Recently the municipality Of Paris offer
ed loan of s4O,OOo,OOO and the total SUBJ
scriptions of the people amounted to 49,
92O,OOO000, or nearly 100 times more than
was desired. When the United States
wanted $4,000, 900 it had to cater to the
bankers. The rate of interest to be paid in
poth cases was about the same. Now why
should America be Inundated by the least
doubt about the bonds being taken prompt
ly when Paris was surfeited with offers of
money? The credit of America is certainly
as good as that of Paris. There is but
one answer to the question. France has a
per capita circulation of money much
greater than that of America The figures
given by accredited authorities are France
$lo, America $24 per capita, but on account
Of our peculiar national banking system,
the real per capita circulation is less than
S. In France the bonds are issued in
small denominations and as a result are
taken by the people, while in America the
bonds are in large denomina tons and can
only be subscribed for by bankers Is it
not time for the voters to wake up on this
important subject? We want congressman
and senator's who will repeal the present
unjust national banking system "a system
devised wholly in the interest of the money
poWers) and substitute in its place some
thing like the equitable banking system
outlined in the Representative of July H.
a system which Will give the common peo-
pie and those with limited means chance
TO get government bond bearing 3 per
cent interest. If those bonds are good for
the bankers and capitalists, / guess they
are not too good for the work woman, la
borer or farmer who happens to have 500
to invest. This country has been legislat-
ing long enough in the interest of privi-
leSed classes-corporat lions and bankers
and the tabooed classes-farmers and la
boring men-are getting tired of the thing
and are bound to kick themselves to the
top. With Hon. S. NJ. Owen in the COVER

To the Editor
1 desire to offer some resons why the
Peoples party should not allow national
politics to mix in municipal elections A
city is business institution nothing more
The officials have purely business du-
ties to perform. 1t is their duty to see
that the air is unpoklted, the water pure
and plentiful, that sewers do not poison
the dwellings, that the streets are kept in
order, that life and property are protected
by police and fire department. and the care
and management of parks, museums, hos
pitfalls, Libraries and schools, which are
prominent factors in city life"
well known writer says The Amer
lean city consists of tax payers and tax
eaters, and the municipal tax eater is al
ways hungry The taxes levied by mu-
nicipa (and county, authorities are op-
pressive and make life a burden to our
people. The federal and state taxes are
not at all oppressive Every intelligent
man knows that mixing of national poll
tics with city affairs is the real source of
the admitted misgovernment of American
cities.
In city election. city affairs should only
be considered (the county the same) 1t
has no more connection with politics than
a bank, insurance company or wholesale
grocery house. Less national and more
municipal politics is what we want. 1T
Is local affairs that is affected by city
elections, and in all reason local issues
ought to dominate in local elections" We
never shall have better man to manage
our municipal affairs until political par
ties as such shall keep out of the local
contests, and law-abiding, Industrious hon
est business and workingmen combine and
elect honest men to do their business The
Populists of this country, as common
sense, practical men, will join hands with
any body of citizens in an earnest en-
deavor to secure many needed reforms
now demanded by the great body of the
people.
A Peoples party conference lately planted
itself firmly on this question by resolving
that IT Is vital to the attainment of good
nuflclpal government that national poll
ties should be divorced from city cleo
tons"
Inc attempt of few curbstone statesmen
ana hedging lawyers to lead the Populists

And must raise the widows rent,
While his watered stock is selling
At premium of fifty per cent.
With pomp he floats to his isle,
HeedinS not the toilers lament
Gives his watered stock a shaking,
And rakes in his fifty per cent.
Like lion he goes to his lair,
Mid the bones he has tripped of content
The cries of the hungry lul him to sleep,
And he dreams of his fifty per cent.

Now come the Pillsburys and threaten
to stop the city from getting water out of

high roller will just rise up and shut off
our wind all can do will be to gasp and
die. Shall they do it? I say. Now,
comrades, l have got down off the fence,
where l have been for about six weeks
looking back at my dear old Republican
party, and thinking about our God-blessed
old eaders-Lincon, Trumbull, Thad
Stevens, o. P. Morton and others like
them. But, Lord, boys, they are not our
leaders now. Harrison and Blaine were
good fellows; but Blaine is dead, and Har-
rison is also, politically. Yes, l am down
off the fence on the Populist side, but with
my hand on the top rail, waiting to see if
it is fusion with the Democrats or not.
If it is fusion then back on top of the
fence l go, and there I'll sit and vote for
the best man, regardless Of party. Don't
be uneasy about your pensions, boys. Re-
member, they are vested rights now; be-
sides we have worlds of friends among
u the Peoples party. But keep your hands
on the fence in case of fusion AS for me-
/ will never vote for any man or set of
men that claims to have better right to
the waters that flow in the rivers of Min
nesota than l my children have. Just
as we'll say that it is by their grace that
we are allowed to breathe. No, give me
the liberty for which we fought and won,
or give me life in the spirit realm. Come
