Mark Hanna's organs are yelling
"fraud" in Ohio elections. Well, they
ought to know Mark Hanna.-Chicago
Dispatch.
We infer from the remarks OF the
gold democrats who are being divorced
from their federal jobs that they think
there is alimony Of some sort coming to

In spite of the profcssed loyalty
of the Foraker legislators Mr.. Hanna
will probably get out fresh check
book and take firmer grasp on his
bludgeon.-Chicago Chronicle.

Of federal interference in state cleo

Prosperity. as dispensed by the
grace of Mckinley and Hanna, is alto
gether TOO exclusive: IL is too much In
spots. The western farmer who grows
corn and the southern farmer WHIT
grows cotton have been overlooked IL

Ten minutes later Eugene Clair came

courteously TO the question Of his

OlNGLEY TARIFF.
Regarded by Trusts and Monopolists
as q Good Thing.

The Dingley bill is the most complete
and dismal failure in the history of
tariff legislation. OF course the trusts
and spectators who have amassed mil
lions of dollars do not look at it In that
light, but so far as the great mass OF the
people are concerned it is one OF the
most vicious measures ever placed on
our statute books. The tariff revenues
of the government from August to the
end of the second week in September
for the last three years has been as fell
lows:
1895 ..................... .s3s 62l q
1870 -
1897 -o'oo''a
And we were yet suffering from The
panic in 1895. In 1896 we were in the
heat of a presidential campaign. when
confidence was lost" Now we are en-
ioying n "boom Of prosperity" and our
revenues have fallen off Si2,000.000.
The boy who imagined that he could
eat his cake and at the same time keep
it for future consumption was wise
political economist as compared with
that Mckinley brand OF tariff inspira-
tion which dreams Of protective tariff
which will yield increased revenues.
The only way to collect tariff revenues
is to have goods imported into this
country. and when you import goods
into this country you throw the Ameri-
can workman out of job. Is that toe
difficult to understand? Let me try
IL again. You cannot manufacture
goods in this country for a home market
and collect tariff revenues on them al

REBukED hANNAiSM.
The People firing of Bossism asS
uoodIeism.


The people Of ten states Of the union
have administered a rebuke and warm
ing 10 lIannaism. lIannaism stands for
rcpublicanism to-day.
1t is extremely doubtful whether the
warning will be needed. however much
the rebuke may sting The party which
was syndicated with the oppressive
trusts aud monopolies year ago for the
poor reward Of the presidency and the
'poils is too strongly bound to it's part
nerShip by the cohesive force Of central
ization and corruption TO cut loose now
and present itself to the American peo-
pie as political organization inspired
with high principles Of patriotism and
controlled by motives that have for their
aim the perpetuation unimpaired of the
form of government founded by the
fathers.
The poison Of Capitalization was born
in the party. 1t was an inheritance
from its progenitor on which democracy
had been waging war of determination
since Thomas jefferson gave it the spirit
Of conflict. The poison worked slowly
ut first. and it was not until the pro-
tectiye tariff made possible the ac-
emulation OF vast fortunes in the hands
Of the few that it received an impetus
that sent it coursing through the entire
BODY Of republicanism.
AS climax. new and dangerous
political boss in the person of Hanna
was invested with absolute command of
the organization. He has done only
what his commission directed and en-
powered him to do. He has syndicated
the whole party in accordance with the
principles and tendencies of centraliza-
ton.
Like all men of his stripe. the first
victory he won with the new forces
placed at his command blinded him tc
the rights and privileges of the van
uuished foe, and no semibarbaric Roman
emperor ever tyranized over his help
less victims more than Hanna has over
every man who has had the hardihooo
to oppose his wish.
His course has strengthened thu
democracy's spirit Of resistance. II hai
infused new courage into every demo
cratic heart. Not genuine democra
IN the land but has been aroused to thu
fighting point by Hanna's tactics. No
an unselfish American, who believe
that the only proper function of govern
nent is TO afford TO every one of its citi
zens equal opportunity. but has bee
turned against the republican party b.
its shameful liasion with the trusts ant
monopolies. II was these things that de
feated the republicans from New forl
to Colorado and that gave the demo
Gratis sweeping victory in the hom
town Of the man who was elected presi
dent through the debauchery OF hun
dreds Of thousands OF voters with tn
money contributed by the enemies O
free government and clean administra
ton.
The election returns are but pre-
lude. Next year the opponents of Har
naism will rally under the democratic
banner and drive from the house OF REF
resentatives n majority owing all'
glance to Hanna. In 1900 the people wi
come into their estate again. The r.
juvenated democracy stands armore
and plumed for the war.--St. Louis II
