LACK OF DELIcAcY.
A Republican Organ Attacks Pension
CoIuI,iSslouer

A Republican Organ Attacks Pension
Commissioner Raum.
Either Pension Commissioner Raum
should resign or his son John should go
out of the pension business There
ought to be sufficient sense of the pro-
prieties of life in the family to force one
of them to quit.
It appears that man named Wilkin-
son and MIR. John Raum have gone into
the pension and bounty claims business,
the senior partner having an Office in
the little village of Mount Carmel in
this State, and the junior partner hav-
ing one in Washington, and looking
after cases before a bureau where his
father is Commissioner and one of his
brothers clerk. The firm is advertis-
ing over Illinois and probably over the
country.
1t is not at ali probable that Messrs.
Wilkinson & Raum have any special
facilities for getting business attended
to at the Pension Bureau. It would be
hazardous to favor them at the expense
of other claim agents. Still, the name
of a public officer is being used to get
business for firm of which his son is
one of the members. The old soldiers
will believe that an agent who is so near
to the Com missioner must have advan-
tages which others do not possess. 1t
comes close, therefore, to being case of
getting business under false pretenses
son who had any delicacy of feeling
would not do any thing which would
subject his father to unjust but natural
suspicious. A father who cared much
for his good name would not tolerate
for moment the attempt on the part
e L.
the Raum family seem to have thick
hides, however, and they may not mind
what the outside world is saying SO long
as the cash comes in.
General Raum went into Office under
favorable circumstances. He had made
a good record in the Internal Revenue
Bureau. He succeeded the surplus
buster" Tanner, whose administration
of the Office had been marked by irreg
ularities, such as the rerating of pen
sions, but for some time back the pres
emit incumbent has been the object of
charges in and out of Congress, and to
some of them he has made no reply So
far as these accus ations limited at mis-
conduct nobody who knew him be-
lieved them. When he was accused of
peddling out among his clerks the stock
of company in which he was inter
ested he denied it, and his denial was
believed.
But in the light of this unrebuked APP
pearance of his son as pension agent
at a time when the business, owing to
the passage of the dependent act, is to
be most profitable one, it is difficult
to see how far General Raum's denials
Of past charges can be given much
weight He has shown too plainly that
he has not high standard of official
proprie ty-that he is willing to put up
with suspicion and distrust, SO that
some member of his family may make
little money out of the old soldiers.
His course is notifying to every nli-
noisan. Tribune (Rep.).

with the merchant service Of other
countries. it is now proposed to pay
men out of the Treasury to meet these
obstacles, rather than to remove them.
Many of the vessels in the carving
trade are owned by Americans, but they
find it improbable to sail under the
flag of their country. The tariff and
ship-building regulations. are in their
way. The provisions of the act in sub
stance are that the United States will
pay each home-built ship engaged in the
foreign trade a bonus of 80 cents for
each 1, 600 miles or fraction thereof, for
every registered ton gross. with q
trifiing variation or two. This would
involve an expense of 80 cents ton, or
nearly that for a vessel running be-
tween New York and Liverpool A
steamer Of 5000 tons register would get
81, 500 for each passage, or So, 600 for the
round trip. If it makes twenty trips a
year it would have for its subsidy $780,.
600. Ships going on long voyages, such
as around Cape Horn to South American
ports, or about the Cape of Good Hope
to India or China, would be paid in the
same proportion. These figures are to
continue ten years and the next nine
years there is to be reduction of three
cents a ton. No close estimate can ba
made of the outlay to be required by
this measure. but if it meets the expec
tations of its supporters it must run Ut
among the large millions. They insist
that it will more than multiply by four
the present tonnage of about 1000, OOo
in the foreign trade. The cost would be
enormous were there ships under Amer
lean register to take advantage of it
Time will be required to build them
This is all that saves the Treasury from
a fearful depletion.-St- Paul Globe.

THE FORCE BILL.
Condemned by Business Men in All Sec
tiOns of the Country.

Condemned by Business Men in All Sec
tiOns of the Country.
AS a general rule, we think that bust
ness journals should not interfere in
partisan politics. but there are political
measures which are so intimately asso-
ciated with the welfare of the whole
country that it becomes the duty of
every business man to speak out and let
himself be heard upon them.
At Appomattox General Grant said to
General Lee: ''Tell your men to take
their horses home with them to help
them make their crops" and afterward
uttered the immortal words: ''Let us
have peace.''
The people of the South accepted their
defeat in good part, and went earnestly
to work to retrieve their fortunes, with
a result which has challenged the adj
miration of the world; but just as the
New South is emerging from it's dark
ness. with its labor contented and it's
resources developing by a union of
Southern effort and Northern capital,
certain politicians, actuated by the
same spirit which General Grant re-
buked, now come forward and for parti-
san purposes seek again to stir up strife
between the North and the South by
proposing what is popularity known as
''the force BILL Federal election law
which Lincoln, Grant and Garfield. the
great leaders of the Republican party,
if alive to-day, would unhesitatingly
condemn, and which every fair no inded
man must pronounce as unwise as it is
unnecessary. Even intelligent colored
men are already found protesting against
1t as sure to result in detriment to their
race. f:
The conditions at the South are such
that until the colored people have grown
in intelligence, liberation and virtue,
the white race must necessarily DO the
dominant race. Northern Republicans,
who visit the South and see for them
selves, admit this. The property of the
South is being taxed to educate the col
ored people, and in time they will rise
to the responsibilities and duties of cit
izenship; but to attempt to employ bay
onets in regulating elections in Repub-
lican country a quarter of century af-
ter the war, is step backward that 1.-The
common sense of most will not indorse,
and that the dominant party will find to
be as bad policy from a Republican party
point of view, as it is untimely and un-
just
Among the first to condemn it will be
the men in blue, VIII o fought against the
men in gray, and who sympathize more
with the sentiments of their great lead
er than they do with those who seek to
speak for the Republican party to-day.
At any rate. it is time for the business
men of the United States to protest in
the name of the country's welfare against
such legislation as the force bill, and
that they aeM protest earnestly and Wig
orousty the leaders of the Republican
party will find out in 1892, if they do
not before. Grocer.

How the Ancients swore.

Among the ancient Romans it was con
sidered the thing for each man to have
some particular god to habitu ally swear
by. Some swore by Jupiter. others by
Mars, others still by Minerva, and so
on. Castor and Pollux were usually
appealed to as the ''Twins"-''By Gem
ini"-the phrase where we get our excla-
nation, ''By JIMMY 1t was thought
very improper for Roman ladies to swear
by the male gods, but they were per-
mitted to take the names of the Twins
in vain. and also especially that of We.
nus. In moments of great aggravation
they might go SO far as to cry ''Macas-
tor"-'By Castor!' The Greeks swore
by the cabbage, which was the most
pr lied of etables.-Cincinnati En-

DEMOCRATIC TOilERS.
Can They Better Themselves by Joining
New Party?

Can They Better Themselves by Joining q
New Party?
The silly report that there is fight
on between the Democratic and Farm.
ers' Union LABOR party is entirely un.
founded. The truth is the essential
principles of the two parties are the
same. and the question is, can Demo.
cratic farmers better themselves by
leaving their party and going to some
other? The Republican party is re-
sponsible for the hard times and scarcity
of money in the West Farmers who
have voted that ticket have abundant
right to complain, as they have not
been represented at all. The men they
have elected to law-making bodies have
never taken into account their interests
and wishes. but have wholly ignored
them. On the other hand this is not
true of Democrats. Democratic legis-
lators have done their utmost to EN-.
body into laws for the past thirty years
the very measures which the Western
people are so earnestly demanding now
They were unable to do so, however,
because the party has not had com.
plete control of the Government since
the war.
AS sample of some of the legisla-
ton passed by Democratic legislative
bodies, take the work of the Indiana
Legislature two years ago. Among
the important laws passed by it were
the following:
1. The new school-book law, which
reduces the cost of text books forty per
cent.
.. The Australian election system
which will prevent fraud at the polls.
3. The payment of wages every two
weeks to employees.
Other laws might be cited, but these
are sufficient for the present. They
are all in the interest of the people and
what they have been demanding. In
Missouri, Democratic State. the only
law so far passed in the United States
against trusts, an antitrust law can be
found which confiscates the property
of these oppressive organizations, and
which has served to compel them to
quit operating in that State. So, by
careful inquiry, the Democratic farmer
and laborer will find that his party has
done all in it's power to forward his in
terests, always meeting with the united
opposition of Republican legislators.
What then has Democratic farmer
or laborer to gain in leaving his party
to vote a third ticket? Nothing. A
Republican, however, has the best rea.
sons to leave his party. If the Repub-
can farmers of this county are honest
and sincere in advocating the principles
enunciated by the F. M. B. A., and
Farmers Alliance, we do not under
stand how they can ever consistently
vote Republican ticket again. If the
measures advocated by these orders are
in their interest, then of necessity the
measures that have been passed and
are being voted for now by the Repub-
lican party are directly against their
interests, while those of the Democrat
ic party are in harmony with them.
This is a serious subject. and should be
the object of serious consideration On
the part of every Observation-Disclosures

MKINLEY AND GARFIELD.

The One Wants Protection Check Sup
plies From Abroad and the Other Was For
q Protection that Would Lead to UIti-
mate Free Trade.
Major Mckinley boldly takes the DO
sition in the report accompanying his
Tariff bill that the ray to reduce the
revenues is to increase duties, and thus
exclude or dimish imports of foreign
goods The policy Of the bill is to give
the Americas manufacturer such an
advantage over his foreign competit tor
as to force the latter to withdraw from
the contest
That is what Mckinley means when
he says in this report: 1--WE seek by the
increased duties recommended not only
to maintain but to enlarge our own
manufacturing plants and check those
supplies from abroad which can be
profitably produced at home"
He spoke in the same line in his
speech on the Tariff bill: There is not
a member of the Committee on Ways
and Means, there is not a member of
the minority of that committee, there
is not member of the House on either
side, who does not know that the very
instant that you have increased the du-
ties to a fair protective point putting
them ABOVE the nlSneSb revenue point,
that very instant you diminish importa-
lions and to that extent diminish the
revenue"
In contrast with McKinley's crazy
high tariff scheme it is highly interest
ing to note the attitude of the late Pres
ident Garfield as showing how the pro-
lection party has advanced from its
former position toward the point of alb
solute exclusion of foreign goods
In his speech on July 10, 1866. Gar
field said: II hold, therefore, that a
properly adjusted competition between
home and foreign products is the best
guage by which to regulate international
trade. Duties should be so high that
our manufacturers can fairly compete
with the foreign product but not so
high as to enable them to drive out the
foreign article, enjoy the monopoly of
the trade, and regulate the price as they
please. To this extent / am a protec-
ZIONIST II our Government pursues
this line Of policy steadily We shall
year by year approach more nearly to a
basis OF free trade. because we shall be
