Almost as soon as the canvass of 1888
was over rumors began to circulate that
the election had been bought and that
the gentlemen who collected the money,
as we'll as those who paid it. were de
termined to exact such recompenses as
had been promised them, and the reve-
lations which have occurred from time
to time have strengthened the conviction
in my mind that unhappily there was
only too much truth in these minors.
A prominent manufacturer of this city,
life long repu olican, has quite recently,
over his own signature, spoken of the
Mckinley bill as "our bill, because we
bought and paid for it."

tribute the money for the corruption of
our politics that as between the two
crimes would much rather place money
in the hands of burglar to bribe a
watchman to allow him to rob bank of
some of its surplus wealth than to con-
tribute money to be used in ''politics' by
Mr.. Quay or Mr.. Martin or Mr.. Hacket.
1t does very we'll for the opulent and
self satisfied members Of the Manufact
urers' Club to declare that if these great
bounties are continued to them they will
minister from their surplus wealth u the
needs of the workingman, but, unhappy,
human experience forbids US to trust in
that respect even such estimable and
worthy citizens as they are. So far from
taking care of the workingman, the econ
omic basis of modern society tends con
tinually to diminish the burdens Of the
employer and to increase the burdens Of
the employed.

Labor Not Humbugged.

The knights of Labor in Brooklyn
have not been deceived by the cry of
protection to labor. A local union in
that city has sent the following circular
to other assemblies in that city add in
New York:
DEAR SIR-The attention of your organiza-
ton is called to the fact that the most impor-
tant political issue ever presented to American
wage earners is the tariff question. Local
assembly 1,212, knights of Labor, holds that a
protective tariff robs the many for the benefit
of the few: that it lowers wages and deprives
men of employment, and that 1t is deadly
foe to organized labor.
This assembly offers cash prize of twenty
FIVE dollars to any knight Of Labor or trades
unionist who can prove the contrary, and re-
quests conference with your organization to
arrange for a debate upon the foregoing propo-
sition.

The State Bank Tax.

The project of repeating the present
prohibitory tax of 10 per cent. on the is
sue of state banks is very hopeful
movement in favor of most welcome
change in the financial condition of the
country There need be no fear Of any
liberation of a deprecated bank note cir
culation should this restriction be re-
moved. There is not a state in the
Union which would authorize or allow
it, and if it were attempted anywhere
the facilities for collection are now SO
great that it would be crushed out at
once. The best features of the former
legislation, and the natural law of sup
ply and demand would govern all the
rest of the needed restrictions.
The tax which it is proposed to repeal
is in itself unconstitutional. It is not
levied for revenue, but for prohibition,
and the fundamental law nowhere gives
to the federal congress the right to sup
press by its action the issue of the state
banks. There would follow from its re-
peal the most perfect currency for bust
ness purposes the world has ever known.
Flexible in its character, redeemable at
all central points, and thus always at
PAR throughout every portion of the
country, and meeting the needs of the
hour in its answer to every legitimate
demand, it would prevent pressures and
stringency in the money market, and in
jure no one but the greedy speculator
who makes his cent per cent in a fnan-
cial crisis.-David M. Stone, Editor Of

Bourke Cochran on the Force Bill.

Bourke COCHRAN on the Force Bill.
What is this election bill? Stripped
Of all its verbiage it is this: That the
United States are to appoint in each
state a general supervisor of election;
that the supervisor has complete con-
troll over congressional elections in every
district of the state. He can employ as
many deputies as he chooses. He can
search the houses before election to see
if there are any fraudulent voters there
concealed. But the real danger in this
measure lies in the clause which pro-
vides that after each election these fed
sral officers would certify the return of
the members elected to the house of rep
resentatives. 1t doesn't matter who gets
the votes. 1t doesn't matter who has five
or six or ten thousand majority. The
federal supervisor fixes the identity Of
the individual who attends before the
speakers desk to be sworn in on the day
when congress organizes.
You may say that perhaps the Repub-
hcan party will be honest in the exer-
else Of this power. Well, gentlemen, l
do not believe that there ever yet has
been given to any man or set Of men
power to Cypress his fellow citizens for
his own benefit that the power has not
been exercised, and If you give the Re-
publican party power to perpetuate its
own control in the house of representa-
tives there is nothing in its history to
show that it would exercise that power
in a spirit of moderation. Look at the
history Of the Fifty-frst congress to as
certain just how this power would be
exercised.
am reminded Of the experience Of an
English gentleman travelling through
France during the empire. He was in a
first class compartment and had with
him French official who had several
registers and large urn. The English
man inquired what they were for, and
he said the registers were list Of the
voters, the urn was to receive the bal
lots. He also had large bag with him,
and on being interrogated as to what its
use was replied, ooh, that is the ma
jority."
That is the force bill in brief, just as it
would be in brief here. Its result
would be the emasculation Of repre-
sentative government; it would be the
destruction of representative govern
ment

The building was totally destroyed,
