At ten per cent, and that is very low for Kansas, the property holders pay annually to the eastern money syndicates $2,500,000 interest-. Of course, a quarter billion tax that principally comes off tho farmers, is hardly worth noticing these days, but when we augment this trifle with the interest annualy paid on railroad bonds and other species of taxable indebtedness, it virtually says to the early settlers: "Go west or prepare to move into Oklahoma."

There are so many inquiries for Greenbacks and free trade, his and the banks restricted to a legitimate banking business the better. sion they would rid their countries of dynamite and revolutionary assassins? To day there are moro than worth of non taxable, interect bearing bonds deposited with the federal government by the bond-holding bankers of 3,100 national banks. Every dollar of this vast amount of bonds so deposited with the government are exempt from taxation and draw three and four per cent interest. The people who pay a revenue to the federal government are so taxed about $13,000,000 annually on those bonds over which ninety per cent, of the face value of said bonds is issued in national bank cur reccy to the bond-holding-bankers of 3,100 national banks located in the various states and territories. It is safe to presume that said favored bankers have nearly, if not quite, $400 000,000 of national bank curre ncy, for which they are taxed "one half of one per cent, semi-annually," or $2,000,000 a year to defray the expense of the federal government in providing and furnishing said bankers the $400,000,000 circulated and official superintending the national banking system.

The federal gov-ernmrnV could call in the national bank currency and replace it with $400,000,000 of greenbacks. Were thi3 done, then an equal amount of interest-bearing bonds could be cancelled, which would save the rev enue payers of the nation, about annually that is now applied on the bonds held on deposite for the 3,100 national banks. You see, the $400,000,000 of full legal tender treasury notes would take the place of that amount of national bank currency furnished the bankers. Were this done, the people could rely upon a better money that would be honored in every court of our nation for the lawful discharge of legal 6b ligations, besides save paying double interest (interest on the bond and currency) to the bond holding bank ers. By such a change, the bank of exchange, discount and deposite would take the place of the present blood sucking, double interest draw ing national banks of issue.

For more than twenty years this vicious monetary system has systematically robbed the American producer, far mer, mechanic and wage -worker of untold millions that has gone to enrich the wealthy and oppress the poor and yet, during all these years of spoliation the repeal of this robber law has never been beyond the province of the robbed and ruined masses. Self sacrificing love for party worship, disregard for true principle and downright predjudice for remedial blessings of this kind, has done more to enslave the masses than all other evils combined in the past or present associated with popular government or boasted liberties the American people are too dependent to enjoy. former Republican and No danger of contraction need Since dynamite is so provident in this country, may we not with equal of this kind and character that we have concluded to answer but one each week through the columns of this paper, so please excuse our re ply by letter. partisan admirers dub him "a shiftless, changable, unreliable editor."

Tho unoccupied Oklahoma country from which the lawabiding settlers have been forcibly ejected so many times is geographically situated in tho center of the In dian Territory and lies north of the South Canadian river and south of the Cherokee Strip, east of the Chey enne and Arrapahoe reservations and west of the Pawnee, Sac and Fox, Iowa, Kickapoo and Pottawatomie reservations. This valuable tract of wild land that for more than twenty years has been owned by the federal government and subject to lawful settlement embraces one million eihgt hundred and eighty seven thousand eight hundred acres." It was purchased of tho Creek and Seminole Indians in the year, 1S66; and, in verification of what is here said, I take occasion to publish so much of the treaties of the above mentioned tribes as relate directly to the federal ownership of said tract of unappropriated, unoccupied lands.
