tie people" The universal violation,
Of this principle is playing havoc with
the whole world to-day. Most Of the
peoples money is held by individuals
under lock and key, and the people
are compelled to 60 and pay them for
the use Of their own money.
The true policy would be for the
government or people to establish in
every county in the United States
places OF deposit where the citizens,
any one of them, could 60 and draw
out all he needed to do business with,
giving security for its return when not
needing it The only cost 10 the one
who borrowed it should be the cost Of
issuing and handling it This would
put astopa lat once and forever OF paying
interest to individuals. The curse of
interest is damning the world. The
debts on our country now amount TO
over thirty thousand millions OF dol
lars The interest exceeds all the
money in the United States. OF course
the interest is not paid in money; it
can't be. But it is paid all the same
BY swallowing up the property. 1t is
the great maelstrom, the bottomless
pit into which the wealth OF the world
is being su:ked in, II the interest
can't be paid in money, OF course the,
principal can not. Indeed, the money
mongers don't want the debts paid:
they don't intend they shall ever
be paid; because that would
stop the interest The money sharks
control every civil government on
earth, and their business is 20 make
debts and to make the volume Of
money small so that the debts can not
be paid. All the financial legislation
in our country for thirty years has
been in that direction. Debt is slavery.
The citizens Of our country are slaves
The money power intend to hold them
there. Coin money, or metal money,
is the instrument used to enslave the
word.
There are about 3, 500 national banks
in the United States. About one for
each county perhaps. Suppose these
were government repositories where
money could be borrowed for l or .
per cent on twenty years time? How
long would it take to wipe out every
mortgage, think We? How the money
mongers would scream Imitation"
imitation" No danger of an infa-
ton Of debts and interest Oh, no.
But horrible to think OF money being
plentiful enough to pay the debts.

THE P0PULISTS AND THE TARIFF.

The Boston Herald hears with dis.
tress the news that the populist sena-.
tors are talking Of voting against the
Wilson tariff bill, on the ground that,
it discriminates, as it does, for that
matter, against farm produces The
Herald thinko the news cannot be
true, because it says, THE populist
party is nothing II not an anti-tariff
party" 1t would be interesting TO
know where our esteemed contem-
porary picked up that notion. The
populist party is no more an anti
tariff party than it is tariff party.
There are as many protectionists as
free traders in the party, while the
mass Of it pooh-poohs the entire tariff
issue as mere fight between two
classes of CAPITALISTS, the nSanufactur.
ing and the mercantile, as TO which
shall fleece tho people, as the New
Nation puts it. The peoples party is .
after bigger game than the tariff and
regards that issue as a mere attempt
to divert it by dragging a msckerel
across the trail.
The time doubtless was when the
western and southern farmer could be
stirred up by the cry Of tariff reform,
but that time is no more. The west
ern and southern farmer has noticed
that Grover Cleveland, the Wall street
influence and the British and Roths-
child party, namely the same ele-
ments which forced the gold standard
on the country, are for free trade, and
somehow he takes less interest in the
canse than he did before he observed
this coincidence. II is not so much
that the unfortunate association of
ideas causes him TO love protection
more but free trade and the Wilson
bill less
As to the artisan element which
makes SO large an element OF the peo-
pies party and promises to 90 over TO
1t in body, probably it is largely pro-
tectionist in conviction.
Certainly the paey as a whole is BY
no means committed to either side of.
the tariff question, and we venture TO
say will not commit itself
What the peoples party is driving at
is just and equal distribution Of the
product Of the nation among its own
members and within it. own borders.
Questions Of our relations with for
eign nations may well wait till that is
secured

The News" Not for Sale.

The owner and editor Of the Miami,
Missouri, News requests the publics-
ton of quite a different statement
than appeared in these columns a few
weeks ago, and we willingly give
space to the following editorial from
that paper: Some time ago, owing
to continued i'll health and the encour-
aging information from our physician
that we must either go to warmer
climate on this mundane sphere or be
fastened to one in which DELINQUENT
subscribers abound, we offered The
News for sale. and would then have
sold it at sacrifice. January 1st we
began using DR.. Amick's treatment for
Bronchitis, prepared by the Amick
Chemical Co., of Cincinnati, and we
are today. so far as we can observe,
entirely free from any bronchial trou-
ble-in fact we have had but little
trouble since the first week. Our
many newspaper friends who have so
kindly advertised our business for sale
will oblige us by saying The News is
not now on the market. as its owner,
thanks to DR.. Amick's treatment. will
be able to remain in Gods country a
while longer. For the benefit of those
who are suffering from Asthma, Bron-
chitiS or Consumption, we will say we
thoroughly believe they can be cured.
The treatment is not a patent medi-
cine put up to sell to Tom, Dick or
Harry, but it is scientific treatment
discovered after years of study by Drs.
w. r. and NJ. L. Amick, two of Gin
cinnati's leading physicians, and both
for many years professors in the Gin
cinnati College of Medicine and Sur
gerry. Anybody can obtain sufficient
of the medicines to show they can be
cured, through their family doctor free
of charge, but the free medicines are
sent only through physicians.

The other was taller by a half head,

healthy brown and lit by two clear, con-
vincing gray eyes. Every line, every mo-

that he tried vainly to smother in suav-
