Legislation Dictated by
Mon y Losneig.
Commenting on the financial
question tbat rill come before thU
cjngress for determination the Cin
cinnati Enquirer say:
There Is much to encourage the
audacity of the bank pirty in their
claim that they are the beBt judges
of what 18 should be passed con
corning banking and currency, be
cause'they know best unler what
lawa.they can mike most money.
They have found this encourage
ment scattered all along through
the legislative history of the coun
try within the last fifty years. Be
fore the rebellion congress was
"stood up" and compelled to de
liver legislation to enrich manu
facturers under one administration
and to tighten the chains of slavery
and extend the political power of
the slaveholders under other ad
ministrations. During the war it
was stood up to grtnt principalities
of lends to railroad companies, De
sides loaning them governmen
bonds to well nigh cover the land.
It was stood up to enact whatever
loan and currency laws would best
suit the money-loaners of the world
and enable them to realize the most
milliops out of tho blood and sweat
of the people, ft has been stood up
to chance currency bonds into coin
bonds, and then to abolish the
silver coin in which they were
made payable, in the hope that
would :orce their payment in gold
of increased yalue. The publio
debt and the publio currency bave
been the playthings of the bank
Dower until, finally, avarice has
become so inflamed with what it
has been fed u&ou, and bo arrogant
from its success, that opposition to
further robbery is flippantly de
nounced as "repudition."
"In all thcBe wrongs upon the
people the laws passed by congress
have been drawn by those who
-were (o be enriched by them. Tariff
laws were drawn by the attorneyi
of the manufacturers; railroad sub
sidy laws by the attorneys of the
railway corporations, and all our
laws relating to loans, currency
and coinage bave been the work of
of the hands of tin skillful attor
nova employed by the money deal
era who were to be benefited by
thos) lawn. The people have had
but few lawyers. The doors of
congressional committee rooms
have swung quickly upon their
hinges at the slightest touch of
these consumers of the people i
substance, but whoever has intro
duced bills to oppose them has been
rccirded as a rather innocent ' bay
seed" or a dangerous .radical,
Avarice has named itself conserva
tive. and when vacancies upon the
federal bench are to be filled the
names are suggested of silken, sly
insinuating attorneys, rich with
tho fees paid to them by the great
syndicates, trusts and corporations
for demonstrating tbat tbeir denre
dations on society are legal. The
reason urged for tboir appointment
is that they are "conservative,"
which is another way of saying
that thev will protect their old
clients in the acquisition and re ten
tion of other people' property.
"It is in the light of conditions
like theee. which have long pre
vailed, that usury comes forward,
naked and unasbameu, and de
mands the right to dictate laws un
der which it may manufacture
money out of paper rags to be UBed
as "loanable currency," while bind
ing the victims who become tbeir
creditors to pay them in gold, ob
tainable only from the hard credi
tor by the surrender of whatever
amount of property he chooses to
damandfor it. Thank God the
present congress is beyond the
reach of theie conspirators. They
may make the llouee ot Kepresen
tatives obey tbein in part, but the
Senate will stand as a rock against
them."

A MEanM."
Mayor Pennoyercan bedepended
uuon to Fpring surprises on the
publio when least expected. Ilis
latest feat occurs in tnat crushing
letter to the Portland newspaper
autocrat, luu Uregonian, lie
clinches his argument by calling
the Oregonian editor a "megrim."
This latest adroit flanking move of
our ex-governor h a caused a sua
den demand for Webster's Una
bridged.
It was Dogberry, of rhikespeare'
an creation, whose pride and self
esteem as a judge were severely
wounded by the prisonor, who had
beon apprehended by Dogberry's
minions of the law, when he culled
Judge Dogberry an '"ass." The
judge, in that notable incident, in
Htructed the clerk of his proceed
ings to "write me down an ass."
Doubtless the Oregonian editor in
bitterness of spirit at the unoon
donable offense, writos himself
down on the tablets of his memory
a "megrim" to keep the insult fresh
for future excoriation of the worthy
mayor.
Our ex-govern r U liable to do
most anything but se Ind no idea
Le would throw the national dic
tionary at the head of an offender
iu such a free and easy manner.
