THAT was his report, and without say~

boards and a few other pieces of necessary
furniture were taken down, and on Sat-

This tells the whole story. A city
foolishly grants an important public
franchise that concerns every citizen
to a private corporation. The fran
chise is a monopoly, the then corpora
ton becomes monopoly and use the
franchise not for the public interest
except as the public interest can be
served to put money into the pockets
OF the private corporations. Ofcourse
the private corporation uses its mo-
nopoly 10 make immense profits and
then uses these profits to control the
city elections and city government;
and thus we have the spectacle of
street railroads, gas and electric
plants, and water works running the
city in the interest of the private
owners of these public franchises in
stead of tie city running these import
ant functions in the interest of the
city and its citizens. There is but one
remedy to give the people justice and
to purify politics; and that is for the
city to own and operate these public
franchises. Surely if reason, common
sense and common business principles
are to be observed, soon these reforms
must come in every city. Thus it will
be seen that the principles of the Peo-
Piles Party apply to the welfare and
interests not only of the farmers and
country population but applies also
equally strong to the welfsre and in
terest of the residents of our towns
and great cities. In short, the princi-

port of Senator Buffers recent
speech in that city. Commenting
editorially on the spec Oh, the TRAY
eler says:
"Ssnator Butler, of North Caro-
lima, told some very plain truths last
night. People even in this vicinity
are beginning to believe that the
prosperity of eastern manufacturing
interests must be co-lncident with
the prosperity Of the producers. It
is true, Senator Butler says, that in
the past politicians have made it ap-
pear that there was dividing line
between the interests of the farmers
and the manufacturers, but this.
happily, has gone by.
For many years the prices of all
staple products have fallen steadily.
but the debts are the same TODAY as
they were yesterday. No less this
:rSSS- sAs~AA sAOy VOAO GCu yo6IS ago.
The result is that after paving the
interest on his debt the farmer has
nothing left with which to buv pro-
ducts of our Eastern factories, and
he never will have until the volume
OF the currency is so increased that
the prices of all staple products are
raised. 1t is idle to believe that a
protective tariff will be q panacea
for all these flaws in the machinery
of distribution.
Senator Butler truly says that the
people are not buying imported
goods. 1t is true, however, that the
money and products squeezed out Of
the producer are exchanged abroad
IN foreign luxuries by the rich. All
manufacturers will tell Won that
their Southern and Western trade
has largely fallen off. It is q fallacv
that low prices bring about prosper

CITY OWNERSHIP AND CONTkOL OF
MONOPOLIEs

The question whether such public
services as lighting by gas or electric
lty, and street car transportation and
the furnishing of water to every house.
hold should be intrusted to private
corporations or controlled directly by
the municipalities, is one that is at
tracing a great deal of attention. The
principle of municipal ownership of
these natural mOnOpolies is one that
is steadily growing in favor in every
quarter of the Union. 10 have pure
water furnished at low cost; to have
good gas or electric lighting facilities
furnished at reasonable rates and ex-
tended to every quarter of the city; to
have prompt and efficient street car
service at a cost not greater than it
costs to furnish the service, are three
questions that concern every resident
OF town or city as vitality. if not
more so than any other three questions
pertaining to city government. To
have these important services cheap
and efficient is not only of vital con-
Germs to those who live in city, but
is the best possible advertisement and
inducement to bring desirable addi-
lions to city's population and bust
ness enterprises. That these important
functions, supplying vital necessities
to city's welfare should be put in the
hands of two or three private monop-
olies, often foreign capitalists who
will use these mOnopolies with a view
solely to their own profit, is unbusi-
nesslike, to say the least-it is worse
than that, it is folly, it is suicidal. As a
rule the cost of these necessities can
be reduced upon an average more
than one-half over the entire country.
and each city furnish the people a
better and more reliable service.
Nearly every city to-day where pri-
vate monopolies hold these important
functions and franchises would change
at once to municipal ownership if A
majority of the citizens could express
their will and have it enforced. The
fatal mistake is made when a citv
grants these franchises to a private
monopOls. At once the monopoly
wrings from the public enormous
profits to control the city elections
and city government. Soon the peo.
pie find that they cannot elect any
man for mayor, councilman, or alder
man unless he is man too friendly to
the interests Of these private monop-
olies. Thus money and monopoly will
proceed to rule the cities-the voice
Of the people will be defeated, il NOT
