ford an example to private employers
throughout the country" This re-
minds the Record and Guide, the lead
ing real estate journal of New York,
OF the declaration of famous English
statesman in 1877 that ''the reign of
numbers, If it endangered nothing else,
endangered political economy" The
Record describes competition un-
der the reign of numbers and looks on
the willingness of English statesmen
to protect labor against competition
wages as evidence that ''the instincts of
mankind are in rebellion against the
savagery of competition, and we need
not be dreamers or Bellamyites to be-
1ieve in the coming of a new social or
der wherein there may perhaps be less
political economy, so called, and more
Christianity" And let it be noted that
while American judges are clubbing
labor unions for battling for living
wages, the sentiment in England is
toward government guarantee of
equitable wages. Before America and
England have settled the labor ques-
tion, they are sure to adopt political
economy which will not be endangered
by 1.-The reign of numbers" The en-
couraging part of all this is that papers
like the Record are doing powerful
deal'' of reading between the lines Of
the days doing.-New Nation.

NOT DECAYING.
The Missouri State Alliance Is In Excel
lent Fighting Trim.

The Missouri State Alliance Is I'm Excel
lent Fighting Trim.
The statement which is frequently
made, that the alliance organization in
this state is in decadence, is true in so
far as the number of active members is
concerned. There are, no doubt, fewer
paid members than there were one year
ago upon the secretaries rolls, but in
all that goes to make the order strong,
vigorous and aggressive, it is in better
condition to-day than ever before
The membership which has dropped
out of ranks, are those who went into
it for place or selfish profit, or else they
did not appreciate the gravity of the
duty assumed in joining it. They
were hinderance rather than a help in
the accomplishment of the great work
to be done. They could not be relied
upon in the performance of the great
duties to which their obligation SOL
emnly pledged them. The alliance will
be stronger and it's work more certain
ly done without them.
An army is not advantaged by long
lines of camp-followers, hangers-on and
stragglers The electives are handi-
capped indeed by such contingents.
We are engaged in struggle, such as
not before in the history of the people,
has had victory. In all such contests
heretofore the industrial many have
found defeat, when confronting organ
lied plutocracy. 1t remains for us with
the alliance in the van, to write a new
page in the history, in the onward and
upward march of humanity. This will
be possible only because we have at
tanned better civilization, higher
patriotism, more sublime heroism
than those gone before
In the accomplishment of this des-
tiny we need an army of heroes-we
are better without the place hunters
and laggards. State Union.

AN "HONEST" DOLLAR,
The "Honest" Gold Dollar Is a Super
stitious Fallacy That Should Be Dis
I'd

The "Honest" Gold Dollar Is a Super
stitious Fallacy That Should Be Dis
carded.
There should be an end to the cant of
calling the gold dollar an ''honest dol
lar" When nation after nation per-
mits a single class to manipulate its
value in its interest, it becomes dis
honest dollar. The conscience of the
country demands that the public regu-
late the value of the unit, keeping in
mind debtor as well as creditor. The
ideal is that the unit of value should
be kept as constant as the unit of
weight.-Christian Union.
And how is the unit of value of money
to be kept as constant as the unit Of
weight? There is but one way, and
that is by keeping a constant and never
decreasing or increasing per capita
money circulation, sufficient in amount
to do the business of the country
Shelbyville Qll.) Peoples Paper.
We will never have an "honest dol
lar" until we entirely discard the super
stitious fallacy that the unit of value
must necessarily possess value of and in
itself. Money is counter, and a
counter only, the unit of computation,
possessing nothing but an ideal value
The value of the dollar is, as the su-
preme court has said, IAN ideal thing"
Let us have an absolute, full legal
tender paper dollar.

NATURALIZATION.

Capitalization of Business In the Hands
of the Few-Soon We VIII Have Only
Very Rich and Very Poor Throughout
the Land.
A plan is at present being perfected
that seems to indicate the prophetic
power of Edward Bellamy. Those who
have read his highly interesting book
Looking backward" will remember
how he shows that naturalization of
industries was brought about in a per-
fectly easy and natural manner; how
the great trusts and syndicates, COB
bling up one enterprise after another
made the transition to public owner
ship comparatively easy and simple.
The experience of the past few years
has shown this transition, but nothing
has occurred that made it palmer than
the plan of the ''big four" of Chicago
that they have just perfected.
This is a scheme to control the tan
ming and also the shoe-making industry
of the country. They hold 1000 acres
of land at Tolleston, Ind, and are going
to utilize it by erecting large tanning
establishments, in which they propose
to tan the immense number of hides
they get in their slaughtering houses
in Chicago. 1t is claimed that they con-
troll rs per cent. of the hides produced
in the country, that being the amount
they get in their packing establish
ments in Chicago and other places.
They also intend to erect large shoe
factories to work up the leather.
Now suppose this plan succeeds. Then
what is to become of the millions
of Capital invested in the tannery
business? What's worse, what is to
become of the poor men, who have
invested all they have in that business?
II they go into some other business, they
must expect some syndicate or trust to
gobble that up, and being driven from
one thing to another they may expect
to wind up finally in the poorhouse
Hence if this thing continues, we
must expect to degenerate into nation
of millionaires and paupers.
What shall the harvest be?-National
Advance

Ahout Trusts.

One of the simplest and most con-
vincing arguments against trusts" is
the following from the Lincoln Herald:
"It is all wrong for the poor man to
even talk of taking the property Of the
rich. In fact it is anarchy. But it is
right for the rich to form trust and
take the property of the poor. A cent
is not much, but it is taken from the
poor ON every pound of sugar and on
every gallon of coal oil 1t is all right
to have a school book trust take
quarter of dollar from the poor man
every time he buys book for his chill
dren, but it is thirty days and costs for
a poor man to swipe book. 1t is an
archy to talk of an income tax, but it
is all right TO snatch ten dollar per
day from the poor devil who drives a
team in the express business. Half the
tax is advised to be taken off hank cir
culation, but there is cry that the
poor mans meager stuff shall be as
sessed at It's full value. These facts are
not all connected, but they are worth
thinking about. Some people. we hear,
are smoking them In their pipes"

DEBTS AS a BASIS.

State Bank Notes Must Necessarily BE
Based on Debts - Give Us National
Money.
1t is given out that Secretary Carlisle
is in favor of repeating the Sherman
silver purchase law, and of repeating
the tax on state bank circulation. 1t
is intended that states shall grant
charters to corporations, and that the
government will guarantee the notes.
Our objections, in brief, are:
First-Debt!
The "basis" of the notes-what?
Debt!
A state without debt could have no
notes of its own! That, in itself, would
be an encouragement to keep in debit
Or, at least would be an inducement
for bankers to have corrupt lobby at
every meeting of the legislature, to
work through schemes of extravaganza
in order to not only keep the state in
debt, but to increase Indebtedness in
order to furnish them with basis for
their notes! The basis is debt. The
people must be kept in debt, and forced
to pay usury, in order that Shylock may
have basis for his notes!
2. Uncle Sam should issue all money.
everything in the shape of money in
the United States. Let him issue prom

Let these promises to receive fiat

ment for any and all debts due it, and
let them be declared legal tender in
payment of any and all debts, public
and private.
Such money will be redeemed" every
time they are passed over to Uncle Sam
in payment of taxes, etc.
They would be far better than any
state bank money could possible be

in Maine or California would know
they were good"

Government banking is by no
means new proposition, but a neces-
sary sequence to the demand for reform
in our system of finance. Advanced
thinkers on questions of production
and distribution have always under
stood that money was not value and
that any system of financial exchange
that treated it as commodity could
only do so to the detriment of the pro-
ducers of the actual values which it is
the function of money to exchange. A
mere novice in the demand for financial
reform understands that the distribu-
ton of money is far more important
factor in the business of the world than
its issue. Hence the demand that it
shall reach the people without the in
tervention of banks, which could not
be under our present system of private
banking.-Alma (Kan.) News
