The Crying Need.
Deli Rapids Tribune.


The stagnation in all lines of bust
ness in this country during the past
two or three years is directly due to
the policy of buying too much from
foreign countries and sending our
money out to pay foreign labor.
There is urgent necessity for a new
tariff that will protect American in
dustries and not only provide suf-
hcient revenue to raj the govern
ment, but pay off the public debt.
There IS no reaso why this country
should not pay off its debt as rapidly
as its bonds matu Z. The policy of
paying off the public debt in times
of peace is one hat has been adopt
ed and followed BY all the great
nations of the world. There is one
thing certain, howev err and that is
that there is no danger OF. a Surplus
in the treasury for several years to
come.

little, in fact no Legislative exper-
fence, realize very soon hat what

Calhoun appears to be passing
away"

about right.

We continue to hear, through free
silver organs and orators, of the won
derful growth and prosperity of
Mexico, all credited, of course, to
silver recommendation. 1t is strange
we never heard of this wondrous
prosperity until it was needed as an
argument to boost the cause of free
silver. Quotations are freely made
from Mexican journals ~evidencing
how happy and prosperous they are
in that country where human labor
is cheaper than horse-feed. No mat
ter what these journals believe of the
financial policy of Mexico, they are
allowed to say nothing in opposition
and must continue 10 pirate of their
srock-bed Of white metal and to
advocate immigration. That is their
mission-to boom Mexico and induce
suckers to emigrate from the U. s.
How the owners Of these papers
must laugh in their sleeve to see
the free silver sheets in this coun-
try seconding their efforts. The
strangest feature Is that not one of
the free silver organs now preach
ing Mexico could be induced to
publish 4 line calling attention to
the prosperity of Missouri or Man
itoba AID yet there Is little differ
enee between the stories that boom
sheets in these localities tell and
those of the Republic of Mexico.

Silver Jo'' gave utterauce to an unjust re-
mark when he said that efforts had not been
put forth TO secure him an audience. The
truth of the matter is that he had a good house
for Bristol-and he would have been the first
TO admit it, had he been well-informed upon
the subject.-Bristolite.
This remark is only one of that
monometallic mountebank's stock
plants. His first nov in every town
is to declare that the papers have
misrepresented him that efforts
have been put forth to obstruct him /;
and to appear a martyr generally.
In Webster, he posed as a non-par-
tisan ; in Waubay. as a Republican !;
and on being smoked ont, declares
in a letter to the Grant County Re-
view that he is a populist. No one
who has ever heard him thought
him otherwise, and having declared
himself, he will certainly be accord
ed a more respectful hearing than
when pirating around under false
colors. Having thus cleared his
conscience, he car proceed through
the country with his bank account
and new little red wagon, preaching
free silver and populism at IS per
preach.

Canton Advocate.

A story is going the rounds that
Cora Belle Fellows, who married a
half breed on the reservation several
years ago, is in distress, Chaska, her
husband, having deserted her and
married a squaw. The report speaks
of Cora "a young and romantic girl
at the time of her marriage. The
story sounds well but is several
miles off on facts. "Cora'' was a
giddy old girl on the shady side of
forty at that time, with a face that
would stop a clock, and the only
surprise is hat Sam Chaska lived
with her as long as he did. Sam was
a young fellow less than 81 years of
age, and Cora was old enough to be
his mother. He was trapped into
the marriage-so we believed at the
time-as a self-respecting Indian
with all his senses about him would
have thought quite a while ere tying
himself for life to that ancient female.
The writer was editor of the Forest
City Press that year, and Cora and
her unfortunate spouse were often
visitors at our office-and we know
whereof we speak.

Honesty at st. Louis.
LssIie's Weekly.

Leslie ; weekly.
LII some of the newspapers are to
be credited, the country is likely to
be treated to a spectacle of insincer-
ity and infdelity to engagements, on
the part of some of the delegates to
the st. Louis convention, which will
be anything but creditable to the
parties in question. In a good many
states, delegates have been elected
under explicit pledges that they will
give their support to Mckinley. In
some cases, these pledges have been
given voluntarily /; in others, they
have been made as the result of
specific Instructions dictated by over
whelming majorities of their con-
s%tituents. But we are told that
these instructions and the public sen
timent behind them are to be entire
ly disregarded. Delegates whose
m are given, some of whom
have been prominent in affairs, pro.
pose deliberately to put contempt
upon the popular will and vote to
suit the demands of party bosses who
have been unable to secure coveted
recognition"
1t goes without saying that such a
violation of deliberate engagements,
and such defiance of the party feeling
on the part of any delegate who
claims responsibility of character,
will be sure to provoke deep and
well-founded resentment. Every
member of the Republican party has
a right to his opinion as t o the wis
dom of the nomination of one candi-
date or another, but no member of
the party who accepts a representa-
tive position as delegate, with the
understanding that he shall carry
out the wishes of his constituency,
has a right to pursue an opposite
course, and to voice his own indi-
vidual sentiment in the relation he is
to fill in the national convention. 1t
ought to be understood, too, that n
treason of this sort will be sure in
the end to enure to the advantage
rather than TO the hurt of the candi-
dates who may be betrayed by facile
and supple instruments of any parti-
san oligarchy intent upon unworthy
personal ends.
The masses of the Republican
party clio not mean t be defrauded
or cheated at St. Louis they pro-
pose to require at the hands Of every
nan to whom they have committed
any responsibility the exactest full
fllnent of his obligations, and they
mean that the candidate whose nom
ination they believe to be best for
the country and the party shall be
nominated in spite of traitors, COM
bines, and all the horde of self-seek-
ing p%artisaus who. being incapable
OF appreciating principle, would sac
rifce the highest interests of the
party and the country for the sake
of petty personal gain.
