The Northern Pacific Injunction.

40p 1V1SnoGU b bOAnO Al IuuOV4Vus
When Jefferson predicted that our ju-
dicial system would finally destroy our
liberties, he uttered prophecy which
the close Of the nineteenth century is full
filing to the letter. Within the past
two years the courts have been used
against the liberty Of the people with
greater force than the plutocrstio press
or the plutocrsts' armies ever have been.
Within the short space Of few months
these courts have moved swiftly from
the point Of Femonstrance against the
act Of employees quitting the service Of
corporation while the trip or work imme-
diately in hand was but partially finished,
to the point whore they automatically
order man living 1000 miles from the
scene OF Q threatened strike to desist
from even expressing an opinion to his
fellow lsborers.
This is practically what occurred on
the Northern Pacific. When the COM
psny was getting ready to reduce wages
it was also preparing its injunctions. It
covered the ground thoroughly. Not
only were it's employees eDjoined from
striking or speaking to any man who
might take their places, but the chief
executives Of the organizations, inolud-
ing the Knights of Labor, had their lips
tightly closed by law. The injunction
provided that they shall 6n no oOGg inter-
fere with the regularly moving of cars;
that no OOrd shall be spoken which might
interfere with the regular movement of
freight and passengers, and that no
power or influence shall be exercised that
would bring about any strike on the
Northern Pacific railway.
This cast iron gag, which could be
successfully used on the citizens Of NO
other country, unless it be Russia, will
be good for a year, at least, as it has
been appealed to the supreme court,
which will be in no hurry to dissolve it.
And so, step by step, with increasing
speed we have reached the point where
the PRISONS shadow falls across the path
Of organized labor. Is there no remedyP
None, until We have sense enough to get
together % an army of voters strong
enough to establish the courts ourselves.

paying interest upon them. But that is

OF this system an intelligent writer
on banking says: "The great facilities
which banks afford for the transaction
Of business, ETC., render them agencies Of
trade Of very great usefulness and i'm
portanCe; and when legitimately and
properly conducted, no other institution
is capable Of rendering go much service
to society. Banking, legltimstely con-
Quoted, 10 purely matter of private
enterprise, and different in no respect
from that Of an individual following any
other pursuit or profession, and there
fore should be subject to such laws as
partnerships are conducted under. But
the generally recognized and sCknowl-
edged benefits Of banks have led indi-
viduals to seek, and governments to
bestow, upon them powers and priVi-
leges such as are bestowed upon the
vocation Of no other class Of society. We
refer more particularly to the power
with which banks are clothed by law, of
issuing promissory notes nOminslly pay
able on demand, to circulate ss money.
There is no reason why bankers should
be invested with this authority any more
than any other class Of society. The
temporary accommodation and relief
which, by reason Of this privilege, they
are enabled TO afford to individuals and
from which the community derives a
benefit, has blinded society to the far
greater evils which flow from the Gus.
tom."
And another writer in Johnsons Uni
vsrsal Cyclopedis, speaking OF this fea-
ture of banking says, "The bad practice
which originated with the Bank Of Eng
land was an agreement to pay gold on de-
msnd for it's inscription of credit. This
was to undertake an impossibility. The
general debts Of q bank are redeemed by
It's general resources, and these consist
mostly Of loans and discounts that ma
ture in the future. A more flsgrsnt Vio-
lRtion OF sound banking was never con-
ceived. Il has repeatedly involved the
banks Of the United States in fatal en-
bRrassment, and brought ruin upon
thousands Of merchants who were other
wise able to pay their debts. 1t is not,
then, alone the excessive and unfair
profits which the system (bsnks Of issue)
enables those engaged in it to reap from
the public, but the periodical derange-
msnt Of business and trade, 80 fruitful
OF disaster, which it leads to, that rem
ders it 30 Objectionable and obnoxious.
And Mr.. Jefferson time and again warned
his cOuntrymen Of the evils and false
principles of the system. For example,
in 1913: at will be asked are we to have
no banksP Are merchants and others to
be deprived Of short accommodations so

up again and go on with it once more.
AS was said Of the old Bourbons Of
Europe, they learn nothing and forget
nothing. And the British system is not
universally approved even at home and
by English statesmen; as instructions
from Gladstone and others on different
occasions attest. But the power Of the
Bank Of England, like that Of the second
bank Of the United States, is too great
for anyone without the iron will and
popularity Of q Jackson to encounter.
The Westminster Review, an authorita-
tive organ Of public opinion there and an
exponent Of the conservative party there
has said: SIN breaking this monopoly of
the kbGnk, we should be taking great
strides towards the attainment Of that
ideal system Of currency which Sir
Robert Peel must have had in view when
he passed his currency laws; a system
under which the state should DO the sole
fountain Of issue-under which no money
should circulate on credit; or il it does
it should be on the credit Of the state
all bank notes as well as coins bearing
the image and superscription Of the head
of the state and under which all profits
upon the issue Of money shall form part of
the imperial revenue. The power OF issue
now exercised by the Bank Of England
and by the English, Irish and Scotch
banks, all private corporations, is q relic
of feudslism." 1t is high time this state
Of things ceased; that all power Of issue
was gathered into the hands Of the state;
that all notes but those of the state were
suppressed; that the right Of issue now
vested in the banks were vested i'm the
royal mint, and that the profits upon
paper currency were claimed by the
state and appropriated = . to the
reduction Of taxation, " etc., etc. So it
appears things are working in the Old
World as we'll az in the New; and that
there are crsnks there az we'll as here Rd-
vooating a government paper currency
and making no distinction between the
minting Of coin or paper. And that is
what we shall come to after we have got
slrfeit Of ridicule and clsp.trsp from
the politicians and the party press and
become thoroughly disgusted with that
kind Of sliment.
Thus We have seen how a single class
is clothed with authority to issue cur
renCy and compel all other Glasses to use
it as circulating medium and pay COM
pound interest for its use; and this is the
fundamental principle Of the system.
There is no sound reason why the gov
ernment should confer this privilege
upon select few and thus enable them
to live and fatten of the toll of COM
munity and not upon the farmer, me-
chaniC, manufacturer or any other men,
ber OF society. How long it takes the
money power Though the machinery of
banks Of issue, to rob the people Of their
annual increase OF wealth (31S per cent
is not matter or speculation. Because
the experience Of seventy-Rve years
demonstrates that the system will bring
about q commercial crash every ten years
at the farthest Such a crash is simply q
general settlement in the bankrupt
court, wiplng out Of old scores and

Napoleon Is on the toilet OF the EN-.

down to tho smallest details with

would rise, and take a hot bath, last
ing about an hour. The daily shaving
was the next duty. Ordinarily his
physician, Corvisart, would DO pres.
ent chatting and securing favors for
his friends. Napoleon's greeting was
usually some badinage, such as, "Ah
charlatan! How many patients have
you killed this mornings" and the
physician would reply In kind. Two
Wallets were necessary for shaving,
one holding the basin and another the
mirror. The Emperor, In o flannel

face with soap and proceeded to
shave, beginning at the loft side, ut
the top OF the cheek. The left side

Napoleon was next deluged with eau
do cologne, and subjected to thor.
ough scrubbing with a rough brush.
The valet then rubbed the whole
body with linen rolls saturated with
eau do cologne, custom that Napo-
leon had acquired In the East. The
scIubbing was none OF the lightest
either, for he would call out from
time to time:" Harder, rub harder"

A romantic story comes to us from

that an elderly widower called upon
a friend there recently, and, In the
course OF the conversation. conflded
to him that he was very lonely. His
children had grown up and gone, and
he felt the need Of companionship.
The friend was equal to the emer-
gency. He told the disconsolate
wldower OF an excellent lady, q
widow, his wife's sister, who wonld
be just the person Of all to cheer up
his homo and make life really worth
living. He ended by writing an in.
vitation to his sister.in-law to come
and visit at his home, and sent his
friend to Waterville with 1t. They
drove back together, and on the way
entered into a marriage engagement.
The wedding Is expected soon.-
