England Rules.

ENGLAND, as a factor in the control
OF money, is ruling a 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 60 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
or one nation after another has adopt
ed gold as the money of final payment
nations are 80 written. The adoption
by Russia of a gold standard a 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, 1t 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 a gold standard Of
fers opportunities like this all over the
world Is an incentive for rich men to
foist such laws upon nations and to
gather in the property Of those nations
Just as this syndicate gathered in lit
tie lump by our recent bond issue. The
gold standard goes upon the theory that
all nations of the world could not make
their own money anything but gold. 1t
will not take many years before this
system must eliminate 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, tt at not only the American nation
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 mil
lions Of poverty-stricken, desperate

men, and as certain as wealth concen-
trates through monopolies and con-
tracts so certain will this vast army
increase until the time will come, not
ten years hence, when either this en-
tire theory of government must be
changed or its entire fabric will 30
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 CAPT.
talist 1t was impossible to get them
to understand that there was 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 II a gold standard will have
this effect, as 1t surely will, then 1t 10
not without its good uses.

Mankind Ruled 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 a 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 90 back to prime
val barter, without dollar Of money
Of any kind, than see Gods children
wiped of the face Of Gods planet. An
cient Mexico maintained a high civil
ization without a particle Of money.
II 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 reptile whose head pro-
jects, lifted and gasping, out Of the
carboric acid gas; but It's neither limbs
are yet imbedded in the thick mud Of
the Silurian period.-Hon. Ignatius
Donnelly, In THE Golden Bottle"

Tho Difference.

According to the New York World
]. D. Rockefeller has an annual in
come of $S,6O0,0O0. That is just $685.
562 day. or not quite 81, 900 an hour
On the basis of eight hours a 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 $22 a
month.
Rockefeller gets $40 a minute, and
the laborer gets $22 month. Rookie
Teller has a good time; the laborer has
a hell Of time. Rockefeller lives like
a prince in palace; the laborer lives
in a howell, 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 Gre
ate $4,000 times as much or does he
work $4,000 times as hard as $1,000 la
borers?-Representative.

From summary Of the mineral pro-
duction of Canada for 1896, just issued
from the Geological Department at
Ottawa, it is seen that the total value
of the mineral product has nearly
doubled. Increases are shown in the
production Of coal, copper, gold, lead
and silver, while the output of iron
ore, natural gas ana nickel has fallen
off to a considerable extent. The in
crease in coal is altogether due to Nova
Scotia, which produced 296,153 net tons
more than in 1895, but this increased
output is offset in large measure by
o decrease of 1O4,629 tons in the pro-
duction of British Columbia. Copper
shows large decrease in Ontario and
a small increase in Quebec, while Brit
ish Columbia's contribution is 1913, 556
pounds, which amount Is 1,S4S,193
pounds more than In 1895. In gold,
large inceases are to be credited to
Nova Scotia and Ontario, but British
Columbia heads the list with an in
crease over the previous year of $497,-
SIS. Owing to the dull state Of the
iron market during the year, the pro-
duction of iron ore has fallen off to
considerable extent in all the provinces,
with the exception OF Ontario.

that are there are not running over
one or two machinists, while the
Huntsville prison is running night
and day. 1t has been said that the
competition of free labor is so small
that it is not worth bothering about,
but the fact of the matter is that the
total value of goods produced in he
United States for the various states
and territories in all the state prisons
and penitentiaries for 1895 was 49,
042, 473.23. This report shows just to
what extent the convict has entered
into competition with free labor, and
as every job counts just one, and
means everything to the man who
needs that job, the figures are worth
studying"

Every hearty laugh in which a man
or woman INDUCES tends to prolong
life, as 1t makes the blood move more
rapidly and gives a new and different
stimulus to all the organs Of the body
from what is in force Of other times.
Therefore, perhaps the saying, Laugh
and grow fat" is not an exaggerated
one, but has foundation in fact. No
truer words were ever uttered than
those which state so clearly. Laugh,
and the world laughs with you; weep,
and you weep alone" The jolly,
wholesome, happy-hearted people are
those who have most friends and see
the best that life holds out to them.

1t is gratifying to know that Secre-
tary of Agriculture Morton, who is a
goldbug lawyer, will soon be displaced
by real farmer, Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa,
Wilson may not be any better as a

time to time advocated anything and
everything detrimental to the Ameri-
can farmer. though holding the highest

From the Philadelphia American: It
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.

sonable and just that patriots can

In the State of New York two justices
of the Supreme Court have had occa-
sion to rebuke grand juries for refusal
to do their duty. In one instance the
jury would not indict violator Of the
state excise law because Of local
prejudice against that law. In the 9th
er case defaulting county Official was
let go because OF his high social con-
nections. In its perfection our jury
system is the best safeguard Of justice.

Why does Mckinley say in his in
augural that he will sustain the gold
standard by taxes or loans, unless
England will give him bimetallism?
Becaues he believes that England Is
willing to collect all debts due Ter In
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 bimetallism,
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 stagnation and
want? For the same reasons that
Nero enjoyed the contrast between his
Baochanalian extravaganza and the
suffering of Roman Christians while
Rome was in flames.
Why do the McKinleyites contend
chat 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 Wolcott to go to Europe to negoti-
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 organic
ing cabinet to maintain the gold
standard confidence in his fidelity to
the money trust.
Why was Sherman selected for the
State Department, and Gage for Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, II Mckinley in
tended to aid in the restoration of sill
yer by an international conference or
by any other means? Because II would
have been treason to his gold hackers
to even pretend to be for silver, under
any circumstances, without first mort
gaging his administration to gold mo-
nopoly for indebtedness incurred for
The millions required to secure his cleo
ton, as we'll as for all future advances.
What Is the difference between Gage
and Sherman? Gage is in favor Of rob-
bling the people by contracting the
money volume to the single gold stand
ard, and acknowledges it, while Sher-
man is in favor Of the same and denies
1t. In other words, Gage is barking
dog, while Sherman prefers the tactics
of the gopher.
