manufactured by cheap foreign labor

to manufacture at loss. The laborer
was thrown out of his job The cheap
clothes which the Democrats had prom
ised him We're displayed prominently
In the windows of the store, but he had
no money with which TO buy Foreign
goods made by cheap foreign labor

the American manufacturers continued
to close down and the laborer continued

CALLING reduction in wages.
And yet no free trade bill had Deen
passed. But with Democratic con-
gress and a Democratic president the
anticipation that free trade measure
would be enacted was certainty and
commerce, which does so much ON an
ticipation and prospects, was merely
adjusting itself. So great was the ira
vail of this country that later when a
Democratic congress essayed 10 pass
free trade bill il found it impossible.
A long session of dickering complete
Iv unsettled the commerce of the coun-
try. And from that day TO this the
country has been going from bad TO
worse.
Two years after Cleveiand's second
election Mckinley again made a cam
paign, this time for governor or ohlo'
on the tariff issue, and was overwhein-
ingly elected. The country, as well
as the people of Ohio had come to the
conclusion that McKinley's tariff was
in the right direction. The aDorer,
the manufacturer, the store-keeper ana
the farmer were all alike squeezed ana
disguised. and the demand for a resti-
tuition of the Mckinley idea became
general. 1t is this simply that mas
forced his nomination; and 1t VIII be
this which will secure his election be-
yond doubt
There are other grave questions De-
fore the public, but the great manu-
featuring population OF the country
with the people who enjoy their patron
age and the farmers who feed them
when they have money to buy are sure
to forget other issues for the tariff this
wear and see that Mckinley is presl-
dent and that a congress, with his tariff
ideas is behind him. 1t is useless for
the Democrats and the POpulists TO
make a campaign against Mckinley
further than to keep their organiza-
tons intact They cannot beat him
for the presidency, simply because Nc
Kinley represents an idea, which when
once discarded resulted in the inaugur-
alton Of an adversely which no one In
this country wants to continue TO face
longer or be threatened with again

TOPEKA DIsGRAC1NG KANSAS.

Long ago the Eagle called attention
to the fact that the rapacity of the peo-
pie of Topeka upon visitors should be
4 subject of discussion with view to
an amelioration of the conditions com
planned Of.
1t should not be understood that any
one is so foolish TO think that the flu
ture of Kansas either politically, in
duStriaIly or commercially depends on
the quality of hash dispensed in a way
station out of Kansas City. But ever
man has an eye 10 his present comforts
and as Topeka is unfortunately the
capital of the state and as such must
Of necessity be visited by men inter
ested in state affairs, it becomes i'm
portant that some relief be offered to
stomachS as well as pocketbooks by
Topeka.
In the first place Topeka has always
been an obnoxious city to Ksnsans.
Not many years ago the whole state
was diSgraced by lynching within the
sacred shadows of that glorious pile
the state house. Not many months
ago a mob, of such dimensions that the
militia was held ready, surged UP and
down the streets OF that city, again
calling the attention Of the country to
the anarchy Of Kansas.
IN the second place the Topeka
boarding-houSe keepers have long ruled
Topeka and ruined the Stomachs of
visiting statesmen in addition TO depict
ing their pocketbOOks. The food dis
penSed there has always been the poor
est, the bills the highest and the ac-
cancellations the SlimmeSt of any in
the west Legislators who are forced
10 live in Topeka have been subjected
10 the tyranny of landlords and chars-
Ell up with Munchausen and exorbitant
bills for damages 10 the premises, as
in the case % Senator Senior of Coffee
county, who carried the matter into the
court and has just won his suit.
These Topeka structures can be en-
dured 10y the people Of Kansas If they
desire. It is their own fault il they
do not punish the town by teaching il
4 Lesson.
But something has happened which
the state eannos remedy and which
subjects Kansas TO ridlcule. The in

STEALING NATIONAL CONVENTION

The story that the executive COLL
mittee OF the Democratic party VIII
take upon itself the right to transfer
the national convention from Chicago
TO New York, on account Of the aSgres-
sive silver majority among Illinois
Democrats, cannot be taken seriously.
1t is in all probability fiction put
out by the leading silver Democrats
for the purpose of intensifying their
already intense following. II so 1t Is
a. clever imitation of the gold standard
mems tactics. Since the financial ques-
ton has been opened, there has been
something of this dictatorial spirit of
the gold standard advocates apparent
all the time.
This dictatorial spirits favorite pre-
sumption is that the people at large
know nothing about finance, and that
the bankers and the moneyed men of
the country know everything; that the
populace has no business consequently
TO NEEDLE in the finances of the coun-
try, and that a man who is without
money should also be of necessity with
out financial views.
The law Of the land was so lightly
considered by President Cleveland that,
when gold bonds were to be issued, he
did not wait for the consent Of con-
gress but proceeded on his own ac-
count and issued them. The great
metropolitan dailies, supporting the Re
publican side in politics, have time and
time again invited the Republicans who
supported silver out of the party.
The country has been assured repeat
eddy that the free coinage sentiment
was dying out or had died out, In q
tone which assumed that no sensible
man could believe In IL. In such de-
bates as have been held the gold stan
dard defenders have always taken the
premises that the other side of the ques-
ton was idiotic.
Where ii has come to the admittance
Of pew states, their fitness, population
and location have been forgotten and
the single objection urged against them
that they are for free silver. When
retaliation is threatened by the west,
for instance the challenge OF mo BIZ
metallism, no tariff" the eastern gold
standard papers have been horriaed
and abaShed.
So that while the removal Of a ma
tional convention TO another part Of
the country for the purpose Of insuring
a gold standard platform, is at best a
fiction, ii really indicates the DISPOSE
ton OF gold standard men, and il mag
be believed that IL the Democratic con-
vention was taken IN New York. the
movement and its consummation would
be defended fiercely by the gold stan
oard advocates. who are always Sc far
fOrgetful OF the sacred rights OF the
majority, that any technicality, trick
or treachery is considered by the gold
ties 10 be perfectly proper and legiti-
mate, and II accomplished, good joke |
on the silver men.
There is one assurance TO the silver
men IN al this. II Indicates that the |
gold men are cognizant 81 being in the |
Icinority, and \ minority can succeed !
only for time by tricks, which when /
repeated make the minority smaller /
and the majority stronger.

Geo. A. Williams, who died August % at
his residence, SV7 street southeast, was
born In Massachusetts. At an early age
he entered the United states navy. and for
twenty-seven years served in that arm of
the government service, his first enlistment
dating back to 1854, on the u S. S. Massa-
chusetts. During the war Of the rebellion
he served aboard the steamer Susquehanna
and participated In the battle of Port Roy
al and other naval engagements. and was
particularly mentioned for gallant and mer-
norious service In action. Since the war
ne was connected with several United
States vessels He was an honored mem
Der of the G.. A. R., and his funeral was
largely attended by his comrades. A de-
tachment OF regulars from Fort Myer serv-
ed as guard of honor, and the Marine
Band furnished the music for the occasion.
A large concourse of friends followed his
remains to Congressional cemetery where,
draped with the flag he loved so well, his
remains were laid to rest. The impressive
burial services Of the g. A. r. were per-
formed.
