True, men will not hoard money
when there is something better
than money.
After all, if it's a want of conf.
dence, what will give confidence?
The same thing that gave the
Dutchman confidence when a man
who owed him money had the
money. "Then, said the Dutch
man, ;'if you has the money I don't
want it, but if you had not had
the money was obliged to have
it," The ability of the debtor to
pay oegets confidence, and moth
ing else will.
Now, if congress will repeal the
ten per cent tax on state banks,
and give US forty four money
centers instead of one, free coinage
of gold and silver with parity of
the metals, until our circulation
reaches at least fifty dollars per
capita; tax industries as little as
possible; protect our manufactures
so as not to build up monopolies
tax the people as little as possible ;
issue no more bonds, for non
interest bearing debt is easier
paid than an interest bearing debt !;
last but not least stop the gambling
hells of Wall street, all dealings
in futures and speculations in
stocks, produce, etc.-then and
not till then will money flow in
its legitimate channel. Then debts
will be paid, manufactures be
started, LABOR employed, merchants
made busy, and farmers find a
healthy market for ali their pro-
ducts.

no more to be allowed to dictate
and shape the financial policy of
this country than Tammany of
New York ought to be allowed to
dictate who will be president of
this country. 49,

may be crank, but many an idle
man and debt-ridden fellow is for
Bland, and for his measure,
Poor Wilson! If he can live
through the attacks on his tariff
bill. the typhoid fever now burn
ing and debllitating his system
will not hurt him I'd rather be
down in Mexico with typhoid fever
than be the father of a great
measure like his tariff bill, and
watch it's fate in the hands of the
gang at Washington.

less jackasses that ever assembled
since God made the world, I think
for pure, downright cussedness,
he present gang in congress,
headed by Hill in the senate, and
tailed by "no quorum" in the
house, beats them. all.
That there are true men in both
houses of congress, no man will
deny. But in their patriotic souls
they must have a contempt i'm
measurable for those who black
legislation and inject into their
motives and measures their per-
sonal spite and political spleens. 1t
is ignorance, egotism and infamy
combined, and whom such . team
is combined we find the devil in
about as bad shape as humanity
ever saw him.
Washington City is the home Of
his Satanic Majesty. Of course be

United States, but even in Wash
ington, where the devil is SO we'll
known, and where he knows the
people so we'll, no doubt his
majesty is looking on the scenes
at the capital with wondering in
terest and constant surprise, and
with constant pleasure as an ap-
proving father on his obedient
children.
