KUEE LAND, l'A., JULY 30, 1806.
llow Hankers Are Getting Control.
Within the last three years the gov
ernment has issued 4 per cent bonds to
the enormous amount of $202,000,000.
Never before, in the history of the
world, has any nation placed such a
debt upon its people in times of peace.
'onscrvativo estimates place the bond
issues of coming years at at least SIOO,-
uoo,ooo annually, probably double that
amount. How long the government
■•an stand such a financial policy cannot
be answered oIT-hand, but already its
eject is felt in every corner of our coun
try.
To maintain a reserve of $100,000,000
in gold in the treasury these bonds must
be issued as soon as the reserve drops
iielow the hundred-million mark. That
is the only method which our financiers
can devise to replenish the treasury.
The gold received for the bonds come
from the hanking houses of the country,
who assume a patriotic attitude in fur
nishing the same, and the credit
••f the nation is then placed above
••suspicion."
Quietly, then, those same patriotic
hankers begin presenting treasury notes,
and all other kinds of representative
money which comes into their posses
sion, to the treasury and demand that
they be redeemed. All United States
money, whether actual or so-called, is
redeemable in gold only, gold alone
being recognized by the government as
The logical consequence follows. The
irokl reserve in the treasury dwindles
down, down, down, until it goes below
the hundred-million mark. Then a hue
, aud cry i> raised that the credit of the
LToverinent is in danger. Again the
Shy locks of America and Europe benov
• lently offer to exchange for bonds the
gold which a short time previous they
withdrew from the government vaults.
Ih>nds again are issued, and another
mortgage is placed upon posterity.
Again the notes are presented for re
demption, and so ou it will continue
until the molded interests of the world
Wave America bound hand and foot,
then they can throw off their patriotic
mask and become, not literally, but in
reality, the dictators of the United
States government, as they now dictate
in several European countries.
Who Are the I'utrioLs?
The cyclone of abusive epithets is still
being hurled at t he Democratic platform.
Its builders are not only "lunatics,"
•idiots," "madmen," "insane foils,"
; "cranks/" "robbers," "rcpudiationists,"
! "criminals" and a good deal else, but,
i most unkind cut of all, they are un
! patriotic. A grave charge truly; not one
I lo be lightly advanced against an in
dividual, much less against a large par
i i\. and hardly at all against a nation.
Who are the accused and accusers? It
is beyond all question that the element
I .if our people most keenly interested in
t he success of the free-silver movement
! are the millions who ask a living from
their mother, the land. She is agon-
I 'Ton# mother and they have good reason
; to work for her and love her, but in
! >pit.e of her fruitfulness and their toil
there are curses upon her and upon
I them, and one curse is a fraudulent
I money system.
j Does anybody pretend that the labor
ers and farmers of America, not isolat
; ed cases, but as a class, have received
i their just reward? Does anybody
believe that this country can be happy
and prosperous while half its people are
banging over the abyss of bankruptcy?
Well, these are the people who are sup
! posed to be not only criminally insane, :
| but dishonest and unpatriotic, and their i
| accusers are the money lending tribe i
! whoso only excuse for existence is the j
i poverty of their fellows.
As the page of history, in this or any
•t.lier nation, past or present, has not
yecßeen written which records the pa
riot isi, ~f money traffickers, they should
surely in 11,(. last to accuse the toiling
millions of a 'sick of patriotism.
I Not Follow Their Loiul.
The leaders of the Democracy in
Philadelphia, quite a number of whom
have been reported as bolters, should
know by this time that the country
Democracy, as the Demociits outside
the Quaker City are called, do ot follow
their lead. This has been demon- ■
st,rated so often that any one tut a
Dhiladel pbia Democrat would hive
known it long ago, and it must ho u
little galling to them to learn, and they
are learning it in this campaign, that
country Democrats have think-tanks of
their own and are capable of choosing
their way without instructions from the
metropolis.
LIVE QUESTIONS.
A Series of Articles Contributed by
Advuuced Tlilnkers.
CO-OPERATION A FACTOR IN SOCIAL
REFORM.
The direction In which I look for the great
est Improvement In social economy Is the sup
pression of the vast number of middlemen who
share among themselves HO largo a proportion
of the produce of the country, while the serv
ices they render, though Indispensable, might,
be us well and better performed by a tenth
part of tlior number.—J. 8. Mill.
There is, in my opinion, no greater social
marvel than the manner in which these socie
ties (co-operative) flourish, combined with a
consideration of the soundness of the basis on
which they are built.—W. E. Gladstone.
When a few workingnien who had
failed in a strike for an increase in
wages met and decided upon co-opera
tion as a more effectual remedy and
one better fitted to secure to the workers
the full enjoyment of the wealth they
created, the first step in "practical" so
cial reform was taken. The terra prac
tical is hero used to denote the differ
ence which has always existed and still
exists between the two classes of social
reformers—namely, those who advocate
state ownership of the means of produc
/r£/v,
JOIIN SAMUEL,
tion and distribution, and those who
hold that certain soeiul evils—the evil
of poverty, for instance—may be most
speedily and effectually abolished by
united individual effort.
The founders of the Rochdale system
of 00-operation were socialists, but of
that school which taught that those
evils which affected them in their social,
domestic and industrial relations, and
which were in their power to remove,
they ought to remove without waiting
for or expecting aid from the state. How
sound and correct were their views upon
the subject before experience furnished
the pr<xf appears in the result.
THE ROCHDALE EQUITABLE PI6NKEKs'
SOCIETY—ITS ORIGIN AND PROGRESS.
As already stated, the founders of the
co-operative system, failing in the
strike, formulated the following pro
gramme as bettor calculated to ac
complish the objiict aimed at—
the improvement of their financial,
domestic and social position. First,
they would open a store for the supply
of ordinary household requirements;
second, employ surplus profits of busi
ness in erecting moro comfortable homes
for members; third, fiuding employ
ment for members when idle—in short,
to readjustee commercial and indus
trial machinery of society. Many
months were consumed, such was their
extreme poverty, in raising, by the
weekly contribution of 4 cents, the
small capital of $l4O, with which they
commenced business. With 28 members
and this amount of capital a store was
opened Dee. 21, 1844.
THE ECONOMIC BASIS OF CO-OPERATION.
FIXED RATE OF INTEREST ON CAPITAL.
PROFITS, IN THE STORE, TO THE CON
SUMER ; IN THE WORKSHOP,TO THE PRO
DUCER.
In his interesting history of the Roch
dale pioneers Mr. George Jacob llol
yoako says, "The founders of the so
ciety were opposed to capital absorbing
all profit arising from trade, and to hit
upon a plan that should give propor
tionally the gain to the persons who
make it was u problem they had to
solve."
After some discussion the plan of di
viding profits on purchases was adopted.
Five per ceut. per annum wus allotted
to capital. The remaining profits, after
providing for expense of management,
depreciation and other charges, less 2f£
per cent for educational purposes, were
divided quarterly umong purchasers in
proportion to each one's trade at the
store. The educational feature will be
more fully noticed presently.
When Mr. Gladstone made the speech
in parliament in 1804, un extract from
which is prefixed to this paper, the
Rochdale society was Hearing the close
of the twentieth year of its operations.
The society hud grown during those 20
years from 28 members to 4,747, with
an increase in capital from *l4O to
$310,525. Its sales tin' first year,amount
ing to $3,550, with a profit of sllO, in
18(14 had reached $874,655, with profits
amounting to $115,585. In addition to
the store the society hud, during those
20 years, entered into several linos of
production. At tin• very time when, as
Wendell Phillijis said, "The two halves
of this nation were in deadly conflict,"
the Rochdale pioneers had in operutiou
a corn mill,two cotton mills and a land
and building society. Their first invest
ment in the latter enterprise was SIOO,-
000 in land on which to build homes for
its members. The society's investment
in the two Cotton mills exceeded $400,-
000, and the equipment of these mills
in machinery, sanitation, etc., was pro
nounced equal to anything of the kind
in the country. The number of em
ployees in these enterprises, including
the store, at this time ran up into the
hundreds. This was the way these pov
erty stricken weavers, working for 50
'cnts a day, proposed to furnish a prac
tical demonstration of the tiresome plat
itude too frequently heard from work
ingnien that "labor creates all wealth."
The pioneers showed that tlicy not only
knew how to create wealth, but how to
distribute it equitably after it was cro
ated, uiul the 500 flourishing stores in
existence .at that time, pronounced by
Mr. Gladstone u "social marvel," were
the most convincing proof to liiui of
that "extraordinary intelligence and
self acting power" ho said they dis
played in tbc-ir efforts to emancipate
themselves from their degraded condi
tion. The testimony of the committee
of management at the close of 1804, in
view of flic results achieved, is worthy
of study.
"Twenty years have now passed away
Biuco a few workingmcii in Rochdale,
despairing of success in a strike against
giant capital for an advance of wages,
resolved to form a co-operative society
the objects of which were the improve
ment of thier social and domestic con
dition. That co-operation is superior to
strikes for accomplishing their objects
few will dispute. That it is more con
ducive* to tho happiness of the greatest
number than competition there is no
question. That it will ultimately prove
the salvation of the laboring class there
is little doubt. If we take a retrospec
tive glance at the success of the past 20
years, it is indeed gratifying and cheer
ing. When we consider that the aggre
gate profits of tho society alone amount
to $(133,000, we must be satisfied that
tho social and domestic condition of its
ineniliers are improved, put, much as
has been done, there still domains much
to do. The original programme is not
finished. Tho next 20 years may see co
operation developed in higher forms
and the laboring class elevated to a po
sition of independence and happiness
never before enjoyed."
At the close of its jubilee year, De
cember, 1804, the society had an en
rolled membership of 12,5)14, with a
share capital of $1,755,05)0, sales for
the year $1,425,715 and profits amount
ing to $243,585. During these 50 years
the business done amounted t0540,048,-
350 and had returned in dividends to
members $5,850,000. In addition to
these financial benefits, the society had
found steady employment for hundreds
of its members, and its annual payment
in wages was about $75,000. For many
years tho society had made annual
grants to the charitable institutions of
its own and other towns of hundreds of
dollars.
EDUCATION, THE CROWNING GLORY OF
THE PIONEERS.
It was the intense interest in educa
tion that constituted the distinguishing
feature of the Rochdale system of co
operation. Nor did they wait until they
were "well off" to put this part of their
scheme into effect. As the law did not
at the time permit the appropriation of
profits made in business to any other
purpose than the payment of dividends
thereon, the pioneers commenced their
educational work by voluntary contri
butions.
At tho closo of 1894 the circulating
library contained 15,114 volumes and
tho reference libraries 2,585 volumes,
making a total of 17,099 volumes. Tho
society has 20 newsrooms attached to
as many branch stores for the conven
ience of its members. During the win
ter months lectures 011 exploration and
scientific subjects arc given. 111 1873
the society introduced its art and science
classes for the sons and daughters of its
members, and able teachers were em
ployed as instructors. Hundreds of youths
of botli sexes who worked in mills,
workshops and other occupations wero
thus enabled to acquire the advantages
of education not otherwise so easily ob
tained and were better fitted and equip
ped for the discharge of life's duties. It
was to the importance of the education
al work done by the pioneers that the
Rev. Dr. Maclure, dean of Manchester,
bore the strong testimony expressed in
tho following extract from an address
delivered by him at tin* celebration of
tho thirty-fourth anniversary of tho
Manchester and Salford Equitable so
ciety, January, 1894. 111 tho course of
his remarks tho dean said: "Long be
fore a muddling or meddling department
of tho Htate—tho science and art depart
ment-—commenced to paddle its own
canoe along the stream of educational
progress the science and art classes of
the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers' Co
operative societies were in full course
and wero doing a remarkable work, a
work which was second to 110 other, and
which he hoped would not be posned
aside by any other combination either of
technical schools or any other move
ment. The Rochdulo society was also
among the few societies of a limited li
ability character which discovered that
it had a soul to be saved. The charity
of the Equitable pioneers was shown
long beforo some other societies learned
to open their pockets, and it led tho way
by sending year by year a subscription
toward tho funds of tho Rochdale in
firmary. Tin* real principle of true co
operation was the one embodied in the
New Testament the principle of
'Looking not on every man 011 his own
things, but alsooll the things of others.'
They had an admirable illustration of
co-operation in the carrying out of that
great enterprise, tho ship canal.
"When the history of this century
comes to be read, it will be found that
co-operation has clone much to bring
the different classes of this great country
into closer contact and into a truer bond
if brotherhood." And ho urged those
present to do all they could to promote
that spirit of true paternal life which
was, after all, the backbone of any true
community. If they did this, whether
by the co-operative movement or any
other agency, "depend upon it they could
rely upon the sympathy und co-operation
of any man, whatever cloth ho wears,
who loves his country, his fellow work
man and liis God." JOHN SAMUEL.
It is a stubborn fact tliat the masses
fo the people of this country are not
enamored with our present civil service
system, and the evidence is multiplying
oil every hand that there is a growing
dissatisfaction with its workings and an
ever increasing desire on the part of the
people to substitute a system of really
representative government for tho sham
and fraud which we call a democratic,
representative government.
THE TWO PLATFORMS.
Views of ii I'rofttHKor of Political Kcono
iny on the Silver Issue.
Tho Chicago platform 011 silver is most
eloquent, tho substanco of its demand
being that silver shall be treated exactly
as gold is in the mints of tho United
States. We have free coinage of gold.
Whoever takes gold bullion to the mint
can have it coined into live or ten-dollar
pieces at tho standard fixed by law. and
can c: r.'y ofT ids coins after paying tho
cost of coinage. Or, to save him time,
the mint will give him gold coin at once
and take his gold bullion in exchange.
Tho Chicago platform proposes that ex
actly the same rule shall apply to silver,
and whoever owns silver bars shall have
the right to have them converted into
standard dollars, at tin; ratio of count
ing sixteen ounces of silver worth'one of
gold. The government is simply to act
as tiie agent of the owner of tho bullion,
and to get a small percentage in return
for use of its coining machinery.
The Republicans say: "We also will
be ready for this as soon as wo can get
other countries to agree with us to do tho
same. We do not think it safe or wise
for us to do this without their co-opera
tion, as we would bo undervaluing gold
and overvaluing silver if we coined both
freely at 10 to 1. in that case all experi
ence showp that we would see our gold
exported or hoarded, and as wo have
between .$4ro,ooo,ooo and $000,000,000, we
cannot afford such a frightful and sud
den contraction of tho currency as this.
It would bring on a panic. And as we
alone, and unaided by other countries
cannot bring silver back to its old rantio
with gold, we would get a dollars worth
less than any dollar we ever had in this
country. As all debts would be payable
in this new dollar, the change would
amount to 'scaling' all the debts we owe
either to our own countrymen or to for
eigners. Of course, international bi
metallism, if we had it, would also
amount to a lowering of the value of the
dollar, but this would be to a reasonable
extent, and not to tho ruin or even t! 0
injury of the creditor class. Ameriacu
creditors would suffer unduly severe
losses under free coinage, and our credit
abroad would be ruined."
The Democratic case is to tills effect:
"Our present situation is intolerable, and
something must be done. We, too, would
like to act in concert with other nations,
but we son no prospect of that, so we
must act alone. Many even of the news
p.pers which support Mr. McKinley tell
us there is not the smallest chance of an
international agreement to restore bi
metallism. The clause in the Republican
platform about 'promoting' interna
tional bimetallism they excuse as
amounting to nothing. It certainly points
out no way in which bimetallism is to 1 0
promoted by Mr. McKinley if he should
be elected. What we propose is definite,
and seeks the relief of the people from a
monetary system which has doubled the
weight of all debts in the last quarter of
a century, and has crushed industries
which enjoyed adequate protection, such
as iron and silk, equally with those 011
which there lias been a great reduction
of duties.
"As to our losing our gold, it Is bound
to go at any rate uudor the existing sys
tem, and lias been going for years. Free
coinage will not make it go faster, be
cause our own silver will keep our mints
busy at coinage, and foreigners cannot
exchanged their bullion silver or silver
coingae, as was done in 1835, when tho
French bought up our undervalued sil
ver by bringing their gold.
"As to injury to the, creditor class, if
we must choose betwben that and ruin to
the far greater debtor class, we choose
the less of two evils. Rut we do not ad
mit that any such ruin will be effocttd.
If our government really assumes the
tadf of restoring the credit of silver, as
it did not when it passed the (mutilated)
Rhtnd law and the shilly-shally Sherman
law, the result will be such a restoration
of the credit of silver as will cause tl e
two metals to draw near to each other
again. This will make an international
agreement both possible and inevitable."
Such seems to me to be the cases that
may be. made for both parties. It will be
seen that both contain a large element
of prophecy, especially that of the
friends of silver. Rut it lias the merit
of proposing deli 11 ito action to cure an
evil which is very great indeed. The
Republican platform neither shows an
adequate sense of the evil, nor indicates
how it is going to deal effectively with
it. Rout. Eli. is Thompson.
Denis (). Coughlin, who was a dele
gate to the Populist national convention,
is spoken of as a candidate for tho
Democratic congressional nomination.
When Baby was Bick, WO gave her Castorla.'

Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys "Worms and allays
feverishncss. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves
teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach

toria is the Children's Panacea—the Mother's FvCud.
Castoria.
11 Castor!a is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatodljr told mo of its
good effect upon their children/'
DR. Q. C. OSGOOD,
Lowell, Moss.
" Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which lam acquainted. I hope tho day is not
fur distant when mothers willconsider the real
interest of their children, and uso Castoria in
stead of the variousquack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves."
