member of the, commission So we had
a treaty Of amity, and it was sought to
transfer some members Of the supreme
court to it, or add to their duties the
duties Of judges of a great international
court Of arbitration, to be contaminated
by eastern policies.
Mr.. President, is it not surprising
under circumstances such as these that
the people are becoming suspicious of
the highest judicial tribunal in the
United States? 1 do not speak of these
things for the purpose of saying thai
the supreme court is particularly diff
ferent from any other tribunal. I speak
Of it to show that u highest national
organizations are becoming honey.
combed with what I regard as political
decay. 1t is so Of congress-. No man
can walk into this chamber and not
feel the heated political atmosphere the
moment he opens the door.
Mr.. President. he knows the instant
he enters one Of these doors that con-
gress is not legislating for the people.
He understands that here it is a game
Of party politics from the opening of
congress to it's closing; a sparring for
political position and advantage: an at

party, or to put that particular party in

months time. 1t we would come here
as a business organization, forgetting
politics for the time, and sit down and
leglslate for the country, four months
would be ample time to enact every
law necessary for this government for
two years.; and yet we have A long
session running six and seven and
eight months at d time and at other
times longer, and then a short session
of three months; and congress is always
behind, because it wastes its time in
considering mere party questions.
So this laxity, this moral laxity, exists
in congress-, in the supreme court, in
the lower tribunals, and 1 presume in
other departments.
Now, we are told, and it is simply a
falsehood upon its face, that it is nee
essary to issue interest-bearing bonds
with which to conduct this war. There
is no necessity for bonds. There IS
but one class Of people who call for
them and they are the money power,
Mr.. President, which dominates both
branches Of congress. I say in absolute
branch of congress and the other is
controlled by the money power and the
voice of the people is here stiled or
treated with contempt, if heard at all.
We might add $40, 900, 900 more by the
adoption of this amendment, and then
we can supply $3.50, 900, 900, and l think
it ought to be 5000, OOO, 900, by the issu-
C of greenbacks, thus giving a sur
plus, as I said a moment ago, Of $685.
1855, 2S2. &c. Who can claim that under
such circumstances it will be wise to
authorize the issuance of bonds?

Suppose it should pay these men in

Financiers Importance.

The f1nanciers are telling US a great
deal about their own Importance in con-
nection with the war, but we would
commend to the attention of everybody
the example that Spain is nov setting
us. The inanciers insist that we must
first make arrangements with them be-
fore it will be possible to carry on the
war at all. The administration has a
very warm corner in it's heart for the
.f1naciers, and it listens to all they have
to say with very great consideration.
But Spain is not meeting with h favor
Of the inanciers. She has tried to open
negotiations with them, but they nave
turned a deaf ear to all her pleadings.
The result is that she has determined
to get along without them And really
she has not Jared so i'll. She has held up
her end of this war in a very creditable
way and is meeting her expenses in a
way calculated to palsy the gold stand
ard. She has issued a series of notes
upon the security Of her interest in the
national railways n she is preparing
another series of note issues based upon
the security of the quicksilver mines
belonging to the nation. 1t is announc-
some lines of business there is a renew
al Of activity within her borders. If
Spain can defy the f%lnanciers in time
of war why can we not do the same?
Our financiers have actually begun to
utter threats of kind n another.
Let them threaten. We are not above
profiting by a good example, even when
it is set by the enemy.

Uniform Contracts,

There is not the least prospect that
the present carnival Of contract in con-
nection with the war will come to an
end. Consider the single item of army
uniforms. The contracts were distrib-
uted among firms that had a pull with
the administration, and the charge ia
freely made that a bribery fund Of
$4,000 did its work in connection with
n large order of uniforms. A single
firm in New York city noted for it's
sweat shops and for it's dubious meth
DDS in buying seconds at the cloth
mills, has captured a large uniform con-
tract after having spent a large sum
in Washington. Indeed, some of the
stories regarding these clothing con-
tracts fairly surpass belief. Nor is this
the worst feature of this business.
Nearly all the firms that have CAPTURED
contracts are noted for their tyranny
to their work people. Union labor re-.
ceived very little recognition, and we
do not think it any exaggeration to saw
that scab labor will be employed upon
three-fourts Of the uniforms to be made
for ~ troops. Perhaps the proportion
will be even greater than this.

PRIVATE ENTERPRISES.
Why the u. S. Has No Modern Gun
powder.

Speaking of private enterprise brings
us to the subject of g%unpowder. All
civilized governments of the earth have
discarded the old red and black ngu-
powder and adopted the new smokeless
kind-all except our own government,
which does not make it's g~unpowder,
but leaves the manufacture thereof to
private enterprise. But as it costs
money to equip a plant for the manu-
facture of smokeless powder, our pri-
vate enterprises refused to be at the
expense, n our government. always
alive to the blessings of private en-
terprise, kindly consented to make use
of the old kind. The result is that such
modern guns as we have, and which
require the smokeless powder, cannot
be supplied except from abroad. There
are no facilities in this country for the
manufacture of smOkeless gunpowder.
without first equipping a plant. and
that would take time. AS the corpora
tions engaged in the manufacture Of
gunpowder.including the Dupont
works-have a pull" we have no
modern ~gunpOwder.

O w. J.. BRYAN.
What Kind Of a Soldier Will He
Make.

The action of William Jennings Bry-
an in joining the volunteers and plac-
ing himself at the disposal Of the pres
ident, is denounced by the eastern or
gans of thought as a piece of clap-trap.
They say hat Bryan is merely playing
to the galleries in his usua theatrical
way, that he wants to keep himself in
the public eye, and that, in a general
way, his proceedings stamp his as a
humbug. We do not see what bearing
all this has upon the immediate ques-
ton, which is, what kind of a soldier
William Jennings Bryan will make. If
he knows no more about drilling and
campaigning than most of our troops,
it behooves him to improve rapidly, and
learn the practical details Of a soldiers
life. If he does this, and goes bravely
to the front, fighting the Spaniards and
aiding in the conquest of Cuba. it is
probable that the people generally will
not ask what sort of a politician he is
nor whether he enlisted as a piece of
clap-trap. Perhaps, If he gets killed.
ever the bankers will forgive hin for
enlisting.

FORTUNES MADE FROM WAR
How the Rothschild's Financial
Dynasty Secured Foundation.

1t was Waterloo that made secure
the fame Of Washington as a soldier.
1t was Waterloo that mad secure also
the financial dynasty of the Roth
schilds..
Shrewd old Nathan Rothschild had
waited for Napoleon's downfall, firm in
the faith that it must sooner or later
come. His agents had followed the Cor
sican In his various campaigns that he
might have the first news Of his over
throw, and during the days that imme-
diately preceded Waterloo was himself
with the British army. Indeed, he kept
so close to the commander-in-chie that
the Iron Duke" not knowing him,
fancied he must be either a spy or
possible assassin and threatened to
hang him If he again appeared neal
headquarters.
The day of the great battle Roth
schild from his horse On the Hill Of
~HOugOumont watched the struggle be-
tween the nations, and when at last he
saw that the French army was in re-
treat, posted off to Brussels as fast as
his horse could carry him, from which
point a carriage in waiting conveyed
him to Ostend. There he ounda storm
aging on the channel and the sailors
fearful to cross. But he knew neither
fear nor danger when he saw the CLINT
Of gold. He offered first six, then eight
hundred francs to be taken to the
English coast. At last upon his offering
twenty-five hundred francs a fisher
man having greater courage or greater
cupidity than his fellows undertook the
dangerous task. Before nightfall Roth
schild had landed at Dover and with
out waiting for a moments rest was
on his way to London. On the Goth Of
June he appeared at the stock exchange.
He told his friends in confidence. Of
course, hat Blucher's army had been
utterly destroyed by Napoleon at Ligny
on the 18th and 18th and that as a result
of this defeat there could be no hope
for wellington. His ~whisperings pois-
oned the public faith on every side.
The funds went tumblfng into the bot
tomless pit Of commercial panic, while
private and public credit ceased to
exist.
AS stocks and bonds went down Roth
schild bought all the %consols, bills and
notes he could raise the money to pay
for. Then he waited secure in his
knowledge of the reaction that would
follow the news of Waterloo. On the
22d of June this news reched London.
Values went up more rapidly than they
had previously gone down and shrewd
old Nathan Rothschild counted as his
some Sc, 1000, 900 more Of gold.
