All this fuss and noise about prosperity"
and national greatness is cut the drunken
yell OF the party slaves who obey their
bosses first, last and all the time, and un-
der all conditions and circumstances. 1t
is the dishonest yelp of fellows who fol-
low the band wagon for what they can
make out Of it. The fellows who switched
from free coinage to single gold standard
as soon as they read the newly made plat
form. The same fellows who never had
any convictions, and would not have the
courage to support them il they had. To
them it is gold standard and prosperity
because the party bosses say go. They
cursed Cleveland for opposing high pro-
tective tariffs. Tomorrow they would
favor free trade and the free coinage OF
lead If Mark Hanna but said the word.
These are the chaps who print republican
newspapers and pose as educators Of the
people and moulders OF a healthy public
sentiment. Bah They make us tired.
Talk Of an independent press! Go maui
rails for living. Be white man, if you
die in the trying. AS we'll steal horses
as to make your life living lie from the
sanctum to the neutrality-suspicious.

Who IL Lying?

The commercial reports say that there
is on deposit in the banks and trust com
panies Of New York the sum OF $l,811,
459, 400.
"On deposit" means that there is thai
much money deposited, and can bt
drawn out at any time on demand, does
it not?
Ii we deposite 81 900 in the bank today
it means that We can at once check il
out, and that our check will be duly
honoi ed on presentation, does it not?
1t means in other words, that there il
81 ,811 .495, 400 spot cash in these mon
eyed institutions Of New York City.
And that is what these moneyed institu
tons pretend in their official statements
to tho public and to the consumers.
Ia it true?
Let us see.
According to the official report Of the
United States treasury department, dated
August /, 1899, there is all told in the
United States, including all kinds o
money, coin and paper, the sum Of 49,,
PSI. 4G7 ,2I4, of which amount there il
1920 $50, 0l0 locked up in the United
States treasury, leaving balance Of ex
actly 81 ,931, liz, 205 in the entire United
States.
According to tho reports Of the New
York institution, therefore, there is only
$ll9,657, 1904 in the whole United States
outside OF New York City and the
United States treasury.
And yet the city OF Chicago alone re
ports over $500, 100000 con deposit" il
its banks. Philadelphia as much more
Boston as much more, with a hundred
other largo cities not counted. Now
what We want to know is, who is lying?
OF course, we can guess that thes'
high toned financiers OF New York hav'
no such amount Of cash on hand as the.
pretend. And that if every confiding de
positor, who imagines he has money "ol
deposit" should walk up tomorrow ant
demand his money, they could not &c
20 cents on the dollar.
The rest is all bank wind.
And such is the financial system OF ont
OF the greatest commercial nations in thu
world MOTIONS Monthly.

CHAPTER NV.
A SECRET No LONGER.

As the reader is aware, there was no
pursuit made after Rider and his COM
panion. The whole matter had been ar
ranged by Avery, who had seen a
would-be robber deceived in a similar
manner in his younger days, lie had
been awake through it all, and there
had been no intention to shoot the thief.
They had purposely aimed wide of the
mark
When he had disappeared they all in
dulged in hearty laugh at his discom-
future when he should discover the
fraud, then retired to rest with feel
ing of relief at the success of their
counterpart.
Freed from the necessity of watching
Bowers, they now redoubled their la
