Get Together.

There is nothing which plutocracy
so much fears as intelligent organiza-
ton Of the farmers for political eff
fort.
The individual is easily overwhelmed
by an organized power and 1t is by a
practical appliance of this fact that cor
porations are domineering every legal
authority in the land.
1t is through ignorance Of this fact,
that unorganized farmers are being one
by one turned out of their homes.
Old party speakers are never found
advocating organization among the
farmers, yet they are never found con-
demning the organization of bankers
and spectators.
This is illustrated very forcibly by
the attitude Of Secretary Morton of Ne
braska, as presented on two different
occasions.
From his speech in this city, Oct. 16,
1893, we clip the following advice to
the farmers:
LESS legislation and more learn
ing, less gregariousness and more indi-
Viduality, less dependence upon asso-
citation with the alliances and the gran
gers, and more self-reliant independ-
ence, based upon acquired facts, is a fair
statement of the interests Of the farm
err"
This same Secretary Morton in refer
ring to the communication of J. R.
Buchanan, writes John Dewitt Warner
as follows:
my object in sending you this letter
Of Mr.. Buchanan is to give you a thor
ough business mans view Of the situa-
ton. The letter shows how fallacies
flourish among the farmers Of the west
and south. The letter also points out
to you the necessity of immediate co.
herent and organized action in behalf
Of sound money" This now is his ad-
vice to the bankers.
Individual action for the farmer, but
coherent organization" for the specu-
lators.
When Morton gives advice concern
ing organized effort, it is all owing to
who will be benefited what that advice
will be.
Organization among the farmers new
er fails to secure the downfall of such
fellows as this Secretary Morton.
It is through the organized strength
Of corporations that he holds position
and power.
Every association of the farmers has
led toward industrial liberty and this
fact should not be overlooked.
The watchword must be Organize
and educate"
There is no good reason why farmers
should permit themselves to be forever
the prey of designing politicians.
While they continue to "go it alone"
they will remain the easy victims Of
organized spectators.
This is a question Of vast import and
one that cannot long be ignored.
The farmers must get together or be
one by one crushed down by organized
greed.
Bankers and spectators never fail to
vote together when their interests are
at stake.
There is but one hope and that is "ges
together. Chicago Express.

Show This To Your Minister.

Bearing in mind that what is meant
by usury in the Bible is the taking OF
increase for the loan of money, read the
following texts and ask your pastor to
preach on the Bible doctrine of usury:
If thou lend money to any Of my peo-
pie that Is poor by thee, thou shalt not
be to him usurer, neither shalt thou
lay upon him usury.-Exodus xii:
1925.
And If thy brother be waxen poor,
and fallen in decay with thee, then thou
shalt relieve him; yea, though he be a
stranger or a sojourner, that he may
live with thee. Take thou no usury of
him, or increase; but fear thy God; that
thy brother may live with thee. Thou
shalt not give him thy money upon
usury, or lend him thy victuals for in
crease.-Leviticus XIV: 1881
Thou shalt not lend upon usury to
thy brother; usury Of money, usury OF
Victuals, usury Of anything that is
lent upon usury.-Deuteronomy xiii:
10.
And there was a great cry Of the peo-
pie and of their wives against their
brethren the Jews. For there were that
said: We, our sons and our daughters
are many; therefore we take corn for
them that we may eat and live. Some
also there were that said, we have mort
gagged our land, vineyards and houses,
that we might buy corn because Of the
dearth. There were also that said, We
have borrowed money for the kings
tribute, and that upon our lands and
vineyards. Yet now our flesh is as the
flesh Of our brethren, our children as
their children; and 10, we bring into
bondage our sons and our daughters to
be servants, and some Of our daughters
are brought into bondage alreadyi

The Main Issue.

Never since the war has there been
more discussion of the money question
than during the past three months.
The free coinage champions are the
most enthusiastic, active and agrees
Bive, and representing the views Of a
large majority of the people, naturally
their meetings are the largest, their
books are most widely read, and sue
cess seems already within their grasp.
But the gold standard fellows are ac-
tive too. They are long-headed
schemers, and working hand in hand
with the leaders of the two old political
parties, they expect to divide the silver
vote so that the minority may rule.
1t seems absurd, but the handful Of
gold-bugs opposed to the people have
as the matter now stands better show
Of winning than have the silver men
backed by the sentiment of the masses
Of the American people.
That is because sentiment won't elect
silver men. 1t requires silver votes, all
cast for the same set of candidates, 10
elect silver men. Democratic and Re-
publican silver men will throw their
votes away trying to reform the two
gold-bug parties. The Populists are
solid for silver, and will not fuse with
either old party to help elect gold-bus
officials. So that as it now stands the
silver men are in three camps and the
gold-bugs are practically unit, having
control Of both old parties, and being
sure Of getting their own candidates
elected, If they can only manage to
keep the silver men from boiling their
parties.
The gold-bugs assume all virtue, and
their cry Of Sound money" is only a
catch phrase by which they will try to
dodge the question.
There can be no doubt of the honest
intentions Of the silver men, and no
doubt that they consider independent
bimetallism the best means Of securing
Sound money" in sufficient quantity to
transact the business Of the country.
The talk of international bimetallism
is a farce, and the question must be
decided for America by Americans only
The silver men have the best Of the
argument and the majority Of the peo-
pie on their side. Now If they will only
vote together the thing is settled, and
the howl Of the money brokers may 90
on forever.

A Primary Lesson in Finance.

A bright boy whose father is one OF
fortunes faVorites, finds among the
other presents in his stocking on
Christmas morning a $40 national bank
note on the Third National Bank Of
Chicago, Ill. At the breakfast table
the boy begins to ask questions about
the bill:
what is 1t good for?"
THAT is money, my son. 1t will buy
anything you want"
"But what makes it any better than
any other piece Of paper?"
Because the government says 1t is
good. You can see the signatures Of
the register of the treasury and the
treasurer of the United States on it"
what did they sign it for?"
ITO know that the government stands
good for 1t and will see that the prom
lse on its face is kept"
what promise?"

dollars"
els that what It is?"
Eyes. It is a promise to pay money,
and not money itself, strictly speak

Then the bank sends out these
promises to pay money!"
THAT Is 1t exactly"
What makes people take them?"
"oh, everybody is glad enough to get
them, because they can buy anything
they want with them, and the govern
nents guarantee makes 1t sure that no
'ne will lose anything on them."

them; for other men have our lands ana

learned their cry and these words.
Then l consulted with myself and re-
buked the rulers and the mobiles and
said unto them, Ye exact usury, every
one Of his brother. And I set a great
assembly against them. And I said
unto them, we after our ability have
redeemed our brethren the Jews, wnicn
were sold unto the heather and will We
sell even your brethren? or shall they
be sold unto us? Then held they their
peace and found nothing to answer.
And said, 1t is not good that We do;
ought we not to walk in the fear Of our
God, because Of the reproach of the
heather, our enemies? likewise, and
my brethren and my servants, might

you let us leave of this usury. Restore,

mo, indeed. Whatever put such ar
idea into your head? Banks couldn't
do 1t If 1t wasn't for the law"
well, why does the law let some
folks promises to pay go for money
and not others?"
Because the folks who make these
promises to pay are rich and have lots
of money Of their own"
"oh, then, it is on the principle that
to him that hath shall be given"
mo, not that, but they use their
money to buy government bonds and
then put the bonds into the hands of
the secretary of the treasury and he
gives them the notes."
"Oh, they trade off the bonds for
notes and the government gets out of
paying out any more interest on the
bonds it takes in"
mot so fast, you young flnancier.
The government only holds the bonds
to make sure that the bills will be paid.
1t keeps on paying interest on them
just the same as If the bankers held
them"
well, I suppose that is fair. The
banker gets interest on the government
bonds but he has to pay interest to the
people who take these notes of his for
what they have to SELL"
Wrong again; you seem bound to
get the cart before the horse. The
people who get these notes from the
banker pay him interest for the use of
them"
What! Pay him interest because
they take the promises to pay"
THAT is exactly what they do. The
promises to pay circulate as money and
they pay interest for the use of the
money"
1T seems to me that is getting the
cart before the horse. When you make
a note in promise to pay money don't
you have to pay interest on it to get
anyone to take it and let you have any
thing for it?"
Eyes, but in the case Of the banks it
is different"
you bet! I should say it was differ
ent. The banks draw interest on their
notes and you pay interest on yours"
"You are getting 1t straight now"
"But isn't bank note a debt lust
the same as your note? Don't it show
that the bank owes SO many dollars to
the man who has it.
Come right down to the point of the
matter, l guess that is about the size
of it."
"Then as you pay interest on what
you owe, the more you owe the poorer
you are, but with a bank it is different.
They get interest on what they owe
and the more they owe the more money
they make"
II suppose that is true, too"
"Pa, when grow up amt going to
sell groceries like you. / am going to

The following from the Boston Her.
aid shows the crafty trickery of the
hireling political liar:
IF the matter were more serious i,
would be subject for annoyance and
regret that in the debate going on be-
tween Hon. Roswell Horn of Michigan
and w. H. Harvey of Illinois, the au-
thor Of Coins Financial School" the
sound money side Of the argument
should be taken by one so little fitted
as the eX-congressman of Michigan for
the discussion of the financial ques-
ton. AS humorous stump speaker
Mr.. Horn has few equals, but the cur
rency question is not problem that
can be settled by joke or humorous
figure Of speech. Mr.. Harvey is a
plausible writer, skillful dealer in
half truths, and so far as study Of the
subject is concerned, must be many
times the superior of his opponent in
range and variety Of information. To
have a man put up in public debate
which is advertised all over the coun-
try who, upon trial, shows that he can
not cope with his adversary, is, with
the unthinking at least, to cast discred-
1t upon the side which he is defend
Ing"
Oh, no! 1t was not serious matter.
Strange, however, that the goldbugs
should have made such a hullabaloo
about how they were going to break
up Coins Financial School" and stop
the "silver craze" all at one swoop.
Strange, too, that the goldbugs, hav-
ing their choice of a champion, and be-
ing themselves the challengers, should
have selected Stump speaker" like
Horn.
Were they only joking?
Did they think the SCHOOL, such
farce that jackass could bray it out Of
existence?
If the goldbugs are not posted on the
currency question, as the Herald COM
plains of Horn, then why do they set
themselves up to educate the American
people?
If their cause can't stand in debate,
why don't they just admit that they
have no cause?
Surely, with all the truth on their
side, as they claim, they ought to have
somebody with sense enough to prove
it.
Surely they are not all ignorant.
If they are, they should post up.
Maybe that after they learned some
thing about the currency question they
would be in favor of free coinage, 10
to l, without asking any other nation
on EARTH"
Most men want proof and it is SUR
prising that man should be a goldbug
or anything else and not be able to tell
why.
Certainly it will cast discredit upon
the cause Mr.. Horr advocates, with the
THINKING people, to know that he
was unable to cope with his adversary.
Mr.. Horn was, before the debate, re-
garded as the ablest defender Of gold
ocracy-and the result shows that he
had a weak cause. No doubt about his
eloquence and all that-but the truth
was on the other side, and such being
the case, no man on earth could have
downed Harvey.
