DISCUSSING THE CURRENCY.
But It's a One-Sided Argument-The
People Are Left Ont.

But It's a One-Sided Argument-,rhe
People Are Left Out.
The maquerading of goldbug con-
ferences and manipulating bankers, in
all their learned chatter about sound
currency, scientific banking, national
honor, money good in every part of the
world, and the like, leaves out of con-
sideration the great mass of the Amer
lean people. The maskers want the gov
ernment to issue gold bonds, upon
which gold interest must be paid semi
annually to buy up and retire Sherman
notes, greenbacks, silver certificates
and silver dollars, without even at
tempting to prove that the bank money
they propose to issue in the place of
the government money to be retired
would be better money than the money
which is now issued directly by the
United States. The government pays
no interest on the money which these
manipulators propose to retire, but
would be compelled to pay a very large
interest ON this bank money. The kind
of bank money which they propose to
substitute for government money
they do not accurately describe. Most
OF taGm WIHI The 10 issue
the money the same as it now does, and
give it to the banks, and allow the
banks to loan it to the public, and at
the same time pay the banks interest
on the gold bonds which are issued to
buy up the government money. II
there is anything in this huggery mug
gerry game but donations to the banks,
not only of cash direct, but of grant
of power to expand and contract the
currency in aid of Wall street specula-
tions, the people ought to know it.
We have followed the statements of
Gage, Fairchi1ds, Edmunds, Taylor and
others, before the committee on bank
ing and currency of the house of rep
resentatives, and we are sorry to say
that in every statement of all these
learned savants we find that they pro-
pose to give the turkey to the banks
and the crow to the people, or if the
people prefer, to give the crow to the
people and the turkey to the banks.
If there is anything else in the drivel-
ing hearings before the committee on
banking and currency than a thin
veneering of bankers greed, we would
like to know it-Silver Knight Watch.

Pertinent Questions by the War Depart

CINCINNATI, Feb. 25.-Wharf-master
Robert Schmidt received telegram
from the war department at Washing
ton as to the packets and towboats ar
irving and leaving this harbor. The
message asks that the names of all
boats entering and leaving be for
warded, together with the names of
the companies to which said boats be-
long. They also ask for the amount of
tonnage and number of passengers
each boat would be able to carry; the
rates for freight and also passenger

We Can Accept That UIttmntum.

The London Statist, commenting
some little time since on the reintroduc-
ton of the Stanley Matthews resolution
into the senate by Mr.. Teller, advises its
readers not to invest in American Sc
curities until the currency question is
settled and such resolutions as that of
Senator Teller are laid at rest. Thus
we are told that until we do the bidding
of British financiers we cannot have
British gold. And what is their bid
ding? That we pay two dollars where
wesborrowed one, that we must not per-
nit the introduction into congress of
any such resolutions as that introduced
by Senator Teller and declaring that to
pay our debts in money of the same
value as that in use at the time we con-
tracted our debts would not be in der
ogation of the rights of public cred
itors. I'm short, we are told that we
must pay two dollars where we borrow
one or get along without British gold
for investment. If such are the terms
demanded for British gold we can get
along without it.-Philadelphia Amer.

THREE MEN KILLED.
Buried Beneath One Hundred Tons of Roc
by Premature Explosion.


PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23.-The prema-
ture explosion of a charge of dynamite
yesterday, in stone quarry at Sixty
sixth and Vine streets, killed three
Italian workmen, Mike Desando, Franz
de Succio and Mike Hornburth. The
quarry was owned by w. ]. Mullen,
who had warned the men not to tamper
with the charge, which consisted
of three sticks of dynamite. Horn
burth, however, undertook to loosen
the rock, and dropping the cartridge,
proceeded to ram it down. The explo-
sion followed. Over 100 tons of rock
were loosened and Desando and Desuc-
clio were buried beneath it and in
stantly killed. Hornburth was hurled
so feet in the air. He died shortly
afterwards. Several other workmen
were slightly injured.
