much as any power in Europe pays for
She same objects. It is more than we
raid in tuxes for the entire support t)t
"ho government as lately as tost year.
The amount -Secretary Alger asks for
'hr army alone is more than Germany

subject ourselves to a inydea twice as

nil of Mr. Rockefeller's gigantic in¬

moderate means is taxed to the earth.
Is that right? The Democracy does
not think so. It. believes.that incomes

The organization of ihcse schools is
tiecoming widespread. The movement
was started by Mr. George Burr Smith,
attorney, of Chicago, Ill. a number
ot years ago, when a teacher In a
■country pr-hooh Mr. Smith observed,
while explaining examples in exchange
to a class in arithmetic, that, an in¬
creasing rate of exchange, with India,
China. Japan, the South American
states, and aii eountrie- using the
silver standard, would cause untold
depression in this country; for, prices
being fixed in tho countries using the
cheaper mono* would necessarily be
reduced tn this country, just in pro¬
portion as the rate of exchange in¬
creased. In 1895 tho rate of exchange
had doubled, so that our prices had
decreased one-half, The effect was
foil more in this country, as we were a
debtor nation, so that no matter how
much prices decreased, our debts roust
be paid With the dearer money.
i tie organization of these schools re
quires no ciaboi-ato spcech making:
leaflets are furnished containing
problems which show, first, the cause
of HI the low price, next the effect upon
the producing classes. A ihird list of
problems show the foreclosure of
mortgages which follows a rising
money standard. Examples are also
given which show the distribution of
the wealth Of the nation, the rise of
powerful corporations, and the effect
upon labor.
Leaflets for r school of twenty-five
members may he obtained from the
local Democratic or silver committees.
Collections arc taken at the close of
toe meeting;) to pay for the literature
’>tid tho expenses of the County organ
iration in furthering the movement.

Approving Treat*.
From the Chicago Chronicle; A new
combination in restraint of trade has
been organized in the state o£ -New Jer¬
sey, where eight of the large rubber
companies, manufacturing ali kinds of
rubber goods, excepting shoes and
clothing, consolidated with a capital of
$5,000,000. At its meeting in Wash
ington the National Board of Trade
bad under consideration the question
of trusts am! combines. The resolution
was offered requesting congress io use
its power to prevent combinations re¬
strictive of full and free competition.
This resolution failed because it did
not receive the necessary two-thirds
vote. The resolution was irrelevant,
because the fact is that congress did
all that it could reasonably be ex¬
pected to do when it. passed the Sher¬
man anti-trust bill, which U now upon
the statute book as a law. If, va de¬
feating the resolution Inimical to eom
btnationa, the board had gone a step
.urthor and piaced itself on record as
commending the chief magistrate of
lhe United States for failure to enforce
(he Sherman anti-trust law, notwith¬
standing repeated, manifest, notorious,
current violations of the same, it would
have proceeded quite in accordance
with it-c failure to express itself as hos
'i)e to 5 Illicit combinations, out of
which one of its members said “he
himself was making something
seme." The national administration
gives no efficacy to the voice of mm
vress condemning combinations in re¬
straint of trade and holds Idle in this
respect every one of the Hutted States
district attorneys tho republic over.

Pledged the faith of the, I’nited States

It is not pretended by any one that the

that it has at any time undertaken to

money volume the banks will be aDle
to expand the currency and lend short
dollars and then contract the tiH-fSilfy

, batiks the powers to manipulate the
money volume so as to transfer the
wealth of the country Into the bands
o£ the money-lending classes with no
check upon them and no regulator ex¬
cept the greed of the bankers.
1 nder the operation of this bill the
bankers will be able to bankrupt, at.
pleasure, not only such individuals as
oppose their sway but the whole conn
try ns Weil, Under the threat of their
dlspleasitre they expect to be able to
overawe the people individually and
collectively.
—
The republican party did not dare
make this demand of the banks a part
of the Si. Bouts platform. They well,
knew that to do so would mean over
whelmlng defeat. The republican vot
ers of the country are not in favor of
this measure. The republican party is
not openly pledged to It. That "the
hsnkers exacted a pledge from Chair
man Hanna, before contributing to
* be campaign fund, is not doubted;
1U1! s n bou >ted Hint the , pledge
was giVch. , The chairman of the
re*
publican national committee, in giving
Mich a pledge did not represent the
sentiments of the individual members
o! tJie PffTty.
The republican leaders are afraid of
this measure.. They wish to avoid it,
but the bankers are instating upon It
as a quid pro quo for the campaign
fund furnished. President McKinley's
position upon this measure Is evasive
at the present time. He is throwing
up straws to ascertain the direction
and force of the -winds on this, -as lie
does on all other matters. He knows
' be power of the bankers, as a. factor
in politics, and inclines to favor them
and will do so unless he becomes con
’■ ineed ;that. to'dp so will, compass the
political downfall of himself and his
party.
—
The republican politicians are more
afraid of the bank question than they
are of the silver question, and they
would avoid another encounter upon
that issue if they could. The American
people cannot be thrown into n panic
over the question of a gold standard or
bimetallism. Thev remember that
from 1861 to 1879 the. business off the
country was transacted without the use
of cither gold or silver, except as an
annoyance caused by a vicious clause.
in the law creating the greenback and
reserving a special function for and’ the
metals. In 1861. when both silver
gold left us with a war on our hands
more terrible than any war we are
likely ever again to encounter, the
greenback was born to save the life of
She nation. It, did its work well The
boys in blue remember it and to them
it is a sacred institution. The bovs in
gray appreciate it because no other
form of money in circulation in the
North would have possessed the power
to defeat them.
Gold ami silver money knows no flag.
It only knows the money kings of
earth ta whom it flies whenever there
is danger. The greenback and the
flag arc Americans. They ure em
blems of sovereignty. As the, flag
commands the. love and affection or
owr people, so the greenback is potent
to vUalizc every nerve and arm and
Place the resources of the nation be
hind the flag as it did from JSG1 to
1.868, That Object lesson cannot
lost during the lives of those who par
•he Republican leaders not to lay vio
lent bands upon the greenback and
abandon any notion they may ha?e
a return to wild cat bank money.

Ait evidence of what the people can
expect from a Republican congress was
in the prompt passage, almost
without debate, of what is known as
the anti-scalping bill, that is, the bill
to prevent the sale of railroad tickets
by others than the authorized agents of
the roads. Mr. Bland bluntly..stated
that the purpose of the bill was to le¬
galizing pooling of passenger traffic, and
to take away from the states, as far as
possible. Jurisdiction over this busi¬
ness, Mr. Uptlegraff (Rep.) of liliaois
made a warm speech in opposition to
the bill. He could not, lie said, allow
to monstrous a proposition as this bill
contained, U> pass Without a word. It
ought to-be entitled, “A Bill t© Sffp
press' Competition in Passenger Tiaf
fie.” Debate’ was cut off, and the, bill
rushed to its passage, the vote standing
lib for and 101 against toe measure,
This bill has been pushed by the
railroads in almost every conceivable
manner for the past two years, says
the Journal of Agriculture, their object
being precisely what Mr. Bland stated,
to Pool the passenger traffic of the
country and evade the restrictions of
too interstate commerce law.' if the
1)511 should get through the senate and
lerotne a law, as it will during the
n<sxt session, If not. this, the traveling
P« b! ic will be at the mercy of the rail
roa,ls - and the people know very well
how to appreciate the quality of that
mercy. But some day the people
themselves will own the railroads, and
then it will be different,

nothing inherent in a taste for field
