IOWA DESCRIBED.
The People Of Iowa. Worse Than
the Inhabitants of Minnesota.

Speaking of Iowa, the Denver Road
says:
1--WE have Travelled and lived among
those people and know them. They are
dull, bigoted and as ignorant as they are
selfish. Their newspaper writer's are the
silliest lot of liars that ever took money
from corporation to betray the people,
Gold brick swindlers smile when they
learn their victim is from Iowa. Green
goods men scan the hotel registers in
New York and never miss it when they
strike man from Iowa. The A. P. A.
had it's start in that state, and Iowa is
the home of the finest lot of Prohibition
cranks that ever got drunk on hard cider
or stole drink of gin from a crossroads
tavern. 1t is inhabited by a class of
chuckleheaded G. A. R. fanatics who
would rather draw six dollars a month
from the government than be given a
chance to earn sixty dollars honestly and
legitimately.
There was a time when great people
inhabited that state, but they can now be
found comfortably settled in the Rocky
mountain states, having emigrated about
the time the dough heads and Clarksons
began to come in. The state is hopeless
from a political standpoint and nothing
but a new generation can redeem it.
Count it for the Republican party as
long as party of DepewC Carnegie-Clev
tl-Sherman-and-M Most exists. Vale

tardly outrages of the Spaniards, in
Cuba. The betrayal Of. Maceo has 30
crystallized public sentiment that
companies Of volunteers are organiz-
ing at many points to 60 to the aid OF
Cuba. Senor Quesada, Cuban Minis
ter at Washington, D. c., is flooded
with letters from men Offering their
services. At Denver, John Mean
drews, candidate for Attorney Gener-
al on "Middle-of-the.Road" ticket, has
organized a company of 1000 and
started overland for Cuba, via Florida.
1t is the intention to gather recruits

organizations into one great Union as

The Republicans are Offering to put
prohibitive tax on silver and lead
ores and wool, on condition that the
bolters come into party caucus. An
agreement to unite, on the part Of
Democrats, Populists and silver Re-
Dublicans will prevent, by seven votes,
the Republicans from carrying any
measure. A. r.

PRACTICAL SOCIALISM.

The Wisdom of the City of Glasgow.
In 1894 the City of Glasgow, Scotland,
became the owner and manager of it's
street car lines. Fares were reduced
about 33 per cent, the rate being fixed
at 1 cent, 2, or cents, according to
distances. During the first eleven months
(July 1, 1894, to June 1, 1885, 57,O46, ,647
passengers were carried, at an average
fare of less than cents-39 per cent of
the fares were only / cent each-and still
the roads made profit of Sill 900.
In their first report the tramway COM
mittee said:
1--WE are pleased to state that the finan-
cial success attending the first eleven
months is beyond our most sanguine an
ticipations, and we do not know that any
other tramway undertaking has hitherto
been in the position to pay all interest,
working and general expenses and MAIN
tenance, and begin writing off their cap
ital account within year from starting
operations"
This success was achieved under consid
erable difficulties. The old private COM
panies ran a line of busses in fierce COM
petition with the city cars. Influenza
among the horses also caused good deal
of trouble and expense, half of the city's
5000 car horses being sick at one time
Even at it's best the moving of cars by
horsepower is more expensive than cleo
tric or cable traction, so that the sue
cess of Glasgow's public roads under the
circumstances described is a matter of
striking interest to the citizens of Amer
ican cities.
The report for the second year, ending
June /, 1896, shows profit of $403,0
above working expenses, and $213, 900 net
profit after allowing for interest, taxes
and depreciation. The number of pas
sengers carried was S6,462, ,594. The aver
age fare was one and seven-eighths cents
and the average cost of operation per
passenger was l A cents.
Glasgow is city of about 600, 900 peo-
pie, or 100000 including the adjoining
towns. The city owns its docks, its gas
and waterwOrks, its blocks of model
dwellings for the poor, and other free
properties besides it's tramways The
citizens enjoy all public services at very
low rates, and yet the profits are SO con-
siderable and are increasing so rapidly
as to justify the announcement that after
January l, 1897, Glasgow will not need
to levy any taxes upon it's people, the
revenue from public enterprises being
sufficient to cover the whole cost of the
city government and administration.
Would it not be well for us if New
York and Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston,
San Francisco and other great cities of
our country had little of the wisdom of
Glasgow Frank Parsons, in
American Fabian.

THE MISSION OF POPULISM.

It's glory has been that it made its
appeal directly to the people, sought to
educate them and tried to organize them
in the behalf of better government
AS a school teacher, no political party
ever made swifter headway than ours.
We have educated the masses as fast as
we could reach them, wherever people
listen, converts were made. And no man
ever returned to either of the old parties
after having become Populist in prin-
ciple.
1t is true that our cause has suffered
much damage at the hands of extremists.
Radical ranters who burlesqued Popu-
lism rather than illustrated it have pref
udiced thousands against us. The fire
eaters who made war upon private own
ership of property and who seem pos
sessed by an insane desire to level every
thing in sight alarm and disgust many a
citizen whose heart and whose vote
would be with us if he understood us
just as we are.
During the recent campaign Populist
doctrines stood better chance to get a
fair hearing than ever before When the
Democratic party adopted our platform
at Chicago, we at once gained the ear
of an immense audience which, up to
that hour, had been hopelessly hostile to
us. And now that the campaign is over,
the moral victory which Populism won
at Chicago is still ours. No Democrat
can ever hereafter be heard to abuse or
ridicule creed which his party formally
embraced.
Not only has Populism done magnifi-
cent works as an educator, but it has
achieved yet more signal triumph as
liberator of the human mind from the
slavery of party domination.
Look in the campaign books of the
two old parties, few years back, and
see how much space is given to mere
scandals, and how little to economic
principle.
In this campaign all was changed
and Populism has done 1t.
Everybody sought information. The
voter wanted light He demanded to
know the facts. The printing presses
groaned night and day to supply the de-
mand.
The impression prevails that Mark
Hannas money bought McKinley's cleo
tiOn. We do not share that opinion. 1t
is practically impossible to bribe people
by the million.
Mckinley was elected because the Re-
publican writer's and speakers were able
to hold their men together, while Bry-
ans forces were scattered by bad man
agement.
The Populist theory of money is the
only one which can successfully meet
the Sound Money" argument, and Bryan
lost votes because our Democratic allies
were not willing to adopt our line of
reasoning.
But although the campaign is over,
the discussion of the money question
goes right on.
1nus has Populism been doing Its
work. 1t has put down party despotism.
It has erased the lines of sectionalism.
It has brought politics to a battle of
economic doctrines. 1t has forced the
money question to the front 1t has
called the masses into such life and

LIE! LIE! LIE!

Lie before election and keep bn lying
after election.
The New York World publishes long
list Of mills and factories that have
opened since election.
Among them are the following in Chilli
cothe, Ohio: Marian wagon works, 200
men; National Tin Plate Company, 100
men; American Wire Mai! Company, 400
men; Columbian Encaustic Tile Com
pany, SO men.
All these except the Marian wagon
works, which employs 40 men, exist only
in the vivid imagination Of the World
liar. No new mills and factories were
opened since election, and none had been
closed before election.
The same article tells about the little
village Of Anderson, Ross county, Ohio,
in which the only Industrial enterprises
are grain elevator and blacksmith
shop. But the World turns the black
smith shop into the American Iron and
Bolt Company" and increases IS the black
smith and his son to $50 workmen, and
the elevator is turned into the Arcade
Tile Company"
