WAsHfseros Crrr. Aug. eI-A state
ment WAS today given cut for publication
BY Pension Commissioner Lochren with
respect to the pending Van Leuven in
vestigation. Ii says in part:
Yam Lenven has for many years done
large pension business, having his office at
Lime Springs. Va. His ciientage was
drawn from all over the states OF Iowa and
Minnesota. even from remote spots OF the
country. In June last, n result OF pre-
hminsry investigation. he was suspended
by the secretary Of the Interior from prac-
fice before the department. IL was clearly
shown that for years he had supported
claims which he prosecuted by highly
developed and successful system OF d.shon-
est practices. purchaseof testimony, frsud-
ulent preparation OF affidavits. orioing
sworn officials of the government, and
wholesale deception of applicants for pen
sions by means Of which they we're In
duced TO show gratitude by paying fees
beyond the amounts allowed by Law. 1t IS
apparent that oil claims allowed upon ex
parte evidence furnished by Van Leuven
must be Investigated. Doubtless there
are some cases in which temporary loss OF
pension will work hardship to worthy
men, but no pains will be spared TO ascer-
tain such cases and make the period OF
suspension as brief as possible.

what he had justly earned.
In the fifteenth century, previous to
the discovery of the New World, there
were only s186OOO,COO Of money in the
world-one-third gold, and two-thirds
silver, but both so scarce as to be un-
seen by the common people; civilization
was at a stsndstill, business parslyzed
and famine and distress ruled the land.
The colonists, seeking liberty, found
only its empty shell, for they learned, as
man has ever learned, that there Is no
slavery 40 hopeless as that of poverty.
The world has never known Serfdom or
system of slavery which wealth could
not emsncipste. But there was little
choice between the poverty Of the colo
nies and that Of the old country, so with
the new semblsnce Of liberty they were
content; making, in the absence Of su
thorizsd money, a legal tender Of dried
fish, coonskiEs, tobacco and other srti.
cles Of production. On account Of it's
universal demand and the greater con-
venience tobacco, after time, became
the chief medium OF exchange and was
accepted as legal tender, not only In the
colonies, but by imperial England who
sought it eagerly, but now demands gold
and gold only. Yet, who can say that
any of these coins possessed intrinsic
value, unless perchance he claim it for
the poison that tobacco possesses.
Neither was their any limit to the
amount that might be produced, but
each man received all that he had the
energy to work for, yet, under this
seemingly loose system Of finances, the
colonies grew in population, wealth and
general advancement at rate which
even now, in the dawn Of the twentieth
century, is wonder to the world.
In the early part of the sixteenth CEN
turY, when gold and silver were poured
into the Old World from the new conti-
nent, free coinage Of both gold and silver
made money 80 plenty that land, labor
and the products of labor rose almost
instsntaneously on an average Of about
200 per cent. and the world laughed
with such prosperity and plenty as it had
never known before, nor has it known
since.
To-day there is in the civilized world
little more than $3,OOO0OO,OOO in both
gold and SILVER. OF this, France, Ger
many, England and the United States
own fve-sevenths, enough, by a careful
estimate, to transact only so per cent Of
the business Of the world on an actual
cash basis. Take out the millions that
are stored In private banks and govern
ment vaults and how much think you Of
the business Of the masses must be done
on credit at the rate Of from 6 to 36 per
cent. interest.
If the money losners Of England alone
should to-day demand tOe payment Of
their outstanding debts in gold, there is
not enough in the world to pay them. It
is estimated by neutrality-suspicious. that
there is scarcely enough gold left to
supply the demand for dental and other
scientific purposes. Thresdneede street,
London, with Wall street for it's tool, is
demanding gold and gold only, because
with less than $2OOO,OOOOOO of it in the
world, they could soon have the entire
financial policy of the civilized world un-

wRrded as in the past for the two-thirds
Of our money now is silver and paper.
Is it not high time that labor demanded
a recognition that is at least in sight Of
the massesp AS we'll have pebbles from
Neptune for money as gold that can
never reach beyond q few banks and
millionRires. We should have q coin
that can reSCh the masses and compel
wealth to accept j. or 60 without the
products of labor ss labor has done with
out money. Neither need we worry
about the amount in circulation becom-
ing too large until it is at least sufficient
to pay the worlds 6ebts and transact ita
business on a cash basis. This would
do away with the class who now live on
interest, or at least with those who are
living and loaning money from their in
terest alone at such q rapid rate that
without complete change Of condition

lish as complete q monarchy as Napo.
leon established over France. The in
come of William Waldorf Astor amounts
to $25,027 per day, John D. Rockefeller's,
Sl6,O03, and so on down through the list
of Vsnderbilt's, the Ssge's, the Gould'g,
the Huntington's, eto. But even the in.
consistency Of the gulf between them
and the hundreds Of Thousands Of labor
ers who are hungry for bread to-day in
our large cities does not seem so colossal
as the infamy Of congress who gave tc
our national bankers the power to issue
notes to the value of $40 for every one
they have in coin to pay; these notes
being nothing more or less than promis,
sorry notes to pay when they are able
and upon these notes they charge irter.
est IN proportion to the poor mans ne
cessities, thus enabling them to draw
from 6 per cent. to 40 per cent. interest
on their debts. The farmer or the Ia.
borer anywhere would think the mil
lenium had come should congress pass q
law which would enable him to draw ar
equal interest on his debts and would
set his brain to work to get just Rs fast
as he could find fools or serRs to loar
him money and pay him interest or
what was loaned.
Yet this is just what you and l, my
friend, poor fools that we are, are doing
every day that we tolerate the pluto
cratic domination Of congressman who
turn traitors to the people and allow
banks to draw our hard earned dollars
from the public treasury for which the
banker gives back to US, without sc.
curity, his promissory note to pay wher
convenient, and for the use OF his note
we must pay him, in Kansas, from 10 pei
cent. to 40 per cent interest; yet this ID
"the land Of the free" where We have
equal rights to all and special privilege
to none, and we like bringing hounds
fswn and lick the hands that have
robbed us.
No wonder that these same men who
have thus robbed the masses declare that
"the people are no better than mules
who il given q big feed of corn will for.
get all past brutality and indignity."
Every oppressed class is despised by
it's oppressors, and no great wrongs have
ever been wholly righted until the
wroDged have awakened to q realization
