Congress.

The president, speaker of the
House, six of the cabinet, the heads
of bureaus are all lawyers, accord
ing to the congressional directory
the senate is composed of sixty
four lawyers, five bankers, ten
merchants, one doctor, one farmer,
foureditors. The House pa lawyers,
fourteen bankers, twenty manu-
facturers, eight editors, five doctors,
twenty eight farmers, twenty-five of
other occupations. Unless we count
senator Irby who is planter and
lawyer, there is not a single farmer
in the senate. In the United
States there are 25,000,00O agricul-
turists represented by twenty five
members in congress or seven per
cent. 2O,O00.000 of laborers with no
representation in congress. Yet
politicians talk about the people
ruling this country.
People talk against class legisla-
ton; the only way to prevent it is
by class legislatOrs-class proportlo-
nal representation in congress. 25,-
OOO, 900 farming class and 20, 900, 900
of laboring class which constitute
one class in material interest, should
be represented in the houses OF
congress by half the members direct
" from among and of this class.
In place of this proportional rep
resentation this class is almost eX-
tinct in congress. Those two
branches of this class have plenty
of broad minded, able, intelligent
men who would represent them and
their interest in the government, il
they would search out such men
and place them in control of govern
ment affairs. If they value theil
liberties and equal rights they will
in future search out and place IL
the presidential chair a man from
the labor ranks. They have hun
dreds of able men far better fitted
in every requirement which con
stitutes the statesman to fill tho
presidential chair than either Cleye
land or Harrison. On the mos
important questions of government
they have both proven themselves
to be exceedingly narrow and unin
formed.

A Favorite PIutocratic Trick.

A favorite trick of the ''pie count
err congressman from the south
and republican members from the
west is to make hurricane speeches
in congress against corporations and
in favor of free silver coinage and
vote the exact opposite. The
speeches are intended to deceive
their people at home; the votes are
paid for by the corporations and
plutocratic class they so roundly
abuse for the purpose of shutting
up the eyes of their constituents.
How long can this game be sue
cessfully played?
The same is true of the "great
daily press"-The "Great Gee
Whiz" as the satyrical author of
EDogs and Fleas" has named that
engine of mendacity. Day after day
the daily press will berate, de-
nounce and anathematize the soul
less corporation while at the same
time favOring every measure de-
manded by these same corporations.
1t is truly said by contemporary
that nearly every influential daily
newspaper in the country is the
property of a syndicate or corpora
ton without known and responsible
owner editoror manager-commonly
they frantically denounce pluto
crazy, while all the time represent
ing plutOcratic interests, methods
and measures.

Governor Brown, Of Maryland,
called out the militia at the request
of the coal barOns of the State, at
an expense of $4,000 day. He
has called them home again finding
there was not the least necessity for
their being sent to Western Mary
land. All the plutocrat press
abused Gov. Waite, of Colorado, for
refusing to call out the an. G.'sn
and of course will praise Gov.
Brown. In neither case was there
any use for them. The much
abused Colorado Governor was
right. He refused plutocrat advice.
Gov. Brown acted on it and was
wrong.

A Better Financial System

Is the title of a book written by
George G. Ward brought out as No.
6 of its Capley Square series by the
Arena Publishing Company.
The object of the writer in putting
out this volume seems to have been
to demonstrate the practicability
of a system of government banks
and the preference of such banks
to our present systems. The author
has loaded his work down with
tables of figures so as to insure its
not being read except by limited
number of persons. The single task
of demonstrating the advantage of
government banks to the public is
almost lost sight of behind a CON
fusing mass of statistics and WIDELY
unnecessary details, many irrelev-
ant to the work and others al
together useless. AS a reform book
there is little risk in predicting it
a failure.
