BANKERS' PLAUSIBLE AN D SE
DUCTIVE ARGUMENT WEAK.
How tha Government Should Ita Itfillt-rad
of thi) Iturdcn of ISorruivlnii Until to
Support a FinaiiftUI Kjmtetu Tbat
. llcnefiu tha Itnuker Only.
The organization of national bankers
is already at work upon its financial
scheme, which it hopes to inflict upon
tin over-burdened. Buffering people by
undue influence with the incoming con-
Their plausible and ijeductivo argu
ment runs in this way: The govern
ment Is called upon to maintain a re
serve of $100,000,000 in gold, because
the government has issued legal ten
's ilrs to the extent of $340,000,000, which
V are redeemable in gold, and when re
deemed are again put out. The prac
tical working of such a system forces
' the government to issue bonds to main
tain the gold reserve; therefore, the
5346,000.000 legal tenders, or greebacks,
should be retired by issuing bonda for
them. The government would then no
longer bo required to keep gold on hand
for redemption purposes; the confidence
in business circles would be restored
and the cause of business depression
would be removed, says the Brockton,
. Mass., Diamond.
This is the argument from the side
of the banks. Incidentally, the banks
are to be authorized to issue their notes,
t based on these new bonds, and these
bank notes are to take the place of the
greenbacks, but ihtt bankers do not
uay so much about this.
That the government should bo re
lieved of the burden of borrowing gold
to support a financial system that bene
fits onJy t ho bunkers is a very merito
rious proposition; but the method ty
which it . to be accomplished, as sug
gested by this bunkers' association, in

THE WAY IT WORKS.
four hundred million dollars of money.
Sixteen hundred millions of their wind
is utilized by the wealth producers as
an exchange mndium, because there
isn't money enough issued by the gov
ernment for that purpose.
As an offset to the bankers' proposi
tion that the government legal tenders
should be retired, our populist con
gressmen should suggest that this re
serve of the national banks should be
made up of greenbacks. That wi!I not
only retire tho greenbacks, but It will
make them more valuable to the banks
than gold, and will send the gold now
held by the banks into circulation, be
cause for each dollar In greenbacks
held by a bank it could loan three dol
larsin some banks four dollars of
bankers' wind; and the loan of its wind
would be restricted to the amount of
greenbacks in issue, or the amount it
could corral. No greenbacks could be
spared to seek redemption In gold, be
cause it would be the symbol of four
wind dollars, each doing duty In tho
business of exchanging labor's products
and eah confldence wind dollar absorb
ing interest out of the wealth produc
tion. We nned not enumerate the many fa
vors enjoyed by the banks all of them
special privileges created by law. The
scheme they now propose Is merely an
other law in their interest. What we
propose is a law in the interest of the
people's rights.
We hope that congressmen who arc
true to tho peopln will not be content
with mere opposition to what the bank
ers propose. Meet them with a counter
proportion that will give additional
value to the greenback by giving It a
spwlal privilege under the law and de
priving gold of that privilege. The re
sult would be an instructive cbjoct les
son to tlione tlut cannot nv under
Ktand that money Is created by law,
and the bunkers would soon be asking
for nioru grei'tilwi ks. I'rosieesive

BONDS AT BOTH ENDS.
How (irovrr Ilii f attened the I'ockat
Jliiokn of Ilia llondltoliler.
During Grover Cleveland's first tera
as executive, there was a surplus o
money in the treasury. How the gov
ernment officers happened to let this
money slip through their flngcra is
something that has never been fully ex'
plained, yet there was actually a but
plus so big that it was a burden.
The question came before congress,
and measures were urged to dispos-i of
this money. Some suggested one
scheme una some another, but cur
Roger Q. Mills finally presented a bill
providing for the expenditure of this
surplus in buying bonds of the govern
ment not yet due. In order to Induce
the holders of these bonds to surrender
them, a premium was paid on the bonds,
and in fifteen months seventy-two mil
lion dollars found lodgment In the
pockets of the bondholders, In addition
to the principal and interest due on the
face of the bonds. Thus, the bond
holders succeeded in getting in a bold
robbery by the help of Senator Mills, to
the tune of $72,000,000. This was the
Initiatory term of Cleveland.
When Mr. Cleveland came In on his
second term a deficiency In the treasury
occurred very soon, and how to dispose
of the deficiency was a matter of nucb
moment. Of course, it must be dis
posed of in some way to the financial
b.neflt of the landholders and money
thieves. So instead of buying bonds,
Grover went to selling bonds, and did
the sauce as he did in buying bonds,
that hi. paid the bondholders a premi
um. The bondholders must have n
steal out of the bond deal no matter
whether the bonds are "a comin' or a
gwlne." The money gang succeeded
in llei'Hng the government out of from
fifteen to thirty millions on the bond
s:ile designed to procure money for the
deficiency In the treasury.
Thus Grover ha fattened the pocket
hook of the bondholders 11 1 both end
of biii executive hervice. When there
was too iinii h money. :h bond holders
were p.tld to take U out of the treasury,
and when there wait a tihortaije, of
money (lie bondholder! were paid to
pat ii:ninv into the treasury. It I

Is the result of an argument between our advertising manager
and the advertising manager of one of the newspapers of the city,
who bet his paper would sell more goods for us than any other
paper in the city or 5,000 handbills providing we would take the
following articles:
(DARK THE PRICES BELOW COST:
5 loaves Ilread
10 pounds line ltutterine
5 pounds Iletined Lavrt
3 pound pail Pure Home Rendered
11 pound pail I'uro Home Rendered
Sugar Cured Hams, per pound....
5 pounds Good l!eefteak
3 pounds Pork steal;
This advertisement with the cash entitles the buyer to any or all
of the above goods at the price set opposite each article. This test
will last but four weeks,
Endmn
Now if you want to boom the paper you read, and save money
at the same time, here is your chance. No one allowed to use more
than one advertisement or hand bill a day. In addition to the above
advertisement we offer
$25.00 IN GOLD
to the person guessing nearest to the number of cash sales made by
us during the month ending December 24th, '95. In every cash pur-,
chase we give a numbered slip on which they may write their name
and address and the number they guess. Deliver the same to the
office of Lincoln Meat Co., on or before December 22nd, '95. No one
allowed to guess more than 10 times.
The number of cash sales made by us during tha month of Oc
tober is 12,441. This is the largest number of cash sales ever made
in 30 days by any dealer in meats and provisions in Nebraska. Our
figures above will prove our assertion. This will enable you to
make a close guess-

Tho nominal capital ot this bank was

tho capital of the bank is now valued
at nearly 9,0o0,00t). At the lait set
