Protection or Free Trade.

The illogical position the democrat
party hold on the tariff question was
never so apparent as at present in
the squabble over She Wilson bill"
Their efforts to occupy the same
ground as the republican party is
distressing the party. Two OPP
posing parties can't stand on the
same plank. There is no such thing
as "tarf1 for revenue only" The
next tariff battle will be plain

about a mile from where the roads

Another Effort for Government
TELEGRAPH.

The International Topographic Union
have organized strong movement in favor
of the government ownership and control of
the Telegraph and Telephone. These
modern inventions for transmitting lntel-
ligence are naturally allied to the post Office
and the governments of Europe have made
them part of the mail system owned and
controlled by the government.
Although there is a strong diversion being
made by the Typographical Union, the daily
newspapers are as quiet as the grave on the
subject. They are SO completely under the
control of such monopolies as the Western
Union that they dare not say a word in
favor of government telegraph, and j they
make any demonstration it is much more
likely to be opposed TO, than in favor of the
movement.
Every farm organization and every other
association of the people should petition
congress to place the telegraph and tele-
phone under government ownership and
operation. If our congress was not the
servant of monopoly the telegraph and tel
ephone would long ago have been made a
part of our post Office department. Every
Post Master General since Creswell has
recommended this, but monopoly rules
congress and every movement looking to its
contamination has been smothered in COM
mittee rooms.
The United States is under the rule Of
monopoly to far greater extent than any
nation on the globe. The great Influential
newspaper press has been seized and turned
against the interests of tbs people and com
PEELED to do the bidding of monopoly. If
the people do not awake to the realization
of this fact soon and arouse themselves TO its
correction, nothing but armed force will
avail to recover what they have lost. With
the government and all its powers and
nationpl prestage in the hands of monopoly
this will not be an easy task.

1t is a remarkable thing that ele.
plants are able to make their way ur
and down mountains and through q
country of steep cliffs where mules
would not dare venture, and even
where men find passage difficult. Their
tracks have been found upon the very
summit of mountains over seven thou
sand feet high. In these journeys an

most precipitous. This is the way in
which it is done: The elephants first

short way down the slope, and if he
finds there is no good spot for firm
foothold, he speedily forms one by
stamping into the soil if it is moist, or
kicking out footing If it is dry. When
he is sure of a good foothold the other
fore leg is brought down in the same
way. Then he performs the same
work over again with his feet, bring

his huge, strong fore legs, he draws his

The Supreme Effort Of Piutocracy

Notwithstanding the great hula
baloo that is being made by the
republican press over tariff, the
Keystone OF their policy is the money
trust and general corporation en-.
couragement, which has become
enthroned in power and occupies the
position in the United States that
the titled class do in old world gov
ernments. A money oIigarchy is
the base rock of the republican
theory CT government. 1t has no
faith in the people, and no confidence
in the declaration that all men have
unalienable rights to life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness. Money
and the vested rights of property
stand above the rights of men in
every pulsation of the republican
party's system Of government.
The democrat party cannot be
credited with having any definite
policy of government or system Of
economic principles. 1t is more of
an opposition party to the policy of
whatever party may be in control.
1t is led principally by men in pur-
SUIT If office and control and distri-
button of public revenues. In order
to secure power the party is ready TO
take any side of any question, as its
shifting ground ON financial and tariff
policies recently proves. Its leaders
are not statesmen but a band of
office hunting politicians, with un,
certain views on every question
which comes to the front.
The great mass Of the wealth pro-
ducing population are steadily losing
whatever faith and hope they have
had in the democrat party, in
the light OF its action, white they are
crystalizing against the aristocracy
of the republican party. The evolu-
ton in American politics has reached
an epoch in which the environments
are driving the masses of the plain
people with the resistless force of
gulf stream, in opposition to the
aristocratic government of wealth
enthroned in corporate power, which
has become the theory of She repub-
lican party. into an opposing force to
this system.
The democrat party is used as
facade to attract attention while the
republican party retires after a
repu'se to reorganize and prepare to
renew the struggle for the permanent
establishment of its plntocratic
system of the vested rights of wealth.
The main hope OF the republican
party for final success is in policy
OF deception practiced through it's
daily press, which leaves no ruse
untried to mislead and deceive the
public on every economic question,
and on its ''army chest" which is
kept always full. The wind it was
thought necessary to sow in order to
call BACK to its ranks the scattering
forces after its defeat, has increased
TO whirlwind which threatens to
wreck the plotters. Were it not for
the deception so successfully prac
ticed by the daily press, the dissat.
isfed and suffering masses would
rally to the rake OF the Peoples
Party, which embodes ell the
Immediately practical reforms of the
day, and work the final overthrow of
concentrated capital which caused
Lincoln to tremble Tor the danger it
threatened to the liberties of the
"nonle. That concentrated capital
is preparing for its SUPP
through the republican party. and
the distressed people are also pre-.
pairing to encounter it.
