The Republicans all over the
country are going right ahead with
their state and county conventions,
placing straight Republican tickets
in the field, unmindful of the fact
that the Democrats are claiming
everything in sight and a great
deal that is out of sight. 1t is GUS
tomary for the Democrats to blus-
ter around and elect all their candi-
dates long before the day for voting
rolls around. The Republicans
are too well versed in the art of
campaigning to be frightened by
these wind elections of their oppo-
nents, and will keep on quietly
saving wood and leave the result
to be decided at the ballot-box.
which will be chiefly in favor of
the Republicans.

The Paramount Question.

The question demanding the most
serious consideration Of the masses
of the American people is not the
question of free coinage of silver,
which includes the proposition to
largely increase the circulating
medium Of the country; but how to
create a larger demand for our tn
employed labor. The prosperity
of nation depends on the employ
ment of its people and Il demand
for the products Of labor. Where
labor is fully employed market
and a demand is created for what
toll produces, and with the demand
comes the increase in the prices OF
both labor and commodity. Ii
does not require even an average
intellect to grasp the fact that
money i'll itself has not Il creative
power. The Government might
tomorrow, coin every ounce of sill
yer in the country into dollars, OF
start its presses to work and print
millions Of dollars in paper money
increase the per capita circulation
many times over, and its etfcc
would not create Il demand for la
Dor where there was none before
nor would it swell the price of ;
days wages Of those who have en-
plovmcnt. 1t would not raise th'
price of bushel of wheat nor tn
price of pound of wool, and
like everything else of which Their
is an ovcr-production, it would be
drug on the market and decline il
value because there is no dcnan,
for it.
The first steps towards revival o
the good times the country was en-
, joying for the decade or more pre-
vious to 1898. should be to incrcas
, the demand for home labor by fos
, tering home industries. This ca
only be accomplished by protcctio

Not the Income Tax.

Inc prlnclpaf lallil WIN oclteo-
cratic explanations of the failures
of the party to carry out its pledges
to the people is that they don't ex
plain. The assertion of the Chica-
90 platform that the deficit in the
revenues WAS not the result Of in
sufficient duties on imports, but
because of the decisions of the
supreme court declaring the income
tax unconstitutional, is Il pervcr-
sion of facts and an outrageous re-
Election upon the intelligence and
integrity of the highest tribunal in
the land.
The income tax was calculated
to add something like $50. 900, 900
to the revenues. Leaving out of the
question the unconstit,tionality of
the law, it was Inadequate for the
purpose for which it was made a
part of the conspiracy against the
prosperity of the country, for it
would not have provided anywhere
near enough money to pay the eX-
pcnscs of the government if the Just
obligations of the treasury had been
met.
The policy of piracy and robbery
that has been carried on in every
branch of the government to scale
| down expenditures amounted to a
sum far greater than the expected
receipts from incomes.
Honestly administered. the treas
urv would have had Il shortage OF
