AN ksENIEE LIAR.
The editor of the Philiipsburg Dis
patch, better known as the husband Of
his wife, Ollie /. jumps onto TIE Re-
PUBLIC editor, who he imagines is the
eParson,a for stating thai the Rookie
faller gift to the Chicago university
would probably be followed by a rise in
Standard Oil.
He extols the virtues of the oil king,
tells of his donations of $4,000 to
institutions of learning, and winds up
with the monumental falsehood that
coal oil is cheaper to-day than it ever
was.
a short time ago Rockefeller gave
that same Chicago university large
gift, and it is current history that the
Standard Oil man advanced the price
of oil and cleared several millions of
dollars on the rise. The future is al
ways anticipated by the history of the
past, and, therefore, gift from Mr..
Rockefeller could reasonably be ex-
pected to pereede a rise in sighting
fluid"
He says that coal oil is cheaper to-
day than ever. This statement must
be met by one Of the following dedue-
tions: "The Dispatch editor is a liar.
'sThe Dispatch editor never bought
coal oil" Coal oil, to-day, is sold all
over the west for % cents a gallon
Coal oil, before the Standard Oil com.
pany secured control of the product,
was sold for never more than 10 cents,
and at many places the price was as
low as 10 cents a gallon.
The immense wealth of Rockefeller
has been accumulated by robbing the
consumer, and it is admitted by all
candid men that the Standard Oil com
pany is the most INSCRIPTIONS trust
that curses the American people to-
day, Rockefeller, millionaire, is no
more entitled to honor for his philan-
thropy than is the ighway robber who
scatters a portion of lis i'll gOtten gains
among the gamins of the gutter.
The American people have already
formed an opinion of the Standard Oil
company representative and no word
from any man can change it.
The Dispatch could be expected to
stand up for all such institutions of op-
preston, owing to the factithat it sold
its birthright, not like Esau, for a mess
of pottage, but for a page of plates.
Last summer the Sound Money
league" an organization of bondhold-
ers, bankers and usurers, sent circulars
to all Kansas papers, offering to fur
nish American Press association stereo-
typed plates free of charge if the editor
would use them and support the move
to fasten more firmly the gold standard
upon the nation. John @. Royce was
the only editor in northwestern Kansas
who thought so little of his individual
opinion, and was craven enough to sell
it for the price of $3.50 per week. paid
in plates.
This ass, this liar, this coward with
palms itching for the pettiest bride, has
the gall to call the editor of The RE
PUBLIC an anarchist for advocating re-
forms and equal rights for all men, and
the adjustment of corruption in high
places, which is now upheld only by
the white-livered ours of whom John
| @. Royce is a fair sample.
