A KINTERGARDEN SCHOOL FOR
WALL STREET.
Some philanthropist should estab-
lish kindergarten school for the
bankers and stock brokers Of New
York city, iu which should be taught
the following simple facts:
l. That the United States is
composed OF forty-fve States, and
that its laws are made by Congress.
2. That Congress consists of two
branches-the Senate and the House
of Representatives.
3. That the Senate is composed of
two Senators from each State; that
little State like Rhode Island has just
as many votes in the Senate in favor
of the gold standard as the larger
State of California has in favor of free
silver coinage In like manner the
little State of Delaware is entitled to
the same number of votes in the
Senate as the great State of New
York.
1. That the whole country is di-
vided into three hundred and fifty
seven Congressional districts, and
the voters in each OF the districts
elect one representative.
5. That the President is not elected
by majority of the people, but by a
majority of the electors, who are
chosen in each State, each choosing
number of electors equal to the COM
bined number of their Senators and
Representatives in Congress.
6. That no law can be enacted with
out minority in both the Senate and
the House of Representatives.
7. That no State can be turned out
of the Union because it differs with
Wall street upon the subject of money
and that no Senator can be expelled
from the Senate because he favors the
free coinage OF silver.
S. That there are sixteen South
ern States.
8. That there are twenty-nine
Northern states, extending from the
Atlantic to the Pacific; that, of these,
sixteen lie east of the Missouri River
and thirteen lie west of that river.
10. That the thirteen Northern
states west of the Missouri River are
all in favor OF the free coinage of
silver.
IL. That not less than thirteen OF
the sixteen Southern states are for
free coinage.
-. That the Senate is therefore in
the hands cs the South and West,
while the House is in possession Of
the East and North.
13. That the silver strength in the.
Senate will be increased il the next
Congress-
When the average Wall street
banker and broker can take his mind
off of the vast problem of financing
the treasury" and get the foregoing
undeniable truths into his mind, he
will, in time, realize how puerile and
childish it is for him to suppose that
New York ideas can be legislated into
laws.
It is not time for thoughtful men
to consider the foregoing conditions
with view to ending the deadlock
now existing between the two Houses
of Congress? Mr.. Cleveland and his
bond speculating friends and gold
monometallists created panic two
years ago as an object lesson. What
would they say if majority of the
Senate should place free-coinage
bill on general appropriation bill
and give Eastern representatives the
choice of whether to defeat the bill,
Or pass it with the provision in it in
favor of silver coinage? A1r. Carlisle
deliberately advised this policy Feb
ruary 81, 1878. EIe then advocated
the passage of "Uill after bill" in sup
port of free coinage, and added that
if the President refused to sign sach
bills he recommended as a last resort
this simple remedy: Suspend the
rules and put them into general az
preparation bills with the distinct uD-
derstaudipg that if the people can get
no relief the government can get no
money" ."-Congressional Record, vol
7, part 5, p. IL.
This is only recalled as showing
that Secretary Carlisle once gave
advice to Congress that would make
a panic, if acted upon, equal in its
calamitics to the one artiicially
created by the Now York bankers in
1S93.-Silver Knight.
