Mckinley says the peoples party viii
cut no figure in the Ohio campaign this
fall. About year ago the republicans
were making about the same assertions
about the peoples party in this state,
but after election they changed their
minds. s.-Carital, St. John Kan.
Funny, isn't it that the government
can make a national bankers note good
by signing Il with the banker, but
can't make its own note good bY sign
ing IL by ITSELF Yet that is the absurd
position of all who favor national banks
In preference TO legal tender notes Isl
sued directly TO the people. -Noneon-

If the farmers alliance had collapsed
half as often as the newspaper O91D-
nents have given out news 10 that ef-
feet it would long ago have been for
gotten, but instead OF being forgotten it
is being remembered in very
lively way, and the remembrance
promises 10 bscome even liYelier as the
presidential campaign approaches.

Just before going TO press a dispatch
from Topeka says the "Populist Hand
book is nearly completed at the state
printing Office and promises 10 be the
best book Of the kind ever issued in any
state. The record OF the Kansas re-

that book will be the most telling hlow
ever dealt the party in the state. Non

Everything we eat, everything we
wear, everything we make, all our
movements, all our intercourse, so
! large depend upon transportation but
when this is controlled by corporate
power working for its own aggrandize-
ment, and clothed with authority we
can easily see how it Il that every in
dustry in the land is more or less un-
settled by reason o. this subiection,-

The insinuatlon that It has been on
account OF the lack OF industry, frugal

teen years, more than ever before en-
! quilted the farmers in mortgage indebt-
edness, is wilfully false And no ono
knows il better than many that make

that works harder and practices more
economy than the farmer Monopoly

A contemporary remarks that we
ought to be proud OF our mortgage in
debtedness But the poor fellow who

then payment of the same viii feel any
thing else but proud. Had 10 not been
for the policy Of the moneyed corpora
tions in control OF government there
would be no need OF mortgage indebted
ness. But the currency has been SD
controlled and ali issue 81 tie same
placed upon a basis so small that men
are compelled TO do business on their
debts. s.-Independent Era North Platte,

Do not let your old party prejudice
keep you from studying the sub-treas-
ury plan. DO not let tine old party DOl-
itician deceive aud mislead YOU and
keep you from investigating IT, He
knows that the corrupt leaders OF the
old parties will never work for any
change in our financial system that viii
prove beneficial to the masses, and that
his only hope of keeping you In the old
party ranks is by binding you to the
truth and keeping you in ignorance.
Let the light shine upon you Seek
earnestly and honestly for and open
your heart to receive the trGth and you
need not fear the resuit.-Bevier Mo

The great underlying thought that is
at the bottom Of all the principals OF
the farmers alliance IL the overflow OF
the present unfair, unjust and iniqui-
tous system OF national finances. and
the institution Of another that places
that places the government nearer to
the people, the treasury nearer the
Masses instead Of the classes. 1t is the
determination Of the people to hold and
enjoy the fruits Of honest labor instead
Of standing by and seeing others enjoy
them whilst they suger. This they are
determined to have and noteing can
stop the movement / Arkansas Farmer
