Sound Honey.
A strictly sound money is money
that will maintain its purchasing
power with the least variation
through a long term of years. A
money', which, when loaned, will not
increase in its purchasing power before
the day of payment of the loan comes
round. This is the money that would
not only be “sound” but just. The gold
money system is the most unjust of all
systems, and gold money becomes the
most unjust and in consequence of its
injustice the most unsound money in
the world, because it is always growing
less, gauged by the increased demand for
money by the increase in population and
business steadily going on. The quantity
of gold in the world and the production
of the mines cannot begin to keep pace
with population and business. The con
sequence is that a growing proportional
money scarcity makes the demand for it
greater and the price higher. Thus more
labor and its products are required to pay
a debt some years hence than at the time
of its contraction. This is clearly unjust
to the creditor.
A distinctively American system of
finance is what the industrial class of this
country demands, and what, to insure
future prosperity to the people of this
country, they must have, pledging their
cpuntry and its vast resources to insure
tjie “sound” quality of their money, a
%asis wfiiiih represents’ an annual creation
*lf ftHSrgTeal We'alth than all the gold in
tflvtf,world. The value of any" thing is
_equal to the value of that which is pledged
to sustain it. The money of our country
being pledged by law to purchase the
products of the country would represent
the “intrinsic” value of the
When we have established such a finan
cial system silver and gold will cease to
he nsed as money in this country ana be
virtnally demonetized. The United States
legal tenders would then be at a premium
over gold in every country in Europe, as
the credits of the Bank of Venice were for
hundreds of years.
Look at the geographical position of
our country, its natural resources of
wealth in soil, climate, minerals and
timber. In the very heart of the temper
ate zone, three thousand miles in extent
from east to west, and as far reaching
north and south ; washed by the two great
oceans, with half the railroads of the
world supplying it with the arteries of
trade and transportation; the great
“father of waters” forming a natural
canal through the centre of its territory.
Behold this unparalleled heritage of
wealth and power and who would not
scoru the traitors that grovel at the feet ol
the Rothschild money power ?
No nation was ever endowed with any
thing to compare with the natural wealth
of this country. If the people who want
to work had access to this latest wealth
they would develop five times as much of
it as they- are permitted to do under our
cramping, usury system of Hebrew
financiering.
In order to properly- develop and make
the most of our natural heritage we needan
AMEKICAN SYSTEM OF FINANCE,
controlled by Americans through and by
their government, independent of all
other nations. We can never obtain this
till the control of tile government is
rescued from the Rothschild money
power which holds it in its right and
left hands, the Republican and Democrat
parties. For this purpose the People’s
party was ordained.
Coin’s Financial School.
This famous little book is running over
the country like a prairie fire, and is
worrying the gold bugs as badly as the
Helper Book did the slave-holders before
the outbreak of the rebellion. This little
messenger of fate to the “sound mony”
class is a hand writing on the wall fright
ening them as nothing ever before has
disturbed that clan of conspirators against
the prosperity and property of the world.
Coin is made to figure as a school
master who delivers six lectures on
money ill Chicago. He illustrates his
lectures by diagrams on tne blackboard,
tables, charts, etc., which are represented
in the book. His lectures are interspersed
with questions fromwell known persons
in the audience, college professors, bank
presidents, cashiers, members of the
board of trade, editors of the leading
daily papers iu Chicago, who arc made to
rise in the audience and propound ques
tions to the little lecturer, or school
master.
As a matter of fact these performances
never actually took place, but the leading
gold bug advocates are represented asking
the lecturer questions, and the questions
are formulated out of the opinions held,
and! arguments used by the men and
papers whose names Coin uses to [demon
strate his positions and refute the gold
bug authors of such erroneous opinions.
This plan is quite original and the writer
is very bright and has taken care to be
well informed on all the points taken up.
Coin does uot base his arguments or lec
tures on the true-basis of scientific money,
but purposely, we assume, adopts the
gold bug theory of "primary” mouey,
the money of “final payment,” which
is the gold bug financial system of
‘ sound money” to justify the free coinage
of silver based on that theory, and so
thoroughly proves his case as to put the
gold bugs in a hole or compel them to
acknowledge the same necessity for the
free coinage of silver as that of gold, in
order to furnish the world with a sufficient
stock of' ‘primary money” on which to
issue credit money. Coin, in short, car- '
ries the war into Africa, drives the gold j
bugs into their fastnesses for the apparent
purpose of smoking them out and expos
ing their defenseless and dishonest posi
tion and flimsy arguments in behalf of
monometalism or the gold “standard.”
Coin explores this fabled financial river
Nile to its source and exposes the gold
bug humbug, as completely as the early
African travelers exploded the famed city ]
of Timbuctoo, by proving it a town ofi
mud huts. The gold basis mouey theory |
when exposed is a financial Timbuctoo.
The gold ring of Wall street is stirred
up to a “state of mud” over Coin and the
Reform Club, Sound Money Committee
of New York have taken up their pens to
try and answer Coin’s lectures which
have pierced the gold ring's rotten hulk
like solid shot from a parrot gun would a
pirate’s craft.
Horace White and two or three other
, gold scribes have undertaken the task of
answering Coin, but we confidently pre
dict their last state will be worse than the
first.
Coin’s Financial School is published by
. the Coin Publishing Company. Irs
Monroe St., Chicago. Send 25 cents and
; get a copy. It is setting the country on
■ fire.
Strikes, Strikes, Strikes.
And they are springing up in every part
of the country apparently more numerous
than ever. The plutocrat papers an
nounce that there is a “slow but steady
’ improvement,” but the strikes which
’ their columns record contradict the claim
of improvement. The truth is that things
’ are growing worse Wheat has raised
some lately-, but it was an advance in
j. price or the farmers had about made up
their minds to stop selling wheat and
feed the grain to their cows and hogs.
[ There were probably a hundred million
bushels of wheat fed to stock since last
harvest. Wheat costs 73 to 84 ■ cents a
bushel to raise it. and it is impossible that
j farmers could go on very long selling it
( at 50 cents and less. Such a condition.
like a fly wheel, brings up at a standstill
, when the propelling power is removed.
Prices of everything must come down to
a level with wheat before it can be sold
’ for 50 cents, hence wheat has gone up
lately, hut the prices of all else are grad
ually dropping. Wages, although the
wage earners are striking, are higher
, relatively than anything else not con
. trolled by monopoly, but the wage earn
ers arc working on half time, and many
of them are entirely idle.
r If wages were reduced so that all could
be employed who want work, they would
, scarcely be one-lialf what they are at
C present. If present conditions continue
j for a few years they must come to that.
People must be employed or starve, and
, the amount of money set apart for wages
, must be divided and subdivided till all
t have a share. That is the way it is in
e China, in India, in Egypt. Machinery
has to be largely dispensed with and hand
j labor take its place. This is the inevitable
1 end of the present trend of events. But
will the American people submit to this
p pressure long enough to allow the steady
t turn of plutocracy’s screw to force them
j to the condition of the cooly and Hindu ?
We think not. They will burst up and
smash up things before reaching that
, lowest level. They are trying to remedy
t their evil by votes, if they fail in this, the
1 old method of force will be their next and
j last recourse.
r Things are not improving. They are
v evening up, or rather, down, and then
move forward a trifle on a lower level,
e again to halt, steady up and sink a little
j, lower. Commercial and business papers
announce periodically that the currency
v of the country is steadily contracting,
’/ and that means lower prices and harder
s times.
s More money must be had before the
y dead line is reached or the cry of bread
j or blood will be heard in the land.
t
s The (fold-bugs are Whipped Already.
The drift to free silver every
where is so strong that it is evident
that goldbagism is already beaten.
r “Coin’s Financial School” seems,
s like “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” to have
; been launched exactly at the right
: moment, and as that novel was to
; slavery the little book is to the gold
, bug swindle and craze. People are
. coming to their senses, and begin to
5 see as well as feel (he hnge fraud
t that has been practiced upon them
by this Jew conspiracy, hatched in
London and other European centers
, where these gentlemen cantrol the
5 great gold banking houses.
The Orange J udd Farmer (Ameri
j can Agriculturist) the most eon
j servative old school farm paper in
. the country says this book, Coin’s
. Financial School “seems to have
1 carried the west by storm, is having
j greater iuflueuce in the central and
j southern states and is to-day the
fastest selling book in the great de
. partmeut stores iu Philadelphia,
New York, Boston and other eastern
s cities. Over 350,000 copies have
, been sold. Public men bankers.
’ journalists and others are rapidly
’ taking sides in the three-cornered
light, and while ‘goldbugs’ are
j coming to the front at the west and
south an astonishing influence
5 favorable to bimetalism or free coin
age is developing iu the east.”
r This tells the story iu advance of
c the anihilating defeat that the gold
, bug conspirators are doomed to
receive. It would not be at all
strange if this popular storm which
e increases iu intensity, did not drive
the next session of congress to pass
almost without a division a free
j- coinage bill.

The Arena for May is an excel
’ lent number, and the high char
? aeter of its contents is one of the
r encouraging literary signs of the
times; for it shows that a large
‘ reading public is growing up iu the
' United States that takes a keen
interest iu all the vital, social,
: economic and political questions of
‘ the hour. The place of honor is
1 given to a scholarly but scathing
2 criticism ol Renan’s “Life of Jesus,”
’ by John D. McPherson, of tile
‘ United States Supreme Court. It
s is written from the orthodox point
1 of view and will be widely read and
1 discussed. James Realf, Jr., in a
v paper called “A Poet of the North
-1 west,” introduces a new American
& poet, Jonah Le Roy Robinson, to
1 American readers. C. J. Buell
• gives his views on “A Partial
v Solution of the Railway Problem.”
15 Adeline Knapp paints a strong
? picture in a short story called “The
Wealer: A Story of the Times.”
1 Rev. T. E. Allen, a leading member
•’ of the Boston Society of Psychical
e Research, writes an analysis of the
1 strange case of Mollie Fancher of
Brooklyn, which he believes estab
e lishes the fact of clairvoyance. B.
I O. Flower, the editor of the review,
continues the series of papers dis
e cussing the legal and social aspects
8 of the traffic iu girls and kindred
I I immoralities. E. P. Powell con
> siders the question, “Should War
r be Abolished. Henry Wood con
tributes “Human Evolution and
e the Fall,” and shows that if we
■' accept the evolutionary philosophy
we must consider the Fall of Eden
as a spiritual aud moral advance
• rather than a declension. Robert
. Stein writes a strong but temperate
t paper ou the Armenian question
. t from the point of view of an
, | Armenian, and he concludes that
? | Armenia must have a European
1 1 governor. The article is finely
3 ! illustrated. Prof. Frank Parsons,
lj of the Boston University Law
a School, deals with the question of
> the municipalization of street rail
1 roads iu our great cities. R. I. j
1 Hemphill describes the South
1 Carolina State Dispensary. Rev. '

j The Democratic County Executive
Committee met at Elkton last week and
’ ordered the County Central Committee to

following resolution :
“ Resolved . that the County Central
