If you are populist you needn't read
the short extract that follows. But il
you are a democrat or republican ii
may pay you to study 1t a little. 1t is
from the New Charter, of San Jose,
California:
For eight years we voted the repub-
lican ticket. When we became voter
all the chief legislative deviltry Of the
republican party had been committed.
Men older and wiser than ourselves did
all in their power to enlighten us.
They gave us books and we would not
read them. They gave us papers and
we tore them up. They argued with
US and we got mad, shrugged our
shoulders, sneered, cussed the men who
argued with US, and told them if they
didn't like the country they had better
get out Of 1t, What was the matter
with US? We were party slave, with
a party ring in our nose, the party
collar on our neck, the party goggles
before our eyes. We had eyes to see
with, ears to hear with, brains to think
with, yet we let the party bosses do
our seeing, hearing and thinking on all
things political. What we did, seven
out Of eight men in this country are
still doing, in spite of the thousands
who are holding the truth up before
them. Were we blameless? Are they
blameless?

While such ruinous losses from fall
ing prices have banllrupted agriculture
and beggared labor, the value of bank
stocks has increased beyond the fondest
dreams of avarice. Chemical Bank
stock rising from 800 per share to over
$4,000 per share. First National John
Shermans bank) from 500 to $4,000
per share, and numerous others rising
from five to eight hundred per cent in
value.
Again, we see that usury rolls wealth
so rapidly into the hands Of the few
that they cannot find investment for it
all in loans. 1t has absorbed all rail-
roads, telegraphs, coal mines, oil fields,
lumber forests, and similar Industries,
and by the enormous advantage Of i'm
mense combined capital has consoll-
dated the manufacturing and similar
branches Of business into three hun
bred gigantic trusts all controlled by
the few. 1t has thus swept the smaller
operators out Of business and turned
profit from such business to the usur-
ers. This oligarchy, with control Of
banking, transportation and the trusts,

Avoid NaGClng.

]. R. Miller, speaking of this COM
mon fault, says:
"Nagging is not a means of grace.
There is a more excellent way-the way
of love. 1t is better, when we wish to
correct faults in others, to be careful
to let them see in us in strong relief,
the virtue, the excellence, opposite to
the defect we see in them. 1t is the
habit of a certain good man, If one
of his family or friends mispronounces
a word in his hearing, never pedanti-
cally to correct the error, but at some
early opportunity to find occasion to use
the same word, giving 1t the correct
pronunciation. Something like this is
wise in helping others out of their
faults of character or conduct. An ex-
ample is better than a criticism"

JeRersonlan Democracy.

II it were given the dead to feel and
hear, the utterances and professions OF
the average democrat of today would
cause the bones Of Thomas Jefferson to
turn over in his coffin and his ghost to
haunt the glimpses of the moon.
The teachings Of the democratic lead
ers, today, are as different from the
teachings of Jefferson as night is from
day. Jefferson was opposed to monop-
oily and special privilege, and his ideas
and doctrines are the underlying prin-
ciples of the great movement now 60
ng on for the betterment of existing
social and Industrial conditions.
Were Jefferson's teachings on the
land question made a part of the laws
and constitution Of the United States.
there would be no land monopoly. Up
on this subject, he said:
1.-THE earth belongs In usufruct to the
living.
Wherever there are in any country I'M
cultivated lands and unemployed poor
it is clear that the laws Of property
have been so far extended as to violate
a natural right. The earth is given as
a common stock for man to labor on.
II for the encouragement Of industry we
allow 1t to be appropriated we must
Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1896-05-14

take care that other employment be
furnished to those excluded from the
appropriation. If We do not the funda-
mental right to labor on the earth re-
turns to the unemployed"
Upon the money question he was
equally emphatic. In letter written
to Mr.. John W. Eppes in 1914 he said:
"The question will be asked and
ought to be looked at, what is to be the
course If loans cannot be obtained?
There Is but 'Cathargo delenda
est Blank paper must be suppressed
and the circulating medium must be
restored to the nation, to whom 1t be-
longs. 1t is the only fund on which
they can rely for loans; it is the only re-
course which can never fail them, and
it is an abundant one for every neces-
sary purpose. Treasury bills bottomed
on taxes, bearing or not bearing inter-
est, as may be found necessary, thrown
jTto circulation will take the place Of so
much gold and silver, which last, when
crowded, will find an influx to other
countries and thus keep up the guam
tam of medium to its salutary level.
Let the banks continue to discount il
they please, but let them discount for
cash alone or for treasury notes"
These views of the land and money
questions so felicitously expressed by
Mr.. Jefferson enter largely into the
political faith Of all true reformers to-
day, and cannot be too frequently pre-
sented to those of our misguided fellow
citizens who think they are JefPersonian
democrats.

The fullness over the hips allows for the
hustle, which we are expected to wear
this winter. Some few persons wear
them now, very modest and small ones,
bat the small things always precede the
large ones. If bustles are worn in rea-
son, they give hang to a skirt and a
stylish look that nothing else can give,
but women are so prone to exaggerate
everything that we shall soon see the
bustles as hideously ugly as they were

flap turned upward and fastened with a
frosted gold button about six inches be-

back, and there were Garibaldi straps on
the shoulders. The collar was made in
the form of a shell by means of stiffened
straps bent over and fastened down in q

looking garment, but withal one very

pointed yoke. The lower portion was
cut with one organ pipe flare in the CEN
ter OF the back. There were sprung caps

pulling of pale blue crepe de chine. The
whole jacket and the shoulder caps were
bound with this same quilting, which
