The Paradise of Bonliolders
Since 1860, the people of the Uni¬
ted States of America have been
“robbed” of over $11,5000,000,000
and in detail as follows:
The ‘‘Undivided Prfits” of less
than 40C0 national banks since 1863
ou a capital which never equaled
$700,000,000 was the appalling sum
of over $7,000,000 which is about
froty per cent. “pROEin” per annum !
“The “surplus” of those same
is now over $200,000,000!
The “interest” paid to the national
bondholders from 1861 to 1891 was
over $2,550,000,000!
The “premiums” paid to them
from 1888 to 1891 was over $50,000,s
000?
The ‘principal’of the bonds which
has been paid between 1865 and
1891 was over $1,700,000,000!
Tbe “debt,” in bonds, in 1866 was
$625,000,000, and in 1891 it is less
than $600,000,000 although in 1869
it was over $2 300,000,000 and still
it will take more cotton, or corn, or
hay, or wheat, or ether products of
the people to pay the remainder of
the bonds than it would to have
paid the whole debt in 1869!
The people rule in America, and
so long as they are content to be
robbed, “by due process of law,”
the “bond bolder’ ought not to be
blamed for enjoying his “paradise,”
but still the qustion arises: Why
don’t tbe people make the money
and “pay” the debi?
The nation which can make good
bonds, can make better money!
Toe nation which can make its
“coins” on meteal, can make thorn
on paper. ma^e^Tts
The nation which can
paper money with a ‘promise’ on its
“coins’" on metal, can make them on
paper.
Tbe nation which can make its
paper money with a “promise” on
its face, can make it without that
promise.
The nation which can make its
“greenbacks’' with an exception on
their back,can make them without
that exception.
The nation which can make its
“declaratory” money on medal, can
make it on paper.
Tbe nation which can pay one of
its “coins” into ciiculation, can pay
enough of them into circulation to
get as well as to Keep the nation out
of debt
The nation which can’t or wont
keep out of debt, has no right to
exist.
The “loan’ system whether by na¬
tions, means “lenders” and “borro¬
wers” or “lords” and slaves, the final
being tbe overthrow of the
government which permits such an
infamous system of robbory to exist.
The pay system by nations, cor¬
porations, and individuals, means
freedom from debt; the final result
being tbe Millenium of Jesus.
The person who can’t think is an
idiot.
The person who wou’t thing is a
fool.
The person who fears to think is a
coward.
The person whodares to talk about
evils and suggest remedies is a pa¬
triot.
The people whocan’tor won’t con¬
trol their public servanip, onght not
to have any. t
The impeachment of Andrew
Johnin 1867 was carried through
congress because he said that five
years interest was enoug for tbe
bondholders.
The Crucifixion of Jesns was de~
in anded by the mob because
he wanted a system ot society in
w Inch ho person could s'eal and all
who would not work should starve
but those who could not work should
not want.
The American people are too busy
toiling for their oppressors to stop
and free themselves of their own ins
famous legislation, but somehow
and somewhere a Moses will come
who will show the people how to
stop making bricks for their bond
masteas over in the Bank of England
but not yet.
They must pass through the Red
Sea of bankruptcy before thej T will
throw away their false gods.
They mnst learn that money is ~ a

some nation. —Workers Herald.

The sensation in Thomas
county is the drying up f of Ja
monia lake. Fve hundred peo¬
ple visited the place Sunday,
and crowds go there daily. On
the wide waste of mud count¬
less numpers of turtle, terrapin,
fish and eels wriggle, squirm
and crawl about in vain search
of water. Many of the finest
of these have been carried
off. Five hundsed turtles were
carried away Sunday, and 1500
ten pound trout the day before.
Fifty yards away there is a
pond covering several acres,
with as much water as ever,
and here the aligators from the

The editors of periodicals at the pres¬
ent time have undoubtedly the disar
greeable task of reading much poetry
which Is not only “unavailable,” but
utterly without merit; still, as the taste
of tiie majority of readers in this gen¬
eration is for that which is cheerful in
poetry as well as in prose, it is not
likely that any editor today would
have such a depressing list of rejected
contributions as the one printed in a
magazine which beam a date over fifty
years ago.
“My Wife’s Grave,” “Midnight,”
“Lament Over the Grave of a Wife,”
“The Poet’s I)o6m,” “Reflections,”
“On Hearing the Eulogy of a New
Friend," “Vengeance," “Let Me Weep,”
“Tiie Poetry of Tears” and “Alone.”
Such are the titles of these unavailable
poems.
It appears that the articles accepted
were of much the same character, al¬
though they probably displayed marks
of genius which induced the afflicted
editor to accept them: “Autumn Mus
ings,” “The Last Song Bird,” “The
Mourner,” “The Bereaved,” “Shadows
of the Past,” “Solitude" and “Passing
A way. ”
If any poems of a more cheerful or¬
der were received, they were certainly
not considered worthy of any notice in
that number of the magazine.—Youth’s'
