! You will notice that Leslie M. Shaw
Is convert to the old Populist fiat
money idea, except that he would let
the banks issue the money instead of
the government, but would make the
government guarantee it. His idea is
to let the banks issue s40O. o00.0 900 addi-
tional currency without depositing any
securities to back it, but subject to a
tax of five per cent to insure its with
drawal from circulation as soon as
there is no further use for it. That is
real fat money for you.

owen Tyler was the Democratic
candidate for mayor of Louisville, on
declaration of his own in favor of
a wide-open town. He was in straits
for an issue, and adopted one appeal
ing directly to the saloons and all the
worst elements of the community. The
result was that while many Democrats
of high character supported him for
regularity's sake, many others openly
revolted and went over to the Repub-
licans, who were standing for strict
enforcement of the Sunday-closing
law. The ministers Of the city united
in asking for the election of the Re-
publican candidate for mayor, and adj
dressed their congregations repeatedly
from the pulpit on the subject. Ordin-
arily Louisville is Democratic by some
thousands, but Mr.. Tyler, weighted
down by this play to the liquor inter-
ests and by other Influences operat-
ing against the Democracy, was over
whelmingly defeated.
It did not take shrewd politician
like Mr. Bryan long to measure the
situation and decide upon his course.
