The only constitutional solution of
the money problem seems to be the
extension Of the United States treas
ury in some form to every part of our
nation, and the utter suppressing Of
all banks of issue. Here lies the
great struggle for national freedom
and national existence. Congress has
bsrtered away the sovereignty it pos
sessed over money to a lot of
usurers, who mean first to impoverish
and then enslave the people with per-
petusl debt. They are combined to
oppose every effort to restore to con-
gress its sovereignty and the people
their liberties.
No intelligent person but knows that
if we had free, full and unlimited coin
age Of gold and silver, and On abund-
ant amount Of government paper, all
treated alike by the government, and
individuals compelled to do the same,
that all men would prefer the paper
money for convenience sake. This
would keep the metallic money largely
in the government treasury, or deposit,
where it would ever be ready to serve
its purposes. In times Of peace, says
the skeptic, this would work well,
but what would become of silver and
gold in times of war? The traitors
would draw out the specie and leave.
Well if he wants to do this he is a
traitor and the government should
treat him as such. Put him in the army
and let him defend his money and
make it good, or put him in the peni-
tentiary and teach him to make cart
ridges for more patriotic men to use.
Government has no right to make any
particular kind of money for traitors
or towards. When every mans pocket
is full of money, the value of which de-
pends upon the permsnency of this
government, we will have few traitors.
The patriots of this nation will never
be content until we have an American
system of money. Our present system
Of money ispurely monarchicsl, and its
effects are despotic and destructive to
prosperity and liberty.
After having defeated the British
empire in our infancy, and builded up
the greatest nation on the globe, are
we willing to be subjected to perpetual
debt slavery by financial system of our
old enemyP Let all patriots demand,
and secure, an American system of
finance in the interests of all the peo-
pie. Had congress adopted govern
ment issue of money during our re.
bellion and issued no bonds, it would
have saved to the people from inter
est, premiums and other expenses con-
nected with the bonds and banking

tSoveEnmeat Money, or Government Issue of
Paper Money.
LESSON XII, PART III.

I'm entering upon this chapter we are
met with great difficulties arising from
the ignorance or prejudice of the
people upon this kind of money. 1t
would seem that a systematic effort
had been put forth by the nations
fnanciers tor years to keep the people
In profound ignorance upon this sub.
jsct. To this end editors and politi-
clans seem to be their ready tools,
The idea that government can make
money out Of nothing but gold and
silver, that paper must Of necessity be
notes or credit money, seems to lurk
around the minds of many who ought
to be wise. Many seem to possess the
idea that money is private property
and that few people own it; that
there is no other way by which indi-
vlduaIs or nation are to secure it but to
buy or borrow it from the favored
classes. This is fatal error. Money,
II property at all, is the property Of the
nation that creates it. No individual
or corporation can make or produce
money. Money is the sovereign crea-
tion and possession Of the nation, Gre
ated and kept for the good Of all the
people. Every citizen has right to
use just as many dollars of it as he
can create values for, provided he does
not use the money to defrsud, or harm
any other member of society. When
this is done government possesses the
sovereign right to take it from him.
This is often done in the form of fines
and penalties for violations of law.
NO man has a right to use his govern
ment's money to defraud, or oppress
any other citizen. Public highways,
the waters Of lakes and rivers, like
money, are national possessions, and
may be used by any citizen, but no one
has any right to obstruct road, or
lake, or river, to prevent any other
man from using it. No man has any
tnCEe right to defrsud others out Of the
use Of the nations money than he has
IS shut up the public highway and
open one of his own. He is a tres.
hasaer upon the rights Of a sovereign
government in either case.
H0Yernment has no more right to
dispose Of It's control over money than
Il would have to sell or give up or lease
tbe public highways to an individual
Il corporation. Public highways are
located where, and constructed &C.
sording to laws of the nation. Money

cording to rules prescribed by govern
ment. When a sovereign government
makes money of paper, gold, or silver,
any oneWho would depreciste its value,
or question its money functions,
should be treated as transgresssr, or
rebel against the nations sovereignty.
The same power that makes gold and
silver money can make paper money,
and to the same extent. The time may
have been when the arguments against
government paper not being received
on par with gold and silver had some
plausibility, but it is gone forever.
For thirty years an unfriendly capital
istic combine, an unfriendly press and
an unfriendly congress have been
using all unjust means and influences,
and passing discriminating laws
against the United States greenback,
to bring it into disrepute and force its
depreciation in the interest of ma
tiOnal bank notes. But through all
this thirty years of persecution they
have performed all the functions of
money the law would permit. Those
forms of government notes that were
made full money by the government
have never been below par, even of the
much WOrshipped gold. Even now
our American greenback with the stab
Of patricidal congress upon its back
Is the only form Of money we have
that passes in Europe at face value,
without being weighed. And during
the darkest hours Of the bankers panic
of 1894, the greenback, national
bank note and the 50.cent silver
dollar commanded a premium of
and per cent. over gold. This was
law triumphing over treschery.
From what has been taught in
former lessons it may be legitimately
concluded that congress must do the
following things:
(D 1t must coin, or issue all the
money of this nation. 1t must furnish
the paper money as well as the metal
lie, and all should have equal value,
and equal support, and protection from
congress and the laws made by it.
~ That congress must furnish the
amount of money that will keep prices
at a uniform rate, year after year.
That the amount of money must in
crease in volume at the same rate
products and population increase.
(S) That to do justice to the debtors
of the nation congress must initiate the
currency until prices reach that point
they occupied when this nation'g debts
were contracted.
(4) That as it is the duty of con-
gress to regulate commerce between
the states, and money is tool of com.
merce, it becomes the duty of congress
to furnish this money to the several
states as they may need and when they
may need.
(5) This would necessitate the
the establishment of deposits or
banks to supply the people with
money when they need it, and to
the full amount they need. The people
and not the banks should tell when we
need money. Every man should have
so much money as he can give good Sc
curity for.
(6) Congress should furnish money

GUATEMALA SETTLES.
Pays Indemnity for Arresting and Beating
Americans

The state Department Las succeeded IN
settling an indemnity claim against the Qua
temalan Government in behalf OF three
American laborers, W. ii. Argall, Henry
Thomas and Robert Pardee. The matter has
been pending for about a year. The three
Americans concerned were employed by n
Mr.. Van de Putte near the city OF Guatemala
TO demoi.h small shed and carry the ma
teral to a des. mated spot While in the ac.
of carving out these directions, the Amer
can lab r. we're arrested ~ the Guatema-
Ian police and taken to the penitentiary.
They were not served with warrants, nor
were hey told OF the charge against them.
They we're furnished with neither warrant
nor charge, but were placed according TO
the description from our legation ia Guaic'
mala, In vie. dirty prison with thieves,
robbers and murderers, without having even
violated law or having the intention 10 do
so.
Inquiry Of Guatemalan officials developed
the fact that the shed which the Americans
were molishing for their Belgian employer
had been erected by an ofIl Ger Of the Gov.
eminent Oh land which Van de Putte claimed
TO be his. The ofIsnse OF the Guatemalun
Government was somewhat aggravated by
the fact that the Minister'S messenger sent to
confer with the prisoners in the penientiaty
was denied admission, and our request to
the Guatemaan Minister OF For eign Affairs
for permission to send cur Vice Counsel Gen.
