Universal Slavery.

The creditors of the world in gold
countries have, since 1873, doubled their
lien upon their neighbours property
without advancing another cent to
them. For every ounce of human prod
ucts which the debtors then owned the
creditors now owe them two. For
every days labor that would then be re-
CURED TO pay off the debt it would now
REQUIRE two. For every life that should
have been spent in releasing the bond
upon human energy two lives must now
be spent. In a word, the weight i'm
posed by debt upon the sum of human
energy, the suffering, the agony. re-
Guired TO emancipate humanity from
the load has been doubled. Nor is This
all. The process is continuing one
The weight is still increasing and in an
increasing ratio. If it continue much
longer it Ineans universal slavery.-

EVILS OF REORGANIZATION.
In a Land of Plenty Men. Women and
Children Want for Food.

In a Land of Plenty Men. Women and
Children Want for Food.
United States Senator Jones, OF Ne
vada, writes as follows in the October
Arena:
Wages fall with prices. The ccn-
tracing OF business naturally throws
a great deal of labor idle on the market,
and in order to find any chance to earn
a livelihood, men are obliged to take the
first place that offers no matter how lew
the price. Lockouts, long periods of
enforced idleness, and small earnings
when employed, soon crush the spirits
of the laboring people. They are made
to look on the chance to work as favor
and not as a right. Thus the standard
of manhood is lowered; and as the ccf-
fers of the rich are being filed to burst
ing by gains which arise largely from
the direct contributions of the poor in
rents interest, etc, the condition of the
latter gradually grows worse. To this
may be traced most of the crime and
misery in the land. The prisons AID
lunatic asylums teeming with victims,
the charity hospitals, poorhouses and
potters' fields filled to overhowing, and
IAC lAOSS
sands of homeless wanderers known as
"tramps." OF course the gold barons
viii laugh at anyone who says that
these Things are results of the demone-
tization of silver. Other causes have
been at work, but this is the chief cause.
We have country of boundless re-
sources, possessing almost every va
riety Of climate and soil, capable of
producing nearly everything that the
heart or mind of man can desire; land
that is blessed as no other region of the
earth with splendid rivers, dense for
ests, mountains and valleys, lakes and
plains, and a seaboard of marvellous OK
tent, beauty and utility, with harbors
that can hold all the fleets of the world.
1t seems impossible to credit that in
such land and under just and bere-
ficient government, there can be women
and children wanting for food and
clothes and the common necessities of
life, and strong men by millions, able
and anxious to work. cannot find the
opportunity to earn a livelihood for
their little ones.
But this condition exists and there
must be a cause for it. Whatever the
other causes may be, the fundamental
difficulty is the currency-its INSULT
cheney in volume, the imperfections of
its circulation, and its dearness through
the appreciation of gold.

DuN'S COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
The Sensational Advance In Wheat ths
Event of the Week.

The Sensational Advance In Wheat the
Event of the Week.
NEW YORK, Oct 23.-R. G. & Co. in
their weekly review of trade say:
The event of the week has been the
sensational advance of wheat to SO
cents for cash on Thursday, rise of
81 cents, and its fall to ~ on Thurs
day, gaining ~ on Friday. The rise
was magnifed by covering of specula-
tive sellers who imagined the advance
had gone too far, but was at the bot
tom based on an extraordinary foreign
demand, which has engaged grain ves-
sells from all Pacific as we'll as Atlantic
ports for months ahead. How great
the shortage in ordinary European sup
plies may be is the point of doubt and
speculation, but none now question
that shipments from the Pacific coast
to India and the decrease in Russian
yield are important, and the buying of
enormous quantities for export, with
engagements of freight room at higher
rates, express the belief of European
dealers.
Wheat exports from the Pacific coast
are large, and over 500, 900 bushels per
day have been engaged ahead for
some time. The Atlantic exports
about 9UO, 900 bushels larger than last
year for the week, have been, in Octo.
Der 6,570,213 bushels, -four included,
against 5,0s6, 3ss last year. Corn moves
largely and at lower prices, having
declined a cent for the week. Cotton
has advanced a sixteenth to eight
cents, with only moderate transac-
tions and heavy receipts from pIanta-
tions. Estimates of the yield vary all
the way from Mr.. Neill's 1000, 600
bales to much less than 5000, 900, but
the impression grows that the yield
will be large.
The most striking feature of indus
trial returns is the number of con
tracts conditioned upon the election.
The movement of currency to the
interior has been only $500, 600 for
the week, and the market for CONNER
cial loans has been dull. The volume
of business shown by exchanges has
been 81 per cent. less than last year
and 90 per cent. less than in 1892.
Failures for the week have been 274
in the United States, against 231 last
year, and 60 in Canada, against IS last
year.

Life PRINCIPLES.

Christianity brought into the world
three great energiziDg principles OF
life-the divine fatherhood, human
brotherhood, immortality. Christ
came to bring a more abundant life.
He was the life as well as the light Of
men. Gods fatherhood overarches the
world with dome that fails to cover
none Human brotherhood is inclusive
of all races and peoples. The immor-
tally makes man the citizen of two

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Gov. Altgeld was

Mr.. Morrison, but the governors
friends insisted upon something more
specific. In reply to the question
asked by a reporter:

to assist in making him president of

Z. Morrison knew that he was n

easily discernible. 1 have not read

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ica1 ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs ON which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order TO get It's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you ror-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup %
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

cities and also talked at Danville,
Paris, Charlestown, Mattoon, Sullivan,
Petersburg, Havana and Pekin.
The train was in charge of Col W.

commissioner of Illinois, and through
his efforts Mr.. Bryan was able to full
fill his engagements with greater
promptitude than in other states
where the committees persistently
kept him behind the scheduled time.
Sixteen speeches was the days rec
