POINTS FOR THE PEOPLE

for the purpose of reform. Its path to
glory lies right in the middle of the
road-this year just the same as ever
Mr.. Carlisle is of the opinion that
all of the free coinage democrats will
be crowded out of the party. Deprived
OF that element the party would be in
the fix of a bobtailed bull in fly time
Atlanta Constitution.
Glasgow, Scotland, is said to have
the finest, cheapest and most satisfac-
tory municipal government of any city
in the world. The city owns street
cars, electric plant, water works and
everything of the kind.
Once more the old party leaders
are attempting to revive the tariff as a
presidential issue for next year. The
money question will not be side
tracked and it is a waste of time to at
tempt it.-Washington Republic.
The bankers now threaten to bring
on another panic unless the spread of
populism can be stopped. Precisely.
And thy will continue this game as
long as such power is lodged in their
hands. Down with the whole banking
system.-Maine Populist.
will not succeed in making much prog
ress with his boycott against bank
notes. The moment an employee re-
fuses to take a bank note, that instant
will his employer discharge him. Plenty
of ignorant union men stand ready to
take the places vacated by X. of L.
men.-Road.
One of the favorite expressions of
the plutes is that the free coinage of
silver would cause gold to disappear
from circulation, which leads us to
wonder where it is just now. 1t is
fact that there is no gold circulating
and it may be well for the gold-bugs
to explain why this is SO. We know
why but we want their opinion.-Non-
confornlist.
THY say that it would be uncon-
stitutional for the government to own
the railroads. The men who framed
the constitution never saw a railroad,
nor dreamed that the future had sucn
a thing in store. They never held their
ear to a telephone or sent a message
over a wire Isn't it about time to have
a constitution q little more up to date?

Monroe streets was rented by Marshall
Field to the w. c. Il. q. for ninety-nine
years at $4,000 a year. This will
amount to $500, 600 for the term of
the lease, but if Field loans it as re-
ceired at six per cent and compounds
the interest, it will be 500, 300, >37 at
the end of the ninety-nine years
National Advance.
Edward Edwards. former en-
ploye of the Union Pacific railroad, lost
his job during the Pullman strike and
returned to England He writes that
when he applied for a position there
he was informed that he could not get
work on railroads in England because
he had been placed on the blacklist in
America Is plutocracy international?

When you deposit money in q
bank, the bank loans it. and you help
pay interest on it. Every business
man who borrows money has to charge
his customers more on account of the
interest he is paying; and you can't
get out of helping pay interest on the
money you put in the bank, for the
bank to lend. unless you quit buying
things.-Coning Nation
Congress shall have the power to
coin money and regulate the value
thereof" What does the word regu-
late mean? Manifestly that the peo-
pie, acting through their agents in
congress, shall have the absolute con-
troll over the money of the nation both
as to its volume and material upon
which the government fiat or stamp is
Observation-Disclosures (Tex) Leader
Speaker Crisp managed to dodge
the Georgia free silver convention. He
was forced to take roundabout trip
to do it, but he got away all right. He
reported that he was going to Europe,
but really turned up on convention
day at Savannah. or in that locality.
The Georgia free silver people should
place no confidence in Crisp. He is a
free silver man by way of Wall street
Southern Mercury
The republican and democratic par
ties are both opposed to government
ownership of the means of transporta-
ton and transmission of intelligence
Their chief argument is that it would
increase the already large army of
officeholders. Such an objection from
such a source is too funny to contem-
plate in a dignified way In fact, it is
a joke at least four miles in eireum-

Il. is amazing how good the hind
sight of the Rold-bugs is All Wall
street united in sending Horr to adj
minister the last sad rites over the
remains of Harvey, and when Harvey
had lodged the stone from his little
sling in the center of the forehead of
this windy Goliath of plutocracy. at
once went up a cry from this same
Wall street that "Horr was never any
thing but a bombastic ass anyhow
Nonconformist.
If old Rothschild should have one
of his New York subsidized papers de-
clare that it is unconstitutional for
American hens to lay eggs with the
usual amount of white in them the
cuckoo papers and partisan blind
toadies of the west would be earnestly
trying to prove it a fact and would de-
nounce everybody who denied it as
cranks and idiots. And they would
have just as logical q case as their po-
litical stand presents at present-Iowa
Farmers Tribune.
So some of the Alabama populists
are considering the desirability of
fusion with the republicans in the
forthcoming campaign! What benefit
