CONSUMMATED The financial has passed Uie House and it is certain to go through the Semite When President McKin ley puts the finishing touches to the with his signature the consummation of tho aim and purpose of t ie money power of the world will be plainly seen In a previous editorial we asserted that the main purpose sought by t ie Is to perpetuate the national debt of the United States ana to make the masses of the American people pay tribute until tho end of time to the interest eating class As the establishes the gold standard and makes all public and private obligations payable in gold alone it is apparent that it is a physical and econom c Impossibility for the debtor class to meet their obligations The most they can hope for is to be able to rake and scrape up enough to meet the interest charges It may be conceded that the production of gold Is increasing but if all the gold since Adam was born and that wil be mined In the next thousand years was available there would not be enough to pay the present and prospective debts of the world The which has just passed the house with the unanimous vote of the Republican is an in deli b e record of Republican perfidy and deception on the money question The Republican national convention of 1896 declared for International bimetallism and such men us Allison and McKinley aud Indeed every Republican speaker of note declared it the purpose of the party to promote bimetallism by agreement Had the Republican party dared to declare for the policy of this infamous it would have been overwhelmingly defeated It was not thought possible that the Republican party would dare to wipe out tho greenback but the ultimate effect of Hie will 1 do that very thine The provides that the of greenbacks outstanding when paid Into the Irons ury shall not be paid out again exc cept for gold and it will not be long before a greenback In circulation will 1 be a curiosity The bloodstained i greenback will repose on a marble 1 slab in tho treasury morgue and the s only Hind of paper money in tlon will be the paper of the banks 1 on Which Bum has placed his a endorsement c It la significant that about the time this infamous was whipped c through the house that there was a t panic on Wall street several big ures and that the clearing house nso was forced to come to the f rescue We predict that the adoption of the European style of finance in tc this country will be attended with Ir grave dangers and that before the presidential campaign of next year opens these conspirators will Dud that p they have overreached themselves It will be the duty of the Democratic party to face this question with the Ir undaunted spirit of lackson met t ft similar emergency in 1837 it is idle lo talk of subordinating the money question next year We must in k voke the national to assort itIn Keif We cannot believe that the American havo surrendered their financial Independence o tho money power of Europe and that they v arc prepared to accept the conditions ELECTED At the semiannual meeting of tho federal Labor union held Monday for the election of officers tho were elected President W Jayne vice president William Campbell financial secretary S A recording secretary Frank treasurer M P Maher Joe Dippert guide Harry Mould Charles A Cook Thomas and Frank deletes to the Trades and Lahor W IT Jayne Frank Craig E J Mould and Frank Jones This is one reason why Senator Gear has a personal popularity attained by no other politician in the history of the state Mr Cummins is also a man of engaging qualities He Is bright and and he enjoys large n Des Moines His public career to one term in the lower house f the Iowa legislature The fact that he was elected by Democrats and with the Democratic members in seen ng the appeal of the prohibitory aw is greatly to his credit but the cranks of the Republican party art irg ng this fact as an objection to hla candidacy As the Republican party if Iowa accepted Mr Cummins view o IB foolishness of prohibition and the mulct law it would seem hat they ought to be estopped from fault with him on this score ho fact that Mr Cummins supported he candidacy nf Horace Boies for is also urged against him Hit Mr Cummins in this respect is no lore subject to criticism than of other Republicans The only of Mr Cummin course we avo to offer is for his failure to relain with Democratic in he found himself very much at ome for a while at least As far as the people en masse are it doesnt make much which of the two men is elect d senator Both represent the corporations and both are pledged o stand by he Interests of the c classes of Uie country At the resent outlook Senator Gear would scm o have the best of the fight The machine seems to be at Is back Senator

federal of the stato are working sr Senator Gears reelection In the language of the sporting Senator Gear is a hot favorite 1 10 what the worker costs for support No honest man will tramp t will probably be a surprise to many of our readers to learn that there IB such a plan In operation in both New York and Boston Such s t ie case nevertheless aud it Is giving splendid satisfaction Before that plan was adopted the city was filled with tramps and beggars every winder Every police station and public In the city was overrun with 1 em Since the law wai passed ng employment for those who were idle it has rid those almost entirely of loafers It baa also done touch lessening the petty thieving which hod formerly been so Tills work should not be considered IB It is the duty o ts unfortunate members In the struggle to get to the front If Borne lo get ahead others must fall behind t IB always the weaker ones who fail least able to get up when nee down The day will come when every city f any pretensions will bo provided a public municipal employment tatlon where anyone who chooses o avail him or herself of It can get vork that will support them and their ea till more remunerative can be obtained When that me comes large sections of our jails m penitentiaries can be closed and the tenement hovel forever entirely free from the lawless and viciously Inclined but experience has shown that certain conditions or causes produce certain effects Therefore when wo can remove tho caus the effect must go with 1L We know that poverty idleness together with the idea that work is degrading has been tho cause of tho larger portion of crime Therefore it should be the object of society to eliminate these causes just as rapidly as possible No man should seek employment in vain No child should be allowed to pass hig youth In Idleness No man or woman should feel safe to trust their future with a companion who considered work as degrading even though In circumstances which do not compel them to earn a livelihood The Idle boy or girl can never reach the itgbest development either mentally or physically God intended that man should work and tha noblest are those whoso minds and have been employed The child who has nothing else to take up Us attention is than likely to get into mischief not because it Is vicious but for want of ai y thing else to do The same is true i of tho man or woman whatever may bo tho cause of idleness To ester minato the criminal we would recommend work To prevent the criminal the same prescription only in somewhat lighter doses Along this line Charlotte Perkins Stetson writes as follows In tho Saturday Evening Post As society grows selfconscious It becomes aware that some of itself docs not behave well Without touching
