Tbe Hanking System.
Themfnaceto Amerira is the concen
tration ot wealth and power. Private
control of natural monopolies is the
source of unjUHt accumulation of wealth.
Fotn this source arises most of the evils
that threaten the welfare of the masses.
The remedy, therefore, naturally lies in
the abolition of private control of these
natural monopolies and the substitution
of national, state and municipal co-operation.
Enough lilt been done in this
direction to strengthen its deduction
with the indisputable experience of facts.
Municipal control of gas plants, electric
lighting and water works has been tried
and proven effective and highly satisfac
tory. But such results are local, while
the evil effects of concentrating wealth
are general. The next natural step must
be general (government) national con
trol of natural monopolies, the effects of
which are general. This is the next and
most necessary step. Government banks
railroads, telegraphs and telephones are
to the nation what municipal control o?
its franchises is to localities, It must not
be assumed, however, that abolition ot
private control of these national func
tions constitutes a complete remedy for
existing conditions. Such a step would
only be remedial. The greatest monop
oly existing today is the monopoly ot
' money. It is the most distressing in its
consequences of any other in this coun
try, and through it all other monopo
lies are being established and confirmed.
: The law of the land requires all debts,
public and private, to be paid in money.
Hence the demand for money is coex
tensive with debt incurred and taxes
levied. The division of labor gives rise
to a demand for a universal representa
tive of all wealth money. Hence the
demand for money is equal to the neces
sity of indirect exchange, at leaset, Who
ever or whatever controls the money of
a nation therefore controls the whole
system of production and exchange.
This control is now exercised by the
banks, private corporations. There are
now about 3,706 national banks 4,837
incorporated and 848 unincorporated
private banks in the United States.
These banks can throw the whole nation
into a panic and bring about incalculable
uffering at will, as has been witnessed
during the past year. They command
the price of property and wages, as well
as the entire commercial and productive
activities of the nation. They are the
dictators of social and industrial condi
tions: These are well established, indeed
it might be said, almost axiomatic facts.
The increase of national wealth has
been about 3 per cent during the last de
cade, but the increase of debt has been
over 11,000,000,000 per year the wealth
produced has gone into the hands of the
monev-mongers and left the producers
over 11,000,000,000 in debt.
To understand how the wealth pro
duced during the last decade has been
absorbed by banking institutions, one
should study a table in Rhode's Journal
of Banking for June, 1 891.
From it we may see that an investment
of $16,300,000 yields an annual income
of 51.54 per cent or $8,530,280, while
the increase of national wealth is only
about 3 per cent. This is for New York,
the center of our financial policy and the
real seat of our government. It must be
remembered that the banking system
however reaches into every city and
town of any importance and thus the
usury leech sucks up the blood of every
community. Take Oshkosli, for example.
We have six banks: from this number we
take the last statement of but one at the
close of business, February 28, 1894:

Here we find an investment of $200,
000 drawing of interest upon loans and
discounts ta the amount of $835,733.49
at perhaps at least 7 per cent and on un
taxable bonds to the amount of $100,
000 at 4 per cent at least, oh other
bonds to the amount of $41,183.17 at 5
per cent, and on deposit with reserve
.gents amounting to $186,548.98 at 2
oer cent, making a total of interest re
ceived at least $67,230.48. Out of this
!s paid interest on time certificates of de
posits perhaps to the amount $350,000,
out of $594,076.04 at 3 per cent or
$10,500 which would leave an income o."
about $56,000 on an investment ot
$200,000 or 28 per cent during the pres
ent hard times. The bank pays taxes on
$200,000. The other baDks absorb the
wealth produced by the working men at
the same rote. The same system is at
work in every community of our coun
try and the result is t3 be seen everj
where the same, the money loanersliv-
.ng in all the luxury that wealth can
confer while the people are reduced to
the starvation level to support the sys
tem. Bankers cannot be blamed very
much for taking advantage of their op
tunity but the people are very foolish to
continue to support so unnecessary a
system. In the words of Banker Desh
ler: "If the people will put spurs upon
my heels and saddles upon their backs
and invite me to ride I am not fool
enough to go a-foot."
The necessity of confidence under the
present system is very opparent when it
is observed that the bank is liable to de
mands amounting to, at least, $600,000
on call with which it has to pay in gold,
silver, legal tenders, etc., about $12J!,
000. Of course if the securities are good
and sound, but, in hard times, securities
may be found worthless as in the var
ious banks of Milwaukee where the peo
ple found their confidence could not be
cashed.
Banks are necessary agents to modern
exchange, but instead of private banks
there should bo government banks oper
era ted like the postal service, at cost,
and the people saved from the enormous
drain to which they are now subject. The
depositors would he as secure as the gov
ernment or the whole wealth of the na
tion could make them and conMlenee
would never have to be restored for it
would never be lost.

Going to School.
By C. E. Walker, D. D., Councillor of American
Institnte of Civics.
'We must educate, we must educate, or
we must perish by our own prosperity,"
said Dr. Lyman Beecher, and his well
grounded proposition and the Siuaitic
thundertonesof its utterance have buried
the truth of its necessity deeply in the
consciousness, so that many, even many
thousands of, schools are operating to
develop our national soul and intellect,
looking toward a day of larger and safer
intelligence directed by an unerring con
science and will.
The days of seeming defeat in many of
our western states have brought clouds
of despondency over many Populist
minds and many expressions have been
heard which indicate fears that our hopes
may never be realized in a true democ
racy, a government by, of, and for the
people. .
This fear is unfounded, and the clouds
of despondency are clouds of needed
moisture if men but knew it. As Cowper
says,
"Ye fearful saints, fresh eonrape take;
The clouds you so much dread
Are biff with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head."
True, the immediate suffering goes un-'
relieved as the day of redemption is post
poned; but we do well to stop and think
that the radical changes we seek would
not be made if we simply carried the day
by a close majority, and until we have
educated more thoroughly a larger pro
portion of the people our hoped-for vic
tory at the ballot box would only be our
sure defeat.
As yet too few suffer with the sufferings
of the severely oppressed, and too large
a number would be satisfied with a tem
porary improvement of "the times," to
afford us a stable background for inaug
urating such revolutionary reform work
as we propose.
Let our popular education include the
development and propagation of the idea
of government ownership und operation
of commodity- and intelligence-transportation
lines; government control of
industries with inherent monopolistic
tendencies; abolishment, of descendant
estates (except very limited values, may
be); the issuance of money by the gov
ernment directly to the people; the
speedy reduction of the regular army,
and turning our navy into a commercial
agency for the people's international
trading purposes; the abolishment of
the United States Senate or else its elec
tion by direct vote; the election of the
President by direct vote, and making
him ineligible for re-election; establish
ing the initiative and referendum; and
keeping up these departments of study
in the university extension which we
may carry out through " a reform press
and platform we may bear as best we
can the sufferings intervening, so that
when trials and sufferings have brought
us together, the spirit of true brother
hood as seen in Jesus Christ taking pos
session of us, we may stand as a man of
one heart-purpose to demand a veritable
democratic government, and with the
intelligence we possess and the staidness
of heart thus developed we may enact
the laws of this enlightened and true
brotherhood spirit and thus establish a
mechanical or assertive government
upon the deep-laid foundation of a spir
itually regenerated, or true Social State
or government. For as Dr. G. D, Her
ron has said: We can't lift ourselves up
by the laws we may enact, but we may
pass helpful laws when we are well upon
that higher plane which may easily be
given description by laws of a type with
the Sermon on the Mount.
We must educate and regenerate, and
wait for a day of very greatly enlarged
enlightenment before we can say truly
"This nation is redeemed" and set fully
upon its high mission o'f doing only
righteousness. But meantime we must
"keep pegging away" and never miss an
opportunity to vote, legislate, and oth
wise teach the people to recognize the
great fact that, however well fixed eco
nomically we may be, we feel to be our
poorer brother's brothers.
We shall be very unworthy our high
political trust, when the Populists win
at the polls if we are not able to show a
brother's spirit in our "the good-of-all"
leginlation and court rulings, never once
attempting revenge by any sort of class
legislation. And we shall be only weak
and not strong ' if we too hastily come
into power, before we are fully aware of
the scope of our own political proposi
tions, the organization thus falling an
easy prey to time-serving place seekers,
who will "fall in line" because chances
are good for spoils in any unthinking po
litical body. And we want sufficient
field fightiDg to get all the shrewd lead
ers of the old parties located and "spot
ted" on all our prominent measures so no
wolf can easily slip Into the fold for any
lack of knowledge on our part.
It never seemed more needful that we
make our political progress through
much theoretical and practical thinking;
"We must educate or we must perish by
our own prosperity."

THE NEW DIPHTHERIA CURE.
Dr. Kli.yoan's flaport on Ills Rrehe
Dangers f rom Spurious Aat-Totln.
Washington, Pec. 31. The official
of the United States Marine Hospital
service are watching with interest
the results obtained from the new
diphtheria cure. They have just made
public the report made by Dr.
J. J. Kinyouu of his visit to
the Children's hospital at Berlin
where the larger portion of
cases suffering from diphtheria
are treated. There were about
thirty-five cases in the hospital at the
time of his visit and their ages were
usually from three to five years. The
death rate was slightly lower than
in the Paris hospitals for the reason
that the patients were sent to the
hospital sooner and the children re
ceived better care than was accorded
them in like institutions in Paris.
Dr. Kinyoun elaborately describes
the methods and practices employed
in the hospitals in treatment of the
disease. , '
The matter of the control or super
vision of the use of anti-toxine was
engaging the attention of the Berlin
authorities. While Dr. Kinyoun was
there, November 4, Professor Koch
convened a meeting of the Prussian
board of health for determining what
action should be taken. Professor
Koch had expressed the opinion that
there should be some government
supervision of the serum so that it
could always be relied upon. If
there was no such . supervision, it
would nut be long before spurious
articles would be put on the market
and not only would a good remedy be
brought into disrepute, but lives
might be sacrificed when they might
be saved. It was decided at the meet
ing of the board that all serum in
tended for use in Prussia, should be
inspected and tested for its purity
and strength before it would be al
lowed to be used. This was satisfac
tory to all the parties Concerned and
-will be the means of insuring a good
article of standard strength at all
times for Prussia.
In this connection Dr. Kinyoun
calls attention to what he says will
evidently occur in this country.
Many persons, will, during the com
ing year, prepare the serum as a bus
iness enterprise, and there will, with
out doubt, be many worthless articles
called anti-toxine thrown upon the
market' All of the serum intended
for sale, he believes, should be made
or tested by competent persons. The
testing, in fact, should be done by dis
interested parties. The anti-toxine,
he says, will never work miracles,
having1 its. limits like any other
agents, and like a perfect piece of
machinery, will not accomplish the
full result unless directed by a skill
ful hand. "Some persons affected
with this dread disease," he declares,
will succomb, it matters not how soon
we apply the remedy. The majority
will, however, I am sure, recover if
the anti-toxine is given early and
properly.' '
In closing, the report expresses the
hope that soon every state and munic
ipality will take the proper steps to
provide facilities for supplying the
remedy to the people.

Irrigated Farm Lands
FERTILE SAN LDIS VALLEY, COLORADO.
THHE SAN LDIS VALLEY, COLORADO, ia a stretch of level plain about
as large as the State of Connecticut, lying between surrounding rangea
of lofty mountains and watered by the Rio Grande River and a score or
more of email tributary streams. It was the bottom of a great sea, whose de
posits have made a fertile soil on an average more than ten feet deep. The
mountains are covered with great deposits of snow, which melt and furnish
tbe irrigating canals with water for the farmers' crops.
The Climate is Unrivaled.
Almost perpetual sunshine, and the elevation of about 7,000 feet dispels all
malaria, nor are such pests as chinch bugs, weevil, eta, found there. Flowing
artesian wells are secured at a depth, on an average, of about 100 feet, and at
a cost of about $25.00 each. Such is the flow that they are being utilized for
irrigating the yards, garden and vegetable crops. The pressure is sufficient to
carry the water, which is pure, all through the farmers' dwellings.
Irrigation.
Already several thousand miles of large and small irrigating canals have been
bnilt and several hundred thousand acres of lands made available for farming
operations. Irrigation is an insurance against failure of crops, because suc
cess is a question only of the proper application of water to them. The loss ol
a single corn or wheat crop in Nebraska, for instance, would more than equal
the cost ot irrigating canals to cover the entire state, so important is the cer
tainty of a full crop return to any agricultural state. Tbe San Luis Valley
will grow ,
Spring wheat oats, barley, peas, hops, beans,
potatoes, vegetables and all kinds of small fruits
,' and many of the hardier varieties of apples,
pears and all kinds of cherries.
In the yield of all these products IT has neveb been surpassed by akt otheb,
SECTION ON T113 CONTINENT! - ,
Forty Acres Enough Land.
Fobty Acres ts tCNOCOB land for the farmer of ordinary means and help. Be
sides the certainty of return, the yield, under the conditions of proper irriga
tion, will average far more than the 160-acre farms in tbe Mississippi and
'Missouri Valleys, and the outlay for machinery, farming stock, purchase
money, taxes, etc., are proportionately less. There are a hundred thousand
acres of such lands located in the very heart of the San Luis Valley, all within
six miles of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, convenient markets and
shipping stations, for sale at 15.00 per acre. Most of these lands are fenced
ana have been under cultivation and in many instances have wells and some
buildings, everything ready to proceed at once to begin farming. A small
cash payment only is required where tbe purchaser immediately occupies the
premises, and long time at seven per cent, interest is granted for the deferred
payments. '
A Specially Low Homeseekers Rate ,
will be made you, your family and friends. Should yon settle on these lands
the amount you paid for railroad fare will be credited to you on your pay
ments; and remember the laud is perfectly and thoroughly irrigated, and
the land and perpetuel water rights are sold you for less than other sec
tions ask for simply the water rights without the land. No better lands
exist anywhere on earth. For further particulars, prices of land, railroad
fare, and all other information call on or address,
