OUR finanCiers gravely tell us that
money panlcs result from unavoid-
able causes and must be expected to
occur periodically at regular inter
walls; and a large portion OF the peO-
Pile believe this nonsense. Those
who study the subject will learn that
paniCs are made to order by the
money-mongera Everyone that has
occurred has been for the accom-
plishment Of some specific purpose
through which these whelpg have
made fortunes. The instrument by
which these psnics are made is me-
talliC money, which, being limited in
quantity, and an increase Of it being
impossible, is readily OOrnered and
controlled. If We would avoid psnicS
we must make money Of a material
that is unlimited in quantity and can
not be Cornered. Venice, for more
than 600 years, avoided these Calami-
ties by the abandonment Of metallic
money and the adoption of q system
Of national credits in all commercial

A HOPEFUL INDICATION.

One of the chief reasons why pub
lie sentiment has not hitherto
changed more rapidly along the
lines of modern economic thought
has been the difficulty of reaching
the public with modern ideas. The
press Of the two old political parties
has always sought to distort and mis-
represent these ideas, and the masses
of the people have suffered them
selves to be deceived by these willing
tools of a rapidly'growing monied
aristocracy. At the same time the
reform press which has been estab"
lishsd with the especial view OF
propagating modern ideas has been
Of slow growth and limited circuls-
tion. It is a hopeful sign, therefore,
when journals that circulate among
class of people who do not read these
reform papers publish such matters
as the following taken from the June
number of the Medical World, Of
Philadelphia, Pa:
OURSELVES AND OUR FRLLoW CGTIzREs.
Yes, the poor must pay the ta1es, and,
il seems, bear all other burdens. We saw
last month how indirect taxes bear chiefly
on the poor; those who have read, "If
Christ came TO Chicago" see how the own
ers Of those immense buildings and other
valuable real estate in Chicago, escape, By
undsrvsluRtion, the larger part Of their just
share of direct taxation. The holdings Of
small holders are also underValued, but TO
a far less degree-and that is the way the
shifting from rich TO poor is done. The
figures from Mr.. Sbead's book show that
while modest dwelling is assessed at from
one-half to one-fOurth its actual value, the
large buildings are assessed at from one
tenth TO one-tWentieth Of their actual value.
soyou see how the modest homes are bur
dened far in excess of the stately mansions
and large business buildings. What is true
in Chicago is true, but in less degree let
US hope, in other parts of the country.
Wealth is power, and wealth uses It's power
10 protect and increase itself. II does not
bear its just share Of the expenses Of the
government, because it is able to avoid the
same; and it does not scTupls to do 80. IL
should have less power or more conscience.
How can We annul the former or supply the
latter?
The inoome-taX law was good one, if il
could be enforced in it's entirety;
An income tax is the most easily paid Of
all taxes, because if there is no income there
is no tax; if there is sn income, that very
fact makes ii easy 10 pay the ta1-but 1t
should be on all Glasses of incomes. How
can the incomes from bonds or lands be
reached? The courts seem determined 10
protect them. Other interests and other
classes Of citizens have no special probeo-
tion. However much the prices Of products
may be depressed, the producer must ''take
his medicine" However hard the condi-
tions Of labor become, the laboHer must moi
strike or even complain; be is advised Ia
submit quietly and "take his medicine" /"

George Gould has created new Office,

The Church Union, q religious papSr
