quoted numerous authorities in support

hold mp to the light Of day the thing called pa
triotism that butchered men and exempted
money. Let our people know of the red-hand-
ed injustice that drafted men to protect the
property of the rich in conflict between wage
slave owners and chattel-slave owners, and
when, as Wendell Phillips tells us, the "wage-
slave owners conquered they were permitted
to fasten bonded debt upon our people which,
by every juggling of capital and legislative
knavery, they have perpeturated and increased.
We have been deceived too long with the blow

We owe allegiance to ourselves.

THE MONEY QUESTION THE COMING
ISSUE

Under the above heading, Rev. Charles H.
St. John, of Kansas City, Kas., one of the lead.
ing Prohibitionists of the state, expresses his
views in the following letter to the New York
Voice:
"EDIToR OF THE VOICE: l rejoice to see
movement on the part of all reformers into
conference upon the issues of the times. We
Prohibitionists have not been broad enough in
the past. Let us broaden out and join forces
with any and all who will help us win against
rum and ruin. believe the hour has come for
our cause if we can unite all of the reform
forces. Let us quit splitting hairs and get
votes The great issue in the next campaign
will be the money issue. That question is next
to be settled, and there is not enough power OF
influence in any other question to sidetrack the
principal issue. For one, am going for that
issue, and will join forces with the party that
seems nearest right and will adopt prohibition.
Second, I will fall into line and do my best for
success. am willing to accept of prohibition
prst second or third, only SO l get the ruin
devil down.
"Now, if the protesting Christian church
shall do her duty, we shall settle the money
question: the woman-sufrage question and the
tariff farce. Let us get together. 1t seems to
me what we need now is some Moses who will
lead us out. Who is he or where is she that
can be our Nestor in council2 We need the

MRS. LEASE.

Living in days when no human being, 10
woman especially, should dare shirk her portion
of responsibility, it is borne in upon every true
heart that woman owes to herself, to God and
country her highest endeavor, her most earnest
effort to inaugurate reign of peace, and help
to usher in time when resort to violence or
brute force, or the shedding of human blood,
for the settlement of dispute, will be cried down
by an indignant church and frowned upon by a
peace-loving world.
We women have given our loved ONES to be
butchered. We have sacrificed b1indly all that
made life sweet, and called it patriotism. In
Gods name, let us awaken to the fact that war,
with all its cruelty, would be impossible, and
the shedding of human blood unnecessary, if
gold were drafted instead of flesh and blood.
Europe, with her ar1fia1nents and navies, cam
not engage in war without the sanction of the
Rothschilds and the promised Use of their gold.
During the late war In this country, the strong
arm of the government reached out and took in
fathers, sons and brothers and placed them in
the forefront of battles danger, and we sobbed
and toied, with broken hearts, at home, and
said in our ignorance, "Our country demands
the sacrifice" but the cowardly bond-holders
and their gold were not called upon for sacri-
hce Gold hid away in the time of the nations
struggle, and only CAME forth to speculate in
the life.blood of the people and the necessities
of the republic, and the speculation was SO
successful that the SCARED and crippled veter.
ans who fought to save the flag have been pay
ing tribute ever since to the coward metal that
refused to help them when the Unions life was
threatened.
The duty of the hour, the opportunity for
which the ages have waited is here. We can
avert boodshed by refusing to immediate Our
hearts best treasures to the bondholder's greed.
We can inaugurate reign Of peace by demand

THE DRINK CURSE.

Ever since Adam and Eve went astray in the
Garden of Eden, man seems prone to follow
their example; and in nothing is that proper
sity to evil so inexcusable as in the use of in
toxicating liquors. From the American Prac-
titioner we condense the following:
A specialist made study of twenty-four
families, extending over a period of twelve
years. Twelve of the families were intemper-
ate and twelve temperate. Fifty-seven children
were born to the drinking parents and sxty-one
to the parents of temperate habits. Of the
drinkers, twenty-five children died the fist
week, five were idiots, five were dwarfs, five
became epileptic, and five more were diseased
and deformed. Ten only of the ffty-seven
showed during life, normal disposition and de-
velopment of body and mind. Fifty of the
children of temperate parents were normal in
every way.
Nowords of ours can possibly make a stronger
case, and yet, we cannot forbear, in this con-
nection, from making the strongest appeal of
which we are capable to all lovers of humanity
to make the most determined effort to stamp
out this great evil.
Better that the race perish by some great
CONFUSION of nature than that it perish by
inches and by processes tina: are as foolish and
uncalled-for-as criminal. We say foolish and
criminal because it is foolish to drink that
which there is no necessity for drinking, and it
is criminal to transmit to offspring heritage
of death or horrible disease. We write the
words of truth and soberness. Christianity
and the common instincts of humanity demand
healthy children. The hope and petpetuity Of
our republic rests upon the temperance of its
citizens, and without temperance, civilization
must anguish and die.
But, says the objector the cases you mention
are exceptional cases. Not so--on1y, perhaps,
in degree. Intemperance is unnatural, and
must produce unnatural results, just as temper
ance is natural, and natural results must follow
We state an memorable law, readily recognized
by every person of ordinary intelligence.
It follows, then, that even little indulgence
in intoxicants, except for medicine, must exert
mischievous influence. By drinking in even
so-called moderation, we cross the safety line,
and our course is in the direction of idiocy, ep-
ilepsy and other diseases for the coming genera
tons. We shall, as individuals or nation,
reap of that which we have sown. If we SOW
the seeds of disease and death, be sure we shall
harvest of humiliation.

MRS. COUGAR.
What does woman owe her country? is the
question asked. 1t is the law of barter that
indebtedness is for value received. America
has so exalted woman that she has been I'M
hitched from beside the dog, mule or OK, and
has been made the seignor wrangler in the
greatest institution of learning in the world
She goes with her face unveiled, and is as much
of human being as the man whom she calls
brother, instead of master. The schools, col
leges, universities, arts, sciences, professions,
press, pulpit and forum are hers at will She
is, in reality, the Goddess of Liberty
What shall she give to her country in return
for all this?
An exalted womanhood and manhood, sufi-
GENTLY inaterialized to be perfect home-helper,
sufficiently patriotic to demand that moral laws,
with equal rights for all and special privileges
for none, shall prevail; sufficiently tender that
the now petted poodle shall be remlanded to the
dog kennel, and the homeless child be the pet
of the household; sufficiently intellectual to do
her own thinking; sufficiently independent to
act according to her own judgment, and stuff
GENTLY spiritual to recognize the God in human
kind.
A woman thus equipped will have returned
to her country life so useful that her debt will
be fully cancelled at the end of three score
years and ten. HELEN M. COUGAR.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

EDITORS AGITAToR: Your reply to my for
1ner communication indicates that you failed to
comprehend my argument. You reiterate the
assertion that more money will reduce interest
rates, without noticing my demonstration that
both the memorable science of mathematics and
all the experience of the past teach the contra
ry. Again, you say "Interest on hired money
is too high proportioned to profits" which is a
reductio ad notwithstanding in circle
when we remember that profits and interest are
identical-two names for the same thing.
think your error arises from confusing money
with capital, or wealth, and thinking that in
crease of the former will be an increase of the
latter, which is clearly an error.
We do not differ regarding the justice and
expediency of free coinage of silver, but we
seem to differ only as to the results of it. 1
wish it, not alone for the benefit of present
debtors, but as double and more steady stand
ard, and sufficiency of money of ultimate re-
demption, but do not expect it to loosen the
grip of monopolies, nor lower interest, nor that
it will have any appreciabe influence in lessen
ing the aggregate indebtedness of the country;
while you seem to think it will add to the
wages of labor and increase the proportion Of
wealth held by the poor, by lessening the ex-
torting power of monopoly of land and of pub
lie utilities, and unjust taxation of labor.
think both natural law and experience of his
tory are against you in this-and equally SO in
yeur paper money theories 1t is wealth, and
not something to measure it, that the poor lack,
and to give them only Increase of money as
measure, or a store-h house, of wealth they can
never hope to obtain, is like giving one dying
of thirst all empty silver cup to drink from, and
refusing him water.
Your assumption that more old debtors
would be relieved than new ones made is I'M
founded in either sound philosophy or expert
ence.
You are beginning at the peak of the roof to
Single your house, because you reverse cause
and efect-you see only the effect, and mistake
the cause.
Are you consistent in refusing to advocate
the single tax because it is Gas you mistakenly
think distant and difficult meas
ure, and yet advocating the infinitely weaker
and more distant theories of socialism and of
superintendent paper money-themselves op-
posing theories, for, under socialism, no money
will be required or used?
The money-lender is the agent and the result
of the landlord and speculator. He the effect
and they the cause, and evils are cured only by
removing their cause.
Yours for justice,

Palmer has taken against the proposed

acquainted with Senator Palmer's pri-

between the lines of his published in

his party that if the June convention de-
ciared for free silver he will leave the
party and carry with him a large fol-
