Why Cabinet Members viii Take the

Why Cabinet Members viii Take the
stump for ''Sound Money"
W. sHINGToN, d. c., Aug. 24.-Al-
though the report from Kentucky that
Secretary Carlisle will take the stump
for the Democratic Sound Money
ticket when nominated cannot be con-
firmed because OF the Secretary's re-
fusal to discuss politics in any way
at this time. there are the best rea
sons for believing that he and other
members of the Administration will
actively participate in the campaign.
For Il Cabinet member to go on the
stump may be regarded by some as
offensive partisanship" within the
meaning of some of President Cleve-
lands's famous circulars on this sub
juct. but there are others who hold
that the Administration will be en-
tirely justified in trying to secure Il
v~indication of its conduct even
through the election OF Mckinley.
The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1896-08-29

The effect of the Democratic admin
istration and its hard times tariff leg
islation is shown in the increase of
foreclosures OF railroads. These
have been unexpectedly large since
1895. but the record for the first half
of 1896 exceeds that of 1895. This
year there were p lines forecloSed in
six months, representing 3,402 miles
of road and s349. 049. 900 of bonds and
stocks. During the first half of 1885
there were 20 roads foreclosed. rep
resenting 1886 miles of road and
800, III. GOO of bonds and stocks. This
latest Democratic addition to adver-
sity should leave no doubt in the
minds OF any railroad men that a
policy of American protection means
prosperity for railroads. Even Pres
ident Roberts OF the Pennsylvania
road. which has suspended many con-
templated improvements owing to
hard times. ought by this time to ac-
knowledge the root OF the evil that IS
affecting his company.

it is to De hoped that the Republic
cans in their township meetings Sat
urday will be careful in the selection
of delegates 20 the county convention.
The candidates for the various county
Offices should not be consulted nor
should they have anything to say
about who shall or who shall not be
delegates. There are good men offer
ing themselves for Office and there will
be little troublein TOminatinga strong
ticket if the right kind of men are Sc
lected as delegates TO the nominating
convention. The delegates elected
should he me who VIII not allow per-
sonal friendship and personal prefer
Observation-Disclosures They should
be men who will consider the interests
of the taxpayers and the welfare of
the Republican party first and person
al friends next. We have Il safe Re
publican majority in the county and
we can eleet the Republican ticket
from top to bottom if we will nomi-
nate the rig!Ts men.

The Populist-D Democrats are anxious
to see the minis 1T work. The Kansas
City Star calls attention to the fact
that If the minis were TO run every
hour for the next ten wears. their out
put would not pass into the hands Of
the people save by the legitimate pro-
cesses of trade or labor" The mills
are what we need running. Let the
minis alone: they will take care of
themselves. Put the mills running
again and pile the dinner pail OF the
workingman full of the products of the
farmer. That's the remedy for hard
times. An honest dollar and the
chance to earn it is what our people
need. Less foreign goods in our stores
and houses. more food in our
smoke house and better times every
where.
