Read the article on the first page OH
the destructive power of interest or usury.
Few have any conception of the canker-
Gus power of interest, which seems to the
casual observer and superficial thinker so
harmless, and strictly fair as a business
measure. Nine enths of the distress,
homelessness, misery, disease and crime
can be traced to interest OH money. In
temperance, railroad monopoly and ex-
tortion, sugar trust, oil trust and the
multitude of other trusts, combines,
monopolies and gambling schemes are
charged with the ills which Cypress So
ciety, but all of these combined will not
compare with interest or the usury of
money as an oppressor of the human
race. Interest stands behind all of these
engines of affection and with its whip of
scorpions drives them on to their victims.
The interest or rent on money is the great
impelling cause and source of nearly all
the misery which afflicts civilized society.
Trace it up and you will be convinced
The road to relief of present economic
distress is the destruction of interest by
the State furnishing the wealth producers
with money free of usury. Free money
and free men are SYNONYMOUS terms No
people can be free who are compelled to
work their lives out to pay interest TO an
idle class-or to any class, but all idle
class especially.

We have entered upon a new
epoch in the life of popular gov
eminent in the Western world, and
when our republic energies from its
present Trial it will either come
forth as a despotic Oligarchy that
holds the masses in chains or else a
triumphant commOnalty will have
made social democracy living fact
on the American continent.
The Plutocracy will have van
ished forever, the privilege of prop
erty to crush the souls out of men
will have been annihilated, and
there will remain a government that
is truly of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, and where
no law or custom will be tolerated
which stands in the way of giving
the greatest good to the greatest
number.

Labor Day.

Last Monday ushered into our calendar
of holidays, Labor Day, the first after a
law of Congress setting apart the first
Monday of September as legal holiday,
the same as the Fourth of July, Christ
mas and other holidays. The Fourth of
July is not reverenced as it used to be-
The patriotism Of the masses is not of that
fervent kind i'll the last years of the
nineteenth century that it was i'll the first
years. Labor Day is destined to be the
sign of a new birth of freedom wrung from
a regime of wage slavery that the Con-
tinental patriots never thought of When
they broke by force of arms the kingly
sceptre that essayed to rule them without
question or consent, they little dreamed
a more eXacting task-master was even
then preparing new chains to bind their
posterity i'll vassalage far more grinding
than they had braved every form Of hard
ship, danger and death for Seven long
years to break.
Labor Day is destined to be observed
as the anniversary of an emancipation,
compared with which the Fourth of July
will fade i'll the shadows ofthe past The
lesson of higher civilization i'll the conf
ing years, will be the theme of exhorta-
ton, of song and story for the orator. In
place of turning to the past and pointing
to the lessening shadows of receding
glory, he will ever point to future that
brightens as the sunrise approaching
more perfect day.

THE STRONG POINT about

that they are permanent. They start from
the solid foundation Pure Blood

The Arena for September CON
tains long review Of the Chicago
Strike of '94. The author dis
misses the matter of riots and
violence as being merely a matter
for municipal and state authorities
to have dealt with under the pro
visions of the statutory criminal
law, and not a question affecting
the principals involved in the con-
tilct between organized labor and
organized capital. He then adj
dresses himself to a critical analy-
sis of the rights Of both parties in
the conflict. These he defines ac-
cording to the greatest legal autho-
rites, Blackstone, Coke and others,
and the common law and constitu-
ton of the United States, and by
the same analysis he defines the
nature and functions of the State
and Federal Governments. Then
the author declares the proper
equilibrium of rights under the law,
and shows the peril of such a con
fusion and perversiOn of them as
was manifested during the labor
troubles in Chicago. The paper is
written in a very philosophic spirit,
but it does not lack irony and wit.
The Arena stands at the head of
all American magazines in the dis
cussion of the economic questions
which are moving society to their
investigation as at no former period
in history.

that the money owners of the East abso'

was no telling what more of the same sort
might do, and they did not propose to take
the risk. Right you are Pluty.

1t is not tariff or free trade which

been eating the people Of the
United States up these twenty odd

without borrowing fifty billions OF
bank credit the people would never
even think of tariff as a factor in

The following simple method enables

ment, probably better than any oculist
can observe it for him.
Cataract is said to be due to the grad.
ual deposition Of oxalate of lime in the
substance of the crystalline lens, at
first in small spots or streaks, some
times in one part and sometimes in an
other. The deposit gradually increases
until 1t penetratcs the whole of the
lens, causing blindness. The remedy,
then, is to remove the lens, and after
Its removal the patient needs substi-

spectacles.

self Is piece of card and needle-a
visiting card will do very well. Pierce
q clean round hole near the middle of
the card and hold the card up to the
light close to the eye, looking prefera-
bly, in the direction Of piece of blue
sky. With the card near to the eye the
patient will not see the small hole
pierced by the needle, but he will see
comparatively large, faintly-illumi-
mated field, with his cataract projected
upon it. He is, In fact, observing the
shadow cast by his cataract on the
retina at the back Of his eye. With a
small puncture in the card the shadow
SO thrown is comparatively sharp. But
with anormal eye an illuminated
field or clean disk will be seen. The
patient may thus map down his own
cataract, and settle for himself whether
it is extending and whether he will
have an operation or not None
of the oculists have seen have known
the method, and there may, conse-
quently, be some advantage In maxim

If governments and other assessing
bodies would but place an exual share
of the burden of taxation upon vacant
and unused lands the problems of
providing for the poor andIinding work
for the unemployed would speedily
solve themselves. Under the present
system, the more an individual pro
duces, the better houses and barns he
has, the more stock and grain he
raises, the more he is taxed or fined
for being industrious, while the non
productive vacant land owner is let
off with a very light tax. 1t is as
clear as day that such a plan is un-
just and its baneful effect must be
felt by some one.

Frequently one hears merchants
remark that business is frightfully dull
There is, however, one way to overcome
this dullness and that is by placing
an advertisement in the TRIBUNE.
Every merchant at this time of the
year has on hand some remnants, or
goods that are somewhat shopworn,
and the like, which could be disposed
of at bargain, thus keeping the wheels
of business moving. Place an ad in the
TRIBUNE, because it reaches the buy
ing people, and they are the only ones
our local merchants have to depend
upon for patronage.
