At the same time it is shown by the

for only II months of the year, up To
December (s31, e23, 6s2), were greater

National Insecurity Resulting from Ma
chine Methods.
There is growing conviction among
the people of this country that the
party which for SO many years main-
tanned its supremacy has degenerated
beyond the point of ability to properly
manage our public affairs. In this
state the people are grooming under a
burden of taxation such as they have
never before been called upon to bear.
and the farmers, who are in better
position to control the situation than
is any other class, are moving actively
in work of reform. Management OF
cur national affairs by those who have
control of legislation at Washington
is deplorable and disgraceful. 1t has
no parallel in the history of our coun-
try, and all that averts financial panic
is the confidence of business men in the
courage and integrity of the admins
tration. So far as the wishes and the
interests of the people are concerned
they are without representation in
congress.
It is within the power of the free
silver men, who represent but small
fractional part of our population and
vast stretches of unoccupied soil, to
block the course of all legislation, and
they are exercising their power with
a recklessness that is positively Grim
inal. So far as results to the nation
are concerned they have done worthy
service in spiking the guns of the high
protective element that is seeking to
manufacture political strength for its
great high priest; but even this &C:
lacks inherent virtue because it is
simply in pursuance of a pernicious pol
icy to rule or ruin. Business which
should be done with proper regard to
our interests both at home and abroad
is utterly neglected. or it is hopelessly
obstructed by the controlling influence
in the first legislative tribunal in the
land.
The attitude in which the senate of
the United States now presents itself
is that of political freak. The pas
sage of frec-silver bill as part of the
bond bill which originated in the house
was a fitting elimination to debate
during which the most august body
in our scheme of government sat for
two hours without protest listening to
a speech that would have brought dis
grace to the pyrotechnical orator in
