This is the year to pass that bill max
ing aseparate judicial district of Belmont
county. In all probability there will not
again for years be so favorable an oppor-
tunity. 1t can be passed now, and in JUS
tiee it ought to be. 1t would work no
harm to anyone except to aspiring Dem
Ocrats of Monroe county, who expect to
come out of their hills and wear the er-
mine of this great county. This county
has reached that stage in wealth and
population when it should select its own
judges of courts.

PENCIL POINTERS.

In the estimation of the Democracy of
this township and town, there is evident
ly something amiss in the conduct of the
Democratic organ in this place. There
seems to be woeful lack OF harmony in
the ranks when the editor of the party
organ is put upon the ticket, and then
slaughtered beyond recognition by men
presumably his friends. The younger
member of the firm was three years ago
defeated for township Office, when the
average Democratic majority was up
wards of a hundred. Now, too, the senior
member of the firm, who is generally
credited with being the editor, is defeat
ed by 81 majority out of vote of 259 and
where the Democratic and Republican
tickets poll about an equal number of
votes. The only solution is that about
80 Democrats did not vote for their can
didate This too, is the result when the
contest was purely on party lines and
untrammeled by any other issues. 1t
can hardly be called generous treatment
of man, but it probably expresses the
view of the Democracy on the conduct
of their party organ.
The people of Ohio are evidently of
the same opinion as last fall-only more
so-and consequently nearly everything
in the State has gone Republican. Gin
cinnati 1000, Cleveland, 4,5OO, Columbus
1900, and other cities, towns and town
ships in like proportion. In fact, it real
ly appears that what little Democracy
was left over from last fall has further
shriveled and is still shriveling. In ey-
cry place where the contest was on party
lines, Republicans made great gains. At
the time that Senator Voorhees, was pre-
senting the pauper making tariff bill in
the Senate the people of Ohio were ex-
pressing their disapprobation of the
measure by voting the Republican ticket.
If the Democracy at Washington has
ears it will pause to listen and then will
heed. The people are in earnest, and
will be heard. A Congress will be chosen
next fall, and the masses will then speak
with appalling distinctness if their
warnings of the last year receive no at
tention. The people still rule

ties is that in the former differences OF
honest opinion between members Of the

honestly discussed with a view to corr

members Of the party, so az to place the

possible on the pending questions Of the
period, for q reform party iS only per-
manently strong when it 10 logically

With the old plutocrstic parties "the

ual Cypher, and the latter must not

justice, Of the policies marked out BY the
leaders, his only duty being to affirm
them st the polls or be counted disloyRl
to his party. The natural tendency Of
parties is to fossilizs with age and
power, and to become political machines
In which the voice Of the individual
voter and thinker is smotheFed rather
than heard.
II Ia for this reason, largely, that new
parties attract the intelligent, thought

Rnces Of your Correspondent-"A Linn

7th inst, especially as he and / repre-
sent the two slightly divergent schools
Of thought in the party whose principles

Your correspondent in "Hard Times

some Of all other parties, viz, that an

Of any and al reforms worthy the name
On the other hand, l represent that el-
ement in the party which does not be-
lsive that labor can DO given the full
fruits OF its exertion by change in rel
shve values Of property and money; that

in the hands OF the few and impoverish-
ment Of the masses, and that fresh dilu'

tion.

quent rise Of prices gives temporary

stimulus to speculation, / admit; but sx
perience shows that in every such in.
stance the injury done the poor by the
speculative or gambling era was greater
than the benefits conferred by the in
creased business.

nary intelligence, who had never glvel

tiong.
Money flows to income-produCinl
property ss inevitably as water flow
down hill, and this tendency is In n,
wise checked by its increase in volume
money is not itself wealth, but q repre-
sentative of wealth, and the man Wht
has wealth can always command the as,
Of its representative. The real function
Of money is that of book keeper be
tween the individual and society, its re
Ceipt being the registry Of q gainSoI
credit on the public ledger, while it

another.
The idea entertained by some, tina
more money means lower rates Of inter
est, 10 contrary TO all experience OF his
tory. Rates Of interest are determined
not by quantity Of money, but by oppor
tunities for safe and profitable invest
ments. In 1866 money was plenty il
volume, but it loaned here in Douglas
county for "a per cent. on good real es
tate security because land and city lotl
were still cheap and were advancing
rapidly in valne. The land boom which
burst in 1873 had then just set in.
Another common error is that crises
and panics are the result OF q scarcity
or Of contraction Of money, yet careful
inspection shows to the contrary. Very
few, il any, psnicS can be shown to have

tiOn, but all, without an exception, car

common property, or by the crown, these
criseg were unknown.
Professor ThOroId Rogers, in his great
economic work, "Six Centuries OF Work
and Wages in England" shows most
conclusively that neither great wealth
nor poverty, nor g financial panic, were
known IN England 10 long az the titles
to land remained vested in the crown in
trust for the nation, 90 that speculation
in land was impossible, and the same
thing was true of other countries. The
recent great collspses in the Argentine
Republic and in Australia were both
preceded by wild saturnslis OF real Os-
tate speculation, and the French revolu-
tion was caused by all land values being
centered in few mobiles and bishops.
Banks fail and depositors lose their
money because loans are made on these
inflated values. The man who bought
during the boom (for use) usually paid
in cash the real use value Of the land or
lots and gave a mortgage in addition TO
cover the speculative value, and lost the
whole, but the speculatOr who sold in
time made fortune.
The result Of every such boom and
collapse has been to concentrate owner
ship in fewer and richer hands, until
three fifths OF the land values Of Kansas
are owned by wealthy foreigners, nom
residents, or trust companies, and the
process 10 still going on.
Inequality Of taxation ia another fer.
tile source Of concentration, and one not
affected by change in volume Of money.
Statistics show that farmers own but
6 or s per cent. Of the total wealth of the
country, but pay about 60 per cent. Of
all national, state and local taxes FoE
national taxation the millionaire keeps /
or 2 per cent. Of his income IN taxation,
but farmers, mechanics, and labOreEG
from 20 to 80 per cent. Of their incomes,
The third great cause Of mOnopoliee
and unequal distribution Of wealth is in
chartered privileges granted for the
monopoly Of public utilities, railways
tslegrsphs, telephones, express lines,
electric light, gas, street railways, insur-
ance, etc., all OK which are monOpolies by
their nature and should be owned and
operated by the nation or municipality
at cost.
Why do we now have 100000 idle
men and 100000 without q bread
winner; soup houses and bread riots, in a
land Of boundless resources scarcely
touched by the hand Of enterprise and
labor; why 80 many homeless people in a
sparsely settled CountryY The answer
is: Land monopoly and unjust tsxstion;
oppressive mOnopoliss, expensive govern
ment, too many high-salaried officials,
fluctuating currency, lack Of steady ex-
pansion Of money with population, but
the greatest OF all is land monopoly.
The remedy is public ownership Of
public things, separation Of public and
private values, giving to the public FOR
public use the values created by the
presence and labor Of Rll the people, so
that to the individual can be given for
his own use the entire product Of his Ia
Dor, free OF toll, to a monopoly or tax to
government. There can be no more to

Nothing could more clearly Illus
trate the tenacious hold the robber
tariff has upon our body polite than
the recent attempt to bribe Senator
llunton and his colleague into be-
trayal of their trust. The hollow pre-
Coxt that increase in tarilf-padded
prices goes into the wages OF the la
borcr is completely demolished by il.
The senate investigation has pro-
ceedcd far enough to show that the
tariff barons of the country il their
extremity have formd large and pow
erful lobby and loaded it with fiat"
for the purpose of corrIptlng the sem
ate into defeat of the present tariff
bill. Their brazen-f faced advances to-
wards the two senators implicated is
an attempt at outright purchase OF the
law making power to fasten the IL
iquitous system longer upon the peo-
pie. How skilfully they have covered
Their tracks elsewhere, further devel-
opments will show. Senator lIunton
was offered S!j. 900 for his vote and
the briber making the offer remarked
at it would be cheap at sion, 001. A
lobby with equipment of wealth sutfi-
cient to offer 500, 600 for "A single vote
is an alarm to the stoutest faith in the
integrity of the republican govern
ment. .
While the tariff bill as IL stands at
present is but cut of little less than
- per cent. of the present tariff rates,
yet it is move in the right direction.
With the enormously expensive
methods of running the government,
