UNCLE IKE ON "NATIONAL
HONOR

George Nc A. Miller, in Free Coinage Journal.
My opinion of your sermon2 Really, parson,
don't know,
Pm no great shakes at tellin how the lands
affairs should go;
But about the nations honor staggerin' toward
the farthest ditch,
Brought about by the oppression of the poor
against the rich:
Well, / swan in all my readin' have never
found the like
And If that was truthful preachin' it's joke
on Uncle Ike;
/ amt upon economies, but I've read my Bible
some,
Andifit contains such teachin' then Pm blind
and deaf and dumb.
If to keep a nations honor means to garner all
its gain
'Mongst the few and leave the many naught
but hunger, toll and pain,
Then the Hebrew nations honor highest point
of merit won,
With its palaces and novels in the reign Of
Solomon.
But the kingdom was divided when new
king came to power
And the cause was the oppression of the rich
against the poor,
What became of Israel's glory2 Chapter eight
of Amos read,
Where the sacred writer tells us Of the tyranny
of greed.
"Ye that swallow up the needy, desolation is
your fate,
For the ephah you diminish while you make
the shekel great"
can't tell just how it happened, but the
things they had to sell,
All their gain and stock and labor shrunk an
fell, an fell, an fell.
While their debts and obligations, taxes, usury
and such,
By the increase of the shekel doubled up to
twice as much,
Till the people lost their freedom and all else
they had to lose,
And the needy could be purchased for a single
pair of shoes.
Maybe Pm in error, Parson, and the silverite:
dIt
| And the honor of the nation all depends upor
the banks
Maxim gold the only money SOS to make thu
dollar great
But I'm feared that just such preachin's bring
in us to Israels fate.
Read in chapter five of Amos: From tn
poor ye take their wheat,
Building palaces; but wailings shall be heart
in every street."
What about fair Judah's honor and her grea
JerusalemH
Did some silveritish error take their glor!
way from themP
Hear word from old Ezekiel found in chapte
twenty-five,
Quotin' from the Lord Almighty, tellin' wha
he meant to do:
"Ye have practiced great extortion and you
sin you cannot hide,
And your nation shall be scattered 'mong tn
heather far and wide."
My opinion of your sermon9 1 don't matte
what / say;
make no pretence to learnin'; but I feel in
| clined to pray
That the blessed Heavenly Father, speakin
through his holy Word
May from Mammon worhip call you to the ser
vice of the Lord.

1T WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

And now we know from his own lips when
Mark Hanna recognized organized labor, 1t
was 90 years ago so the Leader reports him.
That was before he crushed the seamen's
union, before he Joined in presenting Rumsey
watch for helping in the crush, before he pro.
hibited labor organizations among his street
car employees, bofore he excluded organized
labor from the establishments in which he is
interested, before he earned the title of Tabor

President Cleveland said in 1893 that
crops and business were good, but soon
came on financial crisis. The financial
legislation at the time was fresh attack
on silver by the repeal of the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman law, the repeal OF
which Mr.. Sherman himself said would
bring prosperity and stop the panic in
ten days thereafter. But it did not.
Mr.. Sherman, remember, is great

When silver was demonetized in 1873
it was worth $l.31 an ounce, about 3
per cent above gold. Let Republican
blatherskites remember this fact. In re-
ferring to the depreciation of silver why
not give the true cause? The war upon
silver caused its decline and also affected
values generally, directly and indirectly.

Calico" Charley is bankrupt. Owes his
creditors nearly half a million dollars more
than he ever expects to pay. All of this
calamity came to him through the financial
legislation the Republican party, that made
the bankers dollars nearly three times as
valuable as the merchants, manufacturers
and farmers And the shame of it all is that
Charley was an important factor in the legisla-
tion. So important in fact that his reputation
for conducting dishonest elections came to be
so rank that even the Republican party rele-
gated him to back seat near the door of exit
SO as to be in easy reach of the kicks that we're
coming to land him on the shores of oblivion.
The Ohio Bankers Association is in session
at Toledo. They wear good clothes, eat fine

one ofthem knows anything of the science Of
money, but every one of them is practical
expert in discount. They favor scarce and
dear money and make semi annual reports
showing that for every 800 they have on de-
posit, they have loaned out 5000 and have only
$50 in cash. They favor credit money and in

walks of life. They believe that without them
the country would go to the demnition bow

who know good thing when they see it and
hesitate not to grasp the opportunities given
them under single gold standard, the Ohio
bankers are simply par excellence.

Constantinople, July 29.-The demand
OF the German ambassador. Baron
Saurn1a de Jeltsch, that a provision be
inserted in the peace treaty between
Greece and Turkey for a European
control of Greek finances meets with
disfavor among the other ambassadors
They consider that it is not covered by
their instructions, but should be made
the subject of direct negotiations be-

Even the Turks oppose this project, as
they regard it as an attempt to take
advantage of the peace negotiations in
the interests of the German bond hold
ers.
While it is thought improbable that
Greece could raise the indemnity loan
without such guarantees as would be
provided by European control of her
finances, the proposed stipulation is
not regarded as in order in treaty
to which only Greece and Turkey are
parties.
AT meeting of the ambassadors. to-
day, an indemnity clause in a form

That Is Charged Against the Late Miss Alice
N. Barrett at Boston.

Boston, July 29.-Fire Marshal Whit
comb today resumed his investigation
of the fire at the Office of Goldman &
Goldman. last Saturday afternoon.
the body of Miss Alice NJ. Barrett of
Waltham was found with a bullet
through her heart. The testimony took
another sensational turn when Mr. p.
Collins, a Water street business man,
stated that before Miss Barrett's death
she tried to borrow $1,000 at per cent.
He declined to make the Iona.
Medical Examiner George Stedman
today also made confidential state
ment to the fire marshal in connection
with story of the developments of
the case.
The Traveller. today. published an af-
fidavit by Mr.. Collins, in which he
says:
I firmly believe that Miss Barrett
committed suicide because she was be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 short I'm her ac-
counts with the firm of Goldman & Cod
man. / base my belief on the fact that
she Miss BarretD, on the day she
bought the revolver at Lovells, Fri
day. asked me to loan her $780, say
ing that she needed the money that
day. l did not have that amount of
money with me, and as the banks were
closed could not raise it,
In the affidavit published by the
Traveller, Mr.. Collins says "She told
me that Mr.. Foss was the person to
whom she loaned the $500 about which
so much has been said. He invested
the money in his business, she told
me-
Mr.. Foss is the man to whom Miss
Barrett was engaged. The engage
ment was broken about three weeks
ago.
Later. in the hearing, it developed
that Collins and Miss Barrett were
very good friends. 1t was also dis
closed that the woman for six or seven
weeks had been specializing in stocks.
that she invested her money at the ad-
vice OF Mr. Collins, and that she had
been on the short end of Sugar for some
five weeks. which had entailed loss
estimated by Mr.. Collins at fully $1,000
Friday afternoon. Miss Barrett sent
Collins note asking him to meet her.
She had previously asked for the loan
of $1,000 and had been refused. Collins
met her as requested and they went to
dinner together. At that time she Dor
rowed $40 of Collins after asking MIN
for $50.
Collins also stated that he had fire.
