the country is sadly in need Of relief

be no tariff reform and none Of the

BANKING TRUST.

Democrats should watch closely the
movements Of the financial schemes of
the caucus convention of the republican
house of representatives.
These foes to bimetallism and friends
of the money power have formulated
a plan so malign in its financial import
that the people may well be upon their
guard.
Ii is plainly evident that the republi.
can party proposes to pass laws in the
next congress making this county the
victim of gigantic money trust the
king of all trusts.
Let us see what these plotters against
the welfare of the people propose:
They propose, in the first place, to
impound all greenbacks by an amend
ment of the existing law.
They then propose to authorize all
national banks, big or little, to issue
and circulate bank notes up to their
par value of the bouds deposited with
the government TO secure such crcula-
ton, or even to the market value Of
such bonds.
In short, the bankers of the country
will be given power to control entirely
the volume Of paper money through the
volume of their bank credits.
Under this wonderful provision the
bankers can give us money if they want
to. They can retire their bank notes if
they want to. They can feed the coun.
try nutil it is fat, and then squeeze il
like a lemon, if they SO desire.
What these conspirators desire is the
granling to the banks the power to
contract or to expand the currency al
| pleasure.
This power would place prices at the
mercy ofthe banks, for the prices vary
with the volume of the currency.
Thus the banks in controlling the
volume of the currency would he the
absolute dictators of prices for all com.
modities. This is a mons;rous propo.i
tion, but it is the plan now contempla.
ted blythe republican party.
Are the people prepared to give over
the control Of the currency to the money
kings ard to takeit from the govern.
ment?
1t is incredible that such crime will
be allowed perpetration, but the people
must organize against the conspirators
they must protest with such Indignant
v,gor that the criminals will hesitate tc
push their infamous scheme and they
must hurl the republican party from
power or become the slaves of the bank
ing trust. Chicago Dispatch.

GOVERNMENT sosp | sAls.

IL it not significant that the govern.
ment, in. its solicitude for the Wall
street spectators, should always make
the people pay dearly for the assistance
extended this favored few? And is it
not also significantsthat, no matter how
hard the farming and laboring classes
have been pressed, however low were
prices of products and labor. however
difficult it was to avoid embarrassment
and ruin, the governments; was never
kind enough to offer a helping hand to
this class?
In all the bond transactions of the
government the spectators have made
willing at the expense Of the people,.
During MIR. Cleveland's s administra.
ton the Morgan Belmont syndicate
pocketed some 500, 100000 which of
right belonged to the people.
Mr.. McKinley's 500, 900, 900 bonds,
which we're sold at par, were worth pre-
MUM Of $l2, 2,OOo, 900 before they could
be delivered. The government should
have had the benefit Of this instead of
itsg going into the pockets Of the favored
few.
And SO in the recent purchase Of $685..
OO0, coo bonds by order Of Secretary
Gage, to incline the spectators of Wall
street. The government pays a premi-
.um Of So ,000, 600 in order to relieve the
embarrassment Of Wall street in this
time of confidence and prosperity,
When the government has bonds to sell
it asks no premium. When 1t buys it's
own bonds it pays handsomely for the
privilege.

Carl Elander, a young man of eighteen.
residing with his widowed mother, Mrs.
Louise Elander, 3114 Girard avenue south,
Minneapolis, skated into an airhole at
Lake Calhoun yesterday morning about
70 o'clock. and was drowned in about
forty feet Of water. The fifth precinct
police recovered the body within half an
hour after the accident occurred, and
physicians endeavored for two hours to
restore animation, but failed.
Elander left home yesterday morning
with companion to go skating at Lake
Calhoun. The lake was frozen over. with
the exception Of several large airholes in
the center.
Elander was skating backward when
the accident occurred, and skated right
into the airhole. He rose to the surface
and managed to get hold of the edge Of
the Ice and hang on for nearly fifteen
minutes, but the extreme cold water be-
numbed him, and he sank from sight be-
fore assistance could reach him.
The fifth precinct police were at once
telephoned, and Sergeant Pat Iinnehan
with Officers Gerrish, Hahn and Harmon
went to the lake with graphing hooks.
and within half ga hour the body was
brought to the surface. Elander was car
ried to the home Of A. c. Cross, Bill Cal
houn boulevard, where DR.. NJ. c. john
stoh worked in vain for two hours in an
attempt to obtain some sign of life.
Elander was employed in a grocery
store on Hennepin avenue, near Seventh
street. He has married brother also
residing with the mother. The funeral ar
engagements have not yet been made.
