Constitutional changes, whether Sc
cured by express enactment or read into
the constitution by servile judges, will
lessen the opportunity for agitation, and
the gradual increase and maintenance Of
large standing army will prevent all
thought of resistance. II the money
power, as has been charged, is already
largely in control of the government,
state and national, then the steps just
described will be natural and necessary
to protect and preserve that profitable
power in their hands, leaving the empty
forms of a republic to stand in silent but
impotent protest.
On the other hand, if the control of
legislation is so important to the money
power, it will be an irreparable calamity
to the toiling masses to lose it. The
founders of the republic fondly believed
they had secured not only for them
selves, but for their posterity for all
time. If the advocates of popular gov
ernment win, they in turn, still less
than the money power, cannot rest easy
in the victory with the organic law re-
naming as it is. Experience has shown
its weakness and it's insufficiency.

pay 4 or per cent, and as further
concession to labor, each banker would
receive bank notes to the amount Of his
investment, the same to be loaned to his
fellow toilers at as large an amount of
interest as he could secure. Thus it
will be seen that the bankers will draw
two interests on every dollar In circu-
latfon-one from the government, tho
other from the bank notes which could
be had only from bankers. Organized
labor has won great victory. Secre-
