an independent, government issue Of
paper money is a reference to the
worthlessness Of French assignats, the
continental currency Of orr reyolu-
tionary period, and the confederate
money Of our war-of rebellion.
These issues Of paper money were
extensively eounteFfeitted under gov
eminent patronage as q war measure
by the opposing powers. This is true
both in the case Of the assignats and
continental currency, and millions Of
dollars also Of confederate money we're
printed and passed of during the war
OF rebellion. Whether the federal
government was back of this scheme
We do not know, but the counterfeiting
was extensively done and damaged
irrepsrably the credit of the confed-
crate states. The confederate notes
read: "WilI pay dollars 20 years after
the conclusion of treaty Of peace
with the United States Of America. "
These notes we're conditioned of the
success Of the confederate cause. The
continental notes read: entities the
holder to - Spanish milled dollars. +"
These notes did not bear "promise to
pay" We are not posted as to the
reading of the assignats, but they also
we're revolutionary money" These
moneys fought tremendous battles and
in two instances were practically sue
cessful, and only for overwhelming
odds and the greenback against them
the confederate money might have
carried them through.
England in her wars with France
under the Napoleonic empire used
paper money and won. Napoleon used
hard money in his wars and lost. Eng
land in her wars with the colonies used
hard money and lost, the colonies used
paper money and won. The Venetian
banking system grew out of "war
necessity" and became a great bene-
fetal institution which stood for cen
turtles. The greenback system of the
United States is capable of a like
victory.
The reasonable issue of paper money
by stable government is eminently
wise, economical and safe. Modern
history abounds with instances of the
success of this form of finance. In
time Of war coin money hides its head
and soon disappears. Reader, suppose
you have two protested friends; you
get into difficulty; one proves true to
your interests and the other pr0feSsed
friend is false. Upon the successful
termination of your war" which one
of these twain would you most highly
regard? To ask this question is to
answer it. Not so with our national
fnanciers; they retire and destroy the
greenback and promote the cowardly
gold "a friend in need, is friend in
deed"

The responsibility for the deficit and
consequent bond issues was the su-
preme court decision which declaredun-
constitutional the income tax law. The
revenues of the government would
have been adequate only for this in
famous decision; reversing former su-
preme court decisions on the same
subject in a similar law, The blame
for the bond issues is to be laid at the
door of the republican rather than the
democratic party. The people should
remember these things.

Patriotism is not limited to defend
ing a fatherland from a foreign foe, but
extends beyond to the defense Of the
areside from unjust legislation and
discrimination and leads up to the de-
mand for equal rights to all men and
for a policy of legislation looking to
the best interest of the majority. Such
8 patriotism is nov badly needed in the
United States.

other forms Of torture are practieed upon the
unfortunate rebels when taken. These Outrages
against humanity do occur, as any citizen Of
Havana can testify, In fact, if they would al

ON HIS HAY 10 AMERICA.
John I. Waller Tells Of the Indignitss that
We're Put Upon Him.
The Ex-ConsaI Has Employed English
Attorneys to Bring Suit Against
the French Government.

LONDON, April 5.-John l. Waller, ex-
United States consul TO Madagascar,
left England last night for America,
He has been in London for severaldays
in consultation with a prominent law
firm which he has employed TO repres-
ent him in his suit for damages against
the French government. Mr.. Waller
refused to state the amount of damages
for which he will sue, but talked freely
Of the indignities and cruelties upon
which his claim is based. As its client
mas no funds with which to retain eoun-
Gil, the London firm will rely upon the
per centage of the judgment which it
expects to obtain against the French
government for its remuneration.
"In August of 1898, 4" said Mr.. Waller.
II wrote a letter from Tamati3e to my
wife, who was then sOiOurning in an in
terror village of Madagascar. The let
ter described the raid of troop of
French soldiers upon the natives in a
town near the capital city, and incident
ally was mentioned the ravishing of
several native women by the officers.
This letter misoarried and fell into the
hands of the postal authorities.
"March %, 1895, 1 was arrested, charg-
ed with sending through the mails mat
ter inimical to French supremacy in
Madagascar, and with refusing to sub
NIT my letters to the inspection of the
postal censor. l was lodged in prison
in Tamatave, and for time was denied
the privilege Of engaging a lawyer.
Finally, however, about a hours before
my trial, I was permitted to retain
counsel. He found, after investigating
my case, that the charge against me
was entirely inadequate to justify my
retention in custody, and so informed
the tribunal before whom was arraign-
ed. No attention was paid to him. Ny
hearing was hurried through and I was
sentenced to 20 years imprisonment.
"The next day was placed on board
a French transport bound for Marseil-
les. was told at embarking that in
Difference to my rank I would be given
a stateroom. Instead Of that, however,
l was slowed down under the hatchWay
and made to kneel down upon miscel-
Ianeous lot of freight. A brutal French
guard was placed over me, who missed
no opportunity to offer me insult Dur
ing the first days of the voyage the
crew and other French sympathizers
On board crowded about and spit upon
me, laughing and jeering at my express
sions of disgust.
All this time / was handcuffed and
chained to a heavy iron bar. My food
was so repulsive that my stomach reject
ed it. finally became sick, and, to save
my life, the physician ordered that I be
given 20 minutes of freedom each day
ten in the forenoon and ten in the
afternoon.
"UpOn landing in Marseilles I was
transferred to the prison at Mines,
where I remained until February 6 of
the present year. When I was released
I signed no papers renOuncing my claim
for damages against the French govern
meDt, and am now free to prosecute
my suit for damages"

and the issue of bonds in time Of peace.
They win urge McKinleyism as the

But what are the facts in the case?
The panic was pending when the
present democratic administration
came into power, and deficiency in
revenue threatened to create a deficit
in the treasury. Bond issues were
talked of before Harrison's term was
out5, and Secretary Foster had written
an order to the chief Of the bureau of
engraving for the preparations Of de-
signs for a bond issue. The following
