Strikes, Strikes, Strikes.

And they are springing up i'll every part
of the country apparently more numerous
than ever. The plutocrat papers an
nounce that there is 'slow but steady
improvement" but the strikes which
their columns record contradict the claim
ofimprovement. The truth is that things
are growing worse Wheat has raised
some lately, but it was an advance III
price or the farmers had about made up
their minds to stop selling wheat and
feed the grain to their COWS and hogs
There were probably a hundred million
bushels of wheat fed to stock since last
harvest. Wheat costs 70 to Sd cents a
bushel to raise it. and it is impossible that
farmers could 60 on very long selling it
at so cents and less Such condition.
like fly wheel, brings up at standstill
when the propelling power is removed.
Prices of everything must come down to
a level with wheat before it can be sold
for so cents, hence wheat has gone up
lately, but the prices of all else are grad
ually dropping. Wages, although the
wage earners are striking, are higher
relatively than anything else not con.
trollcd by monopoly, but the wage earn
ers are working on half time, and many
of them are entirely idle.
If wages were reduced so that all could
be employed who want work, they would
scarcely be one-half what they are at
present. If present conditions continue
for few years they must come to that
People must be employed or starve, and
the amount of money set apart for wages
must be divided and subdivided till ali
have share, That is the way it is in
China, in India, in Egypt. Machinery
has to be largely dispensed with and hand
labor take its place. This is the inevitable
end of the present trend of events. But
will the American people submit to this
pressure long enough to allow the steady
turn of plutocracy's screw to force them
to the condition of the cody and Hindu !?
We think not. They will burst up and
smash up things before reaching that
lowest level. They are trying to remedy
their evil by votes, if they fail in this, the
old method OF force will be their next and
last recourse.
Things are not improving. They are
evening up, or rather, down, and then
move forward a trife on lower level,
again to halt, steady up and sink little
lower. Commercial and business papers
announce periodically that the currency
of the country is steadily contracting,
and that means lower prices and harder
times.
More money must be had before the
dead line is reached or the cry of bread
or blood will be heard in the land.

Coins Financial School.

This famous little book is running over
the country like a prairie fire, and is
worrying the gold bugs as badly as the
Helper Book did the shareholders before
the outbreak of the rebellion. This little
messenger of fate to the Sound fnony"
class is hand writing on the wall fright
ening them as nothing ever before has
disturbed that clan of conspirators against
the prosperity and property of the world.
Coin is made to figure as a school
master who delivers six lectures on
money i'll Chicago. He illustrates his
lectures by diagrams on the blackboard,
tables, charts, etc., which are represented
in the book. His lectures are interspersed
with questions from we'll known persons
in the audience, college professors, bank
presidents, cashiers, members Of the
board of trade, editors of the leading
daily papers in Chicago, who are made to
rise in the audience and PROFOUND ques-
tons to the little lecturer, or school
master.
AS a matter of fact these performances
never actually took place, but the leading
gold bug advocates are represented asking
the lecturer Questions, and the questions
are formulated out of the opinions held,
andI arguments used by the men and
papers whose names Coin uses to demon
strate his positions and refute the gold
bug authors Of such erroneous opinions.
This plan is quite original and the writer
is very bright and has taken care to be
we'll informed on all the points taken up.
Coin does not base his arguments or lee
lures on the true.basis Of scientific money,
but purposely, we assume, adopts the
gold bug theory of primary" mouey,
the money of final payment" which
is the gold bug financial system OF
sound money to Justify the free coinage
Of silver based on that theory, and SO
thoroughly proves his case as TO put the
gold bugs in hole or compel them to
acknowledge the same necessity for the
free coinage of silver as that Of gold, in
order to furnish the world with sufficient
stock Of primary money on which to

The Arena for May is an excel

The Gold-bugs are Whipped Already

The drift to free silver every
where is so strong that it is evident
that goldbugism is already beaten.
"Coin's Financial School" seems,
like "Uncle Toms Cabin to have
been launched exactly at the right
moment, and as that novel was to
slavery the little book is to the gold
bug swindle and craze. People are
coming to their senses, and begin to
see as well as feel the huge fraud
that has been practiced upon them
by this Jew conspiracy, Matched in
London and other European centerS
where these gentlemen cantrol the
great gold banking houses.
The Orange Judd Farmer (Ameri-
can Agriculturist) the most con
sentative old school farm paper in
the country says this book, Coins

carried the west by storm, is having
greater influence in the central and
southern states aud is today the
fastest selling book in the great de-
partment stores in Philadelphia,
New York, Boston and other eastern
cities. Over $4,000 copies have
been sold. Public men bankers.
journalists and others are rapidly
taking sides in the three cornered
fight, and while 'goldbugs' are
coming to the front at the west and
south an astonishing influence
favorable to bimetalism or free coin
age is developing in the east.n
This tells the story in advance of
the anihilating defeat that the gold
bug conspirators are doomed to
receive. 1t would not be at all
strange if this popular storm which
increases in intensity, did not drive
the next session Of congress to pass
almost without a division a free
coinage bill.

Pure Milk

The business of the country is
settling into its former groove. Our
gentlemanly driver has returned
from his vacation, the cows in the
pasture switch flies instead Of bull
let's with their tails and the cream is
richer in consequence. We believe
we have satisfied every one OF our
customers who have taken milk from
us and we are in position to sup
ply great many more. The people
who from choice or necessity visited
Waialae during the past two weeks
have had an opportunity to see just
what sort OF diet our stock feeds
upon, and no longer wonder at the
richness Of the milk from our dairy.
Our facilities for delivery are the
best. With the exception OF day
or two early in the late unpleasant
ness our drivers have always been
on time at our customers residences.
We take this opportunity to thank
those who have been patient with us
and to solicit a continuance OF their
patronage. We will be pleased to
fill all orders telephoned to us and
guarantee all milk to be pure and
free from adulteration.
