The great man was so great that he
held thirty million two-legged animals
in his left hand and thirty-five million
in his right, in perfect balance. At the
same time great eagle appeared at
Washington. When the eagle spread
out his wings they touched Boston and
San Francisco at the same time. The
great man took the great bird on his
hands and named the great eagle Con
gress." He decided to break the eagle
to be a gentle servant for his private
service. In his boundless wisdom he
decided not to use physical force but
to starve nearly to death, and it was a
success. The great man then said,
my little country is not fit for great
man; guess l will take trip to Jupiter
and give that little globe an object les
son, and my eagle will fetch me there"
He then cut large piece Of meat out Of
a farmers heap, put the meat on the
point of his sword, seated himself on
tho eagles neck, holding the sword in
his right hand, with the meat twelve
inches ahead of the birds head, and a
bIack-snake in his left hand, whipping
the bird all the time in order to make
his meat tender. The eagle, flying for
the meat, shot through the air like a
cannon ball. AS the air was full of
road dust from below and meteor dust
from above, the great mans eyes be-
came of no account. For the sake of
producing light he put gold piece in
his mouth, but still the Egyptian dark
ness prevailed he then swore by his.
greatness that gold was of no account
at Jupiter. Presently the eagle col
lided with great wall, and the great
man touched solid ground, but dark
ness still prevailed. where am 1 at?
Perhaps in hades! I desire a better
my party, and took my nation by the
throat and choked the life out of her;
but if am in hades it is step in the
right direction. I will meet the rich
man here" Presently the rich man
appeared, plated with gold and powder
ed with diamonds. Seeing little ami
maj crawling on the ground with yell
low speck in its mouth, he picked it
up with his right hand and put it in
the palm of his left, looked at it but
could not tell what it was; he put it
under powerful microscope and pro-
nounced it to be genuine American
gold bug" Well, the rich man charged
ten million dollars for entertainment
and return ticket. The farmers paid
the BILL. Fatland, Newark, ILL.,

$70,000,000,0 900. 1t is easy to see from
this that the Constitution did not know
what 1t was talking about. There are
many more people who believe million
aires can be made without making pau
pers. 1t can't be done. There is not
enough money and property to go
around.
No man every honestly made $1,O00,-
600. Many persons must be robbed to
enable q man to get million dollars.
Here is the pace. There is $1,000 per
capita. To make $4,000 one must
make 10 paupers to make 100000, 100
paupers must be made: to accumulate
81, 100000 necessitates the reduction Of
1000 persons to beggary. This rule is
as memorable as the laws of nature.
Two men can not own the same dollar
at the same time. Mrs. Vanderbilt
wears diamond worth $4,000. The
annual report of the coroner OF New
York shows that 1850 women are bur-
led in pottter's field every year. If there
were not $500 paupers Mrs. Vanderbilt
could not wear $4,000 diamond.
But We have overlooked something
production. If a man produce a mil
lion dollars he has not made one pauper
and would certainly be a blessing to
any community. But how much of the
wealth of this country is in the hands
Of those who produced it? Practically
none. The farmers of the agricultural
states have produced billions of dollars
worth of agricultural products in the
last 25 years and are poorer to-day than
they were in 1874. The same is true of
all other productive industries. Mil
lions of dollars are only aggregated
into the hands of one person by rob-
berry - railway robbery, Standard Oil
trust robbery, national bank robbery,
interest robbery, rent robbery, and
other robberies too numerous to men,
ton.
Some day the people will have sense
enough to stop this, but how long will
it take the people to see these things?
Come now, old boy, get wiggle on
yourself and help us along. Are you
doing your share? If not, try and do 1t.
Be a man or get out of the way.

Eternal Vigilance Is the Price of Lib

Missouri World: This paper has re-
peatedly advised the silver men of the
old parties who could not see their way
clear to poin the peoples party, to with
draw from the goldbug parties and form
party of their own, and expressed the
belief that if they would do so nothing
could keep them and the populists from
coming to an understanding. We said
that when old party ties were severed
they would not see so much in the popu-
list platform that was Objectionable to
them. When the single plank platform
was first advocated we asserted that
the money question in its broad sense
was alone worthy of a dozen cam
paigns. But we opposed the one-plank
move. The party was advancing rap
road and government loan and postal
bank propositions were dear to many
of our people. These principles of the
party had gathered to us, we had reason
to believe, a large per cent of our
strength. They were concrete and
caught the attention of people whose
attention could not be attracted by the
abstract money question. They were a
great aid to the party instead Of him
drance, as the one plank men thought.
While the question was up for discus
sion the bimetallic party was formed
at Washington City. In its platform
there was none of the alleged objec-
.ionable planks Of the Omaha platform.
We hoped this new party would be able
to gather round it's banner millions of
voters. But from all appearances it
proved a complete failure. One trip
across the continent by Mr.. Sibley and
little was heard of it afterward.
The silver men--most of them-who
had abandoned the old parties found
suitable place in the peoples party and

,is left no room for the bimetallic

this left no room for the bimetallic
party.
Our national committee by a majority
vote of those present, decided, last
week, at it's meeting in st. Louis, to ask
those desiring financial reform but who
are not ready as yet to join the peoples
party, to hold a national convention at
same time and place as the populist
convention with the view of getting to-
gether.
Months ago this paper suggested that
the silver men Of the old parties form a
party, if they could not come to us, ap-
point their county, state and national
committees and call a convention at
same time and place as the populist
convention, and expressed the belief
that the two bodies would agree. 1t
would seem that we had no room for
complaint at the committees action.
But the silver men have not withdrawn
from the old parties. They have not
formed state organizations. 1t is pos
sible that the bimetallic convention
will have no constituency. mat tEe
delegates will not be appointed by the
people. That the bimetallic convention
will represent very few people. That
it will simply serve to give the one
plank men a strength much larger than
the one plank sentiment, in case the
two bodies go together, and that with
part of the populist convention and all
of the bimetallic, they will be able to
dictate platform and candidates.
On the other hand, there may be
bolt from the republican convention
and there is pretty sure to be one from
the democratic convention, and it may
turn out that the bimetallic convention
will represent millions of voters. We
hope go. But let populists bear in mind
that Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty

ONE CLEVELAND ENOUGH.
jefferson City Pastor Would Pray the Lord
to Send No More Like Our President.


Jefferson City (Mo.) special: At the
First Methodist church in this city
last evening prayer services were held
for Our Rulers" There was a large
audience. The pastor of the church,
in announcing the subject, said: Let
us pray for our rulers. Let us not for
get our president, Grover Cleveland.
Let us pray that God in His mercy will
make him a wise and good man, doing
right for the sake of right; stunning
the wrong because it is evil. Like the
Englishman who prayed for George III.
let us ask God to assist him in wisely
guiding the affairs of state, bless him,
be merciful to him; but in Thy mercy
give us no more like him."

How little distance figures in the ex-
pense accounts is shown by two sena-
torial funerals. The bodies of Senator
Miller and Senator Hearst were taken
to California. Senator Miller's funeral
cost $3,532.34. Senator Hearst's cost
$21,322.55. Senator Vance was buried
in North Carolina, little more than a
days ride from Washington, but the
expense account was $4,43S.66.
The first senatorial funeral that cost
over $1,000 was that of Senator John C..
Calhoun, for whose interment in South
Carolina the government paid $3,1O6.47.
That same year the contingent expense
account was drawn on for another SEN
atorial funeral in South Carolina, and
the amount was only $1,72610. The
very next senatorial funeral was Henry
Clay's. 1t cost the senate $5,447.O2.
The minuteness with which the gener-
Gus accounts are kept is striking. No
pennies escape. In the case of Charles
Sumner of Massachusetts, the items
charged to the contingent fund
amounted to $4,6S799. Not in so much
as single cent was the government
wronged.
The funeral of Senator Hearst leads
all others in costliness. Henry Clay's
comes next, and after that is Charles
Summers. Senator Beck's body was
taken to Kentucky at cost of $4,453.45.
The custom of drawing on the contin-
gent funds for funerals of statesmen be-
gan, as already stated, with cases where
deaths occurred at Washington when
congress was sitting. 1t now extends
to senators and representatives wher-
ever they die. The last senatorial
death was that of Senator Stockbridge
of Michigan, which occurred at the SEN
ator's home. A committee of senator's
was appointed and sent to the funeral
at cost Of s1,171.92. Representative
Myron B. Wright died during recess in
the last congress. The sergeant
alarms made up party to attend the
funeral and charged the expenses,
$1,414.S0, to the contingent fund. 1t
will be noted that the cost of assem-
bling committee to witness the burial
of dead senator or representative at
his home when congress is not in ses-
sion is much greater now than the cost
of giving funeral in Washington and
of sending all the way home with an es-
cort was few years ago.
"The average congressional funeral"
says Senator PETER, sis nothing more
than a party of goodnatured gentlemen
having a good time at the public ex-
pense."
In the fifty-second and fifty-third con-
crosses there were twenty-one funerals
of representatives; that is twenty-one
funerals in four years from 1891 to 1895.
The cheapest was that of Representa-
tive James Phelan. of Memphis, who
died in the Bermudas, and was taken
thence to Tennessee at an expense to
the government of only $345.S0.. The
most expensive of these twenty-one flu
nerals was that of j. L. Chapman, of De-
troit, which cost $2,3OS4O. The body
of the Hon. ]. W. Kendall was escorted
to the mountain home in Eastern Ken
lucky at cost of So, 1856, and one of
the members who went with it wrote
for the papers a very humorous de-
scription of the expedition on his return
to Washington. w. b. 5.

The common people get punished for
doing the very things in a small way
that the office-holders and monopolists
do daily on a gigantic scale. Just as
kings and mobiles could kill, rob and
outrage womanhood by wholesale, but
for doing which the common people
were executed. The present state of
affairs in the United States is just the
ola state of oppression in another form.
