In the testimony of Secretary Gage be.
lore the finance committee of the senate
.lur mnvm "I think it I a
logitlmatoeration to borrow In an v
way you can make It acoeptab le to both
parties to the contract." I think this
i,.- i i.. i. lint it, mnitiiH more. It
mean that tbe agreement of two parties
should not De tu ouruen oi u
party. Tb Issuance of legal tender In
not acceptable to all parties concerned.
It le not my purpose to dwell upon
tbe moral or the legal aspect of the eass
but upon the policy of tbe procedure. To
attain the right we should move by the
route that offers the leant possible
amount of resistance. What we want Is
no bonde and more money.
At long ae the court render Judg
ment In "legal tender," I euppoee i t is
nocessary to have eome legal tender, but
bare we not already enough7 Does not
thle legal tender ae a chip on our boul
der bring ue more opposition thun It
doe rea" benefit? Jlauk notee are not
legal tender, still they pone equally ae
well. Now to the point-why would it
not do Just ae woll to issue government
tax receipt drawing no Interest and not
legal ten. dor but acceptable for all gov
ernment dues, placing them with all
postmasters with Instructions to sell at
par for legal tender? 1 know they could
Le eold here and that populist, demo
crat aud republicans would buy them
and couHider it an honor.
lJuwarde would not buy them. None
but traitors would object to those buy
ing who wished to do so.as nobody would
be Implicated but the parties to the con
tract, the government and those who
wore willing to accept them.
Yours truly,

An old proverb says wo should not
04,11 the bear's sklu before wo have
caught the beur, but as our mouy
changers are so anxious to know, and
therefore ask, what Mi: Km Icy will do
lth the Pbllllpliie Island so that they
can right now make their speculations
and figure out how much profit they
can make by this job, we can just us
well toll them right now that not Mo-
Kluley, out WO people oi uiese mates,
have to decide this question, and that
this ieoplo will do what is right and
prevent all plundering of this poor poo
pie which for so long a time has suffered
under the most tyranlcal and barbaric
rule of Hpuiu. The principles which must
guide our people in its acts against all
the peoples of tho world were formulated
by tho founders of this republic in the
declaration of independence, which snys
that all men are creuted oual and that
they are eudowned with the inalienable
rights for life, liberty, and pursuit of
happiness, and that government are
instituted to secure theso rights, and
that whenevor any government becomes
destructive to this end then tho people
have a right und it is their duty to alter
or abolish such government and to in
stitute a new one.
These strict, noble principles are bind
ing for the nation, and it is the greutest
honor for our eople that they never
Commenced a war without being urged
to it to defend these noble principles of
humanity.
This war against Hiuiin was com
menced from tho most humane motive,
from sympathy for tho poor people of
Cuba which for centurion have been op
pressed and tortured iu the most relltied,
cruel and barbaric manner by the Span
iards, nnd therefore it is our duty to
make all of these jieoplij free. Wo liiive
no right ut all to sell or to deod over
theso islands, neither to Wall Htreet nor
to Lombard street. That would bo just
as cruel and barbaric us to put them
ftguin under Spanish rule. To the honor
of the magnanimous people of these
United States tt must let suid that there
is not a single Individual among the
common people who ever thought of
anything elss than to muke these ieople
free, but we have to coulees to our
shame that we have a small but most
powerful minority of toplo who try to
extort a profit out ol ever) thing, and
who would sell their own children if
thereby they could realize a large prollt,
These profit grabbers are now scheming
how to extort the largest prollt out of
the Philippine Island. Just like vultures
and hyeuas these money rhaugers follow
all armies at a safe distance to prey ou
the victims of the battle.
It was these vultures who, when the
Constitution was Mug drawn up, o
IhmkhI the emancipation of ths iit'ttro,
or which injustice this country had to
sufVrso much iitiwry, nnd it wns tint

JSut If I bad not seen and read this
circular several years ago I would be
lieve that it was Issued only a few weeks
ago, as the same swindle Is again enacted
because our bankers need more bonds as
a banking basis for controlling the
money, therefore they are so anxious to
see that a great debt is mude out of the
war which must be used as a weans to
control the volume of money, and
through this make the people again
tributary to the money bogs, Kvery
thlng proceeds now like a charm ac
cording to the program; the Hocretury
of the Treasury has already mode the
recommendations to congress which has
sanctioned the measure, and H the senate
agrees to it, then McKlnloy will only be
too glad to say amen by signing the act
and you can be sure that the supreme
court will declare It constitutional.
iVhut- will Mia imntile do? Will this
people be wise enough to repudiate such
bonds, as More are plenty oi causes o uu
no? Fieiin Kciiwbi.eh,

'Republican," waa the reply very em
phatically. "Do you belong to any church?" said
I was standing leaned over a nice
board fence one beautiful day in the
spring of 'W talking to my estimable
neighbor Jones, when we noticed a nice
carriage coming up tho road toward us.
We looked quite expectantly at the rig
as tt came nearer us thinking that per
haps it might be eome one of our ac
quaintances. In a short time the rig
came up even with us and we perceived
at once that It contained a nicely dressed
gentleman about 40 years old. Jiebld
us a verv oloasinit "(rood morning genta"
to which we both responded at once a
be stopped his team by the side ol us.
lie introduced himself as Mr.
editor of-- (Jarette-Journal, We
eucb introduced ourselves aud at once
entered into a somewhat interesting
conversation with our new acquaintance.
"Ia you men take my paper?" asked
the editor.
"No I don't" said I. "Neither do I."
said Jones.
The editor reached in bis pocket and
pulled out a roll of papers und gave
ouch one of us u sample copy for our In
spection and at the sumo time stated
that be would be glad to have us sub
scribe for his paper.
"Well, now, Mr. Editor," said Jones,
"Let mo see what Is la it."
"What religious principles do you ad
vocate?" sulu I.
"None in particular, only good moral
principles but non-sectarlun," unswered
the editor.
"I suppose you advocate home patron
izing principles etc,," said Jones,
"Yes, I ulwuys lookout for the Inter
ests of our own people first and they
patronize me quite liberally with sub
scriptions and advertising. I do not
eulogize any one Iu particular only do
them all my best service," said the
I. "yes" my wife and I are members of
the church was the reply.
"Now Mr, Kdltor" said I, "Will
you explain why your paper Is entirely
neutrul upon church matters and It is
not neutrul on political Hues, when us
you say you belong to a certain church
and a certain party. It surely can't be
that you think more of your purty than
you do your church."
Ed I tor:--" Woll 1 can't tell exactly why,
I love my church a good deal but you
know many people have peculiar notions
about church creeds ho that 1 do not
wish to hurt their fueling. Hut with :
politics there are but two real party
questions; that is the money question
und the tariff und the argument Is so
heavy upon the affirmative side that wo
ure right: no question about It."
Jones; "Now look hero Mr. Editor
f oil are a pretty good neutral fellow; I
ust want to ask you a few questions
ulong the political lines of your paper,
it may bo 1 urn wrong, but I voted for
William Jennings llryun and Kreo Kilver
in 'IMS and 1 intend to do so in 1 WOO if
there is nothing to stop mo."
"Yes. said I, "1 done the very self
same tiling. 1 am a democrat and neigh
bor Jones is a pop, but our cause is the
same,"
Editor: "Well it seems as though I
had come In contact with a dmno-pop
pair, but that is all right. You ure at
perfect liberty to ask me all tho ques
tions you want to. and you are free to
have your own opinions. This is it free
country, everybody Is his own lord.
This country has been under republican
government a good share of tho time."
I: "Hoe here now Mr. Editor. I have u
flock of hogs out there and the buyer
tells mo just how much ho will give mo
for them. The same way with grain,
hay etc. In fact w hatever I have to sell
Is marketed by a market made In cities,
Then I go to town to buy groceries, dry
goods, clothing, Implement und lumber
und the other fellow always fixes tho
prices. When I tuke u ride on the curs
or ship u cur load of stock over tho rail
road tho company always fixes the
charges and 1 have to pay it. When 1
work all summer to ruiso that car loud
of hogs or grain I cannot say how much
1 want for it.
When i go to borrow money for a
short time or ou my farm the loaner al
ways fixes the rate. When I go to pay
my taxes the amount is always footed
up for me. When 1 go to subscribe for
your paper you tlx the price no matter
whether corn is worth 10 cents or 110
cents u ImimIicI, 1 Htiould like to know
whero the freedom aud personal lord
ship comes in."
Editor: "Oli, that is not in question,
the boards of trade fix markets.
l:"Ycs, but it seems (tinny how these
markets ure all one sided, und how that
graud old purty which was iu power so
long, stood outside the gate of the
tluaiiciul cemetery uud gazed upon ths
boards of trade, corporations and trusts
lig the llnaucial graves for the agricul
tural and comuiou laborers of this free
laud. What were they doing all this
time?"
Editor: "Congress was not supposed
to regulate such business transaction.
It took t are ut the tariff matters in ordei
to protect our honnt manufacturers."
Jone : " i es that Is all riiiht us fur its

I:-"Nover mind that Mr. Editor, we

barn and we will feed them a little coufl
deuce corn and tariff oats aud then we
will huve a little common stuffing (or
ourselves. Of course you city folks are
used to considerable flue eating but I II

than what we raise bore on the farm.
Hut you are quite welcome indeed to par

will stay tor dinner too, and we will ini

and then we -III finish our little politi

Editor: "Well gents I am very grate
ful (or your hearty Invitation and 1 can
do nothing better thun to most heartily
accept. (Drives up to the bum and we
all go to work to unhitch) Now may be
you farmers think we live fat In town,
but I'll tell you we have to do consider
able stretching to muke both ends meet
sometimes. You farmers have a good
living here anyway,look at the chickens,
pigs, corn and wheat and so many good
eatables. Wouldn't we be flying in town
If wo wore In possession of such things.
You farmers can live bore whether we
fellows do or not, You are an indosm
dimt class whtii it comes to living. If
you really knew bow some olour mer
chants huve been working in order to
keep above water und every branch ol
business has been hurt by these terrible
times which came upon us In 'lb'l und
seems to hang over us as a cloud of log
In foggy weather, lint things ure Im
proving now since McKlnloy was elected,
i'hose democratic times cut on us all,
It see mod as though the farmers did not
buy much ol anything und consequently
the business men were short ol money
and did not advertise like they used to
do in 'DO und '01. Hotels complained ol
poor trade because tho traveling men
were less in number than before, There
was no use of traveling men because tho
merchants could not buy. Wholesale
houses seemed to be dormant on ac
count of poor trade; you know they de
pend upon our retail houses for their
trade, Manufacturers trot big piles of
all kinds of uoods tnado and could not
sell them because the wholesale men had
their rooms full and no trade to speak
of because the retail men were not buy
ing much und could not collect in enough
money to pay for what they had bought.
It seems to bo that there was no money
in circulation like it used to be. Our
laborers around towu could not get
work enough to hardly make a scant
living. In fact the whole town and all
towns wore brought to u standstill us u
general rule. Hanks could not collect
money nor interest. Mortgage com
panies were holding tho sack too. In
fuct you farmers were the best off of any
body. You had your living anyway.
Jones: You huve told us the history
of things pretty well. Hut look hero
what was therauso of all ol this You
forgot to toll how many farmers lost
their homes, I'll tell you Mr. Editor it
is pretty hard lor a fellow to buy a farm
for say f 2, 400 nnd pay down ull his
money, say f 1, 100 in good times, and
then have to let it go in these Infernal
times because ho could not pay or re
borrow tho f 1,000 any longer. Much
has been the cuso time und time again.
No ouo cau realize what this really is
until they go through with It. Hut uny
wuy we have ull seen theso various acts
performed before our eyes on tho stugo
of hard times. You know that ull things
have a common cause and effect aud
thut sumo causes produces like effects.
It therefore behooves us to find the causo
us we ull well realize the effect, aud so
mold our (uturo actions us to stop any
morn hiicIi effects. For the sake of hu
manity let us stop it. Why sir, even the

memberships of various churches has
fallen off considerably because it seems
as though money was not to be bad to
further the gospel cause as In previous
times, aud the laboring class was too
poor to get clothes that they thought
would pass in church on Sundays.
Hairoads suffered to a certain extent
but not so much ns others, because they
got to carry tbe (arm product just tbe
same, ol course their local trafllo and
passenger Income was decreased. Hut
what was tho cause of all this?
Editor: "Friend Jones you know the
trouble began when Grover Cleveland
was president and he was a democrat
aud they wanted free trade. And now
sir you see tbe effects of democratic folly,
lioncs If free trade will kill why won't
McKlnloy tariff cure?"
Jones: "Now you are coming at U
just like republicans, that is booting the
tariff. You know that under ths second
Cleveland administration we had a high
tariff nearly as high as the former Mc
Klnloy bill and In spite ol that tariff and
peace the government bad to issue a
whole lot of bonds. Now see hero my
dour sir you can neverstuff me with that
sort ol argument. You know tho panic
ol 'TA came ou when a good republican
was In office and a tariff law wus in ef
fect, And as I suld before the panic ol
'03 cume on when we hud a good tariff
on our federal statutes, Never, no never

about the two questions, but let us hear
un explanation of how the Imigley bill Is
going to make things any better than
tho tariff which was In effect under the
Cleveland M administration. You
know tho manufacturers were running
ull right when the hard times came ou
und continued to run us long as they
