THE TARIFF HUMBUG.

The republicans proclaim loudly that
protection is the one and only issue, the
holy of holies, the ark of the covenant as
it were. How hypocritical is this pre-
tenc plainly appears when they are
called on to choose between protection
and the single gold standard. The other
day, in the Kentucky legislature. it
seemed as if the race for senator was to
be left between two Democrats, Carlisle
and Blackburn. Immediately the gold
standard Republicans rushed to the sup
port of Carlisle in order to defeat free
silver candidate. Yet Carlisle is the
ablest enemy protection ever had in con-
gress. In fact, he is an ultra free trader.
Evidently the average goldbug is ready
to embrace even free-trader if with him
he can get his darling gold idol. When
Senator Allen made his proposal in the
senate to furnish six Populist votes to the
Republicans to pass their tariff bill if
they would incorporate free silver with it.
they declined with scorn. They prefer to
let even protection go than to grant free
silver. This shows exactly how the wind
blows. The silver people can learn a val
liable lesson from 1.-THE Nonconformist.

by new cause with which we are not

STARTLING FIGURES.

Senator Tillman makes a startling
statement in his article elsewhere in
this issue from the New York World.
The population of South Carolina is
1875, 900 and it's assessed value $685.
100000 1t means that as result of
thirty years labor the people of South
Carolina have only property valued at
1922 person! And in that is included
the value Of the land that was there
to begin on! 1t means. if there was
not dollar of public or private debt,
that the people have received and
been able to lay above food and cloth
ing, only 81 a year per person. And
the claim that the people live eX
travagantly is hardly applicable to
the people there, for rags and hunger
have been the rule since the war.
That the people have made hundreds
OF millions of wealth more than they
consumed none but fool will deny.
but it has all gone to keep up 4 horde
of robbers in the cities, because II"
money the railroads and -
sources Of prod uction and cxcll

drivers in South Carolina now than
before the war. but they are richer

Quite number of our friends are

the national convention July %.

PLANTATION.
The arrangement made by the Ma
tional committee of the Peoples party
with the Silver men is simply that the
Silver men meet in one hall and the
Populists in another. Each conven-
tion will run it's own affairs and make
its own platform. and then Joint COM
mittees will be appointed to agree, if
possible, on Joint ticket for presi-
dent and for vice-president. II the
men chosen can stand on our platform
they are POpulists and will run as
Populists.
No one need fear that men will be
either Of the old parties.
Many able men now training under
the Cleveland-Sherm IN Carlisle Nc
Knley crowd are disgusted with their
present position and are only seeking
a convenient bridge that will carry
them into the Peoples Party camp.
Why not let them use the silver
question for that purpose? Why burn
The bridge before it is built?
Our friends who fear that the con-
Servative element will contSol the
Peoples party convention and try to
trim down the Omaha platform can
lllay their feelings also. The trim
mers" in our ranks are so few and far
"etween as to WELD no influence. And
even here the Silver convention will
help the middle Of the road men. The
fellows who are conservative and
weak in the back will not be present
in the regular convention when they
meet with the slvor men, and thus
an element that might try to cut
down the Omaha demands will not be
in the convention to insist (n their
demands.
Sound principles are still on top and
will stay there.

We noted the victory of the reform
forces in Duluth, but were not in possess
sion of the particulars until now. They
came in with the freight train as usual.
This time the train was engineered by
M, Wesenberg, that old Duluth war
horse who threatened dire vengeance on
ye editor because depending on the dis
patches we stated that Mr.. Truelson was
elected mayor in spite of the opposition
of every daily and weekly paper in the
city. Bro. Wesenberg is editor of the
Scandinav, red-hot, middle-of-th road
Pop. paper, and this statement hurt his
corns. So he squealed-and justly, too
and wrote letter giving us Hail Colum-
bia, but what is best he gave us the par
ticulafs.
The bosses of both old parties in Duluth
seeing the waning of their power called a
"citiZen's" convention and nominated a
ticket, then held the regular Republican
convention few days later and endorsed
the citizens" ticket. A few sorehead
Republican lawyers who had joined the
Peoples party after they had been laid
out in their convention at the last cleo
tiOn, joined the "citiZenS' movement"
And then movement was started in
favor of Mr.. Truelson and as Mr.. Wesen-
berg writes us 'the people arose in their
majesty-the only majesty that is worth
the name on this planet-and smashed
the whole combine; Republicans, Demo-
Gratis, corporations, bosses, leaders, Of
fice-hoiders, courthouse gang, daily press
all three papers-and all of the weekly
press except the German Volksfreund
and the only Peoples Party paper in Du-
luth, the Scandinav. Without nomina-
ton, without organization, without mon
ey enough to pay car fare to our boys
posting handbills, the victroy of the great
common people is simply wonderful, and
it is the opening gun in the grand battle
which on the Sd of November next will
restore to the people of these United
States their own housekeeping.
The result in figures was 776 majority
for Truelson or a platform demanding
public control of public utilities, against
3,025 Republican majority at the previous
election.
Hurrah for Duluth and hurrah for Mr..
Wesenberg and his Scandinav. There
is very little doubt that Minnesota which
cast S7,931 Peoples Party votes two years
ago will swing into line as a Populist
state this fall.

YOUNG'S PHILOSOPHY,
Star and Kansan.

Star and Kansan.
John Franklin has had a varied car
eer. Two or three years ago he robbed
the depot at Elk Point in this county,
taking among other thinks some Of
the United States mail. He was ar
rested, tried in the district court here
at dependence, and sent to the peni-
tentiary. 1t was his second term in
stripes. When his time expired lie
was arrested by the United States
authorities for robbing the mails and
put in jail at Fort Scott. While there
he, with some other prisoners, made
desperate attempt to escape; and he
nearly killed one of his keepers. He
got away, but was recaptured. The
case against him for robbery failed,
owing TO defective evidence. He was
still held for assaulting and wounding
the officer. Meanwhile his father, a
wealthy citizen Of Indiana, died and
left John all his property. Forthwith
he becomes, instead Of a plain every
day criminal, a distinguished repre-
sentative Of property interests"
What happens then? Why, with all
possible haste, the case against him In
the United States court is dismissed,
and he goes on his way to Indiana re-
joicing. This is no fairy tale. 1t is
an actual record Of what occurred at
Fort Scott this week. John Franklin,
the man who was known to be tough
customer, was kept behind the bars;
but John Franklin, the heir to thous-
ands, the officers Of the law bow low
as they open the prison doors for him,
and perhaps humbly apologize for hav.
ing inadvertently inflicted upon a rich
heir punishment only meant for the
poor. How many sins wealth covers!
My talk sounds to many people dis
contented. Yes it is. And people
who are being oppressed and plum
dered and reduced to beggary while
they work hard, in order that a few
who don't work may become very rich,
ought to become discontented. To be
contented would be to accept slavery.
and took away your watch and purse
would you be contented? Yet the
highwayman has just as much right
to your money, as the money lord has
to grow rich by the products of your
labor, no matter if he does himself
labor. His labor is not as wearisOme
as yours, nor are his hours as long. It
it is not right that minute Of hi,
time should exchange for a day
Of yours. and yet it does. Indeed
some OF them get more wealth in a
minute than you do in year. How

who want to change the system. You

the present social system. Let your

LIQUOR IN SOUTH ROLINA.

Gov. Evans, of South Carolina, shows
in his annual message to the Legisla-
ture that state control and sale of
liquor is good thing, the profits dur
ing the past year on the sale Of less
than million dollars worth having
amounted to nearly 100000. "As
moral reform measure" says the mes
sage, "the dispensary must commend
itself to any unprej JUDGED mind. The
temptations to the use of the state
offered by the saloons have been
swept away, and with it have gone
the games Of billiards, pool, the faro
banks and the corrupt influences Of
the barkeeper in municipal and state
elections. During the late holidays
there occurred only one homicide in
the state, and this was not from
whisky, but an old feud. This record
was never known before. Not case
of the crime for which lynching is re-
sorted to or attempted has occurred
within the past year."

THE DEATH OF BLAINE.
1T LEFT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
WITHOUT A GREAT LEADER.

IT LEFT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
WITHOUT GREAT LEADER.
When Blaine died,-and. the gold
bugs killed him,-the guiding star of
the Republican party went out for
ever. He was the last Roman Of the
Republican party. lad he lived there
would have been no gold raid on the
had. His influence over the Republi-
can party was such that he could
practically control it in an emergency.
And no matter what his faults may
haYe been. his whole public career
shows that his patriotism and states
manship always rose to the occasion
when crisis in the affairs Of the ma
tion was threatened. Evidence has
come TO light of late that shows that
Blaine pr ;ically told the gold specu-
lators or wall street to keep their
hands off the gold reserve, and they
obeyed him. But as soon as he was
out Of the way, both Harrison and
Foster were inveigled in the meshes
of these sharks, toas ted and feasted
and made to commit themselves to
pay gold whenever it was wanted.
Why, in 1890 when Mckinley and
the rest of the Republicans were
framing the famous Mckinley bill,
Blaine had to come in at the last mo-
ment and dicipline the whole lot, or
they would have passed a bill that
would have killed the party for good.
Since Lincoln's death Blaine has
been the genius Of the glory of the
Republican party.
The action in Congress Of the Re-
publican party shows very clearly that
no guiding star is at the helm SO far.
And the party would undoubtedly
have to pass into the wilderness be-
fore it will develope another great
mind to guide its deStiny.-Dr. John
