OREGON OITY, SEPT. 20, 1901.
A PREACHER'S OPINION.
The burglar who undertakes to appro
priate otherpeople'a money by breaking
into the house at night, the pickpocket
Who undertakes to appropriate it by
taking your watch or your purse un
known to you these are universally
-condemned.
But the man who can devife a scheme
for getting your money out of your safe
into his, or out of your pocket into his,
without any vnlue rendered, through
come ingenious scheme of so-called fi
nance, he is admitted into social circles ;
he may be a pillar of the church' as well
-.well as of society.
fie is a thief as puch as the other
man, but he is not recognized as such
by society or even by his own con
science. Directors of gas companies, directors
ef street railway companies, almost
without exception, are and have been
corrupters of public morals, purchasers
f legislation which will give them the
property of the p ople for nothing. They
ften justify themselves by saying that
there is absolutely nothing else to do.
The legislators are corrupt, and the po
pie at large, who are responsible for
their election, are likewise corrupt;
they wish to have corrupt government,
and they elect these corruptible legists
ttors. We are reudy to pay a proper price for
privileges and franchises; we are not
9 jrmitted to do so, and the only course
open to ua is to go in and secure Buch
public property as wo can, paying the
bosses or leglnlitors or the executive for
it. This is the only way in which busi
ness can he done with the public.
Some day I believe"the public will un
dertake these things for itself. That
will be the next step in this progress of
co-operation in the couimuuily. I
doubt whether there is any other way in
which this bribery and corruption in
the purchase and operation of the pub
lic franchises can be brought to an end.
After all has been done that can be
done to regulate trusts and great corpor
ations by legMiitinn, they will continue
to exist, and those evils which the pub
lic has coiim to connect with the very
names of 'lust ami corporation politi
cal corruption, oppression of rivals by
control of transportation facilities and
the like, over capitalization in the effort
to tenure an excessive return on capital,
Iain r and ideas .nvei-ted will go on and
increase dnless the community can be
educated, unless the industrial morals
of the community can be Christianized.
The standard of soo:al worth is with
us not; what a mm or a woman baa done
to servo his or her fellows, but what a
man or woman has gotten for himself or
herself, or, worse still, what a man or
woman's ancestors the mora remote
the belter have gotten and stored up
and passid on to them. The whole
thiii) is un-Christian, anti-Christian.

Herb is a tain which points its own

"Now, children, while we are on this

C. S. Hahnisb, chairman of the So
cialist State Executive Committee, has
called a mass convention of the socialists
to meet at the W. C. T.C.hall in Salem,
on Wednesday, September 25, at 10
o'clock, a. m. The objects of said con
vention will be to form a permanent
Btate organization, adopt a platform of
principles, and transact such other busi
ness as may be expedient to advance so
cialism. State Commissioner of Schools of
Ohio, L. D. fionebrake, before the
county teachers' institute at Painesville
made the startling remark that it cost
the Ohioans more per capita to care for
the paupers of the stale than to main

CUT EXPENSES,
The board of c runty commis
fioners has at last opened its eyes
for a moment and cut off four as
sistants to county officers. This
matter should have been attended
to long ago but still it's better late
than never.
We congratulate the board for
this consideration of the taxpayers.
Let the good work go on.
When I take into consideration the
agony of civilized life, the failures, the
anxieties, The withered hopes, the bitter
realities, the hunger, the shame, I am

in which man lives upon his fellow
man. Robert O Ingersoll.
"Canned thick" has h come danger

bles have been found to contain food
preservatives, and of thirteen popular
brands of extract'of lemon not one con
tained any oil of lemon, and most of
them were colo'ed wilh analine dyes.
It is not unlikely, says a writer, that
probably 75 per cent of the best cotton
land in Texas is owned by men who live
iu the larger towns and trust t eir es

either on rental or Bhares ti myrues and
whites.
A KKt'KNT addition to good influences
is the ''Don't Kick Club," of Buffalo,
that already contains some 7000 listed
members. Its I'unilameiitul principle is:
"Hotter say nothing than speak ill of
your fellowmen."

K. B. Munday, a lawyer of Henrietta,
Tex., onee fooled a grave dignor. lie
says: "My brother was very low with
malarial fever and jaundice. I per
suaded him to try Electric Bitters, and
he was soon much better, but he con
tinued their use until be was wholly
cured. I am sure Electric Bitters saved
his life." This remedy sxpels malaria,

Shylock and Ills Victim"
The persistent action of the moneyed
aristociacv'irt limiting the circulating
medium to less than one-fourth of the
requirement of trade shows that some
deep laid design is hidden for self-aggrandizement.
Harmonious conditions
require an equilibrium : That a given
amount of business requires a corres
ponding amount of currency to facilitate
exchange. We find friction in trade is
always in proportion to the scarcity of
money. But how does the stringency
affect the money lords? It opens to them
rare opportunities of robbing the unfor
tunate by taking their r roperty at less
than half price. Why does the law per
mit the creditor to sacrifice the debtor's
property? The answer is because the
rich from time immemorial have cap
tured the lawmaking power, conse
quently the laws are made to favor the
capitalitts. ilow much longer will the
useful classes, the workers, vote for the
idle aristocracy to lord it over them?
The animus of the .wreckers is made
plain in the Hazzard circular issued by
English capitalists in 1862, and circu
lated contidentally among American
bankers. The diabolical document
says :
"r-lavery is likely to be abolished bv
the war power, and chattel slavery des
troyed This, I and my European
friends are in favor of, for slavery is but
tltfc owning of labor, and carries with it
the care of the laborer, while the Euro
pean plan, led on by England, is capi
tal control of labor, by controlling
wages. This can be done by controlling
the money. The great debt that capi
talists will see to it is made out of the
war, must, be used as a measure to con
trol the volume of money. To accomp
lish this, the bonds must be used as a
bunking basis. We are no v waiting to
get the secretary of the treasury to
make this recommendation to congress.
It will notdo to nllow the greenback, as
it is called, to circulate as money any
length of time, for we cannot control
that." -
In response to the wishes of their
English cousins the American bankers
assembled in Washington to prevent
the issue ot a full legal tender green
back, so that a banking system based on
bonds would enable them to control the
volume of money in the interest of capi
talists, instead of the welfare of the
toilers. In fact the bonds and the bank
ing, swindles were intended to depress
prices of labor and its production in the
interest of the parasitic money lords.
Notwithstanding the evidence is unde
niable that non-producers bavj as a rule
favored the many schemes tor depleting
the earnings of honest labor, still many
of the toilers continue to be wheeled by
the fallacious teachings they read in the
partisan papers. If all the ayenues of
intelligence were free from guile, and
truth was inscribed on every banner,
how soon our beloved country would re
cuperate to a high standard of moral,
intellectual and material advancement.
It seems to me that every one whose as
piration is for the welfare of the human
family should work for the betterment
of Khviock's victims, by educating the
toilers to shun Shvlock's fraudulent
teaching.
It is evident that we have a subsidized
press to contend with, whose editors have
sold themselves for Shylock s blood
money ; for those editors approve Shy1
lo k'e uieihodof robbing honest indus
try of fully two-thirds of the toilers
earnings. In fact, without the sanction
of the press, Shylock could not long sur
vive. As the people become enlightened
by studying the whys and wherefores,
they will more and more discard bucu
newspapers as uphold the robbers. For
honest people desire truthtui statements.
As soon as they learn ot an editor's (iu
plicity they will stop patronizing his bo
gus papers. Let us not tire of reiterat
ing the fact that .it is the dearth of
money that hurts the workers aud at the
same time fattens shylocks.
There has been much said about pros
perous times since the Spanish-American
war began ; jnt as if the gold stan
dard and high tar, ft Wtre the cause of
bet'e r conditions among the people has
been brought about by a larger volume
of money put in circulation by the war
powir. Prosperity would alwavs bless
the producing classes if our government
would furnish the 'people a much larger
Volume of legal money than has ever
been put in circulation. We are war
ranted in making the strove assertion by
the fact that history and our own experi
ence tell us that the greatest prosperity
ot thepeoplo ever known, has occurred
when the country had the largest volume
of legal tendur money in circulation,
then why not vote for more of . that
which makos good times?

There are people' who say that the
benefit derived from the use of put-up
medicines is imaginary. It is not the
case with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion, which makes weak women strong
and sick women well. A woman may
imagine she's weak, or may fancy she's
sick, but her imagination can't add forty
pounds to her weight. The positive
proof of the curative power of "Favorite
Prescription " is found in the restoration
of health which is recorded in face and
form, of strength which can be tested,
and weight which can be registered in
pounds and ounces.
The general health of women is so
intimately connected with the local
health of the womanly organs that
when thee are diseased the whole body
suffers loss. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription cures womanly diseases. It
establishes regularity, stops weakening
drains, heals inflammation and ulcera
tion and cures female weakness.
I am very glad to let other poor sufferers
know what Dr. Pierce's medicines have done
for me," writes Mrs. JJdwin H. Gardner, of
Beechwood, Norfolk Co., Mass. (Box 70.) "You
know I wrote to you last summer. I read what
your medicine had done for other people, so
thought I would try it, aud I found it was a
blessing to me atid my family. I began in June
and took six bottles 01 your medicine, 9 nd three
vials of 'Pellets.' I took your medicine a year
when I had a ten-pound girl. I had the easiest
time I ever had with anv of my three children.
I have been very well aince I took your medi
cine. I took three bottles of 1 Favorite Prescrip
tion, three of ' Golden Medical Discovery.' and
three vials of ' Pellets.' I had no appetite and
could not eat much without it distressing me
before I took your ' Favorite Prescription,1 and I
only weighed 135 pounds. Now I weigh 175."
