REFORMS, on account Of tho presence on
the new board of some of the old
Nom bers who are reputsd to bs op-
posed 70: the desired reforms, doubt
less on account of the course
pursued in recent years BY such mem
bers favorable to corporations reputed
to be shirkers Of tax-paying. Such are.
holdover mem bers and are not Gov.
ernor Lind's appointees. r Is not be-.
lieved that Governor Lind has appoint,
ed single member Of the present
board, but will be found equal to what
is expected Of the member, and Of Gov.
ernor Lind who placed In his hands the
important duty with which each mem
ber is charged under tho law. %: " ...51
y The weeks event, as to tho state in.
stitutions, has been the reformatory ex-
posure made by tho st. Paul Dispatch.
That such an irrepres6ble, unyielding.
uncompromisang, and most Of the time
uncomfortable Republican sheet,
should have found it impossible longer
to hold it's nose at the stencil Of the Re-
publican management Of that institu-
tion, speaks vo1nmss-no tubsfall for
the size Of the goppkte stencil. The ex-
posure was most complete, and will
doubtless stimulate the reformatory,
board to action. But nothing particu-
larly new was presented, more than was
laid before the board by Governor Lind
three months ago. Next. T. -. -
And just to emphasize Missouri's
''crop," Silver Dick Bland's old district
has elected Democrat as BANDS sue
cessor, by $500, over the Republican
candidate. The goppites were loud in
their assertion that they would ''ls-
deem" the district, now that Bland WIS,
gone.
The American Bankers Association,
which has just been ln annual seG6don,
and which was organized to assist In
bringing the country to specie pay
ments,' has membership Of 1000,
who have capital and surplus amount
ing to $1,000, ,000, 900. They together:
hold over - 500, 600, 600 Of the peoples
deposits, and this is an increase of over
$40, ,0o0, 900 in single year. OF course
this is not q power-a money power.
And this gigantic power has declared
for the gold standard, and pledges its
efforts next year to secure such politi-
cal action.
/. The banks want tho gold standard
fixed first, aad then the rechartermg Of
the banks provided for, then the money
power will be supreme.
Here's to Colonel Tom Shevlin's na-
tional park scheme. The Winpeba-
goshish- Leech Lake plan is all right,
and no one will oppose it. Uncle Sam
furnishes the land, timber, water and
wild Indians, and time will do tho rest.
How many people know that it is
literally true that in national banking, i
as proposed Republican legislation viii
leave the law, the government gives the ,
banker back every dollar that he puts
into the business and pays him interest
on It besides, 80 that after the banker
makes tho first investment he has not
one dollar risked, but; is paid by tho
government to lend it, money at his,
own rates2 SEQ if this is not 20.
You and associates get together $780,
900 to start q national bank. You buy
t100, 900 of government bonds and send
the bonds to Washington with your ap-
plication. You have now parted with
your money, but have it in government
bonds at 3 or 4 per cent. The govern
ment keeps the bonds, but sends
you back 100000 in national
bank notes of your own issue. This is
tho money you use in banking How
much money have you now2 800, ,00oe
No, $2O0, 900, one half Of it in govern
ment bonds, on which you draw your
interest with olockwork regularity, Cess
the small per cent of tax for ''circula-
tony, and the other half in notes that
you loan out at from 8 to 10 per cent,
according to the stretch Of your con-
science. Is this true, OF not2 It. 10
true, and who pays for it ALP Why the
people. They pay the interest and prin-
cipal of the bonds, in taxes and tariffs,
and the discounts and bonuses on the
loans. ,i%:a e. + + .....:z:.Ss @,:-:s:. =
It is such q monstrous system q this
that the people must rise in their might
and put down, which they can only do
by the overwhelming defeat Of the
money power that sustains the Repub-
lican party. -. Isl =tJ f.. :. =. 5.% .#:
McKinley's policy Of subjugation for
the Nlipinos, ID! even better than the
sultanship which he has recognized FOR
the Sulus. The latter has the institu-
tion Of slavery, the Same as cost Us the
horrors Of the Civil War to exterminsts,
and yet IN extending our American
.'sovereignty' over that part Of the
Philippines, the Mckinley administers
tion has expressly stipulated with ths
sultan that slavery shall not be inter
fered with, and neither the institution
!of polygamy. Slavery and polJgamy
Eunder tho American dag, under the Nc
Kinley administration. Slavery, polyg.
amy aud imperialism are very propsl

AT last we know why McKinley's ct
torney general, one Griggs of New Jer'
