LAKE HERALD TUESDAY, AUGUST, 4, 1890

supplies all the Irvine that IS used ii
the state; and this at a small margin
above cost. This prison Irvine plant
has been the object of very hostile at
tacks by the trust, but the attacks
have been futile; the farmers of the
state have enjoyed too long and know
too well the benefits of cheap Irvine
for the trust to have any influence in
stopping its manufacture at the state
prison. 1t is expected that this year
the prison plant will manufacture and
sell TO the farmers of Minnesota some
100000 pounds Of Irvine. They buy
direct, and by buying in carload lots
get it at about the same price the
dealers do. Very soon a plant for the
manufacture of school furniture and
apparatus will be erected in the Still
water prison for the purpose of manu-
featuring school furniture and appar-
atus, which will free Minnesota from
the grasp of the school furniture
trust
Very much, and with some reason,
has been said against allowing prison
labor to compete with free labor, but
who will say that the prison labor Of
Minnesota that is devoted to the man
ufacture of Irvine is not we'll and profit
ably employed in behalf of the far
mers of the state? A grinding trust
does far more injury to free labor
than all the prison labor in the coun-
try. And trusts do much to fill our

PATRIOTS OR PLUNDERERs.

The New York syndicate of bankers
that recently came to the rescue of the
treasury gold reserve has been given
much praise for its action by the gold
press of the east Their patriotism
has been extolled beyond measure. All
this praise may be deserved; we trust
it is but the New York Commercial
Bulletin of Monday, July 27, in the
course Of a lengthy editorial reviewing
the events of the week in Wall street.
had this to say:
1t is no secret that among the assail-
ants were citizens accustomed to blend
politics with large speculative opera
tions. Men who stand high in party
councils, who distinguished them
selves at the late national conventions,
and who have figured conspicuousiy
before the country as valiant oppo-
nents Of the free coinage heresy, are
cedibly reputed to have been in the
ranks of these millionaire raiders, both
political parties having been equally
represented. Herein lies one of the
most interesting phases of this extra
ordinary feat of buccaneering specuia-
ton The facts reveal a depth OF finan-
cial venality which we had scarcely
been prepared to expect, even in the
moral slums of Wall street. We have
heard Of members of congress and of
high politicians specializing on the
fate of sugar bills ard on the mys-
teries of tariff legislation, and on the
secrets of a0ninistra tive departments,
but it is at least somethign new that
men who are leaders in protecting our
money system should employ them
selves in cree ling panics and endanger-
ing the ability Of the treasury to
maintain gold payments. How near
these high politicians, with their mil
lionaire associates, came to succeed
ing in their attempts to create a seri-
Gus crisis may be inferred from the
fact that in order to restore the COM
fidence they have destroyed, the banks
have deemed it necessary to contribute
$40, 900 to the treasury gold reserve,
while the foreign bankers have inter
vened TO stop gold exports by issuing,
if needs be. SIS, 100000 of bills of ex-
change. These grave precautions are
due almost exclusively to the attempt
of this millionaire combination to sup
ply themselves with stocks at panic
prices. Il a sorry encouragement to
the true d faithful men who are
sacrificing much to protect our finan-
cial interests, to find that even among
their labcCateurs in the case of
sound money, there are those who are
ready to turn great national danger
into an occasion for increasing their
private wealth.
These referred to by the Commercial
Bulletin are much more deserving of
being called plunderers than patriots
"Buccaneering speculation" is the
only term that properly describes the
operations of these patriots

BouRKE cocHRAN,s FEATHER BED


. Brilliant Bourke Cochran has arrang-
Cd feather bed to catch falling Dem
ccrats. He is against Bryan and the
Chicago platform. He declares that the
movement launched at Chicago is an at
tempt to paralyze industry by using
all ahe powers of government to take
property from the hands of those who
created it and place it in the hands of
those who covet it; that this is a ques-
ton of morals as we'll as politics; that
no political convention can issue valid
license to commit offenses against mo-
rality. and that he declines to follow
Mr.. Bryan in crusade against hon
esty and the rights of labor.
When Mr.. Cochran says that the
Democratic campaign this year (and
that is what he means by 1.-The move
ment launched at Chicago,'') is an at
tempt to use all or any of the powers
Of the government to take property
from the hands of those who created it
and place it in the hands of those who
covet it, he simply utters a falsehood
1t is his plan for defeating Bryan and
electing Mckinley that attracts atten-
ton if it does not receive commenda-
ton. 1t is a most beautiful example
of whipping the devil around the stump.
He would call convention of the bolt
ing Democrats and formulate plat
form of principles and vote for McKin-
ley. He says that the election of Nc
Kinley will be the defeat of the silver
movement. That accomplished, "the
Democrats, who will have achieved the
success of their financial plank by the
election of Mckinley, will yet constitute
an opposition to the Republican party
the day after election, based on
principles which are certain to be ulti-
mately adopted by the American peo-
pie. What is needed, therefore, is not
a new ticket, but new platform, which
will declare in unmistakable language
the cardinal features of the party faith,
and which, while endorsing Mckinley
electors, will provide for really Demo
cratic opposition to the Mckinley ad
ministration during the period of its ex-
istenae.''
How very astute this plan shows Mr..
Cochran to be. 1t was stated some
months ago that the distinguished ora
tor and politician was intending to re-
tire from politics, to leave the world
for the cloister and become a Jesuit.
Certainly his plan is exceedingly jusuit-
ical. He proposes that the boiling DEM
ocrats shall strain at a gnat and swal-
low a camel. Why have not he and
those who believe with him the man
hood to come out and say that they will
support Mckinley? They should throw
away their ifs, ands, and butts; cease
their hemming and having; be men or
be mice.

"a report, as yet undenied, comes
from Boston that Senator Frank Can
non, when in that city, announced a
purpose to support Mckinley. The
reason he gave was the very just one
that while he favored the Democratic
financial plank he could not stomach
the rest of the Chicago platform. So
many western Republicans feel the
same way that the Teller bolt has
amounted to nothing, having even
failed to carry the Republican organ
ization in Colorado, and this result has
served to put Mr.. Teller's senatorial
colleagues in most embarrassing
corner. By taking a short cut back
to the Republican party they will make
the best of a bad situation. If Mr..
Cannon shall show the independence
necessary to lead the way the con-
gratulations of his best friends will
not be withheld" says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. Senator Cannon's let
ter settles all such rumors. He is
for Bryan and Sewall.

TALE OF CoL0RADO's MINER AL.
WEALTH.

The Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegra
says that Mr.. Lyme S. Newell, general
manager of several Colorado gold
mines, in which Pittsburghers are
largely interested, is in Pittsburg. He
said that the annual gold output of the
United States amounts to about $40,-
100000 per year, but if Mckinley is
elected it can be increased to about
800, 100000 yearly. This, Mr.. Newell
thinks, is an answer to the contention
raised by the silver men that the sup
ply of gold is diminishing. He says
the amount of silver produced in Colo
RADIO yearly is about 500, 600 worth,
but under a free silver regime at a
price of $1.29 per ounce, the output
would probably realize 5000, 900 per
year. He thinks the free coinage of
silver would work a great hardship on
the laboring classes
Mr.. Newell should be better informed.
Colorado produces no such amount of
silver as he says. In 1894, according
to the report of DirectorAof the Mint
Preston, that state produced 2S.2S1. Sss
fine ounces of silver, of the coming
value of sSs, 592, III Mr.. Newelrs
statement is absurd in the extreme and
it should shame him to see it in print.
He says that if Mckinley is elected

~AssAILING. THE SUPREME COURT.

The virulence of the hatred of some
of the gold papers against the Chicago
platform and candidates not infre-
quently takes the form of insane raw
ings. Thus the New York Commercial
Advertiser says that lin assailing the
supreme court and threatening TO pack
it with their own creatures if they
ever get into power, Bryan and his as
sociate demagogues show that they
recognize this eminent tribunal as a
most formidable obstacle to their
/ schemes of revolution and confiscation.
| Since the supreme court tnwarted the
/ Socialists by declaring the income tax
unconstitutional they have regarded
it with vindictive hatred The chagrin
of the Populistic politicians OF the
south and west at the failure of their
project TO take thirty or forty millions
of dollars yearly from the pockets of
northern and eastern thrift is as in
tense now as it was on the day when
the court rendered its memorable deci-
sion against this sectional and iniquit-
Gus measure. That decision was such
a signal service to the cause of Ameri-
canisln and justice that the commun-
lists and regulators who are leading
the free silver movement will never
forget IL or condone it,
That is but the insane raving of a
maddened man. There is no attack in
the Chicago platform upon the supreme
court; nor is there any threat Ito pack
it. So far as an income tax is con-
cerned the Chicago platform did de-
clare in favor of it,
The Advertiser says that the supreme
court is the strongest legal bulwark
of the constitutional authority Of the
federal government, and that as a
stronghold of law and properly rights,
the court is especially obnoxious in the
eyes of the "Populists at Chicago and
the Populists at St Louis" There was
no Populislt convention at Chicago, as
all know.
1t may be set down as an undisputed
fact that there is no party in the Unit
ed States that desires to attack the
supreme cour. of the United States,
est esteem. If that tribunal had up
held the constitutionality of the in
come tax provision of the Wilson-Gor-
man law, it is safe to say that the
gold press would have been anything
but so laudatory and adulatory as it
is of that august body Its praise is
not the praise of partisanism, but of
a fawning money power that escaped
the just burdens that should have been
placed upon it; that is ali The func-
ton of the supreme court of the United
States is to determine what is the law
under the constitution, not to make
laws or TO formulate policies. In this
connection it is well 20 recall the
words of the great Lincoln regarding
the supreme court and the fixing of
governmental policies:
at the same time, the candid cifi-
zen must confess that if the policy
of the government upon vital ques-
tfons affecting the whole people is
to be irrevocabIy fixed by decisions
of the supreme court, the instant
they are made in ordinary Iitiga ton
between parties in personal actions,
the people Will have ceased to be
their rulers, having to that extent
practically resigned their govern
Eient into the hands of that eminent
tribunal.

TRUSTS AND PRISON LABOR.

Up in Minnesota prison labor is being
utilized to down one or two trusts,
notably the cordage and school furni-
ture trusts. At the Saltwater prison
there are some six hundred prisoners.
They are very largely engaged in the
making of Irvine, which is one of the
chief needs of the Minnesota farmers;
they use it for binding the sheaves of
wheat in their fields. The trust con-
trolled and put the price of Irvine at
figures to suit itself. which price was
SO heavy that the farmers could not
afford TO pay it. Three years ago the
manufacture of Irvine was begun in
the Saltwater prison, and today it

Major Handy says that twenty-five
thousand dollars would have prevented
the nomination of Bryan at st. Louis
and shivered the Populist organiza-
ton to smithereens. In other cam
paigns the managers of the other
great political parties have not hest
tated to make such an expenditure for
such a purpose, but Major Mckinley
and Mr.. Hanna do not believe in using
money in that way. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that while in an explanatory
mood the major did not tell how Nc
KinIey and Hanna do believe in using
money.

TROUBLE WITH STRIKERS.

Again there is trouble with the strik-
ers at the Brown hosting works in
Cleveland. Non-union men in going
to work have to be guarded by militia
and police. That there was no alterca-
ton between them and the union men is
owing to the presence of the militia
and police. When men have to work
under such conditions matters are Sc
rious One would think that in such
dull times as these men would be very
loath to go out on strike, for they
cannot but know that for every man
who quits work there are half dozen
ready and anxious to take his place.
Aud these men who are ready and
anxious to take the places of strikers
protected in it. A common notion of
strikers is that their rights are great
er than other peoples. 1t is a false
one, of which they should disabuse
their minds.
This strike at the Brown hosting
works bids fair to become a very Sc
rious matter. Already the men en-
ployed by another company, hardware
manufacturers, have gone out on
sympathetic strike That is the way
the great trouble of two years ago
began when sympathetic strikes in be-
half of the Pullman employees were
inaugurated. How extensive they be-
came and how dfsastrously they ended,
the public we'll knows. If this sympa-
thetic strike at Cleveland shall spread
over the whole country, then there
is much trouble ahead. 1t is very
much to be hoped that it will not.
A sympathetic strike is about as
wise as Joining a suicide club

production of gold in the United States
can be increased to s1O0. 200, 900. If that
is so, why cannot it be increased to
the same amount If Bryan is elected?
Would he have it inferred that if
Bryan is elected gold will be demone-
tized?
1t is very evident that Mr Newell
has been unconsciously stuffed by
some Of the jovial miners of Colorado,
and he in turn is trying to stuff his
Pittsburg friends.

LANGUAGE OFF THE EYES.

o, praise me not with your lips, dear
one,
Though your tender words l prize;
But dearer by far is the soulful gaze
of your eyes, your beautiful eyes,
Your tender, loving eyes.
o, chide me not with your lips, dear one,
Though L cause your bosom signs;
You can make repentance deeper far
By your sad. reproving eyes,
Your sorrowfui, troubled eyes.
Words, at the best, are but hollow
sounds,
Above in the beaming skies,
The constant stars say never a word,
But only smile with their eyes
Smile on with their lustrous eyes.
Then breathe no vow with your lips, dear
one,
On the winged wind speech flies,
But l read the truth of your noble heart
In your soulful, speaking eyes
In your deep and beautiful eyes.
