Rock County Herald: "One of the
chief reasons why unworthy men get
into Office is because those who owe it
to themselves and to the common well
fare to interest themselves in such
matters, neglect to attend the primar
les. In too many cases only those who
have personal interests to serve attend
the caucuses, and as a result very lit
tie public sentiment is expressed in
the nomination of candidates. But in
too many cases there is no public SEN
timent to express. The people have
no thought nor care about the matter
and results are shaped by few inter
ested parties who take the trouble to
work out these results. In such cases
none but the people themselves are to
blame if the results are not what they
should be. In this, as in most other
counties in the state, the Republican
party is largely made up of farmers
and can be absolutely controlled by
them. They have it in their power to
choose such representatives as they
wish, make such nominations as they
desire, and dictate the policy and &C
tions of the party.

Doubtless the trainers of this gov

cry four years, instead of at longer in

dental campaigns are not an unmixed
good, but with all their faults, they
afford about the only course in polite
al economy and the science of govern
ment that the great majority of Amer
lean citizens can afford to take. The
people sit in judgment on all political
policies and parties, hear all sides,and
make up their verdict. They are bound
to hear much false swearing and spe-

that citizen who listens to the advo-

One of the fallacies which alliance
orators frequently parade, is that the
government loans money to national
banks. AS an able financial writer
says in the N. Y. Tribune, government
"does nothing of the kind. 1t meyer
has done it; it never ought to do it.
If law should be passed tomorrow,
permitting every farmer in the United
States to deposit bonds and receive
blank bills on precisely the same con-
ditions that such blank bills are fur
nished to the banks for issue, such a
law would not aid the farmer one par
ticle. If he had bonds to deposit as
collateral, he could get the money at
any bank" Otherwise, why is it that
such conservative authority as the Al
bany Evening journal should state as
known fact that national bank circu-
lation is no longer profitable, and
hence that it is rapidly disappearing
and that the people demand that
something be put in its place. If "loan-
ing" money from the government I'M
der the national banking act is such a
snap as the alliance cartoon represents
it sc, 500 year on every $4,000 in
vested, is the chorus of the National
Bank act"-if this cartoon has truth
full basis, will the institute instructors
explain why national bank circulation
is rapidly decreasing, for the alleged
reason that it is Improbable to the
banks' Will they also explain why
more national banks are not now be-
ing established by the 'plutocrats'"
