SHOULD INTEREST BE ABOLIsHmR

To the above question | would answer
yes, for various reasons.
In the first place the bible Is against it,
which will be shown further on.
In the second place no one would be
injured by doing away with interest,
while there are very few, If any, who
would not be greatly benefited, either
directly or indirectly.
Did / say no one would be iDjuredS
Of course the man who draws the inter
cot from the people as blood sucker
draws the life giving element from his
victim, would lose his occupation, but
why should we consider his welfare In
discussing this subjectH Does the pro-
hibltlonIst consider the interests OF the
saloon keeper, Wholesale liquor dealer or
manufacturer, when he attempts to over
throw their business? Not at all. The
usurer, one who gains his wealth by in
crease or interest on money; the land
lord, one who gaines riches by collecting
E0ll Of his fellow men for allowing them
to live on q small tract Of Gods earth;
and the liquor vender, one who draws
his wealth from the brains as well as the
muscles Of his victims; are standing in
the way Of the car Of progress, are all
blemishes on the body polite and must
be pruned off and exterminated before
society reaches the summit to which II Is
destined.
Now please do not call me dynamiter,
and say / advocate DISCRIMINATING" them
by blowing them up; I mean extermi
nate the business, il it can be called by
30 respectable a name, and If possible
transform the men into good and useful
citizens. Some well meaning people are
amazed at the Idea Of calling interest
usury, and seem 10 thing any one who
will say It ought to be stopped is either
y fool or q kn&ve; and in defense Of their
position will tell you that many people
In the east both men and women, who
have saved a few hundred dollars from
q life OF industry, have now their only
support in the interest which that money
brings.
This is indeed unfortunate for them,
or would be if the interest should cease,
but under one false system Of business,
"every one for himself and the devil take
the hindermost," ," many things have grown
TO be common, and q part OF the ma
chinery Of business, which are detrl-
mental to the best interests Of nearly all
the people; still from the fact Of their
being 90 common they have been looked
upon as government fixtures and have so
woven themselves into the thread Of life
that many apparently good people have
been caught In the tangle.
If you will notice, these conservative
people who advance such argument al
most invariably refer to those old men
OK widows as being In the east. / will
mention q well known fact In the history
Of our country which to my mind pre-
sents q parallel case. Before the late
war there were many apparently well
disposed persons, this time In the south
who had reached q time In life when they
were not able to work for living, but
had invested the savings of life Of in
dustry In few slaves from whose labor

the delegates. "Our people are not any
too strong for either Blaine or Harrison,
but they prefer Harrison to Blaine, ,espe-
cially after that letter of resignation.
The resignation hurt both. Those letters
were brutal. They showed bad blood.
Our delegates have no use for men who
cannot belong to the same political
party and be candidates for the same
office without getting mad like couple
of boys. Put the resignation operates
against Blaine more than against Harri-
son. Mckinley can get number of
votes in our delegation. l think that
after one ballot has been taken without

will go to Mckinley. We. want can

]. S. Clarkson will continue to repre-
sent Iowa on the Republican national
committee. whether he remains chair
man of that great body or not. The
man who as official leader of the national
party organization commanded the sue
ceSSful forces in the presidential battle
for Harrison in 1888, though now ranked
with the chieT of the presidents aYowed
opposerS, came out of the first meeting
of the Iowa delegation with flying col
OrS. The delegates from Iowa, when
they got together. counted noses close
~, and the result confirmed the state
meDtS that the Harrison. men were IN
control by a proportion OF to against
Blaine.
Clarkson'S personal strength with the
delegation. however, was soon demon
strated. Mr.. CIarksen came into the
meeting in person, and instantly the ru-
mOrS of hostile reception to him were
shown to be without foundation. Inc
heartineSS of the cheering and hand
shaking that greeted him on all SIDES
left no doubt that ClarkSon could have
almost anything he wanted from Iowa
except votes for Blaine,- and that
whether ClarkSon wanted it or not the
delegation were determined to honor
him all in their power.
For chairman of the Iowa delegation,
E. E. Mack, a straight-out Harrison
man, was chosen without opposition.
Tnen Mr.. ClarkSon's turn came. His
selection as the Iowa member of the ma
tiOnal committee was made unanimously
and by a rising vote. EX-Gov. j. II.
Gear was made Iowa member OF the
committee oD resolutions, G. Ii. Curtis
on the committee on permanent organ
izatiOn, and Frank W. SimOnS on the
committee OH credentials. During the
meeting the Iowa Republican club
marched into town, and, being brought
to the Iowa headquarters, filed through
the handsomely decorated apartment
while the proceedings of the delegates
were halted. Mr.. ClarkSon and Delegate
Horace made brief. stirring addresses.

4 Judge Goudy, of Indiana, took up the
personal disappointhent'' side OF the
presidential fight yesterday in. his dis
cusslon of convention quarreling.
Es 'fThe Blaine managers said Judge
Goudy, ''haye been trying to make
strong point by saying that nobody is
for Harrison except he is an OficehOlder.
: I do not admit that such is the ease, but
admit it for the sake of the argument.
FIT be true that the offieeholderS are
the men who are supporting Harrison.
does it not become a contest between
the men who are in and the men who
wanted to be III, but couldn't find the
door? Mr.. HarriSon'S strongest opposi-
tion came from Platt at the start. Platt
could not dictate everything to the pres
ident. He could not get into the cabi-,
net in the first place, where he wanted
to be. Then he had some difficulty in
the places he thought should be theirs.
There is one man who is opposed to the
president because he could not get in.
Matt Quay is another. Quay was
Harrison man until he came to point
where the president would not obey his
beck and call. Then he began casting
around for another candidate. So much
for him. la | et.} .-,-s~s
1.-THE California delegation is one of
the most Outspoken in opposition to
Harrison: that is, one wing of it, for we
have some votes in the California dele
CATION. California wanted a cabinet
position. M. 81. De Young was the man
who was after the place. California
did not get it, and there is more opposi-
tiOn accounted for.
''It is unnecessary to go into detail
with regard to CIarkson. He Was in
office for a time under,-the president.
There is popular impression that he
left because he wanted to go higher and
could not.
Il could go on that way all day. But
| have said enough to Indicate whence
comes the most of the opposition to
Harrison. Of course, there are men
who are supporting Blaine because they
like him. But they are not the men who
have pushed his candidacy to the front
and made the contest an open fight"

in a temper, and William Henry Eustis
at once sought consolation in the Blaine

Senator Sawyer be chosen in his stead,
and committee consisting of Messrs.
Payne, Turner and Reid was appointed
to request the senator to accept the po-
sition, the report to be made to the dele
egatiOn at 10 o'clock tomorrow.
A poll of the delegation showed II
votes for Harrison, for Blaine and 2
for Mckinley; one delegate was absent.
His colleague voted for Harrison, and it
is supposed that the absent ufember
will vote the same way, giving the pros
ident is. This is quite gain for the
president over the claims made by the
Blaine men.
