HIGHWAY ROBBERS.

What is highway robbery?
Is it not just plain robbery on the
highway2
Is highway robbery punishable by
laws
Some of it is and some is not.
If a man meets another on the high
way and robs him.
That is defined to be highway rob-
berry and is a crime.
If a trust robs on the highways and
byways, that is longheaded business
tact.
Recently the Standard Oil Company
committed a highway ROBBERY and
gathered in about a million of the
''stuff."
The Standard Oil Company did not
pretend to give an equivalent and did
not even ask permission to go through
the peoples clothes.
It just went at the robbery in the
regular highwayman's style of "holdup
and deliver over your cash and other
valuable effects"
There is no law defining such a rob-
berry as the trusts carry on as crime.
The men who compose the trusts are
Christian gentlemen.
Rockefeller, the Standard Oil king, is
a man of pious exterior. He is a
church member. He contributes Of his
plumber to support and even to build
churches, hence he is not. a robber, but
a Christian gentleman.
A portion of this last Standard oil
holdup may be devoted to building a
church. If a millionaire thief give of
his plumber to the Lord he is a Chris
tian gentleman in the eyes of modern
humanity.
The Armour combination of Chicago
is now operating a wheat trust. These
Chicago robbers even s the staff Of
life as a medium to rob the people,
Wheat futures are now being maipu-
lated so as to throw a half million dol
lars at least into the clutches of the
Armour trust, and others will ofcourse
be robbed of this amount.
Political parties don't want to say
anything about these trusts in their
platforms. Just keep on resolving
about "tarif" and ''parity"o of gold and
silver and monometallism and every
other ism except the ism that stops
highway robbery of every species from

WOMEN AND BUSINESS.

A New York banker said recently:
Among our depositors we have a few
young girls, the daughters of wealthy
men, who place their allowances with
US, and draw upon us in small checks.
Their Ignorance of the most ordinary
business methods is amazing. One
young lady on being notified that she
had overdrawn her deposit to the
amount of thirty dollars, promptly sent
us an order for that sum, payable by
ourselves, to ourselves.
1.-The father of another girl placed a
sun of money to her credit with us,
and gave her a check, book. In a
short time she had overdrawn her de-
posit. She assured her father that it
was impossible. He placed her next
quarterly allowance with US, warning
her not to allow herself to overdraw
again.
SAT the end Of a month she sent a
check, which we did not cash because
her deposits had already been drawn
out. We notified her, and she went to
her father, sobbiDg with indignation.
"'They say I have nc money in the
bank, and look at all these checks
which I have not used!' she cried,
showing him the book half-full of
blank checks.
These are facts, though they seem
almost incred ible. And yet these are
cultured, bright girls, who are at home
in matters of literature and art, and who
probably chatter fuently in two OF
three languages"
A real estate lawyer declared that he
made it a rule not to transact business
for women, as their ignorance of fnan
cial laws and methods made them I'm
reasonable clients.-YOuth's COmpan

man to vote for instead of what party.
Try to select men after Gods own
heart, and who will look to Him at all
times for help and council. Do this

O Go together, organize and work

pending in 90. hope the brethren of
the Alliance will try to attend every
meeting. Each one has a work to do
in this grand and glorious cause of
ours, and then you will learn how to
perform that duty. Quit yourselves
like men, stand firmly to the front and
do your duty like men. Be determined
that if you fall, you will fall like men
at your post of duty. I believe our
cause is a just and good one, and if we
persevere we will at last be crowned
with a glorious victory of which we
will all be proved.

DEADLY FIGURES.

Acareful examination into the opera
lions of the single gold standard during
the year of 1894 presents figures that
are calculated to startle the average
mind.
There has been q decrease of $780,
1876, 700 in property values in 43 states
territories. Only twelve states out of
the 43 show an increase. The decrease
in the 81 remaining states represent a
general falling off while the total in
crease of values for the IL states is
1897, 800, 753, and of this amount, $685.
883, 492 is represented by New York
alone. Thus it will be seen that one
State represents a fraction over SO per
cent of the entire increase, and 70 per
cent of the remainder comes from
Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. The
increase in nine of the twelve states is
only $50, 822, O91 while the remaining
three, New York, Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania show an appreciation Of
1906, 978, 661.
The net decrease of property values
in Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Ken
lucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia and West Virginia is $780,
284, $50.
To recapituIate, 81, state have lost
over five hundred millions of dollars
in one year by the single gold standard
while three states embracing the money
centers, New York, Philadelphia, and
Boston, have gained 1906. 978, 681.
New York, Boston and Philadelphia
have every reason in the world to sing
the praises of the single gold standard,
but when applied to the country at
large it is a fraud of the first water.

BILL WRITES TO GROVER.

While the Supreme court was still
waiting for higher bids before selling
out on the income tax, Bill NJ e wrote
President Cleveland as follows:
Colonel Grover Cleveland, Fearless
Executive and Fisherman of the
United States:
FRIEND CLEVELAND am mortified
almost to death to write you, making
what is called a poor mouth" regard
ing the income tax and my failure to
put up same. At this writing of course
I have slender hopes that the act will
be repealed or declared ungrammatical
by the Supreme court, but in the
meantime I have been repeatedly
dunned for same, and only to-day have
I had the courage to write and ask
you to give me time. If it will be the
same to you, I am willing to assume a
part of the national debt, paying it as
it falls due in so to 70 years, but to
realize at once on collateral or other
property during this metallic string
0uCy IL qu4G0 "OOSSIOI0.
The government is full aware that I
have been a staunch friend in time of
sore need. Yet Ihave never asked the
United States for a favor. If now my
income tax should be allowed to be-
come delinquent and be advertised, it
would hurt me with people who are
now ~cheerfully supplying me with
rump steak and other d~elicacies.
Mr.. President, I would not take up
your time in this way if I had not on
every occasion in season and out Of
season stood by you. You can have no
idea how many times my voice has
been heard in your defense, even
though I do not belong to your own
party. Time after time I have fought
for you against overwhelming odds
when prominent Democrats, whose
names I can give if necessary, have
called you "a biggety, stubborn, ma
Iignant, typhoid calamity"
I don't know how many times l have
been your defender to the neglect of
my own business. Ihave said both at
home and abroad that you seem to be
bigger than your party, and to enjoy
better health also.
Now, as I say, if my tax a be
made payable after I get to lecturing
next winter, or if you could sign a note
with me that would be accepted at the
interior department I could give you a
second mortgage on a good cottage
organ which I am paying for in eggs.

Worshiping God In his devotion to
Gods images, his fellow men, that we
may we'll forgive his impiety, if indeed
he was impious. He contemplated the
marvellous bounty which nature had
provided for man upon this continent.
He saw and knew, in some degree, the
potency of a nation made free to use
and enjoy these marvellous natural
opportunities. No wonder that his
pen was inspired with high hopes and
that his tongue uttered eulogies to
liberty. If he could have seen the
harnessed forces of Nature and the
then undiscovered material treasures
Of this Continent which are available
to US to day, his pen would have writ
ten rhapsodies and eloquence would
have been incapable of expressing MS
emotions. Like a prophet whose ldeal
was made clear and sure to his sight,
he might well have cried out, NOV
mother. let me return in peace to thy
bosom, for I have seen the glory OF the
coming day when man shall be at
peace and be guided by the law OF
love for his fellows" Oh! if Jefferson
could but have had a vision Of this
dav, when oil and gas and a thousand
curing waters spoutup from the bosom
of the earth; this day when steam and
unpalpable forces of nature, ~harnessed,
perform the work Of a hundred mil.
lion men upon this continent. When
messengers of lightning fly back and
forth between the nations of the world
and the listening a of a citizen of
this republic catches the signs and the
laughter and may detect the very
heart throbs of the Antipodes, all
thought of poverty and of suffering
need would have been banished from
his mind. But what a nightmare in
his dream of tie possibilities Of free
dom, would have been a vision of its
overthrow; to have seen here a nature
provided bounty more than sufficient
for a thousand million people, yet a
nation of people co~nfessedly suffering
for lack of opportunities and means to
feed seventy millions. To have seen
the great republic owned by ten mil
lions of her citizens and sixty millions
of people, with no right to a single
foot of the land of their country"
but such az may be gained upon the
terms and by the purchased consent
of the few owners of our country,
while yet untold millions of unused
acres, in %unpeopled idleness await the
hand of man, and millions of unwilI-
ingly idle men suffer want or beg at
the doors of their brethren for charity
knocking loudly upon the hearts and
consciences of men for justice, Justice!
This, in a land owned by spectators
in human need; while the needy poor
are fighting each other, in their
struggle to secure opportunities to
work for the owners of their country,
and that, too, for the bare reward of
the necessary means to maintain a
dwarfed and embittered existence.
If the statesman who hated tyrants
and over government had forseen this
also, he would have shouted the warn
ing: Beware Of the danger Of certain
ruin and catastrophe which attends
needless submission to the encroach-
ments of Lords and their monopoly of
all the lands of a people; of all the op-
portunities to work and thrive; op-
portunities from which to choose
happy vocations and in which to live
happy lives. E. S. DOUBLEDAY.
