ROCKY MOUNTAIN ANeMoNE.

Dainty. blue anemone,
Hiding or the mountain stair,
Where the sunshine lovingly
Falls in spleEdor rich and rare.
Dainty, blue anemone,
Hiding by the mountain way,
Gazing upward modestly
Like a nun about to pray.
Founding of the sun and dew,
Child of mist and purple morn,
Lifting eyes of sweetest blue
From the bed where you were born.
Dainty. blue anemone.
Pressing close to Natures heart.
On the wide-swept, upland lea,
Where the waving grasses part
Lift to me your tender face,
Little nun of azure eyes,
Grant me just the fieeting grace
That within them deeply lies =
Satin, gray and flmy mist,
Wrap this maiden tenderly.
Whom the mountain dew has kissed
Dainty, blue anemone.

A Strange Message to Lovers of Liberty.

From The Commoner.
Rev. Herman D. Vanbroekhuizen, clerical
representative of the South African republic in
the United States, recently arrived IN Baltimore.
After describing the terrible damage that had
been done in the South American republics,
Mr.. Van Broekhusei said:
"When l left President Kruger in Holland,
and asked him for message to the people of
the United States, h. said
"Just tell them they are helping to murder
u.s.
''He referred to the shipment of supplies to
the British
This is the first instance in history where
message of this character has beef sent to the
United States by people struggling for re-
publican form of government.
Is it not about time for the American people
to consider, in all sincerity and conscience, the
character of heir attitude toward the brave re-
publicans of South Africa?
Is il not hu,niliating to have such message
as this come from President Kruger to the
American people, particularly when we know
that the indictment is true?

Going to Quit Talking.

Chauncy Depew says is going to quit being
inerviewed but before he "quit," he said,
speaking of the big strike
"ll is impossible to discuss the great strike
intelligently at this distance, but the present
thing to note is the prosperity of American
MANUFACTURERS The fact is that American
prosperity is now so great that nothing but a
revolution could stop it, and nothing can pro-
duce revolution"
Chauncy should not be so sure that nothing
can produce revolution. We are not so sure
that the present bis strike is not the beginning
OF revolution.

Public Ownership.
Central Farmer. Omaha.


The steel strike is still on. Hanna was con.
suited as the oracle for arbitration and it looks
very much as if he cannot control Comrade
Morgan as easily as he can tomrade Mckinley.
Mr.. Morgan has proposed certain conditions to
representatives of the unions, but the bone of
contention is that Mr.. Morgan proposes to open
mills and employ union or non-union men in all
mills. This would mean, in effect, to dis.
unionize all mills, and would be great blow
to organized labor. If Mr.. Morgan wins this
point, the doom of the union factory will be
sealed forever
1t is sad to think of the many families in
distress by the strike. 1t will be far worse if
corporation methods are allowed to continue
many years. The people who suffer from this
system are, in part, responsible for the system
which delegates the power of the people to
chosen few If this strike continues any length
of time, and Mr. Morgan wins, it will mean
that Mr. Morgan has given The public an object
lessou which teaches the need of public owner.

The national banks of Kansas City, with
capital of FIVE and quarter million doiiafs'
bought nine million dollars worth of stocks,
bonds, etc., and drew interest on $3I 900, 900.
The above will give our readers faint idea
of bankers methods and, also, the tact Is
demonstrated that the theory of the Populist
party as to money is not only correct, but the
only safe remedy for the commercial evils OF
panics and bankruptcy.
The demand of the Populist party for enough
of real money to do the business OF the coun'
try on a cash basis, and that the national gov
ernment issue and control the volume OF cur
rency, appeals to the wisdom and horse sense OF
not only business men, but also the common
people.
aglee with Albert Griffin in disclaiming any
animosity toward bankers as mer, or their BUS
iness, when so conducted as to render society
real service, but we cannot shut oul eyes to the
fact that hocus-pocus money is a menace to
every form of business and industry in which
men engage that is Legitimate or needed III CIV
iized society.
1t is matter of history, known to onr school
boys, that civilized countries have their period
ical panics. 1t may not be known TO many OF
our common people that some of those panlcs
were deliberate ly preciptated by men who were
in position to pull the necessary strings, and
who pulled to leap golden harvest of wealth:
do not say that all panics are deliberately
precipitated l would be slow to believe that
all bankers were so dishonest as to deliberately
jeopardize the belongings of the men who
trusted in their honor to make good the depos-
its that have ns other security than the nteg-
rity of the bankers. We see things as they are,
and we desire to have things they ought to
be; and in this desire, we must insist that no
class of men shall have the power to wreck the
fortunes of other men, not even down to one
citizen, and he the lowest and most contempti-
BILE of all the members of society.
Sometimes, panics come unbidden by even
the few, but they are none the less disastrous.
Bubbles may burst at any time. AT best, there
is only thin substance of matter surr 'urding
the globule of air. A slight pressure from the
outside liberates the imprisoned gas, and the
whole thing vanishes.

A Campaign Story.

The gold element of the Democratic party is
now trying to control the party and any Demo-
crat who raises an objection is accused of dis
turbing The harmony of the party. One is
reminded of the boy who was PLAYING with the
cat. His mother said, Tommy, stop pulling
the cats tall He replied: 81 am not pull
ing the cats tail. l am just holding to the
tail; The cat IS doing the pulling" We are
just holding to the Kansas City platform-the
gold bugs are doing the pulling and disturbing
the harmony of the party.-The Commoner

10 McDILL'S MUSINGS.
HOCUS.POCUS.

HOCUS.POCUS.
Several very instructive articles have appear
ed in the Farmers Advocate on "Real and
Hocus- Poems Money!" by Albert Griffin. The
showing is that the Republican party's promise
to make every dollar as good as every other
dollar is not true.
With Republicans, the dollar business is like
the trust business or the prosperity business.
The mass of people are not in it.
Briefly shall endeavor to condense the arti,
ces referred to-. Generally, the arrangement
of words is mine.
Money is medium of exchange, and every
thing used for that purpose is money, no matter
whether it be coin or paper or credit on bank
books. When the volume Of money increases
faster than the volume of business, the demand
tor services of all kinds increases, every kind
OF business increases, and values and prices
tend upward
"Business interests require stable currency
approximately ascertainabe, and spectators
should never be able to materially increase or
decrease the quantity for private profit"
To men who have studied the money ques-
.lion, Grifin's teaching is absolutely correct,
and, if correct, the further showing is that
lnoney conditions, as they now exist, or as they
existed prior TO the several great pauics of the
last century, are, and were. all wrong, and in
uhe wind-up, baukrupted more honest people
ahan war, famine or pestilence.
Griffin shows that the disturbing factor" is
hocus pocus money.
According to the comptrollers of 1896 and
1901, the volume of real money increased from
$2I to $28 per capita. Hocus-poc money, in
the same period, has just about doubled. The
''dsturbing element" has grown to immense
proportions, and, like hungry hound, it is
grabbing for more.
shall give G-iffin's definition of hocus.pocus
money in full:
"Hocus-pocus money is fictitious bank capi-
tai loaned as money. That is it is their com.
mercial loans in excess of their loanable capital.
To ascertain the amount of locus- s-pocus, add
capital, surplus, undivided profits and national
bank notes. Subtract the sum ot bonds, stocks,
real estate loans on real estate and S per cent
IeOeU0pt1Ou uC lCiiIdiiIeCI ID available
for commercial loans, and every dollar in excess
of the remainder, loaned by bank for the
bank, is fictitious and doubc-geared hocus.
pocus."
The banks, state and national, in Kansas,
i'll the month of February, 1901, with only
81 900, 900 of loanable capital, loaned SAT ,ooo,.
900. On the 5th of that same month, the
tiona banks OF New York had about IS, 900 900
available for commercial loans, and collected
interest on $633 700, 900. The principal bank
of the Standard Oil people loaned $88, 200, 900
of hocus-pocus, when it was $11 900, ,oco in
debt for property bargained for and not paid
Griffin further explodes the assumption that
the loans are deposits. He says:
cit is safe to say that nine-tenths of their
so-caled deposits consists simply of bankers
promises to pay money they have themselves
loaned to borrowers, which promises they ex-
pect to redeem by mere credits and debits.''
give one more illustration of the hocus-
pocus business:

INDEMNITY CLAIM
 AGAINST CHINESE
Il Has Been Decided That the Amount Will be 450,-
 100000 TaeI8

Pekin. May 9.-An indemnity claim of 45O 900 taels will be presented to the Chinese plenipotentiaries this evening" Official Chinese throughout the Empire have been communicating with the court and giving advice. Most of them seem to favor a loan guaranteed by the foreign powers. Others, prominent among whom is Chang Chi Tung, believe In raising the money without loan and in paying off the entire debt within five years.
 The court has considered methods of raising 20,0O0,000 extra annually and pro- yislonally approves the plan; but the Chinese plenipetentiaries have instruc- tions to obtain reduction of the indem- nifty demand as far as possible.
 Whatever the final demands of the powers may be, 1t Is not believed the opposition will be more than matter of form.
 The ministers of the powers met this morning and decided that the Chinese should be given to understand thorough ly that the amount did not constitute the claim, but was the total of the expenses, including private claims considered fair and was meant more to obtain an opinion from official sources as to China's abil- ity to pay. and also as to what means she would employ.
