means of enjoying herself, has a much
better time than could possibly have
been enjoyed by her grandmother
There must have been just as many
bright spirited girls and active, ener-
getic women fifty years ago as there
are now, but their high spirits, or exub-
Grant vitality did not take the form OF
healthy out of door life. They did not
walk much. How could they walk
along country roads and muddy lanes
in sandaled shoes and thin stockings?
And the dress depicted in the fashion
plates published half a century ago
does not seem to our eyes to be very
we'll adapted for athletic sports. In
large towns it was thought very incor-
rect for girls to walk in the streets even
in pairs, and utterly impossible alone.
A maid or footman must be in attend
ance, if father Or brother was not
available, and even in their company
or guarded by a depressing attendant,
it was Just as well in some of the more
crowded streets that a girl should not
walk at all.
OF course, girls were allowed to ride
on horseback, but those who did so were
in the minority, and there was sort Of
urwritten law that matrimony put an
end to it entirely. 1t could not have
been so heartbreaking to have given it
I'D as it would be now. Riding for a
woman only meant tittuping in the
park when in town on two-pommeled
saddle. and wearing a full, bunchy habit
that in some instances swept the
ground, and that fluttered in the breeze
that also blew about the long gauze
veil that adorned a beaver hat and
feathers.
Country riding was equally tame.
Only the emancipated woman Of those
days hunted, and she did so in defiance
of public opinion.
The difficulty was to find any exhilar-
ating sport or game, or any health-giv-
ing pursuit in which women were al
lowed to take part, and exercise for the
sake of exercise, always dislateful to
men. did not commend itself to women
either. There was nothing for them to
do in the open air. No tennis, no golf.
not even croquet! A woman who could
sail a boat was unheard of; she never

HOW WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED.
The Peoples Own Fault-They Get What

The Peoples Own Fauit-They Get What
They Vote For.
Our government has granted to a
few favored citizens known as rail-
road incorporators, or, railroad corpo-
rations, within the last forty-five years
1911, 500 ,697 acres of the peoples lands.
AS much as is contained in the follow
ing eleven great states of this union:
West Virginia. Connecticut, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Kentucky. And to the
same favored class or corporations the
government has guaranteed over $780,
coo, 900 of interest bearing bonds. Now!
If they sold their lands at Sc per acre
(Which is a low estimate) it will reach
the enormous sum of $1,1S6, 1913, 1872, and
when we add the $10O,0O0,O00 of bonds,
it makes a grand total of 81. 2s6, 19S, 1S2.
Are you satisfied with this kind Of
legislation? If SO keep on voting the
old ticket
The interstate commerce commission
has estimated that the entire railroad
system of the United States can be
built for four billions of dollars. 1t
is a we'll established fact that not a
shovelful of dirt was thrown for the
construction of these roads until they
had pledged from the people enough
money to build them, and the land
grants were used for private plumber.
Then pledges were wrung from the
people through threats, that unless
there was a special tax levied they
would build the road on another sur
vey, and so it was, we built the ROADS
and gave them over one and quarter
billions of dollars worth of land and
bonds, and yet they were not satisfied.
They have been plundering the people
ever since, but the people seem to en-
Joy it. The greater the railroad mag
nate is who becomes candidate for
Office the greater is the majority for
| him.
The people continue to vote for these
results, and they get them. You get
what they vote for, so quit kicking and

FOOLED THEM AGAIN.
CLEVELAND AND CARLISLE'S
CONFIDENCE GAME.
The President and Secretary of the
Treasury Are Traitors to tho Best In
forests of the Country-Betraying Us
to Bondholders.

Just as all foresaw, Cleveland and
Carlisle are about to issue more bonds
and this time it is announced that they
do not propose to stop at less than $780,
100000.
For weeks they dickered with the
Morgan syndicate and allowed items
to escape to the papers in order to feel
the public pulse.
The wholesale steal Of $4,000, 900
on the issue last year was to be re-
peated.
But the people were beginning to see
that Cleveland and Carlisle's bond
schemes were barefaced steals.
The New York World denounced the
syndicate steal in unmeasured terms,
and offered to take one million OF
bonds, while 1t demanded that the
American people be given an opportun-
ity to take the bonds instead OF ped
ding them to foreign money sharks.
The row became so big that the pup
pets in the white house and the treas
ury department took water and carlisle
issued circular asking for popular
loan.
The people were to pay for the bonds
in gold. The only people in the country
who have gold are the big banks, and
they will get the bonds, but not the
people.
Why issue bonds at all?
We have about $500, 100000 in the
treasury of the United States.
During Cleveland's first term he
called attention in a message to the
large sums in the treasury and that this
vast amount was a constant menace.
Yet within the year the Cleveland
Carlisle confidence operators have
added nearly $1OO,OOO,OOO to the pile III
the treasury unnecessarily, have helped
a syndicate steal $12,OOO,OOO from the
people, and now propose to do IL
again.
Why borrow money at all?
In the first place the gold in the treas
ury need not be drawn out, as the law
does not require it.
Every bond and every government
obligation outstanding is payable not
in gold, but in coin. Silver is coin.
Why not give these money kings what
the law provides, silver coin? Load
them down with silver, and their rob-
Der raids on the treasury will soon
cease. But it will not cease as long
as they have their confederates IN
charge of the treasury.
In the next place there is no law
that requires retaining $1OO,OOO,Ooo IN
gold in the treasury.
The law simply provides that the sec
rotary of the treasury is authorized to
issue $1O0,O0O,000 in bonds for the pur-
chase of gold for resumption purposes.
: Does that require, as the gold thugs
agree, that all this should be kept IN
the treasury?
There are dark days before us when
our mortal enemies control our laws
and our executive. Eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty" and never have
our liberties been in greater danger

THE OLD CHESTNUT.
"Forty Acres and a Mule" Ripped Up
the Back.


the Back.
One of the taunts which the old party
papers take delight in throwing at the
Populists and all labor organizations
is that they favor a paternalistic gov
eminent. They are charged, to use
an old chestnut, with wanting to give
to every poor man who wants to farm
and who is not properly equipped
.forty acres of land and mule" They
profess to be shocked by any such
proposition, and If such a measure
would pass congress it would give them
a fit of Jim jams that would send most
of them to the saloon around the corner
to take something" to brace their
nerves. Now, while no labor organiza-
ton has ever made any such demand,
or anything similar to it, there is no
disputing the fact that the government
has done much more than that for
each and every man connected with
many corporations.
1t has given to the railroad corpora
lions alone 197,699,697 acres Of land.
ulNluCu up ihto ~ oSiO u dSeo
would make 4,942,492 farmers. Now,
no one pretends that there were that
many people interested as owners of
the railroads receiving these gifts,
hence each person got not only 40 acres
of land, but many times that much.
But how about the mule?
In addition to these lands the gov
eminent has practically given to the
Pacific roads alone. in interest and
principal, $135OOOOOO. Since the
adoption of our gold standard base,
mules are cheap; very good mules can
be bought for $50 each-good enough
to give away. At $50 each $4,000, 900
would buy 100000 mules. Not quite
enough to furnish the 4,942, 492 farms of
40 acres each, but fully enough to fur
nish as many men mules as would
avail themselves of the forty acres and
mule offer.
Here, then, the government stands
convicted by the official records Of CIV
ing to the railroad corporations alone
4.942, 1872 forty-acre tracts of land and
the equivalent in value Of 2,70O,O00
mules in money and bonds.
By the so-called Credit Strengthen
ing Act of 1869 it changed the terms of
payment of $1,000, 100000 of bonds, so
that 100000 in value were added
to them-practically making the bond
holders present of 6OO,OOO,OO0. Fig
uring the government land at the price
1t sold in the market at that time, $1.25
per acre, 40 acres would be worth $50.
Add to this, one mule worth $150--
mules were worth more then-and we
have 5000 as the value Of forty acres
and mule" Since the bondhoiders re-
