The Robbers Scheme.

House bill 6442 introduced by con-
gresham Fowler of New Jersey is en-
titled: "a bill to take the United
States out of the banking business,
refund the national debt, reform the
currency and to improve our banking
system" Had it been entitled ga bill
to surrender the sovereign authority
of the government under the constitu-
ton to four Wall street sharks to be
denominated ministers of finance and
set them up supreme in the govern
ment business, with full control of
the prosperity, and the destinies of
the American people, with full power
to regulate and control prices of all
property" its true purpose would
have been honestly set forth. 1t pro-
poses to issue government bonds in
lieu of all those outstanding and for
all the treasury notes and silver GER
tificates issued, all of which are to be
called in, and upon these bonds issue
to the banks Omitted states govern
ment bond notes, which shall be legal
tender for all debts public or private
except duties on imports, which shall
be paid in gold coin" and which notes
are to be redeemed in gold coin when
presented for payment at the bank
of issue. None of the notes are to be
issued in sums under ten dollars,
which will confine the business of the
country and of all the day laborers of
the country to the present silver
basis. For the redemption of tho
notes issued by the banks they are
required to have fund of % per cent
OF their issues, 10 per cent in gold and
l0per cent in silver coin. The banks
are authorized to issue notes to the
amount of 10 per cent of the average
Individual deposits, and section pro-
vides for redemption in gold, silver
or United States government bond
notes i. e. swap the notes you hold
for the ones the bank holds. In case
the bank fails the United States will
be permitted to act as trustee for the
people under section ID, but is re-
lieved of responsibility for the re-
demption of outstanding notes. The
bonds deposited for the bond notes
will remain the property of the de-
positors upon which the interest is to
be paid to them 10 gold. No prettier
scheme to fleece a confiding public
was ever devised by any scoundrel
that ever inhabited this green earth.

Sudden Death of Washington Club Man.
Washington. April 4. - Mr.. Seaton
Monroe, well-known club man, was
found dead in the lavatory of the Arno
hotel in this city at one o'clock Satur-

cafe of the hotel for some time prior to
midnight and those in charge did not
recollect seeing him go out. A search
was made and the dead body found.
The cause of death has not been de-
termined, but apopleNy is probable.

Government Ownership.

All great governments have long
since owned and operated the tele-
graph system, and more than half of
them also own the telephone. On
the government owned lines of
France a message can be sent across
the country for ten cents, while the
Western Union charge 81 for the
same. In England it costs 10 cents
for a 10 word:message from southern
England::to northern Scotland.
Government telephones in Austria
cost $40 a year against $50 to $l25 in
Boston. kilograms in that country
cost 5 cents, with the additional
charge of two-fifths of cent word,
short dispatch costing 8 to 10 cents

There are two classes-those who
have dollars to sell for products and
commodities, including labor, and
those who have products and CON-
modities, including labor, to sell for
dollars. We are unwilling to believe
that any one, no matter to which
class he may belong, is SO stupid as
not to know that the gold standard
more than doubles the wealth, or the
opportunities for wealth, of the first
class, and that it makes wealth, or
even competency, impossible for the
second class. There is here an ire
pressible conflict. The gold standard
takes half the products and labor
from those who must buy dollars, and
gives it to those who have dollars to
sell. How? By making dollars dear
er, and products and labor cheaper
