THE GOLD-BUO
For Th Wealth Hakcb.
(Tune "Th Bowery.")
There one waa a man who llred la New York,
Constructed somewhat In th fashion of pork:
He was not Tery long, bnt wa awlully fat.
There was nothing about him waa small bat his
bat.
He possessed the features that mark a tough;
Was mostly composed of beef, belly, and bluff.
He didn't look brilliant, bat seemed well-fed;
And these were tb word that he said:
"I'm a gold-bag, a gold-bag.
My nam I Grover,
And that I'm all over
A gold-bag, a gold-bug.
Too can tell from the size of my head."
He was pachydermatous thick of hid.
For his country (by substitute) bled and died.
He rose to be sheriff and hung two men,
(Bnt didn't require any substitute then;)
Became a mayor by howling reform; '
And when, by the same means, he chanced to
warm
A governor's chair and a president's next.
He suddenly took a new text:
"I'm a gold-bug, a gold-bug.
Free silver ain't In It,
Because I'm agin' it.
A gold-bag, I'm a gold-bug,"
By thia cry the country was vexed.
He vetoed pensions by the Job-lot;
He talked about tariff and similar rot;
He tried to hand over the rebel flags;
Went hunting and fishing and got on Jags;
He snorted and raved o'er the Gorman bill;
Got muddled with Greeham and stuck on Lll;
On congress bis patronage used aa a string;
And still he continued to sing:
"I'm a gold-bug, a gold-bng.
. Wall street has bought me,
And so has got me,
A gold-bug, a gold-bug.
And a mighty good figure I bring."
When first he waa running, he made the bluff:
'One term for a president is enough;'
Bat see, how poorly be keeps his word;
He now Is fishing around tor a third.
He writes long letters and talks through his hat
But, old 'stuffed prophet,' we know 'where you'r;
at;' .
Tou are not In it, you're on the wrong side,
And the people will soon let yoa slide.
You're a gold-bug, a gold-bug;
And so, dear Grover, .
We'll throw you over;
For a gold-bug, a gold-bag.
Is something we cannot abide.

AWAKE
For The Wealth Makers;
Awake, my brothers, wakel
The night of bondage wanes; -The
signs of morning tinge the Eastern sky.
The toils that bind you, break;
Bend from your limbs the chains.
The hour of your redemption draweth nigh.
You are bur serfs to-day, '
Unto your master's greed,
With golden shackles, bound in slavery;
And will you bear it, say,
You of that noble breed
Of patriots who died to make yon free?
Awaken, then, arise.
Go forth in all yonr might.
Strike for your little ones, and wife, and horn.
Strike tor the glorious prize
Of Justice and of Right.
Bequeath It to the age that is to com.
Not in the tented field,
Nor In the battle's brunt,
Strike; but with ballots and with tongue and
pen
The arms that freemen wield.
Go nobly to the front
With those who battle for their fellowmen.
Sweet as the break of morn;
Sweet as the earliest song
Of bird, that tells the coming of the day;
Are noble actions, born
'Mid selfishness and wrong,
To aid the cause of Freedom marching on.
J. A. Edoebton.
Says Amen to It
Beemer, Neb., April, 1895.
Editor Wealth Makers:
I say amen! to your editorial of last
week on "Re-organize the Farmers," and
at random pen a few thoughts as to this
important matter.
The farmers (and I hare been one of
them ever since 1866) have been "organ
ized to death," as S. M. Davis says, by
requiring the payment of fixed dues as a
condition of membership without any
cash resulting therefrom. We need to
co-operate tor profit to ourselves on the
lines of controlling (owning) the means
of production, until such time as the
"public ownership of all monopolies"
shall be practiced by us as a nation.
It seems to me that the time has come
for all people farmers and others who
believe in the principles of the Omaha
platform, to take immediatesteps to put
said principles into practice among them
selves by co-operation.
Let farmers unite to fix their own
(reasonable) prices on their own products
as is their just right, and all reformers,
" who have it, place their funds together in
their own banks, incorporated under the
laws, requiring only a low rate of inter
est from 1 their indigent brothers, until
"public ownership of all monopolies"
prevails. Also let us, who now number a
million and a half voters, demand trans
portation at cost, or nearly so, or go to
work nod bnild our own nieina of trans
portation, etc., and pntrotiize no other
until "the jtood time coming" is her. So
also with all tb demands of the Omaha
platform. It seems to me do other mode
of procedure will bring the common peo
ple of the land to their senses and cause
them to vote together "as one man" for
their own interest. Let ua go to work
and commence putting the principles ot
the Omaha platform into practice.
J. E. Spencer.
Hard Facta For Consideration
Say, you farmer, who fixes the price of
what yoa hare to sell? Do you? Not
much. Yoa can keep your stuff if you
like, and the pressure of debt and taxes
don't force yoa to sell; bat if yoa do sell
how precious little yoa have to say about
the price. Tou humbly and thankfully
take what is offered, and the grain
gamblers and packing houses in Chicago
and Kansas City make the prices for yoa.
When it comes to buying, are you any
better off? Is it a plow or a cultirator
that yon want? Go to Independence or
Coffey rille, Havana or Caney, Jefferson
or Bolton, and you will find that it is all
the same price, fixed by the manufacturer
and which the agent who sells dare not
vary. Or is it the transportation rates
to market you hare to buy? When you
hare a carload of stock to ship do you
go to the railroad and say, "I will giro
you so many dollars to haul my steers
to Kansas City?" Not by a long ways.
You ask for terms; yon don't dictate
them. Buying or selling, you take the
prices fixed by others, and you never fix
any yourselves. Do you ever stop to
think that you are working for others on
their own terms; and that the men who
fix all these prices virtually own you and
all you have? And if you get that far, do
you ever go on and question whether it
is possible to make a change so that you
will have as much to say as any one in
fixing prices? As it is now you produce
the food that all men must have to live,
and the fellows who never produced an
ounce of food in their lives fix the price
at which you must sell it. Strange, isn't
it, that the men who furnish the world
with food should have nothing to say
about their own wages, while the men
who furnish nothing, but who gamble
and speculate on the necessaries of life,
should have all to say about what they
sell for? Ami wrong; is it entirely a
matter of demand and supply? The sup
ply is in your hands; the demand comes
in greatest measure from the millions of
day laborers and their families. And
neither of you have any more to do with
fixing the price than the man in the
moon. It is the grain gamblers and the
millionaire packers who fix the prices of
wheat and pork and beef, both for you
who sell and those who buy. They are
few and you.are many. You can render
them powerless if you will. But you will
never do it while part of you "belong"
to one political party and a part of you
to another. Standing together, the
world's laborers, the producers of wealth
would be invincible. Divided they are an
easy prey to the scheming idlers. Star
and Kansan.
The Iiaw of Service
(Continued from 1st page.)
of the world. If we are ever to have
justice in the world; if we are ever to have
peace and order; if Christianity is any
thing more than a dream, a delusion, a
tale that has come to the minds of the
world to leave them to a blacker despair
than before; then the law of the kingdom
of Ood must be wrought into the actual
affairs of men.
The delusion that is causing our danger
of revolution and anarchy is that false
notion that there are different kinds of
right; that we can practice a kind of right
as individuals, which is utterly impracti
cable when we enter into the institutional
and economic life of men. The notion
that there are different kinds of right is
really the kingdom of hell on the earth.
Here one thing is right for me as an in
dividual and something else when I enter
the politics of the world, or the markets,
or the commercial life of the world, or
the social life of the world that is anar
chy. If there is a law of benificence, a
law of service it is for all time, for all life.
Then supposing I can get a man to
acknowladge the Christian law as the es
sential law of service; it means, an entire
deliverance from self-interest and an in
vestment of the whole life in the common
life, for the common good. We can get
"men to acknowledge that, but we deny it
at once when we say we cannot do the
business of the world on that basis. It
is not the law that prevails in the busi
ness world. Now, to begin with, the act
ual life of the world as associated, organ
ized life needs that law. That life suffers
when I limit that law to mere individual
action. There is no suqh a thing as mere
individual action. I cannot practice that
law in what I may call charity, and then
go into social or buwiness life and prac
tise the opposite. When I profess to be
Christ's disciple, Christ, whose whole life,
death, sacrifice wereGod'scondemnation
of the law of self-interest as being the de
struction of human life; when I profess a
Christ who came to disclose that law as
being the darkness of the world: I am
offering incense unto idols just as truly
as the early Christians who offered incense
unto the Roman Emperers. We have
far less reason than the early Christians
who sometimes gave up Christianity to
save their lives. The man who calls him
self a disciple of Christ and then goes out
into the world to declare that the Sermon
on the Mount and Christ's law of love
are impracticable in the world, has re
pudiated Christianity. He is just as
truly an idolater as if he had fallen down
and worshiped an idol. Hedid it to save
his life; we do it to save a few dollars.
The whole theory of human life.economic,
commercial, or political, as being
grounded upon self-interest, is a repudia
tion of Christianity, an acceptance of pa
gan conceptions of life. It is something
worse than that; it is a practical confes
sion to the world that selfishness, that
wrong in its various manifestations, is
stronger than right. When I declare
self-interest to be the law of life I declare
that selfishness is mightier than love,
mightier than the laws that God has
given for men. My actual life then be
comes a confession of faith in selfishness
as being organic in the life of the world.
The law that we profess in our institu
tions is what we call the law of competi
tion. The law of self-interestand the law
of competition areone. Competition has
been given forth as the law of the uui verse.
I believe it is a lie. If it is true then man
Is not the son of God, Christianity is a
delusion. The two are absolutely incon
sistent with each other. The two cannot
stay together in the same world. It is
idle, wicked, dishonest. Men know it is
dishonest to try to reconcile the two to
eacb other. Men know there is no
shadow of a standing ground for any
competitive theory of life in a true
society. I be law of the kingdom of Uod
and the law of competition are funda
mentally opposed to each other. Tliey
are the antipodes of each other. Compe
tition means even at its best the equal
balancing of self-interests, of rights.
When the idea of competition rose, it
served its place in the social development
of the world. You have learned in polit
ical economy the history of the rise of
the competitive, economic theory. It be
gan in feudal days in the market. In the
early market if a man were to attempt
to profit by buying and selling it was
considered criminal. The market was as
sacred as a church. It was the common
meeting place in which neighbors met to
exchange with each other. The man who
raised cabbages and pumpkins met with
the man who made shoes or cloth. It
was a mutual exchange all the way
around. The market was a sacred place;
there were very strict and stern laws
against men buying or selling anything
for profit. Men have been hung, even,
for attempting to get all of one product
for profit. One can conceive right off
that if competition were limited to that
where the purest economic theorv tries
to limit it, a theory of life grounded In
that would not be reprehensible. But it
has never been put into practice since
that time, lnat primitive competition
was not competition at all. It was pure
socialism. The primitive, or feudal com
petition, where men met together and ex
changed products was really fellowship.
The whole place was sacred. It is a mis
placement of the word to urge that that
makes competition a right law. To be
gin with it never was competition.
A man who was ordered by hissuperior
to do something gave nineteen reasons
why he did not want to do it, and then
said be did not want to do it anyhow.
So we might do the same with this com
petition. It never was competition. We
know that that is not the prevalent con
ception in the world. No such theory, no
such practice, of competition has pre
vailed in modern civilization. I am
speaking of a theory of society.
The whole social organism, the whole
structure, must be dominated by one of
the two theories of life. We have no
choice in that matter. The competitive
theory based upon self-interest, or the
service theory, or social theory, based
upon the theory of sacrifice, which is the
law of the kingdom of God. One of the
two we must recognize. One of the two
must prevail. Yet the two are funda
mentally opposed to each other. We
cannot have a theory of sacrifice for the
individual and a theory of competition
for society. Christianity is essentially a
revelation, a doctrine, a theory of human
life based upon tfce entire elimination of
self-interest and competition, based upon
the unity of all interests, the communism
of life. I do not mean any dividing up,
but amutuality of interests. Thelloman
theory is exactly the opposite of this, so
when we begin to talk about any order
of society, we must choose between these
two. One of these two theories of society
must give way. Christianity must be
abandoned, or competition; the law of
the kingdom of God, or the law of self
interest. '
What is actually the result of the com
petitive theory of life as we find it in the
world? We call it an equal balancing of
human rights. But where every man's
mind is set upon his own rights rather
than the rights of others his own rights
will blind him to the rights of others.
According to that theory the property,
or things that a man has, measures his
rights. Still further the more property
a man has the more rights he has, there
fore the stronger he becomes. Therefore
it becomes a struggle for property.
Therefore legislation is in the interests of
property instead of human beings. So
legislation has increasingly tended to ad
just the balance of corporate interests.
Attorneys are sent to legislate for the in
terests of property. That is the practi
cal outgrowth of that law based upon
self-interest. The struggle of life, for life
will always be a struggle of a certain
kind, instead of being a united effort of
man to achieve a common good, a com
mon freedom, becomes a struggle to
wrest from each other the utmost service.
In competition all becomes a waste of
huinan life. The great strength of our
human life is wasted in the struggle with
each other and in uncertain strife and
anxiety, when it might be conserved, uti
lized, made fruitful in the united struggle
in which we might all progress toward
perfection. In its actual workings, in the
great strife and scramble, the weakest
are going down all the time before the
strong. The competitive theory is the
attempt to keep man under the dominion
of his brute inheritance, the attempt to
make prevail in the world that theory of
life which denies virtue. Low qualities
of human life are fostered.' The animal
instincts of character are put over
against righteousness. Whodominates?
I do not wish to bring any man to judg
ment, but let us look and see who con
trols. Who are they and by what meth
ods are they in that place? The cunning
and the strong have triumphed over the
industrious. It is not a triumph of the
fittest. Ourcompetitive theory is the tri
umph or a survival of the untittest. In
our competitive civilization the lost,'the
most depraved order of human beings,
triumph. It cannot beany other way.
The man who undertakes to put into
practice the teaching of Jesus can he
meet the man who with the instinct of
thetigertriumphsoverhis fellowmen and
puts them down? In the competitive or
der, the men or institutions who under
take to practice Jesus' teachings must
tor the time being go down in the strug
gle of life before the cunning and the
strong. Our great commercial succens
instead of being our national prosperity
has been the degradation of our nation.
Our great private monopolies have been
the triumph of cunning men who have
been utterly regardless of the rights of
their fellow men. No man can do justice
to another mail in competition with him.
No mau nan do justice to another whom
he is not serving nor except through love
for that man. Justice is nothing in the
world but love having accomplished its
end. No man ever did justice to another
man except through love to that man.
The theory of competition isessentiully
the theory of war. it carries with it all
the horrors of war. It closes mines and
factories; it shutsup millions in tenement
houses. It puts the control of millions
in the hands of a few. The weapons are
not the weapons of sword or gun, but
they are weapons that are far more de
structive than all the weapons of war.
Here are men infinitely increasing their
power and their strength. We find the
absolutism of the past we thought we
had gotten rid of centuries ago in the
Protestant Reformation and in the
French Revolution, but the old absolut
isms are coming down to us in a deformed,

Time flies, and public feeling wideus
with its flight The public mind is more
awake today than ever. The many are
sinkfng under the outrageous burdens of
the shrewd and heartless few, while that
burden is forcing the millions to ask
themselves, why bo few are rich and so
many poor, in a land whose varied stores
yield enough to supply the nations?
They are finding that question is leading
them to discover the infamous ways in
which the few are crawling for public
robbery too long hidden from the public
eye by the low cunning of greed and
power. These ways they should have
seen and known years ago. And this
they would, had it not been for the
blackest double-dealing. The scheme of
robbery that has been working for years
in extorting the hard earnings from the
toiling millions, is being seen, examined
and exposed by them. They see the
wealth produced by them, and in justice
theirs, in the hands and under the con
trol of these the few who earned but
little of it, and gained nearly all by
fraud.deceit and cunning. This view of
our public condition is rising before them
its colors are becoming deeper yet clearer;
in it scorn of the people burns in red;
in it change from freedom to slavery is
visible; in it the wily tongue and the
crafty hand of wealth stand out in hard
relief in their decoy of venal souls to
serve them; in it is seen the disgrace of
the American name, the doom of the
American institutions, and the sinking
of the hope of man into the gulf of des
pair. Ibis view of things is burning in
to the souls of men and rousing their
attention to the fearful danger before us.
1 he public duty of the hour is becoming
clearer to the public mind. Nearly all
admit something is wrong, while millions
are beginning to see that something
must be done to make that wrong right,
or that wrong will be extremely worse,
and soon, with the people sacrificed on
the altar of the unscrupulous and greedy
few.
This is the vital problem before us; and
the millions musfTrise in their might and
solve it, or its solution by others will
solve them. Then free government will
be no more, and the blackest waters man
has known will submerge the world. The
millions are rising to scorn the situation
and will pass judgment on it, from what
they see and learn. If those who now
see things as they are, are true to their
convictions, and move with active firm
ness in support of their cause, striking
with the sledge of reason edged with
truth, tempered with justice and the love
of man, there can be no question as to
who shall carry the flag ol victory. Ihen
let us put on our armor and draw our
weapons aud press to the front, lie sure
we are right, then go ahead.

Headache txutf Get Dr. HUea Pain Pllla,
The Baltimore Plan,
now practically endorsed by President Cleveland, is attracting
universal attention because it is based on the evident fact that
the currency and banking systems of the country must be re
formed. . '
But is the Baltimore plan a reform? It gives the associated
banks the power to expand the currency and relieve the country.
It also gives them the power to contract it at will and create
universal distress for their own private gain.
It puts the credit of the government behind every bank note.
It donates all but half of one per cent of the profit on the note
issue to the banks, and it leaves plenty of opportunities for a
Napoleon of Finance to wreck a bank and leave the government
to pay the notes.
It leaves the banks free to demand the highest interest that
the several states will allow, and affords no relief to farmers and
business men of moderate capital.
Contrast with this
The Hill Banking System.
In "Money Found," an exceedingly valuable and instructive
book published by Charles H. Kerr & Company of Chicago, and
for sale at the office of this paper at 25 cents, Hon. Thos. E.
Hill proposes that the government open its own bank in every
large town or county seat in the United States, pay 3 per cent
on long time deposits, receive deposits subject to check without
interest, and loan money at the uniform rate of 4 per cent to
every one offering security worth double the amount of the loan.
This plan is not an expense to the government, but a source of
large revenue.
It secures the government ' amply, which the Baltimore plan
does not.
. It relieves the distress of the common people, which the Bal
timore plan does not. . ,
It protects not only note-holders but depositors, who are un
secured now and under the Baltimore plan would be still
worse off.
In a word, the Baltimore plan is in the interest of the bankers,
the Hill Banking System is in the interest of the people.
Consider them both, and ask'your congressman to vote for the
tjne you believe in.
And send us 25c. immediately for the book. "Money Found
