All the resources that can be imagined
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and
his distressed collagues will not half fill
in the prospective deficiency, and there
fore we must expect further large addi
tions to the nation's debt, how large it
is useless now to attempt to estime. It
might be 50,000,000 an J p ssibly enough
half as much again. The prospect is
declded'y other than brilliant, however
viewed; and we cannot help wondering
what the war party expects the nation
to gain by all thjs outpouring of its
means and mortgaging of its future.
Where does the profit come in in the
balance-? heet? We see none, not a far
thing, but only a steady disappearance
of our wealth, of our power over mar
kets and over communities that were
our customers and good ones. But we
cannot expect the government and its
apporters to acknowledge this. They

on tropical products will close up every
cigar factory and every leaf tobacco
farm in the United States. It will an
nihilate the domestic beet sugar indus
try that otherwise promises millions to
our domestic farmers. It will encour
age disastrous competition with the
fruit, vegetable and trucking indu stries
of a continent. Rice and even cotton
will be affected.
Our deliberate judgment is that no
greater danger ever confronted domestic
agriculture and labor than the policy
toward the tropics now undappily in
augurated. The American farmer will
not submit to it. -Orange Judd Farmer,

banks are authorized under the act
March last to issue paper currency; and
they are constantly increasing the vol
ume of this form of currency. On what
principle is such currency regulated?
It must be admitted that it is regulated
on no principle whatever but the in
terests of those who issue it. If banks
an make a profit by issuing such cur-
retcy, they will issueit. Think of regu
lating the currency of a people, upon
which the prices of all products, the
wages of labor and the relations of debtor
and creditor depend, upon such a prin
ciple 1 The power to control a part of a
volume of money is virtually the power
to control tho whole. To put this power
uto the hands of individuals or corpora-
ions is to create a power outside of the
government almost greater than the
power of the government itself. It will
result in a money trust that will in time
swallow up all other trusts and dictate
the conditions under which production.

DANG tiR AHEAD
Tub United States started in to free

and dispatch." The Cubans are Per-
cting a government of their own. onlv
to have the United States Hs.nm a
a written and perhaps ollensive protect
orate or dictatorship over In. As to the
immorality of this action by the United
piates, niter its lolty protestations, this
is not the place to speak, further than to
say that congregss has thus altered the
whole policy of this government without
debate.
This sudden action is the first step to
ward free trade with Cuba. The next
step will be an attempted reduction (at
tho next session of congress in Decern
bor) of 25 to 50 ptr cent in duties on
juuan prouucts imported into the
United States. The third and last step
will be annexation, forcible if need be.
The second step may be taken within
a twelve mouth. In anticipation thereof
sugar trust shares have already ad-
Seeing all other callings organize for
self interest, why don't the tillers of the
soil learn wisdom and organize for their
nterestf Suiely, the farmers who sup
port the world are justly entitled to the
first consideration as regards full pay
for their arduous labor. Yet, we find,
while other callings demand a certain
price for their goods, the farmers ask
the dealers what they will pay for their
produce. If the farmers were properly
orgsnized, they would be enabled to set
a fair price upon their productions, as
do oilier callings on tneir goous, ana as
the farmer's goods support lite, ttie
farmer's demand for a fair piice could
not be overcome by any combination of
designing men.
It seems to be the aim oi the aristo
cracy of wealth to get every advantage
possible ot ttie working classes, tviio
nave earned every dollar of their wealth.
It is evident that low prices tort pro
ductions of all kinds is just what non-
workers want, because then a small
sum ot their dear money will buy valu
able property. Herein is the cause of
the monstrous deceptions tnat are Deing
perpetrated upon the honest toilers of
our beloved country, by telling the hon
est voters that the dear high priced
irold dollars are best for the toil- rs, when
cheap money has always been by far
beet for the working class. By cneap
money we mean good legal tender
money, it may oe gold, so pientnui mat
it becomes cheap compared with other
things. What makes legal money
dear is its scarcity. Legal tender paper
money, if we had no other money in cir
culation and no greater volume of it
than we have of gold, would be just as
dear money tB the gold is now. Every
body ought to know that the govern
ment stamp is what makes legal tender
money. That paper stamped like gold,
would transact business the same hi
gold. Well informed persons know that
the history ot former times, has aemon
strated again and again that good times
for the laboring classes have always
been ushered in by a large volume of
money, and contra, that hard times have
always prevailed when money became
scarce.
Simple reason or common sense tells
us that a plentiful supply of currency
would be a great blessing to industry.
Then what can we think of the law
makers who sit unmoved while the
working classes are suffering for the
want of profitable employment? It is
true, at the present time, that labor is
in better demand than it was a few
years ago, because the government is
putting large sums of money in circula
tion on account of the war. Good times
don't depend on who is president, but
entirely upon a large circulation of legal
tender money. Neither do good times
depend upon gold and silver money.
'J he most prosperous times our people
ever saw, were during aud for several
years after the civil war, when neither
goldorBilver was seen in circulation.
The wriier remembers too well when
the change from prosperity to adversity
came to the producers; it was when tlm
legal tender greenbacks were put in o
interest beariim b mds, and the legal
money was burned up. Although the
scheming aristocracy of that day pur
posely depreciated the greenbacks by
putting the exception clause on their
back; business failures were seldom
heard of. Mark the coi.trast. The
nearer the approach to the specie re
demption system the greater was the
number of failures.
The rich aristocracy has always been
contriving some echeme whereby it
could fleece the producing classes.
Those parasites who live off the pro
ducers, flourish when they can mislead
the workers most. At one time they
tell the workers that hard times ate
caused by low tariff; at another tune,
high tariff is to blame; again over-production,
or general crop failure, causes
the unpleasantness. The toilers are be
ing told anything and most everything,
but ttie true and only cause of low pi ices
and hard times that of a great lack of
leual money in circulation. The creditor
class tell the people that the banks are
full of money. If they nre full why do
they charge ten per cent for a loan? It
the circulating medium was multiplied
by four and the interest was cut down to
S per cent, we would ceas hearing the
cry of overproduction, for the people's
prosperity would so enlarge their buying
capacity that good prices would every
where prevail, as every working man
would have pleuty of money to spend.
Oh I That toilers would wake up from
their hypnotic state in which they have
been placed by the hoodwinking of de
signing men.
