This book is, to begin with, a thoroughlo well written love story, with an interesting plot and life like characters. Whoever begins it will read it through. When he has road it, if he is already a Populist, he will overflow with enibusiasm, while if he was a Republican or a Democi at he will have many things to think over. t . The Referendum Movement. Parties who are interested in the subject of the Initiative and Referendum, as now in operation in all the cantons of Switzerland, should read ’’Direct Legislation,” a 25 cent pamphlet which can be had at this office. It is a subject of vital import to every one and should be carefully considered before . it is condemned It is exceedingly simple in its application to American slates and should be treated with the same nonpartisan spirit that was given the Australian ballot. Through it every man would be a law maker direct, with as little expense to the stale as any election of officers now is. 1 i” . 4 ' . . < POpU 11 is’a 1,6-pa■ e publication, and more than half of each i'ssffe is given t<> picturesiand stnikipg captoons.

But is the Baltimore plan a reform? It give the associated I - nits the power to < xpand the currency and relieve the country. Italso gives mem the power to contract it at will and create widespread distress for their own private gain. It puts the credit of the government behind every bank note. It donates all but half of one per cent of the potit on the note issue of the banks, and it leaves plenty of <»| por tun it ies fora Napoleon of Finance to wreck a batik and leave ti e government to pav the note*. It leaves the banks free to demand the highest interest that the several states will allow, and afford no relief to farmers and business men of moderate capital. Contrast with this THE HILL BANKING SYSTEM. In “Money Found,” an exceedingly valuable and instructive book. Hon. Thomas E. Hill proposes that the govern ment open its own bank in every large town or county sea in the United States, pay 3 per cent on long time deposits, receive deposits subject to cueck without interest, and loau money at the uniform rate as 4 per cent to every one offering security worth double the amount of the loan. This plan’is not an expense to the government, but a source of large revenue. It secures the government amply, which the Baltimoie plan does not. It relieves the distress of the common people, which the Baltimore plan does not. It protects not only note holders but depositors, who are unsecuted now under the Baltimore piun would be still worse off. * In a word, the Baltimore plan is in the interest of the bankers, the Hill Banking System is iu the interest of the people. Consider them both, and Luk your' congressman to vote for the i- uo you believe in.
