Our rIost Prosperous Period.

The greatest prosperity ever felt by the
industrial class of this country was at the
close of the rebellion. The amount of
money then in circulation was $40 per
capita. That sum at present would
amount to about five billions of circulting
money. Farmers owned their farms clear
of incumbrance of debt. Enterprising
farmers could purchase farm, pay part
cash down and reduce the debt on the
property rapidly. besides improving the
place. With now not more money than
IS per capita-ifeven that much, which is
doubtful-the farmers are in hard straits.
They can scarcely make both ends meet
when their farms are clear of debt, and
never can extinguish a mortgage Other
lines as well as farming were equally pros
porous. Day laborers received good wages
and steady employment. Public works
were being prosecuted all over the coun
try. The retail business was never so
prosperous as at that time, few bad debts
and excellent profits were made. Every
one was busy, that wanted work, every
body contented, crime and suicides were
very rare. Burglary and robbery were
seldom heard of.
But as soon as the war money began to
be destroyed, had times commenced; peo-
pie began to fail in business, the number
of failures increasing steadily every year
till the IS7o's were reached when the bus
mess crashes became almost volcanic. If,
in place of bonds and debt, which that
miserable fraud and failure, Cleveland,
was the means of heaping on the people,
$262, ooo,o of legal tenders had been
put i'll circulation and that amount in
creased as the increase in population and
business demanded, there is no reason
why the same prosperity should not again
bless the country. There is vast undevel-
oped wealth to be utilized in this country,
great public Improvements to be made
which would afford steady work and bus
mess for the population. All that is
needed IS money i'll circulation to work
with. We know the prosperity which
this amount of money per capita has pro-
duced, within the memory of middle aged
persons, and this is the strongest reason
possible for believing that the same
potent cause would produce the same
happy results. There is but one diabol-
zeal reason for its being withheld. The
Rothschild gold gang of bunco steerers
has bribed the government party leaders
OF this country, and has them under
pay or under their thumb"
