What? Why when you talk paper
money, the bankers and their dupes
raise their hands in holy horror at
the idea of starting printing presses
TO work grinding out money 1t
would be so awfully absurd, it would,
We known. But we notice that all the
printing machines have been put to
work over hours to turn out the bast-
ard bank notes for the banks. When
the feel the need of more money they
always have convenient law 10 print
money for them, but the weak, ire
sponsible government could not print
money, o, no., The rich bankers
get money printed and given to them
on bond. but the poor man who has
a deed to his home cannot get money
printed by depositing his deed. Yet
his property is the basis for all the
value of the bond. This shows that
the bankers have been busy with their
Hobbies at Washington city while the
producers were making a living for
them. Remember that John Ruskin
wrote that government bonds were the
purchase, by the rich, of the power to
tax the poor. Every bond issued by
this nation has been a crime and their
issue was instigated by criminals.
The poor fools are just now seeing
their printing presses turning out
money to be handed over to these
bankers so these poor people will have
to give them more of their labor. It
means less food and clothing for the
many, and more lascivious luxury for
the rotten aristocracy- But going

The Daily Press Drunk.

The daily press now has the food
gates of rejoicing wide open at the
improvement in the financial world.
Well, as every one knows that this
crash was gotten up purposely to de-
stroy silver, and as every one knows
that the banks were protected from
loss during suspension, and en-
abled to resume by defying the
law, why of course the poor anarch-
istic critters viii improve as soon
as they are told 10 do so.
But let us see. In this country, BY
its infamous financial system, which
is a mixture Of contraction and ma
tional banking. and metal money de-
struction. every dollar used has to be
borrowed. Now, as every dollar
must go back to the banks bigger by
interest, and therefore subsequent
loans be larger and larger, the money
gets 10 be borrowed over and over a
great many times.
Thus in this country every dollar
has been borrowed over and over six
times. Every dollar is paying so
cents year into the NAV Of capital.
Now the question comes:
How long can this continue?"
We can answer. The debts created
by borrowing are settled once in
about twenty years by great financial
crashes.
And what is financial crash? 1t
is simply balancing OF accounts.
When money can no longer pay, prop
erty must do so. When property is
compelled to pay the debts of money.
there is Il Capitalization OF ownership.
of course. And thus, every few
years, few billions more of property
passes into the hands of an aristoc-
racy of wealth. and the country
moves on the same old journey. to
duplicate the same old goal-ruin.
Now, if the two or three thousand
millions of property have been trans
ferred, or if the plan of the goldbugs
has been sufficiently marked. bust
ness may resume on the lower Level
attained. Paul Great West.

Housekeepers family realize tn,
danger Of an indiscriminate use of the
numerous backing powders nowaday.
found upon every hand, and which
are urged upon consumers with such
persistency by peddlers and many
grocers on account of the big profits
made in their sale. Most of these
powders are made from sharp and
eaustic acids and alkalies which burn
and infame the alimentary organs
and cause indigestion. heartburn.
diarrheal diseases, etc. Sulphuric
acid, caustic potash, burnt alum, all
are used as gas-producing agents in
such baking powders. Most house
keepers are aware OF the painful
effects produced when these chemicals
are applied to the external flesh.
How much more acute must be their
action upon the delicate internal

ufacturers do not hesitate to use them
because they make a very low-cost
powder, nor to urge the use of their
powders so made, by all kinds of
alluring advertisements and false rep

all powders sold with a gift or prize.
belong to this class.
Baking powders made from chemi-
c2lly pure cream of tarrar and bi-car-
Donate of soda are among the most
useful Of modern culinary devices.
They not only make the preparation
of finer and more delicious
cookery possible. but they have added
TO the digestibility and wholesome
ness OF our food. But baking pow,
ders must be composed of such pure
and wholesome ingredients or they
must be tabooed entirely.
DR.. Edison, Commissioner of Health
Of New York, in an article in the
Doctor of HYGIENE, indicates that
the advantages OF a good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dan
gers OF bad ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are
to be secured by the use of Royal
Baking Powder exclusively, and he
recommends this to all consumers.
''The Royal" he says, contains
nothing but cream of tartar and soda
refined to a chemical purity, which
when combined under the influence of
heat and moisture produce pure car
bonic, or leavening, gas. The two
materials used, cream of tartar and
soda. are perfectly harmless even
when eaten, but in this preparation
they are combined in exact compen-
sating weights, so that when chem
zeal action begins between them in
the dough they practically disappear,
the substance Of both having been
taken to form carbonic-acid gas.'
Hence it is, he says. that the Royal
Baking Powder is the most perfect of
all conceivable agents for leavening
purposes.
It seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge
the sale Of baking powders containing
injurious chemicals in place of those
