The County Printing.

The Dispatch some two weeks ago
wanted to know il Mr.. Tannahill and
MIR. Brainerd wanted the facts about
the letting Of the county printing this
wear published. Both said yes, the
former in letter to the Dispatch, the
latter through the columns OF this
paper For some reason the DIS
match failed to notice either the let
ter or request, and as several people
have asked what was meant by the
Dispatch, we will have to unfold the
terrible tale ourself. About the only
answer we can give is, nothing AT
the time the county printing was let
in January the commissioners enter
ed into q contract with the Dispatch
to do the county printing at, 80 far
as the contract is concerned, fair
prices. True the figures were better
than the populist commissioners pald
but they were not at all unreasonable
This contract was let without any
agreement or consultation OF any kind
with this paper, but was made solely
between the commissioners and the
Dispatch. After this was done the
commissioners asked the writer what
he would charge for publishing the
proceedings, etc, and the answer was,
for the same as the Dispatch GETS
This was agreed to, and that's all the
story. If there was any deal OF any
kind, 1t must have been made with
the consent of two republican com
missionera, but there was not, and the
Dispatch as usual gives its party a
slap when it asked the question it
did, and then dropped the natter

EAST Us. WEST.

It has been often asserted in the West
and as often denied in the East that the
decentralization of silver was an Eastern
and foreign creditor trick against the
debtor West; that its purpose was not to
secure a stsound money" system for
when the act of 1873 was passed silver
was sounder, or more valuable under the
ratio than gold-but to double the value
of debts by halving the volume of metal
money they were payable in; and that
the effect of the measure would be TO en-
ormously enrich the moneyed creditor
section of the country at the expense of
the debtor sections.
1t was further asserted in the West
that the East would forget and forego all
party differences when the money ques-
ton was involved and support or oppose
presidential candidates on the coinage
issue alone. In plain words, that east
ern Democrats would vote for Repub-
lican rather than foe a Democrat who is
in favor of undoing the wrong of 1878,
and that eastern Republicans would
deal similarly with Republican candi-
date The Post Dispatch is authority for
the statement that Senator Sherman now
admits that all this was and is true aud
says:
If the supreme question in the contest
of next year is to be the money question,
eastern Democrats and Republicans will
be found standing side by side and vot-
ing for the same candidate-that eandi-
date being person known to be hostile
to any restoration, complete or partial, of
silver to it's ancient place and function in
our money system.
The northeast cares little for Democ-
racy or Republicanism. 1t is neither
Democratic nor Republican, and yet it Is
both. 1t is above parties. Instead of
belonging to one or the other, it assumes
that both belong to itself, and that which
ever is in power for the time being must
be and shall be subject to its authority.
1t is to be fight between the east and
the west, or. rather, between the north
all the rest; and it is to be a strug
gle for the ownership of the coun-
try. Already the control of the whole
country has well-nigh passed into the
hands of the northeast creditor section.
The demonetizing act of 1878 was so in
genious in its iniquity and 30 far-reach-
ing in its effects, and it has been used so
remorsely, both against the people and
against the government, by the classes
who were to be and are TO be the bene-
ticiaries OF it, that all the great instru
mentalities aud agencies of production,
distribution and commandment the
profit yielding properties of the country
are very largely owned or controlled
in the northeastern states, in which
less than one-third of the population is
found.

THE Topeka JOURNAL printed two col
umns of news about the Kansas meeting
in Chicago and never mentioned Burton's
name. Such petty methods are not cred
table to a paper that boasts that it al
ways prints the news-Fort Scott Moni-

The above is plain case of lying. The
only stwo columns" that the STATE Jour-
NAL published about the Kansas meeting

toned Burton several times. The editor
of the Monitor had the good fortune to
once attract notice by singing stones at

Celebrate the Centennial of Our
Commercial Liberty ON Dec. 10.
It seems to be generally agreed, at
this late day, that to John Jay, first
chief justice of the United States, has
not generally been accorded the credit
that should be his for his immense serv-
ices in securing the adoption of the IA
NOUS Jay treaty in 1875, by which war
between the United States and England
was avoided and the ports of Great
Britain and all her colonies were thrown
open to the ships Of the United States
And, in fact, his countrymen have been
singularly remiss in this matter during
the past hundred years, though it is now
proposed to commemorate his work in
really fitting fashion on Dec. 10. On
that date banquet will be given in
New York to most distinguished COM
pany of men by the publisher of new

to too many men and their places were
filled by whisky men.
t'The reason my brother testified that
l was spotter was because he was at

me not to do it. He said that if I did SO

way. He has introduced bill. which
provides that no person shall receive a

property to the value of $4,000. or net
annual income exceeding $780, not in

THE tide seems to have turned at last.
The Democrats have carried Boston,
electing everything from members of the
school board to mayor, and have complete
control of the city government. 1t must
be that New England is getting ready to
support Cleveland for the presidency.
He suits them up there. He has made
their money. of which they have more
than all the rest of the country, worth
much more than it was before he became
president, so why shouldn't they vote the
Democratic ticket, if money is their first
consideration.
