this:

When this question is settled there

The rich thieves of the Union Stock
Yards who stole water from the Chi
cago city water works, by connecting
the water mains with pipes that run
into the packing and fertilizing manu-
featuring establishments of that nest
of millionaire anarchists, have not yet
been made even to pay for the water
that they stole, and no effort has been
made to indict them for the crime they
committed. Chicago is pretty steadily
engaged in hanging friendless and OBJ
scure men who commit murder; in i'm
prisoning little boys who, from their
environments are led into little pilfer-
ing; in Furnishing men who sometimes
steal to keep their children from starry
ing. and men who steal coat to keep
them from freezing in winter; but
millionaire Stock Yards thief perhaps
a prominent member OF the church and
a star in the social circle is permitted
to go unwhipped of justice. We have
changed our mind in regard to a stand
ing army. This country ought to have
millions of men under arms, for as
sure as the sun shines and the seasons
come and go, there will need to be
a soldier with fixed bayonet on every
third yard of our territory if this mon
strous perversion of justice goes on.
Talk of anarchy; talk of Furnishing it;
talk of its impracticability and its fol-
ly. 1t is the millionaire thieves who

Plenty of Money.

One of our Chicago dailies declares
that there is plenty of idle money in
the country, that is anxiously seeking
investment, and that anybody who has
good collateral can get all the money
he wants. That sort Of argument Is
wickedly misleading. OF course there
is idle money in the country, and OF
course it can be borrowed on good Sc
curity. Thousands of farmers could get
money by mortgaging their farms, and
when they had got 1t the farms would
practically belong to the money loan
ers. The farmer does not want to bor-
row money He wants simply to sell
his products at living prices. That he
cannot do. Why? Because business is
paralyzed; and what paralyzed it? The
legislation of Congress that established
the single standard and the calling In
of their loans by the banks few years
ago. Business is afraid to go ahead on
borrowed capital. 1t is afraid that II
will be crushed almost without notice
by the people who loan it money. The

ly low. The banks and the Shylocks are
masters of the situation. With less than
one-half the per capita circulation that
we need, they are able to hoard this
money and drive the people to despair.
Enlarge the circulating medium and
they cannot hoard the money; they
cannot build wall between their
vaults and the people by demanding
usurious interest or unusual security. II
is crime to put all the industries OF
the country into the grip of the money
owners, and that is what Congress has
done. All the money in the world will
do lis no good as long as it is locked in
bank vaults. What we want is to make
money so plenty that the vaults will
not hold it.-Farmers' Voice.

Don't go into polictics. You will only
be skinned. Only demagogues and agi-
tators want you to go into politics.
This is the advice Of the men who have
been getting the benefits of your votes
all your lives. They have grown fat
and domineering on your votes. They
have sold your votes to corporations
at so much head All bad laws in
favor of the property class attest this
fact. You are in politics now. You are
in politics at every election. You can't
keep out of politics. The men who want
labor unions to avoid politics are in the
pay or friendship of the people who
now fatten off your votes. They want
you to remain ignorant so they can
the unions if they vote to discuss poll
tics themselves and don't want you to
see how you are being used. They
fear it will injure the unions! They
are the men who will try to break up
the unions if they vote to discuss poll
tics. Members of unions who think
more of party prejudice than unionism
are the bane of organized labor. Labor
unions can control politics in their own
interest, but they must discuss politics
to learn how to do it. Why ask laws
of old party hacks? Why rot elect
men who want these laws without be-
ing asked? Every enemy OF the labor
ing men, every monopolist and en-
ployer, advises laboring men to remain
ignorant and vote as they have in the
Fast. Wake up, you sluggards.-

YOU ARE TO BLAME.
Tho Man Who Takes Kick Deserve

1t.
Thereisno sense in workingmen find
ing fault with their surroundings as
long as they are content to stand idly
by and let monopolists work their own
sweet pleasure. The man who is
robbed is just as much to blame as the
man who robs him If it Is in his power
to prevent the robbery. Instead Of
whining at their position workingmen
should realize that it is their own fault
If they are imposed upon. They con-
stitute the great majority of the voters
of the country, and at every election
they bob up serenely and deposit their
ballots to perpetuate the very state Of
affairs they acclaimed against. If they
are in favor of this kind of thing, and
they generally vote as If they were,
they should be manly enough to brace
up and take their Cruel like men and
do less whining. When the masses
really mean what they say they will
tell the robber he has gone far enough
and must go no farther, and they will
vote in such way as to show that
they mean business. The man who is
always running down the professional
politician and then votes for him on
election day is pretty contemplate
individual and worthy Of no considera-
ton at the hands Of his fellows. To
abolish robbery and poverty, and one
always follows the other, it Is necessary
for labor to change it's diet and take a
good-sized dose of common sense, then
it will talk less and do more. You
cannot kill monopoly by supporting
it's ticket. You must get hustle on
and do little voting for yourself, and
until you are sensible enough to do so
you will get what you deserve-the
bone, with all the meat scraped of.-In-
dustrial Banner.

can steal and plumber and yet be safe
from the clutches of the law, while the
little thief is roaded to prison, who
make anarchists and create the spirit
of anarchy even in ordinarily loyal
hearts. In the name Of justice and our
civilization we demand that the rich
thief shall take his place in the dock
beside the ragged violator of law who
has stolen loaf of bread or pigs
foot at the Stock Yards, to feed his
starving children.-Farmers Voice.

NOTES AND COMMENT.
Snap Shots Taken at tho Passing Pro-
cession.

Snap Shots Taken at tho Passing FRO
cession.
The democrats in Tennessee have
come as near adopting populist plat
form as the gold element and a proper
respect for the seventh commandment
would permit them. They declare, in
their state PLATFORM, for rigid re-
striction of the federal power, for the
largest measure Of individual freedom;
for local government; for free sill
yer at the ratio of IL to regardless OF
the action of any other nation; that both
gold and silver shall be legal tender
from Dan to Beer Sheba; against the
issue of interest bearing bonds; against
payment in gold of government obliga-
tons; for the repeal of the 10 per cent
tax on state banks; opposition to ma
tional banks and so down to 19thly.
That is to say they get on nineteen
sides of the dear people in one platform
and not breath of suspicion of ism"
in it. In the populist platform proper
there are about nine distinct demands
or propositions, and we are accused of
wanting the earth and the fulness
thereof" But this Tennessee platform
outreaches us at ratio of 16 to l
regardless of all that has been said
heretofore. And not hint not horn
footed in favor of trimming it. And
now the question arises: how would
the populists look trotting along side
of such an imposing structure with
little bobtailed platform that didn't
have anything in it that wasn't in the
democratic platform, and with an
apology on their lips from bringing
that out in the race for political pie?
And the Arkansas democrats are go
ing to follow now in a few days. They
will not be a whit behind their brethren
in Tennessee in building their plat
form. They have got up their free
silver steam, and will have their an
ti-bank and bond pitchforks on hand
If they will take a pointer from us
We'll tell them how they can discount
the Tennessee fellows and take all the
wind out of the populist sails. Declare
for the referendum. OF course they
won't know what that means but most
of them will likely be too drunk to ask
any questions, and if they do they can
be told that it is a new kind of ballot
box that will withstand the X rays of
populist investigation. Just do this
boys and make the Tennessee demo-
Gratis mad with envy. Of course it
don't make the least bit of difference
what you promise, you don't intend. to
perform it anyway.

Old Uncle Ben Colvin lives at D..
Charles, Michigan. He is an old green
hacker, one of the anti-fusion and anti
compromising kind. He has held his
town in line against both old parties
for twenty years. Some one wrote and
asked him to give the difference in the
cost of 500 bank bill for 20 years.
Here is his reply:
"A national bank 500 for 20 years
costs the people $3.50 to keep it afloat,
while the government $500 costs the
people nothing but the printing of it
to keep it afloat for 20 years. Now to
prove: The bond under the bank
drawing Az per cent in twenty years
would be $50 without compound. A
banker never loans his money below
Z per cent That would be S140 in 20
years without compound; adding that
to the $50. there is a clean robbery of

lists in 1862:
The Hazard Circular.
Slavery is likely to be abolished by
the war power and chattel slavery de-
stroyed. This, and my European
friends are in favor of, for slavery is but
the owning of labor, and carries with 1t
the care for laborers, while the Euro
pean plan, led on by England, Is for
capital to control labor by controlling
wages. This can be done by controlling
the money. The great debt that capt.
talists will see to it Is made out Of
the war, must be used as a measure to
control the volume of money. To ac-
complish this bonds must be used as
banking basis. We are now waiting to
get the Secretary of the Treasury to
make this recommendation to Con-
gress. 1t will not do to allow the green
back, as it is called, to circulate as
money for any length of time, for we
cannot control that.
This one afterwards issued by New
York bankers to the National Banks:
The Bank Circular.
Dear Sir: 1t is advisable to do all in
your power to sustain such prominent
daily and weekly newspapers, especial
ly the agricultural and religious press,
as will oppose the issuing Of green
back paper money, and that you also
will hold patronage or favor from all
applicants who are willing to oppose
the government issue of money. Let the
government issue the coin and the
banks issue the paper money of the
country, for then We can better protect
each other. To repeal the law creating
the National Bank notes or to restore
to circulation the government issue of
money will be to provide the people
with money, and will therefore serious
ly affect your individual profit as bank
ers and lenders. See your Congressman
at once and engage him to support our
interests that We may control legisla-
ton.
This one issued March, 1898, by the
Bankers Association to all National
Banks:
The Panic Bulletin.
Dear Sir: The interests of the Ma
tional Bankers require immediate
financial legislation by Congress. Sill
yer, Silver Certificates and Treasury
notes must be retired, and the National
Bank notes upon a gold basis made the
only money. This will require the au-
thorization of from $50O,00O,0OO to ST.
900 10000 of new bonds as basis of
circulation You will at once retire
in one-half Of your loans. Be careful
to make a money stringency felt among
your patrons, especially among influ-
entail business men. Advocate an ex-
ira session OF Congress for the repeal
of the purchase clause of the Sherman
law and act with the other banks of
your city in securing large petition to
Congress for its unconditional repeal.
Use personal influence with Congress-
men and particularly let your wishes
be known to your Senators. The flu
ture life of National banks as fixed and
safe investments depends upon imme-
date action as there is an increasing
sentiment in favor of government legcA
tender notes and silver coinage.

He has had a lively time of it during

stirring things up until his aims have
been accomplished, then he will return
to Dakota and push the work of build
