to injure the inhabitants of a single '
state, they could vote upon the ques
tion of bringing action through their
ptate government. If carried, these
cases would come within the original
jurisdiction of the supreme court,
whose decision regarding constitu
tionality of the laws thus questioned
;would be final and binding. - . , .
Our national government should
take possession- of all railroads, inter
state express companies and telegraph
lines.. Bonds issued in payment should
I)e made payable in full legal tender
American money. Holders of present
railroad and other securities to be re
munerated by conversion of their hold
ings upon basis of stock exchange quo
tations between boom and panic prices.
Privilege reserved to make evolution
ary payments of all bonds. At regular
intervals small payments to be made,
ach bond being proportionately re
duced. .To prevent inflation all banks,
national, state and private and also
trust companies will be compelled to
4volutionarily increase the proportion
of full legal tender money in their own
vaults, as compared with their ag
gregate deposits, loans and discounts.
Pursuing the system outlined in a
short time our citizens through our
government, without snock or disloca
tion, will ' have killed several birds
with one stone. Tne all-controlling
railroad-banking clique will be shorn
of their iniquitous power. Their, roads
owned by our government and operat
ed for the welfare or air. The falla

of railroads, etc., secured under clause
of constitution permitting taking of
private property for public use, ade
quate compensation being given. Reg
ulation of banking institutions based
upon constitutional prerogative of
congress to coin money and regulate
its value. (The value of money is its
purchasing power.) Right of con
gress to enact uniform taxation can
also be invoked to attain the end
i)ank credits. - Suitable additions to

present national Dannrupicy aci, cau
also be made to co-operate, and we
should likewise enact that all wages
must be made payable in lawful mon
5; also that terms of credit extend
ed upon all lines or merchandising
shall gradually b decreased until the
entire merchandizing ' ; sphere be
, brought to a cash basis.
me quaniative ineory or money is
, correct, but it should be borne in mind
that whatever performs the exchange
or debt paving function, performs the
monetary function, and is , therefore
subject to congressional legislation.
I A bill should be drafted up Imposing
a graduated tax upon incomes. This
till should also contain provisions im
posing a graduated tax upon property
received through inheritance or will.
Under our present constitution it is
not within the power or congress to
impose taxation upon land values ' in
such manner as will prevent holders
from taking title to wealth which
they have not created. Direct land re
form at the present time is therefore
merely a local issue ana must so re
main until our national constitution is
amended. Local enactment to the; efn
feet that, through a sliding scale of
taxation, no land should be allowed
to increase in value unless 1 improved
through the expenditure of labor or
of capital thereon, . would speedily
work a great change for the better.
The drastic operation' of the present
unconstitutional plan .of the .single
taxers would not alone destroy; -.-tne
equity of many real estate holders in
their property, but would in-many in
stances inflict loss upon tnoso holding
mortgages on real estate. .Monetary
and transportation reform will .indi
rectly solve the land problem to a con
siderable extent. , I
Our present economic extern can bo
likened unto a milk supply. - There is
at present a moderate supply of milk

produced. Wall street tricksters deftly
take the cream; and our business men
and working classes cut each other's
throat in quarreling over the division
of the skimmed milk. By considering
a few conservative laws an era of
economic salvation would be ushered
in, ; wherein the unlimited production
of milk would be facilitated and en
couraged and the entire . product of
good rich lacteal fluid divided amongst
the actual creators and distributors.
With a stable level of prices perma
nently maintained, all workers would
be actively employed at all times and
the door would be opened wide for
voluntary1 co-operation, which could
be upon a small, moderate or gigantic
scale, being guided by conditions and
the - rational desires of workers and
business men. Business men and
workingmen should co-operate against
their common enemy, the little clique
of Wall street, who through their in
iquitious control of national legisla
tion, are plundering the people of all
sections of vast wealth, the title to
which they kindly lodge with them
selves,, through their nefarious dodges.
The- smaller, bankers throughout our
nation are good citizens. The leaders
of the international banking clique are
fiends incarnate. The . bankers in
cities and towns throughout our na
tion will, in the course of a short time,
be swept away by the financial monop
olists, who have feigned friendship to
them. Suitable provisions could be
made to protect the business interests
of non-speculative "bankers, who have
been and are conducting legitimate
business.
t "in union there is strength." Let
us humbly seek to co-operate, recog
nizing that with, a just economic sj-s-tem
that our nation could support a
population equal to that of the entire
earth, with the material wants of all
amply provided for. The nobler fac
ulties and aspirations should be dill
'gently cultivated. Let there ; come
peace and generous rivalry amongst
economic and political workers of ev
ery truth aspiring movement

The following table shows the amount of money (80'J.ftl) received from a wagon load of

as the mill now contemplated Is in operation the cost for mining and milling will not ex

It is to put the necessary machinery in place quickly that the stock Is no being offered at
