on the Baltimore and Ohio road a
few miles out of town had the mis-
fortune to lose a valuable colt the
other day. The animal jumped out
of pasture, ran down upon the
railway and was caught i'm a cut by
an express train. The claim agent
OF the road went out to effect an
amiCable settlement, il possible,
with the old man.
I'VE are very sorry, Of course.
that this affair happened" said the
railway man, "and hope IL will not
be necessary for US to so into
court"
The old farmer looked at him sus-
piciously and shifted about uneas-
ily but said nothing.
You must remember" continued
the claim agent, that your colt
was a trespasser on our property
when the accident occurred. We
don't want any litigation, however.
N we can help IL, and we'd like to
arrange n settlement with you on a
friendly basis"
Well" slowly said the Swede.

SILVER
For the Bank of England's Reserve.

LONDON, Sept I6.-At meeting of the d.
rectors of the Bank of ENGLAND held to-day,
Hugh Smith, governor of that institution, said
that among the proposals by which England
might increase the use of silver and without
interfering with the gold standard enable France
and the United States to resume the free mint
age of silver, was asking the bank to hold
in reserve the amount of silver permissible un-
der the act of 1874 as against notes.
The government, he said, had consulted him
in the matter, aud he had written to Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, on the subject. Referring tothe mat
ter in conversations Mr.. Smith said:
81 beg to say that the Bank of England is
prepared to carry out what is laid down as per-
missable in the banks charter, viz: To hold
one-ffth of the bullion held against the notes
issued, in silver, provided always that the
French mint is again open to the free coinage
CT silver and that the prices at which silver is
procurale and salable are satisfactory"
The governor in reply to a question whether
there would be any depreciation or any change
in the quality of the banks reserves, said:
"We have had negotiations with the none
tary commissioners from America and they are
negotiating with this government. All that
We have done was stated in my letter, namely:
Under the circumstances the bank is not un-
willing to carry out what is permissible under
the act of 1874"

Something queer about this tariff isn't there
Those dead men in the public road, shot
down by the hirelings of the privileged classes,
are memorial to all ages that more da:nna-
BILE falsehood was never told to people than
that tariffs "protect' American labor
Tariffs shut out the competition of foreign
CAPITAL, thus enriching the Carnegie crowd
Free immigration laws bring in foreign labor
to compete with home labor, thus impoverish-
ing both.
Every one of these poor wretches murdered
last week were reigners-Hungarians They
had been brought here to beat down the price
of home labor. They had beat it down; and
when they had beat wages down to where no
human being could decently live on them, they
struck for better pay. Even Hungarians are
human, you see, and reach the point where
flesh and blood cannot endure corporation greed.
And then the federal judges-creature of
the corporations-got hold of them, and en-
joined them off the face of the earth
And when the Hungarians didn't vanish into
thin space, but continued to walk down the
public highway, unarmed, but hungry and un-
happy, 100 deputies "op.ned upon them with
Winchesters, and shot them down like dogs"

Who Owns the Railroads?

Nobody owns any land or anything, absolute
ly: his deeds are i'll effect leases from the gov
eminent, under which he lives: and under some
circumstances, they can be revoked, and the
property confscated. If the situation were an
ayzed, it would be found that government is
really the owner of everything, and that taxes
are the rent which it charges the holder and
enjoyer of it's effects. Surely, no other conclu-
sion can be reached; for if property belonged
absolutely to the individual, he could control it
without reference to government. And it is no
more than fair that such should not be the case;
for without the protection of government, prop
erty ceases to be such, and becomes m .rely the
prey of thieves and robbers.
Railroads are iron highways that really be-
long to The People, which means, or should
mean, The Government. They all subject
to the laws of the states through which they
pass, and to those of the United States. The
fact that foreigners Gown" part or all the
stock of railroad does not make it any less
the property of the United States.
The time is not far distant when, without
reference to present lines of party, the question
will be agitated whether the government should
not take possession of its railroad property, re-
imburse fairly those who have stock in the
same, and conduct it as it now does certain
other enterprises. Many voters will hold that
the profits of such concerns should go to The
People who own and patronize them, and that
the losses, when they occur, should fall upon
the country at large, rather than upon certain
number of stockholders outside the "ring."
We are not discussing this question: we are
only prophesying that it will arise, be seriously
considered, and voted upon; and we advise our
readers TO be thinking the matter over.-Will

SAVINGS BANKS.

England has postal savings banks. The peo-
pie have 500, 900 900 on deposit with the gov
ernment. Deposits run from one penny up to
$500. Interest is paid at the rate of az per
cent. per annum. Children and poor people
are encouraged to save, and, as result, pauper-
ism has greatly decreased.
Senator Butler, Populst in the last session
of congress, introduced bill providing for
United States postal savings banks. The senate
did nothing, and never will till the old crowd

the sugar trust to look after poor peoples inter

Private savings banks can do the business
the business of fleeing. Wool for the shearers
always comes off the backs of the lambs.

JUDGE FOSTERS DECISION.

The Kansas City Livestock Exchange has
received jolt under the short ribs which will
knock the life out of that thieving outfit unless
higher court should reverse Judge Fosters de-
cision. He says the exchange carries on its
business in direct violation of the Sherman
antitrust law Judge Foster speaks in plain
terms--'cals spade spade". He also has
a word to say in regard to the gamblers who
are now making fortunes by specializing in
wheat-men who "sell'' wheat but never had
a bushel, and men who "buy" wheat but do
not expect to own a bushel.
This decision, lit is thought, will have ben
e6cial effect in the pending stock-yards case.
