The National Bank Law.

Mr. Chase was Secretary of the Treas.
ury in Lincoln's Cabinet, when the
National Bank law was passed, and gave
bis consent very reluctantly, and after
much bulldozing by the bankers, to the
measure. Years afterward he is reported
to have said
my agency in procuring the passage
of the National Bank Act was the greatest
financial mistake of my life. 1t has bull,
up money monopoly that affects every
interest in the country. 1t should be
repealed. But before this can be accom-.
plished, the people will be arrayed on
one side and the banks on the other in a
contest such as we have neyer seen in
this country"
We are now entering on the eve of that
contest. 1t has been fight on the skirm-
ish line through this contest of thirty
years. The banks believe by their last
Act, which they call the gold standard,
that they have fortified themselves in an
impregnabie position where their power
cannot be successfully assailed. The far
sighted amoug them believe that Bryan
will be elected the next President, and a
House Of Representatives that will concur
with him and reflect the will of the peo-
pie on the currency question" They
believe they can hold the Senate through
Bryan's administration and prevent the
repeal of their paper trust gold basis Act.
They trust in the power of money to
corrupt legislation and the ballot, while
they draw tighter and tighter their cords
about the people and bind every business
in the country till it lies helpless in their
power
This is the history of the money power
which the people of these United States
are now facing in death struggle.
The farmers have been almost DESTROYED
by the money trusts policy of low prices
and credit drawing interest in place Of
money with which to transact business
All the wealth which industry creates is
drawn into the bank Golfers, save a bare
living for the producers and small sum
for the purpose of sufficient recreation to
keep the masses from rising up in wrath,
hurting their oppressors from power and
oyerturning the tables OF the money
changers.

Pauper Labor.

Republican newspapers have consumed
tons of paper dilating on the danger of
"pauper labor" in competition with the
labor of freeborn Americans, and political
demagogues have talked themselves
hoarse in presenting the bug-a-boo to our
noble American citizen. For years this
was one of their strongest points in driv-
ing home the economic merits of the
Mckinley tariff and the Dingley tariff.
AS matter of demonstrated fact the
whole argument is an arrant humbug; a
price of cheap demsgogy.
Take the sugar interest for instance.
Cane sugar is produced by the cheapest
labor and in climate congenial to the
growth Of sugar cane, yet the product Of
cane sugar i'll the last twenty years has
steadily fallen behind the production OF
beet sugar. In 1898 there was three times
as much beet sugar produced as cane.
Cane sugar is produced by the cheapest
and most ignorant class of labor, while
beet sugar is produced by the most intel
ligent class of labor.
Again, turn to manufactures that are
being exported from the United States
and sold in foreign countries where the
stump orator and Republican newspaper
have pictured to the quaking laboring
man his certain doom if he attempted TO
compete with "pauper' foreign labor.
Billions of dollars worth of manufactured
articles are shipped from this country and
sold i'll the markets Of the old world in
competition with those DOGGY, pauper
labor products, right at their very DOORS
What humbug and false cry of wolf
the laboring men of this country have
been buncoed with while the high tariffs,
which were for the purpose of protecting
them and their wages, were building up
trusts to rob them and dictate terms on
which they might work.
Intelligent labor will beat ignorant
labor always and everywhere The intel
ligent labor of the United States has
proven its ability to meet the competition
of even the cooley labor on the sugar
plantations of the tropics and the clumsy,
untaught labor of Europe in every f Id,
by producing superior article and in
larger quantities in the same time. The
Republican orators and newspaper s
scsre-crow of "pauper labor" is played
out. They must find new bogey-man.

Referring to the strike of the electric
linemen in Baltimore, the appeal says
"Whatever the cause, such troubles are to
be depiored."
"Deploring" is no remedy. Let Balti-
more city restore the franchise to the
people to whom it rightly belongs, Of
lighting the streets, running its railways,
etc., and there will be no strikes. An
ounce of preventive is worth pound Of
any kind of cure. Giving these public
utilities away to corporations is all wrong
and is the cause of most of the strikes,
directly or indirectly. The state and city
owning public utilities would humble the
aggressive spirit of industrial corporations
and curb their domineering spirit.
