Under our system of capital con-

one of the two things, become slaves
to the money kings, or nationalize the
leading industries cf the people.
There Is no middle ground. There is
no alternative, you are slaves or free
men Of your choice, for you have the
power to choose between serving con.
centrated capital or compelling it to
serve the common good. Patriots.

Slavery is likely to be abolished by
the war power ana chattel slavery de-
stroyec. This 1. and my European
friends are in favor of, for slavery is
but the owning of labor and carries with
1t the care of the laborer. while the
European plan. led on by England, is
capital control of labor, by controlling
wages. This can be done by control
ling the money. The great debt that
capitalists will see to it is made out of
the war. must be used as q measure to
control the volume of money. To ac-
cOmplish this. the bonds must be used
as banking basis. We are now wait
ing to get the Secretary of the Treas
ury to make this recommendation to
Congress. 1t will not do to allow the
"greenback," as it is called, to circu-
late as money any length of time, for
we cannot control them. But We can
control the bonds and through them
the bank issue.

THE BUELL. CIRCULAR.

ISSUED by the American Bankers AS

broadway. New York City
DEAR SIR: 1t is advisable to do all
in your power to sustain such daily and
weekly newspapers, especially the ag-
ricultural and religious l.ress, as will
oppose the issuing of greenback paper
money, and that you also Withhold pat
ronage or favors from all who will not
oppose the government issue OF money.
Let the government issue the coin and
the banks issue the paper money of the
country, for then we can better protect
each other. To repeal the law Great
ing national banks or to restore to cir
culation the government issue of money
will be to provide the people with mon-
ey and will, therefore. seriously affect
your individual profits As bankers and
lenders. See your member of congress
at once and engage him to support our
interest that we may control legisla-
tiOn.

Hon. VIM. J. Stone, Missouri gov
ernor, made a Democratic speech at
Carthage, Mo-, last Saturday. He
came out boldly for free silver and
referred to the remarkable CONVEX
siOns of Carlisle and Mills to the cause
Of the money power. He called them
miraculous conversions. The gov
ernor failed to mention the fact that
the Democratic senate and the Demo
cratic house and therefore the Demo
cratic party were also miraculousIy

A FaN Statement.

a certain mechanic purchased q
home, paying $1,000 down and secnr-
ing the unpaid balance of $1,000 by
mortgage. At the time (this was in
1887 he received 81 per day Liqui-
datlon of the debt, according to terms
of agreement, was gradual and easy,
he thought, the annual payment being
800. The first year he pulled
through all right. The next year
due to republican prosperity, no. doubt
his wages were reduced % cents
per day. That year he only paid the
interest on the debt, which has been
the result during each succeeding
year. In 1S92-that booming repub
lican year-he became the beneficiary
of another % cent cut in wages. while
this year he is working for s1.23 per
day. He now fears that he will lose
his home and the $l.10O he has paid
on 1t. But let us see how much that
home will cost him at a calculation
based on days labor When he
bought that home he paid down. prac
tic:lly, 500 days work, and agreed to
pay that much more. Since then he
has paid fifty days more, leaving
5000 unpaid. If he liquidates the
balance with days labor ut sl.25 per
day, it will require the work of 723
days: 275 more than he expected it
would take when he became 4 mort
gagged home owner. In this calcula-
ton no account has been made Of the
intercst-we don't notice such little
things. But what about the dollars
he handlad when he made the pur-
chase? He received two of them for
each davs labor. They we're cheaper
dollars than the ones he now earls at
$l.25 per day. At this time, if at no
other, he is in position to realize the
advantage of cheap dollars, so-called.
If he were now able to procure 900
cheap dollars, if he could earn that
sum at as high labor figure as he
succeeded in doing in lSS7-SS, he
would then be enabled to raise the
mortgage from off his head But he
has long clamored for ''honest dollars
he bitterly opposed cheap dollars
and now he fully realizes that an
''honest dollar means the parting
with much labor in the way of cx-
change for it and that it requires a
long time to make the exchange; also,
that ''honest dollars do not render
the way Garner a rapid wealth getter,
but on the contrary means that he
must be content with enjoying life
beneath Il roof owned by men whose
dollars do not cost so much as his
He is about ready to form new com
pact with liberty and from this time
forward will never turn up his nose
and scowl when he hears some one
speak in favor of cheap dollars

Democratic Politicians Mlsrepresen..

Democratic speakers are unfairly
criticising the Populists in congress.
They state that if the bills offered
by the Populists had become laws
the country would have been bank
rupt.
That is about rs fair as a Demo
cratic speaker eve: gets. They can
not be honest in anything.
The bills introduced by the Popu-
lists in congress were nearly all en-
ergency bills.
Tue tendency of ali of them WAS to
increase tie circulation and drive
panic from the land
If one or two of them had become
laws there would have been no need
for cnactiug the others
If one or two of them had been
passed the others would have been
dropped or never offered.
There was 4 panic in the land. a
direct result of Il lack Of currency
among the people. That condition
exists to-day and will continue to
exist until the circulation is increas-
ed.
Tie Populst members of congress
were striving to increase the currency
and thus relieve the people.
They offered several bills for that
purpose. They attempted to ac-
complish that object in different ways
in order to meet the views of other
members.
Onc or two of these bills enacted
Into law would have given labor en-
plOyment and started the the country
on the road to postcrity. TLey were
all aimed ut the panic, One would
have killed it. so the other would
have been withdrawn.-Mer

hands of receivers. Under our present
currency system not one dollar was lost to

by delay in turning notes into coin.
When nOte-holder heard that national
bank had failed ne did not feel any con-
Germ as to whether or not he held notes On
that particular bank. The Government Of
the United States was responsible for the
redemption in coin of every kind of cur
rency he could possibly get hold of
Whether gold certificates. silver certif-
Gates, green backs OF treasury notes the
security was the same. During fourteen
years there had been no delay in convert
ing genuine bank bill into coin. If the
administration succeeds in substituting
bank credit for Government credit for the
circulating notes OF the United States the
rebuke its free-trade policy received last
November will be as breeze to a hurri-
cane com pared TO the condemnation which
will follow the first failure Of bank to
redeem on demand its circulating notes.
The new issue will be taken with misglv-
ings and converted into coin in all cases
where the paper representative of money

STATE EXPENDITURES.

The report of State Controller Colgan
estimates the amount of State expendi-
lures for the two years ending June 80,
1897. at 81, 436,9S4. To this amount are
added the sums expended for new build
ings and repairs, which will bring the ex-
penditures for the two years to very
nearly or quite the total of $16.000,000
Mr.. Colgan has the grace to say that the
estimated expenditure Is out of all proper
ton to the population of the State. Cali
fornia is now confronted with the natural
consequences of its early prodigality. The
government is conducted on the 40 scale
OF expenditures. A lofty disregard OF ex-
pense is its main feature. Salaries are
high and sinecures abound. People who
find IL hard work to earn a living drift
easily into the care of the State. More
han $2,500.000 has been expended since
1854 in providing for "aged persons in in-
digent circumstances" This is apart from
the heavy burdens for like causes borne
by counties and cities. The liberal pro-
vision made for the poor is undoubtedly
an inducement to lmprovidence. There is
certain proportion Of people in all COM
munities who will spend all they can earn
if certainty is held out TO them that If
worst comes to worst their futures will be
provided for. The number who drift into
paupersm in this degrading sense of Sc
curity is large. The natural solution Of
this problem is either State or local sys-
TEN of public works by which all but the
i'll or deerepit may earn a livelihood. A
reduction of taxation, both State and
municipal, is an actual necessity.
