THINK OF THESE FACTS.

Some things to be borne in mind, we
respectfully suggest, are enumerated
and specified below:
1. The railroads of this country are
collecting $500, 900, 600 each year on
fictitious bonds and stocks.
2. The Western Union Telegraph
Company is demanding and collecting
high dividends on $42, 600, 600 Of adj
mittedly watered stock.
8. If the railroads were confined to s
per cent. dividends on the cost of con
structiOn, One-half the present passen-
ger and freight tolls would pay such
dividends and all running expenses.
4. The general government could
duplicate the Western Union lines for
one fourth the amount on which it now
pays dividends.
). VIM. L. Scott. the great coal
baron, says that the proper way of
controlling labor is to make the
laborer eat to-day what he can earn
tomorrow. The New York Tribune
says hat the small farmers must sell
their farms to large landowners and
become tenant farmers. San Fran

Five good reasons why the Sub
Treasury plan should be established:
1. Because it destroys the power
of money to Cypress" No corner can
be made on money when the volume
is flexible.
2. Because it will prevent a general
depression in prices during the season
in which the farmer is a seller.
8. Because it bases money on the
most potential form Of wealth instead
of basing it, as the government now
does, on the representative Of debt.
4. Because it will benefit all classes
alike and break up class privileges.
5. Because its sole object is to in
crease the money in circulation when
there is an increased demand for it's
use. And by increasing the volume
to correspond to increased demand,
prices will not be contracted. Ware
housing and money lending are Incl
dental to the bill but are not objects.
