LOCAL STATE MONEY.
editor Representative:

Editor Representative:
There is one proposition which 7
would like to impress upon the minds
OF all the people in America, and that
is, that MONEY MONOPOLY CANNOT
BE DESTROYED WITHOUT LOCAL,
STATE MONEY.
Why not? Because the balance of
trade is against the agricultural states
under any kind of national money sys-
tenn and they must export their national
| money from time to time to pay this
balance
Now let me call your attention to
another thing.
The balance of the trade is against
every agricultural state or nation on
earth which exports it's raw materials
and imports the manufactured goods of
other states or nations, and this is the
road to poverty, slavery and barbarism.
DO you want the proof of this prop
osition?
You will find 1t in McCarey's mag
nificent work on political economy.
We learn from Benjamin Franklin
that before the colony Of PENNSYLVANIA
adopted her local currency of legal ten
der paper money in 1923, the colony was
| entirely stripped of her gold and sill
ver,' which was owing to the fact that
the balance CT her trade with Great
Britain was against her, and the coin
was exported to pay this balance
There was no other remedy then and
there is no other remedy now but local
state money
The Republican party gave us the
legal tender national treasury note, but
the legal tender state treasury note
would be far more precious gift to the
people Of this country.
| And instead Of imperilling the union
| by restoring to every state the power
to issue and control it's own local cur
rency, the truth is that the union can
be perpetuated in no other way, and
in no other way can money monopoly
be destroyed.
| No other remedy, therefore, is pow
erful enough to cure the disease; md
it must be remembered that tho people
OF this country never were without local
| state currency of some kind until March
3, 1866, when congress put a tax Of ten
per cent on state bank notes; a tyran
nical act which was more calamitous
to the southern states than the loss VI
all their negro slaves This act should
have been entitled, can act to more
perfectly establish the trade system and
money monopoly by the destruction OF
all local currency for the exclusive ben
eft of the trade power anu money power
of the manufacturing states.

certain class Of angels must forget
their sainted condition and explode VIC
lently every time our grand United States
cabinet holds meeting. We mean
those angels who used to wear knee
breeches and run this government in the
days OF Washington, Jefferson, Adams
Madison and the rest.
What a sight for gods and men and
real angels is meeting of our present
cabinet! What a parody on the scheme
to entrust the nations affairs to the
ablest hands.
Think of this array:
Bliss, a dry goods Spectator, full OF
knowledge about bombazine and calico
but ignorant of craftsmanship as a mole

Alger-secretary of war, of all funny
things-a Spectator in lumber, a mall
who missed the chance to do anything
in a real war, but did not miss the
chance to pile up a great fortune after
it.
Long, convicted rigger of the mar
ket, a weak, poor tool, Hanna's cabinet
dummy and member Of the Massachu-
sets Peace Society. He is at the head
OF the navy. Isn't that funny?
And Gage called even in Chicago
Lyman ]. Gouge.' He has charge OF
the national pocketbook and is as thor
oughly owned by the public gouging
banking business as the dirty door mat
in the lobby of the Chemical bank.
And poor old John Sherman, ghost
OF past greatness, ousted by an Ohio
midget named Day. and few more OF
the same stripe.
There they solemnly sit, wondering
just how much national decency can be
stretched, without breaking; Not a man
ever did thing for the government
Not man ever earned from his country
the slightest mark Of gratitude or honor
They have spent their lives accumu-
lating dollars. They know nothing
about the duties of the offices that they
have severally bought At the end OF
selfish, small, contemplate, money
grubbing lives each has bought himself
a great national Office. as vain African
negro buys a generals coat. and there
they sit in their stolen finery like a lot
OF imitation soldiers at schuetzen fest
A pretty sight they make, don't they
running this country with national
crisis to manage? It is certain Jefferson
son and Washington sit all day with
their wings folded across their eyes, or
else walk about with their noses in the
air for fear they may accidentally look
down at the disgrace Of the nation which
they started on its way.

THE SERVANT GIRL QUESTION,
Some Sensible Views,
New York Journal


In St. Louis last year "a women were
admitted to the public insane asylums
OF these 6S were employed as domestic
servants.
There is possibly something to think
about in this for the sarcastic, clever
employers forever dilating on the short
comings of their help"
If the man who pays few dollars q
month for a woman's slavery would
think occasionally of the life that the
woman in his kitchen leads, he would
not jeer so much at the mistakes she
makes, at her outbursts of temper or her
frequent changes.
The domestic servant works all day
long. She may rest occasionally for q
few moments, but her work is never
finished. She goes to her bed from her
work, and goes straight to her work
from her bed. While the critical master
sleeps she is getting his breakfast
While he dozes or wisely discourses
after dinner in the evening she is
washing dishes. Each mistake is prompt
ly pointed out to her. Her constant,
patient labor is all taken for granted.
No man could do the work for six

Democratic Party a Failure.
John R. Beasley writes us from Mem
phis. Tenn:
Congress is the battlefield selected by
the aristocrats of England and America
for their contest with the people for the
control of the currency. These aristo-
Gratis have control of both of the old po-
litical parties with unlimited wealth at
their command and it will be necessary
for the Peoples Party to elect the presi-
congress or have twothirls vote to
overcome presidential veto before any
thing can be done in congress for the
benefit of the people, and he quotes
Herbert Spencer as saying in 1888:
THAT politicians have taken the reins
Of government entirely ont of the hands
of the people of America, political con-
ventions nominate the candidates for Of
fee and say to the people vote for the
candidates we present or throw your
political influence away and, continu-
ing, Mr. Beasley says:

Of next July, but l will go if | can.
am still for Donnelly for president, and
1 am for Debs for vice-president, pro-
vided he runs on our platform. We
must hold our grip. Stay in the middle
OF the road and pay no attention to the
cry of the Democratic party for help
That party was a failure from the begin
ming. It has always played with the
hare and ran with the hounds. Mr.
Jefferson said in his first inaugural ad-
dress: We are all Republicans-WE
ARE ALL FEDERAdSTS. And SO
we'll did he please the trade power and
money power OF New England that he
actually carried Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire in his seconl race. 1t Ii
time the Democratic party was buried.

Somebody's Sister.


A crowd of men in railway train
Sat talking of many a thing;
Or the price of goods, and want of rain,
The weather and tardy spring.
They saw at station very soon
maiden both young and fair,
With face as fresh as a rose in June,
And wealth of bright brown hair.
Just for moment all was still,
Then youth said with ieer.
Shed join our set if she had her will
Did you see her glance up here?
III just step forward and speak to her,
And humOr her little plan"
And he smiled the weak and silly smile
OF a vain and thoughtless man.
"Sit STILL said one with grizzled hair,
IF you have a sister, sir,
Respect the sisters of other men
Though but for the sake OF her.
How would you feel if she stood there,
And 1, with scornful jeer,
Should ask-forgetting my own bold
stare?
Did you see her glance up here?'"
That's SOY said another angrily,
and it might have been my Grace,
For she visits right often a family
That live pretty nigh this place;
And the man that spoke of my daughter
Couldn't ride in train with me.
And so, young sir you had better go
Where fathers are scarcer! See?"
" IT'S always my plan,' said thoughtful
To do as good men should;
Think every woman, both old and young,
And pretty and plain are good.
For have a mother and sister at home.
And l have a daughter and wife;
And I'm bound to say that every day,
They're the comfort and joy Of my
life.''
"And plenty OF men have wives like
mine,
And daughters as fair and sweet,
And gray-haired mothers as good and
true.
And sisters as kind and neat;
And l say that he who will fling a sheer
Or doubt at a girl-why then,
He's neither worthy of woman's love,
Nor worthy to sit with men,"
So the youth went out with a very sad
face,
And nobody missed him a moments
space
And perhaps he has learned, if ever he
caE,
That to sheer at a woman is shame to
man.

are going at the rate OF nearly IL. At
Is the total abstainers have moved along
to death rate of little over six per
thousand and the others nearly
16. At IS it is a little over Il
per thousand. At so, The Rechabite
mortality is just nine per thousand, and
the others nearly 16. At SIS it is a lit
tie over Is for the total abstainers, while
the rest reach death rate Of just q
per thousand. At go, the death rate Of
the Rechabites is rs per thousand, while
that of the other societies has reached
nearly 80 per thousand.
We intimated above that since the
Rechabites were laboring men almost ex-
clusively, their death rate, all other
things being equal, would be consider
ably above that of the societies compos-
ed of more protected classes. There IS
another large assurance organization.
the Foresters' Friendly Society, which
is in all respects similar to the Recha-
bites, save that non-absta1ners are adj
rates, owing to the two elements of extra
risk of occupation and the admission OF
moderate drinkers, considerably outrun
the rate of the ordinary organizations
with which the comparison has been
made above, and are throughout nearly
double those of the Rechabites. Up to
the age OF 55 in each, an inspection of
the table shows that the Foresters'
death rate per thousand is actually dou-
BILE that of the Rechabites. At GO.
owing to bound Of laboring mans life
being reached, and also to the fact that #
is the total abstainers of the Foresters
who are now living and in competition
with the Rechabites, the Rechabite rate
is 26 per thousand while the Forester
rate is nearly 81.
A careful inspection of the death rates
OF these two companies convinces one
that for labOring men the use of alcohol
even moderately, increases the death
rate nearly one-half, while of the other
classes it increases it proportionately.
Since the experience of these two as
surance organizations has been so mark
edly in favor of total abstinence, other
companies have adopted the principle of
discriminating between drinkers and
non-drinkers, until this practice has now
behind it half century of success. The
result is that the moderate drinkers.
though only those otherwise in excellent
condition and very moderate" are IN
sured, usually keep up to the tables In
mortality and SO get little, if any. re-
bate, while the total abstainers in all
these companies, year after year, persist
IN living beyond their appointed time
and receive rebates of from 20 to 30 per
per cent. Several of these companies
allow an advance rebate of 10 per cent
to total abstainers. 81
In American life insurance com
panies, although abstainers have not
been separately classified, as they should
demand to be, it has been shown by
Emery McClintock, actuary of the Now
York Life Insurance society, that from
1875 to 1889, that the abstainers insur-
ed by this company show a mortality OF
only 70 per cent, as compared with 80
per, cent for non-abstainers.

Total Abstinence and Longevity.
The American Issue.

he .AulSTlEuu issue.
It is sometimes asserted by whisky
journals and advocates of alcoholic slim
ulants that the moderate use of strong
drink tends to longevity, that moderate
drinkers live longer than total abstain
ers. This is an assertion directly in
the face Of the experience OF the in
surance companies.
This matter has long been settled in
Great Britain. Take single example.
''The Independent Order Of Rechabites
is a teetotal workingmans benefit socio-
ty. 1t has an adult membership Of 49,
600 and a Juvenile membership of 10000
It has been in existence over 60 years,
and financially is highly prosperous
Its mortality experience, rs calculated
by Mr.. Nelson, the actuary. shows that
at IL years of age Rechabites have an
Expectancy" of life of 5O.62 years, while
according to the registrar general, the
expectancy of all males of the communi-
ty is 41.90, and according to the institute
Of actuaries' life tables, that of the
healthy males belonging to the well-to-
do classes, whose lives are insured, and
are at the age named, is 1850 years"
The Rechabite figures show that oil
males in the country over 10 years of age
who use alcohol shorten their lives to
the extent, on the average, of something
more than seven years each.
Or look at the matter in another way:
We contrast the Rechabites, first, with
the average of 20 leading life insurance
companies dealing only with first-class
lives. It is to be noted that the Recha-
bites are made up almost wholly of Ia
boring men, whose death rate is natur-
ally greater than that of other classes.
If they were composed of men engaged
in sheltered occupations and in the pro-
LESSONS, as are the great majority o:
persons in the other companies, 1e
showing would be still more favorable
to the Rechabites. But notwithstanding
the extra hazardous nature Of their o.
cupation, the death rate OF the Recha-
bites per Thousand. at the age rs, Is
three, while in the other companies Il
Is five. At 80, 1t is four, while OF the
others it is seven. At IS it is still only
