Greenland's Solitary PAPER.

From Greenland's icy mountains
comes to Chicago a stray copy of the
only newspaper published in that far
northern country, and it is a some
what unique print. The publisher is
John Moeller of Goodthab. His paper
is issued twice a month. At first its
single pictures contained nothing but
crude pictures, but when Mr.. Moeller
had taught the masses to read he
began to print news and editorial ar
ticles. He does all the work of the
office. The press used by Moeller is
one Of the old-fashioned Washington
hand presses. But one page can be
printed at n time, and the type has to
be linked by hand after each impress
sion. This. however, does not bother
Mr.. Moeller very much, as his paper
rarely contains more than one page.
Once printed, the paper must be dis
tributed among the subscribers, and as
there are no trains in Greenland, Mr..
Moeller straps on his skates and pro-
ceeds to distribute the paper himself.
He makes great speed over the ice,
and soon has the entire circulation
out, though to reach his most distant
subscriber he must skate 100 miles.

'U~ndoubtedly congress will be urged
to consider the question of franchises
in Porto Rico and the Philippines very
early IN the session, as it is a matter
of no small import;u ce from a practical
point Of view. The granting of fran
chises in Porto Rico will be of material
benefit to the island, and there is rea-
son to expect that in the near future
there will be a demand for franchises
in the Philippines involving a very
large mount Of capital."-Republican

can bet your sweet life On that propo-
sition. "The granting of franchises in
Porto Rico will be of material benefit

capital? Why, the spectators who are
controlling Mckinley, while he engi-
neers this war. The war that was to
add new glory to the flag" is changed
to adding new profits to the corpora
tions. The war for the spread of the
gospel has become a war to enable
spectators to gobble up profitable
franchises. There is no hope of peace
until congress opens the flood gates Of
corruption and allows m%illionaires to
plumber the innocent. When Rockefel-
Ter, Hanna, Morgan and Brother Abner
get hold of all the franchises of our
new possessions, the %plundered natives
will pray for the return of their Span
ish oppressors. Sweet peace will only
come to the Filipinos when they have
nothing left to steal.

PUTS IT VERY PLAIN.
ALTCELD'S CONDENSED PLEA
FOR FREE SILVER.
In Two Sentences the Ex-Governor Sums
Up the Whole Question at Issue
The Producer Robbed Of His Prod
ucts-The Farmer and the Trusts.

In his recent Labor Gay speech en-
Gov. Altgeld said many sensible
things, but nothing more pregnant
with the truth than this:
The battle for bimetallism is the
battle of the producers by which they
hope to get a more equitable share Of
:he products Of their toll. The battle
ssainst bimetallism is the battle of the
h~on-producers to keep down the prices
OF the products of the producer"
That is the whole free-coinage ques-
ton in a nutshell. The great teacher
went on: by stealth and by fraud one
OF the money metals OF the world was
demonetlzed by governmental action;
not by commerce, not by the industries
Snd enterprises of the world, but by the
strong arm of the government. welded
by chlcane and the greed of the world.
AS the result of this act the worlds vol
ume OF actual money was gradually re-
duced by nearly one-half: and, as the
worlds volume of money tends to de-
termine the selling price of property,
II follows that the property of the
world, and particularly farms and farm
products. fell in the selling price by
nearly one-half, while the debts and
hXed charges remained the same. And
ever today, when We are told that the
farmer is prosperous, he is selling his
products for just about one-half what
he formerly got. This determines his
purchasing power and OF necessity de-
termines his social status. BY reducing
MS purchasing power to about one-half
what 1t formerly was, by depriving him
OF his ability to buy at the factory and
at the store as he formerly did, the
great American market has been de-
stroyed to a large extent, and we are
looking abroad in foreign lands for
markets for our goods, when We word
n a greater market than we could
possibly supply right at home if we
would again restore the farmers pur-
chasing power to what it would be If
the worlds prices Of products were
fixed by a volume Of money; consisting
OF both metals, instead Of being fixed
by d volume Of money consisting Of
only one metal.
AT present the farmer has to pay
trust prices-that is, prices arbitrarily
made high by monopolies-for every
thing that he buys; but he has to sell
his products not only in the open mar
ket Of the world. but he has to sell
them on a single gold standard value,
which is only about one-half as high
as a bimetallic standard of value would
be. This great wrong having been
done to all property-owners and to all
debtors by government, must be un-
done by government; and, inasmuch
as the powerful moneyed classes of the
country are opposed to having the gov
eminent right this great wrong. we
must have a political party with suffi-
cient moral courage and sufficient de-
votion to the cause of Justice to carry
out this reform without the aid of the
mOneyed classes"

What Man Has Made OF Man.

| heard a thousand blended notes.
While in a grove | safe reclincd
In that sweet mood when pleasant
thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me
ran,
And much it gricved my heart to
What man has made Of man.
Through primrose tufts, in hat green
bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreathes,
And It's my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.
The birds around me hoped and
played,
Their thoughts l cannot measure;
But the least motion which they made,
1t seemed a thrill OF pleasure.
The budding twigs spread out their
fan
To catch the breezy air;
And l must think, do all l can,
That there was pleasure there.
II this belief from heaven was sent,
If such be Natures holy plan,
Have not reason to lament
What man has made Of man?

Again. the fierce commercialism OF
the age. which has tended to enthrone
the dollar and enslave the man, has
lowered the standards and has COW
cred the land with corruption until
corrupt concentrations Of money WELD
ed by INSCRIPTIONS men. have acquired
such a complete control of the gov
ernments. national. state and munich
pal, that the people are almost helpless.
Laws destructive to their interests are
passed through bribery. and laws nee
essary for their protection are kept off
the statute book by bribery. To meet
this new and unfortunate condition it
is necessary that the people be given
the power. in certain emergencies. to
iegislate direCt-either by a popular
vote to put specific acts upon the stat
ute book or to declare certain specific
acts already on the statute book to be
null and void. This would destroy the
business Of bribery, because it would
render the fruits of bribery worthless.
No corporation would buy a legislature
O.: a city council If the acts of that leg
islature or council could be nullitied by
he people.-Altgeld.

There is a set of men who call them
selves "practical" who are a lead
weight in the car of progress. They
are continually retiring like bats into
mental holes so tight hat the light
cannot strike them. They are the great
upholders Of the Existing Order. They
call themselves conservators Of soci-
ETY.. They are conservators of all the
r~ottenness there is in society. They are
now, always have been. and always
will be, letters on the development OF
men. They have. in all ages, when
they had opportunity and power, burned
hanged or imprisoned or thrown to
wild beasts, or tortured in a hundred
ingenious ways. the apostles OF liberty
and justice.-Bayonet.

The newspapers which are denounc-
ing the workingmen's boycott at Cleve-
land as brutal, dangerous, inhuman,
etc, have no words of condemnation
for the blacklist of the employer; nor
against a boycott when used by a cor
poration. The Standard Oh company
has used the boycott for years, forti-
fled by special legislation. Only a few
weeks ago it refused to renew it's on
tract to supply Russell Sage's gas com
pany with Oil. because he had reduced
rates in competing with a Standard
Oil gas company, and in order to OBJ
tain the oil needed in the manufacture
of gas he was compelled to restore the
old rates. But the monopolistic pa
pcrs were very careful not to condemn
that boycott; it favored a corporation.

Altgeld for ]. a. X.

In some countries of the world thew
have long had a system of this kind.
They call it initiative and referendum,
meaning that the people shall in GER
tain emergencies have the power to in
itiate legislation and shall have the
power to have legislation that already
exists referred to a vote Of the people.
This system has worked marvelously
well where it has been tried, and we
must have a political party in Our
country with sufficient devotion to free
institutions and republican government
to establish it here. 1t is not a aues-
ton to speculate about. 1t is not a
chimerical idea; it is simply Il ques-
ton OF self-preservation.-Altgeld.

Influences are at work with a view
of demonstrating that the election Of
Judge Shackleford in the Eighth Mis-
souri, congressional district is a vindi-
cation of some new-found Democratic
gospel and it's sponsors. AS a matter OF
fact, the campaign was fought out on
the old lines. Here is the full ext of
the official campaign letter sent to
each voter in the district-Democratic,
by the chairmen of the congressional!
and state committees:
The result Of the election to be held
in this district Aug. 20 is made doubly
important by the fact that it is re-
garded by both the great parties as
the opening engagement Of the great
battle Of 1900. The contest rises above
all personal considerations. The nom
inee of the Democratic party stands for
the restoration of silver coinage, against
the further increase of the national
debt by the substitution of national
bank currency for the present green
back circulation; against a big standing
army, which the imperialistic policy Of
the present Republican administration
makes necessary, and against the dan
gerous aggregation of trusts which
have reached such startling proper
tons under the protecting influence of
Hannaism. The Republican nominee in
this contest is the avowed advocate OF
the single gold standard, and If elected
to congress will vote with his party
not only against restoring silver to its
coinage rights, but also to wipe out
the present greenback circulation and
substitute for it national bank cur
rency by which a interest-bearing
debt will be substituted for a popular
currency which entails no burden upon
the people. The Republican nominee
also stands for the imperialistic policy
OF President Mckinley. which has for
it's purpose the establishment Of colo
NAL dependencies similar to those of
Great Britain, a policy which entails 4
constantly increasing standing army
and completely reverses the principles
upon which the American republic was
founded"
The above should settle the contro-
versy over the lines on which the bat
tie was fought and the victory won.
All the speakers followed the ~instruc-
tons to keep the money issue to the
front. The so-called Populist candi-
date was what We call a middle-of-the-
roader. That brand Of Populists are
against silver. They bear no relation
to the Kansas-Nebraska Populists. The
regular Populists of the Eighth district

yer and fusion, and nobody can make
anything else out of it.-Press Bulletin.

MOnOpOlies Ridden.

Of all the experimentation conn
ties in California. l am persuaded that
Kern county is the worst. One COM
pany owns all the water and the major
portion Of the land upon which the
people are living. The company has
400, 900 acres, and a larger portion of
all hat is under cultivation. When
the people want water a conversation
something like the following ensues
People-Whose water is this?
Company-This is our water.
P.-What! All the water in the
river?
C.-Yes, of course; this is all ours.
Pillow came it all to be yours?
C.--Why, we claim it!
P.-But you do rot need it all, and
we do. How can we get it?
C.-By working on the land and
growing grain and raising live stock
with which to pay for it.
P.-Well, then, we will go to work;
and what will you charge us for water
on this piece of land?
C.-Ah, but this is our land!
P.-What! All this land where the
bitches are?
C.-Yes. certainly. Why should we
run our bitches and our water off our
own land?
P.-To be sure. Well, how did you
get all this land?
C.-Why, we bought it, of course.
You do not think that a respectable
company would steal it, do you?
P.-Well, no, we did not think so;
but how did you get the money?
Give sold the water which we
claimed and bought it.
P.-But you canno use al of it; o
do you need it all. Cannot we have
some land upon which to grow the
grain with which to buy water?
C.-Yes, indeed, you can have all
you want. We will rent it to you and
sell to you the water and take the
grain and the live stock which you
raise and buy more land to rem and
build more bitches to carry water
which We will sell to other farmers
who will go and do as these faithful
farmers are doing. Why, if it were
not for the company the farmers would
have no water and nc land and would
starve. Blessed be the name of the
company!-Class Struggle.

Pet Folly OF Trust Promoters.

From the Cleveland Leader: A pub
lished statement made by one of the
promoters OF the trust which is being
formed by the glove manufacturers of
the United States contains a striking
illustration of the fatuous notion upon
which the men who create such big
combinations base their hopes on great
profits. 1t is another avowal Of the
purpose of the trusts to get along with
one travelling salesman, when fifty
were used under the old conditions.
Imagine one salesman, representing a
complete monopoly, visiting a town to
sell gloves, where ten or twenty sales
men go with the same line of mer-
chandise now. He would never be able
to escape the deadening effect OF the
consciousness hat he had no competi-
ton. So the easy-going dealers who
sold gloves at retail would let their
stocks run low because they would be
under no pressure to increase them.
They would not carry stock enough to
make them carr about reducing it. All
special efforts to stimulate business
would be made in lines showing more

In 1867 u total interest-bearing
debt was $2,249. 9OS, O67. At that tine
it could have been paid with 3,OOO,-
0OO, 900 bushels of corn, at prices then
prevailing. Today the amount Is cut
down to about $3.50, 900, 900, but at pres
ent prices it would take 5000, 00O, 900
bushels of corn to pay it. So that
virtually we owe 1000, OOO, 900 bushels
more corn than we did thirty years
ago. Therefore all the money that
has been paid (about $4,000, 0OO, OOO) as
