In the third subdivision OF his state
naent. ne Says. "All interest On public
funds belongs 10 the public, and 10 de-
pnve the public Of tins should be en-
bezzlsnent." To which everybody w,ll
give hearty assent. Bat why should hs
mention tnis unless il was TO imply that
the public has been deprived OF such
interest," and yet he does not mention
any Instance where the public has not
had the benefit of such interest. TINS
IS the attempted trick Of demagogue,
and unworthy the honesty" or a
would-be Attorney General.
In the fourth subdivision of his state
ment he says: 81 believe that all
salaries should be regulated IN proper
non TO other wages aud 20 the condition
of the times. and the extrayagant use
OF state money be sc once stopped" I"
Yes, everybody knows how extrava.
gantly our State officers are paid. % In
so far as the $500 paid annually TO the
Attorney General is concerned, the peo-
pie ase not intending to waste that, and
50 they will elect = competent man for
that position, IN the person Of the pres
ent incumbent.
In the fifth subdivision of his state
ment, he says: al am in favor
of the unlimited and free COIN
age Of silver" Well. make silver
dollars as plenty as potatoes, and they
might be worth nearly as much as po-
tatoes, only you could not eat them.
In the sixth subdivision of his state
ment, be sublimates has wisdom, both
legal and practical. He says: al
believe in u full legal tender money,
issued by the general government, and
the abolition of all national banks"
This would be attorney general is
''chock fulP' of compassion for "the
tillers Of the soil and the laborers IN
the shop" and is so sorely oppressed
with the idea that they are tax-ridden
out "of the fruits of their labor" that
he desires circulating money medium,
which the rich people have the most
of, and which IS not subject to taxation,
and ne would provide no means of get
ting this medium INTO circulation. Ii
the money of the rich does not pay any
taxes, the homesteads of the poor must
help make up the deficiency.
The seventh subdivision of his state
ment reads as follows: 81 fully be-
lieve that one of the great curses of the
American farmer today is the scarcity
OF money, which is controlled by Wall
st. The Government, not the banks,
, should control the money" We fully
believe that demagoguery IS far worse
! than scarcity Of money. AS TO the
Government controlling the money,
| that is the rsnkest kind of paternalism
and centralism.
His eighth subdivision is the very
! ! quaint assertion that the tariff is a
! tax, and he tries to sustain it by com.
bination of other false assertions.
His ninth and tenth subdivisions are
screeds against railroads. and false as
