School Essay.
THE SCHOOL MASTER IN THE DE-
SERTED VILLAGE |

SERTED VILLAGE.
The school master came back &C
the village years after he taught
there. He is old now and walks
with a cane. The village was a
small inhabitated place; a mere
assemblage of houses.
As he walks along the path al
most trodding the green grass
growing closely along the edges of
the path, he wonders why he does
not see any of the rosy-f faced little
boys and girls that he used to
teach.
AS he strobe past a villa where
the ivy green grew and tangled its
leaves i'll those of the tall
hedges, which served as fence to
guard this mansion and its in
mates from the highway, he saw
lying in hammock a saucy, rosy
faced little girl, her brown curls
falling over her fair shoulders and
a pretty pink trock which we'll be-
came those large, black eyes.
He thinks and says to himself:
That child looks so much like
the quiet, little Haze! l used to
teach. wonder could it be sheo
Why. of course not: l am so
stupid. Hazel is grown and mar
ried by this time, although it
might be her child"
So he passes through the gate
and as he approaches the child she
at first looks like startled fawn,
but is very jolly companion after
a few words are spoken.
"a nice day, my little girl" he
said.
Il am not your girl; l am
papa's.
what is your Nance
Fay
bay wliat?'
"No, it isn't Fay what it is Fay
ODare.'
Then he thinks, "Can this be
Johnie's child. Yes, he sees so
many ways about her like the
saucy little John lie used to teach.
Then he draws nearer to the
house. Yes, that must be John
and Hazel sitting on the piazza.
What a beautiful day he spent
talking over the past. All his
pupils had turned out as he eNpec-
ted. All have good homes, good
husbands and good wives.
But Bell-the saucy, golden
haired, little Bell. He used to
think how could she ever settle
down in life. So she had married
George Dondsen, the dark-eyed,
olive. skined, but handsome George.
He spent the afternoon with
Hazel and John promising to visit
them week before returning to
his home.
Then he started back to the vii
lage.
"Sweet was the sound when oft at
evening close,
Up yonder hill the village muir
murs rose;
There as he passed with careless
steps and slow,
The mingled notes came softened
from below
1t was Bells voice, the same one
with which he used to sing "The
Beautiful Bell Brandon his fav-
orite song. He never thought
she would turn out SO we'll for that
song tloated from a very snug and
pretty little cottage.
He always knew Hazel would
turn out we'll with her quiet digni-
fed air. Hazel and he would call
on all his old scholars next week
The Village wasn't SO deserted
after all, though it was very, very
much changed.

siders the Chicago platform declara-
tion Of war on their system. They are as
much alarmed as the English nobility
were when the first reform bill was in
troduoed in Parliament. They fear being
compelled to bear just proportion Of
the burdens Of government. They look
upon the men of the West and South as
partially educated, uncouth lot of
semi-barbarians, good enough to create
wealth but not to keep it; good enough
to pay taxes; good enough to go INTO the
army and navy to fight, if necessary,
but by no means good enough to govern
or to control the National destiny.
"This is what the East is in revolt
against, rather than against the free
coinage Of silver, which is but mere in
cident Of the proposed new deal. If the
East could be insured against an income
tax and against general Encouragement
Of the burdens of government, it is very
probable that there would not be such
heroic Mysteries at the suggestion Of free
coinage. For, be it remembered, that
the men Of the East have money and
that they can buy silver if it becomes
profitable to do so. The income tax is
what the East fears most. And the East
is we'll aware that with Bryan in the
White House and his friends in major
ity in Congress, an income tax will be as
certain as the coming Of day. 1t was
this fear of the income tax that Marc
Hanna had in mind when he appointed
139 millionaires Of the East finance
committee for the Republican National
committee. This finance committee of
Mr.. Hanna's selection, am reliably in
formed, owns or controls half billion Of
dollars"

powerful they really are, and the rest
will come by itself. The reconciliation
Of silver inevitably sooner or later will
lead to two important recognitions:
First, that even the prosperity which
is due to cheaper and more abundant
money cannot do any final good, unless
the people get hold Of the land. The
very fact that the most immediate effect
of the reform would be an immense in
crease Of wealth for the landlords who
are fortunate enough to own silver
mines, must help land reformers.
The second recognition will be the in
congruency Of a money system which
heaps up an immense stock Of metal in
the vaults of banks or treasures, never
to come forth in circulation, because the
people will prefer the paper issued on
the faith of these metal heaps. Sooner
or later the people will see that this
paper can be issued without the useless
metal in the vaults, and an immense
amount OF labor can thus be turned into
more useful channels.
Let the people once get awake. Let
them throw over the machine politician,
destroy the old party lines, and the be-
ginning of the end will have come for
capitalism.
The advocate., 1896-09-09
Hanna Depends on Capitalists.

The following, taken from the matter
prepared by it's Washington correspond
ent for the st. Louis Republic, indicates
what the Eastern monied interest really
thinks Of the coming campaign:
"Hanna's main hope is in the big capi-
talists, the trusts, the gold spectators.
And-will you believe it?-these Eastern
gentlemen are not half as much afraid
Of free coinage per Sc as they would like
people to think. 1t is the general
change in conditions that the Eastern
men are afraid Of. The success of the
Chicago experiment would mean the un-
horsing Of a caste. Since the Civil war,
the government has been made an engine
to create wealth for class. Eastern
men labored to make the States bounded
by Canada, the Allegheny mountains,
the Potomac river and the Atlantic ocean
the beneficiary Of our monetary and tax
ing systems. They saw that the states
men Of England were able to make
India, Australia, Ireland, Canada and
South Africa contribute to the wealth
and glory of England. Why could not
the same system be established and per-
petuated here? Why could not the
great empire between the Alleghenies
and the Pacific, the Potomac and Mex
leo, be made to bear the same relation to
New York, New England and Pennsyl-
vaniR that the British Empire bears to
England? This was the dream, the
hope, the policy Of the East. The Civil
war gave New York and New England
the opportunity. They embraced it
eagerly. New York and New England
have been in the saddle for more than
thirty years. The craftsmanship Of
New York and New England has con-
trolled the government during that time.
The South and West have borne the
burdens and the East grew rich. A
leisure class has been created in the East
that taught itself to believe that it was
born to rule. The East cultivated the
society Of England and absorbed Eng
lish manners and customs. The daugh-
ters Of the East intermarried with the
sons of the English nobility. A trip
from New York to London was not
looked upon more seriously than trip
from New York to Newport. A trip
from New York to st. Louis or from New
York to Chicago was feared ss entailing
untold hardships and privstions. The
wives and daughters Of the East spend
more than half their time in Europe

Counsel and Advice of the New York "Sun."
The New York Sun, Mckinley organ,
urges bond brokers and the money inter-
est to contribute literally to corrup-
tion fund, as money is sorely needed to
carry the doubtful States for gold. Thus
the anti-popular party always depends
on humbug and deception, misrepresen-
tation and abuse, and corruption Of the
voter to carry an election and compass
it's end.
But in case free coinage triumphs in
spite Of the great Wall street corruption
fund, then the SWn advises it's readers as
follows:
"The owner of real estate and tangible
personal property will neither lose or
gain by any alteration in the money
standard, hence everyone who has money
at his disposal can protect himself
against loss through free silver by con-
verting his money into land, houses and
merchandise of various kinds.
Under the reign Of silver at 16 to a
farm or q house and lot now worth
$4,000 will be worth $4,000; bushel
Of wheat now selling for so cents will sell
for 81, and similar articles in
the same proportion"
This is very sensible advice. Buy
land; buy houses; invest your money.
And no doubt it's readers will accept its
counsel; so that an era Of enterprise and
investment would be started at once and
the nightmare of doubt and depression
that now hangs over the land be speed
lily dissolved. For thus property will
regain its lost value, the hand Of bank
ruptcy be stayed, and everything take on
a new aspect and new hope. OF course
no one will be discouraged at the pros
pect after this, for the Sun has solved
the vexed problem in the most sensible
and conclusive manner.

BINETALLISM- NATIONAL
AND INTERNATIONAL.


1t being only q question Of power, all
that the poor and oppressed have to OBJ
tain is the power, and they will also have
the right. To attain this power nothing
is needed but to know their strength,
and the time at last seems to have come
when this desideratum begins to be near
its attainment. If had no other proof
Of it, it would have been furnished to me
by the fury Of the oapitalistic press of
this country as the news were wired over
from Chicago. Radicals, Unionists or
Conservatives for once were united in
one fearful howl. When read that a
pack Of anarchists and communists had
gotten hold Of the great Democratic
party, that the thieVing band which put
up the man Bryan as their candidate did
their best to forever tarnish the good
name OF the great republication read
all this and much more to the same
effect, l felt my elsted heart beat
quicker. knew the time so long vsinly
hoped for at last had come-the day
when ong-suffering people had at last
opened their eyes, began to stretch their
powerful limbs, and to prepare for battle
with their pigmy oppressors, astonished
that they had covered before them 30
long.
Looking at the question in this light,
expect to be excused il l entirely pass
over the question whether the American
people have the right to make silver the
currency Of the land, which, as have
shown under heading No. 2, would be
the immediate consequence Of bimetal-
lism unless carried through information
ally. All have to investigate is whether
this reform will have the effect which its
defenders expect from it. hope need
not prove that it is reform, for even If
it did nothing more than give temporary
relief to the oppressed millions, it would
deserve this name. To find out whether
the relief is more than temporary we
have to enter a little deeper into the
cause Of the crisis.
The cause Of the crisis, as l have
pointed out as far back rs 1883, is the
increasing load Of debt, or rather OF
tribute claims; for land titles, though
they can be classified under the head of
instruments for tribute collections, can
not be called debentures II the tribute
was collected in the form OF products Of
labor or services, the crisis would not
exist, or rather it would not exist in ita
well-known almost incomprehensible
form. We might have very rich and
very poor people, we might have lazy
minority served upon by the hard
working masses-a spectacle such as the
world has seen from times immemorial;
but we would not have anybody COM

ton and overpopulation-two explana.
tions which mutually exclude each
The advocate., 1896-09-09

The explanation is to be found in the
fact that the very rich do not consume
the totality Of their incomes, nor do they
invest their savings in the purchase o.
machines, houses or other kinds Of wealth
produced by human labor; at least only
a very small part OF it ls invested IN this
way. The bulk is invested in land titles
mortgages, government bonds, etc.-in-
Vestments which have this in common,
chat they to a great part do not give
employment to the workers, because
they do nothing but transfer tribute
claims. AS this transfer takes place
from the hands Of people who consume
their incomes to those Of Oversatisfied
millionaires, or as q new load is laid on
people whose spending power thus be-
comes reduced, whereas their creditors
do not increase their own expenses in
proportion, the unavoidable consequence
must be a continually increasing gap be-
tween productive power and actual pro-
duction. In other words, the debt
increases much faster than production,
because the creditors do not accept
products in payment, or at least only one
scarce product which the debtors cannot
procure because there is not enough to
be had to pay more than one thirtieth Of
the debts-gOld.
Could the remonetization of silver
remedy this state Of things? Temporal
rily, no doubt. It's reconciliation will
at once reduce the total of the debts, to
begin with, and its immense quantities
would so much overflow the money mar
ket that money would be really easy,
which means that work would be in de-
mRnd. But all this would only last q
very short period, because such reform
would not begin TO touch field in which
reform is much more needed. mean
