Overlooking the Greatest of
Monopolies.

Gland monopoly, transportion
monopoly, monopoly of any means
of production, is insufficient to des-
troy the equilibrium of nature and
make the masses of the people bond
servants to the few" says a cotem-
porary to which it adds, $50 long
as you allow one man to profit by
the labor of another it doesn't
make very much difference about
the money system"
1t is singular that this class of
reasoners overlook the fact that the
money monopoly is the greatest and
most powerful of all monopolies. 1t
supports and absolutely controls
the above named and all other
monopolies, until this monopoly of
monopolies is wrested from private
hands and placed under control of
the people, none of the other
monopOlies that enable Zone man
to profit by the labor of another"
can be destroyed. They are the
chief medium through which the
money monopoly exerts its greatest
power.
Every reform movement that at
tempts to leave the money power
in the rear and undisturbed must
inevitably fail. 1t is able to check
mate every move made to over
throw any of its monopolistic strong
holds.
The prohibition party has dem
onstrated this fact beyond reason
able doubt. 1t has fought the
whiskey monopoly for 20 years
while overlooking the power be-
hind the rum monopoly, the money
power, and has lost ground in the
battle. The money monopoly up
holds all minor monopolies, which
are the principal tools it uses to rob
the people.

Floral Surprise.

Written for THE MIDLAND JOURNAL.
Where are the blossoms now, dear one,
l welcom'd those from thee;
The lilac in their rich perfume,
Sent from thy home to me?
The tulip closed their fairy lips,
AS whispering to themselves
The apple blossoms fair, in which
Loves early history tells
of one fair spot, we years ago
Gather'd them all our own
The years alas, they come and go;
l sigh for thee, old home.
What heart can willing forget
The playground ofits youth,
Where hopes bright star knew no regret,
In innocence and truth?
Alas, they say forget it all;
They do not know my pride;
They fathom not the rise and fall
Of memory's glorious tide.
These are the treasures now hold
In tender memory.

Could they return to me.
Thy home was robed in fairest bloom,
Sweet blossoms white as snow;
Beauty may fade away too soon;
Where are the blossoms now?

Death of Distinguished Persons.

Since our last issue the death of two
men of national distinction have died,
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Hugh Nc.
Cuiloch, and Secretary of State Walter
Q. Gresham, the latter expired at 1:I5
O'Clock on Tuesday morning, of acute
pneumonia. Mr.. Gresham's most fatal
step in public life was his connection with
Cleveland. That connection cast shadow
on former rather brilliant life.
Hugh McGuiloch was the man Whe
struck the most fatal blow to the pres
perity of this country when he led off
for specie resumption by converting
twelve hundred millions of calculating
legal tender money INTO long term interest
bearing public debt. That was the be.
ginning of a financial condition which
has made this nation tributary to Great
Britain and shrunk the value of the farm
lands of the country to one half and less
of their former value.

Naming the Babies.

An exchange tells n good story OF a
father and mother who were trying to
find names for their twin babies, who
by the way were girls. 1t was decided
that the father must name them. After
casting about and finding no names that
exactly suited him, he determined to
end the strain on his mind and call them
Kate" and Duplicate" In the course
Of time another pair OF twins came, and
they were boys. This was the husbands s
opportunity to get even, and he wanted
his good wife to christen the boys.
Imagine his feelings when the mother
one day told him she had named the
boys "Pete" and Repeat"
Upon the next occasion the pair will
doubtless be christened more" and
''Nomore."
