The Voice SneerS.

The Voice of December 27th garbles an
extract from an editorial of the MIDLAND
JOURNAL. and contents itself with sheer,
ing remark
''Do you really mean it? Well, bless
you, the Prohibition party has no copy
right to prevent any outside organization
you want to start to fight the saloon. We
have had whole pages Of criticism from
you telling us there was better method.
Now go on and Sh07V us the right method
of fighting the saloons. By all means,
start that outside organization at once
While deprived of the privilege of a
copyright" the prohibition party has
the position which in large measure
serves as a copyright in hindering all
combination of the prohibition element
against the saloons political power. The
VOice knows this full we'll, as can be
readily seen by reading its TRADES between
the lines. The party has been god
for the p0iGe and the personal interests
of its proprietors, but not in late years,
for the advancement of the prohibition
cause.
Aside from purely personal or pecuniary
interests, the real public mission of the
paper is a string to connect the prohibit
ton party and all it can influence to the
Wall street and London gold ring money
oligarchy, as its crazy-quilt financial rot
clearly shows It is the gold money
monopoly the Voice is particularly inter
ested in upholding, more than downing
the SALOON. While the gold ring monop.
oily stands the liquor monopoly will stand.
There is nothing surer than that. The
Voice sneers. 1t is easier to sheer than
meet our point that the prohibition party
is doing nothing to advance prohibition
by its methods.

Wall Streets Financial System.

The FinaRcier is a New York bankers
paper and one you can depend on all the
time for light from that quarter. After
perspective view of the finances i'll con-
nection with the self imposed Treasury
tangle, the following advice or opinion is
volunteered as a remedy for the present
financial evils j:
eff congress will rise to the occasion,
amend the laws which are not altogether
bad repeal the legal tender act, make
provision for the final cancellation of the
greenbacks, and provide revenue sufficient
to meet expenses, the distrust will pass
away, and there will be return of con-
fidence immediately"
Here is string of generalities, we can
not say they are of the "glittering" kind,
such as political party platforms are made
Of There is the troublesome little eff"
in this proposal at the outset. Congress
doesn't know how to rise to the occa-
sion" which works ruin to the Financiey'S
scheme. How are the defective laws
complained of to be amended? That is
not pointed out. Repeal the legal tender
act, that is demonetize this money.
Cancel the greenback, which is to say,
issue $500, 900, 900 low interest gold bonds.
That is the milk in this cocoanut, which
would contract the currency to just that
amount, and reduce the price of every
species of property in a corresponding
ratio. And then provide revenues suf-
ficient to meet expenses" There is the
rub. The F1naNciey does not venture any
suggestions how this can be done Under
our present range of low prices no tariff
that can be laid will yield anything like
sufficient revenue, and all of the class the
Fananciey talks for is dead opposed to an
income tax. The general public is too
poor to buy any large amount of foreign
goods. Without that revenue from i'm
ports cannot be raised. With poverty
Astounding and constituting the main crop
of the country money rising and prices
falling how on earth does the F1naNciey
expect distress will pass away ard
confidence return and that Gimme
diately"?
Did our esteemed New York brother
scribe ever know any person who wasn't
a born fool go into business OH falling
prices, or prices to take an upward turn
while money was growing scarcer? How
is the $500, 600, 900 he proposes to destroy
to be replaced and enough added to make
business more profitable than the rise in
the value of money, debts and interest
Until this takes place, Confidence will
not return. Confidence is only the assur-
ance that profit can be made in legit-
innate business. There is no lack of Con
fidence" in any of the government issues
of money. Everybody, even the CON-
planning bankers, have so much conf
dence in it they lock it up and won't risk
it in business. Our dear Fanancier your
panacea will not work We know what
your people want although you don't say
it in plain English. The banks want to
be freed from all responsibility to the
government, have carte blanche to issue
just as much or as little currency as they
choose, and the government to stand
endorser for it. Can you make your
financial scheme of Sound money!
palmer than this?

The Government and Banking.

The bankers have invented a new
phrase. "the government should
90 out of the banking business. !"
This phrase is being industriously
repeated by their hired press for
the purpose of making the public
familiar with it, when they hope it
will be accepted as an established
truth and the careless people will
never think of gainsaying it. This
new phrase will soon take its place
beside the "party'' of the metals,
"incontrOverlible'' and other catch
words. Mr.. Eckels, comptroller of
the treasury has seized upon the
bank phrase and Celebrates it by
saying in his report the United
States Government never has issued
and never can successfully issue and
pass money among the PEOPLE;
that it should retire from the
"banking business.
1t is strange if he expected any
body to believe this statement.
But those who have imposed on a
credulous public so long appear
to have reached the conclusion that
any thing they can get the monopoly
press to assert with boldness will
be swallowed by the masses. This
is to a large extent true.
In place of the government going
out of the "banking business" the
fact is it has never been in it. and
the only way to settle this "money
question: is for the government to
go into the banking business. That
would settle it, and settle it per-
manently. And we make the as
sertion here and without fear of
successful contradiction that any
other banking system will never
succeed. The government has
stood as surety for the bankers in
all of its SO called "banking
business" and when it goes out of
the business of playing second
fiddle to the bankers in standing as
their security and takes first place
the financial troubles will be ended,
and bank robbery of the public and
bulldozing the treasury and con-
gresS will stop.

will be convinced of that year hence.

next congress comes in power, under the
dictation of John Sherman with Wall
street and the Bank of England at his
back. Their newspapers are already pre-
pairing the public for an extra session as
soon as the present inbecile, Doodle and

When the people elected the congress
which comes into power after the 4th of
next March they put their head into the
lions mouth, which they will learn to
their sorrow before two years roll around.
