A word About the People,s Party.

Word About the Peoples Party.
Ed. DEMOCRATIC PREss-SIR I continually see
the Peoples Party so maligned by the old-tim
newspapers. that with your leave. will lift my
humble voice to explain why several honest men
in this neighborhood intend to vote that ticket.
Because you are Democrat and therefore a
free trader. will confdingly admit in the be-
ginning, to win your appreciation. that free trade
is great issue. Taking the protectionist on his
own ground. and assuming that our working
classes are saved from poverty by his tariff am,
as another has said. more interested in my
prosperous ~ working neighbor. next door. than
am in starving German over the sea. I do
not want to starve either one for the sake of the
other.
| But ask myself why this starving goes on at
all, and then see what side issue this of pro-
lection and free trade is For I notice that in
protected countries the masses are in poverty
and they are likewise destitute in countries that
nearest approach free trade. The wages of work.
| ing girls are cut and rich manufacturers grow
richer in all lands alike. So brush aside such
light questions as the tariff. and say to the par
ties. set your minds to better distribution OF
wealth protect the poor from being stolen from
and starved by the rich; do not play politics.
but do some good with your politics" And when
I say these things. they think of the campaign
fund, and consider me demented.
So I turn to the Peoples Party. for I do not
care in the least about campaign funds. or legis-
lation to please and enrich the rich or play pol
itics. The party may be crude. but time
will cure that. 1t is in earnest.and has that
this is land of sham freedom and sham equali
ty for there is no freedom and equality for the
poor in competition with the rich. The Peoples
movement is the first of a series of political eff
forts that will finally distribute wealth more
equally. No one should have lavish wealth un-
less all can have it. The man who has not mon
ey stands no show against the man who has it
because money makes money. and is power
Hence the poor are not equal to the rich.
Righting this matter is the true issue today
Mr. Editor, and I am surprised that the intelli
gent Republican party. which is SO in love will
the working man. does not take it up. 1 an
afraid they want offices and monopoly income
more than justice. and for some time have ha
grave and saddening misgivings that the Demo

What a Leading Republican Paper Has
to Say On the "Tin-Piate" Fraud.

The Pittsburgh Leader, leading re-
publican paper, says:
Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, after allow
ing Mai. Mckinley a considerable pc
riod in which to make the atmosphere
of the Buckeye state lurid with argu-
ments in favor of protection, form
ally entered the lists yesterday and
proved himself no mean competitor for
the eloquent exponent of high tariff
As Mckinley has been devoting his at
tention largely to the championing OF
the American tin-plate industry as an
accomplished fact and a promising fac
tor in the industrial development OF the
country, Campbell proceeds to meet
this issue directly and in terms too de-
cisive to be met with mere assertions,
unattested by positive proofs. The fol
lowing is extracted from Campoells $
address at Sidney yesterday:
1.-The former duty on tin plate was l
cent. per pound; the new tariff in
creases it to 2 2-10 cents per pound No
tin plate was made in this country
then, and none is made now, except Tor
political effect, and at greatly en-
HANGED cost The tin badge which you
see at political meetings is made from
imported iron, dipped in imported tin
by imported workmen. The only thing
about it which is American is the
easily gulled citizen who wears it.
The truth of the above is nowhere
more apparent than here in Pitts burgh,
where the tin plate boom was long
studiously nurtured, and yet where the
fruits of that gigantic fiction are to-day
conspicuous, so to speak, by their pitia-
| BILE insignificance. We have heard a
vast deal about the factories that were
to spring into being in western Penn
| svlvania when the tin plate clause IL
the Mckinley bill became operative
Where are those factories? Where il
their extensive product? Where are
the armies of American workmen thai
they were to employ at high wages;
Not visible to the naked eye, so far az
the Leader is able to ascertain, nor car
we discover any evidence of their oper
ations aside from the occasional trl
umphant exhibition of small samples O.
metal, alleged to be of home produc
| tion, and the oratorical fctions in which
Mckinley and his ieutenants indulg'
on this subject.
Gov. Campbell strikes home, and w
Pittsburgers know full well that h
strikes home. when he declares that tn
infant tin-plate industry has no
taken a legitimate step toward maturit.
since the new duty on tin-plate wen
4 into effect.
4 The alleged American tin-plate badg
is being exploited largely at McKinle
meetings. In Difference to the intell
gence of Pittsburgh republicans its uti
ization for campaign purposes shoul
be avoided here. This community ha
the evidence of it's senses that tn
vaunted new industry is a mere poll
ical .efalxe,n and hence lis a matter {
regret to Mckinley sympathizers her
that a statesman of McKinley's gres
ability should persist in standing upo
so fimsy platform.

A Word to Farmers.

The Chillicothe Advertiser thus forci-
bly, puts the case:
The farmer who votes the democratic
ticket this fall will do the correct thing
for himself and for his cause. This is
the only logical and proper view of the
true condition of our political affairs
To vote for Mckinley is to sanction
and maintain a burdensome war tax in
time of peace, for the sole benefit of
special classes and monopolists, who
keep up this exorbitant and unneces-
sary taxation and control legislation IN
their favor by means of princely con-
tributions to campaign funds, drawn
from their enormous profits. The
monopolists can afford to contribute
millions, a small per cent of their
earnings, to keep such agents as Nc
Kinley and Sherman in places of pow
er and influence. The farmer can't t
make such munifcent contributions
for such purpose, his earnings will
not stand such draft, but he can vote
the democratic ticket, this year, and
overthrow Mckinley and McKinleyism
in Ohio as was done in the other states
last year The overthrow of McKin-
leyism in Ohio this fall means the
speedy iberating of the people from
high tariff robbery.

"When Thieves Fall Out, Etc. :

Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire,
replying to the charge of his colleague,
Senator Gallinger, who charged him
with buying his seat in the senate,
says:
ssGallinger charges me with having
bought my seat in the senate, and
there's the cloud on my title to SEN
atorship. Everybody knows that we
stole the legislature from the demo-
Gratis last January, and that if we
hadn't democrat would have been
elected senator and not Gallinger.
There's the cloud on Gallinger's title.
Honors are about even reckon"
You are both right Chandler bought
his seat, and the republicans stole the
legislature last winter. One is tar and
the other is pitch.

RenubIican Press in a Huff.

The democrats of Nebraska seem to
know where their bountiful crops come
from, for in the preamble to the resolu-
tions adopted by the state convention,
they return thanks to God for the graz
cious seasons and the rich, full harvests
which have been given them. All the
republican papers of that state are in a
huff and look upon the action of the
democratic convention in giving thanks
to God as direct slap at their insolent
pretensions.

Every town naturally has its own spec
ial interests as a separate corporation.
Town politics is the original prime fac
tor of our republican system of govern
ment. Caucuses are the initial steps tow
ard the choice of our rulers; and our vot-
ing places are the fountain heads of offic-
ial authority ard power.
The civil service of township in
wolves the same principles as that of the
State and the nation; and the free and
open discussion of all the great questions
of society, relating to religion, education,
government, domestic and political econ
omy, health, business, etc., as of practi-
cal application to the community itself,
at home, the town, the neighborhood,
the family and the individual even, pro-
viding it be well done, cannot fail to be
interesting and useful.
A corporate life, in order to give the
largest and happiest social relations,
must also be community life.
Happy is the town that has center to
it; town hall and town library, and a
common community and unity of inter-
ests.
The town is legal unit; but the COM
munity is a social unit, which is infinite
ly more and better.
A corporate life, in order to give the
largest and happiest social relations,
must also be a community life. People
need to look at the common questions
concerning the welfare of the town from
some common point of view
Wherever man lives, he should count
himself as in some sense factor of soci-
ETY., helping to make it what it is.
When one votes, he is factor of the
government and, in some degree, respon-
sible for the civil service and social order
of the town.
Every one is affected more or less by
the condition of the highways and
bridges, even though he owns no land
and travels on foot, or accepts ride
from some kind neighbor.
If one has children, he is concerned for
the household and public education of
the community around him.
Every mans trade or profession de-
ponds upon the social and business pros
perity of his fellow men in general.
Hence we can but do ourselves good by
taking kindly personal interest in all
the common good of our common hui
manity.-[ Maxim.
