"A popular industry at present is
the manufacture of stories about the

Ohio and other states, it will eventual
ly present a very picturesque ruin
New Nation.
Squeeze the water out of railroad
stocks; let Uncle Sam then pay the
stockholders what the roads are hon
estly worth, and then let the roads be
run in the interest of the people. If
the companies think this confiscation,
then parallel the roads That's busi-
ness!-EXchange.
Without direct loans of full legal
tender money to the people there is no
hope for American labor short of pow
erty, want and the most abject serf-
dom. The alliance can never be in
duced to give up the theory of direct
loans of full legal tender bills direct to
the people.

investigation had thoroughly vindicated
Dr. Macune." So says President Nc

The government can guarantee
loans for railroad corporations and pay
the interest besides; it can loan its
credit to national banks and furnish
them money without interest; it can
take the liquid damnation of the dis.

business men ought to be shrewG
enough to see where their interests lie.
The $4,000 failures of last year should
teach them that the road to bankruptcy
is growing easier every year. The bus
mess mems interests are in common
with those of the farmer and laboring
man. When these prosper, the bust
ness mans day of prosperity is also a
hand. Their political interests, too
are identical. The farmer and labor
ing man are on the right side. Whe1
will the business man get there?
