Connecticut PouIii
The opportune appearance of T. P.
lltynder, the editor of the Echo, in Con-
rnecticut, started a Watson and Tibbies
(ball rolling which is liable to open the
' way for the permanent establishment
'of a new party In Connecticut und it
! iis needless to say it will be a people
' (party in the truest sense of the word
. -for there is no room for another capi
' Statistic party in this state. The re
' (publican party openly declare in lavor
of special privileges and is the nurse
mother of the trusts. The so-called
democratic party of today is a vigor
ous co-worker machine guided by even
worse influences, consequently there is
in the political world actual need of a
new paity whose aim shall be a lair
field for all.
In Connecticut the alignment of the
' republican and democratic parties is
' made up, and in every one o their
: constituent parts the similarity i4 great
enough to make it a virtually impos
sibility to distinguish between tile two.
No true believer in equal rights tan
. support either one, and the biluation
narrows down to a strong feellug of re
spect for' the Tom Watson ticket and
many wishes for its success, Hut we

crystal izo the sentiment which is
known to exist, and if guided, into the
right channels would ,J$4P:

How Sha.ll Government Control
Money
Editor Independent: The' answer to
this question is easy and yet it id dif:
ficiilt. I might answer in short, con
trol it as the money syndicate now
controls it; besides government has
the taxing power.
But the answer to this question is
dilhcult becauxe so few people realize
the necessity of government control of
our money. This phase of the mouey
question has not been agitated. It has
not been noticed even. We! ha to paid
attention a& to what should constitute
money and some attention as to who
should iiisuG the same; but rr girding
the vital question as to who should
control money, the world in general
has thus far been entirely neglectful.
There are so many who have yet to
loam that money is really controlled
by a combine of some kind. J.ieh one
realizes that he controls what mouey
la in his possession and each knows
that the name privilege extends, to
every other individual rcganting what
money each may powemr, a.id that
the volume of the circulating milium
may yet be controlled by parue who
are orRanid for that duhmmc. Is lo
ft great majority a novel it not an
absurd idea.
Again, them are nevera! Iti j that
are Inculcated by modem economic
writers that must b combated among
which is hitrrout for mono to rrivatw
artlea; abtolut ownership of money

on the part of Individuals; and that
government is a pauper and can not
produce worth or value, as It Is gen
erally expressed, and is dependent on
the wealth of individuals Tor its own
finances. So it la obvious that to show
how government may control money, a
arst requisite is to show the necessity
of such control.
Ikw few there are who realize that
government is the relied-on baening of
all credit. If one has credit with the
mouey loaner it Is because the govern
ment backs one In his claims on prop
erty and will back the loaner in any
lien on such property which the bor
rower may give to secure the leaner.
Sole dependence Is had on government
for effective reliability back of. all
credit on the books of banks, which
credit is serving constantly at' a me
dium of exchange, such croiiit would
always be reliable. But very much of
such credit originates with the banks
Instead of originating with the govern-
ment, and for which the government
assumes no reliability. Hence its hocus-pocus
characteristic.
Most people have yet to learn that
the medium of exchange, in this coun
try at least, is credit exclusively and
that said credit should all of it origi
nate with the government and be made
good by the government. '
If individuals must go in debt, other
JjjjvUIuala a creditors must, not be
aliowcff t8 iraaAat-the mediuPi of ex
change by means of sucalfcdfo6ef as,. J
but it must practically Issue all terms
of credit that are to serve as a me
dium of exchange. In no otter way
can the medium of exchange be made
"permanently effective and its volume
be governed.
There Is no; tool more important to
civilization than is a medium of ex
change. There fa., nothing . better to
serve as a medium of exchange than
well guarded" and well fortified credit:
But when one makes an exchange for
credit, or mi evidence of credit, he
should b? assured the same is as good
as the government can produce ' and
that In this country is as good as can
be produced anywhere. The idea of
allowing individuals to create at pleas
ure credit that is to serve as a medium
of exchange or of allowing individuals
to control government credit that Is
to thus serve is tolerated only because
of the mos stupid ignorance where en
lightenment is of first Important,
We can not turn the searchlight on
this subject any too soon.

Keep Up The Fight
Victory in 1908 that's what we can
have if every man will do hl3 part. In
his noble and patriotic address at
Houston, Texas, our gallant leader
sounded the call to arms for the great
contest of 1908. Think of the sacri
fice of time and money and to.'l that
he has given for the cause of justice;
think of the fact that he has given it
all without the hone or possibility of
reward; battling against featful odds
for your interest and for the cause of
humanity. Will you help him in this
contest? Will you join In rcuecming
this land from plutocratic rule and for
the re-establishment of a government
of the people, by the people, and for
the people?
With such a leader as Tow 'Watson
there need be no fear of the result. If
defeated this time, like truth- crushed
to earth, he will rho again to tight
the battle k.!der, fiercer than ever be
fore. In his soul stlrrint? aj pent for
rupport and co-operation lie nays:
"Lit no num think our cairamian

It will have just begun, It inu&t not

opposite directions by diffe-ence of
opinion. In conviction we are all alike.
In purpose we all agree. The bame

political education. Come with us!
We deserve your confidence. Our prin
ciples have stood the test of defeat.
Our faith Is that which does not de

part of our lives and we gloiy in it,
regardless of how the multitude votes.
Jeffersonians everywhere! Lit us get
together. Brothers in action. Divisions
are what plutocracy wants; unity is
what democracy must have. Begin
now the great movement which wiil
bring you victory In 1908."
Those are the patriotic w;rds of
Thomas E. Watson. No man ever de
clared a nobler purpose. The Inde
pendent has published all of Mr, Wat
son's speeches and will spare no money
or effort to support him In hid gallant
battle for reform. It will' champion
the cause of the plain people. U is one
fortress that plutocracy can njver buy
or conquer. It will never surrender,
and if forced to defeat it "will go

TOM WATSON'S BOOKS
Many . readers know . that Hon.
Thomas -E, Watson, people's party
candidate, for president, is an author
of the highest rank. At this time his
histories and books are especially in
teresting. His history of Franco is
the story of a people, not of their
rulers only. It is fascinating reading
and every, admirer . o Mr. Watson
should have a copy In his library. To
read it is to be convinced of the gen
uine sympathy the author has for the
welfare of the plain people.
Mr. Watson's treatment of history
is from ft new and - entirely modem
point of view. The welMincwn poli
tical leader Kays iu his preface that
at has, been hbs purpose to lay before
his readers "a clear narrative of the
gradual development of a great peo
ple to note the varying forms
of government, to trace the ancient
origins of modern laws and customs,
