THE EVOLUTION OF GOVERNMENT.
NO III.


Cicero said: "SaluS popHH SupremG
lea sst." Our own state has chosen the
same sentence as its motto: "The welfare
of the people is the supreme law" He
further said: "The greatest and most
noble function In the world Is to be the
author Of the happiness of mankind"
Another ancient writer said: "He that
serves man most serves God best"
Thrasymachus believed and taught
differently. His doctrine was that, "Sub-
jects were born for princes, and govern
ments were TO promote the interest OF
the prince" These two old Romans ex
pressed the two sentiments, the false and
the true, of nations. The history OF the
world demonstrates which set has
prevailed. Yet the same history bears
witness to the truth of Cicero's statement,
and that there has been an effort all
along the line to bring it to the front.
That germ that is hid in the life Of God,
that is to be fully realized In o gov
ernment upon this earth, has found eX-
preston by some noble soul In all ages
OF the world.
Like the diamond that ls found in the
mud, shining the brighter because OF Its
surroundings, the truth he's had to CON
test every inch Of the ground gone over,
shining the brighter for having been
used.
The race in Its embryonic state only re-
vesled, now and then, ray OF that eter
nal light of mercy aud justice that was
seeking an opportunity, and biding its
time in the economy of God, for its en-
thronement in the government Of the
earth.
All governments have accepted, In the
main, Thrasymachus' idea, and have
acted upon 1t; made their laws for the
express purpose of promoting the inter
ests of princes" Hence, there have been
'classes" and "castes" Of society, made
by law the MASTER and servant; the
"hewers Of wood aud the drawers Of
water" for the pleasure Of princes or the
nobility.
In the long ago, before "lRwan order
of civilization was evolved, the "lOrds OF
creation" held in abeysoce their subjects
by force of arms. The "war club" made
slaves Of the subjects for "the interest OF
the princes"
= But humanity grows; "the world does
move" and civilization" developed bet
ter and easier methods Of controlling the
slower classes" Laws were enacted
giving the "bigher classes" the right to
buy and sell labor at q stipulated sum.
That served the interest Of the prince
until other methods could be developed
that would serve him better, by relieving
him Of the care Of feeding and clothing
the slave, and yet hold him as much In
bondage as before. That process, by
which princes and mobiles are served Ai
present, IS "legal tend-r money" The
'lsw" that created legal tender money
was "the straw that broke the csmela
back" That act was the Inflated bauble
that has rIveted the claims Of perpetual
slavery around the neck Of every lAborel
in the world; it matters not to what
country or CLINE he belongs, he iS slave
TO the party that controls the money, the
illegal tender" Of that country.

pie. People may be startled at this
declaration, and declare that l am
crank, ETC., but let them so declare, II
they choose. I only ask them to study
the financial legislation Of the world
carefully and let the facts decide.
Legal tender Is not wealth, never has
been, nor never will be. 1t is only an
arbitrary something, conventional
mskeshift, for the purpose Of satisfy ing
morbid commercial appetite that has
been the bane Of society ever since its in
PRODUCTION.
"MOney" is creature Of law, hence,
can be and Is controlled by the few. The
many to get money" have to borrow 1t,
or use that which some one else has
borrowed.
Thesystem of putting money into circu-
lation by lusning it was invented for the
purpose of taking the fruits Of labor from
the lsborer and giving 1t to the Shylock
In the interest Of princes, upon the sup
position that the labOrer was born to
serve princes.
Let A loan B $1,000, at 10 per cent In
terest; at the end Of ten years B will
have all the money, the entire 81 900, In
his possession as the interest on AS note,
and A still owing B the original $1,000.
To pay that note B takes all the wealth
A created during the ten years he used
B's money.
By this system Shylock gets his money
and the "pound of flesh" nearest the
heart of the borrower. Do you not see
why they ask security, and why It pays
10 own bank stock? Is this financial
system working happiness to mankindH
II not, Cicero would not agree with those
.ho think we have "the best financial
aystem the world ever saw" For Shy
locks 1t Is good, because it tpromOtes their
interests, but to the laborer it Is slav-
cry. The money system as in use In the
United States and the world Is the most
damnable and dlab Dlical system that
could be used, for it "oppresseth the
poor" and thereby "bringeth reproach
upon God" hence, is founded In error,
and must be abolished. 1t is not the
highest expression OF God 10 govern
ment; It does not express the divine will,
only as it does so 10 negative way, to
lead to the right, as error ever points to
truth or rpCtitude.
The system Of government that will
practice the laE or principle, "The vel
fare of the people is the supreme law"
will express God in "the noble function
happiness to mankind"
We are most certainly nearing the
harvest time of an epoch in the worlds
history. "Man's inhumSnity to man has
made countless millions mourn" In the
past. The advancement he has made has
revealed to his wondering gaze" his
mistakes, and he Is now getting ready to
"come up higher" A new dispensatlon
Is being ushered in, by abolishing the
old errors and adopting new ideas and
practices.
The world has been too materialistlC
In It's ideas; man has considered himself
divorced from God, even doubted his
being; hence, he has not based his &C
ton toward man upon the belief in the
"fatherhoOd Of God and the brotherhood
