A Fair Exchange.

Every citizen of every city depends
on the farmer for the means of life
could not live a week without the re-
suits of his labor, says the Appeal to
Reason. The farmer Is not dependent
on the cities--he lived before they
were, but none existed before the farm
er, in this or any other land. A farm
er is therefore the most essential mem
Der of society, deserving the greatest
reward for his labor, and would get
1t II he were not such dupe and
fool. A farmer will work late and
early in sun and rain to produce a
crop. Then putting twenty bushels
of corn in his wagon he will drive ten
miles to market and get SIS for his
load. This load represents several
days labor, the capital on his farm and
tools and his experience of years.
When farmer goes to the city and
wants a hack from the depot, an hours
ride will cost him SIS. In other words,
he exchanges several days labor for
one hours labor. 1t is not the hack
driver who gets it. He is very pau
per. 1t goes into rent, taxes, insur-
ance, licenses, transportation and a
thousand other robbery channels. All
this can be remedied by social sys-
tenn that exchanges days labor for
days labor. In other words, it is a
political question, and the farmers and
laborers will be skinned until they
learn If

The time is coming in this country
when every public necessity will be
owned by the public, including water
works, street railroads, telephones,
electric lights, gas, etc.. but 1t cannot
all come at once, says the Farmers
Tribune. In this radical change we
should go slowly and become accus-
toned to the responsibilities one at a

Of these important functions, it would
seem to us that system of direct
legislation should be inaugurated and
through that system make the officials
amenable to the people, and give the
people a chance to accept or reflect on
any action that the officials may take.
This will do much to protect the pub
lie from the acts Of a corrupt council
and will act as restraint upon those
who otherwise might favor some COR
rupting measures for personal gain.

Democracy Against Plntocranv.

We call attention to the fact that
the Republican party has failed to en-
force the antitrust laws. The 1000
men said by statisticians to control over
half the wealth of the country have
taken complete control of the Repub-
lican organization and are using it as
political machine, regardless of the
welfare or the rights of the people
Regarding trusts and combinations in
restraint Of trade as evils of the great
est magnitude, and as organizations Of
this nature not only continue to exist,
but multiply in numbers in defiance of
law and public sentiment, we demand
that such laws, both state and nation
al, be enacted as will certainly result
in suppressing them.-From the Mis-
souri, Democratic Platform.

Where the Wealth Goes.

The average consumption of sugar
per person in the United States last
year was 641. pounds, or total for
the nation Of 4,S36,OOO,OOO pounds.
This is controlled by two firms. If
they make but one cent per pound
profit, 1t means that these two COM
panies amassed $4S,000,000 out of the
people--a sum- greater than the assess
ed valuation Of some of the states!

The Democrats of Missouri, in state

at Chicago in 1896, and especially do
we renew our demand for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold
at the present legal ratio of 16 to /,
without waiting for the consent of any
other nation, and this demand we es-
pecially emphasize at this time by
reasserting our belief that the money
question is and will remain the most
important Of all political questions af-
fecting the prosperity and happiness of
our people until it is finally settled by
the restoration Of bimetallic coinage in
accordance with our demand. And we
hereby declare our confidence in the

Thlererr Among the Causes.

From the New York Times: Ship
captains and transportation agents are
not fools. the sons of somebodies are
of average intelligence as rule, and
the national guard officer Is usually
successful In business. 1t is absurd to
think that what these men do not
know they could learn in time, and in
a short time, at that. Amy thoughtful
observer of current events is bound to
conclude that plain, ordinary theft is
playing no small part in the daily rec
ord Of army horrors.

NOTES.

The 5000, 100000 in gold held corner
ed in the treasury would have paid all
the expenses of the war without bonds
or war taxes. But we have both bonds
and war taxes to prevent this boarded
gold from circulating.
Hon. Champ Clark is talking as if
he meant something. Let him keep
that up and he will be great. The
country is suffering for men who mean
something and are not too cowardly TO
say what they mean.
The war is over but President Nc
Kinley is still holding 00,O0O,O0O in
gold in the treasury and the distribu-
ton of bonds goes on. Whatever puts
up the price Of gold puts down the
price of wheat.
The Spanish war being over, the
country will proceed to declare war on
the Hanna aign-distributing
thieves who did our army more dam
age in the rear than the Spaniards did
In the front.
The army contractors rob the treas
ury in scandalous way, but the rob-
berry of locking millions OF gold in the
treasury while selling bonds to get
more gold is still more seandalous.

lest pair OF sixteen to one cewhide

Were it not for two or three trif1ing

might live for ages under perfect
equality. In the settlement of new

At first all are poor, busy and con-
tented. The whole life of society pro-
ceeds under four heads. First, maxi
ing; second, carrying or distributing;
third, consuming; fourth, redistribut-
ing. In the new society all the net
profits are redistributed as rapidly as
possible and therefore all are EN-

CURRENT CONF ENT.


In every state now controlled by the
Populists state issues alone should be
sufficient to give us large majorities;
in states controlled by corporation
owned Republican politicians, state is
sues present still stronger Populistic
argument; and in the country gener-
ally national issues should induce the
people to support their own ticket
the Peoples Party ticket.
In every one of the Western states
served by Populist, Silver Democratic
and Silver Republican officials, some
good has been gained by the change.
Taxes are less, the public service is
better, beginning has been made in
curbing the power Of monopolistic cor
porations, and Republican robberies Of
the public treasures exposed and the
thieves Jailed.

the Northwest to return to the old

The states further east that are still
governed by railroad and trust lawyers
and other hired men of corporate
monopolies are not to be pitied. They
frequently have the chance to vote for
different men and different conditions,
and they will soon grasp their oppor-
tunities.
Natchitoches populist., 1898-11-04

OF national issues the money ques-
ton is Of the most actual importance,
followed by direct legislation, the
transportation and land question; but
there is a disposition to make lead
ing issue of "Algerism" long enough
to punish the corrupt and criminally
careless officials who have done to
death our volunteer soldiers In pest
camps. This is an issue that will not
down, and unless the great and small
Algers are driven from public place
the general wrath will center against

Natchitoches populist., 1898-11-04

The voters Of the Northwestern
states have had large experience with

Natchitoches populist., 1898-11-04

Ere long few families have no need
to spend all their surplus on improve
ments and begin to hoard it up. Were
they to lend it out, a competition in
this business would put interest down
to merely nominal. In time bank
is started and they all hoard in banks 4
by depositing. This enables the bank
to lend out portion of the net profits
and exact large income by usury.
There is no longer any redistribution
of the net profits Of labor Money, one
of the great factors Of distribution, is
monopolized. Interest begets interest
and redistribution is throttled. 1t is
on redistribution the first assault is
made. Presently several families be-
come poorer, are distressed and part
with their land. Then landlordism
begins and rent aids usury to still
farther depress redistribution. The
idleness and poverty among many be-
gets crime and the community is put
to great cost.
Now to prove my theory, just glance
at these few states where this first at
tack upon redistribution has never
been permitted, but has been avoided.
Take Appengall, Switzerland, where
there is not one poor person, where
the people are more crowded than
elsewhere, some 500 per square mile.
and where every family occupies what
we would call a palace.
Again, just suppose case. Imagine
a perfectly equal, prosperous, busy
state. all the profits of labor are rap
idly distributed, nothing carried out
never to return in any shape. Now,
suppose that the government takes all
the net profits in taxes and spends
every dollar abroad. In two years that
state must be plunged into distress.
The whole society would become pau
perized in time without a single eX-
ception. Suppose the government
spent the revenue on its officials and
parasites at home. Then all would be
| impoverished save those so favored
and their servants and on hangers.
Now what is the difference whether
this absorption Of all the net profits
is done directly by the government or
indirectly by custom of the people
themselves, such as boarding it in
bank so as to enable a portion of it
to be used to rake more off from
| labor? Only in this latter case 1t all
goes to a few among themselves.
The point | make is that this whole
disease, called poverty in modern So
ciety, is due entirely to the assault
made in the fourth process of the So
cial Standardization, and it grows
from small beginnings like the cancer
or the avalanche All other evils
grow out Of the inequality it causes
Can we think OF one but has come
from the overgrown power or greed OF
crime. ETC., that are the offsprings Of
this?

he Newman Hotel

If you lven't been down to the
Newman Ii tel recently, 90 there
and take look and be most
agreeably SURPRISED at what you
Will see. Col. Newman, the en-
terprising prop" otor, and one of
the best hotel men in the South,
has almost comp 'eted the entire
oyerhauling Of his spacious house,
papering and repai ing it through
out, new carpets O. every floor
and new furniture wherever re-
quired, One feature, and a most
desirable one, has been the intro
duction Of electricity in every room
connecting with electric Ians, so
that when Il guest retires the pOr-
ter takes up a fan and bitches it on
and cool breeze runs through the
room as long as the guest wishes
it, With every convenience nee
cessary, large, welI-lighted, Gle
giant rooms, the best Of beds, free
dom from mosquitoes and an cleo
trio fan to keep him cool and pc
lite attendant to answer his every
wish, the visitor will find this hotel
one of the pleasantest in the whole
country. Commercial men will
find the largest and best-lighted
sample room IN the State, and there
are spacious and elegantly furnish
ed parlors where guests may receive
their visitors. The office will soon
be fixed up in fine style, and the
popular clerk, VIII Newman, will
always be on hand to look after the
wants of guests. It's the intention
Of Col. Newman to have the most
complete and best furnished hotel
in the State, as it is nowrone of the
most popular. The livery service
under the charge OF Joe Newman is
most complete and satisfactory,
hacks to meet every train and
boat. An elegant four-in-hand
has Just been added, and it is the
pride of Col. Newman's heart.
The travelling public will make no
in continuing their patron
age with the Newman, whose
genial proprietor has been here for
thirty years and is deServedly popu-
ar with all who have the pleasure
If his acquaintance.
