GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

In proportion to the number travel
ing, there are thirteen times as many
accidents in the United States as in
Germany, where government owner
ship of railroads obtains, and six or
seven times as many accidents to en-
ployes in proportion to the total num-
Der. And no wonderl The first thing
which attracts attention in Germany is
the careful protection to life and limb.
Accidents of daily occurrence in Chi
cago are an impossibility in Berlin, a
city of equal size. Contrast the efforts
to save life as seen in our truly admir-
able life saving service on our coasts
with the conduct of those railroad presi.
dents who rush to Washington and to
our State capitOls to prevent the pas
sage of laws to compel the RAILWAYS to
use we'll known safety appliances, 1t
is claimed there Is greater freedom in
the service Of the government than in
the service Of the vast corporations
which manage natural mOnopolies.
| And the freedom of the EMPLOYEES NAV
be still further increased by better civil
service regulations. The nobility of
public service is of Importance to the
wage Garner of every grade. The uni
form of government is an honor. while
the livery of public servants is consid-
cred a badge of inferiorlty. 1t is the
puoIlc service that has developed the

THEY MUST HAVE MONEY.

Recently a bank at Danville, Va
discovered that the people in that
country arc using checks as a medium
of exchange until the checks are about
worn out. Some asked that checks be
made for small amounts. For instance
a check for ten dollars would be asked
for in two checks of S. each and then
they go on their way rejoicing. 1t
was found that one check for $50 had
been used thirty-eight times, having
been endorsed on the back with that
many names. It had. been out in
West Virginia.
Right on top of this report comes
news from the West that the people
are taking free coinage into their own
hands, tho government having gone
back on us all. 1t is a fact, SO govern
ment secret service lei report, that
about $500, 900 in silver dollars has
been put in circulation in Nebraska
and adjacent States. The dollars are
perfect limitations of Uncle Sans work
manship and r. said to contain 4121
grains of pure silver. Now the ques-
ton arises: Can the persons issuing
this coin be punished under the present
laws against counterfeiting3 Congress
has the matter in hand and will prob
ably pass a special act to stop it.
We are against counterfeiting and
all violations of the law, but since the
people have been so shamefully treated,
we cannot blame them much for max
ing their silver into money, SO long as
they make honest money at the legal
ratio. If a man can't sell his wheat,
he has right to make it into biscuits
and eat it. The government has stopped
the purchase and coinage of silver, and
the very life, peace and prosperity of
the nation is jeopardjzed. IT we were
on a jury and a man was on trial for
making silver into money, putting the
required amount IN each dollar, we
would hang that jury twenty years
before we would agree to say that he
was guilty of an offence.

THE ALLIANCE IS GROWING

The LenOir Topic refers to dis,
crepancies between statements made
by The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and the
ruins Of the former National Organ, of
the Alliance, sold by a traitor, to a
coterie of New Workers, and now
edited by them. The organising was
taken from that paper before it was
sold. for good reasons, and any state
ment it makes is unofficial and will
not be noticed by us.
The Alliance is growing. The paid
up, active membership in every State
is smaller than it once was, made SO
by temptations placed on the Demo
Republican pie counters to lure weak,
vascillating members and other reasons.
But there is a slow, steady improve
ment all along the line. In our own
State, especially, do we notice this.
Alliances are organizing, taking in
new and restoring old members, and we
predict that the organization will be-
come more powerful and useful than
ever before, in the near future.
