A POPULIST PLAN.



Railroads and Run Them.
CHICAGO. Aus. 6.--sinos the close Of the
silver convention George +. WashbuFn, Of
Boston, chairman Of tho eastern division
OF the national committee Of the Peoples
party. snd Col. A. G. Fisk. OF Denver. Col.
president Of ths Pan American Birnetallio
association. together with other prominent
populists Of the west, have been In consul
tntien with BANKERS. capitalists and rail-
road men OF tho woat, devising \ gigantic
which they think will afford financial rs-
lief to the country and make at once an
Issue Of two o. tho pet planks Of their plat

1t 10 alleged that the money strinRency has
effected transportation so greatly that the
receipts OF many western roads have fallen
OF fuily third and recoiyerships for some
of them have already been asked for. which
would also mean the ruin of the CONNER
cial and industrial interests in every west
ern and southern state. Washburn states
that most OF tho stock OF these roads Ia
held 10 Now England, they being Boston
enterprises. and the loss Of dividends and
the threatened ruin IL rapidly changing
sentiment in that section in favor of gov
ernrusnt ownership OF railroads, A. we'll ~
for bimetAllism. The plan proposed is
that the national government issue bonds
for all legal and just indebtedness. being
governed by the same tenure and contract
which now exists. for the amount estim sted
TO be about two-thirds Of tho value OF the
railroads. and the issuance of legal tender
treasury notes or silver certificates for the
remaining one-third. Objection was raised
to the populists' plan to pay one-third in
treasury notes. which would greatly in
cTesse the Price of products OF the country,
but il 10 claimed that this issuance of treas
ury notes will afford immediate financial
relief and inau0urate period Of prosperity
unparalleled in the history Of the world.
The populists dc not propose that the gov
ernmsnt buy all the railroads at onoe, but
50 adually that no shock will bs felt Ia
tho money market. The populists say that
suanoe of national bonds. no objection
could be offered 10 an even exchange Of
bonds which already exist. and the bonds
could be gradually paid and in q
few years the government would own the
railroads. 1t il claimed the plan would
not antagouize existing railroad interests,
and il the government owned all the rail-
roads west OF the Mississippi river. instead
Of being competitive TO eastern roads they
would be distributive. and could be used by
the government TO move crops to mar ket at
cost, and in this way develop the resource
of the great western country and thereby
could be colonized, thus relieving cities
from their present congestive state. Sew
eral additional arguments are addduced.
Washbuin will leave for Washington to-
morrow to have the matter presented to
congress.
