Ex-President Harrison has evidently
determined that for him st least the
post Of honor is the private station and
he possesses the faculty OF saying what
he wants to say in a manner at once
50 direct and conclusive as TO leave no
doubt OF his meaning. When he de-
oided not 10 be a candidate again for
the presidency he said 50 in a dignihed
and convincing manner and he has just
declined to be considered as candidate
for United States senator in the same
unequivocal way. There are many peo-
pie who will regret his determination
to refuse all further public position. but
they can but respect the motive which
prompts the refusal. That he can serve
his country. as he says. by what he
may say or write on public questions
while a private citizen. he has already
demonstrated. and the country win be
glad to hear from him In the future.

Shoppers Have Memories.

Mrs. j. Ellen Eos Ter of the e-Woman's 4
Republican Association says ..these
last years ofindustrial depression have
set many women to thinking with good
effect, and the Republican party will
reap the benefit of it in the coming
campaign"
This statement of Mrs. Foster is not
in harmony with another statement she
has made to th effect that women are
learning how to think clearly and log
ically.
Four years ago the women were
credited with much of the work which
resulted In the defeat of the Republi-
can party. 1t was said that the shop
pers did it. McKinleyism was re-
sponsible for the opposition of the
shoppers to the Republican party.
The women found that McKinleyism,
while it put no more money in the
purses of their husbands, but on the
other hand caused industrial depres-
sion, strikes and labor riots, took more
money out of their purses by high
prices, the excess of which over the
value of the goods went into the pock-
cts of favored manufacturers.
Mrs. Fosters belief that the women
will help the party which chooses az
| it's candidate the author of Mckinley
| ism, from the effect of which have
come the ..last dismal years of indus
trial depression" is reflection on the
thinking capacity and the consistency
of the women. Neither the men nor
the women of this country can forget
the ills that Mckinley brought upon
them.-St. Louis Republic.

NUMBER 81.

are very much to blame for any failure
of railroad rates to come down. The
duty on coal makes fuel cost more te
the railroads, and thus increases the
amount they must charge for hauling
the farmers grain.
The duty on iron ore enables the iron
ore trust of which Mckinley S manager
is the head. to raise prices to the pig
iron trust. This trust advances mil.
lions to the ore men and then charges
the steel billet trust twice as much
more.
The steel billet trust advances the
millions to the ore trust, the pig iron
trust, and then makes the steel rail
trust repay it plus millions more.
Then the steel rail trust compels the
railroads to pay the tribute to itseli
and all the other trusts clear back to
the beginning. To the Japanese the
steel rail trust sells at $21.25 ton; to
Americans at $28. So it seems that
the individual stealings of the rail trust
are 81 a ton or more. Calculating the
profits of the other trusts at even half
of this, the amount of tribute exacted
by these millionaire monopolists is
simply astounding.
Who pays this tribute? Surely the
railroad can not be expected to paw
out all this money for the tariff barons.
They simply add it to cost of building
the road and transportation. Then
every man who sends his goods over
the railroad has to pay higher rate
in order that the tribute may be paid
to the trusts.
The coal trust, the iron ore trust,
the pig iron trust, the steel billet trust.
the steel rail- trust, the bolt and nut
trust, the nail trust, and every trust
on to the end of the list, grows rich by
raising the prices of their goods OUT
rageously. This exoribtant price in
creases the cost of building, equipping,
and operating the railroads. It is
paid for in high railroad rates by the
people.
The people can not shift the burden
of this enormous tribute to anybody
else. The farmers especially can not
fix the prices of their products. They
lose every cent that freight costs. The
trusts, however, get the money. Pro-
tected by the tariff from legitimate
competition they rob the people at
will. If the people want to be robbed
there is no surer way to do it than to
vote for Mckinley, who will make
railroad rates even higher.-K. C.

The Man from Mars IN st. Louis.

If an intelligent stranger from the
planet of Mars should visit st. Louis
now for the purpose of Investigating
the American method of selecting a
President, he would encounter one fact
likely to baffis his powers of compre-
hension.
On every side he would find evidence
that mastery intellect has been shap-
ing events during the past six months.
Nothing has been left to be determined
by chance or by frantic exertion at the
last moment. Everything has been
foreseen and provided for. The most
artistic performance of the century in
the way of political organization has
moved on smoothly and serenely to-
ward the pre-arranged denouement.

Railroad Rates.

Railroad rates in the opinion of the
farmers are too high. This does not
mean that the railroads are making too
much money. for everybody knows that
the railroads that are paying respecta-
BILE dividends are exceedingly rare.
The farmers insist, however, that rates
are too high, but while they are right
in this. they do not appear to see why
rates are high.
