LIVE ISSUES. The Red-Shield's “ Best Dollar.” Says Mr. Fawcet, in his book on “ Gold and Debt: ” “It is a trick of capital, in all countries, to persuade the people that their honor is at stake in the payment of war-debts at the highest valuation the avarice of the jjolders may set on them.” As soon as the national debt of* England had been scoopedin at half value by the false-pretenses of thej Eed-Shield, a noise went up as of all Israel, from Cain to Ricardo, splitting throat and nose over “the sacredness of the public credit.” The din meant simply that all England was mortgaged to the Red- Shield Fund-Holders, who wanted to settle in money so scarce that a million people must sell their all, and then starve and die, to get it. So the new band of Herod butchered “the innocents” as effectually as did the old monster of Judea. During our civil war, one part of the National Debt of the United States took the form of “Five- Twenty Bonds”—that is, large notes, bearing interest at six per cent, payable at the option of the Government after five years if de sirable, but not otherwise due until the end of twenty years. Four hundred and twenty millions of these obligations were bought by Baron James Rothschild. For the purpose of this purchase the green backs had been pushed down to almost their lowest point. When gold had been so manipulated that forty two cents of “coin” would buy a dollar greenback, the greenbacks were gobbled at that figure, and turned into the bonds at a pawn brokerage of fifty-eight dollars on the hundred. The five-twenty bonds were ex plicitly payable in “lawful money,” and greenbacks weie explicitly de clared to be lawful money for every thing except interest on the public debt and duties on imports. Such was the law. Nobody questioned it. But, as soon as the war closed, the English Eed-Shield and the Amer ican-Tory Three-Balls began to conspire for the immediate payment of the five-twenty bonds in gold, every “shekel” of which, owing to their own iniquities, was still “great” as against every green back, and against every “epha” of the people’s bread. So great was the greed of the bond-shark that even his pilot-fish, John Sherman, turned away from him for a moment, with horror. The fish “spake” thus: “I think the bond-holder violates his promise when he refuses to take the same kind of money he paid for the bonds. * * * He is a re pudiator and extortioner to demand money more valuable than hegave.” The word of the pilot-fish was uttered on the 30th of March, 1868. “In less than ten months,” accord ing to the mouth of Dauiel Woolsey Yoorhees— “John Sherman, then a senator, advocated and procured the passage of the the act of March, 1869, for the payment of the bonds in coin, which he had declared payable in currency, thereby establishing the open repudiation of a solemn and binding contract, and fastening an extortion of not less than five hun dred millions of dollars on the staggering industries of the country as the speculative profits of the operation.” Another Senator, Garrett Davis, said: “To guarantee or give a pledge, on the part of the United States, that the bonds shall be paid in gold or silver, makes a difference in the burden of the debt of seven hun dred and fifty millions of dollars.” When history becomes truth, Dick Turpin, Captain Kidd and William M. Tweed, will be permit ted to wear the 'halos of saints in the presence of John Sherman and the Red-Shield. But the thing by which such fiends have stolen more property and wrecked more lives than have all the pirates and pick pockets that ever lived, is an im plement which they have hired newspapers, politicians and the whole world’s Hessian puddlers in “economics,” to name “honest money” and “the best dollar.” THE BED-SHIELD TOBIES AND “I&IPERIALISM.” It has long been the plot of the Red-Shield, with its traitor allies in America, to overthrow the free institutions of the United States, especially if the people can be rob bed in no other way. Maggots in cheese have no perception of this fact; and thousands of nominal “Americans,” whom an age of corruption now prompts only to swarm and eat, are not much above maggots in knowledge and patriot ism. But let American men and women awake. Three years after “the war,” when the united bond-holders of Wall street, London, and Jerusalem, had laid their plans to subvert our laws, and to convert our whole public debt into immediate par with coin, they started in New York an official organ—a newspaper called j “The Imperialist.” It was published at 37 Mercer! ■ street. A crown for its figure-head, • its motto was this : “The empire is' ] peace—let us have peace.” The • “Imperial Publishing Company” was its sponsor, but it gave no name of editor, proprietor or cor respondent. The advertisements told the story. Among them was one from Morton, Bliss & Company. Levi P. Morton has since been Vice-President of the United States. In its maiden solicitation to the public, “The Imperialist” said : “Though unannounced, this jour, nal is not unexpected. The plat form of The Imperialist is revolu tionary: its object is to prepare the American people for a revolution that is as desirable as it is inev itable. * # * * “We believe Democracy to be a failure. We believe, in short, that Democracy means lawlessness, cor ruption, insecurity to person and , property, robbery of the public , creditors, and civil war; that the empire means law, order, security, public faith and peace. “We believe that the national faith, if left in the keeping of the populace, will be sullied by the sure repudiation of the national debt, and that an imperial govern ment can alone secure and protect the rights of national creditors. “We believe that but a small percentage of the American people can be considered fit, by character or (education, for the unrestricted exercise of self-government.” “The Imperialist” first appeared in the early part of 18C8. Grant became President in 1869. That great and true soldier, but a tyro in affairs of money, had pledged himself to the interests of Morton, Bliss & Co., with the other bond holders, who demanded, in return for their securities, money twice as costly to the people as the law and the contract called for. It was against his judgment, but he feared to trust himself, and a patriot be came the dupe of the Red-Shield. The swindle accomplished. “The Imperialist” put out its candle— for the reason, as it stated, that “owing to the prejudice of the people and their love for their false idol, the Constitution,” the Imper ialists could accomplish their de signs better “through the Repub lican party.” Ten years later, The New York Tribune—the leading organ of that Republican party in which imper ialism declared itself merged—came out one fine day, with the revela tion that— “ The capital of the country is organized at last, and we shall see whether Congress will dare to fly in its face.” This vaunt was made on the 10th of January, 1878, and, the next day, the Tribune repeated it, thus: “The machinery is now furnished by which, in any emergency the financial corporations of the East can act together at a single day’s notice, and with such power that no act of Congress can overcome or resist their decision.” —Extracts from The Anarchists of Wealth, by Gordon Clark. The Gold Ring Rule. The revenues of the government ate running behind the expenditures and there is no visible prospect of their ever catching up if present conditions continue. The tariff is the chief source of the gov ernment receipts. To raise it higher will not help matters. People cannot buy imported goods if the price is higher. They are not now buying as many as they did under a higher tariff It is impossible to get more revenue by altering the tariff. Cleveland has already borrowed $162,- 000,000 and the deficit in the revenue will be 150,000,000 at the end of the year, it is admitted on all sides. Borrowing will be again resorted to by Cleveland, which will make a bad job worse. More revenue will have to be got to pay the in terest on borrowed money and finally the debt. The people are getting poorer and less able to pay. The country is in the worst bo* it has ever been in with no sign of relief iti sight, with worse breakers apparently ahead than we have yet seen. The spring appears to be opening with more strikes than ever. There is nothing else to attribute this alarming condition of affairs to but the ■ contraction of the currency, which has been steadily pressed upon the country for thirty years by the gold standard enemies of mankiud, who )(4ve succeeded by deception and bribery in controlling Congress and the Presidents, term after | term, iu their interest. And when things ] have reached the present desperate con- , dition, the same power seems to have a ( firmer grip on Cleveland than #uy fresi- , dent since the death of Lincoln. | More money is the remedy and the . only remedy, and the sooner the people • look the dauger now before them squarely 1 in the face and lake hold, determined to ‘ apply the remedy, the sooner things will ! begin to mend. Gold ring rule means 1 death to ftiture prosperity. THE FDR,!DAY, HUCA-IT 17, 1895. THE HOUSEHOLD. She is Taking in Sail. As the season advances, says the New York Tribune’s fashion writer, it becomes evident that the huge expanse of sleeve stiffened out with hair cloth, and even with wire, and I the wide circular skirt of the | French gowns must be modified to J suit American taste. The sleeves made by fashionable dressmakers | are no longer the excessive size they were a mouth ago, when the French models first arrived, and hair cloth has been adjured for stiffening them. The best dressmakers hold out the sleeve with a light crinoline inter lining and a silk lining, which is cut the size of the sleeve. The sleeve is also finished with a second fitted lining of light maraline silk, that further serves to hold the ex panded top iu place. The circular skirt is also much modified. The skirt with wide circular side gore, narrow front breadth and three or five godets at the back is generally preferred to the regular circular skirt, which dressmakers now re commend chiefly for dancing and other elaborate gowns of finely tex tures. The new skirts are seldom lined throughout with haircloth, as they were at one time, but the stiffener is used to the depth of ten inches only. The skirt is first lined throughout with silk, the haircloth is theu laid around the lower part of the skirt and is covered with silk, making two linings of silk at the lower edge, with the haircloth between. All these linings and iuterlinings serve to hold out the edge of the skirt and yet allow it to fall in that soft, graceful effect which is impossible when the skirt is always a narrow pinked ruffle of silk inside the edge of the skirt. All these linings of silk consume a large amount of material, and the fashionable woman of to-day dis covers that her bill of “findings” is considerably larger than it was in economical days of the “belt skirt.” One dressmaker declares that she has used 45 yards of taffeta iu lining and interlining a single gown during the present epoch of ex pansive sleeves and skirts. Keeping Shoes in Prime Order. A woman hates to get her nice new shoes wet, because it spoils them so, but with care the wetting will not hurt them much. As soon as you can remove the wet shoes do so, and rub them well with a soft rag, to get some of the dampness out and to take off the mud; then rub them with a cloth saturated with kerosene. Get as much of the oil into them as possible, and then till them as full of dry oats as you can and set them aside for a few hours, when apply another coating of kerosene. The stiffness will have disappeared, and the shoe will be iu good shape when you want to don it again. Never try to put on a low shoe unless you have a shoe born; you will be sure to stretch it out ol shape in the back and make it ill-fitting, Keep the buttons sewed on your shoes and good strings in your laced boots, unless you want the men to say you are a “slouch.” Have a pastepatch put over the first sign of a break in your shoe, and they will keep in shape and last twice us long. Buy good shoes if possible, (’heap ,shoes and cheap gloves are a snare for the unwary. They get out of shape, are ill-fitting aud do not wear well. It is false economy to buy cheap foot or hand shoes. Fashions in Pearl Buttons, The tin de siecle fashion runs to extremes, and the new buttons are as large as butter plates. The latest design, is cut in smoked pearl.

Agent, Onion and Lettuce Salad Should Be Eaten During the Spring. To prepare this salad take two heads of lettuce, a small Spanish onion, six tablespoonfnls of olive oil, three of vinegar, half a tea spoonful of salt and one-eiglith of a teaspoonful of pepper. After mixing the salt and pepper with the oil add the vinegar, and stir thoroughly. Strip off and put aside the green leaves of lettuce, and, after washing the heart leaves in cold water, drop them into a pan of ice M ater to make them crisp. Peel the onion. It is well to peel it under water. With a sharp knife cut it into shavings. Shake the lettuce in a colander until it is free of water. Put the lettuce and onion into a salad bowl in alternate layers, sprinkling a little of the dressing upon each layer. Serve the salad as soon as possible after it is made. What to do With Old Soap. 111 every household there are small pieces of soap, remaius ol cakes used for various purposes. I These accumulate, and it is some times not easy to know what to do with them. One woman has solved the problem of dropping them in hot water until they are soft, then firmly pressing them to a largei cake until they adhere and become to all intents and purposes incor porated with the larger mass. Thu is economy that is worth while. I Another way is to have a pot in I which is dissolved some washing j soda, a cupful to half a gallon of ! water. Into this all of the smal. | pieces of soap are thrown, where they dissolve by an occasional stir I i% r - I This compound is invaluable foi ' scrubbing snelves, kitchen tables or J floors, any woodwork where there n no paint. It must not be used oi ■ painted doors and windows, as it b fatal to the finish and soon wears ii I o f. . Small pieces of soap are, as a rule, wasted. Of course, it seems a little thing at the time, but during the year the aggregate is considerable. ! A little shaving of toilet soap is one of the meanest things to handle , when one is in a hurry. A gooe use for these is to put them into a • common fruit jar with a tight cover. Fill the jar half full of water and add a couple of tablespoonsful ol ammonia and a heaping teaspoon ful of powdered borax. The soap will dissolve, and, with the am monia and borax makes a most per fect shampoo for the heads ol children when they become so dirtj by out of door romping or am dusty occupation. It is also excel lent to j)our into the hath or to dij the cloth in to scrub little grinn hands and arms. It is a waste of time to try tc ■ handle small pieces of soap when they may be pnt to such excellent use as those just noted. Songs have the power to quiet The restless pulse of care, And come like the benediction That follows after prayer.
