WILL NOT MIX.

Kentucky Goldbug Democrats and the
Main Body of the Party Must Part.
Party differences fade and sore places
heal between convention and the cleo
tion. That is the rule Of politics. Itdoes
not, however, apply to the Kentucky
campaign. Here are conditions wholly
outside of the ordinary. The Kentucky
Democracy is furnishing an object lesson
to the country. The lesson is that Sound
1noney" principles and free coinage cam
didates will not mix. A platform Of one
and ticket OF the other are irreconcil-
able. The breach between the Demo-
cratic factions has grown steadily into a
gulf. 1t has reached the stage where
Mr. Mccormick, lifelong Democrat,
introduces the Republican nominee for
governor and declares his intention to
vote for him, while Mr.. Atherton, a
member of the Democratic convention
and one Of the makers of the platform,
issues an open letter, arraigning the
Democratic nominee for party treason
and calling upon all "sound money"
Democrats to oppose him at the polls.
And how do the free silver Democrats
meet this open repudiation Of Hardin
by the sound money" Democrats? Here
is all expression Of opinion from Colonel
W. Fl. Polk, the former editor of the
Lexington transcripts:
IF Mr.. Atherton and all his class of
Democrats, said Colonel Polk, :would
get out of the Democratic party and stay
out Of it, the masses would be benefit
ed. We want realignment of voters
on this money question-all the silver
men on one side and all the Athertons
and Republicans on the other. -
That is the free silver spirit in Ken
tucky when you get among the voters
and away from the office seekers.
II am not surprised bit, !" continued
Colonel Polk, speaking of the Atherton
letter, "for such action on the part of
goldbug Democrats was foreshadowed
some time ago, and was expecting Mr.
Atherton to lead in the break, as he has
done. Mr.. Atherton belongs to that class
Of Democrats who place self interest
above patriotism and the constitution.
They look not to the best interests Of
the people, which would be subserved
by a return to constitutional money, but
to the interests of their pockets. Show
me Democratic banker or money lend
er and will show you Republican in
disguise. Frankfort Cor. st. Louis

Strong Silver Sentiment.

There is very strong silver senti-
ment among the Republicans of Michi-
gan, Illinois, Kansas and such other
western states as | have been in. I
think that the fight has not progressed
as far in the Republican as in the Dem
'ocratic party, but I look for rapid de-
velopment Of silver sentiment after con-
gress meets. If the silver Republicans
will organize as thoroughly as the sill
YER Democrats are organizing they will
be prepared to do much better work in
1896. We have a great many silver Re-
publicans in Nebraska. William J.

The editor of the Concordia Blade
has been arrested, charged with print
ing and sending obscene matter
through the mails. The Blade comes
regularly to this office and it has never
to our mind, contained anything OBJ
jectionable. It seems that the Republi
can party in Kansas has adopted a
eowardly system of getting the best OF
their political opponents. ATresting
men OIL trumped-up. charges and caus-
ing them to pay expenses for proving
the unjustness of the charges may be
good Republican politics, but it is not,
and never will be, looked upon as
manly or honorable opposition. The
infamies of the present regime will
live long disgrace and blot upon the
fair name of Kansas, and the man who
voted it in power.

TARIFF HTTMBUG.

The tariff humbug has again made
its appearance in the columns of the
old party press. They are seeking to
attract the attention of the people
from the money questionable vital
issue.
There is no humbug greater than the
tariff. While the people have been
quarreling over it's imaginary ills or
benefits the money power has stolen
their substance. The tariff is tax on
imports, which is paid by the consumer
to the government, while on home pro
auctions it is a velvet for the manu-
facturer which is filched from the con-
sumer. In either case the consumer
is the loser and no one is benefited
except the American millionaire manu-
facturer.
The masses are taxed all the time on
the out-go through the operations Of
the tariff tariff for revenue only with
incidental protection. It is the inciden-
tai that counts. An American sewing
machine or a mower or a reaper can be
bought in London or Brazil 30 per cent
cheaper than it can be purchased in
America at the factory where it was
built. There comes in the incidental.
It is protected here from foreign com
petition and the profit is so great that
the manufactures of these goods can
pay the freight across the ocean and
then sell it less than he will at home.
Isn't it funny? Harper's magazine
sells in this country for 80 cents and
in Europe for % cents. An American
cedar pencil sells in this country for
cents, but in England it is retailed at
one copper. And just so it is with
hundreds of other things that are made
in this country. This incidental is not
accidental, but was done on purpose al
Washington and the law makers say
that the people must stand it.

UNEQUAL TAXATION

The slaughter of the income tax was
a crime. It is strongly limited that the
supreme court stretched its conscience
to the utmost limit in rendering its
decision. The wealthy classes. the
ones most benefited by protection of
government. have always shirked their
share of taxation. This law was framed
to force these classes to assume their
equitable portion Of expense Of govern
ment.
In sCoin's Financial School Up To
Date" the author shows up the in
equalities of taxation. He gives a Ger
tiicate of David Gore, the auditor of
public accounts for the state of Iii
nois, which shows that all that the
bankers and brokers Of Chicago had
assessed for taxation was only $4,000

IGNORANCE SUPPORTS MONOPOLY.
What do you horny-handed sons Of
toll think of this kind of talk from the
old party papers?
81 think the hard times now show
that it is time to call a halt in the cry
for the restriction Of immigration, snd
for the propertied classes to consider
whether wehad not better have the con
tract labor law repealed. It's said that

also supply material for which we have
a growing necessity for army purposes,
"With us the dynamiter is allowed
the safety valve of free talk. He is
assured by his own people that dyna-
mite is unpopular here; that violence
cannot succeed in America; that his
vote is the means of redress in this
country, and he never finds out that
his ignorant vote is the very instru-
ment used by the ruling classes to keep
him under authority. We need this
stream of ignorant people, this lower
class; without them the demagogues
among the disconnected, educated,
poverty-stricken workmen would take
things in their own hands and run
them to suit themselves. Bolton Hall

10 times that sum in value. The money
of these banks amounts to hundreds of
millions, but through the manipulation
of municipal politics the rich control
the assessors and escape taxation.
In refusing to carry their portion of
the taxation, the rich may find them
selves in the same predicament as did
the horse in "Hsop's Fables" A trav-
eler on starting on a journey, packed
all his goods on a donkey, while his
horse trotted along unbuTdened. The
burden was grieVously heavy and the
donkey asked his equine friend to take
pity on him and carry part of the load
The horse refused saying that he was
above such labor. The heavy load
finally broke the donkey's back and
the traveller loaded the burden upon
the horse together with the carcass Of
the donkey.
The American people are fast reach
ing a condition when they will demand
a restoration of their rights, settle
ment of old accounts with compound
interest, an evening up Of things of
benefit. When that time comes the
rich and arrogant plutocrats are the
ones that will suffer. The uprisings Of
the downtrodden have always always
been written in the blood of their OPP
pressors and there is no reason to be-
lieve that they will not in the future.
A French king once told his starving
subjects to Ego and eat grass" The
sequel to that was the decapitated head
of that monarch carried through the
streets of Paris on a pole and in its
mouth wisp of hay.
It is hoped that reform in America
can be accomplished without blood, by
peaceful methods. But whether or no,
reform will surely come.

IT is often said, and truthfully, that
the great daily papers of New York
City dictate the policy of this govern
ment, Who own these great Journals
and from what standpoint their in
huence are dictated might be of inter
est to the American voter. Miller. the
owner of the New York Times, is an
Englishman who will not swear allegi-
ance to the United States. Godkin. of
The Evening Post, is an Irishman, and
although he has lived 30 years under
the stars and stripes, he is a subject of
Queen Victoria. Pulitzer, of the New
York World, was born in Hungary and
has resided in that county permanent
ly since he accumulated fortune in
America Bennett, of the New York
Herald, was born in this country. but
his father, the former owner, died a
subject of the English crown. The
junior Bennett Is an American only by
accident Of birth and has lived in Paris
all his life and lives there today. Like
Thomas F. Bayard, the American am
bassador to England, he believes that
America is a vulgar place and unfit for
gentleman to reside in. Such are the
men that dictate what the American
government shall do. Is it to be ex-
pected that these foreigners care for
the future of America? No matter how
earnest the rank and file of the old
parties may be in their efforts to OBJ
tain honest government, the leaders
are always in the hands Of the ultra
European policy makers. The Peoples

purity Of the constituency, snatch the /
elections from the control Of eoFrup-
ton, and rear up fresh generations of |
peasant soldiers to preserve The liber-
ties and the glories which their fathers
had won.
History does repeat itself, and in the
conditions of ancient Rome We find a
striking counterpart of that which is
happening in the United States today
If the foregoing had been written as
the history of this republic it could
not have fitted the prevailing conditions
with greater nicely. Such being the fact
it is only reasonable to carry on the
history of Rome to prognosticate the
fate of cur own country should reforms
not be quickly instituted. A more re-
cent writer says that the rulers of
Rome, to more fully enslaye the people,
demonetized silver and made gold the
only legal money. Note the similarity
in the history of the two nations, and
from what befel Rome, expect to befall
the United States. In the words of the
writer: consequently prices fell lower
and lower, the money lenders received
more and more in interest and pIinci-
pal, taxes became more and more bur
| densOme, and producers were further
discouraged by the constant deprecia-
ton of their property, which gradually
fell into the hands Of the creditor
classes. The property Of the produe-
ing classes being exhausted without
paying their debts, they became the
slaves Of their creditors. All incentive
to energy was destroyed and the classes
that once formed the strength of Rome,
from which the inVincible legions we're
draWn-reduced as they we're to slav-
ery-weFe ready to welcome any change
as a relief At the same time while
the producing classes were reduced to
state of slavery, the creditor classes
fell into state Of growing moral cor
ruption-as state that is always brought
about by the possession of unearned
gains. Thus reduced to impotency
by slavery, ignorance, heathenism and
moral corruption, the Roman empire
fell an easy victim to the hordes of
barbaric Germans, who marched from
one end of Italy to the other without
meeting any serious resistance"
Conditions, in all lands and in all
countries and in all times, bring about
the same results. In the fate Of An
cient Rome is fixed the criterion of
American destiny. There is room for
alarm. Already the rust of decay has
weakened the power of the nation.
Money and not patriotism is the ruling
passion, and should genuine reform
not come in the next decade the fall of
the United States and the enthrone-
ment of monarchy is probable.
Every citizen who honors the memory
of his forefathers, who desires the pri-
vileges of liberty for his posterity, who
shuns the fate of slave, who wishes
the perpetuity of his nation, should
take heed to the lessons of history, be
guided by the past and educate him
self to combat and defeat the cor
ruption and rottenness that sounds the
knell of freedoms decadence.

some of the arguments against the
government ownership Of railroads are
ridiculous to the extreme. One of
them is that should the government
own the railroads the members of the
union orders would not be employed.
In the government printing Office no
one can be employed who is not a
member of the Typographical Union.
An appointee who is not a member,
must become one before he can go to
work. Does that look like a refusal
to employ union labor? Another claim
is that their wages would be cut down.
In that same printing Office the en-
ployees get better wages and shorter
hours than the printers in the city
offices. although Washington is one Of
the strongholds of unionism. The
clerks on the mail cars do not have as
heavy work as the baggage men and
yet their wages are much better. Gov
