WANTED. A MOSES.

Ono Who WIN Lead Out of the Wilderness
Of Metallism Into . Paper Money Prom
iaed Land
Hon. Benjamin Harrisoni
My Dear Sir-If I may trust to the
accuracy of q newspaper report you
take no cheerful view of the business
situation. You ''see no Moses at pres
eiit who will lead the business world
out of its slough of despond."
Why not be, yourself, the Moses?
One of the first qualifications for lead
ership is clear perception of the popu-
lar need.
We, then, need a Moses; and man
learned in all the wisdom of this our
modern Egypt, and one just escaped
from the bondage of the presidential
Office would seem rarely fitted to act
purely financial one. We have peace
at home and abroad; we possess all the
national sources of prosperity; but the
energies OF the people are paralysed
by an anxiety that has to do with
money. The producer is appalled,
at the little money that re-
wards his efforts, and the business
man by the difficulty of getting the
money necessary to meet his obliga-
tions. This is the slough of despond'
to which you refer, and he would in
deed be a Moses who should lead us
out of it. No money oan be good that
has the fatal defect of insufficient
Quantity. Such money is the active
agent of Universal injustice; its con-
tinued use creates an enormous aggre-
gate of wrong. That the money of the
world has possessed this fatal defect
for years is the experience of every
producer of wealth and the confession
of every market report. Our Moses
must remedy this. He will snlite the
rock and the waters shall gush out;
and the bread of Heaven will be found
to be but the power of knowledge.
The central fact in modern monetary
| science is that gold, because of its linn
tied quantity, fails to discharge the
highest function of money, and for this
fatal defect no remedy has ever been
suggested. Not to be enough is to be
bad
No strong government ever yet
stamped the money fiat upon paper.
Many times under stress of dire neces-
sity has the printed promise of what
| could not be performed been issued
| with more or less success. 1t remains
for some modern Moses to procure the
issue by the United States of paper
bearing the legend: "This is dollar.
I will receive it and all others must"
Having thus far used your own met
aphor, allow me to suggest a more eff
ficient substitute. This slough Ot
despond' of the business world is but
| the bondage of the wealth producers
to the single gold standard, in which
they are compelled to make the bricks
of wealth without the straw Cf money.
And by the strange irony of events the
Pharaoh of this bondage is the once de-
spised Jew, now monarch of Wall
street and of London.
Having enjoyed the best that the
present life has to give, you might
we'll exchange the meager remainder
for immortal fame. Why not be our
| Moses?-E. NJ. Burchard, in Twentieth
| Century.
Mr.. Burchard is respectfully in
formed that the next populist national
convention will formulate just that
kind of platform and select Moses
to lead the people to the promised laid.

How Voters Are Led Into P1utocrsti<
Webs.
The army of idlers are rapidly In
creasing at an alarming rate. AS large
as it now is, it will be much larger.
During the war John Sherman fathered
bill in congress to advertise the ad.
vantages of this country and the high
wages paid to workingmen. Twenty
FIVE thousand dollars Were appropri
ated for paying for the printing Cd
pamphlets, circulars and posters IN
foreign languages, aid the cheap labor
countries of the old world werc liter
ally covered with them. John Sher.
man, in his speech introducing that
bill, argued that capital must be en-
couraged, and id addition to the Nor
rill tariff must hav6 cheaper labor,
that wages were to high. These are
facts Congressional records prove 1t.
The same Internal skink, along with
others of his illk, are now working to
give cheap labor TO capitalists. With
ten MEN after one job. wages will so2n
be cheap enough. All the great rail-
roads and other corporations are nov
saying wages must come down-and
they will COME down
But what chumps the people are!
Capital asks for favors and gets them.
Congressfier start in poor and come
out rich, Notwithstanding their cleo
ton and other expenses amount to fsr
more than their salary.
Labor petitions and petitions for a
few of its rights and gets snubbed for
its pains.
Our servants couldn't grow rich il
they heeded the petitions.
Congressman prefer TO ''stand in
with the plutocrats. BY doing so they
get portion of the wealth stolen from
labor by and through unjust laws
But, we repeat, what chumps the
workers are.
They elect corporation tools to office
and then expect these pimps to pas:
Laws beneficial to the great mass of oul
people.
They saddle themselves and the
plutes get on and ride-and sometimes
iye feel like saying we don't blame the
plutes one bitj for the man who saddles
himself and invites another to get on
and ride, ought not to complain II the
man accepts the invitation.-Chicago
