THE NORTHEASTERN PLUTO
 CRACY.

The conduct of the Republican managers since the inauguration ui MT. Harrison makes it perfectly ap- parent that the Northeastern Ph- tocracy will make no concessions and consent to no compromises Having complete control of all de- partmentS of the government. it might have presented tariff bill providing for q gradual reduction of taxation to revenue basis. This would have settled the controversy and left the capitalists of the North east the financial control of the mar ket. But instead of doing this. they have been so flushed with the inso- lcnce of their purchased victory that they insist on heavy increase in tariff taxes on all manufactured goods throughout the entire list. Democratic attempt at , per cent. reduction is answered with a , per cent. increase.
 The Democratic party accepts the issue. It is no longer question of percentage. The tariff must come to revenue basis. The Plutocracv must be ovcrthrown and the com munism of capital crushed. The control of money and supply which has been so outrageously abused by the capitalistic class of the Northeast must be taken from them
 The whole course of legislation in this Congress has been an insult to American intelligence and love of liberty. With it's tools in the chair of the House and of the House Ways and Means Committee, the North eastern Plutocracy has recklessly ] squandered the money already in the treasury, with the declared pur- pose of "disposing of the surplus, - to prevent reduction of tariff taxa ton and resultant lower prices of the necessaries of life. Now, in time of drought and threatened scarcity of food, they are ruthcssly ] forcing through their bill to increase tariff taxes and to keep up and in- crease prices of all other necessares of life.
 They are at the same time increas- ing the use price of money to the borrower, and increasing to the work CTS of the country the price of sub sistence, though their whole inhu- ence of money, law, police power and militia force is directed to con trolling labor and keeping down wages.
 These abnormal conditions cannot continue. This unnatural system of industrial slavery must be overthrown and so thoroughly eradicated that it can never repeat itself. The Demo- cratic party is done compromising. If 1t is restored to power it will cut the D per cent. tariff for Plutocratic control squarely in half and give the American people the largest possible measure of individual liberty and commercial reciprocity. It is a question of right against wrong not of lying statistics. The rights of free Americans are taken from them by class of the most insolcnt and purse-proud Plutocrats and Sec tiOnalists who ever cursed a country. These men must stop robbing and eXtorting. If it "disturbs their business to stop taking what they have not earned, they must stop nev- ertheless. They have declined to compound their feIonies of legisla- tiOn; of public and private wrong. They insist that they will keep what they have robbed already and go on robbing at greater rate than ever. They have squared the issue and it will be squarely met. Their control of money and supply will be taken from them and lodged in the west, which they have so long plundered, They have passed their measure for stopping the coinage of silver; they have squandered the surplus and they now have their Plutocratic tar iff bill ready for passage. Let them pass it !-St. Louis Republic.
