We have no peace to make with moral teachers who nrmttna uiurv and defend the private ., monopoly of legal tender and of land which makes it possible. We reruse to anftea our terms, for tho taking W (Bible) usury Is tbe taking of labor, of life, of life blood. We have conserva tive estimates, figures which cannot be disputed, wblcb show that the blood money (call it by a name that win not shock tbes fastidious sweat and blood extorters, if you like) taken oy tne money and land monopolists from American workers amounts annually to at least throe thousand million ($3,000, 000.000) dollars. And this extortion, spreading anxiety, temptation, suffer Inland need through all the ranks of wealth producers, bears with most fear ful weight upon the moneyless ana landless millions at bottom. Tbey btur up tbs walgbt of tba world with Its won.

Gold Is de manded au' declared by the usurers to be the only fit material for money and to base credit on, because they have ob tained a hold upon it all and the people cannot get it or money based on it with outborrowicg It upon usury or yielding a share of their product for tbe prmitgt of being allowed to work and exchange their Increase , It is also preferred by creditors, bv selfish, Intelligent salaried officials, from the President down, and tbe beneficiaries of churcb and college endowment funds, because Its usury and ourchaslng power is greatest, and because the gold dollar Is steadily DDrcclating In purchasing power, bav- ng doubled in twenty years. The labor burden of the unchanged obligation in terms of dollars, the wealth value of the debt to the creditor, and the valuo of fixed salaries increase in tbe ratio tbat prices fall. Tho goldbug is a man who teaches tbat the people can have no money ex cept gold, or stamped currency always exchangeable for gold, the gold which the bankers hoard or have strings to; that commercial credit, with tbe work and welfare of millions and millions who depend on it, must be subject to the avarice, the whims, the fears, t e regu- arly recurring lack of confidence of the money loauer; tbat the government must keep Its mints closed against sil ver, and provide no more paper as a medium of exchange to keep the people at work; that gold btlng "the only safe monev." there Is no financial remedy 0 w for the great usury accumulation, intVe banks and an exactly corresponding overtupply of goods in the markets, which the producers (because of these accumulations taken from them) cannot purchase, and must in consequence stop work and reduce tho market stock with their rraa'l savings or bo f-d by charity, or starve while tho rich unlcad the markets and n duce wages. The goldbug to be consistent must bo either misinformed and narrow-vlnioned or a supremely seluh atheist. Our riw-found friend of The Kingdom, we must believe, Is bllmled by the thick, fur-sprcadlng dut ot Wall street. He has lot to dlicover that tbe gold mono poly is by far the worst monopoly, be- rauso it Is the breeder and feeder of all the rust; and tbat usury taking is the great sla against Uod and man, tbe sin which builds the whole structure of society upon loJut!ea and gives to usury robbers, landlords and capitalists an (creating power of opprenlon The usurers, Including landlords tnd capital ists, have dared to trample on God's law (uln the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat broad"), have theuiMstrvs ataumcd the Creator' throne, have Urrcd tuea out from His natural pits- (Bos, from blDsned communication with Hhu through the free ue of the land and land forces, whkh He gave totally to all, and by demanding trlbu'e tor a place k lite, tribute la the nam of Uod and law they have wade the whole Idea of Uod and nature devtlWh to the mats t beneath thett.

The money Ideas of Wall and Lombard and Tbreadneedle streets cut square across the way of "the kingdom," tbe way of equity, the way of peace. TIE WISDOM OF rOOLUHHESS. J. S. Coxey and his Commonweal army have beea written about, read about and talked about in almost every place where two or more men have met in this vast country in the last few weeks. Every paper has bad bis name in it and a record of his and bis follow ers' movements. He has been or has suggested tbe subject of tens of thous ands of editorials and thousands of ser mons. Ho has cent electrlo shocks and earthquake tremors to the world's money center, and his jarring of the golden throne has filled tbe Bbylock rulers with amazement and alarm. He has provided at least a million new Jokes for tboie who cry, "On with the dance," and he has awakened serious thought and questionings in the mind of every patriotic citizen. "Lied about?" Yes. Ridiculed" Yes. "A fool?" Hold on, right there. Can a fool shake thrones and make the whole civilized world discuss his Ideas? And . is there nothing in tbe i&eas which he has made the world consider and debate? If so, all men are , fools, not he alooo. It matters not what measure of intellectuality Mr. Coxey may poises, be has grasped a great truth, ho has struck a great error. Ridicule bimall you choose bo b&sdone. and has begun a great work, a work of emancipation. What has be done? He bas had the wisdom to be an original fool, the great est fool In sacrificing for Christ' or tbe poor's sake. He bas first spent money, not wisely (?) In hopelessly in adequate charity, but to advertise his fool plan, and 'has consciously, intelli gently, willingly drawn forth a million shafts of ridicule, coumely and slan derous abuse against his person. He has done what no one else was morally great and wise and courageous enough to do to stir the world, and bas said: tbe poor ahall no longer be tortured and slaughtered alone in foul cellars and stifling garrets, aud be kicked off tbe earth as individuals without place or friends. He bai said that they shall not bo thrown out of work and be forced to beg or perish . He hat ihown them that the way for them to die, if die they mutt, it to die together, demanding their natural righii, their rightt a American eitlzent under the Constitution, and that to honorably dying thty will cease to die in tain. Ho has led a regiment of mi n wbo have been despoiled cf their native land and natural liberty to the ualloniJ law making body to peacefully demand their rights, as citizens, to a r1" l work, that they may have life and liberty. And their petition U for work provided without having to make im possible or usurious terms with capital ists, without having to again glut the markets by heaping up profits, by being despoiled of tho money which must be paid for the goods, as Is now regularly done for snd by the usurers. Work without growing bonds, without bond- ago, is tbe Coxey and also tbe Populist idea. God speed it. GIVE U8 LIBERTY OR DEATH The stcry la brief of tbe Corauoaweal doings from May 1st, is a story of world wide interest. Iho aeimUjlj unsettled questions of the right ot free speech, the right to life and llberty,-the ques tlon whether this is now a rich man's or a poor man's government, have buen crowded upon the attention ot every American citizen by Mr. Coxey's unsuccessful effort to speak on the broad steps of the ptople's capltol, in the peoples ground, for the natural and constitutloual rights of the mill Ions ot Americans who are dependent because uneuip'oyrd, On May lit, the Commonweal Indus trials who have peacefully, lawfully jouraeyt d toWathlngton to petition Con- grew to provide them work that tbey might by their labor for the public make thcmoelv-a no longer a burden to tbe publls, took up thvir line of march under the stars and stripe down l'na sjlvaola Avenue. They had no guns, but Instead walking sticks wre la the hands ut every man, and oc cash ot tbte tattered a white Hag on hlh were the words, "Psace on Karth.ti d Wilt to Ma; but iWath tolntemtoe Bonds." Msrthat Hrowa before starting hi band had laid. "Whttheroriwt we w.ll be permitted to sprak, I cannot say, but yon tautt b careful b pmerte the prat This dttinoaalralloa will be more powerful than fore, that gua, or boihba Mae moue'eU polloe led the way to open the crowd.

She personified the Goddess of Peace, and all along the march to the capltol she was greeted by the sympathetic crowds wblcb lined the streets with spontan eous enthusiastic cheers, After these came the marshals on fine horses, the bugler, tbe band, the standard bearer with a big American flag, and before ''the 400," who are not in but under "society," tbe 400 who were representatives and part of the 4,060,000 unemployed, leading these, came their bravest sympathetic friend, Mr. Coxey, and bis wife and baby, Legsl Tender. They rode In a light buggy, decorated with flags and drawn by a span of blsck horses A commissary wagon followed, drawn by Percherons, "the curse of national banks" being allegorlcally pictured up on the canvass wagon covers. Then came tbe Coxey dlvlslen of homeless unemployed. In front of tbe Philadelphia contin gent which brought up the rear rode a fine locking girl of 18, artistically drap ed in tbe stars and stripes, a gilt star flashing from her blue turban and a wealth of dark hair streaming down her back. A i they entered the business portion of the city, companies of Washington worklngmen joined the procession, the first of tbe accessions being 125 brick layers. Handsome carriages also lined the road before tbe city was reached, and Congressman Sibley, the Green back Populist millionaire wbo cares more for the people's liberties than for riches, was in one of them. Reaching tbe bill near tbe east front of tbe capltol where they expected . to turn down, tbe peaceful poor and their friends were met by a solid front of policemen stretching from curb tocurb, making ingress toward the capltol building Impossible, and tbe police at the bead essayed to lead tbe Common weal on past and away from tbelr desti nation. But the army stopped, Coxey kissed his wife, and joined by Marshals Brown and Jones made bis way back on foot through tbe crowds to the capltol. The mounted police saw tbe movement and rushed their horses through tbe crowds, jumped the stono parapets and did their utmost to reacb and stop tbe dauntless three before tbe steps of the rich men's temple should bo profaned. Brown was made conspic uous by his suit, acd with clubs raining down on bis head was arrested, and Jones also, while simply exercising tbelr constitutional rights. Mr. Coxey succeeded in reaching the tenth step of the broad front of the supposed temple of justice; but officers quickly surrounded him, refused to let him speak, clubbed back the crowd and would not allow him to read or accept bis pro test. Forming solidly about him he was pushed off tbe steps, the mounted police charged the surging crowd, aud be was pushed by the shoulders off of the capltol grounds and back to his car riage. The army in the mean time bad not broken ranks. The beautiful Godders of Peace sat calm, and when the com mander returned to them they took up their march back to camp. On their way back tbs crowds cheered continu ously all tho way, calling loud for Coxey to tpeak, and multitudes of tbe poor ot tbe city followed them Brown and Jones, bruised with baton, wero Incarcerated in the jail of the el'y of Washington. the city of Wash ington. For no offence save walking on the groticj, the public ground. Coxey was later arrested in the court room for the tame crime and for attempting to speak, under the shadow of the capltol, for tbe poor. What have we come to, and wblther are we drifting? I care not what others may say, but ar for mo, give rue liberty or give me death." Give to all and to the humblest American citizen Independence, or my life Is his to pray, and if praying will not affect his oppressors, to light, for his emancipation.

H0S0B TO WHOM E0JJ0R 18 DUE Editor Wealth Makers; I seldom feel impelled, by any sense of duty, to write for the public print, but tbere are times when, to my mind, sil ence would be next to crime, When we elect men to office we expect them to do tbelr duty, but wo are more often disappointed than gratified in the ex pectatlonj but when our expectations are luuy met it seems to me we should at least recognize the fact with a "well done good and faithful servant". But this is especially due when tbe act performed and the services rendered were surrounded by circumstances calcu luted to deter most men from the per rormance or tbelr duty. I refer to the remarks of Senator Allen, upon the floor of the senate, when tbe Coxey resolution was under consideration. I bad read comments, and criticisms, up on them, In various paper, and even gibes and jeers at tbelr author, from various sources, but my confidence in Senator Allen was not the least shaken; and the full text of his remarks, aa published in your last issue, fully, and further, justified that confidence. Knowing as I do, and as all your readers do, the trying circumstances under which those remarks were made I want to say for myself, and I believe I voice tbe sentiment of labor throughout the world, all honor to W. V. Allen for hia bold utterances, and his manly courage. wen can be anord to pocket the insult of Senator Hawley, and the jeers of united plutocracy, when he feels that be has not only proven himself a defender of constitute of American citizens, but that he hna voiced the sentiments of a verv larfe majority of his own constituents, and, as i believe, of Senator Hawley's as well. wnuei am no alarmist, and mav. for my utterances, earn a place in the cate gory of cranks, I yet earnestly believe that in all the history of this country no more learlul forebodinge nor doubt f ul outlook were ever face to face with the American people than at this moment. I need not, and do not. stop to consider the personality of General Coxey, and his so-called army of the Commonweal," further than to learn that they are "American citizens, "and that tbelr mission was peace, and their object the exercise of a constitutional right. Tbey carried on their person no deadly weapons, and In their right hands no strange device, but armed alone with a petition embodying certain demands for the benefit as they believed of labor. and carrying in their bands the stars and stripe?, they enter our capltol city aud approach our capitol grounds. I do uot know, nor do I stop to Inquire, tbe nature of those demands, for it makes nodlfferencs. The rlghtof peti tion is unlimited, and is as mu.-h. and as sacred, a right to every American citizen, as is tbe right to "life, liberty ana me pursuit of bapplneca." The rlghtof putitlon in this country bas never before been denied or questioned. It Is fundamental, underlying tbe wboie superstructure of all fret governments, and when it is denltd or stricken down, whII may we ak, what next? Prooertv Is no more sacred, liberty is no more sacred, ad without protection to these lu a country like thU, Ufa U In teed not worth living. The oommon, tolling people ot this land have been and are suffering much, but sre they to suffsr ana then Iom all: It begins to look like It There I no prhllojfe we enjoy no right we excreUe that may not be a ju.lly dialed u as that ot f eUMon, A ahiofia from the roof, a brick trtm the vail, orathutterfrorutheentranc of a building may be removed without parltvuUrlv endangering the staVt'Mt of the tdlnee. but a a nana ..u r netted trom the touadatlon It U'iej Carl llruwg and their frllowers, j may nut, ia the tttlutat on tt m. tr. aud the prelkt and his cabinet, t ruatldend worthy of their t nalder I'utt, hut tkey are part and pare el if uf iMturioo country, and although contlng (rota the ranks of labor they are en titled ut.Jir our form ot gotrnuint to all toe pi I tth' igr sand tentlw, a it they bad come lrom the abodes ot wwallh. or trvm k'btttd the bask counters, or from boards of trade; and who can deny that the presidential or congressional eye have ever been over these and that their ears been ever open to their prayers? Why then if this is, and is to remain, a government of, by and for the peeple, is this destlnctlon between the people now for this first time in so plain and palpable a manner f made, acd who is able and willing to justify the act? The common people not only established this country In tbe beginning as an asylum for the oppressed of all lands, but the hand of labor has built It up, and made it the wonder and admiration of the civilized world; and in every crisis through which It bas passed the strong right arm of labor has fought its battles and upheld its flag and brought it safely through every ordeal, "with out a single stripe erased or polluted or a single star obs:Hred." Labor, start ing from our eastern shore, bas pushed across the continent, felling forests, building cities, subduing savages, con structing riiiroadjand making tbe fields and deserts bloom and blossom as tbe rose. Capital itself fights no battles, builds no homes, plows no fields, works In no factories, mines no ore, Improves no harbors, constructs no railways, but like a bird of prey bas ever perched it self above labor, ready to descend and fatten upon lis fruits. But while it has been and done all this, never beore bas it dared to deny to labor the pitiful and yet sacred boon of petitioning for rsdressof its griev ances and tbe lightening of its burdens. Nor did this gross insult to labor take place in somo remote corner of tbe country under the impulse of tbe mo ment and at tbe hands of irresponsible parties. It wao predetermined, delibe rate,and not only in the capital city but n the very shadow of the capltol build ing and in sight both of the president and congreso; and I can view It in no other light than tbat every insult then offered and every blow struck was not only nor merely an insult to the men there peaceably assembled, but was an lOHUlt and A hlnw at Ink,. ,u..t the whole country; "for inasmuch as ye have done it to the least of one of these my brethren ye have done it unto me." .therefore conclude' as I begun, all honor to the name of W. V. Allen wbo had the courage and manhood and Y Patriotism to stnnrt im In tk. tti,i r States Senate and demand that the voice of labor be beard on an equal foot ing with capltol. j. v.

Young Attorney nv man. Who AetanAu Browne and Jones, made the imenlno statement for the defense. There was no denial or defense for what the Com monwealers had done, he bcan. Tho defense would consist in the lawfulness of their actions. He could remember but one simiiiar occurence In history, and thereupon he produced a bible and be gan to read a scriptural passage. i must object to that," interposed the district attorney. "The gentleman must confine himself to a sttttemnnt nf facts." "Does the attorney deny thatthia la a fact?" demanded the vountr attornav holding his bible aloft dramatically.
