A feature of the New York World of
Sunday, April 26, was a page devoted to
a symposium by nine prominent econom-
ic agitators giving their views of the
nations ills, presenting at the head OF
the page pictures in group Of the writ
silver and the goldbugs; Mrs. Mary E.
Lease advocated populism; Dennis
Kearney, of "sand-lot fame" played
upon the old anti-Chinese string; Jacob
S. Coxey talked good roads and non-in-
te~rest-bearing bonds; Lucjen Sanial,
socialism; Samuel Gompers, trades
unionism; Senator PETER, more popu-
lism; Coin" Harvey, more silver. The
following broad survey Of the indus
trial problem is from the pen of Eugene
V. Debs:
In answer to your interrogatory as
to what I consider to be 'the greatest
evil of the time, and what is the remedy
for the complaints of the disconnected
masses" I have to say that l agree en-
tirely with Senator Tillman in his ter
rifle indictment of the money power in
the Sunday World of March l, and in
declaring that power to be the monu-
mental evil of this age. in which all
others have their source and compared
to which all others dwarf to insignii-
canoe. The widespread poverty, misery,
Wretchedness, squalor, degradation,
vice and crime in all their multifarious
forms; not emitting the ~venality, cor
ruption and rascality among what a
perverted civilization is pleased to call
the upper classes" are directly or in
directly traceable to this money power.
This power, the outgrowth of aggre-
| gated and centralized wealth extorted
from the producing masses by processes
no less reprehensible than those en-
ployed by Captain Kidd, Jesse James
and Bill" Dalton on an incomparably
small scale, makes congress and legis-
l%atures, dictates national and state
legislation, appoints federal and state
judges, dominates and elects the presi-
dent OF the United States and compels
all it's spineless vassals to DO it's bid
ding.
This money power has reduced the
high office Of the president to a market
able commodity, the supreme court to q
nest of venality and the United States
congress to a den of treason. Only a
few days ago Prof. George .. Heron
the eminent Christian scholar, declared
that Christ had no more reason tC
scourge the money-changers from the
temple at Jerusalem that the American
people have to clean out the United
States senate. This money power, ON.
nipotent and omnipresent, has ever en-.
tered the church of Christ, touched the
robed minister at the altar. blotcheC

While it builds it's Notifications of the

Wretchedness upon the other side define

rious rags and crusts. This money
power, this i%nsatiate, remorseless, alb
normal development of a barbarous
civilization, has polluted every foun-
tain and stream designed to bless the
world.
Senator Tillman seems to believe that
the money power can be dislodged, and
that the vices, crimes and %iniuuities
which it has spawned can be remedied
by a change in our monetary system.
In this l do not agree with him. His
remedy is, in my opinion, totally in
adequate. 1t is a vastly larger question,
and involves infinitely more than a
change in our system Of finance, radi-
cal and sweeping as they may be. 1t is
a question of industrial revolution and
social regeneration. The whole capi-
talistic system, which has it's founda-
ton in Wage-slavery, must be DESTROYED.

The evolutionary processes are in

is a debt based on a debt; and we are
doing business on the basis Of our

in debt, and pay interest on the debt
forever, that we may have the evidence
of a debt with which to exchange

another interest on something not

and called national bank credit. Why,
a dollar printed on every fifty cents

dollar than a promise to pay a dollar

A miser sat alone with his gold.
For years he had lived the life of a
hermit.
Scarce seeing the light of the sun,
knowing naught Of what went on in

Twas long, long since he had heard
the sound of a human voice. Did he
miss it? No. Money talks.

FLOOD AT WILCOX.
Loss to Property-PrObable
 Suit for Damages.

The following account oi the late storm and flood ct Wiileox is taken from the Valley News, which says:
 The water rose two inches abeye the stone foundation o. Norton < Co, . main store and seYeral inches above the solid wall placed by Soto Bros. under their building after the flood of 1894.
 Since adobe wallr, particularly thsse sustaining great weight, canno, long endure the effect of being immersed in water, it was soon evident that the only means of saving the town was by enlarging the single culyert provided by the railroad company for the escape of flood waters at this point.
 The culyert ,imbers were accord ingly blown out with giant powder and the rise of the water to a greater height thereby prevented.
 Leading citizens of Willcox have repeatedly appealed to the Southern Pacific Go. for additional culvsrts within the town limits and along the line to Railroad Psss, it being well known that the railroad embsnkment acts as 6 levee to throw the sur face water from the Graham noun taips directly into Wilcox.
 The damage caused by this food cannot yet be estimated. Soto Bros. loss alone will probably reach $l 800 or g 900, and it is probable tba, the total loss tJ property owners in Will- cox will approximate S5,O00.
 Suit will probably be brought against the Southeru Pacific Co. for the damage sustained in this. the seo- ond great flood due to the company's refusal 10 provide sufficient outlet for the waters of the valley"
