The Cause and the Remedy.

The Washington Post in an editorial
article headed The Cry of Distress" is
inclined to take very serious view of
the present situation. As matter of
fact, the situation is of character to
invite the minds of intelligent people
to a season of serious reflection. What
the Post says is worthy the attention of
those who betray now and then de-
sire to dismiss the present condition of
affairs with fiippant denunciation of
the lawlessness that shows its head in
various parts of the country, and a
superficial protest against the strikes
that occur when the pressure of hard
times compels reduction of wages.
The Post says:
The people throughout the country
are in an almost unprecedented condi-
tion of unrest and discomfort, not only
because of the continued hard times,
but for the reason that their represen-
tatives in Washington are slow and ap-
parently incompetent to devise meas
ures OF relief.
although many thousands of hon.
est workingmen have been out of en-
ployment for long and weary months,
the strike and boycott, entailing seri-
Gus loss to thousands of other wage
earners, are, after all, but the natural
fruit OF strained and unnatural condi-
tions. They are in the nature of up

Demanding Reform.

The St. Louis papers are thoroughly
aroused to the necessity of radical
changes being made in the administra-
tion of criminal laws. They very
truthfully allege that it is practically
impossible to convict any one of a
crime in that city If the accused party
has money to fight justice. The same
practices are pursued in other courts
| of the state, but not to such general
extent.
There is not a single valid reason
why criminals should not be forced to
60 to trial within reasonable length
of time, and yet the man with money
can have his trial put off almost in
definitely. A continuance from one
term to another is the first move.
When this prolific source of killing
time has been exhausted. then comes
changes of venue, subterfuges and
swearing against the judge. and finally
appeals to a higher court, If by great
chance conviction in the trial court
was obtained.
There is not an intelligent farmer
west of the Mississippi river who could
not make a more efficient code of laws
for the suppression of crime than the
criminal statutes of Missouri present
to-day. They afford hundreds of loop
holes through which criminals may es-
cape and few of the drag-net features
of the federal statutes under which
guilty parties are brought to justice
within a reasonable time.
Criminal law is becoming farce in
this state. A little knowledge of how
to obtain continuances, changes of
venue, etc., will enable anyone to pose
as a criminal lawyer. By preventing
trial for months and sometimes years
the prosecuting witnesses scatter or
die and the chances of conviction have
been wonderfully reduced.
If any valuable change is to be Sc
cured it must come through repeal
of the criminal laws through which de-
lays are secured. The civil and GRIM
inal courts should be divided and |
enough criminal judges supplied to
dispose of all criminal cases within a |
time. The Office of prose-
cutting attorney should be abolish ed and i
provision made for district attorneys.
The matter of granting continuance
for short time should be left to the
trial judge, just as it is now left to the
Judge of federal district court. Rad
ical as such changes may appear, they
would result in saving hundreds of
thousands of dollars in criminal costs
and bringing criminals to justice with
ia the same decade in which their
crimes were committed.-Jeferson

NUMBER 2,

remedy for idle labor-the remedy for
destitution-ther remedy for the distress
and discomfort that are plunging the
country into dire confusion-the reme-
dy for strikes-the remedy for low
wages and no wages-the remedy for
ali the troubles that have followed the
sudden and disastrous shrinkage of
values and fall of prices that followed
the sudden increase in gold values when
the mlnts of India were closed to silver
in June, 1898, and silver was effectual-
ly demonetized by this county in the
fall of the same year.
When will Congress make an effort
to apply this remedy? When will the

The following resolutions were pass
ed by the Convention that nominated
Judge Fox for Congress, at De Soto:
1.-The Democratic party of the Thir-
teenth Congressional District of Mis-
souri, in convention assembled, reaff;rm
the time honored principles of the
great party of jefferson, and hereby en-
dorse and adopt the platform enunci-
ated by the State Convention at Kan
sas City. We attribute the present
hard times and general business de-
preston to the evil effects of Republi-
can class legislation, and we especially
denounce the restrictive principles OF
the Mckinley bill as being promotive
of trusts and combines and favor the
enactment of the Wilson bill as it pass
ed the National House of Representa-
tive. We believe that the coinage of
money by the Government should be
in such amounts as to furnish the peo-
Pile safe and sufficient currency. We
further believe that the per capita Cir
culation is insufficient. therefore, as a
means of increasing the per capita cir
culation, we favor the coinage of both
gold and silver without discrimination
against either as recommended by our
State platform. We favor the imposi-
tion of a tax on incomes as wise and
system of taxation. We con-
gratulate our present member of Con-
gress, the Hon. Robert w. Fyan. in
his faithful representation of the inter-
ests of his constituents and heartily
endorse his course in Congress"

The Silver Issue.
time.

AT the Denver meeting of the Repub-
lican National league resolution was
adopted demanding that the full use
and highest position of silver be restor-
ed. Ii this means anything at all, it
means that silver should be coined FREQ
and unlimited and at a fixed ratio.
On the same day the Illinois Democrats
declared for free silver and the Penn
sylvania Democrats adopted resolu-
ton endorsing silver coinage.
All such proceedings go to show that
the people do not consider the silver
question settled, and that they propose
in the end to have silver coined with
as little restriction as gold and on a
definite ratio of value. 1t is said that
there is even strong sentiment among
the citizens of the New England states
in favor of the free coinage of silver
and that the New England representa-
tives in Congress only represent the
brokers and money-lenders. However
this may be. there is a sentiment out
side of the New England states strong
enough to rule.
A few months a 90 the eastern Repub-
licans were chuckling over the pros
poets Of a division in the Democratic
party on the silver question, and now
they find themselves CON fronfed with n
worse condition than they ever hoped
to see encompass the Democratic party.
With ex-Speaker Reed and his follow
ers shouting for free silver in the
northeast. and the Republican western
states making the most imperative de-
mands in the same direction. the Re
publicans who mortgaged the party to
Wall street are in fair way to find
themselves unable to deliver the goods.

The New York Uiorid recently printed
carefully prepared tables showing the re
ductions in articles of general necessity
by comparison of wholesale prices this
year and the corresponding time last
year.
The tables show that the cost of living
under the Democratic tariff is less by
from 10 to % per cent. than it was a
year ago under the Mckinley tariff.
That is to say a dollar now Will buy of
the necessaries of life about as much as
81 10 or 81 % would buy year ago, al
though at that time hundreds of mer-
chants were ready to sell their goods at a
sacrifice to save themselves from bank
ruptcy.
1t costs less now to build house than
it did then. 1t costs less to carpet and
furnish it. And when you come to live
in it it costs less to buy your canned
vegetables, fish, fruits and meats, your
hardware, your clothing, your tinware,
your bllltI, Cll0tSC' tSs5~r SlIii t-r III
sheets, towels, rope, twine, oils, paints
and pretty nearly everything else that
enters into daily use. The facts and fig
ures are all given in detail.
These are the results of tariff reform
They are concessions wrung by Demo
cratic legislation from the trusts which
had conspired under the Mckinley law
to extort as much as possible from the
necessaries of the people.
This is protection to American labor
of a genuine sort. 1t protects the peo-
pie from robbery and extortion at the
hands of the conspirators who dictated
the Mckinley schedules for their own
benefit
Your dollar is worth more now than il
was year ago because in the meantime
Democratic congress has repealed {
tariff law which made the trusts master:
of our markets and licensed them tC
levy tribute upon the people.

Two Centuries i'm One Family.

The Lovett family have had, in direct
line of descent, continuous possession of
a farm at Emile, four miles from Bristol,
in Bucks county, for 2l2 years. The
present owner of the manor-JosepS l..
Lovett-has in his possession the orig
inal deed for the land bearing the sign
atures of the DLke of York and William
Penn. The old Penn farm at Penn s
Manor Is but a short distance from the
Lovett farm, and the latter at one time
included the farm owned by the Penus.
The land has done justice to the hatter-
ing reports sent back to the old country
by the first settlers who landed with
Penn on the shore of the Delaware, and
has yielded prolific crops to reward the
labOrs of its owners. The present owner
planted a grove of chestnut trees some
years ago. They were grated and bore
an excellent quality of nuts this year,
the land being especially favorable tn the
nurture OF the trees and fruit. Forty of
the nuts were sufficient to fill a quart
measure, and they found ready sale in
the Philadelphia market for from S12
to SO bushel.

SECRETARY CARLISLE 5 report of the Op
erations of the United States treasury
department for the fiscal year ended
June 80, was presented to congress on
Tuesday. 1t is a most important docu-
ment, and treats in detail what was
only touched upon by the president in
his annual message on the financial pol
icy of the administration.
Secretary Carlisle considers the feats
lures of the proposed currency plan at
great length and the course of his re
marks expresses his convictions that the
interests of the country require such
changes in legislation as will disconnect
the government entirely from the busi-
ness of issuing or reissuIng or circulating
notes and thus relieve its fiscal depart
ment from the periodical demands upon
its resources which under the existing
system, must continue to disturb the
financial and general business affairs of
the country. The secretary presents a
plan which, in his opinion, would re-
lieve the government from some of his
burdens, secure a safe and elastic nation
al and state bank currency, and result
ultimately in the permanent retirement
of United States legal tender notes of
both classes.

Claus Spreckels' Big Check.

San Francisco, Cal, December s.
Considerable interest has been aroused
here over the check for million and a
half, which Claus Spreckels, the sugar
king, drew Saturday on the Nevada
bank. The check was made payable to
the California bank and it was thought
that Mr.. Spreckles had transferred his
account from one bank to the other.
Mr. Spreckels said to-day that this
was not the case; that he still had a
large deposit at the Nevada bank
When asked how large that deposit was
Mr.. Spreckels said he thought he could
draw several checks without exhausting
his account.
He refused to say what the check was
for, but intimated that it was to pur-
chase some of the new issue OF govern
ment bonds, for which the bank of Cal
ifornia had subscribed one million eight
hundred thousand dollars.

\ SPECIAL report on the feeding of
wheat to cattle has just been issued from
the agricultural department as follows.
The returns from the correspondents
of the statistical division of the depart
ment of agriculture, relative to the
amounts of wheat fed to stock, estimate
the quality already fed, that is to saw.
up to October 80, 46, 500, 600 bushels.
and the estimated amount to be fed %
27S, 900 bushels, making total of over
20, 900, 900 bushels.
These figures of wheat feeding are
merely the meagre estimates from those
states wherein correspondents have cons
piled with the request of the department
and must not be taken as anything more
than an attempt at approximation of
the total feeding of wheat from present
supply. The severity and length of the
winter will necessarily influence the
final findings upon this question.
