The editor of the Churubusco,
Ind, Truth, says he has read
''Coin's Financial School, and
the terminal word should be
Fool; that he is solry he read the
book and wasted SO much time
that he might have proftably
employed in playing croquet.
The Truth editor is one of those
bloated capitalists or he would
not be SO vindictively opposed to
Coins views on the financial
question.-(irove City Times.
Yes, Bro. Rea,'ick we have one
of the sane style of editors right
here in Willmar. But editors
don't write these squibs them
selves. They are written in New
York by the ''sound money
league That is what we are
told, and we know that circulars
were sent some time ago tocoun-
try editors asking for space for
their "sound money" locals.
These New Workers think the peo-
pie out here don't know beans.
Hence they send out such non
sensical "locals.' Just watch
for these :'loca]s' and you will
see certain sheets full of them.

causes are simply impossible to de-

The second is an avaricious greed
for money, which creates money and
aristOcracy. The avaricious man
uses every means iii his power to en-
rich himsel, by the need of his poorer
fellow men, and thus acts fully ac-
cording to the DEVILS maxins "your
necessity is my opportunity" The
mental and bodily weaker will thus
become the slaves of the powerful
moneyed aristocracy., In no better
way can this be expressed than by
quoting the words Of the apostle:
But they that will be rich fall into
temptation and Il snare, and into
many foolish and hurtful lusts
which drown men in destruction and
perditiOn. For the love of money is
the root Of all evil, which while some
coveted after, they have erred from
the faith, and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows"

If the editor should venture an
opinion as to the greatest evil
underlying all the others it
would be expressed by the word
Ignorance Butignorance i'm
plies and presupposes the absence
OF independent thinking not only
on political matters, but on the
effect OF personal habits, moral,
mental and material.
The effective remedy is to get
people to think for themselves,
to study causes and effects unin-
fiuenced as much as possible by
old customs and party prejudice.
This has been the great burden
OF every true reformer, human or
divine, in the worlds history.
And every defender OF class priv
leges opposes this, from Pharo's
down to our American privileged
classes. Shall we ever see the
day that the common people will
think for themselves, and uphold
a system of government that
shall meet out to every citizen
what he truly deserves?
ut is the recognized constltu-
tional duty OF government to
furnish for it's citizens a circulat-
