The great battle against trusts must
be directed against the money trust
which is usurping the sovereignty Of
government, and has been allowed to
use the sovereign power ofgovernment
to create money and regulate its volume
TO diminish or destroy that volume, and
thereby crush enterprise, drive laborers
into trades unions for protection and
business men into trusts to avoid bank
ruptcy. Our motto is more money to
stop falling prices, revive enterprise,
create individual opportunity, give en-
ployment to the masses, and then rnjuri-
GUS trusts will generally disappear
They cannot survive good times The
trusts or combinations created by law
can then be abolished, and the volun-
tary associations, when opportunities
exist for all, will, as general rule, be
beneficial and not prejudieial to so
ciety.-Silver Knight

JOHN CLARK RIDPATH SHOWS UP
WALL STREETS METHODS.
Sp she July Arena John Clark Riepath'
tho HIstor,Dn, Gives Reply to Henry
CIews on the Financial Methods Of
wan street. Following Is one Ex-
cerpt From the Article.

81 notice with surprise that Mr.
Ciews in his sketch of Wall street
dwells not ut all upon the benevolent
agency Of that power during the civil
war This is an oversight which I beg
leave to supply, There perhaps never
has been an instance in human history
in which great power has SO ardently
devoted itself to the preservation OF
free institutions as did Wall street in
that epoch of mortal agony. Then II
was that Wall street engaged in the
patriotic work, first of destroying the
national credit, then of buying IL up at
half price; then of converting it into
bonded debt to be perpetuated for a
full generation, and finally of compell'
ing the people to pay it in dollar
worth four times as much as the dollar
with which it was purchased. 1t was
a beautiful scheme Of devotion and
self-sacrifice the like of which history
hSs never before recorded. 1t was a
SPECULATION which involved the life OF
the American republic.
"The Union was on trial. All nerves
were strained and all hearts were torn.
The nation was bleeding at every pore.
Every freight train that came from the
front brought back its loaded boxes OF
dead. Fathers and mothers gathered
at the station and each received his
own. The rough coffin containing the
body of the patriot boy who had given
his life for the flag was taken by q
silent father and mother to its resting
place under the apple trees. All true
men had fearful faces and stern re
solve in the heart.
Sand while this was the condition o.
the nation and the people, the high
toned Wall street was specializing on
the life of the republic. 1t boughtant
sold blood. 1t was bull on disaster
and a bear on victory. 1t established
bureaus through which to falslty lntel
ligence and to bring the nation to thu
verge of ruin. 1t had no compunction
1t regarded the gore of battlefelds a
the rich rain and mould out of whicl
its own harvest was to grow. TIL
more blood the merrier, The NOR
tears the richer the yield The NOR
war the more debt. The more depres

The more horror and devastation tn

Judge JacksOn's Exploit.

Judge Jackson's injunction against
Debs land others" touches the high
water mark of judicial usurpation in
America. 1t staggers even the old
guard of capitalism. The Evening Post
thinks that such things make plaus-
ible the complaint of the miners that
the courts are partial" and that the
prevalence of such conviction among
the common people" must be most UNI
fortunate The Tribune reminds the
operators and their judges that moth
ing is so likely to provoke disorder as
to make law hateful"
Let us see just what it is that Judge
Jackson has done, and how he has done
it. He has enjoined Eugene Debs and
others-that is to say, everybody
from speaking on the subject of strikes
in about the Monongah mines.
"They are not permitted to intercept
miners on their way to and from work;
hey cannot speak on any public high
ways leading to the mines of the petit
TONERS; lastly. they are ordered to hold
no public or private meetings whatso-
ever in the neighborhoOd Of the mines
in question "
Remember therehas been no pretence
that this imitation of martial law has
been made necessary by riot or disorder
of any kind. The mildest, the most
peaceful persuasion is banned by Ju dye
JaclSson's order as much as rifle or
bomb. The Prussian diet, its member.
ship so apportioued as always to be
controlled by the aristocracy, has just
rejected the demand of its war lord for
law authorizing interfer ence with
public meetings; but here in the Amer!-
can republic American citizens are for

OF the pitiable condition among the
mining districts, both east and west, it
would be difficult to find language that
would exuggerate Governor Mount
sometime ago appointed Judge Thomas
j. Terhune, of Lebnon, Ind, to go as
his personal representative into the
mines of that state and report upon
conditions as he found them. Last
Sunday night before large congrega-
ton, Judge Terhune told the story Of
his Investigations. Had he told Of the
mines of Siberia or the famine cursed
districts of India his story could not
have been more terrible. We quote
from Judge Terhunes account of his
experiences: "a few years ago the
miners received S1.95 per ton. Now
the wages paid for ordinary pick min
ing after deducting the cost Of blach.
ST, Thing powder and other expenses,
a rerage about 80 cents per ton. At
Coal Blnff we entered house and
found the husband on his knees on one
side of a cradle and his wife on the
other, while in the cradle lay a dying
child. There was not bite to eat in
the house. The man operating the
mines at that place is millionaire of
Terre Haute. The child died an hour
later-starved."

o One of the reasons advanced for Ha-
wailan annexation is that thirty million
dollars of American capital is invested
in the islands and it is to look after
such interests we should be in control
of the islands. If this is good ground
for annexation Great Britain will per-
haps, use it as a precedent for the an

Gold AdvoC ties on the ise OF Wheat and
Fall of silver.

About the close of the year 1878
prices, which for more than 20 years
had been rising, suddenly began to
4, i, and have continued to do so with
only temporary checks and rebounds
until the present day
The bimetallists have claimed that
the general demonstration of silver
was the chief cause of the fall and that
the fall itself has been the main cause
of the business depression, which for
so long has carried suffering into the
great commercial nations of Europe
and America. The gold men have per-
sistently denied both claims. They
have steadily denied that silver demon
tization has led to the decline of prices
and just as steadily denied that our
business troubles have been caused by
the decline. On the contrary they
have argued strenuously that low
prices are an advantage, especially to
poor men, because they can buy so
much with dollar.
Now they are singing their hallelu-
iahs because of the rise in wheat"
and they are exultantly figuring out
how many millions of dollars the
AtEerican farmers will make by the
advance.
Leaving out of view the fact that a
very considerable portion of the gain
Will go into the pockts of the specula-
tors, and admitting that Their farmer
will make something, we venture to
ask what is to become of the "wsge-
earners in cities" who are thus ruth
lessly compelled to pay more for their
daily dreadP A favorite song with gold
orators last year in cities was that free
silver would raise the prices of agricul-
tural products and of nothing else
Consequently the men working for
wages would be ruined. At the same
time, though, be it remarked in paren-
thesis, they told the farmers that free
silver would not raise the prices of
their crops any, but it would compel
them to pay more for what they bought
and thus ruin them. In the city, &C
cordiug to their reasoning, the farmers
were going to get rich at the expense
Of the denizens of the cities; in the
country the city parasites were going
to fatten gorge ana at the expense of
the poor farmer Both classes were to
be ruined, and in each case the ruin
was to be wrought by a rise in the
pfce of things produced by the other
Class.
Now wheat is going up, and the fact
is proclaimed everywhere by the gold
