Mrs. Foster shows that she can in
vestigate little when she states that
morals have DO place in platforms,
meaning, of course, that the republi-
can platform contains no principles
of morally tjustice being its other

principles of the Peoples party plat
form she would find it resplenaent
with gems of brotherly love and JUS
tice, which certainly is morality.

SOME OBSERVATIONS.
BY ALICE .. KELLY.

DR.. Ellis, president of Fort Collins
Agricultural school, told the teachers
at burlington, Colo, that the main
cause of hard times was lack of econ
omy among the workers of course
Capitalists, being of the order
OF parasites, of course, need not econo-
mize). He stated that, although he
was not rich, still he had made up his
mind when he went to work that if
he could have ten years at good wages
he would not be penniless if out of
work for while. During his lecture
he gave 81, 900 year as his idea of
fair wages I suppose he considers it
self-evident fact that the workers of
the United States have had $1,000 per
year for ten years and hence should
have something saved up. Another
statement was Scratch these discon-
tented people-complainers of hard
times--on the back and you will find
under the skin anarchist, and nine
out of every ten socialists or anarch-
lists should be hung to the nearest
lamp post without jury or sympathy"
NO anarchy in that sentiment: of
course not.) Anarchists, according
to republican construction, means
any one who opposes any of the laws
made by the government under which
he lives. If the laws are
bad he must just shut his eyes and
swallow them and say that they are
go d. If our government says it is
right for one set of men to rob the
rest it is anarchy to gainsay it. If
yoH would be free from the taint of
anarchy as defined by our republican
people lovers (?) you must avow in
favor of Russian despotism-against
liberty as proclaimed by Washington,
Jefferson, Patrick Henry and Others,
and as an emblem of which they
raised the stars and stripes in favor of
liberty to the few to trample the
mary. l must say, that for me, l pre-
fer the anarchy of George Washing
ton, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry
and others like them to the patriotism
of John Sherman, Grover Cleveland,
Carlisle, the Tlmes-Sun, Inter Ocean
and their ilk

Increase OF Crime.

That under the capitalistic system
of production and distribution, misery
and poverty of the masses and inn
mense wealth of the few is increasing
is now gradually dawning even upon
the minds of those who uphold and
laud the present system as the height
of civilization. The increase of crime
under this system is appalling. Ac-
cofding to the census returns there
was one person in Jail in 1859, TO every
3,443 Of our population; in 1850 one to
evesy i.647; in 1870 one 10 every ], III;
in 1850 one to every s55: and in 1890
one to every 757. In other words, the
proportion of criminals to population
has increased Eve fold within the last
forty years. Truly by their fruits
ye shall kno y ythem.-Industrial News.

One of our prominent republican
friends stated a wholesome truth the
other day when he said that poor
crops and hard times bred discomfort
and political talk and investigation,
and that bred Populists; while good
crops and good times kept down dis
content and political talk and bred
good republicans. Tersely stated it
seems to be this: Investigation breeds
Populists and lack of investigation
breeds good republicans.

FIrHIAN's sHIPPrNG BILLS.


Tho OBJECT Is to Rsducs the Taxes on
American Vessels.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-Two bills of in
terest to shipping ports were introduced
in the house today by Representative
Fithian of Illinois. The legislation in
corporsted in them was recommended
by Commissioner Cham berlain of the
navigation bureau OF the treasury de-
partment. in his last report.
The first bill provides that the gross
tonnage, instead OF net tonnage, shsll
be the basis Of computing ton
mage taxes, and what is known
as the 3-cen: rate per ton is re-
dnoed to cents, and the 6.cent rate to
cents. These changes will not affect
the decreased revenues, but will dimin-
ish the taxes on sailing vessels, which
are now said to be too high, and will
transfer n portion OF those charges to
steam vessels.
The second bill changes the measure
ment law also to make it conform to
those of Great Britain, Norway and other
nations, and the object sought by the
proposed legislation is to diminish the
amount of taxes which vessels of the
United States have to pay in for eign
