The second year they mounted up to
1900, 900, and the third year, that is
last year, they reached 5000, 600. The
financial result has been equally bril-
liant, the receipts rising from 9,705, 900
forins annually before the adoption of
the zone system to 2s, 800, 90 forms
this last year.
The zone system was simply IN extra
ordinary reduction of rates on a sys-
tematic plan. No railroad managed for
private profit ever dared to do such a
thing or ever would dare to do it The
whole story Of the zone system is an
overwh Ginning argument for public rail-
road management as not only the least
oppressive but the most progressive
system possible.-New Nation.
About the time of the annual en-
campment of the Knights of Pythias,
which was held in Kansas City last
summer, the newspapers made great
hubbub about the low rates made by
competing railroad lines.
The Chicago Tribune said: 1T costs
only So to travel from Chicago to Kan
sas City, and several persons, they say,
are thinking seriously of going before
long"
In the course of an editorial upon the
subject, the Kansas City Journal said:
''The lower the rates go for the Knights
of Pythias encampment the more peo-
pie will come here, that is evident
Both the Santa Fe and the Alton are
trying to force them down as low as
possible. They have got them down
where big business is assured. They
may take them lower. Kansas City
can rejoice. Whether there will be
any after result to the fight can't be
told. AS a rule when rates go down it
is pretty hard to put them back to the
old figure again. Three dollars from
Chicago to Kansas City is pretty small
sum to pay for a ride; so is a from
Kansas City to Chicago. These rates
should make business 1t can't be ex-
pected that they will remain at that
figure, but if they stay there just few
weeks there is no prospect of ever get
ting them back again-not all the way
back"
There are some very important ad-
missions in the foregoing paragraphs,
chief among which is that the lower
the rates are the more people there are
who travel But we see no reason for
the statement thot the rates cant be
expected to remain at that figure" The
demand made by the peoples party
that the railroads shall be owned and
operated by the people, or the govern
ment, if crystalized into law, would
give US a permanent feature, as low, or
lower rates than those mentioned.
In Hungary, where the government
owns and operates the railroads under
the zone system a passenger can ride
any distance, from 14S to 454 miles, in
first-class compartment of fast express
train, for So S4, and third-class upon
the same train for $1.92. The second
class fare is s. so.

The Inauguration of these rates and
the zone system effected a reduction of
rates of from slightly less than so per
cent. in the case of the shorter dis
tance to within fraction of so per
cent in distance of 454 miles 1t was
expected that the increased volume of
travel would compensate for the lower
charges to individuals, and that the
total revenue would be equal to that
received before the reduction in rates.
The results proved that the Hungarian
government was fully justified in its
expectations.
The system was first inaugurated in
the summer of 1889, and yet from jan
uary l, 1889, to December 81, 1889, there
were 9,097, 200 passengers carried, as
against 5,5S7, 700 for the year 1888, while
the receipts increased from SO, 694, $50 to
81, 126, $40, net increase of 1882, 500
thus proving that reduction in rates
increases rather than diminishes the
revenue receipts and knocking into a
cooked hat the arguments used by the
tools of plutocracy who are organizing
railroad employees into political clubs
for the purpose of antagonizing the
peoples party. Government ownership
and operation of railroads, by reason of
the reduction in rates, would make it
possible for two or three times as many
people to travel and yet so largely in
crease the revenue of the roads as to
make it possible to reduce the hours of
labor and increase the wages of all rail-
road employees.

-"The vote received by Weaver in

that when two great parties struggle
for supremacy in a national election, no
third party can hope for electoral votes
except in a great national crisis 1t
was argued, that while farmers of the
west might vote on side issues during
state campaigns, they would align
themselves with one or the other of the
great parties in the national election.
That belief is also turned over by the
late election 1t will be seen, then, the
result has proved an 'overturn' indeed,

TENANT MAKING.

Use and Occupancy Should BE the Only
Recognized Title to Land.
Centering of lands in the hands of a
few men, or combinations of men, is an
evil that the people ought not to per-
NIT to exist 1t is evident, it needs no
argument, that as lands center in the
hands of the few poverty visits the
homes Of the many. Is it part of the
Makers plans that the masses must be
landless in order that the few may own
millions of acres of land and withhold
them from use unless the millions of
homeless will pay them tribute for the
privilege OF working these lands, with
out which the homeless could not live?
Who believes it?
Yet this is just what is being done in
this glorious land of so-called Christian
civilization, and that, too, through the
operation of laws made by preacher,
layman and sinner
The peoples party fully understands
this 1t knows there can be no pros
perity so long as men are forced into
the condition of renters and wage
workers
1t looks with alarm upon increasing
tenantry and its accompanying evil,
wage serfdoru.
The machinery is now in operation
which will firmly establish the landlord
and tenant system in this country in
spite of our most vigorous efforts to
reach congress and reverse the system.
When we say Landlord and tenant"
system, we mean that a very large ma
jority of our farmers will be tenants
and that few will be landlords
This tenant making machine Is estab-
lshed in every county In the state and
IN every state In the union. It's grind
ing is ceaseless- Tenantry is its grist.
1t were well for the people if they
would wake up to this fact in time to
save themselves from the fate against
which our ancestors waged seven-
