A Den of Thieves.

1t 10 likely that Charles Foster,
ex- secretary of the treasury may be
arrested for plundering the depositors
of his bank. His own private &C
count was oyerarawn $135, 900. And
almost every one officially connected
with the concern has overdrawn his
account, also for smaller amounts
1t would appear that the bank was a
regular bunco affair and Mr.. Foster
was the chief buuco steerer.-Nat

Bear in mind this man was Mr..
Harrison's Secretary of the Treasury.
The way these men who have had
control of the nations affairs and
the men who still have control have
acted and are acting is filing the

The People Rule IN Name only,

The treasury department has de-
cided that under the law it is not
obliged to purchase 4 10000 ounces
of silver monthly, as has been the
custom in the past under the Sher-
man act. Law seems to be very

kind of a fellow to interpret it, and
our present administration seems to
be composed of first class interpre-
tiers from gold bug stand point

Mr.. Cleveland proposes to inter

gold bonds in the same way, and the
rumors, like the rustic of the breeze

Presidents purpose to sell fifty to
three hundred millions Of gold bonds
TO redeem currency issued for the
payment of silver purchases. The
cure for these abuses which are
steadily growing is the referendum"

A Family Quarrel.

The prohibition party is having a
family quarrel all of Its own. The
narrow heads, the turbulent zealots
of the party who mean to either rule
or ruin, are waging terrific war
against the more sensible portion on
what they call "dominant issue"
The dominant issuites are riotously
delighted with the opportunity to
assail their more practical and less
theoretical friends who are disposed
to try the State control or South
Carolina plan of abolishing licensed
saloons. They fairly shout their
theoretic principles with plentiful
lack ofresults, and hiss contempt at
the Voice for its practical advice to
try the method of abolishing the
saloons by State control. The 'pure
and simples" will hear none of this,
and shout at the Voice like the cop
persmiths of Ephesia at Paul. If
these noisy zealots don't make q
Kilkenny cat business of their party
it will be no fault of theirs Had it
not been for the Voice's enterprise
and management, the probability is
there would have been no prohibit.
ton party today. And perhaps this
would have been a fortunate circum
stance for the prohibition cause. The
party as it is being run by lot of
jealous Il am holer than thous" is a
hinderance rather than a help to the
cause. If the Voice is pushed out
or drops the party it will instantly
fall dead as stone, and then the
principle would be engrafted with
other reform measures and carried
forward with them. The Voice occu,
pies an excellent field for broad
guage daily reform paper. but can
never achieve much hemmed in by a
little band of narrow minded, micro

Petitioning for the Repeal of the
Sherman law

Representative Talbot introduced a
petition in the House signed by Messrs.
Jacob Tome, Harvey Rowland, s. F.
Everist and forty-three other citizens of
Port Deposit and Rising Sun, including
bankers, business men, mechanics and
laborers, and thoroughly representative Of
the community, asking for the repeal of the
silver purchase clause of the Sherman law,
for the reason that it is absolutely necessary
to avert further disaster, and that it is the
duty of the national Legislature to do
everything in its power to bring about such
a restoration OF confidence. The petitioners,
therefore. earnestly urge their Senators and
Representatives in Congress to advocate the
repeal OF the silver purchase clause of the
Sherman law, with no substitute of any
kind whatever a: this session of Congress,

This looks more like want of confidence in
the banks than in the law or the money.
What the banks want is the destruction OF
Sherman law money and all other kinds
except their credit money. This the people
can't hoard because it is phantom and
invisible.

No More Phantom Money!

The past three months should have

The above is from the head of a

leyes that the people don't know
that bank credit money is phantom

is the only real money that any
nation has or can have. The desper-
ate mendacity of the daily gold ring
