The Difference.

According to the New York World.
j. D. Rockefeller has an annual in
come of $S,6O0,00O. That is just $685.
562 day. or not quite $1,000 an hour.
On the basis of eight hours day, he
makes just $40 a minute.
According to the United States CEN
sus report the average wages OF the
workingman of the country is s22
month.
Rockefeller gets $40 a minute, and
the laoorer gets s22 a month. Rookie
feller has good time; the laborer has
a hell of time. Rockefeller lives like
a prince in a palace; the laborer lives
in hovel, which is not even his own.
Fate (?) assigns to one man less than
a dollar a day, while working, while
another has an income Of fifty dollars a
minute without working. Is that JUS
tice?
Rockefeller gets as much in one day
as $4,000 workingmen. Is he worth as
much? Do his services to mankind en-
title him to such reward? Does he cre-
ate 25,000 times as much or does he
work $4,000 times as hard as $4,000 la

Iil-Adyised Tactics.

The middle-of- -the-roaders claim 10
he the only pure, unselfish and unde-
filed element in politics, yet 1t was the
self-styled middle-of-the-road element
that elected Goldbug Republican
Pritchard to the United States Senate
from North Carolina last week When
by using their balance of power they
could just as we'll have elected Popu-
list. This thing of few dlsreputable
politicians stealing the once respected
and honorable title, "middle-of-the-
road" and under its cover serving plu-
tocracy is what is making the very
thought of the term odious to those
who believe in principle and honor
Iowa Farmers Tribune.
All Populists who believe that fusion
tends to breed confusion and will, ii

the Peoples Party, thereby deferring, il
not destroying all possibility OF re-

Time to Get Back.

1t is time for return to the meth
ods and point of view of the first presl-
dent. Whatever his personal conVlc-
tions in politics, Washington was an
advocate of civil service principles,
both in theory and in practice. He
knew that whatever claims party
might have upon candidate, there
was one claim infinitely stronger-that
of the people upon the officers whom
they elect and pay to perform the pub
lie work. His first cabinet was COM
posed of men. selected solely because
Of the ability of the appointees. 1t
contained ardent Republicans and ex-
treme conservatives. The practice OF
such men as compose the great modern
political machines would have been
hateful to him. We have become too
much accustomed in late years to ac-
cept destructive partisanship with COM
placency, and to look upon the in
terests of the governed as of trivial i'm
pcrtapce. Washington was no par
tisan-he was merely patriot.
The Louisiana populist., 1897-05-14
Mankind Rnled by Money.

Are not the people Of more import
ance than continent or constitution?
God made the planet for the people,
not the people for the money-lenders.
To stand still and see the people re-
duced to serfdom would be crime
against God and man. Better that all
the gold and silver in the world should
perish than that the nation should die;
better that We should go back to prime
val barter, without dollar of money
of any kind, than see Gods children
wiped off the face of Gods planet. An
cient Mexico maintained high civil
ization without a particle of money.
If driven to the dreadful alternative
of losing liberty and prosperity or me-
tallic money, no sane man can doubt
which the nation should choose. 1t IS
the curse of the world that mankind has
been ruled for centuries by money, in
the interest of money; not by the peo-
pie in the interest of the people. We
live only halfway in the present. The
age is like a reptile whose head pro-
jects, lifted and gasping, out OF the
carboric acid gas; but its neither limbs
are yet imbedded in the thick mud OF
the Silurian period--Hon. Ignatius
Donnelly. in 'The Golden Bottle"
The Louisiana populist., 1897-05-14
England Rules.

England, as a factor in the control
OF money, is ruling greater territory
than Rome did in all her glory. Through
the stealthy, secret influence of gold,
she is framing the monetary laws OF
all nations of the earth, civilized and
semi-civiliZed. No king can go to war
without the permission of the men who
control the gold OF the world, and the
gold of the world is controlled by the
Rothschilds to such an extent that the
smaller holders must work in harmony
with them. At the dictates of this pow
er one nation after another has adopt
ed gold as the money of final payment
and all the commercial transactions Of
nations are 80 written. The adoption
by Russia of gold standard few
weeks ago will greatly enhance the
price of gold, which will be noticed in
the falling Of prices Of other commodi-
ties, Should China and Japan adopt
the gold standard, it would reduce the
average days pay to perhaps 10 or II
cents all over the world. OF course, all
other things would go down with it
excepting debts, taxes and stated in
comes, and under such conditions men
in debt would never redeem their obli-
cations and would necessarily lose title
to all their property, which would go
into the hands Of those who held the
debts. We have just seen in this coun-
try a syndicate make eight millions OF
dollars on the issue Of bonds simply
because of the idea that nothing but
gold can be used for the final payment
of a debt. That gold standard Of
fers opportunities like this all over the
world is an incentive for rich men to
foist such laws upon nations and tt
gather In the property of those nation:
just as this syndicate gathered in lit.
tie lump by our recent bond issue. The
gold standard goes upon the theory tha'
The Louisiana populist., 1897-05-14

all nations Of the world could not make
their own money anything but gold. IL
will not take many years before this
system must culminate in an exceed
ingly few people owning title to or
mortgages on all the property OF the
world, and then we may expect to see
what McCaulay predicted fifty years
ago. Il at not only the American natlon
but all other nations will have their
Huns and Vandals, not from without,
but from within. Already there are
being created in the United States mill
lions of pover.y-stricken, desperate
men, and as certain rs wealth concen-
trates through monopolies and con-
tracts so certain will this vast army
increase until the time will come, mol
ten years hence, when either this en-
tire theory of government must Dc
changed or its entire fabric Will go
down in chaos. Wealth is not gathered
from the air nor the clouds, by by mems
labor. and the time will come when
even the dullest minds will be brought
to realize that they can no longer live
under a competitive system of society,"
The gold standard is forcing the people
to realize condition that the teach"
ings of all philosophers have been un-
able to impress upon the mass OF man
kind. So long as each little unit OF
society could hope to become a capi-
talist it was impossible to get them
to understand that there was a danger
line in the struggle. 1t is only when
they have been forced to realize that
all the avenues OF advancement have
been closed against them that they
will see the injustice and enormity OF
the system that they have helped main
tain, and if gold standard will have
this effect, as it surely will, then 1t is
not withou. its good uses.

Wharton Barker ON the Situation.

From the Philadelphia American: 1t
is curtailment Of imports and Of gener-
al consumption that is largely respon-
sible for the deficit in the revenues,
and it is the impoverishment of our
people that has led to this curtailment.
Nor can this impoverishment be charg-
ed to the Wilson tariff and flooding
of our markets, for it is seen there has
been no increase, but an actual dimi-
mutton of imports. The impoverish-
ment is due to the fall in prices conse-
quent in our adherence to the gold
standard; this and nothing else.

Why doesn't England get mad be-
cause the United States continues TO
ask her to restore silver? Because 1t
costs ~ nothing to refuse the request
and it flatters her vanity to receive tne
United States as a suppliant.
Why does Mckinley say in his In
augGral that he will sustain the goia
standard by taxes or loans, unless
England will give him bimetaiiism!
Becaues he believes that England Is
willing to collect all debts due her III
gold, and will continue the gold stand
ard as long as her debtors will borrow
or be taxed for that purpose; and that
therefore he can trust England to re-
fuse his request, and can fool the peo-
pie by pretending to favor bimetallsm'
without endangering the schemes OF
his hackers.
Why did the goldites lavish public
and private money for inaugural dis
play, while the masses of the people
are suffering from stagnatlon anu
want? For the same reasons thal
Nero enjoyed the contrast between MS
Do onl. ion nxyfRo nyQn ann
suffering of Roman Christians While
Rome was in flames.
Why do the McKinleyite5 contend
that more revenue for the government
extorted by taxation, will increase the
supply of money among the tax-pay-
ers and produce prosperity? For the
same reason the physicians of the Old
school bled their patients to death to
increase their vitality.
Why did Mckinley encourage Sena-
tor WoIcott to go to Europe to negotl-
ate for free coinage? Because VOL
colt, by his spectacular display on the
other side of the Atlantic, could at
tract the attention of the people
while Mckinley himself was organiz'
ing a cabinet to maintain the gold
standard confidence in his fidelity te
the money trust.
Why was Sherman selected for the
State Department. and Gage for Secre'
tary of the Treasury, If Mckinley in
tended to aid in the restoration OF sill
yer by an international conference OF
by any other means? Because 1t woult
have been treason to his gold hackers
to even pretend to be for silver, undel
any circumstances, without first mort
gaging his administration to gold mo-
nopoly for Indebtedness incurred fol

ton, as we'll as for all future advances
What is the difference between Gags
and Sherman? Gage is in favor of rob
bing the people by contracting thu
money volume to the single gold stand
