THE EONfi AGE.
We copy the following- able and
interesting alhcle on till subject
from Texas Farm and Ranch of
July 10th, and commend its care
ful perusal to our readers :
"Classical literature tells us
about the golden age, the silver
age, the brazen age, the heroic
age and the iron age. Contem
porary literature and current ex
perience tell us much about the
bond age (the space between the
words mav be omitted without
changing the sense) . The golden
age, we are told by both Hesoid
and Ovid, was characterized by
simplicity and purity; the silver
age by voluptuousness and god
lessness; the brazen age by wild
ness, war and violence: the
heroic age by virtuous aspiration,
and the iron age by the absence
of justice, piety and faithfulness.
The historian of the future, when
characterizing the bond age (or
bondage") will tell us that during
the period free men voted them
selves and their posterity into
slavery at the instigation of cun
ning men, and for the hope of
present erain. There is nothing
truer in ancient or modern litera
ture than the wise proverb ''the
borrower is slave to the lender."
And it applies alike to individuals,
cities, counties, states, nations,
internal improvement or irriga
tion districts. If a courthouse is
.needed and the question arises,
shall we build a 85,000 house and
pay cash, or a S50,000 one and
pay in bonds, the people will vote
for the bond issue. Bonds, are
issued for every conceivable pur
pose, and people will clamor for"
their issue and curse the tax col
lector when the 'interest must be
paid the bonds are not paid, but
refunded by issuing more bonds,
and our children and grand
children inherit from our folly a
burden that never grows lighter
The bonded indebtedness of the
United States is a fair illustration
of the working of this scheme for
enslaving the people.
Although the amount of the
national debt has been paid two
and a-half times, we now owe
more than the entire amount, and
there is hardly a hope that, how
ever much we pay, it will ever
grow less. The theory of bonded
indebtedness is a cunningly de
vised scheme to override the con
stitutional provisions exempting
the homestead from forced sale.
In our state the home cannot be
mortgaged directly, and,this pro
vision has always been opposed
by the money lenders. The
bonding scheme is a device of the
devil; acting through his obse
quious servants, the avaricious
lenders, to make the homes of the
people security for their cent per
cent. Most of these bonds are
held in England as hostages for
the tribute for which our people
have become liable through their
issue. It has already become a
serious question with political
economists whether this country
can ever get rid of the burden
which already costs between
8300,000,000 and 8400,000,000 a
year in interest. How can the
principal be paid when the inter
est equals the net profits of our
nations industry.'' JLet every
body know that every bond issued
constitutes a mortgage on every
home within the county, muni
cipality or district, and that the
interest is tax that must be paid
every year until the full amount
of the bonds have been paid, and
after all this, the same bonds and
the same mortgage exists, and
the same interest must be paid as
before. It is perpetual motipn
once 'started, it never stops.
When the bonds get ripe they
can be gathered, but another
crop is always ready to take their
place. This is called refunding

Never for a moment, says
the Shreveport Times, should the
fact be lost sight of that every
man and woman, no matter what
their lot in life, exert some in
fluence for good or evil. Human
nature, as a rule, is exacting. It
is neither over charitable nor
forgiving. So the words spoken,
the deeds done have their in
fluence over some one, are closely
watched and sow seed that must
bring.fch fruit, either whole
some or hurtful. It is more pro
fitable to nurture the .better,
impulses. It is more beneficial
to every mortal to cherish the
Godlike and thus do good to
those around him and her. Ex
ample in word and deed is, the
pure incense mat rises on tne
shrine of the fireside and builds
up the characters of the children
who shall become the men and
women after the parents have
been laid to a final rest. Watch
the words spoken, the deeds
done in daily life.

We were told a year ago, says
the Sherman Courier, that just as
soonas McKinley was elected
that confidence would be restored
and that prosperity would at once
take up its abode with us. We
looked in after the election for
good times, but we were confront
ed then with the proposition that
better times could not'reach their
fulfillment utitil 'after the inau
guration. After the inauguration
we ae told that we must wait till
the tariff bill passes. So the Re
publican party will go on setting
the time ahead, for prosperity
can never come only to the favor
ed few under its extravagant,
mercenary leader, Mark Hanna.
The Greenville Herald insists
that there never was any truth in
the contention that it was the un
certainty of punishment from the
laws delay that caused mobs to
break the neck qf rapists. When
men place themselves below the
level of, wild animals it is natural
for other men, not rendered
effemimate by the "refinements"
of civilization, to deal with them
as they would with wild animals.
This may not be right but it is
according to the nature of things.
Hon. C. B. Bush, president of the

A man in Virginia, rode forty
miles to Fairfax Station, for the ex-1
press purpose of getting Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, and took
home with him, a dozen bottles of

are indeed wonderful in all lung and

The St. Louis Republic pre
dicts that the brace game being
played against poor old John

its shameful climax in the
pathetic retirement of Sherman

by his bunkoers.
