Banks cannot The people who have deposited or $3,000,000,000 In the banks try to draw It out and fall for the simple reason that there is only In the country and but a percentage of that In the banks. This is a panic. The New Time Is more than half right. But no factory ever expects Its workmen to buy Its products. The basis of the market Is the farmer. There is never a panic when farm products are high In price, because then the farmer's demand for goods When farm keeps the mills open. products fall so low that It takes the whole crop to pay taxes and Interest, a panic Is due. Such a time is any year, under the gold standard, when the world's crops are heavy. Besides, the increase In the rent of land, which always approaches nearer and nearer to the point at which production becomes impossible, would alone cause periodical depressions. We must abolish land monopoly. We must have And, first of all, we postal banks. must open the mints to silver and provide a volume of currency large enough to maintain prices. Panics are totally unnecessary. But It Is absolutely certain that we shall have our regular periodical panics as long as we take our politics from the Chicago Tribune and vote for such men as Thomas B. Reed and the President whose fame Reed made by appointing him chairman of the ways and means committee. $2,000,-000,0- 00 so ASSERT THE GOLDBUC PRIESTS.

ReM has furnished, at .great length a1 a greater price, to the New York World, his theory of panics and booms. He professes to believe that we are now having a business boom of Republican proportions, but warns us that we must prepare for another panic and industrial depression, because under the only social arrangements that he knows anything about panics will continue to come and there is no way of stopping them. Mr. Reed j says: Men and nations and the whole civilized part of the race go from one extreme to another. These alternations seem as necessary as the ebb and flow of the tides of the ocean. When the business of the world gets Inflated at certain periods it will go too' far, and then there must be a settlement It must be settled who owns the property, and until that is established nothing else can be done. Those who nominally own property resist this. They hope some miracle will help. Then after settlement If any laws be deemed necessary they must be passed or there will be further delay. Some false starts may be taken, like that to which the Venezuelan war, cloud gave such a - chilling frost The returns from the wheat crop and the other cereals spent In purchases starts the nation to work. When the nation once gets to work. It will not stop until It gets out of gear again, and then It will halt, and then It will go on again, a succession of like events forever and forever." This Is the best cheer we can get from the greatest man In the Republican party, the man who made McKinley." Probably it never occurred to Mr. Reed that the nation might Just have been set to work years the returns' from silver mining ago by spent in purchases. About how soon may we expect the told machine to get out of gear again and another Industrial depression to take Its turn? Next year. Because next year there will In all probability be large crops all over the world, gold .standard prices for farm products will reappear, and the returns from the sale of wheat and other cereals not being sufficient to make many purchases, the factories will once more close down and .a large proportion If not a majority of our population will again be face to 'face will starvation. So let us make the most of our present prosperity. It Is with us for but fone year, and then men who nominally own property will have to giving It up again to their creditors, be-g- ln who really own it. And even when we have prosperity some people dont know how to enjoy 1L The latest Issue of a paper published In Speaker Reed's own region, 'the Johnston, R.

England are closing their doors on all ;sides and the managers are busy explaining that McKinley and the tariff .have nothing to do with it. The docile wage slaves who ambled meekly along In protection and prosperity parades purely to please themselves and by no means at the behest of their bosses are acting as though they didnt hear arlgfct. None of them has the courage to cry out: Sold again. That Is their '.condition nevertheless. The New Time asks the Chicago iTribune, the Chicago jthe New York Sun. the New York the the St Louis and other 'Louisville Courier-Journpapers which pose as public educators ;if they expect another panic. It asks them to give logical reasons why shall not repeat Itself. It asks (them to defend a system which con'd emns the world to enforced Idleness ;and suffering seven years out of every ten.

Panics come on an average once In (seventeen years (the Tribune figured 1819 to 1867 and omijthe average from tted the panic of 1887.

' 'followed by a slow recovery, then by a period of good times, then by a boom, and the boom usually brings another collapse from over speculation. Perfectly correct," says the New Time, excepting 'overspeculation. The collapse is brought about by the fact that the people cannot purchase back that which they have produced. Their wages will not buy that which they have created. They cannot consume the surplus. The factories cannot sell .their products. They shut down. The ,men are thrown out of work. They are no longer producers, and if they consume it Is by an expenditure of their savings while at work or by the Prices fall Mer grace of charity.

In a personal letter to the editor of the Farmers Voice, one of the leading officials of the state of Kansas writes as follows upon this subject: To my mind the vital Interests of the day can all be embraced In the one proposition :The Corporations vs. the People, uud in the near future the question that will be asked with reference to any candidate for official position will be. not is he a Republican or a Democrat or a Populist? But Is he for the people or for the corporations? "All the evils of which we complain can be traced directly to corporation rule. It Is the corporation that corrupts legislatures, courts and public officials. In fact, if the people may live, corporations must die. Ultimately all corporations except those that are must be wiped out; purely this power of combining capital must be confined to organizations for the peoples good and not for private gain. The growth of private monoply now going forward in this country Is the most threatening danger to the republic, and It Is a hopeful sign that such men as the writer of the letter quoted from are seeking means to check and ultimately destroy it Farmers Voice.

Mr. Bland said that he desired a "large volume of money, and that he wanted to have silver and gold coined, free and unlimited, at the ratio of 16 to I.1 Then he added: If that does not furnish a sufficient circulating medium I would Issue paper money, and I would have that paper money like the old greenbacks redeemable in nothing and good legal tender for all debts, public and private. The fact Is that cotton has never been lower, for any length of time, than at present. Cotton planters are glum and discontented, and the wages of cotton pickers have of necessity fallen lower than ever before. The New York dailies, which have been watching the western horizon for signs of the passing of Populism,' are hysterically shrieking In their anger and fright at this bold defiance from the original silver leader. And the goldbug Galveston News says: This declaration is startling in its deep significance, coming, as It does, from such an acknowledged Dry suite leader.

The Iron Trade Review of Cleveland, Ohio, was one of the loudest goldbug shouters last fall. Now it announces In detail the program of the reign of prosperity which it then promised. Read it carefully and Bee how you like it: The impatient, sneering, Is this prosperity? which accompanies newspaper announcements of reductions in wages. Indicates that then are many who utterly fall to appreciate the conditions under which prosperity of whatever proportions It may prove to be, will come to this country. Wage reductions are certainly a feature of the new prosperity. And then It proceeds to explain that because of the small margin of profit enjoyed by American industries, the American workingman muBt accept lower wages. Hear It: The scale of profits is gone. The basis of profit Is often treated as temThat is porary and transitional. characteristic that promises to stay until industrial capital and labor grow An element that may be used to it. for in the prosperity looked reasonably to come is larger tonnage, much of it gained in foreign trade, which can only be had through lower prices and lower wages. With this will come steadier employment for labor. The prosperity of the future will consist rather in having much to do than In having large profits or high wages. As the Iron Trade Review is published at the home of Prosperity Maker Hanna (who is in the iron business himself), it probably reflects his ideas. Prosperity is to manifest Itself In the form of longer hours of labor at lower wages. It will be hard to recognize prosperity in this strange garb, but the people must get used to 1L ut Tl DR. G. W.

NOT ONE oft-tim- es The movement for the postal savings bank is gaining support from leading men and great newspapers of all parties, and apparently It stands a chance of adoption by unanimous consent, unless the bankers rally and block the way In congress. The safest plan Is to elect a congress not controlled by bankers. Will Carleton, the popular household poet, in his paper, Everywhere, recently published the following under the heading Who Owns the Railroads? It is significant as well as sensible: Nobody owns and land or anything, absolutely: his ' deeds are in effect leases from the government, under which he lives: and under some circumstances, they can be revoked, and the property confiscated. If the situation were analyzed. It would be found that government Is really the owner of everything, and that taxes are the rent which It charges the holder and enjoyer of Its effects. Surely, no other conclusion can be reached; for if property belonged absolutely to the Individual he could control it without reference to government And it is no more than fair that such should not be the case; for without the protection of government, property ceases to be such, and becomes merely the prey of thieves and robbers. "Railroads are iron highways that really belong to The People, which means, or should mean. The Government They are all subpect to the laws of the states through which they paSB, and to those of the United States. The fact that foreigners own a part or all the stock of a railroad, does not make It any less the property of the United States. The time is not very far distant when, without reference to present lines of party, the question will be the government whether agitated should not take possession of its railroad property, reimburse fairly those who have stock In the same, and conduct it as it now does certain other enterprises. Many voters will hold that the profits of such concerns should go to The People who own and patronize .them, and that the losses, when they occur, Bhould fall upon the country at large, rather than upon a certain number of stockholders outside the ring.1 ' "We are not discussing this question: we are only prophesying that it will arise, be seriously considered, and voted upon; and we advise our readers to be thinking the matter over.
