dynamite demolished the dook used to
load guano The railroad tracks wer o
torn up and the work Of years was laid to

The Gold Bonds

is a fair specimen of what they are
saying. We fell in with carpen.

one, who had been reading the
papers and was excited over Cleve
lands bond speculation as every
body is. He said: at is terrible
to think that some seventy millions
days work will be done by the
laboring people of these United
States for the Rothschilds for the
use of some sixty-two millions of
gold for thirty years, and then pay
the siXty-twO millions back again.
That is about what this bond issue
proposes; and we are told it is to be
repeated in few weeks if this gold
disappears from the Treasury. II

Populists' r1anifesto,

We call particular notice to the Popu
lists manifesto sent out by our Congress
men and Senators before returning to
their homes, who have stood like the
Spartan band opposing the Xerxes-like
army of the gold power which like that
Persian robber are striving to over-run,
crush and subject the people of this fair
American continent to the gold built
aristocracy of the old monarchies of the
East. For thirty years they have at
tempted to circumvent by cunning and
stealth the people they failed to enslave
by arms. The tools with which this
band of gold conspirators, the offshoots of
the crumbling thrones of the old world
have worked, have been the two old
political parties.
They have the President and his Cab
met in their power representing the DEM
ocratic party; they hope through the
republican incoming Congress and mil
lionaire Senate to complete i'll the next
two years their conquest and enslavement
of the people of the United States.
They are Strengthening the navy, striv-
ing to enlarge the army and build up
military power in every State to crush
the people if they should resist these
encroachments on their liberties.
They have artfully managed to heap
debts on the people of this country aggre-
eating THIRTY-TWO BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, and contracted the currency
which lowers the price of labor's products
making ii impossible for the people ever
to pay any more than the interest on this
colossal debt. This enslaving interest is
collected by the governments, national,
state, municipal, etc, and turned over to
the robbers who hold the evidences of
this debt which is almost entirely as
fraudulent as the gamblers winnings
The people are exhorted and warned to
break away from the old party bondage
which chained them to the chariot wheels
of the foreign conqueror and strike for
the freedom of their homes from this
bondage of debt and taxes placed on them
by the Rothschild gold ring conspiracy,

Taxing Money.

Brother Coudon of the Perryville
Record is again tempting fate by
treading on that deceitful quick
sand "taxing money" BY way of
calculation he says:
''NO one ever heard of the
claim that real estate should be
exempted because the owner there
of saw fit to keep it idle"
But it is exempt all the same.
A nominal tax is place on idle real
estate to ease the official conscience.
Who ever heard of an "idle,n
unimproved town lot being taxed
at one fourth the value it's owner
placed on it?
The above question is followed
by another equally pulling:
Gin fact why should it not be
made the greater object to tax idle
money, in the hope that such a
policy would force it out of it's
idleness 2"
But what part of the circulating
medium is idle, and who holds
money in idleness, unless very
temporarily? The individual places
his money in bank on deposit if he
doesn't happen to want to use it
'..just then" But the money does
not remain idle. The bank loans
it three or four times, and gets a
tax from the borrower every time.
The bank law allows the country
banker to loan So per cent of every
deposit, and the bank can easily
make three or four thousand dol
lars in loans out of one thousand
dollars of deposits. Is such de-
positOr's money "idle' when the
bank is loaning it for use three or
four times over? And would it be
just to tax that depositor on his
thousand dollars because he could
not use it on the very day the
assessor called and the banker
was keeping it in use! If the
bank is caught with "idle"
money, if it is in greenbacks they
are not taxable. If money that is
taxable, before the assessor arrives,
the cashier telegraphs to a stock
broker: purchase us s U. S.
bonds" The answer Games back :
"All o K" The price of the bonds
is put in box and marked to the
use of the broker. When the
assessor is gone the cashier tele-
graphs to the broker "Want to
buy s. bonds? eyes," comes
back Bonds are sold, money
unsealed and dumped into the
drawer marked ''for use.n Now.
brother Coudon, how are you going
to catch this flea? And suppose
you do catch it. Is it an ''idle'
flea or a hopping flea If the flea
is marked gu. s." you can't tax
him.
If you attempt to get out of this
financial quick sand by any scien-
titic path the old orthodox takers
will burn you at the stake. You
have heard of people getting be
tween the devil and the deep sea.
The path you are ON brother, leads
there, and there is a hole little
way ahead of you marked "Who
enters here leaves hope behind"

How They Lie!

Last year saw reduction in the men
employed of %, 900 and of the wages paid
of SIS 100000 Taking the country, the
reduction must be $50, 900 men and SI44.-
600, 900 i'll the wages Of railroad men at
work in 1893 and not in 1894. This is one
cost OF free trade policy"
The above is from an editorial of the
Philadelphia Press. The capacity for
lying these Rothscllild gold bug papers
possess must make the father of lies envy
them. While the railroad statistics OF
losses are doubtless correct as given by
the Press, Gree trade" hadn't ANYTHING
to do with the cause, and the paper
knows, as everybody with sense enough
to go III doors when it rains knows, is a
bald headed lie. We have no free trade
and everybody in the country knew we
would not have anything resembling free
trade.
To endeavor to please the Rothschild
gold ring this mercenary paper, in line
with its associates, is driven to try and
palm off such stupid lie to hide the fact,
that our contraction, robbing, gold ring
financial system is the cause and sole
cause of the present crushing conditions,
which have travelled up from the masses,
having stripped them, and is now robbing
tie grsat railroads.

Postage stamps are money and
always have been. There is no
'.intrinsic value' in postage stamps
and yet they are good. The great
government stands behind them
and makes them good. They are
purely fiat but the gold bug press
never attempts to ridicule them.
They are not redeemable in gold or
any metal, but nobody ever lost a
cent because of that fact. The
power to issue them has never been
delegated to private corporations,
and they have not injured the gov
ernment's credit at home or abroad:
American Standard.
The denomination and value OF
the stamp is fixed by the govern
ment placing the figure which eX
presses its value in cents. just as
the greenback is made and its
value fixed.

Scientific Cooking.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Ewing.
formerly of Elkton are spending the
winter in California, the Italy of
the United States, where Mrs.
Ewing is giving lessons in the arr
of cooking. The following we find
in the San Jose Report dated Febru-
AIRY 10.
AS Mrs. Ewing said in one of her
lessons last week, "Cooks are look
ing up" On that occasion she re-
ferred to her engagement to lecture
at Stanford University. But this
week we have another instance OF
the value of knowledge that pertains
to the kitchen; for Mrs. Ewing has
been engaged to teach bread making
during the Pure Food Exhibit in
San Francisco. For her services
during the six days she will receive
one hundred dollars from the Sperry
Milling Co., whose fiours she will
use.
She will return to San Jose next
Monday and resume her class work
at Y. NJ. C. A. Hall. This new
course will consist of a lesson on
Cake, one on Vegetables, one on
Eggs and Omelets, and one on
Menus, and the serving of a Five
Course Dinner. These four lessons
will be given at $50 p. m, Monday
to Thursday, at Y. NJ. c. A. Hall
as before. AS many who did not
take the lesson on bread making in
the first course have asked to have
that lesson repeated, Mrs. Ewing
will give an extra lesson on Bread
making Wednesday morning at 10

The death of Frederick Dougl;

The death of Frederick Douglass
removes one of the most conspicuous
characters of the ante bellum times
when anti slavery rose to such a
pitch as to become an epoch in the
political history of the United
States. Among the figures which
stood out boldest, Douglass is almost
the last of that band of agitators
who filled the eyes Of the world in
those stirring times. He was not
popular with his race. The stern
force of character which made him
what he was inevitably lifted him
up to a position which was almost
lonely. He was the greatest orator
of his race because his eloquence
was inspired by the battle of free
dom for his race. He used to say
the world had but three great
orators, DemOsthenes of Greece,
Cicero of Rome and Wendell
Phillips of America.

country has been on gold basis
for some time and never was in

should be explained and made familisr to
