One of the fads of the German Emiperor
is to oblige woikingmeu to insure
their lives. His syste.11, asserts the Boston
CuUivilor, is very unpopular. It requires
about thirty years for these insurance
policies to mature, and if, through
sickness or misfortune, payment ceases .
without death of the insured, all that is
^ paid is iost. It is regarded as nnothcr
scheme to tax the people, as all tne employes
and soldiers of the empire have a
Let of their wages deducted to contribute
to the Hminulsnry insurance fund. There
?? ? n'ccc. ntiiiy many policies that lapse.
If workingmen want insurauco they
should organize c tmpanies 011 the mutual

the benefit of the lapsed policial.

these niaiueuvres 1 have been very much
struck by tlie thoroughness of all the
trausport, catering, an I other arrangements,
down to the minutest detail, as
well as by the remarkable endurance of
the troops. The regularity with which
the sevcrn' regiments arrrived at their
destinations, and were fed and rested,
was simply marvellous, considering the
distauccs covered and the prevailing
heat. Everything went like clockwork.
The Twenty-fifth Division bivouacked in
fields lying to the north of Mulhausen.
They were encamped in rings about
forty yards iu diameter. A canvas fence
two and one-half feet high was put up
around each ring for the protection of
the men when reposing at night from
|thc wind, and in the ceutre of oach ring
la big bonfire was lit to warm the sleeper?,
who lay in two rows. One company,
jcomprising 139 men, lay, in each ring.

offers as a substitute State banks of issue, t
if i *- ?? -? -
j /i tiv iiivaus Dut:u imuKs ivs inose wiiu ex- i
istcd before the war, having the name or
' similar powers and privileges, his plan is
, open to these object ions: )
1. The plan is not honest. No indi- I
I vidual or corporation has the right to live c
3 *n(^ grow rich on the interest of the t
money he or it owes. I mean just what d
r 1 say?-"on the interest of the money he r

I what the "State bunk" of Senator Hut- a
k ler's does. The bank issues for every c
I of coin it holds lhrec(inore or less) d
t "promises to pay" dollars. If the issue tl
is three dollars in \ aper promises Tor one tl
^ dollar iu gold, of course two of these bills h
rest ouly upon "thin and insubstautial a
III ml II t
notes which arc the mere "promises to *
pay" of the bank?the people pay inter- t
est- to the bank, to the extent of two5
thirds of its issue, and tho bank is enabled
to grow rich upon the interest on
. that money which it owes to and has promised
to pay the people. I leave out *>f J'
view the interest the bank collects upon ^
the money it owes to depositors. The ^
s old "free banking system" is no better.
2. There is grave doubt as to its
^ constitutionality. Tho trend of decisions,
and of culightened public sentiment
Is certaiuly against it. The national gov.
trnmcol alone has the right to make
money. The States have delegated the
^ Ai.iu iiwxtiov tax tli* frpiwral ornV
. jmjwui iv IA/AU IIIVUVJ w n'v ftVMv. n" eminent.
Can the Btatc delegate to the

the constitution?

'I character. It is legislation in favor of'
,y money capitnliH^^^^ct^^^^^^p^ ^
i- go backxagain into the mire froui whicli
r? we arc just beginning to emerge. Apart
e from the curse of sin, the delegated powc
or of one class to create money and exact
i. interest for its us? from all other classes
a has caused more misery and suffering to
y the human race than nil other causes com- j
it hincd. It has created the rich to live in
'. luxury and ease, hut at the expense of |
it the poor who must live in squalor aud

it knowledge of the past, however bitter
the picsent waters or burning the present ,

5- No; the substitute will not do. The 1
people have gotten too far along in their 1
study of political economy to return to an
