Fighting an Imaginary Devil

For honest temperance men who
conscientiously believe intemperance
to exist in our state to an alarming
extent, and who proclaim it as the
cause of all the ignorance, poverty
and wretchedness of the people we
have sincere respect. The editor OF
the Mitchell Temperance Power be-
longs not to thisc lass, and in his paper
proclaims himself more knave than
fool. in fighting what he says does
not exist.
The moneyed class can well afford
to give him and his like a liberal sup
port, whether it does or not, because
all his labors tend to divert public
attention from. the most potent engine
for the concentration of wealth in
the hands of the few and to the detri-
ment of the many, ever invented by
wicked rulers.
The national banks as shown by
the report Of the controller Of the
currency on page 1914 on the I'd
of October 1890. reported a surplus
Of 1861, 617, .67. and with this evidence
OF the increase of wealth in the pos
session of the few and the decay oil
men the Temperance Power looks on
with stolid Indifference. But let III
see what this surplus represents
Section 80 of Chapter LOG, of the act
of March 3, 1865 providing for ma.
tional bank currency requires the
banks to carry one-tenth of their net
profits to their surplus fund, hence
multiplying the surplus by ten, shows
the real profits which have accrued
to these institutions without one dol
lar of benefit to the public.
Given the control of the circulating
medium of the country they car
establish prices upon property and
the products of labor every where

A Grand Excursion.

Tacoma has made big bid for the
next Democratic National Convention.
Mr.. Lane OF the Tacoma News is in New
York, arranging the plans for a gigantic
excursion of the members OF that body
from all parts OF the Union. 1t is pro-
posed to collect the delegates from all
other States on four solid trains of sleep
ers. One train is to start from Portland,
one from New York, one from Washing
ton and one from Florida. Every par: OF
the country will thus be traversed, the
southern train running westward to Texas
and then up through California and along
the coast.
A committee of Tacoma Democrats on
each train will take charge Of the dele
gates. who will not be allowed to spend
cent from the moment they get on the
train. In Tacoma, where G. B. Wright
is building a 100000 hotel, the dele
gates will continue to be guests of the
Democrats of Washington. Their vel
come will be like that offered in the far
east, and will consist of the words: "This
house is yours" After the convention
the visitors viii be returned home by
special or allowed to take their choice OF
routes, and without expense.
fit is proposed that the citizens OF
Tacoma raise the sum of $4,000 to carry
out this scheme, and there seems to be
no difficulty in providing the funds, for
it would be worth, as an advertisement,
ten times the cost. The only obstacle we
discover is The acceptance OF a free ride
by representative men who are able to
pay their own way. Look at the matter
as we will, it seems to be simply bust
scheme, in which one of the great party
conventions is to be made the lay-fgure.
