POP ULISTS As KICK ERS,
They DO Not Regard the Dinoley BSlt as
Revenue Measure.

a Repcnue Measure.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 29-The
Populists of the House and Senate held a
joint caucus this evening at which joint
address was issued defining the position
of the Peoples party on the tariff bill.
Their address declares that the pending
tariff measure in the House is for the pur-
pose of side-tracking real and vital Issues.
The address further declares that "lack
of revenue is not the re suit of defects in
the bill (the Wilson billy as it was passed
by Congress, but resulted from decision
of the Supreme Court which declared the
income tax unconstitutional. The most
direct and effective method would be to
restore silver and increase the circulatio n
of the mediums SO as to restore the level
OF prices which existed prior to the de-
monetization of that metal"
They also assert in their address, I'VE
do not regard the Dingley bill as revenue
measure. 1t seems TO us designed by the
Republican party TO create such tariff
agitation as will divert the attention of
the people from misery they suffer from
the contraction OF money and the rule of
mOnopoiies

BANHs CHECKS.

In the last lesson we spoke about the
usual form of n blank bank cneck and
brought To the stud snt S notice that useful
business agency.
Checks are much more commonly used
nowadays than formerly.
Improved and increasing banking facili-
ties, and the gradual building up OF a
system of practical safeguards around
the check has led TO its general use.
AS previously stated many large busi-
ness concerns make all payments 10y check
whether the item 20 be paid amounts to
one or many thousands.
Having opened bank account. accord
ing TO the process previously outlined. we
shall now show the student how to
properly draw check.
A check should be made ont very care
fully so as TO take advantage of every
safeguard against fraud.
The two specimen checks published i'm
this lesson show two different methods of
filling out a check.
In the first example il will be seen that
the maker has been careless.
He has drawn the check In such man
ner that very ordinary manipulation
could raise the amount of its face. ..

ga BOX OF Shouts"
