The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1888-11-24

The Hon. William Cullen in all his polit
ical speeches during this campaign has
been, in the main, SO fair in his treatment
of the topics he has pretended to touch
upon, though treated entirely from a res
publican standpoint, that it was certainly a
surprise to hear him, at the republican jol.
LITIGATION meeting on Thursday night, &C
cuse Mr.. Fairchild, or the administration
with deliberately boarding the surplus in
stead of buying bonds with it. Mr.. Cullen
but repeated Senator Allisons remark that
"For the life of me | cannot understand
why 1t is that the $96,000,0O0 is not used
to retire the AZ per cent bonds that are
presently to be paid off by the govern
ment;" and that there "has not been time
in the history of the surplus when the gov
eminent could not have purchased those
bonds so as to have made more than tive
per cent per annum interest on the money
invested Now the unfarness of touch
ing on this topic in Mr.. Allisons way, as
MIR. Cullen did, is the more manifest In
that the misrepresentation of the facts can
90 his party no good at this time, after the
election, while his remarks deliberately
deceives the people as TO the actual facts
when there Is not the slightest necessity
for such deception. Every reader of the
newspapers knows that for the first seven
months,-before, indeed, and especially
ever since congress-, by its joint resolution,
removed the shadow of doubt as to the
power of the Secretary to make such pur-
chases,-the treasury has been doing just
that very thing, Is doing 1t today and, as
Mr.. Fairchild but the other day announced,
will continue to do it as long as this admin.
istration Is In power The government
cannot compel bondholders to sell their
holdings. John Sherman when Secretary
OF the Treasury had the present law passed
which made 1t impossible for the govern.
ment to redeem at will, and all it can now
do is to buy such bonds as are offered for
sale; and all bonds that have been offered
(S25,OOO,OOO up to Oct lst the government
has bought at some price, generally at
LOSE, though it has been able to save In
interest only / 60 per cent, and not two per
cent, as Mr.. Cullen says could be done.
The Secretary himself in his New York
speech of Oct. 18th as ably and fully re-
viewed this whole subject that there can be
no reasonable excuse for any mans finding
fault that more bonds have not been pur.
chased, because the sole reason they have
not been purchased is that they could not
be purchased; and If Mr.. Cullen or any
one else can point out a way by which
greater purchases can be made there, there
Is no doubt the Secretary would be very
thankful for the suggestion.

NO OTHER
RAILWAY In THE
NORTHWEST

has in so short a period gained the rep
utation and popularity enjoyed by the
WISCONSIN CENTRAL LINE. From
a comparatively unknown factor in the
commercial world, it has been trans
formed to an independent, influential,
grand Through Route, with magnifi-
cent depots, superb equipments and I'M
surpassed terminal facilities. Through
careful catering to details, it has won
for itself q reputation for solidity, safety,
convenience and attention to its pat
rons, second to no railroad in the
country. Pullman sleepers, models of
palatial comfort, dining cars in which
ihe cuisine and general appointments
are up to the highest standard, and
coaches especially built for this route,
are among the chief elements which
have contributed towards catering sue
cessfully to q discriminating public.
Located directly on its line, between
Chicago and Milwaukee, and 81. Paul

ing cities of Wisconsin and Michigan:

CLOSING UP THE RANKS.

1t is conceded on all hands that New
York and Indiana are the chief battle
grounds in the present contest. 1t Is
claimed for the third party Prohibition
lists that they are pushing their canvass
vigorously in both those states, and they
give it out that their recruits are largely
from the Republican party, SO much so
that their canvass will greatly lessen the
chances of that party for carrying either
of the states named. Other information
at hand. however, from Republican and
Democratic sources. and as reliable as
anv our Prohibition friends can possibly
obtain. is to the effect that the Third par
ty will cut but very small figure IN the
election next Tuesday in either New
York or Indiana. Whatever may have
been the feelings and convictions here
tofore on the prohibition question, and
on all other side issues as for that, all re-
| alize that the contest is between the two
great parties, the Republican and Dem
| ocratic, and those whose sympathles and
convictions touching the all important
/ issues of the contest are falling into hne
with the one or the other as their convlc-
tons lead them. From the data AT hand
our notion is that the two leading parties
will more nearly absorb the entire vote of
the country than has been done perhaps
ever before. Voters who prefer Republi-
can success to Democratic triumph viii
vote the Republican ticket, straight.
/ Prohibitionists admit that very much has
be en- accomplished in the cause of prohi
bition in the Republican states of the
north, and they must also admit that Ii
has been done without assistance from
Democrats, but rather in spite of open
opposition and resistance from that party.
Not only so, but the Republican party
stands pledged 10 go forward with the
work, and the faithfulness with which il
/ has fulfilled its every pledge in the past
is sufficient guaranty that it will continue
to do SO. not only in this but i'll every
other matter committed TO Its charge.

THOSE FIGURES.

The report of the state board of agri-
culture for August and September, Is
sued last week, gives Leavenworth
population of 81, 227, and places Wichita
third in the list of cities with a popula-
ton of 33. 919. The Leavenworth Times
of Saturday states that the total number
of registered voters in that city when
the books closed Friday night was 5,621,
of which 1914 were women, leaving 1858
as the number of males who will be vot-
ers Tuesday, November G. According
to the common standard of one male
voter to five inhabitants this showing
places the population of Leavenworth at
"a, 165. The registration books OF Wlch-
tia show male voting population OF
1894. Upon the basis of five to one

THEY THINK IT ANYWAY.

A note from Rev. j. N. Monroe says
that he did not use the expression IN
speaking of the editor Of the EAGLE be-
ing pretty specimen to talk of prohlbl-
ton: Gle has plenty of it every day.
We are glad to have Mr.. Monroe's denial,
but he certainly left the impression upon
the minds of number Of his audience
that the editor Of the EAGLE Is no better
than he ought to be, for which there is
no use for apologies, for we expect that
that is about what all the prohlbltlonlStS
think anyway. Even Mr.. Monroe nor
Mr.. Botkin could satisfy large number
of their following that we are not wholly
bad, and if they should attempt to make
anv other showing of US they would
ieopardize their standing and influence

such an event, think even less OF them
