Wyandotte, W. +. Rightmire, W. H.
Bennington, Noah Allen and others.
These men, and others, have issued
an address to the Populist voters Of
the State, setting forth the "corrup-
ton, venality, hypocrisy and utter
disregard of principle which char
acterized the Populist State admins
tration." Discussing the attempt of
Governor Lewelling and other Popu-
list leaders to secure Endorsement
from the Democratic convention, this
address says:
"Never did spaniels fawn more
cringingly at the feet Of their masters
than these oflice-holders now and can
didates on the Peoples Party ticket,
fawned, and cringed and duplicated
at the feet of Democracy for indorse-
ment. 1t was evidence Of absolute
lack of manhood to ask it. 1t was
dishonorable to seek it. But the
Democratic convention turned deaf
ear to their sycophantic pleadings and
refused to indorse single nominee
of the so-called Populist convention.
Democracy said, we have enough of
your shams and ofyour frauds; hence
forth we will 90 it alone, and proceed
ed to nominate straight Democratic
State ticket"
Then, in closing this appeal is made
to the people:
at must be humiliating to a true
Populist to know that the political
party with which he is affiliated and
which he has been led to believe will
soon usher in the millennium for
labor, has gotten down so low in the
slums Of vice, fraud and corruption;
has professed, pretended and lied to
such an extent that it is recognized
among thinking and observing men
as the chief source from which the
vicious and criminal classes derive
their power to prey upon society;
that it has so struck at virtue, ignor-
ed intelligence, put a premium upon
ignorance and inscribed upon It's ban
ners the basest kind of base ingrati-
tude to the loyal workers in its ranks
who made it possible for it to be in
existence today, that the Democracy
of Kansas is obliged to cast it off as a
vile and leprous covering.
"To elect the men who have been
most instrumental in leading the
Peoples party in Kansas from that
high moral and intellectual plane
carved out at Omaha down into the
of political corruption, it
matters not under what banners they
may sail, upon what platform they
may stand, is to travel over again the
same old road and operate the same
bid machine which has wrought the
'uin OF the people,
The address urges reformers all
over the State to express their views
IN the ACCESSIBILITY Of nominating
mother State ticket. Already many
'nti-Lcwelling Populists have declared
n favor OF this action. Corning says
that $4,000 of the old time Greenback-
'rs would desert the Lewelling crowd
md vote a new ticket.

our exports both of food products and
manufactured articles. The nations
of the world are drawing more and

The following advertisement of u
Milwaukee firm appeared in The Mil
waukee Telegraph of Saturday, Sept. -
The retail prices of today are almost
rs low MS the wholesale prices of II
year ago. As matter of fact, cheap rs
goods have been for the last year, they
are cheaper now. We take the broad
view that most advertisers are telling
some truths about the tariff. Some
are telling part of the truth; some are
telling all of the truth; and some are
telling more than the truth. All may
tell the truth sometime. We hope they
will. This was the first and only store
to come out boldly and point out the
reductions in customs duties on the
goods we sell, and mark down its
stock TO conform with the new condi-
tons.
Readers can draw their own con-
illusions from the above. The new
tariff law has affected the prices of
goods. The tariff Is tax. and con-
sumers pay 1t. Goods are retailing
this year at last years wholesale
prices. See Wanamak er's advertise
ments.

surplus in the general fund of the
treasury of $742, $1,000, derived as fol-
lows: Recovered in judgments from
former state treasurers, to the credit
of the general fund, 1927, 90255; di-
rect war tax fund, $89,4G610; interest
from bank deposits, $46,644,78; rail
road and insurance licenses and office
fees, $278,556,57.
1t was found that this surplus of
SAP, $1,000, without detriment to the
public service, could be applied rs a
portion of the state levy; and it was
SO applied.
In view of the above facts, is
it any wonder the Republicans in
their state platform neglected to make
any reference to state issues?
The tax levy for 1894 tells its own
story, and a sorry one it is for the Re.
publican politicians of Wisconsin.
The state tax levy on Iowa county
for the year 1890 WAS $l2,225.19, as
against $2,884.0O this year; or a differ
ence of $9,34l.19; and no year since
1870 has the levy for state tax on the
city of Mineral Point been less than
$1,000, with the exception of a single
year; and that year it was over 5000.
The levy this year will not exceed
1878.
Juggle as they will with facts and
figures, the Republican politicians can
not controvert or set aside the Dem
ocratic record of four years careful
management of state finances. 1t is
wise in them to give up the task of
trying to do so. The record is an
open one, and The Democrat has faith
to believe that the decision of the
voters of Wisconsin will be rendered
in accordance with the facts in the
case of the people against the leaders
of the Republican party in Wisconsin.

Harper's Weekly of late date says

Harper's Weekly of late date says
"The country is not aroused against
the Democratic party because it has
decreased some tariff duties. The Re-
publican who deceiyes himself by
thinking 80 will remain in the dark
ness Of past out of which the half
performance Of the Democratic party
has brought us. The great majorties
for the Democratic party in 1890 and
1892 showed clearly that the people
have made up their minds that tariff
taxes should be reduced, and that
raw material should be placed on the
free list. The people OF the United
States are not the feeble minded
children that some Republican polite
lans have assumed them to be, and
they are not in the habit Of rebe]ling
against the party which they have
placed in power because it keeps the
promises on the faith Of which it
succeeded. The country is enraged
against the Democratic party because
1t has not fully carried out its pledges,
because it has been dominated by the
same influences that have for years
controlled the Republican party, es
pecially in the framing Of the McKin-
ley act, and because whatever there
has been Of good intention, sound
principle, and morality in the Demo
cratic party has been made of no
avail by the corruption, greed, and
protectionism which have been per-
mitted to rule.

An Uhpatri0tic Attempt.

Milwaukee Journal
The people of Wisconsin cannot be
too severe on the Appleton Post,
which, according to the evidence fur
nished by itself, is trying to make it
appear that there has been no recovery
in business circles, but that the coun-
try is still rushing on toward ruin.
Every intelligent citizen knows that
times are improving right along every
day, and every patriotic citizen is glad
Of it. No citizen worthy Of the name
will allow political prejudice to stand
in the way of national prosperity, but
the editor of the Appleton Post is not
one of that kind.
A day or two ago we printed an ex-
tract from the Post showing that bust
ness was improving in its home city,
bnt now we are driven to the necessity
of Withdrawing our praise from it for
that act, finding that the paper is de-
liberaterately trying to perpetuate a
fraud on its readers when it comes to
matters of the same kind away from
home. The Post has found too many
items of business improvement in the
Democratic press, and so it has sent Il
circular letter to the firms mentioned
asking for information, it being really
an appeal to Republican politicians
who are in business to join in its
calamity cry for political purposes.
The circular letter of The Post to
such manufacturers exposes most
disreputable plot. Between the lines
its appeal to partisanship is clearly
discernihle, and it will receive the con-
tempt of every reputable person.
When partisan organ tries to bear
the prosperity market for the sake of
possible party success it does an un-
patriotic and dishonorable thing.

The Business Story.

Milwaukee, Journal
One very marked indication of the
improvement of business in the
country at large is the railway earn
ings, which are becoming more and
more satisfactory. The total earnings
of the roads of the country do not
yet equal the earnings of last year, it
is true, but the exceptional passenger
traffic of last year swelled the receipts
then. The Financial Chronicle of
New York analyses the returns of the
year and finds that considering the
freight traffic alone the gain is very
marked, and it is the freight traffic
that tells the business story,

opinion that restraints ON trade are IN

their pockets, but the money they thus nc-
quIro must come out OF tho pocltc Of the PEG

II resident of II non notwithstanding district,
and both by education and interest feel that
tariff taxation Is not the thing our people
should want, but as revenue must be had nnd
raised In some way, IL Is probable we shall
have to sustain some tariff.
The money question Is to my mind OF even

BERLIN, Oct 30-Publio opinion Is

that the long threatened storm has burst
and cleared the atmosphere
1t Is understood that the emperor has

zu Gutenberg to the highest post next to
the chancellorship with salary of $40. 600
dollars higher than the chancellor re-
ceiyes, as compensation for the Sights
cast upon him in the Caprivite press, is a
further instance Of the intrusion Of i'm
perial feeling into the government Of the
country which is little lkoly to enlist
popular approval
Prince Hohenlohe. Langenberg IS an
uncle of the emperor He belongs to the
Gleichen- Leiningen families. He was
formerly q member Of the Free Conserva-
tive party ia parliament and has taken
deep interest in colonial matters He has
made no particular mark in politics Tho
other candidates for tho same post are
General Won Loe Prince Frederick Ho-
henzollern and General Count Won Wal
dcrseo. 1t is believed that Prince Hohen.
lohe- Langenberg has the best chance of
appointment.
Tho reduction Of Prince Won Hohen-
lohe's salary by his appointment to the
chanoellorship from S42 500 to $l8, 500 is
OF little consequence TO him, he being
very wealthy. He is no speaker, SO DR..
