GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

In Japan the railroads belong to the
government, and the profits of their
operation pay a large part Of the ex.
penses of the empire.
The government owns the railroads
in Australia. There a person can ride
], 900 miles for 50 80. A workman can
ride to and from his work, a distance
of six miles, for two cents q trip; IL
miles for four cents; "a miles for 10
cents. Yearly tickets good for SO-mile
trips can be had for $17 40.
In Victoria, one Of the Australian
colonies, the government owns the rail
roads, the telegraph service, the irriga-
tion and water service and p~ostof1ce.
The city Of Melbourne owns the water
service for domestic uses, and so sue
cessful have these been the advisability
of purchasing the gas service, the train
service and other like public services,
have been mooted, as has also the idea
of the colony purchasing and owning
the local shipping.
In the United States the government
owns the posSofice system, and other
public departments. Why not also the
railways, express service, trains, water
and gas supplies, telegraph lines, and
in fact everything that may fairly be
placed under the head of public and
general usesf
Is there any reason why the govern
ment should not take charge of public
works that could not be urged against
its charge Of the national defenseG The
government has as much right to be
the public employer as the public
butcher and policeman.
1t might be urged against this that it
would not increase the public specula-
ton.
The reply is yes if the people continue
to be Indifferent and do not educate
themselves; but if they do it would not
be so.
Why is it that all billets in the pub
lie service are so eagerly sought atteri
Simply because employees feel surer of
their wages.
In any case is it not better that the
public ccffers should be enriched than
such individuals as Gould, Vanderbilt,
Sage, etc., should becUme so. These
men do not earn their own wealth
they scheme so that others shall do that
for them.-Exchange.

NATIONAL ALLIANCE DEMANDS.
Adopted at Washington, D. C., February

6, 1896.
WHEREAS, The Declaration of Indes
pendence, as a basis for a Republican
form of Government that might be
progressive and perpetual, states:
THAT all men r created equal;
that they r endowed with certain r.
alienable rights that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness; that to secure these rights, gov
ernments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
governed"
We hold, therefore, that to restore
and preserve these rights under a
Republican form of government, prl-
vate monopolies of public necessities
for speculative purposes, whether OF
the means of production, distribution
or exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any such public necessity Or
utility becomes a monopoly in private
hands, the people Of the municipality,
state or union, as the case may be,
shall appropriate the same by right OF
eminent domain, paying a just value
therefor, and operate them for, and in
the interest OF, the whole people.
FINANCE.
We demand a national currency,
safe, sound and flexible; issued by the
general government only; a full legal
tender for all debts and receivable for
all dues, and an equitable and efficient
means of distribution of this currency,
directly to the people, at the minimum
of expense and without the interview
ton of banking corporations and In
sufficient volume to transact the busi-
ness of the country on a cash basis.
(G) We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at the
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
(O We demand a graduated income
tax.
(G) The government shall purchase
or construct and operate a sufficient
mileage of railroads to efectually con
troll all rates of transportation on q
just and equitable basis.
6) The telegraph and telephone,
like the postof1ce system. being a ne
cessity for the transmission of inteli
gence, should be owned and operated
by the government in the interest of
the people.
We demand that no land shall be
held by corporations for speculative
purposes or by railroads in excess of
their needs as carriers, and all lands
claimed by the government and held
for actual settlers only.
ExECTIoN OF UNITED STATES SENATORS.
We demand the election of United
States Senators by a direct vote of the
people. That each State shall be di-
vided into two districts of nearly equal

The people have blindly followed

tions, leaders, bosses, wise men 60 and
other fools, until our country is almost
ruined and the people are brought uE-
der systems of Rbject servitude wherein
the rich are growing richer while pow

They want the right to vote on the
laws and adopt or reject them after
they are enacted by their servants.
This is the Referendum" principle.
IL we had the Initiative" the pee
pie would compel the present Congress
to pass an unlimited silver coinage law
before it adjourns, and if we had the
Referendum they would adopt the
law and thus in less than a year end
that little contention that is now
swelled up to enormous proportions by
bombastic politicians.
The people of North Carolina would
blot from their statute book that relic
of monarchy which makes it possible
to put poor people in Jail for not pay
ing their taxes. They would establish
graduated taxation and would forever
establish the issue of government in
terest bearing bonds. These and other
things the people have wanted to do
for years, but the parties and politi-
clans have prevented them.
The Initiative and Referendum will
remand legislation back into the hands
of the people and will be q progressive
step in our Republic, where, under a
purer democracy, our liberties shall be
enlarged and more secure than eve
before.
Let every man and woman plead
and vote for the Initiative and Refer

liberty made fast to the peoples fran
chise, the chief corner stone Of our
Republic.
The great problem before the people
