The Farmer Last year you
said the high price of wheat was
caused by the republican party.
Now what I want you to explain is
this: What party has caused the
present low price ?"
Campaigner Yes. that's sim
pie; this internal silver. coinage
agitation is the cause of it."
Farmer But didn't you just
tell me that the silver issue was
dead?"
Campaigner (Confused) Yes;
but the deader it is the lower the
price of wheat-er-oh-I mean the
higher the price. Oh, you ignor-
ant clodhoppers make me tired. !"

Deli Us from Perpetual Bondage
I e Are to Be a Free and In
% ndent People

B rding the bondage of the
Anne IAN people, John Clark Rid
patti bus writes, and what he says
shou put the people to thinking
cite bond and the crown 60 well
toge IS; but not the bond and the
hae 7he bond cherishes a chron-
ic dis ke Of all democracy. IF the
bond ccepts ublicanism, it is
only at kind that wears a plume,
back np against an arsenal and
inst as new wars in order to in-
creas he bond.
s'T bonded debt of the United
States was intended to subserye a
temporary purpose IN our econo-
my, and then to 60 away By pay
ament Nobody wishes to repudi-
ate a debt made necessary by the
peril Of the nation. What the peo-
pie want is payment; and what the
bond wants is eternal life The
bond knows that If has no perma-
Hnent place among free institutions.
The bond accordingly interests
itself in the latest tactics. It pro-
notes sstanding armies and great
navies. Itcirculates treaties of the
English system of finance and pro-
nounoes superAuous eulogies upon
the supreme court. AS to the peo-
pie, the bond utters the same pro-
fame wish which one of our distin-
guished financiers in New York
uttered about the publicI The
bond says that it is a part of the
national honor" and that an hon
orable thing ought to live forever.
.'The creation of a permanent
fundholding interest in a republic
is inconsistent with it. The bond
is a part of the monarchial appar-
atus, but to nation of freemen It
lis a thing of ilI omen. Once adj
mitted into the republic, the bord
discovers that a republic is not
strong enough for it's purposes
The coupons of a perpetual debt
become at last annoying, even to
christians and patriots. However
silently the cupons are clipped.
and however patriotically they are
paid, the time comes when the
payor wearies little of the semi
annual tribute.
A true people, such as the Am
ericans. will not shrink from the
full discharge of a debt that was
contracted for the preservation of
the union.
It is only when the holders of
that debt propose to make it eter-
nal and contrive it shall be paid in
standard unit worth two for one;
only when the bond is siudiciously
increased from time to time; only
when the American republic by
such means begins to be manifest
ly Europeanized; only when CON
dition is cautiously prepared which
must be maintained by standing
army and cities full of arsenals,
that the citizen of the union be-
gins to consider whether his inheri-
tance is worth the having. A bon
ded debt that grows larger as the
people pay it; debt that has swal-
lowed the heresources of the Am
erican people for thirty years and
still has as much purchasing pow
er as ever;a debt that intrenches
itself with false legislation and in
iqutous judicial decisions, is fact
that may we'll be mentioned in the
Litany with the usual words, From
this. also, good Lord, deliver us. !"

SENATOR rELLEn.s OPINION.


In commenting on the passage OF the
revenue bill Senator Teller said that while
no could not congratulate the country. yet
he was agreeably surprised that the
amount Of bonds to be issued was less
than $500 100000. He expressed an en-
phatic dlsapproval OF what was evidently
an effort ITO take advantage OF an In
consequential war to create huge public
debt"
In the minds OF many the approximations
OF such men as the senator from Colorado,
that there are we'll organized forces which
intend the creation of a perpetual National
debt for the fostering of class privileges.
and ultimately subyerson OF the pres
eht form OF government, do not seem to be
founded on anything more than the i'm
aSination OF The alarmlst And indeed, Il
Is difficult TO realize the dangerous lnflu-
cnces that at all times surround and some
times dominate tho general government:
but we have only to consider the greatness
OF the spoils OF tho corruptlonIst and re-
ilect moment upon his previous career
In the history Of the country.
The democratic form OF government I'M
poses the burdens OF society upon all men

mi!iar with Its principles can contend that
the men who have built Up the enormous

friends OF free institutions. The idea.
therefore, that there is an effort being
mado to take advantage of an incense,
duential war to create huge bonded debt
is altogether conservative statement
warranted by history and the manifest
tendencies Of the times. II congress were
assembled to foster class rule aud sup
plant democracy with a moneyod oligarchy

along any other lines than those OF the

OF course the big trusts will unite to
fight the war tax by which 1t Is sought TO
make them pay some share of the cost of
this war. The burden that the tax lays
upon them is not so very heavy, but the
typical trust magnate recognizes that 1t is
a mighty bad thing for the idea to gain
currency that trusts can be taxed at all.
For some decades. under the kindly rule
of the republican party, and the hardly
distlnguishable regime of Mr.. Grover
Cleveland the various revenue bills framed
by the National legislature have been so
constructed as to build up a very consd-
cradle volume Of presidents supporting the
theory that the taxing power OF the Nation
is to be exerted for the benefit Of the trusts.
not TO mulct them.
The horror and wrath of the trusts in the
face of this sudden change OF front by
congressor at any rate by the senate.
which has happily a considerable demo-
cratic leaven-are easily understood. The
war revenue bill must seem to them vio-
lative Of the precedents Of half century.
Undoubtedly they regard 1t as destructive
of the sacred rights of property, and 1t Is
only a matter Of few hours before they
