Before a single dollar Of these notes
can get out of the bank and into Cir
culation there must be another debt s
made and the banker must get anot.l--
er interest. The notes are loaned out
to those who can give gilt edged Sc
curity for such interest as can be OBJ,
tanned. Thus every national bank
note is founded on debt and draws
double interest. Not SO with a gov
eminent issue Of money. Greenbacks
cost nothing but the printing, they are
not founded on debt and do not draw
interest. They go into circulation by
paying debts and if one gets lost the
whole people gain by it. In recent
issue of the Argus, Editor Birch says
that to see DR.. Johnson, writing latin
in the Tribune, is to make horse
laugh" Poor Birch, let US all pray
for him. He can't see that he is print
ing himself black. I say, that to see
so many homes advertised in the
goldbug sheets on forced sale, is
enough to make the angels weep.
I am not blaming the editors Of those
papers for printing such notices. 1t
is law, and must be done, and recess
sarly follows in the walk Of existing
conditions. But I think they should
not be proud of upholding the parties
who have made a system Of laws,
which have bred as nice a lot Of ras-
Gals as there ever lived on the face Of
the globe. And my brother farmers,
who have brought all this misery up
on us. The Eastern money lenders
have done this thing. They have
done it by lending money of one val
ue and exacting payment in money of
a higher value. They have done it by
legislation which enhanced the pur-
| chasing power of their money and
cutting down the value OF the farmers
land and products. The conspiracy,
| headed by the British bankers, to
pauperize American producers by con-
trolling the currency, and thereby
substituting white slavery in the place
Of Negro slavery. This conspiracy
is getting on SO that nc mortgaged
farmer who borrowed one half the sell
ling price of his land in better times
can ever hope to pay off the mortgage
until the free coinage Of silver and the
old volume Of currency is restored un
der which he contracted the debt, and
against this the money lenders and all
their hosts will fight to tbs bitter end
without regard to party. This is no
false alarm. The danger signal is
hanging out, and if the farmers want
to leave home to their children he
must wake up and bestir himself as he
never did before.
Last Saturday Dun's commercial
report said: ''Failures for the week
have been $50 in the United States,
against 266 last year, and 60 in Cana
da, against 81 last year. Ohyes, times
are getting better very fast. all that is
needed is another gold. bug admins
tration and more bonds.
Farmers and working men, do you
think you can stand another term.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
GRIEVANCE OF PORTUGUESE ON
THE ISLANDS.
Chinese and Japanese Laborers Have
Reduced Wages Below Cost of
Subsistence. of Europeans.

SAN FRANCISCO, April GORE
spondence of the United Press, per
steamer Mariposa).-On the morning
of March 26th, after several prelim-
mary meetings, nearly 700 Portuguese
marched in a body to the Government
building and sent in a petition ad-
dressed to the President and Legisla-
ture. Their demeanor was entirely
peaceable and orderly. Copies of the
petition were at once presented to the
two houses of the Legislature.
The grievance of the Portuguese is
that having been brought here by their
Government, and having settled in the
islands, and now increased to 1900
souls, they find themselves subjected to
an invasion of Chinese and japanese
immigrants, now over 10000, which
has reduced the wages of labor below
the cost of subsistence of the Euro
peans. They ask for measures to re-
strict Asiatic immigration, also for
more equitable system of taxation.
While no apprehension of disorder is
felt from the gathering Of Portuguese.
it is considered bad precedent for the
Legislature to be approached by large
assemblage, and is liable to have a

turb and intimidate the Legislature, es-
pecially if the Japanese should be in
duced to make a similar demonstra-
tion. 1t may be thought best to pro-
hibit by law the presenting Of petitions
in this manner.
A Registration Act has nearly COM
pleted it's passage by the two houses
with great unanimity. A similar Act
passed the Legislature of 1892, but was
lost on it's way to the Queen by some
unknown means. This Act compels
every male above Is years to be reg
istered, with full description and thumb
marks, also to produce his certificate of
registration whenever he removes to a
new location. The object of this meas
ure is to enable the Government to
identify and control the great number
of Asiatic vagrants in the republic. 1t
is estimated that $4,000 will be an
nually collected from Asiatics who have
hitherto evaded taxation. While the
whites generally favor this law, a few
are opposed to it on sentimental grounds
as favoring of European despotism.
Such a law is generally considered in
dispensable to any proper control Of
the Asiatic population. who are ex-
tremely difficult to identify.

LIQUOR MEN FOR MCKINLEY.
So Says the Secretary of the National
Retail Dealers Association.

CLEVELAND (O), April 9.-Robert
j. Hale of Chicago, General Secretary
of the National Retail Liquor Dealers
Association, is in Cleveland arranging
with the Ohio Executive Board for the
national convention of the association
to be held in this city next fall
Speaking of the political attitude of
the association, Mr.. Hale said: THE sa-
loCnists in every part of the United
States favor the nomination of William
Mckinley for the Presidency. This
means the support of the liquor deal
ers in the district, State and national
conventions, and at the lowest calcula-
ton ], 100000 votes at the polls if Nc
Kinley is nominated l base this esti-
mate on the fact that the association
has 100000 members, and each member
is good for ten votes, at least
Mr.. Hale, continuing, stated that the
love of the liquor men for Mckinley
was owing to the+fact that he had never
placed himself in opposition to the liquor
traffic, and had never favored measures
opposed to the interest of saloon keep
ers, as had Reed, Morton and Allison.
Mckinley" continued Mr.. Hale, zap
preciates the fact that the liquor traffic
is a great industry, and acts accord

of smoke this morning in a house at

phine Manning, a dressmaker.
The door was fastened, and as there
was no response to knocks entrance was
forced. The room was full of smoke,
which came from smoldering fire in
the bed.

with her head covered with blood from
bullet wounds. Across the foot of the
bed the body of a man was stretched
He was not quite dead but died before
a doctor could be summoned He, too,
had been shot.
The affair was evidently murder
and suicide. The man was recognized
as James E. Flynn, who has for some
time been keeping company with Miss
Manning. He was a widower 50 years
cid, and she was So He had evidently
killed the woman and then committed
suicide

family living upstairs reported that
they head three reports about an hour

shots and paid no attention to them

PITTSBURG, April 9.-For a time
last night there was much excitement

well founded, has it that the friends of
James Quinn and Mike Connolly, the
hackers of Peter Maher, had put up
a job to kidnap Fitzsimmons after he
was leaving the Academy of Music, on
Liberty street, after the entert ainment
Friends of FitZsimmons, hearing of the

Fitzsimmons was taken out at pri-

He is at loss to understand why Ma
hers friends should wish to do him per-
sonal injury.
Fitzsimmons said to-day that he was
now and had always been friend of
Maher, and was willing to bet $4,000
that Maher could whip Corbett or any
other pugilist in the world except HIM
self
Fitzsimmons said: "After two months
rest will be willing to fight and heavy

Corbett must first vanquish Maher be-

Fitzsimmons also said that he is
ready to fight any two middleweights

STATEHOOD BILLS.
Action of the House Committee oI
New Mexico and Arizona.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-When the
bill admitting New Mexico to Statehood
was taken up in the House committee
to-day, Owens of Kentucky offered an
amendment postponing the election of
the State Legislature until 1898, the
purpose being to delay the election of
United States Senators to a subsequent
period, but this was rejected, as was
also an amendment offered by Taft of
Ohio to report the bill to the House with
out recommendation.
Hadley prevented a favorable report
on the Arizona bill He stated that his
action in voting to admit Territories
would be based upon the ratio of popu-
lation, and as Arizona did not have, in
his opinion, the number of inhabitants
requisite for Statehood, he would be
compelled to vote against ii.
Under these circumstances, Murphy.
the delegate from Arizona, deemed 1t
advisable not to press the matter fur
ther at to-day's meeting, and. upon mo-
tion OF Catron, the delegate from New
