Bankers' Association to all national
banks, March 12, 1895.
Dear Sir—The interest of national
bankers require immediate financial
legislation by congress. Silver, silver
certificates and treasury notes must be
retired and the national bank notes,
upon a gold basis, made the only money.
This will require the authorization of
from $500,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 of
new bonds as a. basis of circulation.
You will at once retire one-third of
your circulation and call in one-half of
your loans. .Be careful to make a mon-

On Jan. 27th in an editorial In the
New York Recorder appeared the fol-
lowing:
The true and very obvious explana-
tion of the matter is that It is a run ou
the treasury, deliberately and care-
fully planned by the syndicates of gold
and bond dealers that have, ever since
March 4, 1894, used Mr. Cleveland and
his secretary of the treasury as pup-
pets, and made them dance whenover
they chose to cleverly pull the strings.
Their aim now is to start another panic
like the one they manufactured in the
summer of 1893, in order to frighten the
democratic congress into passing "the
silver repeal bill. On this occasion
their object is to intimidate congress
into passing a blanket bond bill, cloth-
ing Mr. Carlisle with full authority to
issue bonds and buy gold Indefinitely,
or, at least, to the extent of five hun-
dred millions.

A LESSON IN NATIONAL FINANCE.
THE BOND SALE SCANDAL.
On Jan. jRth the following meeting
was held in New York.*
Advice of York liu lue*s Men.
One hundred members of the New
York chamber of commerce met yester-
day nnd passed a resolution adopting
the report of its committee on finauce
and currency, appointed to consider th£
financial needs of the country. The
resolution was put by Chairman Orr,
and there was but one dissenting vote,
that of William P. St. John. The reso-
lution ordered that copies of the report
be sent to President Cleveland, Secre-
tary of the Treasury Carlisle and to the
finance committees of both houses in
Washington immediately. The copies
were mailed within an hour.
After suggesting that no feasible cur-
rency plan can be adopted until confi-
dence in tho stability of the national
currency and the ability of tho govern-
ment to redeem Its obligation in gold
is manifested, both here and abroad,
the committee in ltareport says:
To this end, in the Judgment of your
committee, there should be no further
delay on the part of congress in author-

Country Denounces It.
The folly of the new bond contract,
now that Its terms are published, Is al-
most incredible.
The resources of our country are im-
measurably greater than fftose of
France or England. Yet the adminis-
tration has based its bargain with tho
bankers upon tho assumption that 3%
per nt is the lowest interest rate at
which we can expect t§ borrow money,
when French rentfs and British con-
sols are everywhere deemed desirable
Investments at 2V4 per cent.
Our own 4 per cents with twelve
years to run are eagerly sought for
Investments at 110 and above, which
would make these new bonds worth
about 119. Yet the treasury has
agreed to 6el> sixty odd millions of them
at about 104. *
The treasury thus consents to a
bargain which puts us as a nation
upon a credit basis scarcely better
than that of a South American repub-
lic. It consents to pay a rate of inter-
est which, if it*were applied to British
or French securities, would breed in-
the trade of the New York butchers,
the butchers' associations in other cities
were notified. The result, he says, Is
a boycott of that particular brand
wherever it has heretofore been sold.
The grocers last week followed fhe ex-
ample of the butchers. The Retail
Grocers union is one of the strongest
tra<Te organizations in the city, having
an active membership of over 1,200.
There are as many more retail dealers
In the city who do not belong to the
unicrtj, but they are almost as a unit in
west, north %nd south alike bear the
same testimony, of a tendeifcy toward
European conditions. A few figures
taken at random illustrate the situa-
tion:
In Rhode Island not quite 20 per cent
of tho farms were occupied by tenants
in 1880, while in 1890 over 25 per cent
were so occupied. In Vermont during
the same period the increaso Is from 13
per cent to 17 per cent, while in Massa-
chusetts In 1880 8.18 per cent of farms
were occupied by tenants, in 1890 over
15 per cent. In the south, land mort-
gages are not so common as in the
west and the bulk of debt is represented
by crop liens, as cotton is more readity
turned Into money. The per cent of ten-
ant farmers In Gtorgla Increased from
1880 to 1890 from 44 per cent to 58 per
ceyt. In Tennessee during the same
period the Increase Is from#34 per cent
to 41 per cent. As a fair Index of the
west: In Minnesota In 1880, 9 per cent
of the farms were hired and In 1890, 15
per cent, while over 39 per cent of the
farms are mortgaged, making 54 per
cent that are virtually tenants, as the
occupant of a mortgaged home pays
interest to the mortgagee amounting to
a rent, not unfrequently greater than
the tenant neighbor who makes no
pretense of ownership.
The mortgage statistics present a sit
uatioa that cannot but be viewed with
alarm. In the state of Kansas the

figures illustrate the situation in the
center of the great agricultural regions
of the west.

8,250,000 were tenants occupying hired
homes, leaving the number of 2,190,152

"KEEP OUT OF POLITICS."

So you think politics has nothing to
do with your wages or chance of getting
employment, or your debts or poverty,
eh?
The banker tells you so.
Tfre politician tells you so.
The monopolist tells you so.
The people who live well and do
nothing tell you so.
Isn't It funny that all of these people
are all of one mind?
All these people live off of some-
body.
Do ytu know who that somebody is?
All these people are very anxious
about tho elections.
Do you ever ask yourself why?
It politics has nothing to do with you
why are they so Interested?
Do you think they are fools to spend
their time and money on something
there is nothing In for them?
And if there is something in It for
them, who pays that something? •
Why can't you see a little bit under
the surface?.
Have they trained you like a soldier
so you can't think but obey onlers?
Why are they so anxious that you
don't vote with tho cranks?
Why all this solicitude?
Politics has everything to do with
yourewages and employment.
It can render millions of you Idle so
you will have to work cheap, or It can
have all of you busy getting big wages.
They don't want you to find this out.
They want you for a voting machine

Honest Money. °
Talk ^bout an .honest dollar! The.
most dishonest dollar in the world is
the one that by a steady increase in its
purchasing power enables wealth hour
by hour, tS rob labor. That dollar Is
essentially and fiendishly dishonest
which compels the man who has prom-
ised to pay the value of a bushel of
wheat to satisfy a del*, to surrender
the value of two bushels in order to
acquit the claim. A dollar that is daily
acquiring a greater command over hu-
man labor and its products is not hon-
est—it is a footpad. It enables the
rich to grind the faces of the poor. It
helps the speculator to acquire a title
to your home for a fraction of its value.
It renders it unsafe to contract a lia-
bility or promise a future payment. It
robs every producer of wealth who has
been compelled to contract a d< >t. It
Impoverishes the plowholder to fatten
the bondholder. This "honest dollar''
which we hear so much about is the
greatest cheat and liar on the face of
the earth. It is not only a fraud and a
Rwlnfte, but an oppressor and a robber.
It has compelled the American people
to pay the money thejsborrowed to car-
ry on the war for the union twice over,
and still leaves them vastly more in
debt, measured in units of wheat or cot-
ton than when they made tho loan.
Tell me that <?vory thief In the peniten-
tiary Is an honest man. and I will bo-
lieve It. sooner than admit that your

pickpocket—Star and Kansan.

mtst encouraging symptoms of the in-
dustrial situation. To be sure, some
shallow reasouers, even among the la-
bor leaders, are contending that it is
not advisable to strike, that they always
fail and that they are too costly. It is
a trifle odd that so many union work-
lngmen are misled by this casuistry.
The strike is the one Instrument feared
by capital. The capitalist is always
contending that strikes are costly to
the workingman and lose him bread,
butter and employment. How very al-
truistic is the capitalist! He is influ-
enced solely by considerations for the |
worklngman's welfare tn deprecating
strikes.
The great trouble with the strike is the
dfficulty in leacyng it. Thero can be
no doubt that at some not distant day
the laborers will secure a competent
leader who, profiting by the experience
of his predecessors, will organize a bril-
liantly successful strike. What the
capitalists fear is a strike organized
six months in advance, with preconcert-
ed plans to prevent the transportation
of scabs to the scene of hostilities. In
other words, it is a principle of the aft
of war, that military science can only
be met by military science. The strike
of the near future will be organized on
strictly military principles and led by
a man who is capable of planning a
campaign on strategical principles.
The coming man will be a tactician, in
short. Not that there will be pitched
battles. There are the courts to deal
witn. The most gigantic strike could
be maintained for weeks without in-
volving any breach of the statutes.
What has been said implies no reflec-
tion upon the brave, able and disinter-
ested men who have led the strikes of
the past. Theirs has been a hard lot
and they will not be forgotten. But it
is to be hoped that no workingman will
permit himself to be convinced by the
capitalist that he should never go on a
.strike. The strike is the coming power.
