THE CURSE OF USURY:

1t Would BE just Onerous and Oppres-
sive Under Bimetallism as Under None
metallism.
Although bitterly partisan repub-
lican sheet, the Kansas City Journal
sometimes tells great deal of very
plain truth. Read what its editor
writes from Washington in late issue:
1.-The country must return to silver
because it cannot live otherwise. The
next question is: Will the people
learn wisdom by this experience, or
will they, when times grow better,
forget the lesson and allow the same
thing to be done over again? I have
lived long enough to see this spolia-
ton of the profits of a generation abb
sorbed by usurers twice accomplished,
and the war only prevented it being
three times done.
''But the most gigantic robbery of all
is just now achieved, for the profits on
the credit of the government and that
of the marvellous prosperity that kept
it at premium have all been absorbed
by this silver demonstration and the
transfer of property to the mortgage
holder. The fact is SO plain it only
needs the statement. And having been
accomplished we will now be permitted
to go to work with silver and paper
money-all we want-and work for
another term of years for these same
usurers. And yet we call ourselves
free and intelligent people. AS long
as men who are educated in the science
of compound interest make the laws,
so it will be.
ALREADY we see the beginning of a
race to restore silver. But that cam
not, from constitutional limitations,
be effective in law for three years at
the shortest, and in that time the con-
spiracy will have harvested its crop. 1
have said that SO long as men who
study compound interest make the laws
the present conditions are inevita BILE.
And they are inevitable because the
whole economic forces are directed to
produce them. Just see how universal
is the habit of borrowing. 1t is within
bounds to say that Is per cent. of the
productive labor of this country is ex-
pended to pay interest on borrowed
money-usury. Is our present condi-
ton to be wondered at?
1.-The people must cease to be mere
partisans and become economists
What is the remedy when our people
do cease to be partisans and become
economists? What will they do when
they have studied compound interest
and mastered its intricacies? Can it be
anything less than an economic revolu-
ton? Must not usury be abolished and
land monopoly overthrown? Is there
any other outcome than the national
iZation of our productive industries?
No people is free that expends IS per
cent. of it's productive labor to pay in
terest. There is no hope for any coun-
try in which the usurers control the
springs of wealth.-Star and Kansan.

CHICAGO, July 11.-Justice Bailey
yesterday refused to grant writ of
error and supersedeas that would stay
the execution of Patrick E. Prender-
CAST Until his insanity trial could be
reviewed by the supreme court. The
justice concurred with Judge Payne in
his views of the law, and while admit
ting that there were errors in the case,
did not think that they were material
enough to warrant his Interference
with the verdict.
Two last efforts will be made to-day
to save the life of the assassin. Attor-
ney barrow will go to Spring field and
plead with Gov. Altgeld for COM
mutation of the death sentence. At
torney Gregory intends to come into
court with an application for writ of
habeas corpus. The grounds for this
meditated action lies in the errors
which counsel for Pendergast say X
listed in the original trial.

Pacific Railway Debt.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The house

unanimously Saturday to report bill

INCREASING THE ARMY.

Measures in Congress Fixing the Maximum
Number OF Troops at 10000.
WASHINGTON, July 11.-Military au-
thorities in congress contemplate urg-
ing, at an early day, an increase of the
standing army to 10000. This is wholly
independent of the present strike and
of Representative Diapers resolution
for an increase of the army. In view
of the strike, the bill for an increase is
likely to be deferred for time. 1t
is possible, however, that when the
senate considers the army appropria-
ton bill the question of increase may
come up. In any event, however, lead
ing members of the house military COM
mittee will at an early day present an
application for a standing army on a
