JOURNAL, Contraction of the Currency"
the reader will learn the nature and
amount of those bonds, and also that
they became a part of the circulating
money of the country, all through the
issue and reissue of this $3.50, 900, 900
greenbacks. And Notwithstanding the
great waste of war this issue of green
backs created the most prosperous era of
industry this country ever knew. We
have not space to narrate here how this
bountiful supply of money was taken
advantage of after the war closed to sad
die debt on the country which has
sucked up its substance as a spider
extracts the blood of fly that is entail
gled in its net, or the leech draws the
blood from the veins of the victim to
which it attaches itself.
Let it suffice for our present purpose
that we consider an army of road
builders in place of an army of
soldiers, the latter laying waste property
and slaughtering men for a principle.
The former building up and adding to
the permanent wealth of the country.
The two modes of expenditure differ in
their first and most direct purpose, but
the collateral results flowing from them
are inevitably the same. Labor is en1-
ployed by the increased volume of money
to its full capacity i'll the production
of more wealth, which is distributed
among the workers.
There would be this difference in the
two issues. The original, or war issue
was reissued many times through the
funding into bonds process. The issue
proposed by Coxey's bill is fixed at $780,
900, ooo which goes directly into the
circulation of the country and remains
there as the remnant not destroyed, of
the original issue, assumed to be $780,
900, 900, compose a part-and a very
important part-of the circulation or
money of the country.
When examined and considered by the
light of reason it will be seen that there
is nothing new, wild, visionary or I'M
practicable about CoXey's bill for the
immediate relief of the unemployed.
The plan was adopted when the govern
ment discovered no other financial plan
was capable of meeting the demands OF
the great emergency; and that it would
meet and overcome the present emer-
gency. the light of history and actual
experience leaves not peg on which tc
hang doubt.
But we do not approve of the plan, al
least without supplementary law, and
for the reason that better system can
be suggested with more permanent
and better, if not SO immediate, results
which will be considered in a future
article in connection with Coxey's second
or issue of non interest bond bill

The Last Hope of the Siamese Twin
Parties.

Every subterfuge seems to have failed
the two old twin parties and they are
making their last desperate effort to use
the tariff in the crisis just before them.
The Wilson bill, which for iniquity-if
the leading plutocrat papers of the repub-
lican party were to be believed-the devil
never devised anything so diabolica1, has
been entirely made over by the Senate,
and the nearer it approaches the McKin-
leyl tariff, the louder the republican
papers complain. The people have lost
all interest in the political humbug and
Senators are killing time pretending to
debate the measure in long speeches.
The democrats are desperate, and grow
ing daily more so, and loudly declare
that something i'll the shape oftariff must
be passed, which they propose telling
their constituents is tariff REFORM" and
that they have fulfilled the promises
made in their platform. The object with
both parties is to go before the people
next fall, the one party to berate and
abuse the mutilated carcass of the Wilson
bill, and the other to defend the REM
nants of that bill which a compromise
committee of both Houses may fix up.
This is the forlorn hope of these two
old trick parties. We don't believe they
can fool the people, or persuade them to
listen to their lying stump speeches. The
present congress has made the most dis
graceful record, taking into consideration
existing conditions, of any congress since
the foundation of the government The
speaker and members who took charge of
bills tried every effort they could think of
to get quorum of members present to
enable them to transact business. and
hnally were driven to count quorum-a
very proper thing to do, but which they
falrly went crazy abusing when Speaker
Reed was driven to it by sheer necessity.
They not only were compelled to count
quorum but to revive an old law for
docking the pay of members for the DAYS
they were absent. Some of them were
only present five days i'll month, but
swore they were absent about that manv
only. Such men do not gag on perjury.
A large number of the members are no
better than common buns and saloon
patrons.
1t is no wonder that the people are
growing sick and disguised with the old
parties whose political corruption has
dragged them so low that they furnish
such material for law makers. This
almost entire corrupt gang will have to
be replaced by decent, business men
before single reform demanded by the
people can be accomplished, and neither
of the old parties will ever furnish such
men for congress. We believe that next
falls elections will be such turning over
and turning out of congress as never
before has been witnessed. The people
certainly cannot endure such conditions
as they are now suffering and permit such
a gang of whiskey and beer drinkers and
bride takers as constitute large per cent
of the present congress.

- Pm So Tired"

Is common exclamation at this season.
There is a certain bracing effect in cold
ar which is lost when the weather grows
warmer; and when Nature is renewing
her youth, her admirers feel dull, sluggish
tired. This condition is owing mainly to
the impure condition of the blood. and its
failure to supply healthy tissue TO the
various organs of the body. 1t is remark
able how susceptible the system is to the
help to be derived from good medicine
at this season. Possessing lust those

ASSOCIATION. !

ASSOCIATION.
DENVER, COL, April rs, 1894.
Believing the present an suspicious time
to accomplish something substantial for
silver, thereby restoring prosperity and
contentment among the people, conf
dence in our rulers and institutions, and
comforting untold blessings on the human
race, a meeting is hereby called to assem-
day of May, proxiino, composed of Rep
resentatives from the United States, South
and Central America and Old Mexico,
aud all the States thereof, to memorabilia
the Congress of the United States to
restore silver to its ancient right at ratio
not to exceed IS to 1.
At the bidding of power that has
blotted out civilization in all ages, the
law-making and executive branches of
the government have stricken down one
half of the metal money, and debased
and partially denlonetized the paper
currency, compelled the people of the
United States to pay unnecessarily in the
past twenty five years $40, 600, 100000 in
interest, principal and discount and by
vicious laws have burdened the nation
with real estate mortgage debt of S2o,-
900, ooo, 900 and other debts aggregating
as much more, and now seek to reduce
the country to gold basis. and expect
the people to pay SAC, ooo, 600, 900 of debt
with $500, DOC, 900 in gold, to pay $50 of
debt with 81 i'll money; reducing the price
of farm products 6o per cent, and taking
from the debtors the power to pay their
debts.
The census says there are S., 900, ooo,-
900 of property i'll the United States. The
gold oligarclly has deprecated its value
one-half, rendering the nation inso1vent
for 81, 500, 600, 900; 20, 900 people already
own three-fourths of the property of
the nation; 10000, 900 people are
involuntarily idle or unproftably EN-
ployed. The property of the nation is
rapidly being confscated; fields, factories,
and mines are deserted; every industry is
stricken as with plague; strong men,
refined women, and innocent babes are
starving i'll land of plenty; our rulers
are rioting in luxurious living and sat
urnalia; frenzied with their successes in
the pest, they are inventirg new schemes
of robbery and plumber.
When Greece, Rome, Egypt, and the
Netherlands went down about per cent
of the people owned practically all the
wealth. Are we not fast Fastening to the
same end? Is there not patriotism,
manhood and womanhood enough among
the people to call halt upon our rulers.
Let the brain, Drawn and sinew meet at
the Capitol of the nation. Let petitions
be circulated in every precinct ofthe land
and forwarded to the convention, until
the voice of 40, DOC, 900 of the people shall
resound in the ears of Congress, that we
may ascertain whether this is i'll fact a
government of the people Our demands
should be respectful, but firm. No writ
ten credentials will be required, and
anyone favoring the objects of the asso
citation or the call will be recognized as &
delegate.
This is great and patriotic task. Il
we but seek divine aid and guidance, oul
efforts will be crowned with success
By order of the executive committee.

ONCE AGAIN
Another Fire oh the Worlds
Fair Grounds.
This Time Agricultural Build
ing is Ruined.
BREAKS OUT In DOME
Which Falls Crashing to the
Ground.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24-Fire was discovered
in the dome of the Agricultural building
at the Worlds fair grounds this morning.
The flames soon spread to all parts of the
roof Al special alarm called engines
from Hyde Park and Woodlawn. AM
other alarm called other engines and
determined fight against the progress ot
destruction was begun. Running UP the
outside of the pillars, the flames gained
Roadway in the roof and spread rapidly
towards the dome in the center
Once having a start In the lofty arch,
its destruction was a matter Of short
order. Driven by brisk wind, sparks
from the burning dome were carried to-
wards adjoining buildings and for time
the hremen had before them the pros
pect Of an extended cOnhagratiCn.
The dremen were well distributed,
however, and while several companies
were working vigorously in an attempt
TO stay the fire In the Agricultural build
ing, others were detailed to adjoining
structures and volumes of water were di-
rected towards exposed and endangered
parts. a hour after the general alarm
was sounded the firemen had accomplish
ed all that was possible and the blaze
was practically eXtinguished.
Before the hremen had succeeded in
their work. however, the building had
been ruined. AS the tire spread through
the dry timbers of the roof, burning en-
bers soon began dropping to the door
and the supports gradually weakened.
at last gave way, carrying with them con-
nected parts Of the roof and the dome
pitched ia ruins to the floor Its fall
practically put an end to the hremens
work
Small patches of fame were still WISH
bic around the ragged edges of the roof,
but floods Of water directed against them
soon drowned out all danger Of spread
of the fire. The destruction of the dome
left the already partially ruined building
even more unsighty, and it now bears
little resemblance to the ornate structure
surmounted by the statue of Diana.
which formed feature of the court of
honor
But one theory was advanced at the
grounds regarding the origin of the fire.
Everyone agreed that an incendiary was
again responsible for the destruction.
The repeated attempts to burn the fair
buildings have been ascribed to this
cause, and the conclusion was promptly
reached that today's ruin could Ne safely
attributed to the same cause.
The gilded statue Of Diana was re-
moved about six weeks ago and 50 esq 4
capped destruction ia today's blaze.
