Secretary Carlisle and Sugar.

The fact, which is now admitted,
says the World, that Secretary Carlisle
wrote the sugur schedule as it ands
in the bill, will be learned with sur
prise and regret. Secretary Carlisle
has long stood pre-eminent among
those who We're regarded as tariff re-
formers on principle aud who felt all
the antagonism to- tariff-bred trusts
which tile democratic party has been
voicing in its platforms and upon the
stump for dozen years. Yet the
schedule framed by him is complete
surrender to the greediest, most arro-
CANT and most oppressive of all the
trusts, whose corruption-tainted hand
has been imprinted upon all recent
legislation affecting its interests.
Secretary Carsisle's course in this
matter is peculiarly unfortunate. 1t
not only places him in the position of
being a backs.ider from the democrat
ic faith and doctrine, but his position
as Secretary of the Treasury and Off
cial adviser of the President on all
matters of taxation and fiscal policy
compromises the administration ia q
matter Of vital Importance. Attorney
General Olney's course has already
brought the administration into grave
suspicion in the matter f its relations
to the trusts, to the destruction of
which the democratic party spledged.
Now that Secretary Carlisle, presumed
to express the views Of the admins
tration, has gone out of his way to aid
in mutilating the tariff bill so as to
give the sugar trust renewed license
to rob the people, it is pertinent to ask
what is left of democratic policy and
who is standing up for it?

{ The Story Of NJ Dictatorship. 2

The unsettled condition Of labor is
increasing the sale of all single tax
publications The works of Henry
George are now more than ever being
translated into every language and
the sale of his works in this country
are increasing at wonderful rate.
The newest book for the propaganda
Of the single tax idea is one entitled
1.-THE Story of Ny Dictatorship" The
author prefers to conceal his identity,
but is prominent EnglishmaD, and
and the book has an American pre-
face by William Lloyd Garrison. The
story is written in the form of an al
legory and is intended to answer every
objection to the single tax theory th t
can be urged.
A party are out for pleasure trip
so dreams the author, and begins dis
cussing the formation of an ideal
democratic republic, and as usual in
such discussions the disputants pay
more attention to their points of dis
agreement than to those on which
they agree, and as the former are
more and more accumulated the latter
are more and more overlooked. FL
nally, however, a parliament is form"
ed and a constitution adopted. The
constitution is very brief and its words
familiar. 1t is as follows:
Every individual to have equal and inalien-
able rights to life, liberty aud the pursuits of
happiness.
Brief simple and familiar as it is,
in attempting to put the constitution
in operation great difficulties arise,
and it is seen that its spirit is little I'M
derstood, and the republic is about
ending in chaos when the author is
made Dictatoru with absolute pow
er to put it in force, and in doing so
Populations after populations, repre-
senting every class of citizens from
landlord to peasant, and every trade
and business organization, visit him
and make known their objections to
the new system, but all objections are
overcome as the system is understood,
and the republic is founded, AMI in
carrying out thes spirit of the consti-
tuition, which guarantees the right
to life' the essence of the single tax,
it necessarily follows. The conditions
change, poverty disappears, and hap
piness and eontentment are ushered
in.
The price of the book is SOC. but we
can arrange to secure it for Banner
subscribers, both old and new, for Toe
a copy sent postage paid.

Saturday, x-Governor +. p. Stan
ton, who resided at Stanton, Lake
Weir, was stricken with paralysis,
| Lingering until Tuesday morning,
when he peacefully passed away.
His remains were inferred IN the
South Lake Weir cemetery, Rev. Mr..
Stein officiating.
The presence Of everybody on the
south side of the lake, at the funeral,
showed the great esteem and respect
in which he was held by neighbors and
friends.
Gov. Stanton was q man among
men, as the world estimates the capac-
iIy, power and influence of its fellows.
His was a long and eventful life,
reaching the grand old age of eighty.
Much Of it passed in the public service,
being governor of Kansas in 1858, dur
ing President James Buchanan's adj
ministration, and in the troubled
times that brought sbleeding'' Kans-
as into statehood.
Previous to his coming to Lake
Weir he resided in Virginia, near
Washington, where he pursued his
profession, and was deemed one Of the
most learned and able attorneys that
ever practiced before the supreme
court of the nation.
Some eight years ago his health
compelled him to seek the genial air
of Florida, and on beautiful Lake
Weir, where communing with his fa-
yorite authors, and in pleasant inter-
course with neighloss he passed the
declining years of his life in restful
ease and comfort, conscious of the
fact that he had lived a pure, unself-
ish and useful existence.
The. deceased was an uncle of F.
Stanton Perrin, former resident of
Lake Weir, and county commissioner
of Marion, but now living in New
York city.
Gov. Stanton was a wid6wer, a son
in Virginia survives him. A good
man has gone to his rest. Peace to
ashes.
BIOGRAPHY.

the District of Columbia; as boy,
worked with his father at the brick

sentative in Congress from Tennessee
from 1916 to 1855; was appointed gov
ernor of the Territory of Kansas in

The Press.


If the press of the country was ac-
tually free, really and truly independ-
ent, wrong could not exist in this
land bribery and corruption would
fear to ply their trade and political
and religious evils would be exposed
and condemned. We're there honest
men behind every paper, men who
would not sell their thoughts, then
would the press be the leader of opin-
ion, the truth would be published and
justice would prevail. Wendell Phil
lips said
II is parent, school, college, pulpit theatre ex-
ample, counselor, all in one. Every drop of our
blood is colored by IT, Let me make the news
papers, and care not who makes the religion or
the laws.
Every word OF Unat is true. The
newspapers are a mightier force of
civilization than the churches or the
courts. What the paper condemns
the pulpit must abandon and the law
punish. If the press be not free its
power is gone. 1t is then the tool of
the tyrant, the servant Of the oppres-
sor, the apologist of the scoundrel.
Sheridan, the great English orator,
said:
Give me but the liberty Of the press. and Will
give to the minister venal house Of pesrs-I
will give him corrupt aud servile house Of com
mons--T viii give him the full sway Of the pat
ronage of ofhce--I viii give him the whole host
of ministerial influence will give him all the
power that place can confer upon him to pur-
chase up submissions and overawe resistance
and yet armed with the liberty Of the press. L
will go forth to meet him undismayed--I viii at
tack the mighty fabric he has reared with that
mightier engineI viii choke down from its
height corruption. and bury it amidst the ruins
Of the abuses it was meant 10 shelter
With hisonesword- 1.-The free press
every villainy may be slain, every
treachery disarmed, and every noble
thing killed. And more than this,
every noble thing would be encouraged
every right thing upheld and every
true thing honored.
Make the press free if yoa would
have wrong overthrown and right
prevail

Another paper which Is supporting the same
cause Is the 0cala Banner. whose editor is the
Hon. F. X. Harris. MIR. Harris has been so

long, that he cannot complain If we expect him
az any time to appear in new character on the

This Is an old thread-bare, hand-me-
down argument that is used against
the editor Of the Banner as dernier
resort by his vaqauished victims
when pushed to the walls and every
argument has been exhausted. 1t is a
signal for the hosting of the white
nag. The fact that the editor of the

long time In one place and enjoys the
confidence and commands the respect
Of his party associates, ought to be a
