the bank keeping watch over the
business and noting every move
ment of it's dependents, and draw
ing interest for the entire amount
of imagionary money-which is
wind-it has put into circulation
The bank can control the business
of all borrowers of its imagiOnary
money, by refusing to renew their
loans and drive them into bank
ruptcy if they refuse to do its
bidding. The quantity of money
which flows into the bank is used
to cash checks and meet cash de-
mands that it must pay or be adj
judged insolvent.
A dearth of money enables the
bank to dominate and control every
line of business; its credit taking
the place of cash that is not to be
had, the credit or wind money of
the bank being a perpetual interest
drawer from the hands of industry,
while holding an option power over
the business of every borrower.
These are the hidden reason for
the contention of this class against
the reconciliation of silver, and
not that silver isn't as good money
as gold. Replace the outlawed
silver with a like volume of gold
and the same class of sharks would
oppose its being coined for circula-
ton as strenuously as they are
now struggling against silver which
has been the money of the world
for ages, till within few years.
The European gold ring is buying
upall the gold as fast as the bullion
is put on the market, or as fast as
it comes from the mines and storing
it away to prevent it being coined
and increasing the volume of money
in circulation.
The quantity of money in actual
circulation governs prices. This
principle is as well established as
the problems of Euclid. Bank
money which is credit, intangible
does not establish prices. 1t gives
the markets spasmotic, galvanic
rise and fall alternately, and pro-
duces a feverish condition of
business that is never stable, con-
verting honest business into specu-
lating and gambling, breeds panics
and unsettles business generally.
These are the reasons, but they
are kept concealed, that influence
the above named class in their
desperate opposition to silver. The
reasons they offer the public are
false, senseless and will not bear
examination.

The True Reason.

1t is not the reconciliation of
silver per Sc the gold ring and
banking ring oppose. They would
as strenuously contend against the
same amount, additional of gold
being added to the volume of money
in circulation. 1t is the increase of
money they are opposing. While
the money of circulation can be
kept down to its present small
volume, prices of property of all
kinds will be kept down and the
value of debts, interest and salaries
will be correspondingly increased.
Their purchasing power increases
as the price of property declines.
When actual money is scarce, if
business is transacted at all it must
depend mainly ON borrowed credit
from the banks. Bank credits, no
matter how largely used to tran
sact business on, add nothing to
the volume of money in circulation.
Bank credit is loaned at a heavy
interest, the borrower having only
that windy, unsubstantial money
to represent his deposit in bank.
He cancels his obligations by trans
ferring this intangible, unreal
money to his creditors, who in turn
have the same windy article shifted
on the bank ledger to their credit,

Judge rIason's Fears Well Founded.

Judge Mason of Virginia said in
his objections to the Federal Con-
ventiOn;
'"This government will commence
a moderate aristocracy; it is at
present impossible to fOresee
whether it will in its operation,
produce a monarchy, or corrupt,
tyrannical, oppressive aristocracy;
it will most probably vibrate some
years between the two and then
terminate in one or the other"
That the government is at pre-
sent a corrupt, tyrannical, oppres-
sive aristocracy," no one who has
taken careful note of events for the
last decade will deny, and especially
under Cleveland's present admin
istration, the prophetic words of
Judge Mason have acquired a realiza-
ton they never had before. Num-
bers of the New York money arts
tocracy are signing for an establ-
ished aristocracy or monarchy and
some of them come near expressing
the wish that Cleveland might seize
the reins of government as Louis
Napoleon did. But patriotism has
not yet been crushed out of the
people by oppression and poverty,
to warrant such coup de tate,
though the more out spoken and
reckless ones among the money
class openly express the hope.

Tribute to EngIand's Money Lords.

During so years the country has
paid tribute of over 1000, 900, 900
to Europe's money lords on secur-
tiles held against us.-MOre than
1897 200, 900 was required last year.
The question is asked by the paper
which presents the table showing
the drain on our resources each
year of the so, how much longer
can we pay this tribute to English
owners of our railroads, stock farms,
manufactures and breweries and
have any wealth left for our own
citizens?
That is a question of endurance
with our people. But we can
answer to a certainty they will con-
tinue to pay to these foreign money
lords so long as the people vote
either of the two old parties in
control, whose leaders are owned
by those aliens. That is as sure as
the stars revolve in the courses.
When we have money enough in
this country to pay for and own
our railroads, stock farms, manu-
factories and breweriesn and no
occasion to borrow from foreigners
to enable us to own those industries
and develop others, then the drain
will begin to slacken and finally
cease. The gold money system is
the prime cause of all this ruinous
drain of wealth from our people and
it will continue as long as the
system is continued. If we had an
American financial system such as
the Peoples party are contending
for the drain of wealth to foreign
countries would soon cease.

"Silver craze" is one of the stock,
clap trap phrases of the goldbuggers,
and bids fair to take the first place
in their slang vocabulary, and even
crowd "sound money" to the rear.
The worst ''craze'' ever this
nation had was the gold craze.
$3.50, 100000 are sent over to Eng
land every year to pay interest and
dividends on the debts the gold
ring has got upon this nation and
people, and it all grew out of the
gold craze.

Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Shingle was
on a train going west and when near that
MACE attempted, while standing on top oil
a box car, to tighten brake, when his
br ake-stick broke and he fell between the
cars of the moving train. As be fell he
must have struck his forehead, for there
was An ugly cash above the eyes. The
skull. however. was not fractured. His left
leg was crushed from the knee down,
showing that the wheels of the car had
nassed over it. There were no other in
iuries to be seen on the mans body except
a few slight cuts and bruises, and as neith-
or the wound on his forehead nor the
crush of his leg was sufficient to cause
death. he probably died from the shock OF
the accident After he was taken from
under the train he lived about thirty min
utes. The deceased leaves wife and five
sons, the eldest of whom is IL years old and

Fire Cambria Township.

On Sunday evening about Z O'Clock
William Maxim, who resides on what is
known as the Evan r. Bennett farm, about
three miles north of EbenSburg, discovered
smoke issuing from the roof of his dwelling
in the opposite end from the chimney. A
hasty investigation disclosed the fact that
a fire was raging in the attic and as there
were none of the family at home but him
self. and no water but few buckets in the
spring he knew that there was no poSSl-
bility of saying the house. He gave
the farm bell a few taps and then went to
work to throw out the furniture, clothing.
etc. A number of Ieighbors and people
who were passing on the public road near
by gathered to his assistance and most OF
the furniture was gotten out but in badly
wrecked cOnditiOn.
Five bedSueads, a large box containing
all the best clothing of the family, and "a
number of other articles were destroyed
There was no insurance on the contents
of the house and the loss Is a severe one to
MFR. Maken, as he was burned out three
wears ago and at that time lost everything.
The house was log building, erected
many years ago and belonged 10 the heirs
of the late Evan K. Bennett.
