Gold.bugs are calamity howlers-
they have no faith in the stability
of the American government. FL
Artists are prosperity minstrels be-
cause they sing, preach and teach
faith in Uncle Sam.
Star and Kansan, independence:
What is socialism? Ethically, its
central principle is the same as that
of Christianity: "Love thy neigh.
Dor as thyself."
Isn't it pretty near time the Kan.

Cleveland wrote letter Task week
warning office.holders that if they
criticised the administration and
talked about Wall street influences
that control it, they would be liable
to lose their heads. He seems to
think he is king, and the officers
his servants instead of the servants
of the people.
The Rothschilds have cornered
the worlds supply of gold; and,
though the American product is in
creasing, less is going to our mints
for coinage. The men who control
the worlds supply Of redemption
metal practically own the earth.
Until we strike down the gold stand
ard, we are their slaves.
More than half the people of the
United States are paying rent for
their homes, and the rent is bound
to go up as population increases.
Lots of these renters are voting the
old party tickets. If they ever
hope to enjoy homes of their own,
they are putting stumbling-blocks
in their own way by casting such

Every once in a while you will
hear somebody, who doesn't under

enough to insure their permanency,
with a membership Of 1850, 900.
These members, and their families
they represent, number one-fifth of
the population of the United King

operation. 1t is going to overspread
the world.
Here, there and everywhere l
read of strikes by workingmen in
various occupations. The biggest
| geese in the world are the men who
strike against the wages they are
getting, and go hungry, in order to
bring capital to time, and at the
same time keep on voting the CAPT.
talists' ticket.
Daniel Webster's private secre-
lary was so dishonest and untrust-
worthy as to sell the news of the
negotiation of the treaty of Oregon
to the London Times for $1,000. He
has recently died, leaving an estate
valued at $4,000. 900. Of course,
such "thrift" and Industry" and
"enterprise" as he exhibited de-
serves to be rewarded with one of
the great fortunes of modern times.
The qualities he exhibited certainly
ought to be encouraged Our mod
ern social system says to every man:
Get money--no matter how you get
it, so you keep out of the clutches
of the law but get money, and
everything on earth shall be yours
to command.
