Harrison tho Recipient of an OHer Bar
barousIy Magnificent.

Harrison tho Recipient of an Offer Bar
barOusly Magnificent.
Benjamin H. Harrison was offered
100000 by a certain New York paper
to write for it gossipy letter Of not
less than 100 words each day from the
reporters gallery in the republican
national convention. There are thou
sands of honest, sober, Industrious la
boring men engaged in producing
wealth in this country who would glad
ly bind themselves to their masters
during the remainder of their natural
lives If their masters would agree to
secure them in the possession of a job
which would average them 5000 per
year.
Put these two facts together and then
consider some other things in connec-
ton with them.
Ten thousand dollars at the above
rate would hire a man to grub, pillow,
hustle lumber, shovel coal, or do any
other "unskilled" labor-which, by the
way, is always cheaper than skilled"
labor, though it is the humble mudsill
upon which the latter depends for its
support-thirty-th years and four
months, at the end of which time the
unskilled laborer, If he had not died
sooner, would be ready to fill pau
per's grave.
Ten thousand dollars will buy, and
pay cash for, one of the finest 16O-acre
farms in the grandest agricultural
state in the Union; 1t will buy and
pay cash for two stores better than
the average stores of the country; it
will buy, and pay cash for, ten Of the
average blacksmith, wagonmaker or
carpenter shops Of the country. At
per cent interest $4,000 will produce
an annual income, without the slight
est exertion on the part Of its owner,
as great as two of our unskilled labor
ing men can earn in the production Of
wealth by hard years work and be
Just as fresh at the opening Of its sec
ond year as it was at the beginning of
its first.
But what is perhaps more sugges-
tive, $4,000 would have hired one hun
dred better, brighter and bralnier men
than Ben Harrison. either of whom
would have sent better copy" to the
paper employing him than Harrison
could.
Then who or what is Benjamin Har-
rison, that he should be thus favored
above other men?
Physically he is little, short, pudgy
fellow, a good deal after the style of
Punch" in Punch and Judy, gray
bearded and gray haired and over 60
years old.
Mentally he is cunning enough to
keep his plate right side up when It
rains porridge" and to espouse the best
paying side Of any question in which
he may be interested. 1t goes without
the saying, since he has never pro.
duced dollars worth Of wealth In bis

multi-milllonaire comes, not because
he is troubled with the least qualms
of conscience about the morality Of
the business of apprOpriating to his
own use the wealth created by the
working bees in the Industrial hive,
but solely because his cunning falls
short of the degree necessary to make
the opportunity of its requirement q
perfectly safe one.
Strange as it may seem, in a country
where the majority is said to rule
and where the humble producers out
number the leeches in the proportion
of hundred to one. this cold-blooded
parasite, who glories in the ability Of
capital to crush the life out Of labor
organizations, has been general in the
army, governor, United States senator,
and president of the United States by
virtue of votes cast by men whom and
whose calling he holds in utter con-
tempt, and 1t is because Of the hope
that the notoriety he has thus gained
may be made to rebound to its private
gain that plutocratic paper made him
the offer noted above.
Such men and such papers are fit
representatives OF Christian 90 civil
lization which differs from the barbar-
ism Of the dark ages chiefly in the fact
that it has transferred the right of
man to possess himself Of his neigh
bors' property from his physical to his
mental ability to do so. However, the
day is not far distant when theft,
whether accomplished at the end of a
gun-barrel or the end Of contract,
will be recognized for what it really is
Then the history of such men as Harri-
son and such offers as the above will
be objects of great curiosity and won
derment as the strangest relics of an
earlier barbarism now is.

Of our position with that of Jefferson
and Jackson on the financial question,
usually ignore the land plank and pour
out their walls Of wrath upon govern
ment ownership Of the means of trans
portation and communication. That
they have little or nothing to say in
criticism Of the populist on the land
question I attribute in part to the fact
that the doctrine we preach was first
proclaimed by Jefferson and is there
fore older than the democratic party,
and because of its popularity with the
masses, was championed by demo-
cratic press and orators whenever there
was a chance to secure political ad-
vantage in their contention with the re-
publican party from '6S to '84, and in
part to the fear that the party's record
on this subject vital to the homeless
majority Of our people, would not bear
close inspection.
Answering the assertion, ridicule
and abuse Of the tools of plutocracy
who denounce the transportation plank
of our platform, populists maintain
that the principle is as old as the gov
eminent itself.
1t may be found in the declaration
Of the founders Of the republic, that
public highways are and shall be the
property Of the people. Navlgable
streams could not be owned in whole
or in part by individuals, corpora
tions, or by states even, but should for
ever remain the property of the gen.
eral government.
Railroads are nothing more nor less
than public highways, and to permit
private ownership is q dangerous in
novation on the doctrine so clearly, as
I conceive, laid down in the case of
dirt roads and navigable streams.

A Mistake.

perhaps the populists would accom-
plish more if they would drop the
gold bug for the present and devote
their energies to the chinch bug
New York Press.
There you are all wrong. The chinch
bug works only in patches; and IL
does not touch the potatoes, or the
cattle, or the pigs, or the chickens, or
the horses; but the gold bug devours
them all. And then everybody says,
Good" If we kill the chinch bugs,
but there would be a terrible uproar il
we killed the gold bugs. And certain
kinds of weather produce spores that
fasten on the chinch bugs and destroy
them by the millions; but there Is
nothing that seems to have any effect
on the gold bugs-they are as salu-
brlous as bed bugs and as provocative.
If we put corrosive sublimate on q gold
bug, the daily papers of the whole
country would shrek as If we had run
lancet into their vital parts; and
the army and navy and the courts
would all be put into operation to de-
fend him.
Chinch bugs, indeed! Why, they are
quiet, pleasant and harmless little
chaps compared with the gold bugs.
If we could get clear of the gold bugs
the chinch bugs would not bother u.s.

Party Not In 1t.

During the last year or two the
money question has been voted on in
Congress a number Of times, and on
every occasion there has been shown
an utter disregard Of party obligations.
There is something about these money
questions exceedingly disintegrating to
political party organizations. Such
dlscordant elements as Sherman and
Cleveland, under the influence Of this
power solvent, come together like two
drops Of water. AS snow melts under
the summer sun so party discipline
dlssolves in the presence Of money.
This has been demonstrated over and
over again.
These money questions are invar-
iably questions of money getting. They
are questions between the money
makers and the money grabbers, be-
tween those who earn money and those
who get money without earning. The
United States government Of late more
than ever before is arrayed on the side
Of the money getters and against the
earners Of money; party has little to
do with it. Whatever the money
power demands finds ready support
from botA partieG-CiVio Review.

Populists are sometimes twitted with
being set of financial ne'er do wells,
who, having miserably failed to get
rich themselves, naturally grumble at
the fellows who have been luckier.
Now the shoe is on the other foot
The Republican party, that tremen-
dous machine controlled by the Money
Power, will soon put candidate in
the field, Maj. Mckinley, who failed in
business a year or two ago, and came
out of the catastrophe owing 100000
more than he had cash to meet.
A number of wealthy manufacturers
kindly made up a pony purse to put
the major out Of debt. These men, to-
gether with others of the same class,
have been furnishing funds to help Mr..
Mckinley secure the nomination for
the presldency-as Senator VIM. Chan
der boldly charged some time ago.
Soon We shall have the humiliating
spectacle Of a bankrupt candidate who
is to cure hard times, and whose nomi-
nation has practically been bought by
a set Of men who expect to be greatly
benefited by the particular kind Of leg
islation Of which said candidate is the
avowed champion.
To such a depth Of degradation has
the party Of Lincoln fallen!-NevadE

Labor Pays All Debt.

All wealth comes out Of the earth.
This fact should be kept in mind.
The way 1t is extracted from the
land is also important.
1t can only be drawn from the soil
by the application of labor to land.
Thus 1t will be seen that all of the
debts and taxes are paid by labor
applied to land.
The most difficult thing in the world
Is to secure for this fact a lodging
place in the human mind.
The merchant thinks probably that
he adds to the wealth of the country
by selling goods at great sacrifice
from his bargain counter.
He does not add a penny to the vol
ume of the nations wealth.
The banker may think he adds to the
national wealth by the practice Of
usury, skinning the people on his
loans.
A banker never did add one cent to
a nations wealth.
The great army Of middle men may
think they add to wealth by robbery
of both the producer and the consumer.
Middle men never created one penny
of national wealth.
And so it goes with all classes Of
business and professional men. They
are consumers of wealth, but they do
not produce cent.
All wealth being created by labor,
It follows that all of the debts Of gov.
eminent, national, state and municipal.
fall to the lot Of labor to pay.
An another important question to
BIO remembered is that the greater the
debts, the heavier tax and the less
labor derives in the way of wages for
producing wealth. When the debts be.
come sufficiently burdensome then la
Dor becomes a condition Of absolute
slayery.-Southern Mercury.

We beg leave to correct Senator
Teller of Colorado and John Sherman
Of Ohio. You see there Is no one who
has kept closer tab on John Sherman
during the last twenty-five years than
the writer hereof We know him, c.
the saying Is, as we'll as If We had
wheeled the dirt to make him.
In course Of speech on the anti.
bond bill Senator Teller had the fol.
lowing exchange Of courtesles," with
the senator from Ohio.
Teller-THe senator from Ohio talks
about the sacredness of contracts.
remember when the senator from Ohio
declared that theperson who would not
take Accent greenback in exchange
for any debt that the government owed
him was a rObber and a thief. Mr..
President, he changed his mind very
soon after that.
Mr. Sherman-I do not think I used
those words.
Mr.. Teller-He used the words rob.
Der" and "extortioner;" that it waa
"eXtortion."
Mr. Sherman-Not thief"
MIR. Teller--He was robber without
being thief.
Now, the fact is what Sherman said
about the bondholder's being an "ex.
tortloner" Cid not occur in a public
speech. 1t was embodied in letter
TO the Hon. A. Mann, Jr., of Brooklyn
Heights, written from the senate cham.
Der March 90 1868. We quote from
the letter the following extract-whicb

so loud about population" when Il
proposed to stop the issue Of more
bonds:
Your idea that we proposed to re.
pudlate or violate a promise when we
offered to redeem the principal in legal
tenders is erroneous. / think the bond,

alton or anything like it; but we ought
not to be deferred from what is right
for fear Of undeserved epithets. II un,
der the law as it stands, the holder OF
5-2O's can be paid only in gold, then
we are regulators, if we propose ia
pay otherwise. If, on the other hand,
the bondholders can demand only the
kind Of money he paid, then he is .
repudiator and extortioner to demand
money more valuable than he gave.

A Good Book.-"The Danger Linz
Reached" by Ex-Governor Hadley, Of
Arkansas, is a book of unusual
merit. 1t treats an intricate subject in
a simple but thorough manner. To the
business man who wishes to arrive at
a correct conclusion upon the money
question 1t will dispel all doubt. Those
who are searching for truth, and want
complete and straightforward answers

Even the goldbugs sometimes get
caught in their own trap. In presum-
Ing on the interest Of the people they
sometimes succeed in convincing them
too thoroughly. For instance, a re-
cent dispatch from Ashland, KY, says:
Col. A. w. Boscomh one of the larg-
est tobacco planters in this section, is
having a queer experience with negro
laborers.
During the campaign Just closed
there has been talk about silver dol
lars being only worth so cents. The
negroes have taken this literally, and
when Boscomb offered to pay them
In silver dollars, they emphatically OBJ
jected to accepting 5O-cent dollars, and
wanted 10 be paid in paper money or
gold.

Weyler is 0utmaneuvered.

NEW YORK, April 20.-A special
to the World from Havana says {:
II Gen. Maceo succeeds in crossing
the eighteen-mile barrier in spite
of the $4,000 Spanish regulars
pressing him on all sides, Gen.
Weyler must confess as Gen. Cam
pos did, that the campaign is a
failure, and that Spain can
not end this war by her own I'M
aided forces. The rebel general
has sent word to his friends in
Havana, that he will break through
the trocha when he is ready, and
that when the first showers OF rain
fall the captain generals forces
will turn to dust. 1t is certain
that Gen. Maceo has sure means of
suddenly assembling his rowing
band on either side of the trocha
some say by means OF colored
paper balloons and others say by
messages.
There Is belief that Gen. Weyler
is outmaneuvered, and Spain will
presently welcome the friendly
mediation Of the United States.
Even the Spaniards share this
feeling. Prisoners Of war are con-
demned to death as incendiaries
without proof of actual guilt.
Evidence that q rebel soldier be-
longed to a column OF the enemy
which burned property is sufficient
to insure his death. A prisoners
conviction depends on whether he
joined the offending band before or
after the incendiaries occurred. 1t
is said that nearly hundred pris.
oners will be shot as incendiaries
within a few days.

Free Delivery of Mails.

We believe that the post office de-
partment should deliver mail free in
the rural districts. But if it will not
do it, the farmers of many sections
could arrange themselves for a tri-
weekly delivery of mail. There are
children who are not old enough to
work in the summer, who could be
hired for trifle to do this. In the
winter arrangements could be made
to divide up the work among the farm.

some other one the next time; and this

is a way. If the government will not
do what it should do, perhaps we can
do it ourselves.-Farmer's Voice.

The Rains Law a Farce.

NEW YORK April 20.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the new
Raines' liquor bill was enforced
yesterday it was possible to buy
intoxicating drinks. Under the
Interpretation of the Raines' law
anyone with ten bedrooms can
open a hotel. Every restaurant
keeper and saloon keeper who has
not bar in his main room has
either secured a hotei license or
else is trying to secure one. The
announcement by Chief Cinlin
that not drink could be sold in
hotels without a meal at the same
time, did not cause this class Of
hotel men much worry as no one
has yet actually defined what a
Legitimate meal Is. In the
majority OF places a sandwich was
considered legitimate meal. One
sandwich was considered enough
of a meal to warrant the sale of as
much liquor as the patron could
drink. The saloos Of the city were
generally closed and the letter Of
the law for biddingthe sale of drinks
in restaurants was generally OBJ
served. In some OF the up town
hotels there was a manifest falling
of OF the Sunday transient dinner
trade. This was accounted for by
the clerks, owing to the opening
Of the "new hotels" In fact the
new "hotel" system is looked upon
by the saloon keeper as the very
best system ever improvised, and
every liquor dealer is trying to ad-
just his business so that he can
come under the hotel heading.
The orders for furniture and the
work of carpenters who are divid-
ing a large room of into half
dozen small ones continue to grow
and one hotel man said under the
present system it would not be
month before nearly every saloon
In this city would be transformed
into a hotel.
