In Switzerland.

Some people fear to copy the referen-
dunn because it is Swiss. Such should
not forget that it ia of New England as
well. But don't think that Switzerland
though a small republic, is to be
scorned by those who are working for
better conditions. Let such make a
note of these facts:
Switzerland has penny postage.
Free delivery in rural districts.
kilograms for IL cents.
Telephones at SIC per year
The best highways in the world.
The cheapest railway fares in Eu-
rope, though on the costliest roadbeds.
More cooperative work than any
where else on earth.
The best chances to educate sons and
daughters in the world.
The Swiss consume five times as
much luxuries and comforts as do the
Italians.
While we vote for parties and get
principles all jumbled together, the
Swiss voter gets at one thing at time,

a Promise, A Deduction and a Question

Promise, A Deduction and a Question.
For thirty-six years republicans ard
democrats jointly and severally have
ruled this country.
To-day they are as invincible, if they
should desire to accomplish any piece
of legislation, as the Car of Russia is
in his dominions.
No class of politicians in the world
ever made more explicit and emphatic
promises of legislation in the interests
of the people than democratic and re-
publican leaders have.
The logical deduction is that
O Democrats and republicans are
Jointly satisfied with things as they
are, and honestly believe that all is
lovely with the people; or,
(2) They lack the ability to change
the prevailing condition, in which case
they are fools; or.
(3) Their promises were simply empty
wind emitted for tlS purpose of deceiv-
ing the people into giving them posi-
ton and power, in which event they are
liars and hypocrites.
Take either horn of the dilemma,
dear reader, and how will you class
the voters who continue to support
democrats and republicans?

Inferentially the democracy of Mis-
souri,, in their recent state convention.
expressed their opposition to national
banking when they stated in their pre-
amble to their resolutions, that the
party was opposed to farming out to
banking corporations of the govern
ment's sc-ereign power of issuing and
controlling the money of the people"
The second resolution of the platform
sets forth the same idea, in the follow
ing language: Resolved, That we are
irrevocably opposed to the substitution
for metallic money of a panic-breeding
corporation, credit currency based on a
single metal, the supply of which is so
limited that it can be cornered at any
time by few banking institutions in
Europe and America"
The foregoing is really better and
stronger resolution than that demand
goes nearer to the bottom of all our
financial troubles. Just so long as we
have the national banking system in
existence in this country there will be
trouble all along the line on the money
question.
We want to say this: 1t will be a
cold day for the goldbugs when such a
resolution as the one we have quoted,
is adopted by the democratic national
convention at Chicago.
We predict, however, that 20 resolu-
ton against the national banking sys-
tenn will be adopted at Chicago.
Let US watch and see.

We have time and again warned the
American people that Great Britain is
rapidly becoming master of this coun-
try through loans and purchases, but
the people seem to ignore the fact be-
cause the old political parties that hold
them in thrall ignore it. But it is a
serieus question for Americans never
theless, and we scoff and deride the
boasted patriotism that can look upon
1t with Indifference.
A few weeks ago We published list

waken even dying patriotism. We

Tho Interstate Commerce Law

The best that could ever be said
about the interstate commerce law was
that it was step in the right direction.
AS complete remedy for railroad evils
it has been a failure. 1t failed of it's
most important purpose at the very
start, in that it was intended to prevent
the wrong done to short-haul shippers
by preventing greater rates for short
hauls than for long ones. 1t was sup
posed by our innocent statesmen that
the roads would lower the rates for
shorter distances. But the railroad
knew a game worth two of that one.
1t left the short haul rates where they
were and raised the rates for longer
distances. The law was of no direct
benefit to the farmer who was near the
market and made matters worse for
the farmer who was at a greater dis
tance. Then the law has been loose
and ineffective in some of it's most i'm
portant features and the courts have
seemed inclined to protect the violators
of the law even in what seemed to be it's
plainest provisions. And lastly the
roads have not cared a continental for
the law anyhow. i has been a huge
joke to them, and when they wanted to
ride over it's provisions they have done
it. OF these things congress has been
perfectly cognizant all the time, but
has done scarcely anything to improve
the law. Congress has it within its
power to protect the people from the
cupidity of the railroad monopoly. II
knows just wherein the law is weak, i.
! familiar with the law-defying propensi-
ties of the roads. and comprehends the
extent to which the people suffer from
this corporate greed. In not doing Its
duty in the premises it is 4 participant
| in the robbery Of the people, and the
| farmer who casts his vote for a mar
who will thus neglect the congress
mans plain duty to the people, does mo-
| deserve much sympathy.-Farmer'I

Manhood.

The true type of ideal manhood is
not the ascetic man with his starved
and weakened physical development.
but the athletic man in whom all facul-
ties are keenly alive, but held in equi-
pose by the predominance of the moral
law in every part of his being. Not
outward weakness, but inward
strength, must be the sest of morality
in life.-RsS1 a. L. Hudson.

The World declares. and truly, that
figures of such an amount can scarcely
be appreciated. 1t is thirty Zines

Tour times as large as the sum total of
the nations immediate resources as
shown by the official report of the sec
retary of the treasury at the end of
the last fiscal year At the end OF the
civil war the nations debt was 81, ,773,-

the British now own in the United

To whom do we belong anyway (?
Is the republic ours, or does it belong

There are not billion of seconds in
thirty years. AS many dollars as there
are seconds in ninety years! Every
one of these dollars is an investment
for profit, and American labor must
pay these profits. Can it do it? Will
1T ever do it?
How can we get free from the bur-

ourselves by purchase and payment, or
