He says that in order to start a national bank those bonds must be purchased even at the advanced price.

As if this had anything to do with the question of loans by the government. The matter of premium is purely private, between purchaser and seller.

It is purely a question of private agreement between us and the present owners whether we pay the premium.

The government considers the bond worth par and agress to pay dollar for dollar for it. Now take the case of land. My neighbor has a farm which the government considers worth $10,000 and will loan $5,000 on it. I want the place very badly and my neighbor refuses to sell for $5,000. We agree to make a transfer, the consideration being $11,600.

No more has the question of premium on bonds any proper place in the question of the government's part in this matter of loans. cerning the American people we believe that the time has arrived for a crystalization of the political reformers of our country, and the formation of what should be known as the People's Party of the Unite States of America.

I have just received a marked copy of an open letter, published last wt ek in the Toledo Blade, in which Senator Sherman attempts to annihilate the demands of the People's party in reference to money. Notwithstanding the declarations of the Senator that no sensible man could for a moment entertain such views, I confess that he has failed to convince me of absurdity of the atitude ofjthe new party. The demand for a 2 per cent loan on land he characterized as wild and altogether without precedent in this country. He says that he knows of no instance in which the government of the United States has ever loaned money to anyone for 1 or 2 per cent, or at any other rate. Let us see.

Does not the government loan to national bankers at 1 per cent? Mr. Sherman says no. The printing national bank notes, he says, is simply the preparation by the government of the private notes of the banks, and for this service and expense incurred the government "taxes" the banks 1 per cent. If those are to be considered as private notes, why should the government go to the trouble to issue them and then in turn demand that the bonds be deposited at Washington as security? If these notes are but the private paper issued by these banks, why should the government issue them any more than it should issue private notes to me or anyone else and demand a like security? Would the paper issued by these banks without reference to the government be any better than paper issued by any other equally substantial business corpo-poration? It is clear to every one who stops to think that it is the government's part in putting the bank notes into circulation that causes the people to accept it unhesitatingly as money.

Thomas Strange, at 11 a. m. Sunday school at 10 a. m. The National Glass Budget, the organ of the glassworkers' labor unions, has recently printed a piece of news which will show the housewives of the United States why they have been paying such high prices for their fruit jars.

It is another story, now grown familiar, of a tariff trust putting up prices to gather in tariff spoils. The manufacturers of these jars are protected by a duty of 40 per cent, on the best jars, and still higher on those of cheaper quality. Now let the buyers of fruit jars keep that fact in mind and read what the Glass Budget has to say.

There has been some delay in the preparation of the comparative railroad rate tables, but every moment has been profitably employed, and this feature alone will make the book worth one hundred times its cost to every Populist speaker or Alliance lecturer in the state.

The investigations ordered by the House are wi'itten up by those whose duties at the time ren invariably look to the credit of the bank which issued it. But for argument's sake let ua admit all that Mr. Sherman says on this point and see if the same principle does not apply equally well to all that is demanded by the People's party. It is not finical definition but fact that the people want. Let us suppose that the gov-ment does issue to a national bank $90,000 in notes and receive as security $100,000 of national bonds, "taxing" the bank 1 per cent for the service of furnishing it its own pri administered.
