Apropos to what we said relative to
the Chicago Daily Press special. that
is going the rounds of the reform press.
the Nebraska Alliance has this to saw;
Many OF the reform papers are publishing a
lengthy dispatch purporting to have been sent
from Wall street, March 81, 1892, TO the Chicago
Daily Press, in which the ideas and plans Of the
plutocrats are outlined. Mrs Emory quotes a
portion Of this dispatch in her now book on
imperialism In America" We have read this
dispatch with some care and must say that
all the internal, as well as external, evidence
indicates that it is fake. We have no doubt
that II truly sets forth the plans and senti
ments OF plutocracy; in fact 1t sets them forth

anyone but reformer. Plutocracy never gives

The Debt Incurred for the Purchase Of
the Railroads Could Not BE a Burden.

The Debt Incurred for the Purchase nj
the Railroads Could Not BE Burden.
The proposition of government own
ership of the railroads startles MANY
people on account of the magnitude of
the investment, which might require
the issue of bonds of about six billions
OF dollars. Even so sensible a man as
Senator Carlisle has fallen into the alb
surdity of comparing such an invest
ment with the national war debt and
speaking of it as a burden which the
taxpayers would find even more intol.

Such confusion of thought is aston.
ishing. A debt which is incurred in
order to purchase paying business is
not regarded as a burden, but as a
means of enriching oneself, an oppor.
tunity not to be neglected. The war
debt, although in large sense it was a
most highly paying investment, mas
much as it saved the nation, was in a
business sense a dead loss, being repre-
scented only by dead men and wasted
material A debt incurred for the mr.
chase OF railroads would on the other
hand be represented by business prom
erty OF the most profitable sort The
interest on the war debt, which went
for waste, is dead weight on the
nation and has every cent of it to be
paid by taxation. The interest on the
bonds issued for the purchase of the
railroads, on the other hand, would be
paid, every cent of it. by the profits of
the business, which would also weld a
sinking fund to extinguish the prinei-
pal. The more such property as that

money, it cannot fix price or standard

of all commodities are fixed by the laws
of supply and demand, and money has
nothing whatever to do with them. To

it is not the fault of the dollar. 1t is,
therefore, impossible to create money
that will have at all times the same
purchasing power. Neither has the
volume OF money any effect upon prices,
as is frequently stated, only in so far
that if every one is earning plenty of

larger demand; and when the demand

Money being only in reality stand
ard or uniform legal representative of
value, it should be classed only as such,
and not thought of as something of
value itself. There can be no money.
no representative of value, where moth

Before anyone can get money, if the
laws are just, he must produce, create
or perform something useful and bene-
fetal to society. Suppose a community
should create amillion dollars in money.
and no one had anything to exchange,
the money would be useless. 1t would
be OF no value whatever, as it is neither
food, drink Or clothing. 1t becomes
valuable only the moment some one
goes to the government and desires it
IN exchange for his labor or products.
The money thus put il to circulation

100 democrats and 70 greenbackers.
The democrats, therefore, had a clear
majority of 10 in the house. They also
had the help of every one of the 70
greenbackers on every measure intro
duced for the good of the people. The
democrats were elected to this house on
pledge to reduce the tariff, abolish
national banks, pay off the national
debt and establish free coinage of silver.
They at once elected S. ]. Randall. a
high protective tariff advocate and a
national banker, as speaker of the
house. They did nothing they prom
ised. They did the very reverse. 1t is
more than folly for them to say if they
had repealed any of the unjust laws or
passed any good one, Hayes would have
vetoed their action. If he had done this
the responsibility would have rested
on him and the republican party. 1t
was the duty of the democratic con-
gress to place itself on record in the in
terest of the people. But instead of
this it placed itself on record in the in
terest of the money power, the enemy
OF the people. 1t has had control of the
house ever since 1872, with two excep-
tions. 1t has always since 1860 had
enough in both the senate and the
house to block the passage of the worst
laws. Yet it has not only never stood
solidly for the people, but has vetoed as
largely in proportion to its strength for
the worst laws-such as the funding
act of April IL, 1856, the rechartering of
the national banks in 1882, the pension
steals, land steals, river and harbor
steals, etc.-as the republicans. These
are the facts according to the congress

difficult to obtain in large city on less

This gives us an annual income of
$1,000 for each family of fve-which is
enough to support family in comfort.

That is, no family need starve, or freeze
or go ragged or shelterless, on an in.
come of $1,000, which is what the
American people are earning for them
selves 1t is also fact that a city fam
ilycannot be really comfortable on much
less. Farmers do not realize the real
cost of the support of their own fami-
lies, and are therefore inclined TO thinl,
that a city workman is extravagant be-
cause he does not save out of his wages.
while that same city workman is
obliged to use all he earns and then
often undergoes privations which the
farmer would think pretty hard.
Again some farmers say:
1.-TWO dollars a day is enough for any
man to get / don't believe in such
high wages; | don't believe in unions
trying to get wages higher than 81 a
day."
No doubt 81 a day would be good
wages in your neighborhood, and would
support family in comfort You are
probably paying IS cents day, and the
man you employ does not starve.
Neither will he ever be rich, nor will he
be likely TO own a home. Two dol
lars day will not support a city family
OF five in comfort. 1t will not enable
the laborer to buy home, or to make
provision for old age and sickness.
Ought we not then to sympathize
with the city laborer's attempts
through organization to increase his
wages? Without organization he would
soon be where the English aristocrats
have boosted of having their laborers.
Sin the dust where they belong. with
an army to keep them there"
The interests of the worlds workers
are the same everywhere. 1t is only
the idlers who gain by low wages and a
starving people. When laborers re-
ceive high wages they can afford to buy
more farm produce and pay better prices
for it. This makes good times for the
farmer, who can afford to buy more
manufactured goods, which makes good
times for the manufacturer. and the
cotton raiser, and the wool producer.
and thus the circle widens and industry
revives.
Organization is the only hope for the
worlds workers, the only way in which
they can resist the coming slavery, and
all organizations should recognize this
fact and help each other all that lies in
their power. Is it not right, proper
and just that every man who labors
should organize, agitate, and seek by
every honest means to obtain such
distribution of the products of labor as
will give him what he really earns?
Why should he be content with less?
If some one must go hungry, who
should it be, the workers or the idlersq

There are many would-be financial
reformers who claim that money should

value of horse in dollars and cents

some prefer to state it, a standard of

Standard Platform,

A Plutocratic Tool Upon a Single Gold
Standard Platform.
Mr. Harrison has MANY traits that
mark him as an astute politician and a
statesman In public utterances he is
peculiarly happy. In all the speeches
he has made, as candidate or as presi-
dent and he has made as many. per-
haps, as any of his predecessors. he has
never yet made remark that could be
effectively assailed. His administration
has been quiet, mild, conservative and
clean, speaking after the manner Of
modern politics. 1t has been thorough
ly plutocratic, though, has strictly
adhered to the British financial mol
icy, and Wall street has been its
oracle. In this respect the administra-
ton has not held out ray of
light or hope to the common peo-
pie for financial reform or freedom from
the gold power. The much talked of
international conference need not be
cited as contradiction of this, for as
yet that means nothing and there is not
the slightest indication that it will
lead, or that it is intended to lead. 70
the reconciliation of silver.
In this connection, it is interesting TO
note the source of opposition to the
president in his own country. One
class of his opponents are disappointed
political leaders who feel that the pres
ident has not given them their share
of the public patronage In this class
may be mentioned Garrison. Plat
Quay, etc. Another class antagonized
the president from principle, on account
OF his financial policy, his avowed oppo-
sition to the free coinage of silver. To
this class belong Teller, Wolcott. Jones'
etc. What course the latter will now
take remains to be seen. The state
convention of Colorado adopted a reso-
luton declaring that the republicans of
that state would not support a candi-
GATE or platform antagonistic to free
silver. They have been given both, and
we shall see which is stronger in Color
ado, party ties or principle.
Upon the whole, the convention is a
triumph for the money power, all that
the money power could ask, hope for or
desire The platform offers nothing
new. Its financial declaration means
gold or it means nothing, and we take

are apt to do, has missed an opportu.
