farmers, mounted on blanketed horses,
rode into town about 2 o'clock this
morning and demanded of Sheriff
Payne that he crive up his prisoner,
Crawford, one of the men who rob-
bed the bank yesterday.
The sheriff refused and told the
crowd that he would defend the pris-
oner with his life. After some par-
leying and a promise from the sheriff
that lie would not remove Crawford
from the county the mob departed.
Crawford has made an additional
confession that there was a plan to
rob several banks.

IN A PREDICAMENT.
GOLD USED TO PAY- CURRCNT
EXPENSES.
Will'® an Knornous Surplus of Other
Money Lay In the Treasury—The Gold
Reserve Myth Exploded—Bondholders
on Top.
Although the administration ob-
tained by the sale of bonds during last
year $117,380,282 for the alleged pur-
pose of redeeming greenbacks and
treasury notes, yet Mr. Carlisle is now
forced to admit officially that wiyi the
exception of $12,378,451 every dollar of
that gold was used to pay the current
expenses of the government. The exact
amount of gold used for meeting cur-
rent expenses was- $105,002,143.
The report of the treasurer further
shows that on July 1, 1894, the unex-
pended balances of appropriations ag-
gregated $78,291,105, and the total
amount available for expenditures on
that date was $364,616,414, making the
total available appropriation on July 1,
1894, $442,907,520. The expenditures
during the six months ended December
31, 1894, amounted to $168,952,480, leav-
ing an unexpended balance on January
1, 1895, of $255,955,039.
You see the bonds were issued to
keep up the gold reserve.
Wonder why the proceeds were used
for current expenses.
The republicans like Reed, say he-
cause of lack of revenue.
Somebody has surely lied.
With $250,000,000 of surplus in the
treasury, it is strange that the gold-
worshiping administration should have
allowed the sacred gold reserve to be
spent for anything else except to main-
tain the parity of gold and silver.
Funny government, anyway, that
mortgages the country to buy gold to
pay current expenses when it already
has a surplus that it can't appropriate
fast enough to keep it from crowding
the vaults.
This is an awful condition that so
much money should get piled up in the
way of the policy of the administration
to issue $500,000,000 of bonds.
This is a predicament.
Why don't Congress get a hustle on
itself and appropriate money to buy
more guns?
Clear the deck—get this base money
out of the way, so that the President
can store up the gold he is buying.
Money must not be allowed to accu-
mulate when all the money lenders of
the world are clamoring for a chance to
lend us gold on fifty-year bonds.
They must be accommodated, or they
will bust—and great will be the bust
thereof.
The parity of gold and silver must be
preserved if we have to buy all the gold
in the world to do it.
Just as soon as we get all the gold,
then the money lenders will restore sil-
ver and we can buy that at the same
lyice.
We must save the money lenders. If
we don't Grover won't get his pay
from Mr. Rothschilds. Here's all this
confounded money piled up here, and
when the people see it, they are liable
to kick us off the continent for borrow-
ing more
We must appropriate or perish.
The gold reserve was a good scheme—
but now we're in a pretty mess of
bugs.
The papers have been prying into
the private affairs of the government,
and found that we had plenty of money
all the time.
The bondholders are losing confi-
dence and some of them are getting
scared.
They have awful dreams at night
of dynamite and wet elm clubs and
hemp, and "death to interest bearing
bonds."
The President now has a lyindred
policemen to guard his palace, and he
gets letters every day from working-
men asking where they can find a Job.
He actually waked up right in the mid-
dle of the night one time lately and
wondered what the people were kick-
ing about. He is prosperous — isn't
that what they elected him for?
Even the fossilized old mummy show
in the Senate is startled to think that
the people should want to know what
the government is doing.
clans who are sent to Congress or who
become members of the cabinet are not
capable cf mastering the intricacies of
the banking business."
Something occult about the banking
business, isn't there? Ordinary mor-
tals can't comprehend this idea of get-
ting in debt for thousands of dollars,
and then drawing interest on your
debts while you pay none on what you
owe! This business of cornering money
and compelling people to pay you a big
rate for the loan on your credit or your
promissory notes, is indeed a puzzle.
Yes, it is a very peculiar and "intri-
cate" business—almost as hard to un-
derstand as three-card monte or the
shell game. As politicians and repre-
sentatives of the people are incapable
of comprehending it, the only safe
course is to give the bankers the power
to frame our currency laws. As they
are now, the money power is able to
control about everything; but there
may be some points in which the bank-
ers could improve these laws, and
make it easier to rake in the fruits of
others' labor.
How nice if the common people could
only be made to believe such stuff-
that finance is a matter utterly beyond
their comprehension, and it would be
safer for them to try to legislate on the
tides and the law of gravitation than
to tamper with the currency. Wouldn't
the fellows on the inside who under-
stand all the "intricacies" of getting
something for nothing by hocus-pocus-
ing the money supply have a picnic?
If money were something the people
could take or let alone; if the law
didn't make it a legal tender and com-
pel them to pay their debts in it; if it
wasn't the only means by which they
can conveniently and economically
effect the exchanges of their products,
then it might be safe to pass the sub-
ject by as too intricate for ordinary
mortals. But, as it is largely by means
of their manipulation of the money
supply that the few are able to rob the
many of the fruits of their toil, it be-
hooves every man to study the money
questions and understand all the
devious and "intricate" methods by
which wealth uses money to oppress
and defraud labor. And about the
first question to ask these masters of
the "intricacies" of banking is: Why
should one man's debt circulate as
money and draw interest rather than
another's?—Star and Kansan.

>Vhat Fools These Laborers He.
A few days ago 100.000 laborers pa-
raded the streets of tuj City of Mexico,
with banners and music, demanding to
be led against Guatemala. There is a
dispute between Mexico and Guate-
mala about a piece of swamp which
probably isn't worth 10 cents per acre,
and whose ownership could easily be
settled by resurvey or arbitration. It
has never done the laborers of either
country any good, and never will. Yet
these 100,000 Mexican laborers parade
the streets, clamoring for war! Is it
any wonder that tyrants, in so many
pes, rule the people when we see
that the people themselves a.-e such
fools? The kings quarrel, and the peo-
ple do the fighting—that's the history
of mankind. Here we are pretending
to be civilized. Almost 1,900 years of
Christ and his gospel of peace have
been our teachers, and yet we turn out,
100,000 strong, with banners flying,
drums beating, and horns tooting—de-
manding to b<J led against bayonets
and bullets to settle the boundary line
of a wretched wilderness of swamp! No
wonder our masters despise us—Tom
Watson.

Six years ago this month August Bel-
mont stood in the sawdust of Madison
Square Garden and awarded ribbons to
stump tailed fox terriers. At that time
his fame rested on the ownership of
the champion brace of tlie gamy breed
which was the height of canine vogue.
As bench show judge and president of
the American Kennel club he gradually
acquired national reputation. To-day
he designates to the United States gov-
ernment the terms upon which gold
by the hundredweight shall be fur-
nished for redeeming currency notes.
He negotiates with a president and a
secretary of the treasury in secret upon
the fate of a nation's contracts. That
is the beauty of a free country. You

neath your serious notice will have a

—we're in a condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon in the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger in getting thin, because it's
a sign of letting down in health. To gain
in blood is nearly always to gain in whole-
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
perms of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
if our liver be inactive and our blood im-
pure. or if our flesh be reduced below a
healthy standard. What is required is an

vitalize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of it, is surely a remedy of great value. But
