Mortgaged to Tariff BarOns.

The VOICE referred few issues
back to the letter of Senator Chand-
Ter, in which he called a halt on Nc
Kinley's managers for getting "fat"
from the manufacturers to pay the
expenses of his campaign for NOM
ination. Senator Chandler claimed
that Mark A. Hanna, McKinley's
chief manager, himself prominent
manufacturer, was raising fund Of
a quarter of million dollars from
the manufacturers with which to de-
fray expenses and buy delegates. He
thought it was illegitimate to do this
before the convention. This charge
has never been denied that we have
seen. Indeed it is quite sure that
Mckinley has had large sums Of
money to expend in behalf of his
nomination. Only two years back
he was a bankrupt and his friends
had to come to his relief to put him
on his feet.
There is nothing much surer than
that the manufacturers are making
Mckinley president in order to reap
a rich harvest. Mckinley himself
is mere hgure-head in their hands.
If anyone,,imagines that these fellows
are going to give their extra profits
to the wage earners, let them beware.
1t is a scheme to use the American
congress as tool by which they can
hold up the already tax-ridden, pow.
erty' stricken masses, and pick theil
pockets collectively.
Mr.'O'Brien Moore, special cor.
respondent of the St. Louis Republic
wrote to his paper last Sunday from
Washington as follows:
The success of the Mckinley cam
paign shows what wonderful factor
In politics the 6arons are. They have
knocked out the favOrite sons and the,

less that astute politician capitulate,
before he is openly defeated. The biz,
terness OF the bosses against McKinle,
is very refreshing. 1t also throw,
some light on the true inwardneSs q,
Republican policies. Reed and ALI
son and CullOm and their follower,
are making no secret of the fact now
rather they are openly charging. that
Mckinley has mortgaged himself b
the manufacturers, aud that if he be.
comes President the manufacturers
will make tariff bill that the influ.
ence Of the Mckinley administration
Will be expected to force throgh Con-
greSs.
Some Of the Republican statesmen
have the idea in their heads that bro.
lection can be carried too far. They
recall the revolt of the people of 1890
and 1892, and they fear that with Nc
hlnieyism rampant, other Republican
! defeats will follow. II gees without

standard, neighbor? What do you
think will be the result when Johnnie
Bull gets all of his securities refund

of that. Don't you think it is about
time we were manifesting our indie

A non-partisan tariff convention
is to be held in Detroit, May 26. The
object is to discuss ways and means
for taking the tariff question out of
partisan politics and making 1t a
business question. This is step in
the right direction. While We have
tariff system let US make the best
oft. There is no good sense in put
ting the manufacturing industries on
the rack Of uncertainty every two
years. Let tariff scedule be perma-
nent for ten years at least, and the
business of the country will adjust
itself to it. Tariff agitation would
in manner cease, and the people
could get at the real causes of their
trouble.

Up in Topeka they are trying to
refund some school bonds. The
school board was stricken agbast
last Monday night when Edward
Wilder told them he had found i,
impossible to sell the bonds unless
they were made payable in gold.
The City of Wellington has $72,
500 in school bonds outstanding
just beginning to mature. All will
have come due by 1910. The CITY
has also $5S,5OO municipal bonds an
preaching maturity, The county is
saddled with S8O6,6Os in bonds.
Should We have to refund some OF
them, which We will, it will be neces.

Kansas POpuliSt Platform.

"Reaffrming our faith in the Peoples party
and its principles, We invite the alliance and
cooperation Of all reform elements Of the
state and nation, to the end that a union of
all voters may be formed to oppose the gold
standard and the European level of prices; We
call the attention of the American people to
the fact, proved by many trials, that changes
from one party to the other have brought no
relief from the burdens under which the
people are struggling, but thaton the contrary
conditions have constantly grown worse; and
we,ask all lovers of their country to unite
with us in an honest and earnest effort for
relief.
First-We are in favor of the strictest hon
esty and economy in the administration Of
the government, both state and national.
SeCOnd-We are 10 favor Of the overthrow
and destruction of all mOn1pOhes and com
bines organized for the plumber ana oppression
of the people
Thrd-We demand strict and effective con-
troll and supervision by government of all cor
p0ratiOns performing pubic or quasi-public
functions, and if necessary, to protect public
interests, the ownership by government of all
Fourth-We demand that the president and
the secretary Of the treasury be deprived of
the power to issue or sell bonds without the
authority Of congress being first given for
ca III separate issue.
Fifth-We believe that the money of the
country, whether coin or paper, should be is
sued by the government and not by corpora
lions or by individuals.
SiXth-We demand the free and unlimited
coinage Of both gold and silver at the ratio OF
sixteen to one, independent Of the action of
any other nation, and we believe that the
United States is capable of maintaining such
a financial system as will promote the pros
perity Of its own people, without asking the
consent Of any other government.
Seventh-We demand that the constitutional
right Of trial by jury shall be extended to ey
cry form OF action, whether civil or criminal
and we denOunce the trial of our citizens by
injunction and contempt proceedings without
the right of trial by jury as contrary to the
spirit Of our constitution.

The republicans Of Anegany county, Mary
land. held their convention at Cumberland
yesterday and elected six delegates to the
state convention. Resolutions were passed
In favor Of Mckinley for President and the
delegates were instructed fer Senator-elect
Wellington for delegate-at-large.
Somerset, the first of the republican coun-
ty conventions on the eastern shore, adopt
ed resolutions favoring Mckinley for Pres
ident to the great surprise of the friends
of Reed, who had been counting on the
eastern shore men being for the Maine man.
Another surprise was the adoption Of reso-
buttons by the Somerset convention con-
graduating Wellington upon his elevation
to leadership in the state.
The republican convention Of Utah has
elected Frank J. Cannon, Arthur Brown,
c. E. Allen, Isaac Trumbo, w. r. McCor-
mick and Thomas Kearnes as delegates to
the st. Louis convention. The platform de-
clared for protection reciprocity and free
coinage of silver.
The republicans of the seventh Alabama
congressional district met at Gadsden yes
terday to select delegates to st. Louis.
There was split and Reed and Mckinley
delegates were chosen by opposing factions.
