of state elevators.

the rich come from the poor in the
long run, just as all taxation ulti-
mately rests on the toilers. When
you put tax on the store the owner
shifts it onto his tenant: the tenant
adds it to the price of his goods:
when the middle-class is pinched
they recOup from those below: and
the tax rests at last on those who
rave no one below them, or who are
incapable of organizing for self-de-
Tense. The burdens of taxation are
nothing if the people are prosperous.
Deny them prosperity and straw
breaks the camel's back. And pros
perity holds an exact relation to the
abundance of the medium of ex-
change-money. Why not? The land
has fertility; the people have energy
and industry; all desire to succeed by
creating wealth. Give the human
race unlimited opportunity and they
will create in twenty years more
wealth than has been produced in the
last two hundred years. And what
is wealth? Things necessary to hui
man life and happiness:-food,
clothes, tools. homes, luxuries, de-
lights. The Money-Power sits with
it's finger on the carotid artery of the
worlds energy. shutting off the

A Frank Confession,

That able republican paper, the
Minneapolis Tribune. said not long
since:
And so the money owners inaug-
urated strike, which has not ceased
at the present moment, and the
Western debtor was forced to face
the prospect Of being compelled to
do business on a cash basis, instead
of under the credit system as hereto
fore. In the adjustment, of course,
there will be many losses and many
holdings will be transferred. Indi-
vidual borrowers will suffer, and
many who had no resources but bOr-
rowed capital will, to use modern
phrase, be frozen out. If the strike
continues the West may move less
rapidly, but the East will be the
greatest sufferer in the long run.
The most fertile acres under the sun
will not produce less, the ore and
lum Der will continue to come forth:
and, after the adj justment to a new
order of things, capital will be seek
ing the West instead of the West
seeking capital as now. Rates Of in
terest will 60 lower, and. in the end
the prosperity Of the great North
west will be retarded, perhaps. but
only for it's eventual good"
Observe here the pregnant admis-
sion, that the crash and crisis. the
hard times and poverty, the murders
and suicides, are due to 'strike
inaugurated by the money-owners. -
This is as strong as anything said by
the Populist press.
And what punishment should be
inflicted upon the men who have
caused such worldwide suffering,
such unlimited individual distress?
And what steps should be taken to
deprive them of the power to do such
evil again in the future? And as the
two old parties, by their slavish
trucking to the money-power, gave
them the opportunity to so wreck the
world, would it not be wise to drive
them out of power forever? Id.

Promoting Individual Prosperity

1t is no business of the state to
promote individual prosperity. The
state is concerned in preventing
violence, in securing justice and in
educating the children to become
good citizens. Whenever these limits
are transgressed the door is opened
wide for steals of all kinds.-Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader.
1t is enough to make a pious man
swear to read such stuff as that. 1t is
no business of the state to promote
individual prosperity? Indeed? Has
this donkey ever read the consti-
tuition of the United States? OF
course not. If he had he would know
that the Preamble of it declares that
the object of the government is to
''promote the general welfare;" and
how can you promote the general
welfare" without ''promoting indi-
vidual prosperity?"
No man can become a doctor in
this state without special training
and the passing of rigid examina-
tion. No man can become a lawyer
or railroad engineer without a SIM
liar ordeal. But any fool who can get
together few hundred dollars worth
of type can become an editor. He
may be as ignorant of the rules of
grammar and the forms of rhetoric
and the teaching of history and the
science of government as horse is of
Sanscrit: but he mounts the tripod
and pOurs forth his oracleS, and open
mOuthed fools swallow them.
But if the government has no right
to promote individual prosperity"
then it has no right to punish those
who interfere with that prosperity
by plundering honest industry. And
that is what the old-party papers de-
sire to establish. Trusts, combines,
cOnspiracies, watered stock, usury,
everything else can 60 on, must 60 on:
the government has nothing to do
with the prosperity of the people!
Their poverty and destruction are
just as satisfactory to the nation as
their happiness. Horrible doctrine
l would not dignity such public
enemies by hanging: for that's what
we do with better people: but cool
and pleasant ride on rail, in gar
nishment of closely-adbering feathers
with a FOOLS cap and bells on their
heads would be a charming way to
mark the public esteem of their in
telligencies. Id.

to decline in price of silver, that he
exclaims: eff the foregoing exhibit
does not convince every farmer of the
vital connection which the carefully
planned degradation of silver has
with farm products, then no exhibit
or argument can possibly carry con-
victiOn."
The Tribune argues that while this
decline is true yet there was also a
general decline prior to the war: and
that it was the greenback currency
that lifted up prices in America, from
1861 to 1872.
But the Tribune forgets that there
has been, for century past, great
decrease of the production of gold
and silver, as compared with the vast
increase in the population of the
world; but when the Plutocracy sup
plemented this general, natural fall
ing off of the money supply, by prac-
tically destroying silver as a money
metal, they sent the already declin-
ing world rushing down hill at a
terrific rate of speed, as evidenced by
the foregoing table.
And if the abundant supply of
greenbacks, in 1861-5, lifted up prices,
and gave the country prosperity why
would it not be good plan to try the
same medicine again? The Lord

INCREDIBLE GALL.
The Republican Party Friend
of Silver.-Superhum
Cheek.

Iit dHHudl CONVENTION OF Une N a
tiOnal Republican League is to be
held at Denver in the midst of the
people they have beggared.. The
Denverites can say, in the language
of the operatic song:-''Behold and
smile upon the ruin thou hast
made!"
But that isn't the worst Of it.
With degree of unparalleled impu-
dence unheard of heretofore in hui
man history, it summons to it's aid
all those 'who believe in sound mon
ey, and ''the use of both gold and sill
yer as standard money" and that
"the purchasing and debt-paying
power of the dollar, whether of silver,
gold or paper, shall be at all times
equal" as pledged in the national re-
publican platform at Minneapolis.
Isn't that COLOSSAL. "The.use of
both gold and silver" and they have
closed the mints against silver for
ever. "Standard money" and they
have even repealed the law providing
for the purchase of 4 800, 900 ounces of
silver month. And now John Sher-
mans party proposes to meet at Den
yer, and force these lying, frau dulent
pretenses down the thrOats of the
poor WretcheS whose mines have been
closed and their fortunes bankrupted
through their means. And John
Sherman says he is a friend of silver,
and Bill Washburn says he is BIZ
metallist! Really the, human mind
staggers in the presence of such aw-
ful impudence and matchless men

then assure the dying wre tch that you
were kindly trying to move his

Why one-fOurth the labOring pOpu-

away by these arrant tools of John
Bull and Wall Street; the mortgages
of Denver are more than the assessed
valuation of the town and yet they
talk about "this great, undevelOped,
reSOurcefut western cOuntry!' Why
didn't they call their convention to
assemble in our Red River Valley, in
the midst of the 45 cent wheat and
the 100 per cent loans? There is an
other "great, undevelOped, resource
full western country?" Why didn't
they call it in Oregon, where horses
have sold at public auction at dol
lar head? "Undeveloped, resource
ful?" Oh, the scOundrels. 1t is bad
