There ia no socb thing as a money of tbe world. btatietice go to abow that each work er adda eleven dollars a day to tba wraith of the country. And yet the work. ra get so little of thai wealth! Ian 'I it about time the workers insisted upon having what tbey produced andj let the drones get to work or starve? Are the people cf this country fit to be free men? We belgn to doubt it They secui to glory in their rags and slavery creating all tbe wealth, but enjoying so little of it Tbey go to the pill, and vote aa they are bidden by their party boaa and lay tt all onto the other party becauee timea get no better. Of course the banking buainess does not pay.

According to the census reports of 18 DO the msuuufacturers of the coun try net SO per cent over and above all eipenaea, on their investments. Where Is tbe farmer wbo can pay himself a bundaome salary, pay bia belp, operat ing eipenaea, and secure a dividend upon the capital be bat invested In bis farm, buildings snd machinery? Then is only one place for Tom Jefferson DemocraU and Abe Lincoln Republicans, and tbat is in ths Popu list Tarty. Hut they wilt never learn People's Party principles by reading out parly papers. It is Interesting to note that accord ing to oeusus reports, corporate iovest- meit per mile in railroads outside of New Knlgand are three times what they are in the New Knlgand states. It Is not because the railroads cost leea In New Knlgand, but because tbey were built before the corporations caught onto the trick of watering their stock. That's the Utile joker In tbe woodpile. If war should break out tn this oountry totnrrow yon would see toe "pstriotlo" gold-buggers rush to the treasury with their paper money foe redemption in gold, snd the first hundred million presented would eleaa out the treasury. Then tbe reat of tbe paper money holders would be "In the Soup eo far at redemption was eoncerned. A ooin basis always wss fraud, and ever will be a fraud. Tbe gold-buggers are lately elalmlug tbat silver was not surreptitiously knocked out in 'Tl. President U. 8. Grant said it waa Either Grant lied. or tbe gold-buggers are lying now. But Grant told the truth. Gold-bugs conn.lder it a "stunner to ask a man which he would rather bave a taa-dollar gold piece or ten allver dollara.
