An Old Banner The news dispatches a day or two ago told us of the meet- dng, at St. Louis, of the “old guard” of the populist or people's party. * Populism! Do you remember how it used to be denounced fand derided for the devices which it bore on its banners, de wices once “strange” and even “crazy,” but which are now familiar and even welcome? Twenty—fifteen years ago, its nk for the initiative, referendum and recall was declared an akable heresy. Populism also demanded the government ownership of wailroads and all public utilities which are by their nature Monopolies. The populists believed, and still believe, that any “utility which has to be used in common, should be owned in ‘common, through the medium of the governmental authorities These are, nationally, railroads, telegraphs, telephones, water- ‘ways and highways, and obviously the postal service. Thos E. Watson, while in congress, fathered rural free delivery, and the people's has always advocated a parcels post. But ‘the populists contend that making steel, machinery and gen eral Commodities, are not by nature, but by artifice, monopo lies. That they are hardships upon producer, laborer and con “sumer, and that, as evils, they should not be regulated, to femain as a continuing burden, but abolished by removing from them the props of legislative privilege. They will reiterate the demand that the government re @ume its proper function of issuing all money and regulating its volume, and are absolutely opposed to delegating this sov- reign function to a clique of private bankers, who precipitate industrial panics and foreign wars at their own pleasure. They will declare against land monopoly. All these have been fundamental tenets. Right or wrong, they argue that the cause of poverty should be sought at the Zoots and yanked out, the people made industrially free through ming opportunity, rather than allowing opportunity to stay d while trying to palliate the effects.
