"A secret meeting WAS held tonight at

with good authority that General Gar

an hour and half. The information
Obtained Is to the effect that the Cuban

1t was resolved to disband the Cuban
army and the United States should pay

THIS is PROSPERITY.

From New Time, Chicago: Do not lose
sight of the fact that prosperity is here.
We are enjoying "good times" In afew
years 1897 and 1898 will be referred to as
specimen periods of great prosperity.
The banks are filled with money. There
is $172, 900 900 in the gold reserve. Wheat
is selling at slips a bushel. We are
gravely informed hat everything is
booming.
How is it with you? Have your wages
been raised? Are you saving money?
Have you built a new house? How
much of this prosperity has reached
you?
After a while we will have a panic.
We will have a period of "hard times.''
They will be so "hard" that you will
have no difficulty in recognizing them.
Then you will know that which you
doubt to-day, viz: that the year 1898 was
called a prosperous one. Banks will
fail factories will shut down; riots will
occur; men will be shot down; wheat
will sell at forty cents a bushel.
Prosperity under our system of indus
try is a temporary cessation of acute
misery.
Since the Inauguration Of Mckinley
and prosperity more than one hundred
trusts have been formed in the United
States. The aggregate capital of sixteen
of these combines approximates five
hundred millions.
Some newspapers claim we ought ia
annex the Hawaiian islands because
Americans have thirty millions invested
there. Well, if that is good logic, the
United States ought to be annexed to
England, because the British have ovei
fifteen billion dollars invested here.
Prosperity with a vengeance: They
are still cutting down wages in New Eng
land. The Boston Manufacturing Co..
of Waltham, Mass, will reduce the
wages OF 1900 employees 10 per cent. or
May Goth, and a strike may result. Tn,
Carnegie Company have notified theiI
several thousand employees Of a 10 pei
cent reduction in wages. New York bal
about 1877 900 workers idle, and the ap
appeals for charity are more urgent thar
! ever before.

RULE OR RUIN.

1.-THE coming of the seigniorage anG
the greenback issue are only different
ways OF adding to our credit money. The
seigniorage would give us $42, 100000 in
silver certificates. This, with the pro.
posed greenback issue of $3.50, OOO, 900,
would add $192, 900 900 to our present
volume of $500, 900, 900 in paper money.
money. The house will never consent
to enact such a financial crime, even un.
der the stress Of war;"
There you have it-rule or ruin. The
populists and democrats offer a means
OF providing for all the great demands
in money for the army and navy and
other expenses of the government, but
oppose the issue of $500, ZOO, 900 in bonds
as unnecessary. They say, however,
that should the war be of long duration,
and no other way could be devised for
raising money for prosecuting the war to
a successful conclusion, they would vote
for bonds, even though they believe that
by so doing they would be paying ten
dollars to the money sharks that they
might thereby get one dollar to the sol
diers and sailors. But the Oregonian
tells us that the house will not consent
to add to our credit money-"will never
consent to enact such a financial crime,
EVEN UNDER THE STRESS OF WAR" The
Oregonian speaks as one in authority
when defining the policy of the gold
standard party. He here gives us plain
ly to understand that unless the bond
proposition of the house bill is not &C.
coded to by the senate, they will leave
the government without money, neces-
stating the recall of our fleets, disband-
ment of our armies, let the Spaniards
triumph, and the United States be the
scorn of the nations of the world.
Oliver P. Morton, Indiana's "war gov
ernor," afterwards U. S. senator, thus
refers to the agents of the Money Power
who infested the national capital during
the great rebellion: "There is gathered
around the capitol of this nation a gang
of pirates who Numbered successfully at
the doors until they had driven this gov
eminent into the most preposterous acts
of bad faith and legalized robbery that
ever oppressed a free nation since the
dawn of history" Undoubtedly the
gang, largely reinforced, are now swarm
ing about the national capitol, and their
influence is more to be dreaded than ali
the fleets and armies of Spain.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1898-05-27

warning factions, to that it is incapable
OF government, as exempliffed by the
condition existing in the Office of the
state treasurer, there being at this time
more than a half million of dollars there
in wrung from the people by the process
OF taxation, while state warrants are
stamped mot paid for want of funds"
We pemand that all district and coun-
ty officers be placed upon salaries COM
mensurate with the duties to be per-
formed by them.
lnasmuch as railroad and other cor
porate property is not bearing its pro-
portion of taxation, we demand that
such property shall bear its just and
equal share of the expenses of govern
ment.

THE POWER OVER ALL POWERS.

An unknown writer thus portrays the
power of money: "Give me control of
the money of the land-give me the
money power, and I will bid defiance to
all other powers combined. Talk about
the power of the sword! 1t as harmless
against money as a sucking babe. Give
me control of the currency of a people,
and a hundred ways are open to me to
deprive them of their lives, their liberty
and their property. Will they fight to
retain these blessings? MOI for | will
use the money to array them against
each other; buy them into slavery as
soldiers and set them to fighting like
Kilkenny cats, till not a grease spot is
left to represent their lives. And then,
who but me to inherit their property, in
Guiding the very money for which they
laid down both their liberty and their
lives?"
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1898-05-27
HONOR THE G~REENBACK.

All OF the many currency schemes for
reforming the currency laws, by the gold
ties, includes the retiring of the green
backs. There are 346 millions of them,
all as good as gold. They will pay all
debts, public and private. They were
as indispensable as the flag itself in
bringing the war to a successful conclu-
sion. The people love them. Many an
old veteran has a greenback between the
lids Of his bible, kept as a family heir
loom. In all the years that have passed
since Lincoln issued the g%reenbacks, not
one OF them has ever been presented to
the Uuited States treasury for redemp-
ton, save by those who use them as a
means to force the issue of bonds and
drive upward the price of gold.
The above being true, why this united,
determined, persistent effort on the
part of the gold-standard financiers to
destroy the greenbacks?. This is the
prayer of the Baltimore convention of
bankers, of the indianapolis convention
of bankers, the chief and most odious
provision in ex-Secretary of the treasury
Carlisle's bill, and the recommendation
of Gage, McKinley's secretary of the
treasury. All declare the glorious old
greenbacks, good as gold for all purposes,
must go, to make room for national bank
shinplasters that are not legal tenders.
They are mere promises of the banker to
pay meney, and the more they owe the
greater their income. Here is the cause
of their agony: Had the %greenbacks
been converted into Understanding
bonds thirty years ago, the bonds would
have become the property of the money
brokers, and become the basis for ma
tional bank circulation, and the united
political power Of the increased number
Of banks would have made them to-day
invincible in all political contests. They
could choose all our officers, from the
highest to the lowest; they could have
declared wal or demanded peace with as
mucn power and authority as the car
of Russia. They could and no doubt
would have discontinued the payment
of all pensions, for the Money Power
loves money alone and would fritter
away no moneyon worn-out old soldiers.
That would not pay it would not be
''business."
The interest on the bonds and bank
notes, at ten per cent, would double ev-
cry ten years. Thus 346 millions in
tw~enty-eight years would increase to the
inconceivable sum of SO, 1856, 0O0, 900 IL
a sum sufficient to pay all expenses of
the present war, fortify our coasts and
construct a world-defying navy. This
immense sum has been saved to the
people and lost to the Money Power
by saving from the flames the non-inter-
est-bearing legal tender greenback-the
glorious old greenback, that saved us in
war and is preserving us in peace. This
is why the bankers are making such
agonizing efforts to destroy the green
back-this the hemlock juice that poi
sons all their joys.

Six times in the career of the late Mr.,
Gladstone, as premier of the house OF
commons, he has been called npon by
the Queen of England to choose a new
ministry. When the house of commons
votes a "want of confidence in the gov
eminent" the ministers at once resign
and the queen calls upon the premier to
name ministers who have the confidence
OF the commons, the direct representa-
tives and real governing power Of Eng
land. This is in fact more Of a republic
can government under a monarchy than
has the United States under the forms
OF a republic. In the long and useful
career of the grand old commoner' in
the commons, no matter what large sums
the exigencies Of wal would demand, he
held to the principle of 'PAY AS YOU co."
The estimates were made and taxes lev
led to cover them, large sums being col
lected from income and other taxes on
the wealthy. We can thus point to old
England for lessons in government.

to meet with corresponding favor in the
senate.
