An Unreasonable Money System.

An Unreasonable Money System.
II any man Of average intelligence
will wake up, break through his pre-
JUDGES and lake square look at the
financial situation in the United States,
he will see that our monetary system
is based on an irrational and danger
GUS foundation; and having made this
discovery concerning affairs at home,
he will be prepared to extend his view
and see that the rest Of the world is
just as we are in that respect. For 20
cents we buy copper blanks enough to
make 100 1-cent pieces; for 30 cents we
buy enough scent blanks to make
$3.50 worth of "nickles." And these
coins are legal tender for Is cents.
The bullion in our silver dollar Is
worth-say AZ cents now, yet the coin
goes everywhere in the United States
for full dollar and nobody questions
its right to do so. And then we have
greenbacks and treasury notes and sill
yer certificates, with no intrinsic value
whatever, passing from hand to hand
as Current money with the merchant"

The Louisiana populist., 1897-12-17

creasing expenses the Republican ad-
ministration will soon be compelled to
affront the people with another issue
of bonds to meet the running expenses
Of the government.
Thus the money-changers will reap
their prv fits as we'll as the protected
trusts, and all of those who contributed
funds to elect President Mckinley will
receive their reward. The function of
the people, in this arrangement, will
be the payment Of additional interest
upon bonds. And where will the
treasury get this interest money?
Why, Ey selling still more bonds.
Republican statesmen and politicians
claimed all during the campaign that
the cause of all the hard times and
trouble was the failure of the Wilson
bill to produce revenue sufficient to run
the expenses of the government. That
the government short Of money made
the people short Of money too. They
did not show why the Wilson tariff
failed or how it differed from the form
er Mckinley high tariff bill which also
failed to produce revenue sufficient to
run the government.
Now the Dingley bill is on trial as
the acme of the wisdom of republican
statesmen, says the Referendum. 1t,
however, failed in August to meet the
expenses for that month leaving a de-
ficit Of over $13,OOO,OOO. The Septem-
Der deficit is not so great because the
expense Of the government was the
smallest OF any month of the year, be-
ing only $2s,36s,s15; still the deficit
for September is $3,435,717, or at the
rate Of about s4O,OOO,0OO per year. The
cause of this deficit is what we have
before pointed out, viz: the falling off
OF imports because the prices in Amer
lea are generally 50 low and so many
of our people have been so long idle
leaving little money in the hands Of
the producing classes, who themselves
have the wants but not the money to
satisfy them with. Consequently our
home market is unattractive to foreign
importers, and down goes the efficacy
OF any sort Of tariff depending for its
revenue on imported goods. Goods
will not be imported in any consider
able quantities when the money supply
Is too small to sustain the home mar
ket and when as consequence Of the
same scarce money conditions the peo-
pie have had no chance to earn money,
giving them the ability to pay for (de-
manO imported goods.
Again if goods were imported in any
| considerable quantities now, they
must be imported in competition with
similar home made goods and would
soon supply any little demand the peo-
| pie with money to pay for them could
make, and down would close the fac
tories.
The republicans can't raise the nec-
essary revenue to run the government
without an increase Of the circulating
medium. Their doctrine is like the old
Calvinistic theology,
You shall and you shant,
You will and you won't;
You'll be damned if you do
And you'll be damned If you don't.

lapse of the American thrift that for
merly resulted in a competency for
every industrious citizen in his declin-

The Elysium of the Mart.
Slow fades the pageant, and the phan-
tom stage
AS slowly filled with squalid, ghastly
forms;
Here, over fireless hearths, covered
shivering Age
And blew with feeble breath dead
embers; storms
Hung in the icy welkin, and the bare
Earth lay forbidden in Winters char
mel air.
No careless childhood laughed disport-
ingly,
But dwarfed, pale mandrakes, with
century's gloom
On infant brows, beneath poison tree.
With skeleton fingers piled ghastly
loom;
Mocking in cynic jests life's gravest
things,
They wove gay king-robes, muttering,
What are kings?"
And thro' that dreary Hades to and fro.
Stalked, all unheeded, the Tartarean
guests;
Grim Discomfort, that loathes the gods,
and Woe,
Clasping dead infants to her milkless
breasts;
And maddening Hate, and Force, with
iron heel.
And voiceless Vengeance, sharpening
secret steel.
Can such things be below and God
above?"
Faltered the king. Replied the
genius. NAY,
This Is the state that sages most ap-
prove;
This is man civilized, the perfect
OF merchant kings, the ripeness Of the
art
Which cheapens nen-the Elysium Of

Lookest thou down from thy home
above,
Or knowest thou. William Penn,
That in thy land of "Brotherly love"
They shoot down hungry men?
Thy brothers board is starkly bare.
No sunbeam lights his den,
For the earth is owned by the million
And they shoot down starving men!
But there's an production they
say,
Luxuries wasting all around;
Yet thy brother has barely bread for
pay
For toiling beneath the ground.
What food for soul. I ask, and yet
We know he has this to mind
That he may be buried alive in the pit
And his little ones left behind.
My sickening soul the scene abhors.
Great God, was this thy plan
That few should gather up thy stores
And starve their brother man?
Amy B. Everette.

Did you ever seriously think over the
fact that the men who gather up what
Is produced live easier and better than
the men who produce it? It would not
be this way If the producer had his
rights, and the reason he hasn't them
is, that he acts the simpleton and votes
for the fellow that don't produce any
thing. Are you doing this ?-Jackson
