POLITICAL IGNORANCE.
One of the More Prominent Features =.
kcpublicanlsTn.

The republican press has had much to
say Of late about the dcbasing effect OF
ignorance on politics. It's express pur-
pose is to make shallow people believe
that ignorance is res ponsible for the mil
lions Of votes cast Tor the democratic
party.
The Republic showed from the statis-
tics Of the census that, state for state,
except in the south, the disadvantage of
illitcracy was on the side of Mckinley.
1t pointed out that in the southern
states. where the percentage of Hitter
acy is enormous, the illiterate negro ele-
ment belongs to the republican party. 1t
called attention TO the fact that the
great cities. which the republican press
itself has charged were hitherto demo-
cratic because OF the large proportion Of
vicious voters. this year gave great re-
publican majorities.
But now comes Senator Bill Chandler
vociferously voicing demand for the
annexation of Hawaii, with its popula-
ton of half and whole sayages, and
many repu blican organs are insisting
that there shall be no restriction OF i'm
migration. because the foreign element
Is favorable to the gold standard and
other republican policies and saved the
day for the party in the recent contest.
This hypocrltical policy is in keeping
with the republican party's record. II
denounced the foreign voters as igno-
rant paupcrs and anarchists as long as it
thought the democratic party got their
votes. The ignorant voters are the
voters who DO not vote the republican
ticket. The fayorite republican dictum
is that the intelligence OF the country
ought to control. but. from its stand
point, intelligence is the ability ~ make
and control millions, and hence the intel
ligcncc which ought TO cor troll the coun-
try is The money interests that can pur-
chase the votes Of the ignorant and de-
PRAYED.
The republican party added millions
OF ignorant votes to the voting popula-
ton solely because it believed they
would perpetuate and extend the power
of the party, and il is willing to do it
again whenever the chance offers.-St
Louis Republic.
