He Told the Truth.

Mr.. Bryan told the people that
there was suffering, wantand distress
In the land. He was denounced as q
calamity bowler and falsifier. Yet
during the present frozen weather
there has been more suffering, want
and distress in the country than was
ever before known. He told the peo-
pie that they were being oppressed
by the corporations and money pow
or, and he was abused for arraigning
the masses against the classes. Now
republicans are denouncing the cor
porations for not paying their share
Of taxation. He told the people that
silver and gold should continue to be
the money of this country, and that
we should not wait for the consent
Of other nations. Now the report
comes from Mr.. Wolcott's mission
that America must take the first step
In establishing international bimetal-
ism and that too in ratio Of is to 1.

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Passenger Rates.

The decided stand taken by the
state board of railroad commissioners
against the reduction of passenger
fares suggested by the state fair au-
thorities will probably lead to the de-
feat of the proposed two-cent fare
bill by the present general assembly.
The grounds on which the COM
misioners oppose the reduction are
that the cost of carrying passengers
exceeds two cents a mile and that
the times are so hard that such re-
duction would he oppressive.
In our. judgment, the increased
travel at two or even one cent mile
would be such as to reduce the cost
OF transporting passengers in pro-
portion to the reduction of rates, just
as the increased circulation enables
publishers to sell copies of newspap-
ers as protitabIy at one as at two,
three or five cents; but this is admit
eddy a two-sided question in both
newspaper and railroad circles.
The consideration, however, which
will initiate most strongly against
two-cent fares just now is the feeling
that in the present depressed state of
business all radical changes tending
to cause political strife should be
postponed until the country is in a
healthier condition.-Des Moines
News.
The depressed condition among
railroads is largely attributable to
the million or more transported free
of charge, virtually, to visit Canton
during the past year for political eff
feet upon the pending election. Rail
roads have legitimite business out
side of politics and should be punish
ed for every attempt to mingle IN
political affairs. They have volun-
tarily adopted a financial policy and
aided in foistlng it upon the people,
the effect of which is and has been to
reduce prices of all farm products one
half, and now when the people ask
for corresponding reduction in rates
they kick like young mules.

Some say that it is luck to raise

Some say that it is luck to raise
flowers. Now think that pigs and
chickens have great deal to do with
this luck. If we get good rich soil
and give them an hours work each
day we can all raise them. The men
and boys love to see them and will al.
ways be glad to help us to get the
ground ready for planting If asked to
do so. l don't think ever saw a
person who loved flowers who did not

will be delighted to see their pleasure
in them. As rule, children love

The street of Bye and Bye is as long as

Is an old German proverb, but it
holds within it the truths of to-day as
well as yesterday. How many things
we are gong to do some other day,
forgetting that tomorrow will bring
its own cares and pleasures until its
hours will be as full as to.day's. This
IS the way some of us plant and take
care of our flowers. We make our
plans in the winter, but when the hur.
~ Of spring comes they generally put
off until it is too late. Now when we
put off taking care of our flowers they
are always sare to be a failure. Don't
be afraid Of putting too much time on
them. You will be repaid for 1t by
the beauty and happiness they bring.
Some have no good place for raising
house plants, but when summer comes
we can always have as many as we
can care for, and for those who can
not care for ANNALS, there are the
hardy shrubs which need planting
only once. Among summer Towering
shrubs we have had great delight in a
bed containing many varieties of ever
blooming roses. All summer they give
US two or three roses each, daily, and
only need covering in the winter. l
am sure we can all have flowers of
some kind If we want them, and we
will be happier and better for it.
will close my paper, saying that
earth without flowers would be but a
barren wilderness, deprived of its
most brilliant beauty, its sweetest
perfumes, its choicest jewels. The
gardens, fields, valleys, mountains
and forests would all lose their
greatest charms. Natures face, with.
out flowers, would be like a beautiful
child that never smiled.

The Postville Review says 'Think
of a man being appointed to the office
of Secretary of the Treasury who had
never made a success of his own
business" After having thought up
on the profound wisdom of that le-
mark, just stop moment to think
of President who came before the
country but recently as an $118,000
failure. The Secretaries of the treas.
ury until the appointment of Hugh
McCullock in 1865, were all poor men,
and made better public officers than
their millionaire successors. The
lnost noted secretaries were Albert
Gallatin, A. ]. Dallas, Richard Rusk,
Roger B. fancy, Thomas Ewing,
John G. Spencer, Robert j. Walker,
Thos. Corwin and John A. Dix, the
entire lot representing less dollars
than are to the credit of Ly man j.
Gage. AS a convict working in a
stone quarry may have a poorer
knowledge of geology than student
in the science who never worked
in the quarry day, SO the poor man
who has been student in monetary
science may know more about the
money question than the man who
counts and handles vast sums of
money every day. And of late years,
taking advantage of q wise and prop
>er law passed during the war period,
recent Secretaries of the treasury
take advantage of that law which
ought to be expunged from the stat
utes, to keep several millions of pub
lie money in some pet bank in which
the Secretary has an interest. John
Sherman when Secretary of the treas
ury kept 500, 1000, 900 in New York
bank in which he was stock holder,
and though poor man at the time
he made success" according to the
logic OF the Review.

In an address before the Grant Club

In an address before the Grant Club
of Des Moines, on Thursday evening,
representative j. H. Funk, who is
chairman of the House committee on
ways and means gave graphic de-
scription of the difficulties that beset
Legislation, touching the revenues.
First the Bankers came to pronounce
proposed changes inquisitorial, then
the building and loan associations to
announce that they would be driven
out of business, and the life insurance
companies to proclaim they were be-
ing trampled into the dust. These
were followed by the trade corpora
tions, and by representatives of ev-
cry other interest. After turning the
taxes from the railroads and the
corporations into the state treasury,
he would change the method of elect
ing assessors in the county.
1--WE have men in town." said Mr..
Funk, "listed at $25O,OOO in Brad
streets and Duns' who pay taxes up
on $4,000. Ifan assessor uncovered
that his name would be, to use COM
mon expression, Dennis. I would
have the district judges appoint a
county assessor. A system of this
kind would be far more effective than
at present. cannot say what we
will accomplish at this session, but l
do say that there are Hobbies at work
to defeat any revenue measure that
may be brought before either House.
The building and loan associations
are seeking to influence a few men,
the insurance companies a few more,
and so the work goes on. In all of
my legislative experience, have
never seen so much work being done
in the lobby in behalf of certain fav-
ored interests. make this state
ment that, if we fail, you may know
why we fail. 1t is said by these in
terests that the present laws are good
enough. l remember in 1861, we had
a few erring sisters who were crying,
All we want is to let alone. We did
not let them alone then, and we do
not propose to do so now"
