THE U. S. MONETARY LEAGUE.

THE U. S. MONETARY LEAGUE.
In 1905, the above named put forth
circular whose truths should be ell
graved upon the minds and hearts of
every citizen whose soul is above
mere sordid selhshness, Or blind par
tisanship.
We quo'' only portion of the cir
cular. II on would read it all, write
to Jcs. Stephens, Denver, Colo
rado, Sc .ary of the League.
Many of us refused to go with the
Republican party when it abandoned
its principles declared in many cam
pai@ns and went to the gold stand
ard. Then we joined the Democracy
because 1t stood firmly for the money
OF the Constitution, for the coinage
and Use of both silver and gold as
standard money at the established ra-
ito, for bimetallism, and promised no
hope of relief to the suffering peo-
pie.
Now that the Democratic party has
also abandoned its principles and has
gone to the gold standard, we here
by declare that no party can nor shall
take us to the gold standard. We
firmly believe that the masses Of the
people will in time awake, the scales
fall from their eyes, and that they
will see as with the light cf the noon
day sun, that the omnipresent, coher-
ent power of organized robbery is
under and by and through the ma
tional banking system, which, togeth-
er with the gold standard, is the
source and power of this longtime
looting and graft, which have been
growing and taking deeper and deep
er root among us for many years.
When the people awake they will
shake off these parasites, who, as Of
fcials, party managers and grafters,
national bankers, trust magnates and
captains Of industry" all over the
country, are pauperizing the people.
Both parties are now financed from
the same source, Wall Street, why
should not each vie with the other in
serving its masterP If there is any
difference between the two parties it
is simply in the spelling of the name,
to fool the people little longer.
Tariff is no line Of demarkation,
for Republicans and Democrats alike
are for tariff or free trade when it
suits the advantages of their local
ity
There are many yet living who
were in active life before the war Of
1861 to 1855, who can readily recall
that the leading political question for
years was tariff and free trade; that
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-11-07

poses, but who ever then heard of a
trust9 There were none; no gigantic
combinations of capital which could
create or destroy trade and commerce
at will. Why? Because there was no
law then by which money, the life
blood Of the nation, could be issued,
manipulated and controlled by a ia
vored few. The vast interest sums
received in this way by the national
bank oligarchs have piled up great
fortunes, and is the lever which has
started and made possible other sre-
cial privileges and other vast trusts,
until nearly every legislature, gov
ernor; congress, President and court,
IS under the malign influence of these
conspirators against liberty and JUS
tice, who have their paid attorneys
and lobbyists everywhere.
There is no one thing hut the
Money Question" which could be
clear-cut and distinct, dividing line
for parties. Opposed, which now
both parties espouse and uphold, is
the national bank money system, the
most dangerous trust of all, and the
head and source Cf all trusts of the
country. They feed, thrive and fat
ten on the vast sums Of interest flch-
ed from the people on bonds issued
and debts kept as a basis for this
bastard money, which, instead, should
be issued direct by the government,
be full, legal tender, real money, no
interest paid to anybody. Stop this
national bank system and the head
would be cut off the whole crop of
Especial privilege" infamies which
have grown into trusts, which would
soon decay and die Making and is
sning money is a government func-
tlon, and Congress has no right to
farm out to the banks, nor the admin
istration to deposit with favored
banks large sums fof long time, for
which they pay not one cent.
Restore the money of the Constitu-
ton: then the Dollar Of our Daddies
would soon become the world dollar:
American ships would then carry
American money. American goods and
American trade and commerce into
every port of the world: and this
would be the conquest Of peace.
All except the hide-bound parti-
sans can see there is no difference now
between Tie two leading parties.
The organized effort of pIutccracy
to control the press of the country

he displayed most beautiful fortitude.
He was told he must die, and replied:
II am resigned to my Fathers

ed his sweet spirit to the God who
gave it. His pall-bearers were Gem
eral Bragg, General McCown, Chit
ton, Lee cf the Navy, Commodore
Lawton, Forrest, and General George
W. Reid. President Davis sat at the
head of his casket, with look OF
grief inexpressible.
General Braxton Bragg served with
also accompanied Colonel Albert Sid
ney Johnston on his Utah expedition
on January 3, 1856. He received a
commission Of Major General from
President Davis, and was put in COM
mand at Pensacola. General Bragg
was a strict disciplinarian, which
caused hlm to have enemies among
the soldiers. He was blamed for
the fall OF Wilmington, though his
friends attribute the loss Of that
place to the fact that he came into
unpleasant collision with interests
and persons whose feelings could not,
IN the nature Of things, be other than
lnlmlcal to him. When all was over.
he quietly retired to his home in
Alabama. No braver man ever lived
than BraxtOn Bragg.
Major General John B. Hood
served on the frontiers of Texas in
1855, also in California with Albert
Sidney Johnston and Robert Z. Lee.
He was wounded in a fight with the
Indians; March 3, 1862, was made
General. He was noted for daring
and skill in all his movements. Aft
er his retreat from Nashville, he took
leave of his army as follows: "Sol--
diers, at my request / have been re-
Ieved from tile command Of the
Army Of Tennessee. In taking leave,
accept my thanks for the patience
with which you have endured your
hardships during the recent caul-

ried Miss Hennon, a great grand
daughter Of the pioneer General
James Robertson. With his lovely
wife and four children, he died of
yellow fever in New Orleans.

reading it, General Jackson replied:
General Lee should have given the
glory to Gcd." After the memorable
battle Of Charlottesville, it was sup
posed by many that the brilliant move
ments originated in the great mind of
Lee, and were only executed by Jack

cessful maneuver.
General Albert Sidney Johnston
commanded the famous retreat from
Nashville after the fall Of Fort Dom
elson. At the terrible battle Of Shi-
lob he was killed. A mimic ball cut
the artery of his leg; still he rode
until from the loss of blood he fell
exhausted into the arms of Governor
Isham G. Harris. Stimulants weres
administered by loving comrades, hut
all in vain. His last words were:
Governor, believe I am seriously
wounded" He became totally un-
conscious. He quietly breathed his
last April 6, 1852. His remains were
conveyed to New Orleans, where they
lay in state in the Mayors office. la
dies brought magnolias and other
beautiful flowers, which encircled
the casket. His son was on the staff
Of President Davis.
Major General Joseph E. John
ston, after the secession of Virgin
la, received a commission from Pres
ident Davis as Major General, and
proceeded to take command at Har-
per's Ferry. Early in February,
1862, he made stirring speech to the
soldiers on the re-enlistment question.
General Johnston was truly scien-
tific general. In regard, to the sur
render he said to his countrymen:
"We of the South referred the ones
tion at issue between ms and the
United States to the arbitration of
the sword. 1t is against us; we must
acquisce in that decision; accert it
as final, ard recognize the fact that
Virginia is again one Of these United
States. Our duties and interests CO.

General Ambrose Powell Hill was
a Virgirian by birth. He was pro-
NOTED, after great gallantry. to Ma
jor General, on the 25th of June.
1862. He was one of the Council of
War held in Richmond. In every
engagement in which be participated
during the whole war, nothing but
praise was awarded him. During an
attack around Petersburg, in trying
to rally his troops, he fell pierced by
three bullets. His body was buried
by his loved comrades next day. He
was brave, true and honorable.
