George c. Beecher says: sit will
be we'll with America if the monopo-
lists surrender their privileges in season
to prevent a social revolution. Prop
the heavens with justice and they will
not fall; make law the synonym of

The twenty-second of February
conference of all the industrial organi-
cations is to meet at ST. Louis. Every
national organization will be entitled

The Pennsylvania Farmer truth
fully remarks that because farmer
takes an active part in politics is no
reason that he is neglecting his farm
any more than the business man is his
business when he interests himself in
that direction. Neither should the
farmer be censured any more than the
business man because he wants things
run for his benefit once in a while"
"A little glimmer of sense has at
length penetrated the thick skull of the
secretary of the treasury. He has at
last discovered that gold is too mar
row base upon which to build the
worlds financial structure" One more
effort, Mr.. Secretary, andeyou will find
that both gold and silver are much too
narrow base for the same purpose.

And now the secret is given away
that s'prominent democrats in Ohio"
aided, by their money and their votes,
the election of representatives who
would vote for John Sherman's return

to prove to the people that the two old
parties are in secret league to perpetu-
ate the rule of the Shylocks. Chicago

Two stout horses can draw say two
tons This being the case, it would
require $500 teams to draw the silver
now in the United States treasury. Sill
YER is q commodity, like cotton. and
one would think that our old parties
had put under way very tidy sub
treasury scheme in authorizing the
United States treasurer to buy three
and a-half wagon loads of silver per
day as basis upon which to issue a
paper money. Why are the silver mine
owners made favored class? This is
q question now commonly asked on the
farms of the west and the plantations
of the south.-New Nation.
Many people say give us q proper
basis for money. Well what is the
basis or backing OF q national bank
note? A United States bond. Then
what guarantee is behind q United
States bond? The governments obi
CATION to pay. It is the governments
note. Does that make it good? Ger
tainly. Then why not issue the gov
ernment's notes in small denominations
called treasury notes? If the govern
m9nt's obligation is sufficient back
ing for the great national banking in
stitutions why is it not sufficient
backing for few millions of circulat-
ing medium?-Weekly Toiler.
