Charges are even openly made that
Watson has deliberately sold himself
to the Hannacrats for a consideration,
that every letter to the New York
World, gold paper, Of which he has
written many, attacking Sewall, has
been paid for with a price. We are

the less certain that Watson has made
an ass of himself with ears big enough

pulling him of, whether it does it OF

IT seems very strange almost ghastly
to hear republicans defending re-
glme Of low prices. They are now
placarding the whole United StaCes
with, comparisons of prices on various
articles Of merchandise in the United
States and IN Mexico showing that
prices are much higher there. Hutch
lnson has several of these posted lists.
Relative to this it might be we'll to
quote McKinlev's utterances Of six
years ago. On May 7, 1890, in the house
Of representatives as shown by the
Congressional record page A, 255, volume
81, first session ffty-tirst Congress he
said: "When merchandise is che cheap
est, men are the poorest, and the most
distressing experiences in the history
of our country, aye, in all human his
tory, have been when everything was
the lowest and cheapest measured by
gold, for everything was the highest
and dearest When measured by labor"
The contention for protective tariff has
always been collated with a defense Of
high prices.

The New York World, one of the
strongest supporters OF the gold stand
ard in that metropolis has charged that
Mckinley has but one way tosave him
self from defeat; that is to take strong
and unmistakable ground against
trusts. The World charges that in bis
vigorous and trenchant language 90
the attitude of monOpolies toward the
people Mr.. Bryan has won thousands
to his cause and that the only way No
Klnley can win them back is to initiate
him. This is perhaps apoliticians way
of viewing the situation and unless Nc,
Kinley fully expect to carry out his
pledges against the trusts it Is cons
mendable in him that he makes none.
1t seems to be true that Mr.. Bryan ia
developing strength in the states east
of Illinois that was not expected and if
he should get anything In the states Of
the east 1t will be quite as much due to
the contrasted attitude between him
self and Mckinley on the great COM
bines as on the silver question. The
people Of the east have had compare
lively little instruction on. the silver
question. They have been following
their leaders all of whom have pointed
to it as a thing of terror and fear for
ever. But they know the deVilishness
of the great combines as we'll as any
one. They feel their effects every time
they buy a bushel OF coal, and every
time they buy a quart Of oil they think
of Mark Hama. They know how all
these institutions have contributed to
McKinley's campaign and they know
he can not go back on his friends
Men seldom do anything for the peO-
pie after election that they did
not tell them about before election.
AS Mckinley will not say word I'M
favorable to the trusts they know just
what to expect. These are facts which
will be we'll thought of in the east.

TIE REVENuE THEORY.

IT is we'll understood by all silver
people that the responsibility for the
ssddling of 1921 millions of bonds upon
our country for our posterity to pay, is
In the existing gold standard. Repub-
licans do not like TO face it and the
only reply they have is that these bond
issues were caused by a deficit in rev.
enues due to the Wilson tariff law. 1t
is indeed lame defense and we should
drive it at them hard here. The rev.
enues of this country are only small
part paid in gold. Treasury depart
ment circular No. 1913, issue July lst,
1896, page So, shows that out of total
revenue income of $49l ,OOO, 900, for
three years from July l, 1893 to July /,
1896, only S46, 100000 we're paid in gold
or gold certificates. This is less than
one-tenth. Page 50 of the same cir
cular, shows that during the same
period there were more than $3.50, 0O0,'
600 of United States notes redeemed
in gold, and therefore that amount Of
gold vas drawn out Of the treasury,
Now on this basis, receiving the same
proportion Of gold money for revenues
it would have been necessary to have
raised ten times the amount of rev.
enue we have done or ten times S49l,-
100000 in order to have by tariff legis
lation avoided bond issues. In other
words, we would have been required
to raise 10 times as much revenue as il
necessary to run the government. This
is the elimination of absurdities, and
the acme of folly. But it is all the de-
Tense they have.

electors on the regular populist ticket
and the democratic ticket are the same
men, vO:e for these electors on either
ticket is q vote for Bryan, But since
on the middle Of the road ticket, there
is an entirely different set of men,
who have no more show of election
than Mark Hanna has Of walking the
gold paved streets of the New Jerusa-
lem, a vote for them is in reality half
a vote for Mckinley, in as much as it
takes vote away from Bryan. While
it g likely that very few will make any
such mistake as this, yet reports are
coming to state headquarters that some
popullsts have the wrong view Of it.
GG should be made plain.

THE middle Of the road populist
ticket with Bryan and Watson electors,
has been filed. The petitioners have
claimed over nine hundred names, but
of these about nine hundred are with
out much doubt republicans. The
movement consists of the sore, the lame,
the blind, the sour and the sons O. guns.
Chief among the latter are Rightmire
and Bennington; chief among the first is
Willets, and there are aboutO one to each
class. IG twill hardly exceed that. The
only show for it to cut any figure is the
fact that some reckless, careless voters
who wish to vote the populist ticket
straight might get started on it unwit-
ingly, for surely there are no populista
so foolish as to wish to divide their
vote and thus loose the State to Bryan.
Republicans will probably try to induce
some of them to think that by voting
the middle of the road ticket they can
vote for Watson and have their votes
count as much for Bryan as by voting
the regular populist ticket. But the
voters are nOtso ignorant that they can
be thus preYed upon. They know that
it makes no difference whose names are
at the head OF the ticket they vote, it is
only the vote on the electors that are
counted. This is good example Of
the ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain.

A SUPREME OUR FOR CORPORA
TIONS.

AS election time approaches the fight
will be more bitter and dirty. Tue
man whom the republicans and corpora
ton strikers seem to have trained their
batteries ON is Hon Frank DOster. AS
we have before remarked, Nr D0ster
is one of the ablest and purest men in
our State or National pOlitlcs tie is
hated because of IL. Corporation in
terests we'll know the Importance Of
this election as it effects the supreme
court. If corporations win this year
the supreme court is theirs to have and
to hold for several more years. If we
win it is ours for at least two years
longer. When the Rock Island rail
road floated delegates into the State
republican convention from all over
the State on passes to defeat Chief
Justice Martin and nominate Judge
Carver it WAS making its interests
safe. Mr.. NJ. A. Low general attorney
of the Rock Island when Judge Martin
asked him why he was making that
fight replied: because l do not think
you are safe man." 1t is very pre-
sumable that he considered Judge
Carver a ''safe' man for the Rock Is
land or he would not have worked for
his nomination. The man that is
"safe" man for the Rock Island is not
a safe man for the people.
His enemies accuse Judge Doster Of
socialistic ideas, and quote garbled and
detached sentences to attempt TO
prove their assertions. all such quo
taLions, Mr.. Doster has repeatedly re-
pudiated as expressing no completed
thought Of his. lie is not half as rad
lcal as he is charged with being. Fur.
thermore, In bis law business he is a
very conservative man and when he
sat upon the district bench he had the
name of being a conservative, fair and
honest judge. The attacks that are
being made on him, como from the
desperation Of distracted, cussedness,
as existing in tho allied mOnopOlies,
When he speaks here on the 26th, ev.
cry one should hear him who possibly
can.

In his first inaugural address, Abra
ham Lincoln SAID: ~ do not forget the
position assumed by some that consti
tutional questions are to be decided by
the Supreme Court, nor do 1 deny that
such decisions must be binding in any
case upon the parties to a suit, while
they are also entitled to a very high re-
spect and consideration in all parallel
cases by all other departments Of the
government; and while obviously pos
sible that such decisions may be errO
NOUS in any given case, still the evil
dent effect following it, being limited
to that particular case, with the chance
that it may be OYerruled and never be-
come precedent for other cases, can
better be borne than could the evils Of
a different course. At the same time
the candid citizen must confess that il
the policy OF the government upon the
vital questions affecting the whole peo-
pie is to be irrevocably fixed by the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court, the in
slant they are made as in ordinary lit
igation between parties in persona
actions, the people will have ceased Il
be their own master unless having t
that extent practically resigned theil
government into the hands of that EN-
inent tribunal. "-Barrett's Life O.
Lincoln, p. 2O8.
In his debate with Douglass Same
p. 1877 he said: "The people are tn
rightful masters of both Congress ant
courts, not to overthrow the constitu
ton but to overthrow the men that per
vert the constitution. This is a
near the position taken by Mr.. Bryal
and his supporters as can be expressed
yet, those who claim to be Lincoln re

anarchistic.
