From Sound Money, Massillon, Ohio.
Mr.. Editor:-Please allow space in
your columns from an old worker in re-
gard to our duty, as to the future of our
once happy country. l wish to say by
way of preliminaries, that I spent the
last week of the campaign for governor
of Ohio in 1895, in Williams county, and
l never met more noble, hospitable,
whole souled workers since l have been
in the work. Bros. Stauffer, Manwilder,
Kissinger, Hopkins, Loutzenheiser Gear
hart, Mercer, Cummins, Hodson, Cox and
Eaton. Never did I receive better treat
and their families are true and worthy
the cause they have espoused. The read
ers of Sound Money will please listen to
the advice of live radical worker, one
who has not affiliated with either Of the
old parties since 1871, one who has kept
in the middle of the road since the days
Of Peter Cooper, in 1876 l have watch
ed the doings of the money power with
l. l.
is the matter. l feel to say that many
Populists-the major part perhaps-do
not fully realize the aims and designs of
the money power The question has
been asked by millions of people the last
few years:
WHAT IS THE NATTER?
In this great country of ours, with Its
great undeveloped resources, with but 1C
to the square mile yet, according to Car
roll d. Wrights report there are 4,O0Os-
600 of idle people, who cannot find mar
ket, for their muscle tramping and
searching For work in order that they
and their families might live? What is
the matter? Indeed will tell you. The
money power of Europe-with It's center
at the home of the Rothschilds-and
their agents and allies in Wall street,
have entered into a conspiracy for the
express purpose of rObbing labor of its
reward and thus make the rich, richer,
and the poor, poorer; and 1t has been car
rying out its evil Vaccinations by false
financial, class legislation. This is tho
answer to the question:-What is the
matter? The foundation for the trouble
we are suffering under today was laid
way back at the beginning of our govern
ment. Hamilton did not want the COM
mon people to have voice in the govern
ment He said: 1T would not do to
trust too much to the people, it would not
do to be too democratic" The rich and
we'll born, he said, should rule. He did
not desire to have the constitution guar
antee unto all the right of the elective
franchise, but in this he was defeated;
but he did not give up the fight. Being
the first secretary of the treasury Of the
new republic, he advised congress to
charter a q. S. Bank. He knew ren1e1n-
Der, that the power which controlled the
money of q nation cOntrloS that nation
and everything in it. He knew by es-
tablishing a monetary system putting
the control Of the money into the hands
Of private corporations, there could be
built a monied oligarchy, plutocracy,
just what we have today, and the expe-
rience we are suffering under proves the
far seeing capacity OF Hamilton. My
Democratic friends, listen Jefferson
said, "The power to issue money should
be taken from private corporations, and
restored to the government where 1t be-
Longs Jackson vetoed the bill to char
ter the IT, S. Banks in 1892, saying:
"Such a concentration of money was
dangerous to the liberties Of the people,"
Such was Democracy in 1900 and in 1882.
Thos. H. Benton said: jackson did not
kill the tigress, he only wounded her,
and in due time she would return with all
her whelps in a ten-fold ratio" The
old prophets never prOphecied more tru-
ly. She did return with all of her whelps
in the shape of national banks in 1863.
The bond act in 1869 was enacted for two
reasons--to form banking basis; and,
to establish perpetual debt upon the To-
boring people Of this country. We have
the banking basis and the perpetual
bonded debt is fastened upon lis. Not a
child is born yet who will see the nation
al debt paid Now think: From 1862 to
1892 labor has paid 81, ,4S1 100000 in in
terest; yes, interest, and the non-taxab!e
bonded debt is a greater burden than it
was at the close of the war. Who earned
all this vast sum of interest? Labor
paid it ALL Who was it paid to? To the
millionaire money loaners.
WHAT OF THE OUTCOME?
What will the harvest be? What better
legacy do the "shylocks'' want than to
leave untaxed interest bearing bonds to
their children, and on down to the latest
generation of men? Do you see the cat?
Again: The laboring people were too
previous in 1866 when there were $58
per capita in circulation, SO untaxed in
terest bearing bonds were issued and
bought with greenbacks, and the green
backs destroyed to the amount of four
teen hundred millinos of dollars for -ile
purpose of contracting the currency and
getting down to a gold basis.
The credit strengthening act" in
creasing the national debt $500, 900 900 by
making the bonds payable in gold; the
"refunding act" of 20, the "demonetiza-
tion act,' of 72. and the resumption act''
of 1875, making "Seven Financial Con-
spiracies, were gotten through congress
at the instigation Of the money power of
Europe and "Wall street." and some
