Is This SOs

The reason old party newspapers are
favoring postal savings banks is be-
cause the bankers of the country have
concluded it's the only chance to get
people to deposit their money. The
unsafe system and thieving methods
now in vogue have made the people
afraid to trust the banks, but while
the government is completely in con-
troll of plutocracy it is intended to
adopt plan which will secure the de-
posits and then arrange for Uncle
Sam to let the bankers use the money.
The national banking system is an
outrage and this will merely be con-
tinuing business in the same line

Convert the World.

Robert Schilling, that staucn old
populist, in his Milwaukee Advance,
tells the tale as follows: "When all
the democratic papers (gilt-edged
barred, of course) and many republican
papers are advocating populistic
principles, it looks as though the peo-
pies party has accomplished some
thing. They have stolen our thunder
but we're not mad. We are not fight
ing for self but for the public good,
and if we can educate all the people to
correct and common sense views, we
believe we speak the sentiments of all
intelligent and sensible populists when
we assert that all parties are welcome
to do right as far as populists are con-
cerned, and that we ask nothing for
ourselves but the satisfaction of hav-
ing done our share to make the world
better while we are in it"

plutocratic papers commended the
shooting and praised the governor, his
aids, and the heartless wretch that
gave the command to fire. On Septem-
Der 10. 1897, lot of Poles in Pennsyl-
