DERI2IICT IN ITS FIRST DUTY

DER2luCT In LIS flhSI DOI Z.
The national conference of the
Peoples party held in Cincinnati
last week ignores the tariff question
entirely. The platform contains not
q single word on that subject.
The deliberate failure or refusal of
the conference to declare its policy
on this question is directly contradic-
tory of the pretensions of the pro-
iectors of the new party that 1t is
being organized in the interest of the
people. In every government the
subject of taxation is perpetuaIIy the
most important of all public ques-
tons. Likewise the second subject
in Importance is money. Upon this
question the conference adopted the
Democratic platform. But upon the
tariff, which will be the chief issue
in the next national election, the
conference lacked either the courage
or the honesty to take position.
Ascribe the failure to do this to eth
er of these causes, and the party is
unworthy the confidence and the
support of the people. Any party
to succeed, or deserve success, must
be honest, brave and candid. 1t
must have sound principles. Its
sole purpose must be the perpetual
ton of good government. 1t must
have the courage to take position,
promptly and without equivocation,
on every public question. And it
must candidly proclaim its views and
purposes to the world. There must
be no equivocation, no evasion, no
deception, no temporizing with dere-
LECTION, no compromise with corrup-
ton or corrupt tendencies, no pan
dering to power or influence, no
cowardice.
There never has been a day in the
history of this republic when the bur
den of national taxation bore as
heavily upon the people as it does at
the present time. For years the
Democratic party has been battling
heroieally, not only to prevent any
increase in this taxation, but also to
reduce it. With equal constancy
and determination, the Republican
party has been employing all the
force and strategy its skillful leaders
and deluded followers could marshal,
not only to perpetuate this high tax,
but actually to increase it, because it
is an artfully concealed scheme which
enriches their classes, without arous-
ing the wrath of the masses.
All this is not better known by
anybody than the leaders of the late
self-styled peoples conference. But
the fight is hard one-a large ma
jerity of the people are on one side,
and the "protected' monopolies on
the other-and to the conference"
the result may have appeared doubt
full, with consequent danger to the
young party of casting its fortunes
on the losing side. Or it may have
been that the controlling spirits of
the conference are at heart on the
side of the monopolics. Who can
tell? Anyway, the conference failed
to take position on this most impor-
tant Of all important pending ques-
ton, and thereby proved itself dere
lict in its first great duty, and une-
quail to its first great responsibility.

The friends and admirers Of Mr..
Bush boast that any Democrat who
has the temerity to meet him on the
stump will discover that he is from

Bitter Creek. In view of what we

we are not disposed to dispute this.

enough to allow himself to be drawn
into the race for Congress next year,

with such old-timers as Brothers

The platform adopted by the con-
vention of the Peoples party, held
in Cincinnati last week, contains a
plank which demands that the Presi-
dent shall be elected by the direct or
popular vote of the people. The
convention probably got this idea
from the late Democratic Legislature
of Arkansas, which adopted memo
rial to Congress for the submission of
an amendment to the Federal Con-
sttution to provide for the election
of United States Senators and the
President and Nice-P President by the
direct or popular vote. As soon as
the Peoples party can get enough

committee of the Twin City Topographic

trict organizer. After friendly discus
sion of the present scale and the rates
proposed for composition, during which
mutual concessions were made, the rates
were finally fixed at % cents per thou
sand ems on evening papers and SO cents
on the morning papers requiring night
work. While 1t is conceded that the adj
vance is equivalent to 10 per cent all
around, this does not apply to the ARGUS,
whose publisher had some time since
voluntarily advanced the price per thou
sand ems to 273 cents with the stioula-
ton of waiVing rings, and the new scale
therefore provides for but half cent more

But on Feb. l, the syndicate failed to
come to time, and the $25. 600 was for>
feited to the company. The syndicate
asked the company to pay back this $25.
600, but no good reason could be seen
why it should be done.
Previous to Feb. /, one of the largest
stockholders in the company decided that
the plant was worth more than the price
hxed. and he notified the syndicate that
he would refuse to deliver his stock-a
notification which probably amounted to
but little in law, inssmuch as he and the
other stockholders had signed contrac,
to sell on the terms and conditions stated
above.

Duty-spite of the Morning Paper
Against The Argus.

To Howard Wells, Postmaster OF Rock island
Inc undersigned do hereby withdraw
the charge that we have heretofore made
against Henry Burris, letter carrier for
the stealing of q silver dollar from the
ONCE OF E. G. Frazer in the CITY of
Koek Island. in the state of Illinois on
req. %, 1891, belonging to the under.
signed, 4. b. McKown. We do this be-
neving In the integrity and honesty of
Mr.. burris. and we accept his denisls as
1ull evidence TO US of his innocence of
said charge. We have returned to Mr..
Burris the dollar left by him at the time
the charge was made.
Dated at Rock Island, Illinois, March
8, 1891. IS. r. McKowN
G. LMBERG.
The above is self explanatory and would
require no comment were it not that the
Union has imagined the occasion one
calling for one of it's lectures of THE
ARGUS. In last nights issue the fact of
Mr.. McKown's complete exoneration of
Burris was extensively set forth; but up
TO the time Of going to press Mr.. Lin
berg had not signed the card appearing
aboYe, but on the other ehand had as
late as 8 o'clock in THE ARGUS
office, positively asserted that he could
not sign it, and expressed his surprise
that McKown had done So Later in the
af.ernoon-too late indeed for announce
ment in the ARGUS of last evening, Post
master Wells telephoned THE ARGUS that
he had received Mr.. Limberg's signature
to the retrac:ion. What influence the
postmaster welded over McKown spd
Limberg to bring about such a remarka.
BILE change OF opinion, THE ARGUS does
not pretend TO know. 1t must be mat
ter of great relief to Burris to know that
he has been so completely vindicated. and
HE ARGUS is as much gratifed as any
one at the knowledge of his exonera,ion.
The Unions accusation that THE AR.
GUS Intentionally did Burris an injury is
utterly false. The ARGUS first learned
OF the charge against Burris late Monday
afternoon, having been advised through q
burg for that purpose aud who voluutar-
lily presented the facts contained in THE
ARGUS. E. B. McKown was at once
communicated with by telephone ami he
acknowledged the assertion of Limburg
but refused to give any facts. Later in
the day, after THE ARGUS was on the
press he called at this office and asked that
the matter be suppressed from that issue.
but it was too late.
1t looks very much as if the Union
had fallen into its old habit of misrep-e-
senting and lying and in its eagerness to
malign and falsify, it has lost track en-
tirely of that incident of few years ago
when it declined to publish a retrac.ion
ofan attack made upon a democratic
mail carrier, when presented with il,
signed by a prominent republican. The
Unions ideas of justice and fairness are
strangely construed to suit the occasion.
