Beyond question the need ia great.
On the one hand, civilization which

THE BLIND MADE TO SEE.

How can men, so sharp-sightcd in
many things, be so purblind 10 the
evils and dangers of gold monopoly and
the silver decentralization act of 1873.
which makes that monopoly possible,
and which. in conjunction with the ma
tional bank act and the act imposing a
ten per cent. tax on the issues of all
State banks, creates the great money
trust and monopoly, without which all
other monopolies that are at once de-
stroyng free competition in business
and striking down all liberty, personal,
political, or other, could not exist?
Are you really so blind, friend? DO
you not see the baleful network and
confederation of evil devices that en-
mesh and rob us all. even of our libcr-.
ties? For who is free. if all the voca
tions of life are closed TO him? Or he
can gain admission only by submission
to monopoly and its terms? DO YOU not
see, as monopoly contracts it's folds
around you and the community, that
there is no liberty without free compc-
tition? Competition. indeed. has its
evils, as lie ana llDcfly themselves
have theirs; but if men are deprived of
competition in work. trade. business
and enterprise, freedom deS,-smoth-
cred, asphiXiated by monopoly; and
this happens. whether you see it or not:
and it happens TO you. also, as to
others, whether you favor or oppose
monopoly, it making no distinction OF
victms-all are fish that come to It's
net.
Look at the National Banking Act OF
February %, 1868. This gave the Ma
tional banks (so-called only because
authorized by an act of Congress) tho
entire monopoly of paper currency. ex-
cept Treasury issues; and every with
drawal of Treasury notes from circula-
tion has increased ana intensified this
monopoly, as Federal tax of ten per
cent. is imposed on all paper Issues OF
State banks-tantamount TO q prohibit

CRIMINAL DISCRIMINATION.

tenn now enforced by this and former

| tem is temporary" and resting wholly
on n friendly administratio ion, appar-
emily forgetting that no system estab-
lishcd merely by act Of Congress can
he permanent" as it can be repealed
by another act: or another system can
be temporarily established by the same
power. But beyond the confession that
the present gold-sysiem is temporary"
ana may be superseded by mere
change of administration, is the further
confession that this system is illegal.
without even the authority an act of
Congress can give 1t: for if it were
lawful. no change in administration
could affect ii. without further lcgisla-
ton
