The president recently gave notice
that he Will convene congress early In
September 10 repeal the Sherman law.
which now adds about s., 600 900 month
" to our volume Of money. This will
land US back 10 where we were when
the cruel aud fraudulent act Of 1873 was
passed Il is cowardly blow in the
face Of wounded man. II Is the pirat
ical bombardrnent of cities filed with
defenselcss people. All the strength OF
the administration backed by the money
power Of two hemispheres will be ex-
erted TO bring this about. The purposes
had in view by the international con-
spiracy of 1873 was retarded by the pop
ular uprising which followed. But never
for one moment have they abandoned
their fell purpose.
The president will urge upon congress
the repeal Of two laws relating 10 our
fnances-the Sherman law and the law
imposing 10 per cent tax upon the issue
of state banks. The first will complete
and condone the crime Of 1873 and con-
| fscate fully one-half of the property of
! the country. The second will remit Us
| to hybrid currency OF A different vari-
! cites none of which can be a legal tender
under the constitution, and will start US
! on the road to a succession of panics
| 10 trH. IN ba
war As i'll tho panic of 1873 the people
were told that If they would consent to
the destruction of the greenbacks and
the decentralization Of silver the national
banks would supply their wants. so now
they are to be told to look for relief
| through state bank issues,
NECESSITY FOR A CHANGE.
The present generation has twice been
| painfully reminded that readjustment
of our money system is of first neces-
sity. It should he fashioned to suit the
wants OF an independent republic, and
all traces of systems which We're invent
ed by monarchs to enrich princes and
rob peasants should be forever elimi-
mated Al power over the currency is
vested in congress. This has been ad-
Indicated by the highest court known to
our constitution and is our only safe
guard.
Our present banking system, instead
of being a source Of security, is the gen
esis of danger and the storm center o.
commercial panics. When the people
most need their aid, they take the LEAD
in the wild scramble for money and arr
forced by the necessities Of the situation
to turn a deaf ear to the demands O
trade. But for the timely aid of thu
treasury extended to the money center
. at various intervals during the past q
wears the business Of the country would
: have been hurled into chaos, disorde
and rum.
THE GREAT QUESTION.
One OF the greatest, if not the greatest
questions III our civilization is this: VIVA
shall be our permanent system of tinanc
: "a system which shall last as long a
| the flag shall float? 1t is the question

Il Our peop!o now understand that metz
