TARRED AND FEATHERED.


Last Friday night Adjutant General
Tarsney of Colorado, was kidnapped
from the Alamo hotel at Colorado
Springs and taken to the country where
he was treated to an adornment of tar
and feathers and given warning to
leave the county and never return.
This brutal outrage was committed on
account of Mr. Tarsney being Popu-
list and sYmpathizer with the strik-
ing union miners of Cripple Greek. In
treating Nr. Tarsney to such an out
rage, and abetting the same by indif-
ference to the apprehension of the per-
pretrators, Colorado Springs offers an
insult to the Populist party and to
every unionized order of American
workmen and their sympathizers, as
the victim at the time was present at
the Springs as attorney of the miners
who are awaiting trial at that place as
a result of the great Cripple Greek
strike
Large rewards are, offered for the
capture of the culprits by the state and
Denver parties and the hope of every
honest-hearted person should be that
the offenders will be captured and
given the punishment which they justly
deserve.

CAPITAL Control of Labor.


Before African slavery was abolished,
the ''owner of the niger had to take care
of the slave in case of sickness. He also
had to provide food, shelter and clothing
He did it upon the same principle that the
owner of mule takes care of the mule. 1t
is done for the work that can be gotten out
of the animal.
In the later days, however. the bosses
who control labor-absolutely as southern
masters owned their ringers" not at
all concerned about the health of their so
called sshired men, In addition to work
ing for the 'sboss'' the hired man has to
look out for his own shelter and clothing.
In case of sickness the responsibility Of the
doctors services rests upon his shoulders.
In the case of the negro slave it rested
with the master, and when the life of
'1ikely $1,000 Niger was at stake the
master hustled around lively and got the
doctor.
This responsibility has all changed, as
We have stated. There is economy in it.
and Hazard, the shrewd Englishman,
struck keynote when he discussed the
question in the circular which he sent to
our American bankers away back in 1852.
La that circular he said:
Slavery is likely to be abolished by the
war power. and chattel slavery destroyed.
This, and my European friends are in
favor Of for slavery is but the owning of
labor and carries with it the care of the la
bOrer while the European plan, led on by
England, is capital control of labor by con-
trolling wages. This can be done by con-
trolling the money. The great debt that
capitalists viii see to it is made ont OF the
war, must be used as a measure to control
the volume of money To accomplish this
the bonds must be used as banking basis.
We are not waiting to get the secretary Of
the treasury to make this recommendation
10 congress. 1t win not do to allow the
greenbaeks, as it is called, to circulate as
money any length Of time for we cannot
control that
It did not take the Americans long to
scateh on to the idea. Mr.. Hazards plan
has been almost literally carried out. The
control Of the currency was given to na-
tional banks the very next year after the
circular was issued.
Instead Of owning labor, control labor!
Thus saith the great English banker.
But how IS this to be accomplished?
By simply controlling money.
And this money must be shank money. . !

JUST THINK OF 1T.

The man who stands aghast at the
wrong that would result to the owners
of coal mines if they were taken posses
sion of by the government and operated
by the people, for the general welfare,
had he lived in 1860 would have been
greatly agitated lest the property right
of the slave holder would be interfered
with if slavery was abolished. IF the
coal barons of today were capable of
reasoning and could calculate from
cause to effect, they would be advocates
of naturalization by peaceful and con
sentative methods, rather than by the
methods which their system invites.
Had the slaveholding interests united
on plan of gradual emancipation 40
years ago, instead of country devas-
tated by civil war with every industry
paralyzed for many years, the south
would have made surprisingly great
strides forward and have been today
half century ahead of where she is.
Now, a proposition from the mine
owners of today would advert a similar
occurrence which is sure to overtake
them sooner or later.
The citizens of the United States
are in the right mood to see that this
question is settled in favor of the peo-
pie and they viii not always permit an
organized band of heartless spectators
to control the most essential elements
of our existence The coal fields belong
to the people and when the people take
possession of them they viii also take
possession of the means of Transports
ton which at present are in close sym
pathy with the mine owners and other
allied monopolies.-C Chicago Express.

Hazard Circular.

Slavery is likely 10 be abolish-I
ed by the war power, and chattell
slavery be destroyed. This l and
my European friends are in favor
of. for slavery IS but the owning
of labor, and carries with 1t the
care of the laboFer. While our
plan is for capital to control la
Dor by controlling the wages.
This can be done by controlling
the money. The great debt Chat
capital VIII see to il IS made out
of this war; must be used as the
means TO control the volume of
money. To accomplish this, the
the money must be bonded, and
the bonds must be used as the
banking basis. We are now
waiting for the secretary of the
treasurv to make the recommen-
dations to congress. IL viii not
do to allow the greenbabks to
circulate as money any length OF
time, for we cannot control them
but we can control the bonds and
through them the bank issue.

az Interesting piscorery.

A discovery has just been made in the
catacombs Of Rome which promises to be
of singular Importance in the history of
Christian worship and IiturgioIogy. Pralat
Wilpert, SileSian areh@OIOgist, has come
upon cycle of four paintings of the very
earliest Of the Christian art belonging TO
the first half of the second century, one Of
which represents celebration Of the EH-
char1st The paintings were found in a
chapel of the ST. Priscilla cafacoulbs which
has been open TO inspection for at least a
hundred years, and yet this interesting
treasure has lain all that time concealed
and unsupported. 1t was hidden under a
crust Of stafacfite, so that no trace of eol0rs
and certainly none Of figures, was percep-
fiblP to the ordinary observer Pralat Will
pert, however, declared that he could dis
Germ signs OF col0TinP, and was allowed to
experiment upon 1t. He dissolved the stall
acfite crust BY chemical process. and was
rewarded by the revelation of the remark
able paintings, full description Of which
Is TO be published esfsninsteT Gazette.

Something to Sell.


If there is any one thing that is ealcu-
culated to make us tired more than any
thing else it is this senseless twaddIe about
having something to SELF Only few
days ago the writer heard a farmer make
the remark that if the people only had
something to sell they could get the money
/ for il. YeS, we replied, they can get money
for it, but how much? Cotton raisers can
get from to 4 cents less for their cotton
than it takes to raise it. Wheat growers
can obtain less for their wheat than it
takes to produce it. Labor can sell its
products at prices that make the producer
poor and the Spectator rich. Millions of
men and women cannot even sell their la
Dor at any price. But government bonds
can be sold at good premium. And why !?
The bond is not good to eat nor to wear.
There is no intrinsic value in it. Yet for
it the miser will part with his gold. For it
the usurer will give up his cash. Why,
we repeat, is this true? Because with
every bond goes the privilege of leYying
tribute on labor. Because it will gather in
the earnings of generations yet unborn.
For the men who have the gold, bonds are
issued that the purchasers may levy tribute
On labor.
How different is it when men propose to
wap their labor for bonds? Men, too,
who are out of employment and whose
families are suffering from the pangs of
hunger.
They propose to give something of real
value, their labor, for bonds, and don't ask
that the bonds shall bear interest or be a
burden on future generations. But no.
these men are cranks. True they have
something to seIl-their labor-but that
will not do. 1t takes gold, precious gold,
to buy bonds, and the bonds must bear in
terest-geld interest-so that the purehas-
ers can get their gold back and still have
the bonds with which to levy tribute on
labor. a great scheme this, and great
government that permits it. Great also is
gOldl You can't eat it or wear it, but it is
great because, because-because most of
the fools whom it is robbing, say it's great.
That is the only reason under the shining
sun.

THE CONTRoL OF RfONEY.

Whoever controls the money of a
country controls all labor and indus
try. The federal government has given
the control of the money into the
hands of corporations; therefore cor
porations control all labor and indus
try-yea, verify, they control all gov
eernment. When a government does
not intervene between the citizen who
pays his taxes, for equal justice and
equal benefits, but assists any power in
preventing his rights, it becomes an
alder and abetter of robbery.
It is a heinous crime, said Abraham
Lincoln, to make debt and contract
the money volume before that debt is
paid. Edmund Burke says the primary
interests and rights in regard to main
tanning public credit belong to the tax
payer, and not to the public creditor.
In the face of these luminous authori-
ties, the federal government has CON
tracted the money volume, tripled the
purchasing power of the dollar, and
tripled the burden of debt and taxa
DlOu. Ills ID
"F'unding is robbing the people on a
great sca1e,'' says Thomas Jefferson.
The government changed its non-in-
terest bearing bonds (greenbacks) into
interest bearing bonds; changed the
bonds payable in treasury notes TO
those payable in coin; changed those
payable in coin to bonds payable in
gold; demonetized silver; contracted
the currency and delivered the control
of the money over to the bOnd-holding
class. It will take all the wheat and
oat crop to pay the expenses of the
government one year, not to speak Of
state, county and city tax; all the cot
ton and tobacco crops, the output of
silver and gold from the mines, not to
speak of state, county and city tax.
Under these robberies, tyranny and OPP
preston, under these public lyings,
stealings and corruptions, it is simply
question of time when the average
American citizen will become a beg
carly slave.
The Peoples party is alive to the ext
gencies of the hour. 1t has gone be-
hind the curtain and seen what was
hid there. 1t has proposed remedies to
meet every public evil. Some may be
wrong, which will be amended by time,
thought and experience For these
things it is commendable, it is ahead.
Out of the present state of corruption
and tyranny we must come. We must
revolutionize- last resort against
robbery-but how?
Tear up, pull down, scatter and break
up all the implements made to enslave
the people, Cromwell, of England,
came to the rescue of the people, and
Charles head fell as forfeit. The
French people were groaning under
burdens too grievous to be borne, and
Louis's head and the head of Maria
Antoinette paid the forfeit.
If the American people submit to
such government as this, without re-
volution of some sort, they have passed
the stage of political redemption. Of
flee holders and office seekers must
have clean party record, but the mere
voter is free. Let him be free to act
Let him vote against every whining ny
pocrite who does not propose to have
new deal, and throw all the old tim
Der and luggage overheard.

A Home ODiuion.

BeIoit ana the county OF Mitchell is the
home of a. 81. Ellis, the Republican candi-
date for congress. Here MIR. Ellis is per-
sonalIy known. He will lose his county
with at least HI majority of 800 votes against
him in the election in November. Mr..
Ellis is by no means popular man. He is
quite sure that he is in possession of all
the knowledge and brains worth having
and that every body but Ellis must be
fools. To disagree with Ellis is to be rated
by him as a know-nothing. Self impor-
lance ruins riot in his whole nature. He
cannot sympathize with the common
masses. This would be repulsive to his
nature and education. He courts the favor
of the rich and the corporation powers.
He is gold standard advocate because the
bankers are; he is protectionist because
this makes monopoly possible; lie would
be in his highest elements in a caucus of
millionaires; the word of the rich is his
gospel. No man loves flattery more than
Ellis; he has been successful as an attOr-
ney and is enjoying large practice; he is
noted for his bulldoZing tactics and unseru-
pulouS methods to gain his points. When
he chucks a nickel into the slot it is with
the hope that it will turn out dime for
Ellis. AS a representative of western ideas
he would be complete failure. 1t would
be burlesque on the district to send
man like Ellis to congress. 1t would be
the same as to say to eastern plutocrats we
are with your gold doctrine and your Nc
Kinley protection, that Kansas does not
want the free and unlimited coinage Of sill |
yer, that Kansas is opposed to an income |
e. fI,o{ \
Understanding bonds, that Kansas wants |
a dear and ever appreciated dollar, that
Kansas wants the silver mines of the west
entirely closed down, that the credit syS-
tenn and the gold basis should not be re-
formed, that monopoly is right and low |
prices of farm products Is blessing. Ellis |
is fairly good man in club as the secu- |
lar world sets the qualities of goodness; he |
views political principles from a pluto
cratic standpoint. He sees but good in the |
operations of Wall street and the manipu- |
latiOn by that power, hence he is the money
loaners idol. The eurbstone broker. the |
banker and Insurer are loud shOuters for
Ellis, He is the choice of the railroad cor
porationS. Those who are cheering for |
Ellis are those who toll not, neither do |
they spin, but Solomon in all his glory was |
never clothed like one of these Ellis cheer
ers. If this district desires to be repre-
sented by moss back gold bug and cor
pOration attorney who has hard and ex-
acting heart in his bosom, then Ellis should |
be elected to congress. He would make a
good ally for John Sherman. Ellis will
fail to receive his full party vote in this
county and will lack several thousand
votes in the district to elect him. Kansas
is not electing John Sherman recruits to
eOngFess.-Beloit Call.
