AN INSPIRING FACT.

''St. Louis Globe Democrat. One in.
spring fact about the Republican party
is that it never yet took hold OF the
government finances without improving
them by wise regulations and ample
revenue"
The financial legislation of the past
thirty years has been that of the Re-
publican party. Is this the inspiring
fact?
The panic and general bankruptcy of
the fall Of 1873 and the demonetizing of
silver in February of that year, must be
placed to the credit of the Republican
party, tramps included. was the Sher-
man silver purchasing law of 1890 one of
those "wise regulationsP" II so, why
did Sherman and the same Republican
party leaders help Grover Cleveland to
repeal it in 1893? In 1890 Sherman,
Mckinley, and the rest claimed great
things from the Sherman law, and in
advocating its repeal they promised
prosperity! And these are the "inspir-
ing fact" fellowsl No matter what they
10 they are always right and never in
the wrong. Saints all and always! More
than once has free coinage bill to
restore silver passed the house, but was
always lost in the Republican Senate.
The gold money lords of England and
Wall street have continued to hold in
line the Republican party. The present
Reed house gave evidence at the last
session, and the st. Louis convention
that nominated Mckinley adopted the
gold standard platform.
The present condition of things in this
country is the result of Republican
financial policy. And they propose no
change until the European powers shall
consent. Is this American independ-
ence? An "inspiring fact2" Is this a
"wise regulation?" Is this the way to
that promised prosperity" In truth
the financial policy Of the Republican
party has been a series of schemes of
plunder and robbery of the people, and
results confirm all this. Their policy
has built up dictatorial money power,
dangerous to all honest business. Mon
opolies, trusts and combines have also
been and are instruments of evil, all the
result of Republican policy and is
another interesting fact"
With an occasional brief exception,
times have been getting harder and
harder under Republican policy. And
at this time it is more and more appar.
ent This is known 10 all men who will
open their eyes and admit the truth.
Their promises have never been realized
and the present condition of things,
failures, lack of work and idleness and
general distress and suffering are Gin
spring facts" that should convince all.
These show the "wise regulations" and
terrible results.

FULToN, Ills, Feb IA sensational
encounter resulted from decision by
the appellate court in the injunction
case as to the removal of the Office OF
the head clerk Of the Modern Woodmen
Of America from this place to Rock
Island. Ills, the court deciding ad.
versely to Fulton. A mob of over &C
Rock Islanders, with Mayor Knox, w.

on special train and went direct to
the Woodmen Office, seized the records
and started to board the train for Rocl
Island. Citizens discovered 1t and re.

ors also disregarded the police.
Then the fire department turned out,
closed the rear entrance to the build

the front entrance, trapping the Rock
Islanders. The latter chopped the door
down, but firemen drove them back.
They were prisoners for two hours and
were finally forced to restore the rec.
ords to the building. Meanwhile an
injunction had been secured and the
train was held. The unwelcome visit
ors were at length allowed to depart
crestfallen. Fulton will appeal the
case to the supreme court and will fight
to the end.

have to take il whether we wanted to or
not" This may he objected to rs
politics rather than news, ut the money
question is politics first and anything
else afterwards that people want to make
it, and this community and country will
never have its old time prosperity until
silver is restored to its ancient position
and financial system rearranged in the
interests of the people. The condition
is here presented that we have adopted
and maintained a financial system which
makes money scarcer and harder to get
every year; until the farmers, once the
pride and hope of the republic, are
penniless, workmen are idle, and tramps
abound; then manufacturers, jobbers,
wholesalers and retailers put up their
sign "cash or no goods"

DENVER, Feb. 17.-The special train
from Chicago over the Chicago, Bur-
hngton and Quincy and the Burlington
and Missouri railroad chartered by
Henry j. Mayham, Denver mining
investment broker. has reached this
city, having run 1,02G miles in 1S hours
and 52 minutes.
This journey goes into history as the
greatest railroad feat ever accom-.
plished. The best previous railroad
long distance record was 10 hours and
81 minutes for G04 miles over the New
York Central and Lake Shore railroads
from New York to Chicago.

Mr.. Searles, Of the sugar trust, admit
ted to the Lexow committee that the
trust cleared S2O,OOO,0OO from 1891 to
1894, the period of the Mckinley tariff.
Mr.. searles said 100000 tons of sugar
were consumed in the United States
annually, and Of this amount his trust
supplied 100000 tons, the spreckles
trust in California supplying the rest.
The Mckinley tariff pat raw sugar on
the free list for the benefit of the trust,
thus sacrificing $50, 600, 900 of revenue a
year, the average under the tariff of 1888,
which the Mckinley law supplanted. In
four years this amounted to s240, 900 600,
or about enough to cover all the bond
issues Of the Cleveland administration.
The Mckinley law gave the trust protec-
ton on its refined sugar, and hence it
cleared s20,000,000 profits, admitted by
Ir. Seares. The profit was probably
at least double that. This Searles is the
man who visited Major Mckinley the
other day in this city.

Republican papers harp on the def
cheney in the treasury at Washington
this fiscal year, which expires June 80,
and claim it will amount to sixty mil
lions. OF course it is bad that expend
itures should exceed receipts at any time,
and it is the duty of Congress to watch
and prevent this. In this connection
the Republican organs should state that
the Federal treasury mas a reserve above
the hundred million gold reserve OF some
sl30,000,0O0. Our friends will probably
discover this when their administration
takes the responsibility Circumstances
alter cases with ring politicians. There
are many local treasures in worse shape
than the Federal treasury.

In Carrollton, says the Chronicle, the
merchants, grocers, butchers, bakers and
"candldstick makers" have agreed to
adopt the cash system on March 1st. At
the preparatory meeting there seemed to
be a consensus of opinion that il they
would do away with all book accounts,
it would be better for all concerned
the dealer could sell cheaper and the
consumer get the beneft-money was
never so scarce as now and getting
scarcer-men who run in debt could not
possibly pay out-and times were get
ting worse instead of better" A general
agreement to these facts rather surprises
us, as here in Carrollton, scarcely three
months ago, a'majority Of voters turned
green about the gills with fear that
Carrollton "would be flooded with cheap
money" and "that a whole train load
Of cheap and nasty silver might be
dumped right onto us and we would

bers of the nobility.
Rhodes read long statement, which
he said, covered the whole ground, and
recited the grievances of the foreigners
against the Transvaal government.
"After long efforts" the statement
continued, "the people there, despair
ing of redress by constitutional means,
resolved to seek by extra constitutional
means such change of government as
could give the majority of the popula-
ton, possessing more than half the

Sir William Vernon Harcourt asked
why, if he was acting within his rights
in sending troops to the borders of the
Transvaal, he had not informed Sir
Hercules Robinson, the governor OF
Cape Colony, OF the fact. Rhodes told
him he would have to ask Robinson.
Pressed by Sir William as to what
right he had to send troops to the Trans.

IL have very probably done wrong,
but there is another movement now
which has much support, namely, the
incursion of the Greeks That's wrong,

CANEA, Island Of Crete, Feb. H.
Greece has evidently gotten into a
tight place. The European powers, it
is believed, have ordered her to vacate
Crete. She has replied that she cannot
reverse her policy, as she has gone too
far, besides popular feeling in Greece
will not allow it.
Will Europe force her to retire, is the
question. Another fact that holds
Greece to her policy is the declaration
of the Cretans that they are prepared
to shed the last drop of their blood in
order to attain their nations aspira.

THE TEST OF DEMocRAcY.

Let us picture to our minds Thomas
Jefferson wri ing the d, claration of In.
dependence. Let us restore to our mem
ory the picture of Andrew Jackson driv-
ing back English arrogance and inso
lence at New Orleans, and then ask
ourselves whether Jackson and ] fer
son would have had the manly cour ge
and manly honesty to have declared in
the Chicago convention in favor of both
gold and silver, without waiting for the
consent of any foreign nation. Let us
remember that it was Parton who said:
"lf Jefferson was wrong, America is
wrong; if America is right, Jefferson was
right"
That We may make further test Of
true Democracy in these times, allow
me to read to you a quotation from one
of Jefierson's letters, used by Judge /.
N. Abernethy, ofCircleville, at the Jack.
son banquet of Laurelville, on the Sth
of this month. The quotation refer to
is as follows: "An Anglican monarchic-
al and aristocratical party had sprung
up. On the side of Democracy pure
and simple we're the people and the
talents; against them were office seek
ers, British merchants, and Am, ricans
trading on English capital, spectators,
nd holders in the banks and public
funds. 1t would give you fever were
to name to you the apostates who have
gone over to these heresies; men who
we're Samsons in tie field and Solomons
in the council, but who have had their
heads shorn by the harlot, England" !"
Who were the Samsons whose heads
were sholn by the harlot, England, in
the last campaigu2 They certainly
were not the silver Democrats, nor the
silver Republicans, nor the silver Pro-
hibitionists, nor the Populists.
On the Sth of this month Mr.. Cleve.
land wrote TO the alleged gold Democrats
at Chicago banquet as follows "When
passion and prejudice threaten to OBJ.
scure the meaning of true Democracy,
and prevent its patriotic purposes, re-
union of those who are Democrats for
the sake of principle and the good of
their country, cannot fail to be inspiring
and useful. On an occasion when the
character and the achievements of
Andrew Jackson are commemorated the
old landmarks of Democratic faith
should be distinctly pointed out" This
is all very well so far as it goes, but tried
and tested by the old landmarks, who
were the Democrats in the last campaign?
Surely those Democrats who by their
money, their offices, and their votes did
all they could to foster monopolies and
breed trusts, we're not true Democrats,
then Jefferson and Jackson must hunt
some other name. In the last campaign,
and even at this time, those who claim
they are gold Democrats must stand
accused and convicted in the face of the
history OF Jefferson and Jackson of
choosing the livery of heaven to serve
the devil in."-Extract from speech of
Hon. J ]. Lentz at Columbus.
