The Populist leader gave out an inter-
view yesterday in which he presumes TO
say nothing for the President, but a
great deal as to what he thinks should
be done and should not be done TO cure
cur currency ills. He said these things
10 the President.
few paragraphs from Mr.. Watson s
interviews are as follows:
The great trouble with our financial
system is that the national bankers have
been allowed 10 narrow the foundations
