No Interest on Money.
Alden. Mimi. Aug. 10. 1!

Alden, Mimi, Aug. 49, 1900.
H. B. Fay, Esq, Minneapolis, MINI.
In your letter of Aug. II in the Rep
resentative you ask, What shall Pop
ulists say of your censure of Mr.. F. M.
Dodge, because he thinks interest justi-
f1able?"
What write against interest l wish
it to be understood, interest for the use
of money among citizens Man cannot
be censured for principal that he has
never had questioned in the period Of
his bringing up. I was so years of age
before it occurred to me that interest
for the use of money between citizens
was question to consider. Now I ask
that this question may be considered by
common equity; by the teachings and
writings of Moses, the law giver; Eek
iel, the prophet; Nehemiah, a king;
Jesus Christ, the divine teacher, Martin
Luther, Cicero, Cato and a host Of
others. Also the declaration Of Ameri-
con independence in connection of
what you know of law-the conclusion
will be no interest for the use of money.
The Populist platform demands that
the government issue the money, not
the banks, which practically would be
in time the destruction Of interest, and
this Is why every citizen should vote
for Barker and Donnelly. Destroy in
terest and save liberty.
Respectfully,
A. T. D. AUSTIN.

Poor Campaign Articles.


TOPEKA, Kan, Aug 23.-Merchants
throughout Kansas have been enjoying
unparalleled prosperity, and, presuming
that Bryan campaign hats, caps, buttons
and badges would be staple articles, as
they were in 1896, loaded up heavily
with this class of goods Dealers have
discovered that the people do not want
these wares. Bryan and Stevenson
in the show windows. Populist farm
ers who served on the union side in the
war of the rebellion have as little use
for this kind of headgear as they have
for the campaign button bearing the
pictures of the Democratic candidates.
The presidential candidates rec
ord is not inspiring to the ex-union
soldier of Kansas. and to. meet this con-
dition the fusion forces have gotten out
a Bryan and Breidenthal button, but it
is also drug on the market. Mer-
chants complain OF this condition all
over Kansas, and many of the dealers
will carry over these articles as dead
stock. Even the takers who sell but
tons and badges at fusion rallies confess
that they are not making living wages.
Four years ago the farmers, their
wives, sons and daughters, and in many
families, the little children wore Bryan
badges, but this year change has come
over the people. They are prosperous,
they say, and are willing to continue the
present conditions.-Times-H Herald.

the ringleader in the scheme to give the
Populist vote to the Democratic party.
We believe his was the master mind
that began the work as early as the
winter of '94-5 to bring the scared Dem

by aid of Democrats, into a deal to
nominate Bryan. In all this we believe

The demand for the three-piece skirt
seems never to abate. The smart mode
illustrated is suited to both wool stuffs
and such heavy washable materials as
duck, pique and suiting linen. The cir
cular portions require to be pieced in
the latter, but are so arranged that the
seams are concealed by the folds. It
can be made with or without the cir
cular hounce, as prefrred, but is some
what more graceful when it is included.
The finish can be the severe one of ma
chine stitched lines or of bands, as in
the illustration. The skirt fits smooth
ly and snugly over the hips, the fullness
in the back can be arranged in an in
verted plait or gathers as preferred.
The pattern includes directions for
both. To make the skirt in the medium
size four and five-eighths yards of ma
terial SO inches wide. or eight yards 80
inches wide will be required.
The pattern, No. 1856, is cut in sizes

All indications point to continued and
increased favor for the comfortable
Elton jacket The smart model shown
includes all the latest features, and is
suited alike to the general all-round
wrap and the jacket that makes part of
costume. In the latter instance all
suiting cloths and cheviots are suitable,
for general wear black cheviots and
broadcloth are preferred, but as illus
trated it matches the skirt and is of
fawn colored cloth, the revers faced
with satin and showing a heavy ap-
plique of silk about the edge of the col
lar. With it is worn waist of cream
white mousseline and lace, and hat Of
Tuscan straw with bow of wired black
velvet ribbon.
The jacket is of simple construction
and can easily be made. The fronts in
clude single darts; there are back and
side backs, but no underarm cores. The
collar rolls over to meet the revers,
which can be buttoned over, as shown
in the sketch, when preferred. The
sleeves are two-seamed and fit snugly
without being over tight. They fare
slightly at the wrists, where they fall
becomingly over the hands.

dunn size two yards Of material A in
ches wide, or one and one-haf yards so

CINCINNATI platform

The Peoples party Of the United
States, assembled in national conyen-
tion this 10th day of May, 1900, af-
firming our unshaken belief in the
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.
3. 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
held for actual settlers only.
4. A scientific and absolute paper
money, based upon the entire wealth
and population Of the nation, not re-
deemable in any specific commodity.
but made a full legal tender for all
debts. and receivable for all taxes
and public dues, and issued by the
government only, without the inter-
vention Of banks, and in sufficient
quantity to meet the demands of
commerce, is the best currency that
can be devised; but until such a
financial system is secured, which we
shall press for adoption, we will ia
vor the free and unlimited coinage Of
both silver and gold at the legal ra-
ito of Is to I.
5. We demand the levy and COL
lection of graduated tax on in
comes and inheritances, and con-
stitutional amendment to secure the
same, II necessary.
6. We demand the election Of pres
ident, vice president, federal judges
and United States senators by direct
vote of the people.
Z. We are opposed to trusts, and
declare the contention between the
old parties on the trust and monop-
oily question is a sham battle, and
that no solution of this mighty prob
lem is possible without the adoption
of the principles of public ownership
of public utilities.

the boxers confirms me in this opinion"
They will also be surprised to learn
that the admiral received Tuan on

Some of the Absurdities Of the Eng
fish Language.
We begin with box and the plural is
boxes,
But the plural of OK should be oxen, not
Oxes;
Then one fowl is goose, but two are
called geese;
Yet the plural of mouse should never be
meese;
You may find lone mouse, or a whole
nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses, not
If the plural of man is always called
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
called pen?
The plural of COW may be called cows
or kline,
But if cow is repeated it is never called
kline;
And the plural of VOW is vows, not vine.
And if you speak Of foot and you show
me your feet,
And l give you a boot would pair be
called beet?
If one is a tooth and whole set are
teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be
called beeth?
If the singular's this, and the plural
these
Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed
keese?
Then one may be that and three would
be those,
Yet has in the plural would never be
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also OF
brethren,
But though we say mother, we never
say methren;
Then masculine pronouns are he and
him,
But imagine the feminine she, shis and
SHIN.
So the English. 1 think, you all will
agree,
Is the most wonderful language you
ever did see.

oets sing of phantasy,


Of the great and rolling river;
From the fountain in the head,
Well of dreams that faileth never.
Phantasy my soul NOW craveth;
am sick of all the real;
OF the drunken mob that raveth
For blood only of the leal.
Is mankind then growing better?
Do the millennium now draw near?
See the workshops forge a fetter
And my heart is filled with fear.

Armies marching, women weeping;
Gods fair earth deluged with blood;
Schrapnel raining; cannon sweeping;
Can all this then be for good?

Nay. OF power dreams the despot,
He'll alone is in his plan,
For that cheapest of all products
OF the eartn, yeclept the man.
What the dafk-skinned Filipinos,
Though he loves his wife and child,
Naught is he as you and l know,
Though with grief his brain be wild.
Bite the dust, you damned heather"
It's fine sport to see you die.
With the rag around your middle" ,"
Heaped in piles, SO let them die.
All, your little bows and arrows,
Can't withstand our FURNISHED arms,
You were born the men of sorrows,
For your land for us hath charms.
You will make fine compose heaps,
And your gold our vaults shall glut;
The Anglo-Saxon scOurge now reaps
Harvest of death to gorge his gut.
Dance and sing and hold your revels,
Blood and flames not us annoy;
Screams of pain from heather devils"
Add a zest unto our joy.
But l see one far off weeping,
Son of God, all bathed in tears;
That the flower left in our keeping,
Peace on earth, is choked with tares
Lo, a frown is on the Father,
vengeance is Nine" saith the Lord.
Lo, His sword prepareth to gather
Food for flames. We trust His word.
Smite, O God of Battles, smite them.
Oh, see the harvest home.
Rome and Spain; in shame we write
them.
In the day that dawneth far of.
England totters on the throne.
Lo, I see our sons in chains.
Kicks and cuffs from savage masters
They shall reap for these our pains.
For the mills of God grind slowly.
But they grind exceeding fine.

And the long result of time"
