ANDREW JACKsoN'S INDORSE'
MENT.

The matter of enforcing collections is
something that has embarrassed the
Washington departments from the be.
ginning, and some secretaries have de-
cided it one way and some another.
There is characteristic story told Of
Gen. Jackson in this connection. There
was boarding g-house keeper here in the
early thirties who had been Jackson
man from the moment he heard him in
New Orleans in 1916. Jackson knew
him well and was quite fond OF him. A
department clerk owed the Presidents
friend formidable board bill and re-.
fused to pay it. The landlord com.
planned to Jackson, who asked him If he
had the clerks note. He did not have
it and Jackson advised him to secure the
fellows note and bring it to him. The
clerk was glad to settle the matter that
way and readily gave his note and con-
graduated himself upon the fact that he
had that ugly matter of his hands, at
least The landlord took the note to
Jackson, who indorsed it. Then bank
discounted it. He met the clerk few
days afterward and the latter tantalized
him with the question: "What did you
do with my note? " "0h, the bank
discounted it," was the answer. "Who
indorsed itP" asked the clerk. "Andrew
Jackson, President of the United States, /"
was the reply. "The devil he did2"
calculated the clerk, who set about at
once to meet it the day it fell due, and
meet it he did.--Louisville Courier Jour.

JACKSON ON THE MONEY POWER.

The contest between the money power
and the people is no new affair in this
country, as history OF General Jackson's s
eight years OF administration demon
strated. The United States bank,
then desiring recharter, had assumed
the financial dictatorship of the country
and was opposed by Jackson. In 1882
the bank boldly entered the 6el3 against
Jackson, confidently expecting TO de.
, seos soos aaim for reelection. The bank bill
passed Congress III tie summer Of 1882
and Jackson vetoed the measure and
appealed to the country. The decision
was against the bank, Jackson being
triumphantly reelected. In one of his
annual messages after he congratulated
Congress on getting away from the
bondage of the bank, some OF his SEN
sentences are almost prophetic. He
says
"All the serious dangers which our
system has yet encountered may be
traced to the resort to implied powers,
and the use of corporations clothed with
privileges, the effect Of which is to ad.
vance the interests of the few at the ex-
pense of the many. We have felt but
one class Of these dangers exhibited in
the contest Saged by the bank of the
United States against the government
for the last four years. Happily they
have been obviated for the present by
the indignant resistance of the people;
but we should recolIect that the princi-
pie from which they sprang is an ever
active one, which will not fail to renew
its efforts in the same and in other
forms, so long as there is hope of sue.
cess, founded either on the inattention
of the people or the treachery of their
representatives to the subtle progress of
its influence"
The entire message was a discussion of
the greed Of monopoly and wealth, and
warning to the people Of its seductive
influence. wherever this spirit" con.
ii ues this message, "has effected an
alliance with political power, tyranny
and despotism have been the fruit"
The American people have had reason
Of late years to call up the warning
words of Andrew Jackson. Under the
grasping policy inaugurated years ago,
the burden of debts has been doubled,
the values of property and prices of
products reduced to point that has
brought industrial stagnation and COM
mercial ruin. Despite such results these
same monetary rulers ask that the cur
rency issuing power be placed in the
hands of banks chartered by the govern
ment similar to the old United States
banks, and that these have control of
the finance of the nation. 1t is the same
old fight, the people against the aggres.
sions of the money power. 1t may last
for some time, but when settled, it will
be settled right. -

Some people seem to think that money
can do everything, even unto salvation.
And this idea appears to prevail to some
extent among professors of religion who
ought to remember that Eye cannot
serve God and mammon." No one can
do good and at the same time serve the
bad. The heart must be right other.
wise all is wrong. Why is it, in re-
public like ours, organized "to establish
justice" that our legislation must be
almost wholly with view to confer
benefits in some shape, on some class or
classes, or bestow privilege. The
advocates of this selfish policy always
claim to the people that it is for their
benefit, and thus are many people delu'
ded. In this way protection is bles'
sed thing for the people and national
banks are to furnish the dear people
money. People should remember the
old adage that "what is one mans meat
is another mans poison" And
assuredly if a law grants special favors
by which some get more, Others must
get less. 1t may be called protection or
something else, but the fact remains ii
is robbing some to benefit others-rob'
bing under the guise OF law. There are
lands where the people are divided into
ranks or classes, that is privileged
classes, and the great class, the toiling
millions not privileged save to toll and
drudge. 1t was in this connection that
Robert Burns wrote:
If Pm designed you lordling's slave
By natures law designed,
Why was an independent wish
Fer planted in my mindP
In those countries where privileged
classes dominate they claim this arrange
ment is altogether the best for all paraies
giving more stability and safety. Ol
course there is no foundation for the
claim. And if royalty, landed aristo'
cracy, established church, ETC., are
blessings, the world has been blessed
and is yet to fearful extent Accord,
ing to our declaration, "all men are
created equal" and equally entitled "life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
that to secure these governments are
instituted among men etc." The idea is
that the government is,the agent of the
people the whole people-not of a
favored few. These principles Ameri-
cans should consider and inhexibly ad-
hered to- In this lineis safety and pros.
perity. We shall not 6ud these in the
robber way we have been going.

REPUBLICAN OPINION OF THE
AVERAGE GOLD DEMOCRAT

The Lisbon, o., Buckeye State, a
staunch Republican paper, says CT the
appointment of Lyman J. Gage:
At the first moment Of cursory con-
sideration one is inclined to congratulate
President-elect Mckinley upon the ap.
pointment of LymanJ. Gage, schuoled
and practical fnancier, as secretary of
the treasury. Aside from the fact that
Mr.. Gage has favored the public with an
announcement of mis- proposed policy,
which sets forth some theories of finance
such as do not and will not meet the
endorsement of the masses Of the people,
there are other conditions to be con-
sidered in estimating the value of Mr..
Gage as member of the official family
of the incoming President. If MIR. Nc.
Kinley's administration is to be sue.
cessful one, there must be complete
political accord among the members of
the cabinet. The mere fact that the
Republicanism of Mr.. Gage has been
questioned weskens his usefulness, and
so long as he is member Of the cabinet
will make of him an object of suspicion.
1t will be strange if this fact, coupled
with his admission that he once voted
for Cleveland and holds modified"
views on the tariff question, does not
completely destroy his usefulness and
introduce into the cabinet an element
of distrust which will greatly initiate
against the success of the administra-
ton. Political harlotry can not be
made respectable by elevatingi it to the
dignity Of cabinet Office.

LITTLE Rock, Feb. s. 8.-Democrats and
Populists each had candidate for

Childers, the Democrat, was declared
elected by small majority, Stewart,
the Populist, charged fraud. Election
commissioners discovered an error and
gave the election to Stewart.
County Judge Townsend, a Demo-
crat, held that the vote in several dis
tricts were irregular and he threw it
out and confirmed the election of
Childers. Populists and Prohibitionists
on one side and the Childers faction on
the other side are arming and there is
fear bloodshed will result.

LOUlSlANA'S FAMINE.
Big Territory Affected by Failure OF
Crops-The People Suffering.

New ORLEANS, Feb. S.-Reports from
North Louisiana show the destitution
there. The vast territory affected by
the drought extends between the Red
river and the Arkansas line and the
west boundary line and the river
parishes to the east.
Fully $4,000 people are affected, or 20
per cent of the total population Of II
parishes in the stricken districts.
In most Of this area not one bale of
cotton has been raised to 10 acres in
cultivation, and practically no corn has
survived the long dry spell.
The cotton shortage in the parishes
will range between 60 and 75 per cent,
a monetary loss Of $4,000, 900, The loss
on cotton seed, corn and stock must be
enumerated, swelling these figures to
$1,000, 900. Seed corn and corn must be
furnished the stricken planters, while
daily raa::!!ons must be served out to the
thousands in order to save them from
death by starvation.
