Editor Representative: AS an evidence
Of the progress being made, and the
change of opinion taking place, l send
you communication from the pen of
an able lawyer in the city of Marquette.
He is a well-to-do, conservative men;
only few years ago he was an advocate
of the gold standard and was utterly
opposed to all 'isms. For obvious rea-
sons l withhold his name.
EDWIN D. COX.
Mr.. Edwin D. Cox, Marquette, Mich.
Dear Sir: In reply to your letter re-
questing my opinion concerning trusts,
would say: That l consider the money
trust the most dangerous of all trusts.
The trust that controls the volume of
money controls the prices of all COM
mOdities. This trust is the National
Banking (trust) association. The duly
accredited agent of the Rothschilds. J.
Pierpont Morgan is the head of the
trust. Every Is days circulars are sent
to every one of the 12,804 banks in the
country containing the policy they must
pursue, and this policy must be pur-
sued-as one banker of 30 years stand
ing told me:
I'VE will be smashed to H if we
fail to heed the dictates of the associa-
tion."
The dear people are congratulated on
the possession of cheap money, but
when it is understood that there is only
1868, ZIG, ,148 in the United States and
the bankers have issued nearly three
times that amount to the people, or
three times as much money as there is
in existence True, interest is low. only
six per cent, but six per cent in exist
ence is 18 per cent on all there is in
existence. How long can the commerce
and industry of the United states pay
to this trust $340, 900, 900 each year for
the use of money? Not long, as notice

A Farmer on Ship Subsidies.


To the Editor of the Chicago Chronicle:
ELGIN, Ill, March Elm my judg-
ment the agricultural interest OF the ma
tion are indebted to the Chronicle for
the stand it has taken on the ship SUBJ
sidy bill. Because the Farmers Ma
tional congress, so called, which met
recently in Colorado, registered it's ap-
prOval of the measure, farmers are being
quoted as in favor of the bill.
The Farmers congress does not rep
resent the agriculturists of the United
States any more that the Chicago board
of trade represents the Presbyterian
church. A very small percentage of it's
members are practical farmers. The
majority of them till the soil with their
mouths. The Farmers congress has no
constituency whatever, township, county
or state. It's members are appointed an
nually by the governors of the different
states. An overwhelming majority of
the real farmers of the country are radi-
cally opposed to the ship subsidy bill.
The National Grange and Farmers AL
lance, which has thousands of local or
ganizatiOns and hundreds of thousands
of members, at its recent annual meet
ing condemned this measure for the Sec
ond time as inimical to the interests of
farmers and all classes OF the people, ex-
cept coterie of already wealthy men.
The United States is pre- eminently an
agricultural country, yet with all the
special legislation, past, present and
proposed, agriculture has had to fight
its own way. with no stimulating finan-
cial pills or cordials from the national
treasury. The farming interest does
not repine at not being a favorfte child,
but it does claim that as all are of age
and able to earn their own victuals and
clothes the entire family should be
weaned.
II nothing but the enactment OF q new
law will bring happiness to our con-
gressmen and senator's, let them adopt
one establishing postal savings banks.

Sarah Flower Adams, the gifted wo-
man to whom all Christendom today
pays homage in its love for her immor-
tai hymn, Nearer My God, to Thee :"
writes Clifford Howard in the February
Ladies' Home Journal. 1T was written
in 1910. and had subsequently been set
to music by Eliza Flower and included
in a collection of hymns written and
composed by the two sisters. Only
within that year had their book Of
Hymns and Anthems been published.
and the hymn that was destined to in
spire the world had then been heard
but once or twice. and within the walls
of a single church-South Place chapel,
London.
'It was not, however, until after the
year 1860, when the present well known
tune was composed for it by Or. Lowell
Mason, of New York, that the hymn at
tanned it's widespread popularity Up
to that time it had attracted but little
notice. Through the spirit OF DIR. Ma
sons sympathetic music it was quicken
ed into glorious life and brought with
in the reach of every congregation and
every christian soul. But this was
long after the author of the hymn had
passed away. She died in 184S, without
knowing of the triumph and the glory
that awaited her work. Her grave in
the little village of her birth is unmark-

Danger. Of the Money Power.

E. A. TWitchell, Esq.
Editor Representatives. Somehow
feel to quote four lines from Epic Of
the Starry Heavens" in reference to Mr..
Donnelly, and feel, also, it may be in
touch with many another friend of his:
Still my spirit near thee fingers,
Brother of my heart, and still
Presses with immortal fingers,
Silently thy hand and will"
Eloquent and often inspired, his
great love for humanity could we'll atone
for an occasional rash word Good and

my Father and enter into the joy pre-
pared from the foundation of the world,
Shades of Ignatius! Amt S. M.
Fairchild after the money power! That
same that Donnelly called 1.-The most
cruel and heartless of all tyrants.
Emerson says it needs a heart Of steel
to fight down the proud. Certain it is
that nothing so alienates man from
man as money and it's manipulation.
Away with it," do you say? and
adopt Bellamy's plan. Or can it be re-
stricted solely to public use? And how
aggressive. When the repeal of the
Sherman law didn't progress fast
enough the edict was: Call in halt
your loans; retire one-third of your
capital. Make money short among
business men," And the ruin of more
than 800 national banks and thousands
OF business men proved true what Mich
olas Biddle, Depew and others assert,
viz: they could ruin any amount of
business and the nation. itself if it was
for their self-interest to do so.
Aggressive? Well! 1t reminds me of
the days Of the Border Ruffians." On
one occasion they had burned Leavens-
worth and not damned black Republi-
can dared to fire gum" There is ever
some fate to trip us when we strut, or

fore a fall, and naughty spirit before

Notice our own uP0er Peninsula Of
Michigan. More iron ore shipped in
1899 and 1900 than aeYer before in two
years, and no money in it. In 1899 our
best ore was sellinss On the dock at
Cleveland at 1915 1seM ton. When we
had $64 Of money per capita in the
United States this same ore sold at the
same place at 1880. and $14 per ton.
The ore is just as good; just as hard
work to get it out; just as much wanted,
but the dollar Is 80 scarce that when we
60 out to buy dollars with our ore, our
labor, our manufactures, or our products
we And the dollar too hard to get.
The trouble lies, not in the fact that
our ore real estate, labor, manufactures,
products, ETC., is going down; it's the
dollar under control of the money trust
going up; same as everything else the
production or existence of which is
controlled by a trust. Had l the knack
of writing for the press would show
this money trust up, or try to do so, at
least. That's the trust that is sucking
the very life blood out of this republic,
and the only way of crushing it, to put
it in few words, is this:
90 ~,
limited coinage of both gold and silver
at ratio of 16 to 1.
2. See how much gold and silver we
have on hand and have the United States
issue greenbacks to an amount which,
with the gold and silver we have, would
equal at least $50 per capita (France
now has about $50 per capita).
3. Make these greenbacks redeemable
on demand in either gold or silver, at
16 to / ratio, in bars or coin at pleasure
of United States, i. e: when greenbacks
are presented for redemption, pay them
in either metal, in bars or coins, as the
United States chooses or sees fit.
A. Abolish the entire national bank
ing system, wind them up SO they can
have no power or voice in controlling
the volume of money.
5. Keep the circulation of money up
to $50 per capita; maintain it at that
amount; increase the amount of money
to keep pace with the increase of pop
ulatiOn. Then prices would advance all

down we would in very few years
gather to us all thel spare cash in the
world. The people would be happy and
contented; they could procure for them
selves homes, they cannot do it now.
Thirty years ago seven out of every ten
householders owned their own homes,
now less than three out of every ten
own their own homes land it's getting
worse and worse.
One bad feature is: This money trust
controls the newspapers, that is, nine
tenths of them, at least. That's the
great difficulty. They will not loan
money to those who oppose their
schemes. Opposition to this trust is
crushed without money. No noise or
nonsense about it. It's done, and done
effectually.
This trust must be overthrown if we
are to remain a free people-that is, If
we are free now, which doubt-but we
want to be more free.

This may or may not be fact, but
several members OF the city council do
