goods if there are no purchasers for
them, and it is just as hard to foresee
what will happen after the tariff bill Of
the Republican party has been passed.
and the people who looked to it for re-
lief are left without hope of further
remedy for their condition. I have in
my possession now copy of q telegram
sent BY Hanna to some parties in the
west which / will use IN my speech on
the tariff. This telegram directs re-
duction in the wages Of the men work
ing for the mine owners trust Of which
he is one Of the principals. I shall not
make it public as yet, but will see that
it eventually forms part Of the record.
In a recent address in New York
franklin Pierce struck from the shoul-
der when he said: The protective system
has debauched public men and corrup-
ted public life. Give any body OF men,
however pure, the power to take $780,
100000 from the pockets of the millions
and transfer it to the pockets of a few
men through an act of legislation, and
you have created a corrupting power
which will destroy the virtue and the
patriotism Of that body of men.
We shall never get rid of the evils
which have described until every dol
lar raised by taxation is paid into the
national treasury; until we stop entirely
this practice of allowing the right Of
government to tax property to be used
for the purpose of allowing the manu-
facturer to prohibit importations, form
trusts and rob our people of hundreds
of millions of dollars each year.
The remedy is in direct taxation. Ev-
cry man has right to know exactly
what he pays toward the ex :, uses of
government, and direct taxation is the
only means of stopping the lavish ex-
penditure of public money.
John King of the Adrian Democrat
believes in the doctrine that charity
should begin at home. The following is
one of his articles: It is we'll enough to
feed the hungry American citizens in
Cuba whom the ravages Of war have i'm
poverished, but this broad and generous
regard for few unfortunate persons
hundreds Of miles away should not cause
the philanthropic statesmen to forget
that thousands Of workingmen and wom-
en- in the United States cannot earn
enough wholesome food to sustain a
healthy physical existence. Enforced
idleness, with all of its consequent prii.
vations, has prevailed in this country fol-
u long period, and every honest observer
Of the industrial situation knows that
this condition Of things exists. Relief
has been promised, and on that promise
thousands Of workingmen voted the Re.
publican ticket last fall. 'sOpen the
mills and not the mints" was the cam
paign slogan of the party now in power
With Mckinley IN the presidential chair
and the gold standard policy established
the wheels Of industry were to he set IN
motion and the hum Of prosperity was
to be heard throughout the land.
Months have passed since the Moses
of this new era of prosperity should
have smltten the rock of this dead in.
dustrial system with his potent rod, and
yet the American laborer has seen nc
fountain Of returning thrift spring from
the desert Of his poverty and despair.
Could all the hopeless, weary, hag.
gard men and women. who watched and
waited with agoniziug hearts for the
dawn OF better day when the election
returns last November told that Mr.. Nc
Klnley had been chosen president Of th.
United States, now appear before til.
congressional philanthro opists, 50 mucl
concerned about the victims Of the Gu
ban famine, the spectacle would over
shadow the picture Of distress IN th.
lneighboring island.
