Free Raw Material Nonsense.

Mr. Cleveland claims that free raw
material Is Il tariff principle adopted
by the Democrats. He is mistaken
two times. First, the Democrats have
no principles. and second, that party
has never favored free raw material in
its platform. Will Mr.. Cleveland con-
tinue his dissertation on free raw ma
terial and give the country u few
extracts from Democratic platforms
when the party favored raw material
AS Grover is the Democratic party
now, stomach and liver and lights.
also what little brains it has. he having
adopted free raw material, therefore
makes it Democratic principle.
The idea.of universal free raw ma
terial is fallacious enough for Dem
ocratic principle, vet the party has
never adopted it Of record. Free raw
material means free cotton and free
cotton means the establishment of a
perfect parity between the southern
cotton planter and the 9-cents-a-day
cotton raisers of India. Free raw ma
terial is y hoax, taken in a general
sense. Some raw material should be
free and others should be taxed.
Evidently the pauperized cotton
producers of India should not have
free ports to ship their cotton to this
country.
There are very many other raw ma
torials that should not be free, II
Congress would let up on free raw ma
terial and give the country free silver

Omnibus lniunCtlOnx,

Our high and mighty federal judges,
without straining their consciences
much further, can easily find ground
for injunctions against independent
voting this fall. They have already
decided that it is crime to strike or
to ask any one else to strike. They
have also decided. in their massive
minds. that labor unions. when they
don't keep still. are anarchistic, and
the Populist party. for sympathizing
with them, is also anarchistic. Now
what is easier or more logical than to
decide that to allow such people to
vote is menace to law and order"
and what we call government. To
play their string out. the Bakers,
Grosscups and Woodses will nave to
get out another omnibus Injunction

WHY Not Government Ownership:

500. 100000. The government is oner-
ating these roads under receivers be-
cause the corporations who own them
were unable to make them pay. This
must be Il confession that the govern
ment can operate railroads cheaper
and better than the corporations can.
II l52 corporations thus voluntarily
turn over their roads to the United
States government because the gov
eminent can operate them better than
the corporation owners themselves
can. what is the matter with the gov

railroads in the interest OF the whole

He then says there were 81, $40. 4S3-
721 of treasury notes either payable on
demand or bearing interest. If the
temporary loans. which were payable

post after notice of ten days, and the
certificates of Indebtedness, which
bore interest ut 6 per cent. payable

option of the Government. are in
cluded with the Treasury notes, the
whole would amount to more than
three-fifths of the public debt.
1t should be remembered that this
volume of money circulated exclusively
in the north until the close of the re-
bellion. For several years after the
war owing to the condition of affairs in
the south there was no demand for
large volume of money. 1t should
also be remembered that even includ-
ing the whole country the population

half the number the census now gives.
ton in the north. and the bulk of this

OOO. 900 people.
Now let us compare these conditions
with the present. From the reports
of the Treasury Department of De-
cember l, 1898, the following currency
was in circulation, that is. all but
what was held for bank reserves and
various other purposes, circulated:

Thus with more than double the
population and the south opened up
and recovering from the war and call
ing for a large circulation. there is
IS, 7731 l24.67 less currency. This is n
sufficient explanation OF the hard
times without going any further into
the cause and effect. There was not
a sufficient volume of money in circu-
lation to hold up the business of the
country, and rs a natural result the
business went down.

1t is estimated that there are now

Farmers wooder why the price Of wheat
has gone down and merchants are in
despair over the scarcity Of purchasers.
But it is easily accounted for. Cut -
per cent Of the demand from anything
and the price will fall. The way to
bring prices mp is to increase the de-
