MIR. Foster Can Now Repent In Leisure for
His Premedltsted Deception.
Hon. Charles Foster, eX-secretary of
the treasury under the Harrison admin
istration, has gone to the wall, finan-
cially, with liabilities amounting to
about 100000. We sympathize with
him, as every person should, in his mis-
fortune, but our sympathy would be
greater if he had not used his official
position as secretary of the United
States treasury for four years to manu-
facture, or permit to be manufactured
under his direction, false statements
every month regarding the amount of
money in circulation. He even went so
far as to publish an official document
containing false statistics setting forth
that the amount of money in circula-
tion had increased year by year from
1868 down to 1890. There can be no ex-
cuse offered for that dastardly piece of
work, for it was done with the express
and wicked purpose of deceiving the
people.
Now, that he is down, as a result par
TALLY of his own infamous financial
policy, we feel a natural inclination to
throw the mantle of charity about him
and try to excuse him, but a regard for
the truth and for others who may be
made the innocent victims of the same
policy should prompt record of all the
facts.
His currency statements were pub
lished. expressly for campaign docu-
ments in the interest of his party.
They were false, absolutely false from
beginning to end and were proven such
by nearly all the best men of his party,
and yet he was quoted by politicians
on the stump with as much assurance
as if they were reading from holy writ;
and the falsehoods would be clinched
with the statement that they were
taken from the public documents of
this great nation. lie was held up as a
great man and a great financier and
the farmers with mortgages on their
farms who were presumptuous enough
to question his statements were re-
minded that they should learn to con-
duet their own affairs success
fully before trying TO manage the
finances of the government And vet
there is not one of those f srmers to-day

When Kansas farmer fails certain
class of men are ready to say, ''Good
enough for him, he'd no business to 90
in debt. He has been trying to live too
high-he's too extravagant. There ia
plenty of money if he's got anything to
sell. If he had lived within his means
he would have come out all right No
business to go in debt" But no farmer
will be mean enough to say this of Mr..
Foster. They will sympathize with
him though it is plain to be seen that
he is caught in trap which he helped
to set for others. He has pulled his
own house down on him and is now un-
able to extricate himself-Clay Center

and TO quiet the west and south, which
demand more money, propose state
bank issues in lieu thereof This would
place the country on gold basis Gold
would be money of settlement-it
would be the tender stipulated in all
contracts-and in this coin would all
debts be Hquidated. The state bank
notes cannot be made a legal tender
by the power of issue, hence would not
be the money of account on settlement
day. Inability to obtain gold with
which to liquidate Indebtedness, would
force a property settlement-the sher-
ifs hammer would convey to Shvlock

greenbacks, what of them? They are
legal tenders, it is true. But stop. In
the early hour, soon after the wildcat

are finally landed on terra firma, the
country has an abundance of money.

Gus, and that, we'll, in a word, we do
not need the greenback Hold. Don't
get excited. The greenback must go.
The powers that be have so decided.
But how will they be removed? Easy
enough. Listen:
The greenbacks are debt. non-inter-
est bearing, it is true. The subsidized
press will suddenly set up 'consisten-
cy" howl. They will say, substan-
TALLY: ''The government should liqui-
date its Indebtedness as rapidly as pos
sible. The bonds are not yet due, but
the greenbacks can be retired" The
repeal of the prohibitory tax on state
bank issues means the esta blishment of
hundreds of these banks all over the
country, and these institutions will is
sue hundreds of millions of state bank
currency. This means the demonetiz-
alton of silver and the retirement of
the greenbacks.
Gold will then be the ONLY legal
tender. As was the case before the
war, about every ten years will come
the day of general settlement, when
property will change hands. In other
words, then will periodical financial re-
vulsions sweep over the land. When
the squall comes the mortgagee will
double and treble his wealth, and the
debtor-he can go farther west.-Non-

The Administration and the Money Power
Leagued Together Against the People.
If ever conspiracy existed in any
country it certainly exists in this, hav-
ing for its object the complete over
throw of the bulwark of liberty and es-
tablishing complete despotism of cap
ital over everything else. For years we
have had this kind of business going on
gradually. During this time the people
have become more and more impover-
ished, until to-day it is almost impossi-
BILE to do business with any safety
whatever. Our people are becoming so
impoverished that not one in ten is
responsible as far as property is con-
cerned. What few have property left to
do business with are afraid of every
man they meet, if he wants credit for
one dollar. We were promised when
the administration changed hands, that
different policy would be pursued
and that great relief would be had by
the people. For three months the new
men have been in charge; Mr.. Cleve-
land instructs his secretary of the treas
ury to carry the same old policy, make
everything bow its head to the golden
idol Though the failures are worse
and the outlook resembles a panic
more than it has for years, yet the ad-
ministration looks on calmly and pur-
sues policy that can result in moth
ing but commercial death to every
thing that has not millions of capital

sees this; there can be no mistake
about it; he knows just what the re-

sees no interest. except the moneyed
capital of the world. The course he In
taking will admit of no other construc-
tlon than that he and his advisers are
engaged in a conspiracy to completely
subvert the whole fabric on which we
stand. We are sorry to have to say
such about our rulers, but when we
have heard them condemn the present
policy for years, and now when they
could do something that would be of
general benefit to the people, they go

do Not Stop at Demands, But Vote for
What You Want.
1t is reported from Washington city
that President Cleveland has been read
ing the debates in the English parlia-
Lament and been convinced of the
Justice of the income tax. The presi-
dent could have read just as convincing
an argument made by the labor organ
izations of the United States if he had
tried very hard, for the farmers and
other labor organizations have seen as
clearly for some time as the bosses see
now, the justice of a tax on incomes.
The people of this country do not care
what party grants the desired relief, so
they get it. The persistent demands
of the masses will be heard. even
though the leaders of the peo-
pie ignore them, till convinced
by politicians of other countries
The farmers, though ridiculed at
first, continued to thunder into the ears
of congress the demand for representa-
tion in the ca binet, for the election of
senator's by the people, and many other
reforms. Their dreams are gradually
being realized
The politicians are slow to admit that
the people are intelligent enough to
suggest any way out" Just as the
president has heard the convincing
logic of English politicians concerning
the income tax, but was deaf to the
same arguments of the common peo-
pie" of the United States, so has it been
the practice of our statesmen to ignore
the combined wisdom of the people and
sit at the feet of a few Wall street
bankers who were supposed to be the
embodiment of wisdom on the question
Of finances. But the people will ulti-
mately triumph in that particular also.
There is a firm determination on the
part of the masses to adjust the f1nan-
cial affairs of the nation; to increase
the amount of circulating medium; to
remOnetiZe silver; to take the sovereign
power of issuing money out of the
hands of corporations and give it to the
government where it belongs; to break
the backbone of the money ring which
now controls the products of labor by
controlling the volume of money-these
are some of the things which the peo-
pie are forcing, and they will not rest
till their plans are consummated All
that is necessary is for them to con-
tinue to agitate. demand and vote for
what they want, and they will get it

Thai DOLLARS WORTH.

The Louisville Courier-Journal COR
tends that it is the market and not the
law that gives to gold its price, or
value, and as an argument in support
OF its contention says that if you melt
the gold in gold dollar it will yet be
worth dollar in its mercantile form.
What gibbering idiots these goldolo-
tors are. Of course the metal would be
worth dollar, because if presented az
the mint the law would coin it into
legal tender dollar. A bushel of pota-
toes or a dozen goose eggs would al
ways be worth dollar under the same
conditions and circumstances
The annual production of gold ap-
proximates five millions of ounces. of
which about three and half million
ounces are used in the arts. Suppose
the nations of the earth should treat
gold as they have treated silver, what
does Mr. Wattersoa imagine 23 %
grains of pure gold would be worth In
the markets of the world?
1t is estimated that the worlds stock
of gold aggregates the sum total of
about two hundred millions of ounces,
including the Asian boards Suppose
Mr.. Watterson could cause to be melted
up this entire worlds stock of gold
and could procure the repeal of all gold
coinage laws, what does he suppose
gold bullion would then be. worth in
the markets of the world? Mr.. Waiter

hunting about II a. m. last Saturday
last. They went about six miles and
a half up Sun river and had pretty
good luck. Steve left Stany about
d p. m. and went home. He had at
the time a double barrel muzzle load
ing gun, a powder flask and IL ducks
with him and that is the last seer of
him. AS he did not come home Sat
urday night his brother went out to
look for him. The powder flask was
found on the bank of the river, but
no sign of the man ducks or gun.
1t is supposed that he went into the
river to get some ducks and as the
bank shelves off deep near where the
flask was found it is thought he has
been drowned. Detective Germ

resolutions calling for an extra session
of the state legislature. He said the
governor had expressed his willingness
to reassemble that body if the people SO
chose.
E. L. Murphy agreed with the sense
of the previous speaker and gave str ong
argument why a senator should be elect
ed, no matter what party he represents.

prevailing, the chair appointed as such
committee: Abbott, McAssey, Gray,
Murphy and Kyle. The committee i'm
