WASTING

These are times when the o~ratorical
politician is wearing himself out on the
stump, to show his party's love for the
people, and that the adoption of his pO-
litical creed viii restore prosperity. 1t
is almost suicidal for a man to make a
half dozen long speeches In a day and
night, and yet there are men who are
doing 1t. But what is the need of his
exhausting effort if the truth is being
told. The political subjects hat are
being discussed to day upon the plat.
form and in the partisan press need 10
elucldation before the American people,
says the Farmers Voice.
They are not the subjects in which
the people are most vitality interested.
How are we to prevent pan.cs? What
course shall we pursue to restore pros
periGy9 These are the vital questions,
and from morning until night, anu
week In and week out, there is a pre-
tense Of answering them, by a discus
sion of the tariff question. We are told
that protection Will give us prosperity.
We are told that free trade Will give
it, when we all know that panics have
come and swept over the land utterly
regardless of the C -aracter Of tariff leg
islation. If we had a stone wall built
around the Republic, within gate IN 1t
or if, on the other hand, foreign manu-
facturers were allow ed to dump their
products here until they covered every
American factory a mile deep, we would
starve for bread and shiver from the
cold, if we had no money. 1t is the
financial question that needs attention
Why ven the bankers at their meeting
at Baltimore admitted that. They said
that our present system was not what
our necessities re~quired-that weneedeo
more money. But the politicians prac
tically ignore the financial question
and Kill themselves talking about the
tariff. Thank heaven, b people are
talking about money, and they vii
vote for men very largely at the com
ing election who know enough to knO"
that a country even with a wall abou'
it, cannot prosper without money.

have been a subscriber to your val
liable paper for four yearsor more, and
have seen nothing reported or con
tributed from u county except a few
proceedings of our County Alliance or
something of that kind.
Alliancemen, what I wish to report
is nv success with my sorgum crop! L
made $40 gallons of good thick mo
Iasses from what my best neighbors
saw one acre of land, also six two horse
loads of seed and 700 bundles of fodder,
which I value at a low estimate at $135,
from one acre, made in IA days In a
three roller Chattanooga mill, two
horses and a common boiler. l saw in
your paper a few weeks ego some
brother reported la gallons from one
half acre. He will have to do better
than that or l will be entitled to the
prize.
We all have good crops of corn In
this section of country and gathering
is going on and wheat sowing. We
have a pretty fair crop of politics this
year, but the Populist and co operative
movement seems t 10 be in the land. l
don't think there is anything short of
success unless by fraud and trickery
we are counted out. long to see the
day when we can have an honest ballot
and a fair count, such as we had in my
boyhood days when I could go to the
election on the first of August and de
posit my ballot in a 1fty-cent wool hat
covered with a red bandanna handker
chief. Then we had honest poll holders
and could have the assurance that u
ballots would be counted for whom
they were cast. ROBT A. TATE.

per cent. interest a year until paid, and
that soon after the bargain was made
you should pay me $50 of the $1OO you
owed me, how much would you owe
me then7
"Why, SO, of course"
Now DO you think it would be right
to compel you to pay interest on 800
each year for twenty years when you
did not owe but $102
mo, sir"
Then why do you insist that the gov
eminent shall do this, while you admit
the government should do business on
business principles9
81 do not
You uphold the national banking
system, don't you9
Yes"
Well, what 1 have pictured to you is
the national banking system.
Il guess you must be mistaken"
If you think 1 am, follow me through
and l will convince you that l am
right. Will you please answe the
questions as 1 go alorg7
Yes"
First then tie government issued
treasury notes (greenbacks) and paid
them out to the soldiers and for sup
plies for the army, did it not9
Yes"
These g~reenbacks were in circulation
as money were they aot7
Yes"
The Congress then passed a law to
fund" the floating debt" (meaning
greenbacks) into government bonds,
did it not7
Yes"
The man then with 500 in green
backs could exchange them with the
government for a 800 bond, could he
nCt2
Yes"
The 800 bond drew interest and was
non taxable, was it not2
Yes"
The government then burned up the
800 In greenba cks which it received
for the bond. Let us ssum that the
interest on the bond was Sc a year.
Now the holder of the bond promises
to go into the national banking system
under the laws passed by Congress.
Under the law the bondholder takes
this 800 bond to the government and
leaves it with the comptroller of the
Gu reDcy and receives from him $50 in
national bank bills, which you have
agreed was money. The government
owed the 500 bond and has paid $50 Of
it in national bank bill money it Ger
tainly does not owe but $40 on that 500
bond.
That is So"
The government should not pay in
terest on only so, then, should it9
Well, sir, the facts are, the govern
mpnt continues to pay the S. each year
f r twenty years and does not owe but
so of the 800 bond it did own In
other word7, the government pays to
the bankers S. each year and owes him
only SO. Is that what you call doing
business on business ~principles7
"Are you not mistaken9"
l am not. The government pays the
interest to the banker on the face of the
bond after paying him 1870 on every
500 bond in national bank bills.
And this is the banking system you
have been voting for every time you
voted the Democratic or Republican
ticket. This is not all. You are tax- d
by the government to pay the interest
the government DOES NOT OWE You
say you would o pay interest on
what you did not owe, yet go to the
polls and vote to be taxed to do it. Do
you think you are consistent9 Tell me
why you DO indirectly what you would
not do directly. Is it because you do
not know9 If so, then why not learn2
