A SHORT STORY.
How a Discerning Bar-keeper
Got There.
BY TALLIE MORGAN.

The Newman NJ. E. Chu rch is the
largest in the city of Bloomsbarre,
having over 500 members.
The Official Board is in session.
A very animated discussion is going
on over the withdrawal of twenty
seven of the members of the church.
DR.. Williamson, the eloquent pastor,
is speaking:
81 admit that in point of numbers,
twenty-seven out of over eight hun
dred would make but very little diff
ference, but see who the twenty sew
en- are-the very ones who carry Oh
our prayer meetings and attend to the
spiritual affairs of the church. 1t is
true that they are not the wealthy
part of our church, but church can
not be run with money alone"
''BrOther Williamson" spoke up the
Hon. Charles Smith, member of the
Legislature, 81 say let them go we
will get along much better without

the Prohibition party and right here

any man who did not vote their ticket
was supporting the liquor traffic. Now,
claim to be as good prohibitionist
as any man in the Prohibition party,
and indeed, better prOhibitionist,
for the reason that had the honor OF
voting for the enactment of our present
high license law, which has done more
for temperance than the Prohibition
party will ever accomplish:
Then Judge Grant, one of the coun-
ty Judges, spoke mp: "Gentlemen

being the bulwark of the liquor traffic
is nothing short of blasphemy in call.

And still it Is our hearts are wrIng,
AS la the day this song was sung;
The promise OF good Is always made

Now there's our friend, one ID. b. Hill,
Confronted by the Silver Bill;
We only make this one demand,
ON which side Of 1t does ID. b. stand?
His answer soon must come out plain,
AS the balotting cohorts get in train;
But it differs little which side he's on
He'll be "lef hillin' up corn"
Then again there's our fat friend Grover, -
Who, were he right, would be in clover;
But ah! he loves these business men,
And rambles about the mugwump pen.

Or takes his gun and hunts the duck

The Sub-TreaSury plank is here to stay;
The man who wishes his success to promote
And secure for himself the labor vote,
Must smile out loud that reform has begun,
And throw up his hat and yell like fun;

Or surely be 'lef' a hilin' up corn

w. G. T.. U. STATE CONVEN-
TION.

To the w. G. T. Unions OF Mississippi:
The eigth annual convention of the
Mississippi Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union will meet in Corinth
on Thursday morning, May 5th, at
$50 o'clock and close on Sunday,
May 8th. The railroads will give the
usual rates of one and One-third fare,
on the certificate plan, to delegates
and visitors. Your State Executive
Committee asks that each union will
at once elect the number of delegates
to which it is entitled and send their
names to Miss Laura A. Stout, Presi-
dent of the Corinth Union. AS some
Unions may not understand the basis
of representation in the State Con-
vention, | will explain that every pres
ident is, er O6iciO, a member and each
Union is entitled to one delegate and
one additional for every twenty paid
up members. Elect only woman who
can and will go, and if any are unable
to defray the cost of travel, let the
money be furnished from the treasury,
or by collections, or in any way that
is thought best. You can do nothing
better for your local work than to
send as many women as possible to
the annual convention. The Young
Woman's Branch of the w. c. Il. U.
is entitled to the same representation,
and we hope to have great many of
them with us. During 1891 the num-
ber of our Unions was almost doubled
owing to the labors of Mrs. Goodale,
Miss Belle Kearney, Mrs. Wells and
Mrs. Erwin as organizers, and we long
to meet and greet our new sisters
through their representatives. We
need their fresh enthusiasm and they
need to learn from the experience of
those longer in the work. Many inn
portant matters await discussion and
settlement. Come, sisters, and let us
together plan for more extended and
thorough work during the coming
year for God and Home and HUI
manity.

Another part of the truth i'm the
Greenback idea pertains to the issue
of currency. BY the Constitution the
federal Government alone has the
right "to coin money" and "regulate
the value thereof This is an attri-
butte of sovereignty and has been such
in all important nations. But the
methods of issuing currency are equal
ly important. There are three ways
in which new issues of legal tender
currency can reach the people of the
United States and at each of the three
ways stand the capitalists with power
to make their own terms. The man
who owns gold bullion takes it to the
treasury and receives in return an
equal value in coin or in certificates
representing coin. What he receives
becomes his and can pass out of his
hands only on his own terms. The
second way is similar except that it is
the man who owns silver who becomes
a recipient of the coin or certificates,
aud parts with them Oh his own terms.
The third way is through the national
banks. A banking corporation pur-
chases 800, 900 worth, for instance, of
national four per cent. bonds and de-
posits them in the National Treasury,
receiving from the Government four
per cent. interest regularly. In addi-
ton, nnder the present arrangement,
the corporation can issue bank notes,
printed for it by the Government, to
the amount of 800, 900, and issue them
ON its own terms. These are the three
avenues by which alone new issues of
legal tender currency can reach the
people and'become part of the gen.
eral circulation. And in each of the
three. as we say, stands. the capitalist
with power to exact a toll on every
dollar that passes. The GreenbackeI
is right when he says that this is an
infamy. He is right when he calls il
robbery and demands that it cease,
A few days ago Mr.. Leech, Directo,
of the Mint, said before the Senate
Committee that there is no need OF
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-04-07

A part of that truth is that with the
commerce of the world increasing rap
idly year by year, and the demand for
currency increasing in every civilized
country, the production of gold does
not increase. 1t is practically the
same to-day as it was 20 years ago.
Even the aggregate production of gold
and silver cannot keep pace with the
tremendous increase of the worlds
commerce. The fact admits of no dis
pute. No amount of theOrizing can
waive it aside. If we are to continue
piling up the great aggregate of the
worlds commercial transactions while
the life blood of commerce, the circu
lating medium, is restricted in amount
to the production of one or both these
precious metals, what is to be the re-
suit? Evidently n continuous in
crease in the relative value of those
precious metals and in the wealth of
those who hold possession of them.
1t is true that the world has devised
substitutes, such as checks, drafts,
notes, bills of exchange, letters of
credit, postal notes, etc. But all
these rest on gold as a basis of value,
and the moment scarcity of gold is
felt all these forms of exchange which
call for gold and arc acceptable only
us long as they can be readily con-
verted into gold, feel the effects,
shrink in volume or in value, and we
have panic. This sort of thing can
not go on forever.

more currency, and in proof cites the
fact that the banks of New York City
had $3j 900, 900 over and above all re-
serves lying idle. Quite likely and
not one dollar of that sum will ever
get into general circulation, much as
it may be needed, except upon the
terms those banks choose to make. 1t
is also true that it was but a few
months ago that men were borrowing
money in this city at one per cent. per
day on gilt-edged securities. The
currency that is issued cannot get
where it is needed except on the terms
of the capitalists, through whom as a
all money is now issued.

GREENBACKISM.
What the Doctrine Needed to
Make 1t a Success.
The Currency Problem and
Some Current Solutions of It.
"Thc Voice" Presents Some In
teresting Ideas Oh the Subject.

Early in the seventies the Green
back Party began to promulgate an
idea which has persistently refused to
die. After 80 years of political ebb
and flow, though the political party that
championed it is dead, the idea still
survives and has today stronger vi
tality than ever. 1t has 40 powerful
journals acting as It's champions.
There has not been, during most of
tins time, any organization behind it.
1t has been secuted and dubbed by
most of those whom America honOrs
us its great statesmen. 1t has suffer
ed defeat after defeat. According to
all the rules of ordinary experience it
should have died years ago. Why
did it not do so? Because, i'll our
opinion, there is in the idea an imper-
ishable truth that can neither be club
bed nor sneered nor ignored to death.
We say there is an impcrishable truth
in the idea; we do not say there is
nothing else in it. There is also, in
our opinion, serious defect in it
which has prevented its triumph be-
fore this. The truth in it, however,
is of an important and imperative
kind, aud demands hearing.

Here is where Greenbackism fails of
the very purpose it has in view, name
ly, to deprive the holders of gold of
their power to manipulate the money
market. The Greenbackers, surprised
as some of them may be to hear it, do
not go far enough. They insist that
the Government shall by direct issue
supplant the national bank and divest
it of it's power, but it leaves the work
of exchange to be carried on by pri
vate corporations, and in their hands
would abide a power over the money
market at least equivalent to that
possessed now by the national banks.
The holders of gold would fix the
prices of exchange. They could at
once discredit the issue of paper
money despite its legal tender quality.
The merchants doing business with
foreign countries could no longer eX-
change their paper currency dollar for
dollar with gold, for the holders of
gold could demand premium and the
merchants would have to pay it or
default in his payments abroad. A
year ago $70,000,0O0 in gold was sent
abroad within three months time. 1t
was obtained from the Government,
and not a cent of premium paid. But
with such demand as that for gold
and no place to obtain it except from
the exchanges, what premium would
the holders of gold have charged
Heaven only knows. Enough, prob
ably, to have sent bankruptcy stalk
ing all over the land and to have add
ed tens of millions to their own pos
sessions. Discredited at one point,
the currency of the Government would
be discredited at all points. The
wage-earners, the salaried men, and
the real producers, employers and en-.
ployes, would feel the disastrous eff
fects. The holders of gold and the
spectators in money would reap {
harvest as they reaped it during the
war. The Government must go on,
step further, therefore. 1t must no
only attend to the coinage for print
ing) and the issne of money, but i
must do the work which the Green
back program would leave to the ex
changes, If it is to free our currenc,
from the holders of gold. To leay'
to these the sole power of exchange il
J to leave to them everything. A cor
