BE ON YOUR GUARD.
The Program of the Money Lenders
Foreign League.
GEORGE A. PICKETT,
Hardy, Ark.

Foreign League.
New York Recorder)
The Carlisle currency bill has been
withdrawn, and a substitute has been
offered in its place which is not sure to
pass the house, and can not possibly
pass the senate. But the discussion
OF it will not be waste of time. 1t
embodies, crudely, to be sure, and not
to the satisfaction of the banks, the
main features of the currency pro-
gram which the national bank power
has determined to force upon this
country if it can.
Briefly stated, that program is this:
To substitute a bank note currency.
to be expanded, contracted and gener-
ally manipulated by the banks, for the
governments own paper currency, is
sued in the nations name and regu-
lated by the nations representatives
IN congress assembled.
This is the eliminating aggression
OF the mighty bank power that has
been built-just like that of Great
Britain--on the foundation furnished
by our immense war debt
In 1860 the whole public debt was
but SIS, 100000, and in 1896 it was but
S37,5l3. The governments creditors
prior to the war had but little to do. if
anything, in shaping its financial pol.
ICY The war came, and by the year
1866 the public debt amounted in round
numbers to 50, 7OO,OOO,OOO. At once the
national creditors became a powerful
and influential class They were the
first people to discover that our circu.
lating medium and all the government
issues should be made payable in gold.
They insisted that the principal and
the interest of their bonds should be
paid in gold, and it was done. From
that hour there has been a continuous
fight by the wealthy money lenders,
mortgage holding classes of our own
and foreign countries, where our bonds
and securities have gone, to have all
bills OF credit, both public and private,
made payable in gold.
Thus persistent pressure has been
exerted by the International Usurers'
league to enhance the price of gold coin.
decrease the volume of our currency,
and increase the Indebtedness of our
people.
The Cleveland administration has
been from the start, and is to-day. the
political creature and cats paw of the
International Usurers' league. 1t was
in the interest of that combine Of
money lenders that it first discredited
silver and closed our silver mines, and
it is in its interest that it is now try.
ing to crowd bank note imitation bill
down the throat of congress. The
Interior purpose of that bill is to force
the retirement of all the legal tenders,
compel other and larger gold bond is.
sues and transfer the entire power of
issuing money from the peoples con.
gress to the parlors of the banks.

SOCIALISM.
A Much Misunderstood Term Briefly
Explained.

n "uch misunderstood Term Briefly
Explained.
We give these quotations merely to
show our readers what socialism
means.
The plutocratic press in attempting
to crush the Populists INDUCES in all
kinds of epithets, calling us idiots, an
archiSts and socialists indiscriminately.
Many people are led to believe that
Socialism" is some violent form of in.
sanity or total depravity.
Socialism is somewhat an ideal con.
ception of society, it is true-but it is
based on the golden rule" which
Christ advocated, nevertheless.
Don't let yourself be scared with the
shout Of socialism" 1t won't hurt
anybody but thieves and despots
The following is an extract from an
article by James G. Clarke in the Jan
nary Arena:
The term socialism" has so long
been subject to vague and conflicting
deanitions-so long misrepresented by
selfshly interested parties and misun.
derstood by others-that the following
statements by standard authorities
may serve to enlighten the public
mind
The ethics of socialism are identical
with the ethics of Christianity. -Ency-
clopedia Britannica.
The whole aim and purpose of So
cialism is closer union of social fact
ors. The present need is growth in
that direction. Prof. Richard T. Ely.
Socialism-A theory of society which
advocates more precise, orderly and
harmonious arrangement of the social
relations of mankind than that which
has hitherto prevailed. Webster.
No thinking man will controvert
that associated industry is the most
powerful agent Of production, and that
the principle of association is suscepti-
BILE of further and beneficial develop
ment. John Stuar. Mill.
The answer of socialism to the cap
italist is that society can do without
him just as society now does without
the slave owner or the feudal lord,
both of which were formerly regarded
as necessary to the well being and even
the very existence of society.-Prof.
William Clarke.
The citizens OF large nation in
dustriously organized, have reached
their possible ideal Of happiness when
the producing, distributing and other
activities are such that each citizen
finds in them place for all his ener-
gies and aptitudes, while he obtains
the means of satisf ing all his desires.
Herbert Spencer.y
Socialism is often summarily dis
missed with the remark that The
time is not ripe for it" Socialists
have no idea of harvesting a crop be-
fore it is ripe. They do contend, how
ever, that the unripeness of a crop is
no reason for notcultivating it. Social
ism being the product Of the social
evolution, the only danger lies in OBJ
structing it.-Rev. F. N. Sprague.

PATRIOTISM IN JAIL.
Ringing Words of Patriotism From

Ringing Words of Patriotism From a
Victim of Corporate ynlainy.
From the Jail at Woodstock, H., E.
v Debs has issued the following man
ifesto to the American people;
In joing to Jail for participation in
the late strike we have no apologies to
make nor regrets to express. We 60
to jail, not ike quarry slaves, but sus.
tanned by the consciousness that we
nave done our duty. No ignominy at
taches to us on account of this sen.
tence. | would not change places with
Judge Woods, and if it is expected that
SIX months or even sixyears in jail will
purge me of contempt the punishment
will fail of its purpose.
"Candor compels me to character.
ize the whole proceedings as infamous.
1t is not calculated to revive the rap.
idly failing confidence of the Ameri.
can people in the federal judiciary.
There is not a scrap of testimony to
show that one Of us violated any law
whatever. And if we are guilty Of
conspiracy why are we punished for
contempt? This question will con.
tinue to be asked with ever.increasine
emphasis.
Il would thousand times rather be
accountable for the strike than for the
decision.
The ridicule of the press that we
are posing as martyrs will not deceive
the people. We all have homes and
loved ones, and none of us is here by
choice. We simply abide by the arbi.
trary action of the courts. There is a
higher power yet to be heard from.
No corporation will influence its decis.
ion. Our cause is that of conscientious
liberty and we have an abiding faith
in the American people. We accept
our lot with becoming patience and
composure.
I'VE can afford to wait.
$50 far as am concerned l feel that
when all the circumstances are con.
sidered it would only have been dis.
graceful if we had so acquitted our.
selves as to have kept out of jail. Our
enemies are entitled to all the comfort
they can extract from our imprison-
ment, and our friends need have no
concern.
Questions Of great and grave i'm.
port arc up for decision. Great prin-
ciples involving the liberty of the
citizen are at stake. Out of all this
good will come. There is one funda-
mental, bedrock principle that the
American people will never suffer to
be sacrificed. 1t may be menaced, as
it now is, but when the high court,
we, the people, have passed final
Judgment its enforcement will be
fixed and secure for all time.
We are by chance the mere instru-
mentalities in the evolutionary pro.
cesses in operation through which in
dustrial slavery is to be abolished and
economic freedom established. Then
the starry banner will symbolic, as it
was designed to symbolic, social, DO
litical, religious and economic emanci-
patton from the thraldom of tyranny,
oppression and degradation.
