EVIDENCE THAT THE TROUBLE ~ THE COM
MAVD Is DRAWING TO \ FoCUS-THE MAN
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1895-07-05
LABOR AND CAPITAL.

Labor builds all, yet is without a
home. Labor runs the bakery, but
monopoly takes the cake.
Women are laboring in Chicago
brick yards to avoid starvation.
For every man who gets something
for nothing, some other man gets no
thing for something.
Discomfort is the first promise Of re-
form. Contentment marks the end of
progress. China has been contented
for 5000 years.
When a man sees that it is monopoly
and not capital that is expressing Ia
Dor, he is on the straightroad to solu-
ton of the labor question.
The world owes no man a living.
Every man must earn that for himself.
But the world does owe him an Oppor-
tunity to make a living.
Labor, the creator of all values, is
impoverished and dependent. These
abnormal conditions result chiefly
from restriction and usurpation.
Labor and capital are allies, not enc
mics. Special privileges to capital and
a denial Of natural rights to labor are
the great causes of industrial antagon-
ism.
Aggregations of capital into trusts
and labor into organizations are efforts
toward self preservation. They are
rendered necessary by unnatural com
on.-Exchange.

Senator Benjamin Richardson NJ D., of Eng.
land, thinks that the normal period OF human
life Is about ITO years, and that seven out of ten
average people could live that long if they lived

Dr.. Buchanan, the New York murderer, who

RETROACTIVE POLICY.

| How to meet the government expen-
ses and maintain gold standard and
untaxed milIionaires is a perpIexing
problem to the present administration.
Each month the government deficiency
| is growing larger The revenue tariff
bill was so changed as to make it a
mild protective measure, as the fact of
prospective deficiency stared the
Democratic tariff for revenue reformers
in the face. All promised reforms have
been scratched off and everything has
been sWerved to the demand for rev.
enue, and still deficiency grows.
Despite this growing deficiency, gold
standard must be maintained and the
taxation of the wealthy classes light
ened so far as it is safe TO do so and not
suffer utter bankruptcy. The wise
Democratic reformers have been inves.
tigating the condition and worrying
their brains to evolve some way to
meet increasing debt and let the steal
ing go on. At last the scheme comes
to light, and it is as follows:
Back in Jackson's time, when hon
esty was the policy, the government
revenues far exceeded the expenses.
At that time a public office was a pub
lie trust in fact, and no one robbed the
government. AS a result of honest and
economic government under jackson,
there accumulated several million dol
lars in the federal treasury. This
money not being needed, General Jack
son suggested that it be returned to
the people. This was done, and %
states received from the general gov
eminent S28,0O0,OO0. The proposition
Of the goldbug Democrats is to have
the states return this sum now to the
government.
What grand idea this is! Force the
states to tax their people to pay back
this money! Don't coin money as the
constitution provides, but tax the peo-
lie! What handy thing tax is! Tax,
tax, tax, nothing but tax! We are also
told that there is an abundance of
money, and the only real honest and
sound money the country ever had, yet
the government must pursue the retro
active policy to procure money to de.
fray current expenses. This all goes
to show that the revolution is coming.
1t is only matter of time until the
people will be forced to rise up in their
might and choke this money oIgarchy
that is throttling the government and
robbing the people. 1t must come, and
the sooner it comes the sooner will just
conditions be reached.

GOLD SUPPLY INAnEnI-ATE

It is generally conceded that the ag-
gregate of all classes of American debt
held abroad is five billions Of dollars,
and that the interest on this amount,
which must be paid in gold, reaches
s225OOOOOO annually. In 1892 the world
produced s196,605,OOO in silver, and
.8130,8l7,OOO in gold. Deducting 40 per
cent used in the arts and sciences, we
have left for money purposes only
Sl96,454,0O0. With the output of both
gold and silver for the whole earth ag-
gregating only s197, 100000, how can we
pay annually to Europe s225 100000 in
gold? Surely no one would advise a
new bond issue every time the interest
fell due; even a Zulu would stand
aghast at such a proposition. But how
are we to pay this interest? It is a
serious question, and touches the very
life Of the American people. The for
eigners who hold the debts and their
American agents producers near
y every one of them-see clearly that
if this interest could be paid in the
products Of cotton, wheat and
corn-that the gold would remain in
this country to be manipulated as they
see fit So far they have enforced this
policy and made it possible for Eng
land to say to us With brutal frankness:
~ want cotton, wheat and corn to
clothe and feed my millions. You
Americans raise a very superior quality
of these articles. Put them to me
cheaper than they can be produced in
my own India and Egopt- where labor
is only 10 cents per day-else I shall
buy from them, and destroy your ma
tional credit by demanding your inter
est in gold7 Thus do American wheat,
corn and cotton go abroad in settle
ment Of at least s. or 80 per cent of orr
foreign indebtedness. No wonder these
conditions suit tie corporate greed Of

Secretary Carlisle, in his speech at
the Memphis sound money" conven-
ton, delivered himself Of five szioms,
which General Wade Hampton has
since declared to be unansWerable.
They were as follows:
1. There is not a free coinage country in the
world today that Is not on a silver basis
2. There is not a gold standard country IN the
world today that does BOT use silver money
along with gold.
8. There IS not a silver standard country In
the world today that uses any gold along with
silver
1. There is not a silver standard country in
the world today that has more than one-third
OF tine circulation per capita that the United
States has.
5. There is not a silver standard country in
the world today where the laborlng man receives
fair pay for his days work.
The Salt Lake Tribune answers them
in detail and throws in one for good
measure, as follows:
/. There is not one free coinage country in the
world today that Is not enjoying Une1ampled
prosperity, the only drawback being foreign
debt contracted on the gold basis.
?. There is not a gold standard country In the
world today the property of which has shTunken
from % to 90 per cent during the last Il years ;
not one Ia which there is not uneXampied de-
preston. distress and sOrrOW.
3. There is not a silver standard country in
the world today that has any need of gold money
except to settle foreign balances, and there is
not a gold standard country IN ali the world to-
day that the bulk Of all the gold is not locked
up In the treasury OF In the banks, and the peO-
pie are suffering from sOund money" asphyxia.
f. There is not a silver standard country in
the world today where there are any idle de-
posts lying in the banks; adj the money being
in actual circulation and drawing large interest,
and the circulation per capita of real money In
the United States is just about what it is in
Mexico, nearly all the money of ultimate redemp-
ton being hid away In the vaults of the treas
ury and national banks,
.. There Is not a silver standard country in
the world today where the labOring man is not
receiving full pay and more regular work than
he ever received before. There is not a gold
standard country in the world today where a
vast proportion Of the people are not idle,
and where wages are above the rates of 1S49. ez-
cept where they have been maintained by the
stubborn persistence of the labor unions.
And we will add one more:
6. There is not a silver standard country in
the world today where the people are not doing
better than ever before. There is not a gold
standard country in the world today where the
people are not in more Distress and suffering
moro loss and more apprehension than ever be-
fore

ment over to Queen Victoria, or ask

has thrown down the gauntlet of battle.
1 trust the silver men Of all parties will
take it up. I am happy in the belief
that platforms which mean anything
or nothing on the silver question, will
in the future go for nothing with the
members of all parties. The people
have been deluded and deceived until
their eyes are open. There has sprung
up among them hostility to such plat
forms, which the empty and perfdious
hypocrisy of set phrases never fails in
the end to inspire"

CALDWELL For SILVER

Henry c. Caldwell, senior United
States circuit judge for the Eighth
judghth circuit of Colorado, first made
district judge by President Grant, and
promoted to the circuit judgeship by
President Harrison, wrote a letter
under date of st. Louis, April 30, to an
old army friend, nov in Denver, in
which, among other subjects, he speaks
frankly and freely upon the silver
question. The letter was written with
out any supposition that any part of it
would be given to the public, but the
friend to whom it was written, who is
an ardent silver man himself, assumes
the privilege for The sake of the good
cause to make public a part of what
the judge writes about silver. Judge
CaldwelI's utterances are bold, clear
and unequivocal. The following is
from the letter:
"The country is about entering upon
another struggle for the protection of
the rights and the promotion Of the in
terests Of the labOrer and producer,
which is, in my Judgment, of even more
moment than the first. I have been
surprised that the issue has been so
long delayed, The fight ought to have
been forced years ago on the line of

Fun ar the signing.

When John Hancock affixed his, IN
der other circumstances, prepOsterous
signature to the Declaration Of hide
pendence. he Iaughingly pushed the
paper aside, saying: There, John Bull
may read my name without spectaeles. .
Again. when Hancock reminded the
members of the necessity Of hanging
together, Dr. Franklin dryly remarked:
ayes, We must indeed all hang together
or most assuredly we shall all hang
separately" And stout Mr.. Harrison
remarked to little Elbridge Gerry that
he would have the advantage Of him,
for he should be dead while little Gerry
would be dangling around and slowly
choking.
And thus on that hot morning Of the
4th Of july, I776, amid the livery stables
buzzing flies, which the honorable gen
tlemen we're Vainiy fighting with way
ing handkeFchiefs, was given TO the
world the immortal Declaration of In
dependence.
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1895-07-05

ARE WE FREE SOVEREIGN PEOPLE
The boast of Americans is liberty.
and independence. How much liberty
do the people of the United States now
enjoy? 10 what extent are the people
of the United States independent?
What does the flag of the free amount
to at this time? About how much SOY.
ereignity do the people now possess?
If this country is dependent upon En-
gland, as it were, are we independent?
If the people cannot earn a living for
their families, are they independent?
If this country is under bondage to
other nations, what does the flag
amount to? If the government of the
United States cannot coin money, what
sovereign power can it exercise?
We are told that the United States
alone, cannot coin money, but that
other nations must be consulted. That
we must adopt the money system of
England or the English money power
will crush US to earth; that this system
of English confscation must be held
up here, and labor impovished or our
national credit will be torn down!
0What kind of a free, independent,
and sovereign country have we in the
United States anyway? What is the
use in keeping up this pretense of free
dom, independence and sovereignty,
longer, when they do not exist in fact?
The United States is an English de-
tendency, and the people may as we'll
admit the fact first as last. We cannot
exercise the sovereign power of issu-
ing money, and cannot guarantee pro-
lection to our wealth producers. What
are we but a lot of slaves, who imagine
we are a free people.
