Harry! You see Democrats are not as
near us now as they were in 1892. Then
they declared for greenbacks; now they
are for redemption money with both
gold and silver for redeemer, the sys-
tenn that we had in 1857, when we had
the great panic in which it was demon
strated that one dollar back of the coun-
ter can't redeem three or five other dol
lars at par on demand. This occurred
three years before Bryan was born, and
he has been so busy talking ever since
that he has never had time to study 1t.
But all old Greenbackers know what q
consummate fake, what three-card-
monte trick and panic-machine the re-
demption money scheme is. They know
that Bryan is being used merely as
decoy duck to draw off Populists from
their party that the plans of the money
power may not be thwarted; that Bryan
ism is merely repetition Of 1873.

WORSE AND WORSE.

We learn that DR.. Fay, at the very
time he omitted all reference to the
electoral ticket of Barker and Donnelly
on the official ballot, had $50 in his
pocket, which would have paid for filing
the name Of one elector, and have given
the Middle-of-the-Roade a chance to
vote for the same. Besides this, he was
told by Mr.. Day that he had $50 more to
pay for another. And an appeal a week
ahead, for half, would rave settled the
balance of the $3.50, and not have left
us in a disgraced attitude before the
whole country.
1t may be asked what was his motive
for turning down the party in this out
rageOus fashion. He wanted the vote of
the state to go to Debs. He worked for
this result in the Cincinnati convention.
He sought revenge upon Donnelly, so
that when fair vote is announced from
the Southern states there will be no re-
sponse from Minnesota. That is his
whole policy at present. Id.

SUGAR TRUST TAXES.

Since McKinleys Inauguration the Sugar
trust has raised the wholesale price of sugar
cents per pound and the retail price pro-
portionately.
The total sugar consumption of the United
States is 5,OO0,000,00 pounds year, or 66
pounds per capita.
An extra tax OF cents per pound on
5000, ,000, 900 pounds equals a total tax of
$100 600, 900. This is one-half the total an
nual cost of schools for the whole United
States. The people Of the United States
therefore are taxed one-half as much a
year to support the Sugar trust as to main
tain the public schools.
AS every person on an average uses 66
pounds of sugar year a raise of cents
per pound means $1.32 paid every year by
each person as tribute to the Sugar trust

CINCINNATI PLATFORM

The Peoples party of the United
States, assembled in national conven-
tion this 10th day OF May, 1900, af-
cardinal tenets of the Peoples
party, as set forth in the Omaha
platform, and pledging ourselves
anew to continued advocacy Of those
grand principles of human liberty
until right shall triumph over might
and love over greed, do adopt and
proclaim this declaration of faith:
l. We demand the initiative and
referendum and the imperative man
date, or such changes of existing
and fundamental and statute law as
will enable the people in their sover-
eign capacity to propose and compel
the enactment Of such laws as they
desire; to reject such as they deem
injurious to their interests, and to
recall unfaithful public servants.
2 We demand the public owner
ship and operation of those means of
communication, transportation and
production which the people may
elect, such as railroads, telegraph
an telephone lines. coal mines. etc.
8. The land. including all nat
ural sources OF wealth, is heritage
of the people, and should not be
monopolized for speculative purposes
and alien ownership Of land should
be prohibited. All land now held by
railroads and other corporations In
excess OF their actual needs, and all
lands now owned by aliens should be
reclaimed by the government and
Eeld for actual settlers only.

can be devised; but until such a

shall press for adoption, we will ia

Nearly Five Hundred New Concerns
Authorized to Start Business.
WASHINGTON. Oct. ia statement
prepared by the comptroller of the currency
shows that applications have been approved
under the act Of March IA, 1900, for the or
sanization Of the new national banks. with
total capitalization of $23, sos, 900. Of this
number 373 will have a capital of less than
s5O.000 each and 123 of $50, 900 or more. The
number already organized and started in
business Is 331, having made deposits of
bonds amounting to $5,128,45
The largest number of applications to
organize national banks came from Iowa,
As having been received. Texas comes next
with 36. Pennsylvania has 33, Illinois 81,
Minnesota %, Ohio %, Nebraska 10, New
York IA, Indiana 13, Kansas H. Indian ter
ritory IL and North Dakota II. The re-
naming states range down from seven to
one, Hawaii having one and Porto Rico
one. each with capital of $780, 900.
No applications have yet been received
from the following states and territories
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Nevada, Utah,
Arizona and Alaska.
This is where the increase in money
comes from.
There is, in almost every instance, a
transfer fund from an older and richer
community, or diversion of money from
simple usury to so-called banking.
Every bank so established becomes
the center of political influence in that
locality; and so this thing spreads and
grows, directed from Wall street or
Washington. The small politician who
invests $1,000 in the stock becomes an
advocate of the system and is ready 10
work for it secretly.
For time all goes well. If there is a
"cramping'' of the money market it is
easy to let out more money and so re-
Heve it.
1t is in the power of the combine to
contract the currency, which consists
mainly of bank paper, by sending a cir
cular letter from headquarters, advising
such course and giving reasons for it.
The whole currency is loaned on in
st-bearing securities, and a panic
can be created at any time which upsets
all values.
This will be done whenever any course

The wisepoor man who bought

the wise manufacturer who en-
.ected a factory in Northern Wis
.consin a few years ago, when
times were not as prosperous as
they are now, are reaping their
reward. Northern Wisconsin IS
feeling expansion in the truest

ties have not passed, BY any
means. There are still thousand
of acres Of rich hardwood timber
lands awaiting the settler as
well as the manufacturer which
can be obtained at low figures
and on easy terms. Good roads
fine school houses and other i'm
provements are increasing and
civilization is progressing. The
plentitude Of iron ore, clay, kao-
line, mari and timber lands sup
plies the wants Of everybody.
The transportation facilities
are unexcelled. The Wisconsin
Central R'y, a strictly Badger

get us to come out of our fortified
city with promises to escort us to
Yamen and be under their protection.
We did not listen to them.
