substitute for the Foraker Pooling bill,
a bill for "a National Commerce act,
guaranteeing at once a fair return on
railway investments, fair wages to rail-
way employees and low uniform, stable
transport tolls on the movements OF
persons and produce and of produce,
officials of a ntional railway system
managed by national railway and pos
tai department, and the work is done.
With such legislation even the most
unwise customs tariff acts could hardly
prevent the arrival of such an era of
prosperity in this country as this world
has never known
l have set forth the possibilities of
such a scheme in my little book, "A
General Freight and Passenger Post,
already in its second edition, and bill
embodying my thought is now in the
hands of Senator Marion Butler at
Washington.
The average charge per haul, per ton
of freight, on the railroads of this cOun-
try in 1895 was less than $1.O6. In other
words a uniform of $1.06 regardless both
of the length of the haul and of CLASH
fication, would have resulted in larger
freight revenue that the railroads re-
ceived that year under their private
Management. ------
l propose a uniform rate of 100 a ton
on box car freight, and fifty cents a ton
for open car freight, handled by gov
eminent employees, and hauled on Or
binary trains and double those rates en-
fast trains; on carload lots, box car
freight, $500 a car and open car freight,
$500 per car; these rates on fast trains.
trains, double these rates on fast trains.
l then propose five cent fares on local
traffic, ordinary cars, and twenty-cent
fares by first-class of Pullman cars; by
express trains double these fares. My
bill also provides for parcels. post, at one
cent pound up to one pound in weight,
five cents in parcels one pound to five
pounds, etc.; this with a letter post
of one cent. ..7,~
All these things are possible under my
scheme. And those fares will result in
ample revenues, probably too great rev.
enues. Can there be a shadow of doubt
that the adoption of such a scheme
would restore prosperity? ~--~.-

GRAIN MARKETS.

Wheat has been weaker during the
past week on liquidation of July stuff.
The much talked-of corner in July fail
ed to materialiZe, and as shorts covered
last week there was no support to the
market when longs began to realize
The markets are very dull, especially
at this time of the year, but we believe
that SEPTEMBER wheat purchased around
64c will do for cent or two scalp, the
time not having arrived for a strong ad-
vancing market, on account of the very
favorable crop reports from the North
west. Until something turns up to cause
damage to the Northwestern crop we be-
lieve in taking small profits.
Corn and oats have been dull, with
corn steady to strong and oats weak
The forcing weather during the past
few days has helped the corn outlook,
but we believe the crop has been dam
agd to such an extent that the weather
will have little effect on it, Buy Sep
TENDER corn around 251ac.
Pork has been a little more active
and with the July option out of the
road September pork should be bought
for a good rally. There is no doubt that
q large short interest exists in Septem-
Der, which will have to be covered be-
fore long, unless the bears want to pay
much higher prices.

In the state, would have to convert

With three tickets in the field next
summer the peoples party may not win,
but they would have every whit as good
a chance to win as any fusion ticket

this: Three campaigns and three cam

In politics as in war. Three generals

so constituted that one man must be

That Is the trouble with fusion.
We gave expression once to the hope
that the new Democracy under Bryan
might have the genius to unite all the
reform forces under it's banner and
consolidate them into one army. Had
the Democratic leaders proceeded in the
proper way last summer they could
probably have accomplished it, at least
locally. But instead of treating gener.
ously and manly with the peoples par.

few self constituted leaders of the party
to swing us into line by legerdemain
They knew no better than to apply old

worst thing they could have done. They

Mrs. Anna Diggs, of Kansas, is draw

fact that Mr.. Donnelly has given over
a good portion of his paper to the inter-

Great Prosperity In Kansas.

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal Of
Kansas may be trifle exuberant in
calling his state the most prosperous in
the Union, but he deals with facts with.
in his official purview when he declares
that the farmers will pay off $40, 0o0,-
900 in mortgages this year and that
money is now so plentiful that many of
the banks have refused to receive fur
Their deposits, so that the money is be-
ing shipped to banks in adjacent states.
Such facts knock the bottom Off the re-
cent campaign theories that the country
had not currency enough to go round !;
that the banks were boarding the cash
to which the people were entitled; that
the west was in hopeless bondage to the
east philadelphia Record

for these women is Electric Bitters.
Thousands of sufferers from Lame
Back and Weak Kidneys rise up and
call it blessed. 1t is the medicine for
women. Female complaints and
Nervous troubles of all kinds are
soon relieved by the use of Electric
