INCREAsE In GOLD Ourprr.


The New York Post notes an increase
of the gold output of s11,OOO,OOO over
that of the previous year, or a total of
1881, $4,000, The Post says that this is
dismal news for the 16 to l silverites,
some of whom are now asking what the
gOldbugs will do if the production be-
comes excessive and the prices of COM
modities rise in consequence" Then
you admit, do you, that a plentiful sup
ply of money will cause a rise in the
price of commodities? You have been
denying this all along with the energy
OF a pile-driver. You have said that
the rise would be more apparent than
real. You yellow metal conspirators
will hlunder onto the truth occasional
~. But if there should be an excessive
yield of gold, The Post says "the gold
bugs will not demOnetize gold, however
plentiful it may become; they will grin
and bear it. j" Then all your yawp about
the dishonest of the creditor class de-
string to pay their debts in deprecated
money has been arrant hypocrisy, has
it? You have no objection to a depre-
ciated currency if it is a deprecated
gold currency, if your words mean any
thing. You are simply a gold worship
per; dishonest financial knave OF a
muttering financial idiot. We serious.
ly object to a deprecated currency, be
it gold, silver or paper. We want
dollar that is worth 100 cents to a dol
lar, and if we did not believe that a silver
dollar, under free coinage, would be
worth that, we would oppose free coin
age. But The Post knows that gold
will never be mined in sufficient guam
titles to furnish an adequate currency
for the transaction of the business of
the world, and it knows that if it we're,
the goldbugs of today would wage just
as fierce a war against it as they are
now waging against silver, and their
most cantankerOus mouthpiece would
be the hypocritical New York Post.

WAR DECLARED IN KANSAS.

Kansas is threatened with another
dire calamity. This time it is not
drOuth, grasshoppers, ohinch bugs OF
prohibition, but something more to be
dreaded than all of the ten plaques of
Egypt. The women of Kansas have
just issued a proclamation of non
intercourse. as a punishment of the
perVerseness Of the men, who mOnopo-
LIE the glory of sitting on juries,
playing policemen, packing caucuses
and bOssing elections.
At the annual picnic of the Equal
Suffrage association, held at Topeka
last Wednesday, the following resolu
lions we're adopted with shrek and
agurgle:
Whereas 1900 Kansas men declared them
selves against female suffrage at the late
election and 3l,O00 showed their OPPOSITION by
remaining silent be it
Resolved, That it is the duty of every self.
respecting woman in the state of Kansas to fold
her hands and refuse to help any religious,
charitable or moral reform OF political associa.
ton until the men of the state shall strike the
adjective male" from the suffrage clause of
the constitution, and thereby declare that
women S opinions shall be respected and counted
at the ballot box as are all mems opinions out
side the state pententiary, the idiot and lunatic
asylum.
Here is threat that will strike ter
rOr into the heart of every man who
depends upon woman to cook his
meals, darn his socks and provide all
the comforts of home in this world,
and work out his salvation for the
next. The originator Of this embargo
is said to be our ancient and respected
friend, Susan B. Anthony, whose lifes
mission has been to emancipate woman
from the CALLING yoke of male oppres-
sion.
But the question is, will the women
of Kansas be able to fold their hands
and keep them folded until they are
allowed to vote? WIN they carry out
this interdiet TO its logical conclusion?
If the coercion Of the unregenersts
Kansas Turk is the real object Of this
resolution, it should not have stopped
short Of an absolute boycott. Why
should the smbattled woman Of Kansas
refrain from charity and church work
and keep on with her drudgery in the
kitchen? Why should the women
board and lodge their sons, brothers,
husbands and fathers so long as they
are der 80 Eheir sacred rights to carry

The National Educational association
spent considerable valuable time in
disposing of the Indian question, at
their meeting in Denver last week.
From some slight acquaintance with
poor 10, and from assOciating with
those who have been intimate with the
noble redman we would suggest whisky
and prussic acid as the agents that
would solve the question with expedi-
ency and dispatch.

BLASTS FROM RAMS HORN.

A hobby never has a sore back.
Success is always sure, when we are willing to
pay the price.
A hyyocrite never fools anybody else as bad as
he does himself.
There ere people who have a great deal of
religion, but no love.
Standing up for prayers means little, unless
the heart gets on its knees.
There are people who hate a thief, who Dor
row books and never return them.
The father should fear to walk where it would
not be safe for his children to travel.

IN any other way, he sometimes joins the choir
Anybody can be pleasant to pleasant people,
but It takes grace to be pleasant to unpleasant
people.

The real feeling that England has
toward America cropped out in the
recent boat race between the Oxford
and Cornell crews. I'D Ameri-
cans" was what they called the Cornell
boys, and at night these loving English
cousins stripped the stars and stripes
from the flag pole at the Cornell boat
house. The truth about the matter is
that an Englishman has an undying
hatred against anything American ex-
cept American dollars. All the loving
and friendly speeches ever made viii
never make England any less a foe to
America.

4 GROWING EvFL

among wealthy Americans to expatriate
themselves from the land Of their birth
and the country that has and still does
produce the wealth they scatter with
such lavish hand among the trades
men Of foreign countries. It is esti-
mated that this class will spend
sT5,OOO,OOO Of haTd-earned American
dollars in Europe this summer alone.
This vast amount Of wealth viii have
TO be drawn from the producers and
stoEehouses of America with no hope
of even a small portion of it ever re-
turning.
One of the greatest evils Of this
country lies in this parasite class that
consumes the natural wealth of Amer
lea and the toll of its producers, giving
no return and contributing nothing
toward maintaining the government
that is expected to defend their rights
abroad and protect their interests at
home. Their ever increasing, rapacious
appetite demanding more from nature,
more from the tOiling millions of
America each year that their Unsuitable
cravings for the extravagant and costly
luxuries of foreign lands may be ap-
peased.
It was for this class of drones that
the United States supreme court stul-
titled itself and assumed perOgatives
for which the constitution gave them
no authority. in handing down an ad-
verse decision the late income tax
cases. 1t was this very class that the
law was intended to operate upon, a
class that is notorious for its tax dodg-
ing and its penchant for distributing
its wealth abroad.
By what right do they assume the
privilege to enjoy the fruits of other
mems labor, and to live in luxury while
others toll? By what right do they
seek to force the producer to
pay the expenses of government at
all times and to defend their country
with his Hfe's blood in time of war,
while they are exempt?
There is only one answer to those
questions: The right that gave Jesse
James the power to rob trains, banks
and private individuals, the right by
which the lion takes his prey.
Strong as wealth is, powerful as is its
control of state and national govern
ment, the amalgamated people are yet
stronger, and the very fact that the
masses have submitted so long to this
injustice, will make the ins2rrection
more terrible and demands of justice
more severe.
Pessimists may talk Of peaceful re-
construction and amiable settlement
of differences, but those who have
watched the events of ages know that
at the best downtrodden men are ter
rible in retribution and severe in de-
handing atOnement for the wrongs and
hardships that have been put upon
them.
The American aristocracy is stand
ing upon the brink of unrelenting JUS
tice, they will soon be called upon to
give an account of what they have done
with the years of toll and the fruits of
the earth that they have so long drawn
from the American nation and squan-
dered with such prOdigality upon the
pampered slaves of alien lands.
Their action in putting this drain
upon the people is nothing less than
crime, each trip to Europe felony as
long as the gold required has been
secured from the sweat of another
mans face and the privations of his
family.

THERE is strong talk in the east of
increasing the army and navy, and the
people had better look sharp or this

people, like that which is sucking the

would toll the knell of liberty and the
demise of freedom.
