NERSPAPER MENDACtTY.

The mendacity of a certain class
of newspapers that come to our desk
is quite astounding. The Topeka
Capital leads the van in this respect.
The Kansas City Journal did for a
time deserve respect for its reason
ableness. But lately it has dropped
into the wake of the Capital. It's re-
cent leaders on the indianapolis con
ference are characteristic. GA bag
of cats" "The cloven foot" etc
Why has not some of these great (?)
dailies given ns a complete table of
the votes cast In the late electionp
Because it would belle their previous
statements as to the crushing defeat
of tie peoples party. The first COM
plete table was published in the
Advocate. The fact is that with a
loss of about $4,000 in totals of votes
cast, the peoples party had made a
net gain of about 10 per cent. The
mendacity of the partisan speakers
is also noticeable. Here is the argu-
ment of Senator Plumb: "Tbe peo-
Plies party is no party nor will it be.
But granting them to be a party,
they are the party of obstruction.
They seek the destruction of the re-
publican party. They are the cor
rupt element of both old parties
They represent that Lincoln, Grant
and Stanton were engaged in a vile
conspiracy. They are repudiationists
They would decrease the pensioners
allowance They are dishonest"
The mendacity of Secretary Foster
in his campaign report of the per
capita circulation since 1860 is an
other case in point. That report
makes it appear that for the last de-
cade there has been more money per
capita in circulation than at any time
since 1860. This statement is a most
outrageous falsehood, and is dis
proven by the reports of former sec
retaries of the treasury, as well as by
large volume of financial legistion.
Acts of congress disproye it rs vel
as the downward scale of prices OF
commodities. The merest tyro knows
its falsity.

hear a great deal about the increase
of the wealth of this country in the
last quarter of a century. But where
is that accumulation lodged? With
miilionaires. Give us less wealth
and grande ur and more personal
liberty.
No unbia sed person can read the
history of the last quarter of cen
tury and not see the tendency we
have indicated, and existing in an
alarming degree. The protective
tariff and other forms of class legisla-
ton is responsible for this condition
of things.
We cannot do better than close
tire argument with the words of the
martYred Lincoln: GAS q result of
the war corporations have been en-
threned, and an era of corruption in
high places will follow, and the
money power of the country will
seek to prolong its reign by working
upon the prejudices of the people
until all the wealth is aggregated in
the hands of the few, and he republic
destroyed"

THE TARIEE

Recent debates have brought out
that the only infant industries In the
United States are tin, silk, plush,
pearl buttons and corsets manufac-
lures. We are getting pretty well
on our feet. The proprietor of a
leading steel and iron manufacture
located at Pittsburg, Pa, told us in
1874 that the firm made and sold
spades, hoes, shovels. ETC., in London
markets and could under sell them.
IF this is the case all such indus-
teries ought to be able to take care of
themselves. The infant INDUSTRIES
of this country do not amount to
more than Is per dent of the whole.
James G. Blaine is the great
apostle of reciprocity. 1t is, per
Sc, reciprocal free trade. 1t is the
switch from the protective tariff to
the free trade main line. In other
words one of the great leaders of the
republican party is advocating sys-
tenn of graduated free trade, while
another, Mckinley, is advocating a
high protective tariff.
Is Blaine and Mckinley at logger
heads on the tariff? Not at all.
they are the right and left bower of
monopoly. Carnegie and others were
heard by the committee on WAYS and
means, while the law was pending,
and they advocated "free raw ma
terial."
Protect American manufacturers,
and allow them to realize the advance
in price in which the tariff brings,
allow them to import foreign labor
free. and when they are strong and
established take 6swn the bars. This
is the reciprocity idea."
Now it is worthy of remark that
the older manufacturers, when they
have become wealthy and thoroughly
established, are asking for "free raw
material" In other words, tax the
consumer, the fIrmer for instance, to
build up corporate Industries, and
when they are built give them free
raw material; let in the hides and
wool of the world, Australia, So nth
America and Africa to compete with
the hides and wool of the American
farmer. This is the legitimate re.
suit of the protective tariff system.
It builds up one interest to the
detriment and expense of another,
and taxes one class to make wealthy
and powerful another, and makes one
section dependent and tributary to
another.
This system fosters and builds up
sectionelism. 1t alienates the west
from the east. the south from the
north, and was one of the causes of
the late unpleasantness. Even now
everything has to go east to be manu-
featured and be transported back
west to the consumer, causing double
freight tariffs to be paid by the con
sumner. The west * getting tired OF
this thing
Another objection to the protective
tariff system is that it concentrates
and aggregates the wealth of the
country in the hands Of the few. We

An instance Of a soldiers devotion to a

memories of those who were mostly con-
cerned, last Monday night.

lay soldier of Company B. One Hundred
and Twenty-third Pennsylvania Regiment.
The terrible repulse of the Union troops was
accomplished, and they recrossed the Rap
pahannock, torn and shattered. 1t was
about or 4 o'clock. This soldier of Com
pany B was terribly wounded in the leg and
could not move. There he Law. fully conscious,
through the long. weary hours. The san went
down on the CHASTITY scene, and the soldiers
hopes fed fast. He was bleeding to death.
Would help ever come to him? He had
become weary of watching the dark figures
moving among the dead and wounded for a
familiar face. 1t was nearly midnight. The
soldier had resigned himself to die. Suddenly
familiar form appeared in the darkness. The
wounded man hardly dared trust his eyes.

"Thank God. Dave have found you" was the
response, and the rescuer carried his friend
from the field into the friendly lines and to
medical aid.
The story was told by Comrade John w.
Moreland, of Post Isl, at the open meeting of
Post 545 last Monday evening. The wounded
soldier was Conn ade David Morrison, of Post
rs and his rescuer. Comrade Samuel Warden,
of Post 545. Both belonged to the same regi-
ment and company. AS Comrade Moreland
finished he handed to Comrade Warden a
beautifully engraved gold Past Commander's
badge, the gift of Comrade Morrison and the
members of Post 545. Both the comrades were
much affected as the story was told.
The open meeting was an enjoyable one.
There were recitstions. songs and speeches.

rade John Reid. of Post 545. made an excellent
