THE GREAT CANCER.

HOW 1T DEVOURS-THE ROBBERY BY
INTEREST.
Milwaukee Advance.
To show how fearfully the bankers
debts increaseby interest-and how rich
they become by usury it has been figured
that if one cent had been invested on the
first of January of the year 1, at six per
cent compound interest, at the end of the
year 1898 it would require forty-six figures
to express the amount of principal and
interest. If every man, woman and child
in the world were worth" one hundred
billion of dollars, it would take three hun
dred billion such worlds as ours to pay
one one-hundredth billionth part of the
annual interest.
Or to figure it in another way. The
gold money in the world figures up $780,
100000. A cubic yard. of gold is worth
$10.000,000. Then all the gold money in
the world could be placed in a vault rs
feet square and 161s feet high. Yet to
pay that cent at six per cent interest
since the year 1, would now require
eighty three Jumps Of gold as large as the
earth.
A lot on the corner of LaSalle and
Monroe streets was rented by Marshall
Field to the w. C. T. U. for 80 years at
$4,000 year. This will amount to So
100000 for the term of the lease, but if
Field loans it as received at SIX per cent
and compounds the interest, it will be
$640, 1906, 1877 at the end of the 80 years.

SILVER IS TOO BULKY.

We are told that silver is too bulky for
money. 1t may be for the millionaire.
A man would not care to carry a few
thousand dollars in silver around in his
pocket. But the average man does not
have few thousand dollars to carry,
He can manage to bear up even under
all the silver he can get hold of. Was
anybody ever known, however, to go about
with their pockets stuffed with gold?
Not much. The gold dollar is so small
1t is a nuisance, and $500 in ten-dollar
gold pieces would make a very uncom-
Portable weight. The gold blatherskites
talk as If the people were never to see
any kind of money but silver dollars,
If we should have free coinage! What
would be the matter with having paper,
as we have 1t now? Nobody objects to
paper, If it is not lying paper, promise
to pay gold when there is no gold to
pay with. If we are to have redeemable
paper, let us be honest, and promise to
redeem it in something that we have.
Our present paper currency is a fraud. a
glaring, impudent fraud. There are 500
promises to pay to one dollar of gold to
pay with. If it should be presented for
redemption the banks would close with a.
bang, and the government would have sew
eral hundred millions of paper to redeem
with $100,000,000 of gold The gold re-
serve would melt away then pretty lively,
and the Rothschi1ds would need to be sum
moned to fill up the empty cash box
Gold redemption is barren ideality and
crime against honesty. There is not a
bank in the country that could redeem it's
paper, and the government could not do
it either. The system represents con-
slant menace to prosperity and bank
ing business founded upon wind, pure
wind. 1t would be highly commendable
# we adopted something for money that
was bulky enough to find when it was
wanted.-Farmers' Voice, Chicago.

In. He said the house at that time was
subject for the pencil of a Mast in the
caricatures of the day. It is during this
day in the printed record of speeches that
we discover that the change of the unit
from silver to gold had been inserted in
the bill.

'BIMETALLISM ON A GOLD BASIS.
1t is not denied, however that we
could have bimetallism with the unit on
gold. 1t would not be a safe experiment
to try, but if the minis were left open

limited demand-of the other metal we
might have bimetallism. AS we will see
later in this discussion. unlimited coinage
Is the first as to Importance of the sew
eral conditions making bimetallism.
While the record disclosed the inten-
ton to change the unit to gold it nowhere
revealed the intention to close the minis
to silver
Mr.. Hooper on this same day april 81
goaded to it by an inquisitive member,
said (vol. 3. page 23O6) that the bill re-
enacted existing laws in regard to silver
except that it changed the size of the
silver dollar from 412h grains standard
silver to 384 grains Mark you, I have
quoted his exact words. He stated as a
reason that this would take the per cent
ont of< ell To- I,o
silver dollar as compared with gold. In
other words. he conveyed the express un-
Outstanding that silver was to be favor
ed. Less silver was to be put In dollar.
He did not say that the silver from which
these silver dollars were to be coined was
TO be purchased nor that the minis were
TO be closed, but he did say that the bill
re-enacted existing laws, except to
change the size of the silver dollar.
This is the clause providing for the
SS4-grain dollar, with the right to un1im-
tied free coinage, that was surreptitious-
ly erased from the bill in 1873 before it
was enrolled. By the erasure of this pro-
vision or by it's omission in enrolling the
bill the minis were to be closed to silver.
This was now the plan Of the conspiracy.
The bill had re-enacted the law of 1853
providing for the purchase of silver for
fractional silver coins, but that law had
left the minis open to the silver dollar,
but by striking outs the silver-dollar
clause the minis would be closed to sill
yer. This was the point on which the
minds of the conspirators were focused.
IF the change of the unit from silver to
gold passed the gauntlet they were safe,
with a copy of the bill sprung at the last
moment emitting this sentence and pos
sibly further part Of a sentence in one
other section that referred to it, or with
willing clerk to fraudulently make this
omission on enrolment, and their object
would be accomplished.

law partner negotiated the purchase and
sale and that while there were many per-
sons desrious of buying the bonds al
$1.201a, they were barred out and pri-
vate sale was made at $1.041a. The diff.
ference between what the President
could have gotten for the bonds
and what he did get was 16
cents on the dollar, amounting on the
bond issue to ten million dollars in
round numbers. A small circle of men
