Will the World Wake Cpc


1t is estimated that it costs Japan
an even million dollars per day to
carry on it's war against China. Just
stop and consider what all this means.
First, consider the loss of life; sec
ond. the destruction of property; and
lastly. the burden of usury the laps
are assuming when it funds its war
debt into Understanding bonds. From
death and destruction nation can
rise again, but from usury-never.
Like n milestone around its neck. ia
pan will go staggering along for CEN
turtles to come, taxing generations upon
genera tons to pay for the folly of war.
II seems as if the human race is deS-
tined TO never learn the folly of war.
If wars could be fought without Gre
ating foreign bonded debts. they would
not be the curse they are to-day. In
most eases wars are provoked by the
money lOaners for no other purpose
than to create bonded debts. \ few

of barbarianS, and to court the ways
Of sO-called civilization. When Japan
was Il follower of China she could not
borrow money. but the moment she be-
gan to become civilized she embraced
the uSury idea. and the borrowing of
money became ut once an easy matter.
The building of big war-Ships was
begun. WarshipS are supposed to be
evidence of civilization. The people

and equip these engines of death. bat

How DO You Like IL?

How do you like these times, farm
er?
How does 4! cent co ton strike you,
any way?
How does 30 cent wheat meet your
views of Justice?
Don't be scared at these prices for
your products.
If the money power continues to
dictate laws prices will fall lower.
You old hayseeds will be selling cot
ton for 2 cents per pound before two
years more if the old parties boss the
country.
You will produce % cent wheat, too,
before you are two years older If the
money power dominates your Congress
that long.
Oh, you are in for it You voted
and whooped for the old parties, and
now you should look pleasant and take
your medicine.
After the war the money power set
in to enslave the people and pauper-
ize the laborers and producers.
1t has about accomplished the pau
perizing act. All it asks for is a few
more years of power another old par
tv president and then you farmers
will he serfs.
You farmers and laboring men are
waking up none too soon. You have
a chance now, but it may bring on a
revolution before you can down the
money power.
Don't lay the fiattering JUNCTION to
your souls that the money power Is
going to give up without a hard
struggle, and it is not improbable that
| it will throw the country into revo-
luton.
Money is all powerful. There are
evidence of it's power on all sides. 1t
is INSCRIPTIONS and without mercy.
1t does not care rush for human life.
The money power would much rath-
er make million graves than sacri-
flee its hold ON the throats of the peo-
pie.
1t will force labor, and the poor and
producing masses to condition that
will cause a revolution, and then call
them revolutionists, rebels, anarchists
and have the army ordered out to shoot
them down.
There are breakers ahead. Don't be
surprised if you find yourselves i'll a
storm. Gold gamblers are desperate
and refuse to give quarters. You
farmers and laboring masses may be
able to down the cormorants by pO-
litical revolution if you act quick and
make it strong. If you avoid an &C
tual revolution. you will be lucky.
The money power does not work
| openly and fairly. 1t does its work in
the dark or in the guise of friend.
Even men who voted for the demoneti-
cation of silver claim they did not
| know it was loaded, and that it robbed
the people of half their money. John
Sherman seems to have been the one
who pulled out the paper money wad
and stuck in gold bullet, and the
London Jews pulled the trigger
Searchlight, Dover, Ky.
BONDS were issued to get money to
carry on the war-so the bankers tell
the people. They want more of them
issued now, so the presumption is
strong that they want to use them to
put down labor war. Bonds enough
will soon starvs all the laboringmen.-

rency to be guaranteed by the Gov
eminent. This proposition of the Ma
tionsl Banks might be commended
for one reason. 1t is the first honor
acle act of the money power in thirty
years of financial history. For the
first time in all these many years the
national banks are sailing under their
true colors. Every dollar of the
money they propose to issue will be as
gold because it will be guaranteed by
the Government. Every dollar of it
will be as good as q greenback, if it is
made a legal tender, but it couldn't
be any better. Every dollar of it will
bring usury to the money lords and
impose an obligation on the people in
their capacity as government.
For all this what are the people to
gain? They cannot possibly gain
anything whatever. For a scheme of
robbery nothing to compare with this
has ever been devised in the annals of
history 1t is simply astonishing that
such stupendous steal should be
proposed and public notice given of
the fact. This is why we say it is
more honorable than methods adopted
in the past. 1t is more honorable for
private craft to sail under the black
flag of the buccaneers than to raise
the national colors and under thu
guise of loyalty plumber the unsus-
pecting victims.
This proposition simply means
bankruptcy and ruin for the people
and utter destruction of the Govern
ment. A more Ubiquitous scheme
could not be suggested and it infers
reliance on credulity and ignorance
which is astounding. No set of rob-
bers ever before attempted to secure
law, guaranteeing them unrestricted
rights to plumber, with unlimited
Government protection. The only Sc
curity offered the Government is the
paid up capital stock. What is this
capital stock? 1t is simply nothing
but paper. Under the present nation
al banking system per cent. of actual
capital is required to conduct the
business, but under the new plan not
a dollar is required except the charter
fees.
Do you suppose paid up bank stock
is capital? There are railroads worth
So, 600 per mile bonded for $50, 900 per
mile. Business enterprises that are
absolutely worthless are incorporated
and stocked at millions of dollars.
Watered stock is familiar term but it
has got to be thinner than water. It's
as thin as air, nothing whatever but
gas. How easy it will be for a gang
of five buccaneers to organize a nation
al bank with million dollars capital
paid up" provided they can blk some
poor laborer out of enough money to
pay for their charter. 1t would be
fraud, would it? Well, let's see. How
much trouble will it be for this gang
of thieves TO trade million dollars of
bank stock for million dollars of min
ing stock and the new company will
be innocent purchasers.
No fraud about that SO far as the
law can see but you see it as plain as
day. Anybody can see it. A more
damnable scheme has never been de-
vised. Chicago Times.

Compliment Paid Judge Staples by Coun-
try Friend.
The Christiansburg Messenger says:
THAT some years ago, back in the
forties, when our well-known county
man, the Hon. Waller r. Staples, was
a young practitioner at this bar, he
had upon certain occasion a very
knotty case to defend, and made most
able defense and an eloquent argu
ment, and the jury, after being out
only short while, returned verdict
of not guilty. He, of course, felt high
ly elated, received congratulations on
all hands, and as he left the court
house, one of his country friends came
up and complimented him on the fine
speech he had made. The Judge, feel
ing tiattered, asked him what he
thought of it. The old fellow replied:
We'll, Waller, you just pintedly did
speak, tell you; just r'ared and charg-
ed, and charged arid r'ared until you
reminded me of a dog in meat house.
1t was the most sincere compliment the
judge had received, and he is proud of
it to this day, as the old fellow was a
particular admirer. The Judge is to-
day one of the most eminent men in
the Commonwealth. and has deserved
ly gained for himself national repu-
tation. He should be the United States
Senator from this State"

ROTHSCHILD'S PEDIGREE.-A story,
not quite new, but worthy of being re-
told, is given in a Paris paper. Some
time ago, at fashionable salon, the
Baron d'Aimerie was one of group to
whom he was imparting an account of
his pedigree. which he claimed was
derived from the Pharaohs of Egypt
Just then Baron de Rothschild APP
preached the group and one of its
members called out: Baron, come
and let me make you acquainted with
the Baron d'Aimerie. He comes OF
Pharaonic stock, and you ought to
know each other" Yes" said the
Baron, bowling gravely and addressing
d'Aimerie, Il believe our families had
some transactions in time past Yes. :"
rejoined d'Aimerie, I'VE have record
that your people. when leaving n
country, borrowed Il considerable
amount of jewelry of my people, for
which l should now like to be repaid,
with interest" II remember the trans
action" said Rothschild, but the ac
count was settled at due date. Your
fathers received check N the Banks

A LEGAL PUZZLER-Curious com
ments by a judge, even in the presence
of the prisoner, though extremely rare,
are not unprecedented. Mr.. Justice
Maule once addressed a phenomenon
of innocence in smock frock in the
following words: Prisoner at the bar,
your counsel thinks you innocent; the
counsel for the prosecution thinks yon
innocent; | think you innocent But
jury of your own countrymen, in the
exercise of such common sense as they
possess. which does not seem to be
much, have found you guilty. and ii
remains that shall pass upon you the
sentence of the law. That sentence is
that you be kept in Imprisonment for
| one day, and as that day was yester
day you may now go about your bust
ness"

For the SPECTATOR.
JACK FROST.

Jack came to Town last night
An artist with will,
And, meath the stars for tapers bright,
Wrought with a magic skill,
While others slept,
Orvigils kept,
And all was calm and still.
We know not how he looks,
Or how he works so well,
And whether he is learned in books
We cannot truly tell;
We only know
To him we owe
This mornings wondrous spell.
All! what a charm is thrown
On garden, field, and tree,
On roof and wall, and shrub and lawn!
Yea, every thing we see
Is, without cost,
Impaired with frost,
And decked for you and me.
Etched, too, are window panes,
Traced in fantastic way
With castles, citadels, and fanes,
So fairy-like, we say,
Nor Fancy can,
Nor taste in man,
Such scenic views display.
Such witchery we boast
At early dawn of day,
When softly comes white-f1ngered Fros1
In mantle boar and grey,
But soon, too soon,
The f1eeting boon
Evanishes away.
Crisp is the tonic air,
And Nature wakes queen,
When Jack his diamond dust so rare
Sows on the varied scene,
But you must rise,
And feast your eyes,
Before the sun is seen.
You cannot come too oft,
When Winters line is crossed,
But spare the poor mans little croft,
Whose labor may be lost,
And we will raise
High notes of praise
In honor of Jack Frost

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and baffied the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not imme-
diately fatal it is among the most
nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh
is heir to, and the records show very
few or no cases of radical cure of
chronic catarrh by any of the many
modes of treatment until the introduc-
ton of Ely's Cream Balm a few years
ago. The success of this preparation
has been most gratifying and surpris-
