The people of the United States are
under the rule of the political bosses,
always have been and always will be
unless the masses decide to take
greater interest In practical politics.
The boss rules because he grasps the
scepter and nobody objects. His reign
is a usurpation, and is possible simply
because Of his impudence and the luke
warmness Of the people in asserting
their rights. There is an occasional
revolt like that in Pennsylvania against
Quay, but the result usually is that one
boss is deposed and another enthroned.
This Is the outcome for the reason that
the revolt is not by the people at large
but that Of one political faction against
another faction. 1t is never an upris-
ing Of the people at large; and better
things cannot be hoped for until voters
as mass, the common millions, assert
their power In politics and transform
politics from professional game to a
strict, common matter OF business. The
boss Is sure to come to grief sooner or
later for he constantly grows more ar
rogant and tyrannical; but while his
downfall may be source Of satisfac-
ton. the people are not benefited, for
while the boss goes, his methods re-
main.-Voice.

What MIR. Harvey SAYS.

In speaking of the manner in which
the silver dollar was destroyed in 1873,
Mr.. Harvey, in the Horr-Harvey de-
bate in Chicago, chases the culprit
in the vicinity of John Sherman's domi-
cile. Mr.. Harvey said:
Il want every man and woman in
American, who wish to preserve free
government to this republic, to read
the Congressional Record, giving the
words uttered in the senate on Jan. II,
1873. 1t shows that the silver dollar
was in the bill that came from the
house that was to put us on the French
ratio, and that the senate agreed to it.
Mr.. Sherman himself extolled it and
said that it was a dollar that would
float around the world. This dollar
was agreed to by both houses and was
in the bill when it went to the confer
ence committee. The duty of the con-
ference committee was to settle dis
puted questions on which the two
houses had disagreed. The silver dol
lar was not one of the questions on
which the two houses had disagreed
and yet the bill turns up enrolled, with
the silver dollar erased from the bill by
the conference committee. Senator
Sherman and Mr.. Hooper of the house
handled the bill, and these two men OF
corrupt clerk made the omission
The significance Of this can best be
understood when say that these men
represented that they were re-enacting
the law of 1853, except in changing the
size of the silver dollar and the Law
of 1852, the silver dollar only had free
access to the mint"

NUMBER II.

to pay taxation, running expenses, and
interest on bonds. All of these must
be paid before the stockholder receives
dividend.
Taxation can be reduced but little.
Interest charges cannot be reduced at
all. To reduce operating expenses is
the only way of eeonomizing. There
is but one way to do this; that is,
diminish the amount paid to employees.
By discharging some, reducing salaries
Of others, and working less hours, the
payroll is made smaller.
A reduction in revenue has forced the
road to economic. This diminution OF
revenue has been brought about In two
ways. When the prices of farm prod
ucts fall below a certain point, ship
ments stop unless freight rates are
lowered The expense to the road can
not be lessened except by reduction
of its payroll.
The low price for products furnishes
the producer less money, consequently
he must economize. He cannot buy so
large quantity of manufactured prod
ucts, and the road has less freight to
haul to the farming districts. therefore
less number of employees to operate
its lines is required. Labor, in both or
these cases, has been the sufferer.
Now let the opposite condition pre-
vail. Higher prices for products not
only allows the road to raise its freight
rates, but production itself is stimu-
lated, giving the road a larger volume
of business. The employees are put on
full time. Salaries are raised to the
old point and more men employed. The
payroll can be increased and the road
still make a profit, because not only
has the business from the farming dis
tricts increased, but the farmer having
more money is able to buy more manu-
factured articles, which increases busi-
ness toward the farming district.
| That the manufacturer and his en-
ployes would be benefited by increased
| sales of their products is obvious, as
the one would sell more goods, the other
get steady employment and increased
wages, and of the three parties affected,
labor would receive the largest por-
tion.

A SHAM BATTLE.
The Money Power Can Control Both
Silver and Gold.

The Money Power Can Control Both
Silver and Gold.
Current Voice: The money power in
control Of this country is not idiotic
1t is of the highest intelligence.
1t is satisfied that the people will have
silver. But it is making fight against
silver, and making the issue, hoping
to engage the attention of the people on
this matter, and keep them from con-
sideration Of fiat money. The fellow
who argues for the reconciliation
of silver argues for metallic basis, and
commodity value in the substance on
which money should be stamped.
This argument will so educate and
commit the people to intrinsic value
of money that it will take long time
to correct this and educate the people
to government paper fiat money.
So long as the money power can con-
fine primary money to metal-so long
as redemption money is stamped on
metal, this power holds its control.
With the present concentrated for
tunes it is easy for this power to con-
more easily control both metals than
could one in 1873.
This power can buy up all the sill
yer mines in the United States and
Mexico, stop the mining, let the smelt-
ers go out of blast. Silver can be
mined and smelted only at a great cost.
This is an industry that cannot be
entered into by individuals with small
capital. The capital for silver mining
will be withheld; and the output of sill
yer practically stopped. And for at
least another twenty years this money
power will have absolute control of the
finances of the country. 1t is only an
other sham battle that tho money pow
er is fighting on the silver issue.
We Populists must not forget that
the only permanent settlement, and ra-
tional solution of the money question
is in paper currency issued by the
government.

Wonderful Prosperity.

In all lines of trade throughout the
land comes cheerful news OF laboring
men receiving employment In great
numbers. With labor comes cheerful
ness and courage, and prosperity beams
upon us. The bountiful harvest OF 1885
will be blessing in many ways. The
laboring classes will share in the whole
sale benediction Of the year 1885,
Trades Review.
Think of it, Many laboring men are
actually getting employment.
What luxury untold
Who ever heard of laboring men ac-
tually getting work?
Cheer upi
Some of them are liable even to get
real jobs.
Some of them are liable even to get
hold of a dollar.
If you are hungry and out Of job
why just read the papers Of the pros
perity whoopers, laugh and grow fat.
Your turn to get days work may
come any time-and then you will get
your name in the papers as one Of the
fortunate sons of toll who has discov-
cred job right here in America where
capital thought 1t had all the jobs cor
nered.
Capital has been enjoying all the
work for so long it is refreshing to know
that even some of the laboring men are
to be allowed the glorious privilege Of
working.
And the laboring classes are actually
going to get "a share" of the glorious
prosperity that is beaming upon us.
The "laboring classes" will share
with the idle classes.
| Isn't this delightful news?
| Everybody knows it is time-honor-
ed and golden-whiskered custom for the
idle classes to appropriate all prosper
| ity to themselves-but the times are
getting so "exhuberantly splendiferous"
that the laboring classes are to be given
share of what they produce.
Oh my! Oh my! What happy day
is dawning.
Blessed be the man that invented
jobs.
Now IL the laboring man don't go TO
work and cause an overproduction of
prosperity, and the capitalists don't
create an overproduction of jobs, the
country is saved.
whoopee!

Contraction DID IT.

Mr.. Harvey experienced the difficult
ties of single silver plank when it
came to comparison of prices. He had
to begin in 1873, the year of the panic
brought on by currency contraction. In
his discussion with Horr he ignored the
fact Of the $50 per capita of money in
1856, or counting the northern people
alone among whom it circulated almost
exclusively, about $50 per capita. He
got away with Horr but would have
made a much stronger case il he had set
forth the deadly work of currency con,
traction for the seven years previous to
the demonetization Of silver. General
prices continued to decline as the
money volume became less until 1878.
when the destruction of greenbacks
was stopped and silver was partially
remonetized, when the fall in prices was
checked, except as to the great staples
of wheat and cotton, which were af-
fected by the price of silver bullion and
continued to fall with the price Of un.
coined silver.-Mo. World.
