The Money Question.

The money power dominates all gov.
ernments. 1t Expresses and claims the
right to Cypress all peoples; and there is
no limit to its aggressions or its greedy
demands The money power does moi
seize the man in person. 1t pirates loudly
of personal liberty. But it seizes all the
means of life and the agencies Of com
merce, and then bids men to live or die
as best they can. 1t has established q
slavery less merciful than chattel slavery
comprehending all labor regardless o.
sex, race, or color; condenning all tc
death or permitting life on the hardest
possible terms This is the money power
and the dangers in which it involves the
peoples of the world constitute the im
portance of the money question in civ
ilized society.-HoN. JOHN DAVIES, M
c., in The 4rena.

The British Conspiracy.

Extract from letter written by mem
Der of the House of Commons, England,
to all American and published i'll the
Manufacturer" June 2, 1898:
'"The one great, supreme aim of the
money classes and the London press is to
restrict the supply of money so as to en-
rich the owners of it. at the expense OF
the raisers of produce and the owners OF
land and other real property. We hope
that the sharp intelligence of your people,
i'll the main a nation of producers and
land owners, will see through the cruel
game of the moneyed classes and Illustrate
it. The miseries of the agriculturalists
here ssare Undesirable but they do not
clearly see why it is that their prices are
forced down to their ruin, so that it is
difficult to get them to move. The wits
of the American farmers are sharper.
hope our salvation will come from yom "
The wits of the American farmers
have been the reverse of sharp, judging
from their votes for the gold bugs, who
have picked their pockets since 1873 by
the trick of demonetizing silver, which
has taken from them nearly thousand
million of dollars annually.

One rlore View of the License
Question.

A correspondent to the Platts6nrg Re
publican has originated the following
novel scheme for settling the license
question, on which he should at once
apply for patent and for the discovery of
which he deserves to be pensioned by the
government
You are all wrong gentlemen on the
license question, one says high license,
another says low license, another no
license. Now this is putting the cart be-
fore the horse. believe in system of
graded license. Not license to sell but
license to drink. If your applicant is a
straight-laced moralist, who only takes a
nip now and then on the sly, for mechan-
ical purposes, let him pay SIS year for a
license. Make moderate drinkers fee
$50. Let hard drinker pay $50. And
for common drunkard an annual license
fee of at least 500 should be exacted.
Then put no restriction on the manufac-
ture or sale of liquor not even tax, and
make the penalty for drinking without a
license imprisonment and hard labor for
life. Every licensee should be stamped
on some prominent place-his back or
front, so that his right to drink may be
plainly apparent.

Truth About COxey.

There are so many falsehoods being
printed about the "Coxey movement
here at the National Capital that few
facts about the matter may be of use. We
will speak of recent events, since they are
being viciously distorted. Mr.. Coxey did
not desert his men, as has been charged
neither is he responsible for tenth part
of the so-called industrials who have
come here from time to time. He went
away making speeches and soliciting pro-
visions for his camp. Mr.. Brown took
with him nearly all the men who came
from Massilon with the commonweal. OF
the 100 more or less who remained only
SIX or eight came with Mr.. Coxey. These
men were arrested and sent to the Mary
land Bridewell to the number of eighty
eight. 1t was most brutal and high
handed outrage. AS soon as Mr.. Coxey
learned of it he came to Washington,
engaged good counsel and took out a writ
of habeas corpus for the entire lot. AS
soon as these proceedings were begun
Gov. Brown, of Maryland, made inquiries
in regard to the matter and became COIL
WINGED that the State had made a grave
mistake. He Immediately sent for Mr.. 7.
H. Ralston, the attorney for Mr.. Coxey.
We were present at the interview and was
convinced from the first ofthe Governors
anxiety to get out of the difficulty. After
long discussion and many suggestions
an agreement was finally reached. The
Governor wanted the whole matter drop-
ped, but Mr.. Ralston declared it was his
purpose to have the courts declare wheth
er poverty was crime i'll MARYLAND"
and 'if Lightweight men could be tried,
convicted, and sentenced inside of one
hours time" 1t was agreed that all of
the eighty eight men, excepting Mckee
and Jones, who had refused to be par
doned, should be pardoned without preiu
dice, and that the Governor would fur
nish transportation to their homes or as
near it as possible. For doing this Mr..
Ralston agreed to modify the writ so as to
include only the two men named above.
Mr.. Brown calls every tramp Coxeyite,
ard in his interview declares there are
over 200 in the Bridewell The facts are
however, that not more than six of Mr.,
CoXey's original men were imprisoned.
Mr.. Ralston went to Marlboro, where
the writs were returnable on Monday, and
found that since his interview the Cover
nor had become frightened, and RENTED
the sentences of the entire lightweight.
and forced them out of the Bridlewell.
BY this act he has acknowledged the lille
gality of the arrest, and disclosed the
infamous plot by which he sought to make
poverty crime i'll Maryland. Suits for
false Imprisonment will be at once COM
menced, and the perpetrators of this out
rage will be brought to justice if possible
In any event Mr.. CoXey cannot be truth
fully charged with deserving his men or
neglecting his duties toward them. All
indications point to general movement
"on to Washington" in the spring, and
we expect to see half million or more
here next summer clamoring for Just and
tar Observation-Disclosures WatehMaR.

The Prospect Before Young rlen.

The prospect which faces the young
men of this country is the most dismal
and unpromising in its history. The
chances for building up an independent
business for self respecting young men
has disappeared from our economic sys,
tenn. Nothing better than the life of an
employee and hireling of some greater or
smaller corporation is before them, with
the loss of independence, and hundreds
scrambling and crowding for the same
place, with little hope of escaping from
this condition of semi-slavery. The best
before them is the chance of one in a
hundred reaching the position of an
under boss, watched with jealous eye
by those above him and hated by those
under him. The great moneyed corpora
tons ruling the land are destroying indi-
vidual business and personal indepen-
dence, and fast reducing our best and
brightest young men to condition that
properly characterised is wage servitude.
This condition crystalizes year after year,
and is becoming the normal condition of
the industrial class in every line of EN-
ployment To become a daily wage
Garner at the discretion of master as to
what that wage shall be, is the hopeless
prospect of hundreds of thousands of the
brightest young men i'll the country
to-day.
And that this is true is their own fault
They are literally fooling away their time,
never inquiring of the fate before them,
its cause or how it shall be avoided. The
young men of this generation have the
power in their own hands and can elect
whether they shall be virtual slaves or
free men when they have reached the age
Of middle manhood If they suffer them
selves to be fooled as the men of the last
thirty years have, that the smallest share
of the comforts of this life is surely theirs,
goes without question, bereft of business
independence and the power of self
assertion.

A Preachers Reason.

The Rev. J. D. Botkin, a Methodist
minister of Kansas, gives the following
reasons for casting his lot with the Pop
ulist party:
He who thinks politically outside GER
tain old musty mould is an anarchist or
disturber who is worthy of ostracism and
death.
In my Judgment one of the first duties
of Kansas citizens is to crush out this
spirit of intolerance.
There is but one thing for me to do,
and that is to take the stump and preach
to the multitudes the gospel of reform, of
humanity, of God.
We are confronted by a condition that
is appalling. The prices of farm products
do not pay the costs of producing, while
labor is unemployed and millions of our
citizens beg and starve in the midst of
plenty. These conditions have been pro-
duced by combination of causes
First-We have been protected to death.
Second-We have given up too much
public domain to corporate and alien
ownership.
Third-We have suffered all public
utilities to be owned and operated by cor
porations in their own interest, and
those corporations have Systematically
robbed the people to fill their own Golfers.
Fourth-We have granted too many
franchises to powerful combines of capital.
Instance the sugar trust and the whiskey
trust, in whose interest the present con-
gress has just legislated millions of dollars
out of the peoples pockets,
Fifth-Under the sanction and protec-
ton of the government the powerful
liquor traffic flches from the people
annually 81, $50, 600, 900, or $40 per capita.
Sixth-By a series of most dannable
| legislative enactnents on record, begin
ming more than 20 years ago. our national
congress has stealthily proceeded to en-
throne gold, contract the currency and
place the entire monetary system of the
country in the hands of few men in
whom greed is the only motive and per-
sonal interest the only care.
Under this awful system "the rich are
growing richer and the poor are growing
poorer" and 10000 of the people own
more than half the wealth of the nation"
The reformers of this country who see
their conditions and their cause are
unfortunately divided. They must get
together. For IS years have tarried in
a party that has larger proportion OF
Christian men than any other party in the
country. But it seems that large numbers
of church voters are determined to close
their eyes to the facts of history and to
present conditions and continue voting
for the old order of things under which
this country is and has been for years on
the down grade.
I am aware that the Peoples party,
with which l shall henceforth act, con-
tains large number of the best church
people and multitudes of equally as good
citizens.
1t is the party of the great common
people, of the vast hosts of laboring men
and producers. 1t proposes the enthrone
ment of those principles and policies Of
government i'll which have believed for
years and which in my Judgment are
essential to the perpetuity ofthis republic

The republican party after V

The republican party after years
of trial was at two successiv,
general elections overwhelmingly
repudiated. Why bring it back t.
do what it always steadily refused
to do, and what it could not do i
it wanted, owing to it's fatal Ell
vironments? The democrat party
was placed in power to repair the
defects and after fair trial has
failed in every respect. 1t was
given all it asked and more with
such a backing as no party ever
had before, and yet it has not dared
to move out of its tracks.

If we were to hire William OF
Germany to run the government OF
the United States we believe he
would gladly undertake the job fol
one half what it costs under present
management, and we believe he
would run it honestly and at a
great saving to the people. He
would not permit trusts, corpora
tions and other swindlers to tramp
down the people as they are per
mitted and encouraged to do under
the Old Democrat Republican party
The Emperor would have more re-
gard for the welfare of the people

ENGAGED TO A PRINCE.
Hiss Florence Pullman to Marry a
Scion of Austria,

The engagement is announced of
Miss Florence Pullman, a daughter
of George M. Pullman, to the
Prince of Isenburg Birstein, the
eldest son of the Prince Charles of
Isen-Birstein and the Arch Duchess
Marie Louis, of Austria and a
cousin of the Emperor of Austria.
Miss Pullman's father only con-
sented to his daughters engage
ment to the Prince on condition
that her children shall possess the
full rights of succession to the title,
dignities and hereditary privileges
of the House of Isenburg- Birnstein.
According to the Austrian law,
however, the magnates of the house
of Isenberg Birnstein must, by
formal document, recognize the
equality of Mr.. Pullman's grand
children with their own descen-
dants. If Miss Pullman could OBJ
tain the title of princess from some
foreign court this difficulty would
be overcome.
Such announcements as the above
have become quite common. And
for the purpose of lowering class
of foreign rakes and roues we are
maintaining system of laws which
rob our best people in order to
create millionaires that their
daughters may dover the sons of
an impecuniOus aristocracy whose
taking off would be a blessing to
the human race.
This Pullman who has starved
his workmen wants his ill-gotten
gains to purchase titles that will
descend to coming generations The
dream of these milliOnaires whOhav
sprung up in this country like
poisonous toad-stools in night is
an empire in America rivaling I'M
perial Rome with its class of titled
mobiles and their labor slaves. That
this is the dream and ambition of
these people can no longer be de-
MED. And the old political parties
Especially the republican party
are being worked to this end for
all they are worth. 1t is full time
the American people were arousing
from their lethargy.

The question of railroads is rapid

The question of railroads is rapid
ly narrowing down to government,
ownership or control. The govern
ment cannot control without owning
the roads. The roads are now
defying the anti-lottery law of con-
gress by carrying the swindlers'
tickets by express, and until the
government owns theroads absolute
ly, they will defy any law, as com
pletely as the whiskey power defies
all license law restrictions.

The little game of 'gold-trust" last
year in the frantic cry for the repeal OF
the Sherman law, was to make silver buy
less and gold more, to cheaper the price
of India wheat and cotton so that this
country on single gold basis must sell
these products below the cost of produc-
ton. And this has all been verified since
the repeal of that law. How loug will

The Voice " Tariff commisson. ~

The New York Voices crotchet
on a "tariff commission is rudely
run into by a correspondent who
points out the many objections to
the scheme. The editor of the
Voice comes out at the small end of
the horn with this explanation
"Let Congress enact the law that
the tariff on certain lines of indus
try shall equal the difference in the
labor cost of production here and
abroad, and tariff commission could
be empowered to ascertain the diff
ference and apply the law to each
industry"
We should suppose that any one
with sense enough to edit a paper
would see the folly of such a
scheme. The editor of the Voice at
last seems to see it, and beats off on
the following tack:
"Every country of any magnitude
finds it necessary to resort to bu-
reaus and commissions to admin
lister the laws. 1t is the approved
method of all civilized nations"
What is this tariff bureau to do
when it has found out the cost of
manufacturing cloth or anything
else in Europe, Asia or Africa {?
Assess that difference ON the goods.
And then what Order the man
ufacturer to pay the difference over
to his employees in wages (?) Such
a commission leads up to this as a
logical result. Was ever more
silly scheme concocted, than this
Voice tariff commission -

The best answer to the question,
Why wasn't the tariff bill passed
soOner' is, that the sugar trust
might import more free sugar and
the whiskey trust make more
whiskey before the new rate of
81. 10 a gallon went into effect.
