Men who make a business of wrecking
banks are the fellows who insist that the
present financial system is the best the
world ever saw. It is for them.
The love of human liberty, if left to
itself is harmless; but, if confined, it be--comes
an explosive that is dangerous.
Plutocracy should get off the safety
valve.
The minds of the great plain people
keep pretty close to the primary stan
dard of right. When the minds of the
leaders, through lust of power or of gold,
get too far away from that standard,
then it is that the masses assert them
selves and place new men at the front.
The average man kicks about monopo
ly and hard times for three hundred and
eizty-four days in a year and 011 the
three hundred end sixty-filth (Jay day,
goes to the polls and puts in his ballot
in favor of both of them.
Men who have brains to think for them
selves and eyes to see into the future
know that there is an invisible power
which stands on the side of right and
finally carries it forward to success
The enemies of human liberty may seem
to succeed for a time, but, when they
meet this power, they are swept aside as
autum leaves before a storm.
In the old days the thief did not show
his face openly. He haunted the high
ways and byways on the borders of
civilization, or prowled the unfrequented
parts of the sea. He fell on his victims
by night and fled before the majesty of
the law. Now the thief lives in houses
with brown stone fronts. He is at the
"top of the heap" in society. He haunts
the stock exchange and the halls of con
gress. He is even elected by the people
to hold office. Times have changed,
you see.
Did you ever wo1' die coming of a
storm? First, tl's taint mutterings and
distant flashes of light; the marshaling
of the hosts of the air on the far western
horizon; the the rising of the blue, tremb
ling masses through the sky, accom
panied by gleams and rumblings, while
the ea'rt holds its breath; then the clash
ing of the elements, the assault of the
rain, the wind and the hail; and finally
the peace and beauty of the earth after
it has all passed over? Such is the com
ing of the great industrial revolution.
Did you ever pinch a dog's tail and
watch him turn around and bite his tail
instead of biting you? You doubtless
thought the dog foolish. But the people
have done the very same thing for many
years. When plutocracy pinched the
people, the people began fighting eajch
other instead of fighting plutocracy.
A poor devil can steal a horse and pro
bably get hung for it. A thievinggang of
state officers and their contractors can
steal a whole state treasury and Biuy "in
their places unmolested. It all depends
on the amount, you see. At least, it is
so in my state.
Mossbacks, old fogies, and hypocrites
have always tried to block the advance
of reforms. They have allway stood in
the way of the car of progress until
finally run over and left behind.
There is an abundance on this earth to
make every human being comfortable
and happy, were it not that a few shy
locks seek to gobble everything and
make the rest of mankind their slaves.
How sublime is the selfishnessof a hog!
Not satisfied with what he can eat, he
tries to fight all his fellows away from
the trough. Were we rid of the human
hogs, the race would be much happier.

We should call things by their right
names. If a man is a thief call him a
thief, not a capitalist. If he is a gamb
ler, call him a gambler, not a speculator,
if he is a boodler call him a boodler,
though he hold the highest office in the
gift of the people.
When I see a rich man I do not par
ticularly envy him. I say that the
wealth, which has been stolen from the
hands of toil, may buy him immunity
from the law, may buy him power, may
buy him the applause of fools, and may
even buy him happiness, but it never can
buy him character and it never can buy
him brains, and those, after all, make
the man.
In 1856 slavery was at the very height
of its power. It controlled the uatioiml
government and almost every state gov
ernment. Every particle of legislation
that had looked toward the curbing of
the system had been defeated. The few
abolitionists of the country were sneered
at, hooted, mobbed. All the wealth of
the nation was for slavery, nearly all
the churches were for it, the government
was for it, the politicians were for it, and
the people themselves seemed to be for
it. Yet in ten short years slavery was
wiped out. Let the friends of reform
take heart. We are dealing with the
same American people who freed the
slave. The same God reigns today who
reigned in the sixties.
Man can only work a email portion of
the time. He must sleep, he must eat.
he must rest. But interest works every
hour, night and day, week day and Sun
day, winter and summer.
During the recent panic the claim was
everywhere made that the country was
suffering from a lack of confidence. I
wonder if the very wise men who made
that claim ever reflected that a lack of
confidence presupposes a lack of some
thing to inspire it? Confidence, or the
lack of it, does not createconditions, but
is created by couditious. It is hard to
have a maximum of confidence on a
minimum of currency.
There never wns a dishonest dollar ex
cept one made dishonest by law. There
never was a depreciated money unless
some of its money functions had been
taken from it by legislation.
There is a rising sun and a setting sup;
and the rising sun is the rights of the
people, and the setting sun is corporate
tyranny. God still reigns, and true no
bility in the human race still lives.
Men fighting singly can gain nothing.
Men fighting in unison can gain every
thing. The toilers must unite.
Whenever you hear a man talking
about financial panics being necessary
every so often, you may put that man
down as one who talks through the crevi -ces
of his head-gear. Panics are not natu
ral and are not necessary in a rightly con
structed financial ' system. A panic is
caused by a scarcity of money. Too
much of our business is done on a credit
system; and, whenever, by a combina
tion of circumstances, credit becomes
strained, confidence is shaken and there
is a demand for more money than is in
circulation hence a panic. With a suffi
cient volume of currency and with a per
fectly stable system of government banks
of deposit, panics would become impossi
ble.
The old parties declaring the reform
movement dead are considerably like an
Irishman. "Begorry," said l'at, "that
mon is dead." Just then the supposed
corpse moved. "He's dead," reiterated
Pat, "but he ain't sinsibleof it."
Somebody has said that gold was in
tended for money. By whom? There is
no commandment in Holy Writ to that
eirect. On the contrary tod hastisea
the people for worshiping the golden
calf. Somebody also has said that gold
is the oldest money. Oh! no. Silver is
equally as old and other metals were
used as money before either.
There is a new sun risintr, a new ban

Not Silver Alone.
Some of the peoples party editors are
n the habit of styling the silver men's
money plank as a "silver plank, "and say
they want the peoples party to run on a
single plank, and that narrowed to the
sole issue of free coinage. An examina
tion of the silver men's plank adopted at
W ashington would dispel this illusion,
and show that it is as broad as any
reasonable populist need ask for, and is
almost a repitition of the monev plank
of the Omaha platform. Neither do they
claim that money is the only issue, but is
the "paramount issue, just as every
populist claims. Iowa Searchlight.

These bard time compel many to
economize, and if you want to make
what money you have go as far ar possi
ble, I believe I can help you. Since com
ing to Omaha I have had many of my
friends throughout the state write to me
to make purchases for them, which I have
always freely done and such splendid sat
isfaction has resulted that I have conclu
ded to establish a Consumers Purchasing
Agency. Knowing inside prices of whole
salers and manufacturers, and buying in
large quantities, I can undoubtedly buy
goods for you cheaper than you could
buy them yourself and if you are in need
of any kind of merchandise, dry goods,
groceries, clothing, farm implements,
buggy, bicycle, any make, or in fact any
thing, I am satisfied I can save you mon
ey by getting you inside wholesale prices.
If you will write me, giving full par
ticulars about what you need, I will quote
you prices on anything you want, and
give you my terms which are very reason
able. This will be much cheaper than
for you to come to Omaha yourself and
I will be as careful in making a purchase
for you as if I were buying for myself and
I believe I can please any reasonable per
son. For further information, terms,
samples, prices etc. write me.
