THE WORLD 1T DO MOVE"

Ignatius Donnelly, in his address at the
Hudson fair, indicated the real Populis-
tic idea of money when he intimated that
the use of both gold and silver as
basis of money was relic of baTbar1sm
which must sooner or later give way to
a currency based on the perpetual pledge
of the civilized nations of the world to
maintain promises to pay. What Mr..
Donnelly and the other Pops are evident
ly hankering after, is fiat money.-Min-

ANOTHER FORM OF EVIL RESULT
ING FROM MONOMETALLISM.

To the Editor of the American:
Dear Sir: It has been said that fami-
lies living on fixed incomes were benefited
by the rising value Of gold. So they were,
but I will mention a case, and it is only
one of a class, where the evil result Of
recommendation is as plain and as pain
full as it is in the case of our producing
classes The family allude to had $780,
600 invested at 6 per cent per annum,
giving them $4,000 per annum, on which
they lived Comfortably The bonds became
due on July 1st and were paid off. The
trustee, trying to reinvest this money,
finds he cannot do it so as to give the
family their former income. He must
keep the fund safe; must invest in munic-
ipal state or national bonds, and so can
not get over per cent per annum. Thus
the family's income Is reduced from SO, 900
to 81 500 at one fell sweep. Now, l ask,
can this family, or any other family, in
any of our cities, reduce their expenses
at one sweep without such a change in
their mode Of life as must entail much
suffering and misery? This form of mis-
cry is only beginning to manifest itself.

AN OLD SOLDIER SPEAKS.
Austin, MINI.

HE REALIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF
THE BATTLE NOW ON.
Editor Representative:
l will do all I can to get more sub
scribers to your brave publication.
All who are not content to continue on
the road to the very bottom of poverty
andserfdom should now work late and
early to reawaken lost patriotism and
keep alive our inherited ideas of Ameri-
can freedom and equality before the law.
England has with her single gold stand
ard nearly accomplished that which her
arms never could, the subjugation of the
United States. 1t seems sad to one who
has been a soldier in two wars whose
first vote was cast for Gen. Scott in 1852,
and since then for Fremont, Lincoln,
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Blaine and Har-
rison to see his party and work become a
matter of merchandise to be bartered
away for foreign gold. We must rally our
forces around the old American Standard
or loose all we have gained from Valley
forge to Appamatox. Truly yours,

THE ELEVATOR COMBINE.

(From the Chicago Sentinel.)
We have several times, recently, called
attention to the fact that, however the
grain market may be at other seasons Of
the year, it is always at the lowest point
just at harvest when most farmers are
compelled from force Of circumstances, to
market their wheat, the cause Of which
we have always laid at the doors of the
great grain buyers, or spectators, or
farmer robbers, just as you choose to call
them.
Here Is some corroborative testimony in
from the market reports of the Chicago
Chonicle, the new Democratic paper,
which is supposed to take the place Of the
Times, which was bought up year ago
on account of its tendency toward Popu-
lism. The market reporter for the Chron-
icle will probably get bounced after one
of two more truth-telling breaks like this:
'In the face of the strongest price
Strengthening conditions, a steady slump
in grain quotations has been manifested
for weeks. Reasons for the paradox have
been freely advanced but It now develops
that the artificial decline was largely, if
not entirely, brought about by a strong
combination of the big elevator men Of
Chicago, Minneapolis and Duluth, three
cites controlling one-half of the country's
grain. The objects Of this alleged triple
alliance are to make storage rates and
also to buy grain at the unnaturally low
prices prevailing, SO as to profit by the in
evitable increase, leaving the farmer, of
course, poorer than ever.
"The elevator combination has corps
of crop experts which sends full private
advices as to crop conditions. From the
duluge of messages givin to the public in
the last six or eight weeks there is room
for the assumption that perhaps some Of
this information was sent here for a pur-
pose. The great bulk of the news has
been on the bear side Of the market The
elevator interests here and in the North
west possess unlimited credit and wealth.
Money has been plentiful in the banks,
and it was easy to borrow at low rates all
the capital necessary in the endeavor to
bring the new wheat crop to accumula-
tive centers."

Many of the contributions to the
Forum are too long. In the future we
must insist that they be made shorter.
Most of them could be condensed into
eco words. If this is done it will en-
able the REPRESENTATIVE to print
more and greater variety. Here
after the shorter letters will be
given preference. Write them on one
side of the paper only. II written on
both sides they will not be printed un-
der any circumstances.
Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely to-
gether. A plainly written letter con-
forming to these rules will stand by far
the best chance to be printed.
Within certain proper limitations
we admit the widest liberty of thought
and expression upon the part Of our
CORRESPONDENTS, while we do not hold
ourselves responsible for any views
which may be put forth. +
The Forum, as it's name implies, Is

the Insurer, as shylock is universally held
To uinur

the usurer, as Shylock is universally held
up to our view.
1t may be objected that Shakespeare
intended to present the Jew as an ex-
ample of man who drove hard bar
gains, as is often the case with money
loaners when dealing with dependent
borrowers. If there had been visible in
the bond transaction, present or re-
mote advantage, in money or in anything
else, to Shylock, then I could see some
force to the suggestion. But all this is
anting,-nothing was fed but his ere
venge;" and even here 1t was purely per-
sonal to himself. Aside from gratifica-
ton to this spirit so rife with malice and
hatred, no being on earth was peculiarly
benefitted,-no faith advanced only
one personal enemy among thousands de-
stroyed-and to crafty this hate, and to
secure this end, this representative, as
the world will have it, of supreme greed
and avarice, was willing, nay determine
ed, to forego, not only his original loan
of 5000 ducats, but accretions In the sum
of 5000 for their use for 80 days-a sum
far in excess of the widest dream of the
most unconscionable usurer since the
food. In fact, this avaricious gormand,
we are asked to believe, absolutely
threw away over $4,000 in our equation
to earn the title of being the worlds rep
resentative of inordinate greed!
If / am right in this diagnosis of the
character of Shakespeare's Shylock, our
writer's and orators must cease in holding
Shylock out as an exceptional usurer, but
rather as the ideal personification of that
evil passion minated-REVENGE

SMALLER PROFITS-LOWER
WAGES.

To the Editor of the American.
Dear Sir: Our gold monometall.c ad-
versaries have been driven to the dema-
gogic method of an appeal to class preju-
dice and are seeking to enlist the labor
ing masses in favor of goldmonometal-
lism by the assertion that, while the gold
policy will destroy the profits Of industry
through the effect of falling prices, labor
ers will reap the benefit of their employ
ers' losses.
Labor has on many occasions made just
complaint over an unfair division of
profits, but no enterprise will be long con-
Quoted at loss; therefore, II there is to
be an increase of wages. it must be from
the profit Of business. The contention of
labor is for a greater proportion in the
division of profits.
Without now occupying space to dis
cuss the fallacy of this claim, that the
fall of prices benefits labor, due to the
disproportionate fall of wholesale prices
at which labor must be sold, and of retail
prices at which labor must buy its neces-
stiles, wish only to inquire, what can the
5,
the very thing for division Of which he
is contending?
"Once upon time two louis went forth
to gather berries, and, after searching
long through the fields, came upon a small
patch of luscious fruit. Each began to
pick as fast as possible in order to get the
greater share, when one bethought him
that, II he should hamper his neighbor.
he would himself secure more So think.
ing, he struck into the dry grass a fire
which consumed the berries, but he found
alas, that while he had prevented his
neighbor from gathering the fruit, he too,
returned home empty-handed"
Why should the laborer desire to de-
stroy the profits of the business in which
he and his employer are alike engaged,
when their only contention is to he divi-
sion Of these very profits? When profits
have been destroyed, there will be moth
ing over which to contend.
