Populism said "Tle government
ment must own and operate the
reads. No other plan will So
surely break the strength of mo-
nopoly and bring prosperity to the
agricultural and laboring classes.
The old parties said, "No! It
will not do to throw the railroads
into politics." The reply was, they
are already there. Today the rail
road man is instructed how to vote
and threatened if he does not obey.
Today free trains are running
over the land, on public grants
from people Of all parties, to carry
the unwilling voters that they may
bow at the feet Of the candidate of
the god party. The government
has not bought the railroads but
it is very plain that the railroads
propose to control if not own the
government. Think you that
these corporations which are
straining every 1erve for the cleo
ton Of Mckinley will not receive
every favor they might ask should
he be elected? The utterances of
populism have proven truly pro-
phetic.
The people of this country have
given away franchises recklessly,
and having given them away they
have continued to support them
extravagant]y. Today these bene-
ticiaries Of the people have changed
their tactics. They no longer ask
concessions. but boldly demand
submission. The contest is not
alone gold and silver. It is CAPT
tai and labor. The strlfes of the
past sink into oblivion before the
present one. On one side is hon
est toll; he who tills the soil, digs
in the mines and performs the
manual labor that labor from
which all others must live; on the
other is accumulated wealth with
its vast army Of agents. The con-
tention Of the first Is to prevent un-
just legislation and secure that
which will give to the laborer just
returns for his labor. The conten-
ton Of the second is to increase
the value of accumulated wealth,
to enhance it's purchasing power.
But labor is in the vast majority
and capital can only succeed by
the votes of labor. and to this end
it is straining every nerve and Law
ishly using the wealth at it's COM
mand. It buys, coaxes and threat
ems, and the most dangerous of all
is the latter. "Who pays you?"
asks capital; "Who made you?"
labor should reply. "Your wages
will be lowered by cheap money!"
asserts capital; "When did you
raise wages?" labor should an
swer. "Let us handle the fnan-
ces," says capital; IF we are pros
porous you will be-" But labor
must surely see that they have had
too strong a hand in finances al
ready and surely know that no
lasting prosperity which does not
come from the laboring or founda-
ton classes. Legislation for labor
means prosperity for all classes.

He says that the total expenditures
in one fiscal year have never been so

exceed the assessed valuation of prop

L conclusion Mr.. Savers said: IF
this Congress had rigidly refused au-
thority for additional contracts. and
had appropriated only 10 meet the i'm
mediate or fiscal year requirements I'M
der existing ones, the next Congress
ard administration would have been in
position TO largely reduce appropria-
tons ard expenditures, and the admin
istradon of the government could cas-
lily have returned to an. economical
method of expenditure. This, how

ity in Congress must be held response

the situation az St. Louis, complete

Wheeling and vicinity and a complete
! State news service-theSe are but few
of the many features of to-mOrrow's
edition of the Sunday Register.
Some Of the special articles are more
than merely interesting-the are
timely. Such an article as that con-
Germs two classes not often associated
OgeJher-tObaccO smokers and farm
ers. A country full of tobacco kings
is no misnomer, for we were able TO
find out from the tobacco manufac-
tUrers that the late trouble with Gen.
| Weyler is liable to develop tobacco in
| duStry here wonderfully. Farmers will
be tobacco kings for the next few
years. The fact that S500.000,000 has
been invested in the next domestic
crop lends a peculiar fascination to this
story
Our Semi-medical story deals with the
ever interesting story of new medical
! discoveries. The discovery of a serum
to cure typhoid. and its introduction
| here. makes a scientific tale Of general
interest. particularly as it so closely
follows the sessions of the State Med
zeal Society.
The new system of preparing girl
| athletes by swimming" them is told
| in an interview. This puts new side
TO the bathing question. and it is &C
cOmpanied by a pretty picture
The Drinking Songs of Summer have
been gathered with some trouble. As a
summer fad, this collecting Of verses
adapted to the different watering
places will be a popular one.
Miss GOOdwin's ever beautiful fash
ion letter deals with my lady en- route
for her summer home. The picture is
one OF her own inimitables.
There are many other valuable fel-
lures. the above being but hints of the
others.
