maniacs, have you not? II SO, you
know they are rich or well to do peo-
pie who steal. II poor man or one
In abject need should cCsertly take
property not his own, that is plain
stealing. If one is wealthy or not
needing what he takes when stealing,
he is a maniac and not responsible.
This same rule applies to railway pres
idents and directors. They are auto
cramaniacs, and their crazy antics at
rate-maling are no less detrimental to
the public than to legitimate railroad
ing. If an interstate tariff is issued
on the first of the month, the moon
does not change until supplement is
issued amending it. A comparison
of rates made today does not hold good
for tomorrow When will sanity take
possession of the railway owners and
of the public and put in postal rate
equitable and just? Let us hope 1t
will be soon. One thing is sure, we
can not leave rate-making to managers
nor to directors of railways. We will,
in later articles explain how the postal
rate should be applied to the rail
ways by the general government in
regulation of rate-making and what
that rate should be.

What Retirement of the Greenbacks
Mean

HUSau
Now, then President Roosevelt, at
the height of his popularity, is recon-
mending the retirement of green
backs, it is well that the public should
know what that means
That the bulk of the cash business
transacted in this country is with
paper money no one will deny. The
issue is sauarely drawn. Shall the
government or the banks issue this
money?
It is proposed that the government
print the money, furnish the credit
and turn it over to the banks to loan
to the people.
The banks would have not only the
special privilege of taxing the peo-
pie for the use of this money, but
what is Infinitely more important, the
power to control the volume Of cur
rency, and therefore to set a price on
every kind of property, and fix the
value of the wages of every laborer
in the land.
Give the banks this power and it is
more than any king in the world po-
sesses.
With it they can control elections,
dictate to the executive departments
of the government and corrupt the
courts.
A few men at the head Of the great
national banking system, with its ralni-
fications in every part Of the country,
could, and no doubt would, control the
entire business of the nation.
AS the New York Tribune said a
few years ago: "They can act together
on a single days notice, with such
power that no act Of congress can
overcome or resist their decision
It will be remembered that this
power was killed by Jackson's veto
and was not again able to show its
head until the year 1858, when the
government was in the throes of a
civil war, and then, taking advantage
of it's crippled condition, the associat-
ed banks forced the system upon the
people.
AS Jackson has we'll said, we are
not left to conjecture what the banks
will do when once clothed with power.
We know what they have done.
In his message of December 2, 1884,
President Jackson, speaking Of the
United States bank, said it has be-
come "the scourge of the people" and
then goes on to say: Events have sat.
isfied my mind and think the minds
of the American people that the mis-
chiefs and dangers which flow from
the national bank far overbalances
all it's advantages. The bold effort
the present bank has made to control
the government, the distress it has
wantonly produced, s. are but
premonitions of the fate which awaits
the American people should they be
deluded into preparation of this in
stitution, or the establishment OF an
other like it."
have not had space to give to the
national banking system the attention
which the present situation demands
but will do so in the near future.
feel that, just at the present time
pending the presidents recommends
ton to retire the greenbacks, it is the
greatest evil which now threatens the
welfare and liberties of the people,

A DANGER THAT THREATENS US ALL

A large part Of the poison created
within the body, or separated from the
food we eat, is passed off by the kid
neys through the urine. IL Is very i'm
portant that this filtering work of the
kidneys should go on undisturbed, 9TH
erwlse the body cannot remain in a
condition of health.
Very little causes are likely TO set
the kidneys wrong. and kidney dis
eases come on so quietly that at first
they are not noticed. There is little
pain, other than backache, and few
outward signs besides irregularity of
the passages of the urine. If the
trouble is continually neglected. how
ever, II soon reaches a stage of con-
stadt backache, pain and distress, and
there Is no more terrible affiction than
Brights disease, which may be the
final outcome.
It is very necessary to keep the kid
neys well, and there Is one remedy
that can be always depended on
Doan's Kidney Pills This remedy be-
gins its work first by cleansing and
toning up the kidneys, arousing them
to action and increasing the flow Of
urine. SO that urea, uric acid and sedi-
ment are washed from the kidneys and
bladder and driven out Of the system.
The treatment rebullds and invigor-
ates the kidney tissue, assists in filter
