OF shoes. Nobody is going to return
for the sole reason of getting a pair.
Think, with the cash in hand, from
the profits Of the Business Agency and
contributions, amounting to, I think,
over 5000, we can test the shoe
scheme, and if it pays, push it; if not
a good investment, drop it as o o as
possible.
If the So. 900 is preserved although
the shoe factory may fail, we have a
suhciency to keep our B 1siness Agency
in operation. II we put everything in
the shoe factory its failure would GER
tainly destroy US.
These are business matters to be dis.
cussed in a business way, without sen.
timent or passion, and with the endeav.
or to benefit our organization, yielding
to each one the right to make up their

LET. THEM BUILD HIGHWAYS.

New York is puzzled to know what
to do with her convicts which are a
large and increasing expense, and
and whose imprisoned idleness neither
improves them nor benefits the State.
On account of the competition OF con-
vict labor with free labor the prison
authorities are forbidden to set the
prisoners at work in any usual trade
or occupation, and thus.the keeping OF
the convicts is a dead expense that
runs up into the hundred thousands.
The Washington Post says:
ut strikes us that New York and
several other States r troubled with
the convict labor problem might find it
to their advantage to study the North
Carolina plan. Humanity and economy
imperatively demand that some regu
lar employment be provided for those
persons who have forfeited their free
dom. Endless idleness for convicts is
horrible torture. And since public
sentiments opposed to employing them
on work that completes with free labor,
the building of highways seems to pre-
sent a solution of the great problem.
This is work that, if not performed by
copvicts, will be relegated toe very re-
mote future"
North Carolina, in the Mecklenburg
system, seems to have come nearer
solving the convict problem than any
other State. And it seems to bring
obout at the same time the solution of
the convict question and theroad ques
ton. New York will do we'll to adopt
the \Mecklenburg plan.-Charlotte

THE FIFrY-CENr DOLLAR HUM.
BUG.
The Free Coinage Journal says:

-S OSoS
Never, in the history of any cam
paign controversy, did there ever ap-
pear a more fimsy argument than that
which pertained to what was called
the ftty-cent dollar.
Even up to the present writing some
of the papers in the gold combine use
the phrase with an efrontery that
would tinge the cheek of Death! The
boldness and confidence of their utter
ances r the only excuse for the use Of
the phrase.
There is not one semblance of truth
in the idea. Those who use the words
must laugh at the utter stupidity of
the man who would swallow the po.
ton. 1t is merely a play on the sup
posed ignorance of those who are
duped.
These very men clamor for an inter
national agreement which would open
up the mines and minis of America.
Where would then be their fifty cent
dollarsG Would not the law raise the
price Of silver to its proper place in
values9 If 80, would not American
silver rise If American minis were open
to its coinageG Did not the closing of
the minis lower the price of silverR
Then would not the opening of the
minis restore it7 As there were no fifty
cent dollars before the minis were
closed, so there can be no ffty-cent
dollars when they are open again.
But upon what ground do these men
argue that a newly minted American
dollar is worth only fifty cents9 The
answer is, that the material out of
which the dollars are made is, as bull.
lion, worth Only fifty cents. Therefore
the dollar must fall to the level of the
bullion price Of silver. Let US apply
this reasoning to another phase of the
subject. How much is the material of
a paper dollar worth9 Not over M
cent. Must we conclude, therefore,
that it ia a one-cent dollar9 Hare we
are met with the remark that the gov
0Euu40uG 4S DSCA VI Gu6 phpoE OOIlhE,
which insures it's value. Is not the
same government and the same Con
gress back of the silver dollar9 Does
not the Constitution say that Congress
shall have power to coin money and to
regulate the values thereotR DID not
Congress by virtue of this power make
37i4 grains OF silver into a dollarG They
placed all the sacred emblems of the
nation upon it and proclaimed to the
world: This is one dollar" If the pres
ent Congress should pass the old law,
restoring the silver dollar of 3714 grains
to its former position, what right
then would any loyal citizen have to
say it is only a fifty-c cent dollarQ The
idea is not only ridiculous, but it repu
dates the authority of the government
and gives Congress the lie.
Such statements as fifty cent dollars
are mere claptrap, and deserves no
other attention than the contempt and
pity of intelligent men.

Sufficient Importance has not as yet

it will yet come to be. This no doubt

money they take it, Notwithstanding
these national bank notes are known to
be not a legal tender in payment Of
debts between individuals. Pray tell
me how the business affairs Of a broken
national bank are wound up9 Suppose
I hold $5, 900 in bills On the Merchants
National Bank of Ocala, Florida, which
is broken and see proper to hoard them.
Will the government call for these
bills at the time the bank charter ex
pires or will they be called in from
time to timer Will the government
pay them, the bank breaks, in gold
c Din or in what wilTthey be paid7 For
how long is a national bank charter
grantedG I suppose if the bonds on
which these broken national bank bills
were issued are ever 'to be paid in
gold" then the holder would get gold;
if silver, he would get silver; if to be
redeemed in a new issue Of bonds, then
he would get bonds. Am I c0rrect7
IL aver there was a batch Of utterly
devilish legislation it is found In the
law creating national banks. 1t was
done to create a monopoly in money.
To please goldbugs, bond holders and
bankers, and against the majority of
laborers, farmers and mechanics in or
der to let the national banks and gold
bugs control the volumes Of currency
for over seventy millions OF people.
The green back national currency is
sued a lone by the general government
receivable in payment Of all debts pub
lie and private bond on the whole ma
ton is better than gold or silver and
supplies a national currency and will
be good so long as the government
stands. What prevents this, the power
of the gold bug. Millions and billions
of interest in taxes on US would have
been saved to the people and no bonds
issued to be given to corporations and
banks and wealthy persons, advance
interest paid in gold, exempt from tax
alton, and allowed interest on the same
capital In two ways, never, never
ought to have been allowed. A reve-
lation is brewing, there is a croak in
the mountain and a rumbling noise is
heard, the peaks of o ter are lettering
and great will be the fall unless the
peaceful mode of the ballot box saves
us. No sensible man can assign a plau-
dible reason for the government burn
ing the money that saved the nation
during the late civil war between the
States, Congress ought to enact laws
that money once current always cur
rent, once bogus always bogus, and the
custom of redeeming one kind of money
with another kind of money ought to
be forever abolished.

NATIONAL ALLIANCE DEMANDS
Adopted at Washington, D. c., Februar
8, 1896.

Adopted al Washington, D. c., February
8, 1896.
WHEREAS, The Declaration of hide
pendence, as a basis for q Republican
form of Government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states:
"That all men arc created equal;
that they are endowed with certain IL
alienable rights; that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness; that to secure these rights, gov
ernments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
governed"
We hold, therefore, that to restore
and preserve these rights under a
Republican form of government, pri-
vate monopolies of public necessities
for speculative purposes, whether OF
the means Of production, distribution
or exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any euch public necessity or
utility becomes a monopoly in private
hands, the people of the municipality,
state or union, as the case may be,
shall appropriate the same by right of
eminent domain, paying a just value
therefor, and operate them for, and In
the interest Of, the whole people.
FINANCE
We demand a national currency,
safe, sound and flexible; issued by the
general government only; a full legal
tender for all debts and receivable for
all dues, and an equitable and efficient
means of distribution of this currency,
directly to the people, at the minimum
of expense and without the interven-
ton of banking corporations and in
sufficient volume to transact the bust
ness Of the country on a cash basis.
(a) We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at the
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
() We demand q graduated income
tax.
Co That our national legislation shall
be so framed in the future as not to
build up one industry at the expense
of another.
(G We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people,
and hence we demand that all National
and State revenues shall be limited to
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment economically and honestly ad-
ministered.
() We demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe deposit of savings
of the people, and to facilitate ex-
change.
f) We are ~unalterably opposed to
the issue, by the United States, Of in
terest bearing bonds. and demand the
payment of all coin obligations of the
United States, as provided by existing
laws, in either gold or silver coin, at
the option of the government and not
at the option of the creditor.
+ TRANSPORTATION.
(G) The government shall purchase
or construct and operate a sufficient
mileage Of railroads to efectually con-
troll all rates of transportatica on a
just and equitable basis.
() The telegraph and telephone,
like the postofice system, being a ne
cessity for the transmission of intelIi-
gence. should be owned and operated
by the government In the interest of
the people.

purposes or by railroads in excess Of
