free coinage of silver did not. The
free coinage of silver was policy" :"
and involved no fundamental "prln-
cipIe" of government. The sovereign
power to coin money and regulate its
value. which can only be done by reg
ulating it's quantity, resides IN the
government and can reside nowhere
else. Shall the government delegate
this power to private corporations or
ganized for gain? That involves a
principle, the affirmation of the gov
ernment's right and duty can never be
abandoned. There is where the fight
should be centered.
To this, Bryan and his followers
should devote their energies, and let
the republicans take care Of the sill
v-r question, which everything indi-
Gates that they intend to do. The
moment the democracy begins to de-
vote it's attention to this question,
there will come to their aid all the
state banks and they control more
than half of the banking business Of
the country. Mr.. Ridgley says:
"On June 80, 1902, state banks
to the number of 5,397 made re-
ports to the comptroller of the
currency, being an increase over
1901 in the number making re-
turns of Ala. The aggregate capi-
| tai stock of these institutions was
$276,991 1893, and the individual
deposits 81 ,69S,1 ,1S5 ,2S7, an increase
during the year of s21 ,939,325 in
capital and $87 1888, ,O41 in deposits.
Their total resources on June 80,
1902, were $1,000, ,715, an in
crease over the preceding year Of
nearly $149,000,000.
CON the same date returns were
received from 1,036 savings banks
with resources aggregating ST.
1893, ,172,9S6, and deposits amount
ing to S2,750, TT 290, or an aver
age of s412.53 to each of the g.
666,672 depositors as compared
Will du average uepOSll vi PfOooO
in 1901. Of the total number of
savings institutions reporting, GOT,
with $2,3S0, ,200,S04 deposits, are of
the mutual class, that is, banks
without capital, and which are
operated by trustees in the inter
est Of the depositors. These banks
are practically all located in the
New England and eastern states,
those Of the latter section holding
more than so per cent of the say
ings deposits of the country.
I'm 1901, 334 loan and trust
companies with total resources of
$1,6l4,981 605 reported, and in
1902, AT institutions of this char
acter made returns. During the
year their resources increased in
the sum of 1868 ,233,1 ,102, and aggre-
gated on June 80, 1902, $685.
214,707.
"The number Of private banks
reporting was 1902, as compared
The independent., 1903-04-02

with 917 in 1901. Assuming that
the banks making no returns held
deposits in the same proportion as
those which reported to the comp
troiler, it is estimated that the
aggregate of DEPOSITS in all banks
was $9,707,2S1 ,904. Of this, 33.2
per cent was held by the national
banks"
From this statement it will be seen
that the national banks control only
one-third of the financial power and
if the other two-thirds can, be con-
centrated against them they are sure
to go down. .-....... e.. 49,.
The other portions of the Kansas
City platform contain the great "prn-
ciples' that underlie just government.
To them will rally as of old the COM
mon people. Government by injunc-
ton and trust domination are becom-
ing every day more unpopular. Let
the portion be dropped that is not of
present importance and push those
parts in which two-thirds of the
banking capital and all the common
people are vitality interested. To these
the populists will give enthusiasts
support. They were never Silver
lunatics" at any time.
Let the Bryan democrats reaifirm
the principles of the Kansas City
platform, swear eternal allegiance TO
them and be satisfied with that. The
changed conditions require new pol
icies." The insistant questions of this
time are trusts, a modification OF the
tariff, government by injunction, ard
that the government shall issue all
the money, and never delegate that
sovereign power 70 private corpora
tions. All these things the populists
favor. They advocate other things to
which the democracy, if kept out CT
the Hill and Cleveland camp will
come by and by.

The Chicago Chronicle is one of the
kind Of democratic papers that de-
light the hearts of all the republican
leaders. Notwithstanding that Carter
Harrison was unanimously nominated
by the democratic convention for
mayor and no charge of fraud was
made, this democratic" paper is sup
porting the republican nominee.
Among democratic" papers of that
kind is the Brooklyn Eagle, which
has not supported a democratic ticket
for ten years. A democratic paper
that always supports the republican
party is an invention of these later
years. The trusts see to it that such
papers make money.
