The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be
ing a 'constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken Internally, act

surfaces ,of the system, thereby de
stroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.

Kail's Family Pills are the best
that the industrial depression was due
to the Sherman law and demanded its
. Immediate repeal. To Justify their
charge, the. bankers began to con
tract the currency, by calling In their
loans and refusing to extend credit un
rtil the Sherman law was repealed.
However, they got more than they bar--gained
for, as their action created i
money panic and rushed wildly beyond
their control, and financial ruin be
came widespread.
The Sherman law was finally re
pealed by the debauchery of the rep
vesentatives of the people Cleveland
vrostltuting the power reposed in him
fy a disgraceful dispensation of fed
eral patronage. But the industrial de
'pression did not cease with the repeal
'of , the law, for it was evident that
Cleveland had pulled the wrong toolh
fc-nd had administered the wrong medi
cine. The fact of the matter is that
the country experienced no relief un
til after the passage of - the Wilson
Oorman law, and very little then, for
lit was little, if any, better than the
McKinley law, and this measure did
not go into effect till August, 1894,
seventeen months after his inaugura
tion,. In the congressional elections held
a few months 'later, the democrats met
a crushing and humiliating defeat,
their vote falling off over 25 per cent.
Cleveland's ordering federal troops to
Chicago at the behest of the railroad
fcorporations and against the protest
of the late; Governor Altgeld was an
'outrageous violation of the constitu
tion and a brutal attempt to crush or
ganized labor. To send the troops
against the protest of the governor of
the state, he resorted to as contempti
ble a subterfuge as his mind could con
ceive. The railroad corporations in
order to obtain the aid of federal
soldiers attached the mail cars to the
(end of the train,' so that if any of the
cars were detached it would be among
the number. This was. construed' by
tthe railroad officials as interfering
with the United States malls and in
terstate commerce and called upon
President Cleveland for protection.
.With astonishing celerity he directed
fc!s United States district attorney to
llpply for a writ of injunction before
H'le ' United States district judge, to
njoIn "the strikers : from Interfering
Hvith the United States mail. The writ,
it f course, was issued and the strikers
were enjoined from committing cer
tain acts, which, if committed, would
he criminal offenses, and for which a
penalty was provided by law. The as
sumption of this federal judge that
he wa3 vested with the common police
powers, 'usually exercised by state
tribunals, having cognizance in crim
inal matters, was amazing, but the
"length to which his omnibus order
Wvent was not only beyond all prece-;
l,dent, but beyond the utmost theories
jof those mho favor imperialism. The
ostensible purpose of the order was to
.protect life and property, but its real
kurpose was to deprive the accused of
V trial by jury . ',
Trades unionists are indebted to
Grover Cleveland for-government by
Injunction. He demonstrated how fed
eral troops can be called out to aid the
trusts in crushing' a strike. Those who
wish to, break a strike now have only
'to sue out a 'writ of injunction In a
.federal court, which, in its prohibi
tory clauses is only limited by the in
genuity of the lawyer drawing the bill
gn chancery. The judge, without hear
ing the defendant, declares what he
(shall or shall not do In advance, and
without hearing, enforces the perform
ances of the commands of the writ;
then orders the defendant brought be
fore, him, tries him without a jury,
adjudges him guilty of a violation of
the commands of the writ, and sen
tences him to punishment, not provid
ed by law, but resting entirely with
the discretion of the judge.
Crimes and infamies more atroc
ious still can now be laid at his door.
.Recent disclosures before the Spanish
'treaty commission prove without
doubt that the Spanish prime minister-
had, in 1896, formally acknowl
edged the belligerancy of the Cubans
and this acknowledgement was, with
held from the public by President
Cleveland, because he knew that if the
contents were .made known congress
'.would recognize the belligerent status
" of - Cuba.- Thus by . a pernicious per
version of -his official authority he de
prived Cuba pf' her rights and liber
ties and this perfidious act produced
complications which resulted ultimate
ly in our war with Spain, and the evils
and burdens of imperialism which have
followed. " ; - :' . - - .
, - Ta listen "to the croakings of these
political t frauds and detestable hum
bugs, you would imagine' that the cur
rency plank of the Chicago platform
was undemocratic, and that Mr. Bryan
was responsible for it.
For twenty years prior to 1896, the
democratic party had been contending
for free coinage. At every opportun
ity a majority of democrats in con
gress voted for it." There never wa3
a more consistent record of the fidel
ity of a party to a cause than is pre
sented by the long list of roll calls in
congress showing a majority of demo
crats in both houses to have been uni
formly in favor of the free and unlim
ited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to I.- , -
Who was directly responsible for
Ihe defeat of the democratic party in
1896?, Was it not this very crowd who
are shouting for harmony . and "get
together?" Why didn't they get to
gether at. the polls in 1S96 and 1900?
Is it not a tenet of the democrat!
creed as old as the party itself, that
the majority must rule? But it Is like
every other sound principle of that
glorious old party they have discard
ed it , . ;
The Cleveland-Hill program is to
nominate Cleveland's former private
secretary, Dan Lamont, "for governor
of New York and HillTor the presi
dency. It is a beautiful -thought, in
deed. Suppose that Lamont or Hill
had been nominated in 1896 instead of
Mr Bryan, would either r,hav&. carried
a contested election district in the
country? When the democratic na
tional convention met in Chicago in
1896 the party was in a state of utter
despondency bordering on a complete
collapse. -How could it be otherwise?
Cleveland's perfidy "and Gorman's in
iquity had left the party , dishonored
and disgraced in the eyes of the Amer
ican people. How could it in the face
of broken promises, unredeemed
pledges, unfulfilled obligations, ask
the confidence and support of a people
whom Its leaders had so basely be
trayed? The delegates were spiritless
and without hope until the memorable
Thursday afternoon when William J.
Bryan ascended the platform and in a
twenty-minute speech in which-he ap
pealed to the convention to take fresh
courage and new hope and prepare for
the life-and-death-struggle against the
enemies of the people.
The money power had. Its agents in
the convention contending for the gold
standard, and commendation and in
dorsement of the Cleveland adminis
tration. When' the despondency was
deepest, when every vestige of hope
had departed from the breasts of the
most zealous, a man arose clad in the
armor of righteousness and addressed
the vast audience , in defense of the
holy cause of oppressed and outraged
humanity. ; This man, young, ardent
and impassioned, eloquent, earnest and
brave. When he concluded the most
remarkable' speech ever delivered in a
convention hall, in the memorable
words: "You shall not press down
upon the brow of labor this crown of
thorns; you shall not crucify mankind
on a cross of gold," "the people went
wild with enthusiasm for they knew
they had found a leader, who would
lead them forth from financial bond
age. '
At that moment the Cleveland dem
ocracy breathed its , last, and the
young, hopeful Bryan democracy was
born. . From that moment the masses
had hope and still have confidence in
their incorruptible leader, William J.
Bryan of Nebraska.
In 1892 when the people believed
that Cleveland was pure and honest
they polled 5,556.918, votes for him; In
1894 'when they knew he was corrupt,
and false the democratic' 'Vote dwin
dled to 4,500,245. -.
An analysis of the election returns
show that M.-Bryan and not Mr. Mc
Kinley was the 'choice of the Ameri
can people in 1896. .?

In 1892 Harrison received. .. ; 5,176,103
In 1892 Cleveland received. ..5.556,918
In 1896 McKinley received... 7,104,779
In 1896 Bryan received.. 6,502.925
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr.
Brayan received 946,000 more votes
than Mr. . Cleveland did in 1892, yet
Mr. McKinley is credited with receiv
ing 601,854 votes more than Mr. Bry
an and 1,928,671 anore votes ,. than Mr.
Harrison. - (jc-.w v -, - '
The increase of, the ,vote of 1892
over 1892 was 1,864,030, or 13 3-10 per
cent.
The increase in the vote of 1896
over 1892 was 1,846,030, or 13-3-10 per
cent.
It is well known that the republi
cans resorted to ey.ery-specles of cor
ruption known to practical politicians.
It is also well known that by a com
bination with the Cleveland democrats
the election boards were notoriously
unfair and corrupt
In the face of these facts and figures
is it not nauseating to . listing to the
gabble of these Cleveland-Hill demo
crats about harmony and '"getting to
gether." The change of 19,346 votes in
1896 notwithstanding the corruption
would have elected Mr. Bryan. The
vote in the following states show it:
California 962, Indiana 9,002, Ken
tucky 142, North Dakota 2,826,' and
West Virginia 5,445. This change of
less than 20,000 would be a gain of
48 electoral votes and a majority of
one in the electoral college. What an
excellent tune for these "harmony
democrats to' get together."
The Chicago convention should
have renounced Cleveland and all his
works. His perfidy and ingratitude
should have been denounced In no un
cecin tone and the party would have
been well rid of him. As it .was, it
was Mr. Bryan who had. to carry the
burden of Cleveland's disgraceful ad
mlnistrat!6n. WILLIAM W. . BRIDE.

THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL
Mr. Rockwell Reviews Soma History Re
garding the Actions of Money Chang
ers iia the Past Theagh Scourged
from tho Tempi They
Still Kolo.
Editor Independent: If "money is
the root of all evil," the government
should control it. The individual and
corporation right to loan money is the
basis of a universal confidence game
which the money changers work on to
undermine- good form of government
and enslave the masses. And this oil
pernicious custom should be stopped
by the United States government
remedial laws.
1. The government should issue all
money, metallic and paper, make it all
a full legal tender in payment of all
amounts, public and private, and in
volume adequate for the transaction of
all legitimate business. , -
2. At every county seat and town
large enough to justify a corporation
bank, also in cities, - the government
should establish in connection with its
postofflces or otherwise, places in
which the people can deposit and re
ceive money from as has been advo
cated by the populists. ,
My opinion is, money was intended
to be used as a circulating medium for
the benefit of all, not as a medium to
be used by Shylock to hold up and rob
the people. Money has become a neces
sity to sustain life in legitimate busi
ness, the same as food to animal life.
And no one should be allowed, for the
purpose of speculating and gambling
in it, to hinder its freest circulation,
for then it becomes a dangerous me
dium and too often works detriment to
the producing masses.
Therefore, I would suggest in con
nection with paragraphs 1 and 2 as
a remedy that there be a United States
law enacted prohibiting private indi
viduals, combines and corporations
from loaning money at any interest
and placing heavy penalty for the vio
lation of it the same as on counter
feiting of money.
Then the people could deposit their
money with the United States govern
ment who would never rob depositors
by closing its doors or by giving thera
paper issued by a concern that was
already Insolvent and would close its
doors in" a few days.
The government would always have
money on hand without issuing interest-bearings
bonds to borrow money on
and burdening the people with taxes
to pay Shylock interest on them.
Andbeing the only lender of money,
It could loan it in reasonable amounts
for legitimate purposes on good se
curity at about 2 to 3 per cent per
annum; the interest going into the
United States treasury would benefit
the masses by reducing taxes for He
running expenses Even he who bor
rowed would receive his share col
lectively with the masses. I believe
such plan would be popullstlc and
purely democratic and could be ac
cepted by single taxers, socialists and
all others who have the wellfare of the
masses at heart.
As far back as we can trace the
money changers, as a class, their his
tory is bad. When Christ came on
earth and denounced them, they
bribed one Judas Iscariot for 30 pieces
of silver to betray him, but Judas re
pented himself, saying: "I have sinned
In that I have betrayed the innocent
blood." And he cast down the pieces
of silver in the temple, and departed,
and went and hanged himself. St.
Matthew XXVII, 4-5.
What a blessing it would be to the
masses if all the bribed, including leg
islators, congressmen and judiciary,
would so soon after repent, throw
down the bribe and , hang themselves
instead of remaining in office like
John Sherman, Grover Cleveland and
other officeholders of that class.
Judging money changers by the past
and present, one of common sense
must conclude that the masses, singly
as individuals and collectively as a
nation, 'will always be hampered and
made to suffer more or less loss by
them as long as the old Shylock sys
tem of loaning money continues.
The Historical, Political and Sta
tistical Hand Book of Money, edited
by Gordon Clark, is the most complete
concentrated, authentic history of the
money changers that I have ever read.
It gives dates, acts, fads and figures
which will show on careful study that
Shylocks control a majority in our
lawmaking bodies and judiciary who
are full of low, cunning accomplices
of Shylock.
They claim to be men of principle,
but the laws they enact and decisions
they render do not show it, for they
are class laws and class decisions and
endanger the wellfare and liberty of
the masses.
Here is a sample of corporation bank
system. This institution was chartered
under the name of United States Bank.
Its amount of bank note circulation in
1813-1814 was about $45,000,000. - In
1817 it had risen to $100,000,000. In
1819 it had fallen bacl; to $45,000,000.
In August, 1819, twenty thousand peo
ple were out of employment in Phila
delphia, with like results in New York,
Baltimore and other cities. In 1820,
wheat was 20 cents a bushel in Ken
tucky. Flour was a dollar a barrel
at Pittsburg; lumber $2 a thousand.
But as imports held their price, a
pound of coffee was worth a bushel and
a half of wheat;, a pound of tea, ex
changed for a barrel of flour; and a
yard of broadcloth would buy , twelve
and a half barrels of flour.
The senate of Pennsylvania ap
pointed a committee to investigate the
public condition, v On the 20th of Jan
uary, 1820, the committee submitted
its report. In part it said: "Your
committee can safely assert that a dis
tress unexampled In our country since
the period of its Independence prevails
throughout the commonwealth. .This
distress exhibits itself uflder the vari
ous forms of ruinous sacrifice of land
ed property at sheriffs' sales,, whereby
In many cases lands and houses have
been sold at less than half, a third or
a fourth of their former value, thereby
depriving of their homes and of the
fruits of labors for years a vast num
ber of our Industrious farmers, some
of whom have been driven to seek in
the uncultivated forests of the west
that shelter of which they have , been
deprived in their native state. A gen
eral scarcity of money throughout the
country which renders It almost im
possible for the husbandman or other
owners of real estate to borrow at a'
usurious interest, and where lander!
security or the most indubitable char
acter is offered as a pledge.
"A general suspension of labor, the
only legitimate source of wealth. In
our cities and towns, by which thou
sands of our most useful citizens are
rendered destitute of means of sup
port, and reduced to the extremity of
poverty and despair. Usurious extor
tions, whereby corporations instituted
for, banking, insurance and other pur
poses in violation of law possess them
selves of the products of industry
without giving an equivalent."
The year before, in 1818, a commit
tee of the New York state legislature
reported that, "Of all aristocracies,
none more completely enslaved a peo
ple than that of money; and in the
opinion of your committee, no system
was ever better devised so perfectly
to enslave a community as that of the
present mode of conducting banking
establishments. Like the siren of the
fable, they entice to destroy. They
hold the purse strings of society, and,
by monopolizing the whole of the cir
culating medium, they form a precari
ous standard, thus rendering the whole
community dependent upon them; pre-

scribing every t man i who dare to ex
pose their unlawful practices. ; ; If he
happens to be out of their reach, so
as to require no favors from them, his
friends are made the victims; so no
one dare complain. The committee,
on taking a general view of our state,
and comparing those parts where
banks have been for some time estab
lished with those that have none, are
.astonished . at the, alarming disparity.
They see in' the one case-the desola
tion they have made in societies that
were before prosperous and happy;
the ruin they have, brought on an
immense number, pf the more wealthy
farmers, they and their families sud
denly hurled' from wealth and inde
pendence into the abyss of ruin and
dlspair. If the facts stated in the
foregoing be true (and your committee
have no doubt they are) together with
other equally reprehensible and to be
dreaded, such as that their influence
too frequently, nay; often already be
gins to assume a species of dictation
altogether alarming, unless some ju
dicious remedy is provided by legis
lative wisdom we shall soon witness
attempts to control- all selections to
office in our counties nay, the elec
tions to the very legislature. Sena
tors and members of assembly will be
indebted to the banks for their seats
in this, capital; and thus the wise end
of our civil Institutions will be pros
trated, in the dust of corporations of
their own raising."
In 1837, the" aforesaid United States
Bank suspended rwith some $40,000,000
of government funds In their posses
sion, and that brought about Presi
dent Jackson's "divorce of bank and
state," as Benton called it, and led to
the passage by congress, in 1840, of
the independent treasury act, which
took from the banks all custody of
government funds.
In 1841, the bank power procured the
repeal of the act, but in 1846, it was re
enacted and remained in force until
1861, being then suspended that the
secretary of the United States treas
ury might step into the old trap of de
positing government money with
"specie-paying . banks."
Since then these money changers
have had the use of millions of the
government funds. to enable them to
carry on their pernicious work of cor
rupting, bribing, etc.
In the latter part of 1861 when the
bill was made ! public which author
ized the issue of greenbacks that were
to circulate the same as coin at their
face value with the words printed on
the back: "The within is a legal ten
der in payment' of all debts, public
and private, and lis exchangeable for
bonds of the United States bearing 6
per centum Interest at twenty years,
or in 7 per cent bonds at five years,"
the people were pleased with it, and
letters were ; sent by boards of trade
from different cities to congress urg
ing the passage of the bill; but the
bank fraternity rose against it. Why?
Because it proposed the kind of mon
ey that had been advocated by Frank
lin, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Jack
son, Calhoun and 'Taylor, to supple
ment gold andsllver in place of bank
bills. It was a 'government note, re
deemable in taxes, a safe and sound
currency for the,., people, and should
the people obtain such money and un-
derstand It, it M6uld soon end the is-r;
suing of bank-bills 1 5 " ;
This same fear, of the bankers, some
time later, was again manifest by the
official representative ' of the National
Bankers' association, one James Buell,
who sent to the bankers . throughout
the country a circular saying: "Dear
Sir: It 13 advisable to do all in your
power to sustain such daily and week
ly newspapers, j especially, the agri
cultural and religious press, as will
oppose the issuing of greenback paper
money, and that you also withhold
patronage or favors from all who will
not oppose the., government Issue of
money. Let the government issue the
coin and the banks issue the paper
money of the country; for then we can
better protect each other. To repeal
the law. creating-, national banks or to
restore to circulation the government
issue of money, will be to provide the
people with money and will, therefore,
seriously affect your individual profits
as bankers and lenders. See your
member of. congress at once and en
gage him to support our interest that
we may control legislation."
, This is the fraternity that rose
against the legal tender greenback
bill when it was made public. A dele
gation of bankers from New York,
Boston and Philadelphia hurried to
Washington. They organized and went
to work on congress January 11, 1862,
but they could not influence the repre
sentatives elected direct by the people,
but in the senate, which is elected
direct by the people, they found the
tools they-wanted. And on February
25, 1862, the greenback came to the
people showing the stab of Shylock.
It was crippled, deprived of its legal
tender In payment of import duties
and interest on public debt; it was
only a legal tender to pay soldiers,
farmers and the rest of the common
herd, but not a legal tender to pay the
favored class (money changers) their
interest. It showed favoritism to Shy
lock and showed the return of the
tigress which Thomas Benton men
tioned in 1841, when referring to the
overthrow of the bank by Jackson, he
said: "We have driven the tigress to
the jungles, but I fear that some day
she will return, bringing her whelps
with her."
When they Influenced the United
States senate to cripple the people's
legal tender greenback by inserting
the exception clause it enabled them to
extort from Importers $285 in green
backs for $100 in gold to pay impot c
duties with. Of course the importers
marked it up on the goods and the
consumer had it to pay when he
bought tea, coffee, etc. The same ex
ception clause also enabled them to
force the depreciation of the green
back until it took $285 of it to buy
$100 of gold which the same act forced
the government to pay them in inter
est. - By that one pernicious act they
nearly doubled the war debt between
the north and south.
And now after paying them about

$4,000,000,000 interest on it, the masses
are no nearer out of their , clutch than
when the war closed in 1865. And yet
this enormous amount, which the cor
rupting of congress caused the masses
to pay them, is small compared with
the amount of interest on individual
loans which the masses have been
forced to pay this Shylock, who is not
a product of wealth, but a concentra
tor, or, in other words, a curse to the
country he lives in, for he is an ex
tortioner, a corrupter of the . ballot,
councils, . legislatures, ; United , States
congress and judiciary. Regardless of
sacrifice of life, he encourages war for
sake of gain, the burden of which falls
on the masses. He aids stock gam
bling and encourages gambling in the
necessaries of life, brings on panics
and sometimes closes his doors on the
people's deposits, and does other sim
ilar acts too numerous to mention, all
of which are unbecoming a good citi
zen and is injurious to the masses.
Trace the money changers as far
back as we may, and we will find them
as a rute, as Senator Yoorhees stated
when he said of 'the American money
power, "Not a patriotic act ,can be
found in its history. It neither volun
teered its services nor submitted to a
draft. Its support of the government
was purchased at the highest price
ever paid by a bleeding public. It was
IJ. truth a traitor to the existence of
the uniona baser traitor than he who
fought to destroy it on the field of bat
tle. It hid itself from danger and sold
its assistance only for enormous pay,
while the rebel soldier offered his life
on the field of battle for nothing, ex
cept his devotion to an erroneous
principle. While the soldiers of the
north, too, were freely going to the
front by the million, the capitalist,
who now tramples upon them and their
children, were allured from their safe
retreats, in the midst of their hoard
ed treasures, only by vast golden
bribes. Neither in law nor in equity,
neither in the right of human courts
nor courts divine, have they any claim
upon the forbearance or gratitude of
the American people."

The Iowa Revolt.
Altogether the Iowa outbreak has
done more to disturb the equanimity
of the party in power than anj'thing
which has before happened in a long
time. It has been observable to most
republican leaders that the rise of
trust monopoly under the policy of
high tariff, to which the party is so
stoutly tied, would inevitably soma
day cause trouble In the party ranks,
and it is just when they are busier
than ever trying to put that day over
again into the indefinite future, that
this outburst comes. - To them it is
disgustingly untimely, to say the least.
It is indicative that the question of
tariff revision against trust monopoly
cannot longer be kept in the back
ground, or out of the party councils

Favorite
Schiller
The Schiller Piano has always been the favorite with people wishing
a really good Piano at a moderate price. In, short, it has not a
single equal at' the price. Their success along this line has in
epired the company to attempt something higher. The new High
Grade Schiller is the result. "This, like the medium grade, is the
best yet produced for the money. The price is necessarily some
higher, but just as low in proportion to quality.
