BRILLIANT FINANcIERING.
A Fair Example Of Republican FlnancIer-
ing-Nothing to BE Proud Of


ing-Nothing to BE Proud Of
Uncle Sam has had 500, 900, 900 OF gold
in his vaults which has been untouched
for fourteen years. kansas City KAN
Gazette, February a.
Very true; and does the Gazette know
how that gold came TO be in the treas
ury, and why it remains untouchedP
1t was purchased by the sale of inter
est-bearing government bonds for the
ostensible purpose of redemption of the
outstanding greenbacks; and at the
very time when these bonds were sold
and this gold purchased there was a
law upon the statute books absolutely
prohibiting such redemption. In other
words, this purchase of gold was made
for purpose for which the law abso-
lutely prohibited its use, and yet the
people Of this country have been paying
interest on these bonds during all these
years, while the gold has been lying
idle in the treasury. II is one Of
the means of contraction by with
drawing the amount of currency
from circulation. This is fair example
of the wise financiering of the repub-
lican statesmen who have controlled
the policy of this government for the
last quarter of century. The Gazette
refers to this hoard of 500, 900, 900 as
though it was something to be proud
Of; and, from republican standpoint,
it probably is The republican idea
seems to be that it is not only legiti-
mate, but highly commendable, to tax
the masses of the people under every
imaginable pretext for the benefit of a
few avaricious bondholders, and this is
one Of the schemes by which it is done.
The proposed Nicaragua canal bonds is
another, and the Gazette and others of
like mental caliber undoubtedly favor
that proposed steal, as well as those that
have been already accomplished To

BY Proxy.

An elderly man of sedate and side.
whiskered appearance sat down with
great violence on the sidewalk near the
corner of State and Madison yesterday
afternoon to the serious damage of an
irreproachable suit of black and shiny
silk hat.
As he rose slowly to his feet picked
up his demoralized hat, and looked
about him, his face purple with wrath,
his lips firmly compressed, the veins in
his neck swollen, his features working
as if in an epileptic fit, and his fingers
opening and closing as though moved
by an uncomfortable impulse to clutch
something or somebody, a young man
who was hurrying along slipped and
fell at the same place on the sidewalks
where the gray-haired and sedate old
party had come to grief.
'Blankety-blank the dad-binged
billy-be-dad.busted slippery old coal
hole covers to stagnation and back
again" he vociferated, picking himself
up.

workers and how many are engaged in

and the n.ultifarious professions and
occupations Eugene V. Debs, in the
Locomotive Firemen's Magazine, says

self-respect than so many prairie dogs
They are Chinese Italians, Huns Poles,

But the most important fact, far
reaching in its bearings and conse-
quences, is that more than million Of
these men are out Of employment, suf-
fering the pangs Of starvation, naked.
shelterless and altogether desperate
We are now prepared to review the
hosts enrolled in the grand army OF
toilers and note the peculiar and peril
Gus position occupied by organized la
Dor, the advance guard of union men
With their face TO the enemy, defiant
and undaunted, these gallant heroes
are fighting humanity's battle against
fearful odds We're the plutocratic
monopolies their only foes and could
they confne their efforts TO them. soon
indeed would the eagles of victory
perch upon their banners But they
are hemmed in by foes in front, on
each side and in the rear, while the
hardest task they have to perform is to
prevent those who should be their
friends and allies from breaking
through their ranks and going into the
enemy's camp Most Of the nou-com-
batants who profess neutrality, secretly
give aid and comfort to the enemy,
while the nearly four million non-union
wage workers are utterly indifferent as
to the result, simple bush-whacking on
their own account and carelessly living
and moving on the low moral plane of
sordid selfishness, caring nothing for
humanity at large, or for the better
ment OF the conditions Of labor gener-
ally. The scabs are open and defiant
enemies, ever seeking a weak spot in
the ranks of organized labor and ever
ready to raid its forces when shattered
and broken by plutocracy's assault
And worse than all are the hordes of
idle, unemployed men, goaded to mad
ness and desperation by the pangs Of
distress they suffer and melted to fren.
zied acts by the means and cries Of
their gaunt, wan-eyed wives and chill
dren. Can organized labor win the
fight ere it is cverlastingly too late and
before the cry of bread or blood"
gives notice to the world that checked
evolution has given birth to revolution?
In future numbers shall drop allegory
and imagery and endeavor to show that
the essence of the issue is the demand
for a shorter day of labor.-George C.

The way TO bring about bloodless
revolution Is to concentrate all our en-
ergies on the question Of the remonetiz-

The silver states appear determined
to make that mistake, but the populists

Free coinage of silver will not

we gain the free coinage of silver alone
we will never get our demands, for as

GREEK HISTORY.
(RepOrt for Class ID by j. F.

1t can never be truthfully said that the biog-
In fact, much of what has been written has more
the appearance of utterances born of conviction
than the opiniOnated dicta of the historian. The
air of uncertainty which surrounds their history
has been productive of much SurmiSe and there
is no doubt that much of what was originally
offered as such, has long since been transformed
into and accepted as facts. 1t is possible that
they were the greatest masters of literature,
sculpture, and architecture; but to establish that
superiority it should require more rational
proof, than is at present submitted. The products
of their genius now eXtant are said to embOdy
all the requirements of excellence. True there
are degrees of excellence among them; but de-
grees which only Oscillate between the epic, and
the masterpiece. Nor would that fact be sur
prising, if the preservation of these works was
due to the cOnnOSSeur. but such is not the case.
And when we remember that nature was its only
preServer. we must assume. either that nature
was itself cOnnOsseur. and visited destruction
only upon inferiOrity. or that medOcrity was an
unknown quantity to the Greeks. A notable
feature of Greek history. is that no act is con-
sidered too ignOble. no vice so demOralizng as to
render it inconsistent with the honor of the poet,
philosopher or statesman; disposition on the
part of the writer's, that we would admire and
applaud, if it was inspired by indulgence for
human fraility; but would be blind if we
failed to see that its inspiration was drawn from
no higher plane than that of herO-wOrship. All
that is parexcelent. is not Greek, but all that is
Greek is par-eXceent. Thus it appears from a
peruSal of some writer's on ancient Greece
