A CAMPAIGN OF PROMISES.
How the Ohio Republicans Do the
People.

Senator Hanna in his campaigning
speeches to the Buckeyes promises them
money question, If it shall be given a
chance. upon a basis that will take the
question out of politics and prevent fu-=
ture business reverses. This news is
honey sweet. Mr.. Hanna does not go
into particulars; and there is nothing
In the past history Of republican fnan-
ciering to justify hope. The republicans
have tinkered and tinkered, and made one
dangerous experiment after another; and
they are still tinkering, and are afraid
to rectify their most obvious errors."-
Philadelphia Record.
There is reason to believe that the
republicans have done all they propose
to do in the line of redeeming pledges.
They have satisfied the demands of the
contributors to republican corruption
funds by enacting a law that enables
those contributors to recover the full
amount of their contributions with
heavy interest from the people, and this
no doubt fully meets the republican
idea of what is needed in the way of
remedial legislation. The party leaders
have concluded apparently to rest their
case on the Dingley law and to trust to
the full restoration of prosperity for
further political capital. The repub-
licans met great crisis in partisan
spirit and essayed to satisfy the de-
mands of suffering people by impos-
ing upon them additional heavy bur-
dens.
Mr.. Hanna's promise that the repub-
lican party will settle the money ques-
ton amounts to nothing, because it is
clear that the leaders of the party are
satisfied with the present condition of
the currency, and even if it shall seem
to them to be advisable to make some
change at the instance of the great
moneyed interests, their settlement of
the question will not be what the public
asks and expects. The treatment the
people received at the hands of the re-
publican tariff-makers is in evidence as
showing that the interests of the masses
will not be consulted by the republican
party.-Binghamton IN. W Leader.

M'kINLEY AS A PRICE MAKER.
Extravagant Claims of Republican
Ranters.


Ranters.
Out in Ohio the republicans have been
compelled to resort to the claim that
the Mckinley administration is respon-
sible for the recent rise in wheat. This
has been done, not directly, but indi-
rectly. Mr.. Hanna began it by an
nouncing in the beginning of the cam
paign that he had received information
to the effect that Providence was on
the side of the republicans.
On the heels OF this it was compar-
atively easy matter to inform the voters
that, to Mr.. Mckinley, under Providence,
should be given the credit for dollar
wheat. That great man had no sooner
been elected than he sat about arrang-
ing for famine in India and short
wheat crops all over the world except
in these United States, of which he and
Hanna are the chief managers, and of
whose liberties they are the bull-works,
as it were.
All this has been given out in Ohio
with good deal of solemnity. Hanna, in
the free-and-easy flow of his gush, has
held these things before the attention
of his audiences until the whole cam
paign seems to depend on the promulga-
ton of the belief that the Mckinley ad-
ministration has really been powerful
enough to create famine conditions else
where in order to induce the voters to
indorse Hanna.
But now there seems to be trouble
ahead, and the Cincinnati Enquirer calls
attention to it. We no longer have
dollar wheat. In fact. wheat has fallen
ten cents a bushel since Mr.. Hanna be-
gan to knead his political dough in pub
lie, and the Enquirer wants to know
why Mr.. Mckinley should thus strike at
the interests of the farmers by permit
ting this slump. AS Mr.. Mckinley
was powerful enough to raise wheat to
dollar, why does he not hold it there?
Why does he sit idly by and permit the
poor farmers to be robbed of 500 on
every thousand bushels of wheat they
sell, when he could so easily prevent it +?
It is very interesting situation

THE WAY WE GET IT.

The Mckinley prosperity wave was
promised us one way; we seem to have
gotten it in an entirely different way.
1t was promised us in the way the chick
on gets the corn; we have got it where
he chicken gets the axe--in the neck.
Mckinley was elected President just
six months ago, lacking six days and
he with retinue of prosperity promisers
behind him. waving flags and blowing
trumpets promised better times.
Now let us see how they have kept
their promises:
On the Saturday before the Noyem-
Der election, May cotton sold in New
York for S33 On last Saturday May
cotton sold in New York at 70S. There
is difference of just one and quarter
cents per pound against the cotton grow
en-
May wheat sold on the Chicago Board
of Trade the Saturday before the No
vember election for 1872 cents. May
wheat sold on the Chicago Board of
Trade last Saturday at 1914 and from five
to ten cents of this price is attributed
to the Greece Turkish war. This is a
difference of 81 cents per bushel against
the wheat grower, and but for the war
the difference would be in the same
proportion as cotton. or about ten cents
per bushel
May corn sold the Saturday before
the election in Chicago at % cents. 1t
sold last Saturday in Chicago at 24A
cents.
Oats sold the Saturday before McKin-
iey's election at q cents. They sold last
Saturday at II cents.
That's the way the Mckinley prosper
ity has struck the industrial masses.
These are the four leading American
agricultural products.
Now let us trace the wave in another 1i-
rection:
United States government -four per
cents bonds what is known in bond
parlance as ''Regulars') sold on the
New York stock exchange on the Sat
urday before the Mckinley election at
S1.161a. The same bonds sold on the
New York stock exchange last Satur-
day at $1.23.
United States government 5 per cent
bonds sold on the New York stock ex-
change on the Saturday before the No
vember election at $1.17A. The same
bonds sold on the same exchange last
Saturday at $1.24, difference in favor OF
the bond holder Of $3.50 on each four
per cent bond, and, strange to say, just
the identical same Of $3.50 in favor OF
the holders of the per cent bonds.
Now to make little home comparison:
North Carolina 6 per cent bonds sold
an the New York stock exchange the
Saturday before McKinley's election at
Sis. The same bonds sold last Satur-
day at $12S. a dihe~ ence in favor OF the
holders of .,orth Carolina bond
