tiOns, but, rather to weaken 1t while
strengthening the banks In bond issue
after bond issue the contractionists see
their profit. The bonds so issued make
basis for more bank currency, and the
more bank currency is issued the harder
under the gold standard for the govern
ment to maintain gold payments, and the
more pressing the demands for -edemp-
tion of greenbacks and treasury notes in
gold.
Thus by making the greenbacks and
treasury notes greater and greater drain
on the gold reserve. the money clique hope
to finally bring about the retirement of
greenbacks and treasury notes And then
the burden of redeeming their notes in
gold being thrown on the banks they
would soon be forced, willingly no doubt,
to suspend gold payments and thereafter
having the control over the currency en-
tirely in their own hands they would be
in position, by arbitrarily expanding and
contracting the quantity OF money, TO
raise and depress prices at will. to the ruin
of producers but to their own great profit.
The producing classes would be at their
mercy and thus finally the power of the
speculative cliques become supreme.
The money cliques push their plans in
a covert way but their purpose to gain
control over the currency is fixed. The
leaders of the contractionists are crafty;
their followers, the gold theorists in gen.
eral, sem to be blind to their purposes and
aims.

TAX-DODGING BY THE RICH.

The success Of the heirs of Jay Gould
in escaping taxation in New York by the
dodge of fixing residence" somewhere
else is but another sign of the times.
These heirs inherited a fortune Of $780,
900. They resisted an assessment of
$4,000, and have succeeded in avoiding
any taxation in this city for state or local
purposes. In doing this they simply fol-
lowed the example of most of their class.
NOT TEN PER CENT OF THE WEALTH
IN NEW YORK KNOWN AS PERSONAL
PROPERTY is ACTUALLY ASSESSED,
ALTHOUGH 1T rs SUBJECT TO TAXA-
TON The World says that young Astor
recently swore down his assessment like
a gentleman and plutocrat. And last
year combination of millionaires suc-
ceeded in multiplying the income tax.
though in doing so it was necessary to get
the supreme court TO revoke its own re-
cent decision.
Thus does plutocracy escape its just
share of the cost of government. 1t Is
calculated that fully 80 per cent Of all
the tariff and internal revenue taxes Is
collected from the necessaries of people
of small means. Soon after the war every
tax laid specifically upon wealth-yielding
some S235 ,00O, 900 annually was repealed
There is now no federal tax left based
upon the just principle of taxation ac-
cording to benefits received and ability to
pay. Labor and consumption pay; wealth
escapes.
And yet the tax-dodgers and plutocrats
who corrupt politics and control the gov
ernment to their own selfish ends Won

signs of discomfort multiply, and that

ITS RESURGAM 1885,
CWritten for the Representative
In the city of st. Louis, builded by river
grand,
Flowing on and on forever over ever
changing sand,
On July 22d. eighteen hundred ninetysix
The Populists and Silver men will show
the ''plutes' some tricks.
Gathered there from every corner of Co.
lumbia's fair land,
The sons of patriot Sires will organize a
band
That will trample down oppression, every
form of tyranny,
and free the land from robber rule and
Tory infamy.
Then hurrah for ninety-six, the people
shall be free;
Our fathers God has willed it. and we
know that it shall be-
Where Americans united, move forward
on the foe,
The very earth shall tremble, and tyrants
have to go.
Then go, tyrants, go, go, go, go!
James Monroe is resurrected. rings his
from sea to sea,
Hands off. ye bloody tyrants, ye spawn
of monarchy.
Take back your hateful presence, ye wor-
shippers of gold;
Our fathers God is leading us, our fathers
God of old.
The usurer, the syndicate, the bond thief,
all must go;
They all are British allies, so taught our
great Monroe.
Well help them pack their luggage about
November oh!
And see them off in f1rst-class style, "to
Yurrup, doncher know.
Chorus
And when brave American the people
shall elect
To steer our gallant ship of state in safety
past helFs gate,
Well cast the traitor, Shermans and Cleve-
lands, to the shark
And let them go to Arnold. Hurrah for
old John Stark.
Hurrah for Putnam. Green and Gates, and
every mothers son,
That followed in the glorious band of
Father Washington.
This bloodbought land is ours-by al! the
gods of war,
Well make our money as we please, and
ask not king nor czar.
Chorus
Then fling Old Glory to the breeze, and
let her wave for all
OF human kind, who bless the earth by
labors sweat and toll.
Equal before the law we stand, of God
and man as well;
Law is not law that crushes men, and
drives them down to hell.
The fires blazed on Bunker Hill and light
ed patriot lines
Through Valley Forge. at Bennington, and
Yorktown ever shines:
And brighter dawns the perfect day, when
peace shall reign supreme.
And liberty and law. no longer be, on
earth, an idle dream.

"busts" and he finds to his sorrow
that his party god has stolen his mon

tralia or Africa and all that is left in
its place is few buck skin notes, not
worth the paper they are written on.
OF course he does not relish that
kind Of treatment and busters
around about in an indignant manner
until he reads in his party paper
which is published by a poverty
stricken hanger on Of the grand old
party. who also poses as Christian)

speculation! OF course he swallows
this sanctimonious lie, and when the
absconding cashier who stole his mon
ey bobs I'D as a candidate for Congress
On his party ticket he votes for him
without protest, and every now and
then you will hear this hOllow-headed
patriot talking about some other per-
son being an ignorant man, an anar-
chiSt, or communist.
Ye gods isn't it enough to disgust
any man who thinks for himself to
face these conditions and know they
actually exist.
Verify. it is too true that ignorance,
bigotry and rascality 60 hand in hand;
and, as result Of that com binatiOn,
the ragged protectionist, although
scare-crow in his mOrtgaged corn field,
votes for protection" on every thing
but that which is produced by his
own labor. He will stand at the polls
shivering from the cold Minnesota
wind that Sits through his highly
protected Shoddy clothing, waiting for
a turn to cast his ballot in favor of
cheap wheat, oats, barley, corn and
hogs, and dear money and the banker
who stole his deposits.
Thieves go to our Legislatures and
Congress as the peoples representa-
tives while millionaires openly trade
their daughters virtue for the title
that is supposed to be acquired by
the purchase of pro tenn husband
with few millions Of dollars which
they accumulated from the squeezing
process to which they have subjected
the prOtectionist patriot Of the corn
field.
1t would appear to any thoughtful
man that only omnipotent power can
save the greatest republic Of all his
tory from the destruction to which
these conditions are hurrying it.

Jordan was confirmed on April 15
On the goth and 2lst he was in Wash
ington with his bonds, which were
duly approved, While in Washington
at this time he had repeated inter
views with Grover Cleveland, the
character Of which is easily to be in
ferred from what followed. 1t is
enough to say, in this place, that from
the hour that Jordan's bonds we're ap-
proved, events of supreme Importance
to the American people moved with
astonishing rapidity between Wall
the agency of this man. His mission
as confidential mutual friend was
brief, but was full of action.
Jordan returned from Washington
to New York on Friday, April Il, and
arrived in the latter city about $50 in
the afternoon. He went directly from
the railway station to the Chase Ma
tional Bank, Is Nassau Street, where
his coming was awaited by Henry
w. Cannon. president of the Chase
National, and j. Edward Simmons,
president of the Fourth National
two of the most restless and active Of
ten or twelve particularly restless and
active men who constitute the con-
trolling force in the Associated Banks,
and who constitute also the New
York National Bank Ring"
A short, but certainly an important
meeting took place between these
three men, for as consequence of it
Cannon went to Was shington on mid
night train. He arrived in that city
on Saturday morning, April %, and
stayed there until Sunday afternoon,
April %, in the meantime 'interview-
ing" with Grover Cleveland. 1t was
alleged that he carried to Washington
a proposition from the New York
bankers, but she was disinclined to
talk" and would not say what the
bankers proposition was-whether it
was for panic or something else; al
though he was willing to say, that "he
believed his visit would bear fruit"
In view of what passed between
Cleveland and the New York Nation
| al Bank presidents within the next
six or seven days. in all of which Can
non was most actively concerned, it is
quite certain that his visit did bear
fruit, such as it was.
XVIII.
Jordan was sworn into office Satur-
day morning. April %. His first Off
cial or semi-official act, after taking
the oath of office and then possession
of the sub Treasury, was to arrange a
meeting with certain National Bank
presidents in the afternoons; and q
meeting took place accordingly in the
Managers room at the Clearing House
-''Clearing House. being the high
sounding title of an Office on the third
| floor of the Chase National Bank
| building, in which the daily balances
! due to and from several banks belong
ing to the Clearing House are ascer-
tained-an operation usually perform
ed by inferior clersk, and effected in
| forty to sixty minutes.
The National Bank presidents who
met Jordan on this occasion were
George G. Williams, president of the
| Chemical National; Ebenezer X.
Wright, president Of the Park Ma
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1896-04-01

tional; George f. Baker, president Of
the First National; Edward HI. Per-
kins, Jr., president Of the Importers
and Traders Natlonal; James T.
Woodward, president Of the Hanover
National; r. M. Galloway, president
of the president of the Mercants' Ma
tional; and william A. Nash, president
of the Corn Exchange "a State) Bank.
This meeting was said to have been
informal, and its proceedings were Sc.
cret; both Jordan and the bankers re-
fusing to give any information about
it.
But it was an important meeting;
one in which, for some reason, Grover
Cleveland was so deeply interested
that Jordan went to Washington en-
late evening train specially to make
report of its proceedings. He went to
the White House early on Sunday
morning, and had long conference
with Grover Cleveland, an which Can
non was present.
Xix.
Jordan was extremely Secretive in
his movements at Washington on thin
OccaSiOn-taking a room at hotel
without registering; trying a SO to es-
cape the observation of the newspaper
men, in which. however, he does not
appear to have been wholly successful.
Like Cannon, he would not talk; he
refused to make any statement as to
the object of his sudden temperance
at the capital within fortyeight
hours after leaving it to take posses
sion Of his Office in New York. But it
was already observed that he was act
ing as the 'confidential mutual
friend" of Grover Cleveland and the
New York bankers; and it was also
observed that, for some unexplained
reason, sudden excessive secrecy was
being practiced as to matters between
ers by all connected with the depart
ment "Mr. Jordan" said one who
was watchful of passing events, "has
become as secretive as Mr.. Carlisle"
Xxx.
Jordan and Cannon left Washington
in the afternoon, and arrived back at
New York late in the evening of Sun
day, April 90. Before leaving Wash
ington, Jordan wired certain National
Bank presidents to meet him at a
private house up town, Immediately on
his arrival; and to man the National
Bank presidents responded. The bank
ers present on this occasion we're
Henry w. Cannon, president of the
Chase National Bank: J. Edward Sim
mons, president OF the Fourth Ma
tional; James Il. Woodward, president
of the Hanover Nationals; and Brayton
Ives. president of the Western Nation
al. What took place at this meeting
is known only to Conrad N. Jordan
and the participant National Bank
presidents and their confederates, but
it will be agreed that it must have
been a matter Of extreme interest, or
of extreme urgency, or both, that led
to this late Sunday night council-and
it goes without saying that this late
Sunday night council was a conse-
quece Of the conference between Can
non, Jordan and Cleveland, at the
White House in Washington en- Sun
day morning. 1t was preliminary to a
more important meeting OF the bank
erS on the next day. as we shall now
see.
