THE GREAT INCREASE IN CITY
POPULATION.

More than one third of the entire
population of these United States now
lives in cities. In some States it is
much CREATE: in Massachusetts,; 70
per cent. in New York, 60 per cent ;
III Connecticut, 81 per cent in New
Jersey, 50 per cent, In 1890 there
we're but six "~cities"-i e, having a
population Of more than 8,OOO-in
1890 there were 449 such cities. In
1910 there were but three cities with
more than 100 900 inhabitants; in 1890
there rel twenty eight such cities.
In 1870 there was no city having 1000,
600 inhabitants; in 1890 there we're
three such cities. In 1896 the new

WANTED "aoNRsT MONEY"

The loo+ing of the Union National
Bank, in New Ogleana, which brought
the financial panic that ragged there all
last week. presents one of the most re-
markeble cases of Systematic and elab

was drained of 1902 900 altogether and
the robbery was accomplished by a

two on the inside of the bank and five

FINANCE,

FINANCE.
We demand a national currency,
safe, sound and flexible; issued by the
general government only; a full legal
tender for ali debts and receivable for
all dues, and an equitable aud efficient
means Of distribution OF this currency,
directly to the people, at the minimum
Of expense and without the i~nterven-
ton of banking corporations and in
sufficient volume to transact the bust
ness of the country on a cash basis.
(G) We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage OF silver and gold at tie
legal ratio of Is to l.
(b) We demand a graduated income
tax.
(c) That our national legislation ehall
be so framed in the future as not to
build up a industry at the expense
of another.
(d) We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as
possible IN the hands of the people,
and hence we demand that all National
and State revenues shall be limited to
the necessary expenses Of the govern
ment economically and honestly ad-
m~inistered.
() We demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern
meDt for the safe deposit of savings
Of the people, and to facilitate ex-
change.
Of We are u~nelterably opposed to
the issue, by the United States, of in
terest bearing bonds. and demand the
payment of all coin obligations of the
United States. as provided by existing
laws, in either gold or silver coin, at
the option of the government and not
at the option of the creditor.
TRANSPORTATION.
(G) The government shall purchase
or construct and operate a sufficient
mileage of railroads to effoctuallY con-
troll ell rates Of transportation on 8
just and equitable basis.
(6) The Telegraph and telephone,
like the pOsTOf2e system, being a ne
cessity for the transmission of intelIi
gence, should be owned and operated
by the government in the interest of
the people.
We demand that no land shall DO
held by corporations for speculative
purposes or by railroads IN excess of
their needs as carriers, and all lands
now owned by alieus should be re-
claimed by the government and held
for actual settlers only.
EXECTICN OF UNITED STATES SENATORS.
We demand the election Of United
States Senators by a direct vote of the
people. That each State shall be di-
vided into two districts Of nearly equal
voting population, and that Senators
from each shall be elected by the
people of the district.
DISTRICT LEGISLATION.
Relying upon the good, common
sense of the American people, and be-
lieving that a majority of them. when
u~ninfuencad by party prejudice, will
vote right on all questions submitted to
them on their merit; and, further, to
effectually annihilate the pernicious
lobby in legislation, we demand direct
legislation by means of the initiative

ELECTORAL FUSION.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Cannot some plan be devised that
will give the Bryan and Watson men
an opportunity to cast their votes for
eleven electors. This fusion with the
Democrats will be just as certain to
give the State to Mckinley as if it was

that a straight Democratic ticket or a
straight Populist ticket either one
would receive more than the fusion
ticket. Not more than nalf the Demo
Gratis will support the ticket and not

silver they would be willing to accept

II the simply wish to kill the Populist
party certainly the Populists should

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
In the spring Of 1892, the Peoples

invited and persuaded to lin is vino

neither of the old parties would do
to trust for relief; they had proven 80
false and corrupt, the people should
wipe them out of existence. Now look
upon the scene and what a magnificent
prospect of reality presents itself! We
find that, nationally, the Peoples party
says: I'VE are going to trust the Dem
ocrats to give the relief we said could
only be got through Us, as they are a
surer and safer medium of relief in
national legislation than the Peoples
party can ever be-" (SelahD That in
State and county matters we yield to
the Republicans as being the surest
medium Of relief along the lines of
reform promulgated as Populi8t-Alli

We hold, therefore, that to restore
and preserve these rights under a
Republican form Of government, pri-
vate monopolies Of public necessities
for speculative pucp 3ses, whether OF
the moans Of production, distribution
or exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any such public necessity or
