FuIfiIIment Of LincoIn's Prophecy.

0uitttiStiI VI l-iiSSui . iSPiiSSy'
The concentration of wealth
against which President Lincoln
warned the people of the United
States, has been accomplished. There
are, as stated by competent statistical
authority, 12,690,15s families in the
United States whose aggregate wealth
wealth is sixty billion dollars, OF
which 4,047 families possess 70 per
cent, or as much as do all the other
families, and, according to Brooklyn
statistlcian, the average annual
income of the one hundred richest
men in America is about 81, 200, 900
each. Since the assassination of
President Lincoln, by connivance of
the money power, the wealth of the
nation has been SO concentrated that
one-sixth of the population practi-
cally own the entire country. The
remainder of the people produce all
the wealth, pay all the taxes and
support the few idlers in splendid
elegance though having the power to
exterminate the drones who have
usurped all the powers of govern
ment Why this intolerable sub.
servience of the toiling masses? With
right use of the ballot all tyranny
of wealth can be destroyed. The hire
lings who misrepresent the people in
the legislature and in congress must
be driven from office. Drop your
party prejudice and vote for liberty
and home In party slavery all
manhood is sunk. 1t debases the
home and pauperizes posterity. The
meanestscowardice leads to partyism.

in the face and spurn its bribe. Show
yourself father worthy of imitation
by splitting upon the professional

Mexican Dollars.

If it is true that the government is
going to pay it's soldiers sent to the
Philippines in Mexican dollars, be
cause these will buy more there thar
United States coins, what becomes Of
the gold standard theory of sin
trinsic valueY''
But even if it is not true that the
government is going to take advan
tage of the fact that Mexican dollars
are worth more than American
dollars in the Philippines, the fact
about the difference in value still
remains.
And this fact explains why silver
using countries have the advantage
of gold standard countries in the
matter of trade.
Traders in the Philippines and in
China can buy their goods there,
ship them to this country, sell them
for our silver dollars and exchange
this money for Mexican dollars,
making a hundred per cent profit on
the difference in value of the money
alone, to say nothing of the legiti-
mate profit on the goods.
So far as the tariff is concerned, it
is completely wiped out by the en-
HANGED value of the Mexican dollars,
and no gold using country can COM
pete in this kind of business.
Silver-using countries are notably
prosperous, while trade is depressed
in gold-using countries. The condi-
lions presented in the Philippines
offer one explanation of this marked
phenomenon. Chicago Dispatch.
