Wits OPEN LETTER.

The statement made by Mark Harna in his
Burton speech that he was the first man in
Ohio to recognize the labor unions, receives
decided denial from Peter Witt, of Cleveland,
in an open letter published in the Cleveland
Recorder which were produced in the News
Democrat, Mr.. Witt is the recognized authori.
ty on union labor movements in Ohio. He
was selected by the Recorder to publish for
their Labor Day edition, a history of the union
labor movement in Cleveland. His article
was recognized by all as able and profound. In
his open letter to Mark Hanna he handles him
with bare hands. He puts at him some
pointed questions that Hanna's personal ex-
perience with labor unions will make it ex-
tremely difficult for him to truthfuly answer.
In fact he will not attempt an answer. 1t was
in one of his contentious with his employees
three years ago that the Cleveland Leader
said that the best definition Of Mark Hanna
that they could find was spelled II o G.
Members of labor unions in Northern Ohio
recognize that when the Cleveland Leader,
the enemy of organized labor every day in the
week, characterizes any man as HOG for his
dealings with his employees, he indeed must
occupy very low place on the scale.
Hanna failed to create favorable impress
sion with his Burton audience in descending
to the language of a ward bum in describing
his friendly relation with organized labor. 1t
was decidedly out of place for a candidate for
the United States senate from the great state
of Ohio to appear before Western Reserve
audience that is everywhere recognized as be.
ing made up of the most intelligent, refined
and moral people in the Union and descend to
the language ofthe slums to give expression
to his views. Nothing will happen in the
campaign that will more clearly define his
boorishness and stupidity and utter unftness
for the position of United States senator.
While Hanna will ignore Wits open letter,
the labor unions will give it wide circulation.
Every member of organized labor should read
Wits open letter and through it discover
Hanna's true relation to their organizations.

CAN 1T BE POSSIBLE?

Can 1t be possible that the great Republican
party has got to find leader and a senator in
such man as Mark Hanna2 His crude speei-
men of a speech at Burton should settle his
case. His only idea seemed to be his mighty
and important self-nothing more-unless in
deed President Mckinley came in. Mr..
Hanna did refer to the president rather glow
ingly, but it was only to show himself as tho
great and mighty man who had brought out
Mckinley and made him president, 1t re-
minds one of the old nursery rhyme
Little Tom Horner sat in a corner,
Eating Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb and pulled out plum,
Saying what big boy be l.
1t is true that under Republican sway
the country has been tossed for years between
the Bulls and the Bears and suffering there
frem direfully and dreadfully. Then prOtec-
ton has not proteCted; never did and never
will. bad tree will not bring forth good
fruit. Higher taxation for individual benefit
will not remove burdens and relieve the people
from suffering and calamity. Wrong. doing is
not doing right. And in this connection Mark
Hanna is not the man to trust. He is for
Mark and the trusts, and cares naught for the
toiling and honest business people. His policy
is to make millionaires by legal robbery.
The late Justice Miller, of the United States
supreme court in deciding tax case said: ITO
lay with one hand the power of the govern
ment on the property of the citizen and with
the other to bestow it on avored individuals
to aid private enterprises, is none the less rob-
berry because it is done under the forms of law
and is called taxation. This is not legislation;
it is decree under legislative forms. Beyond
cavil there can be no lawful tax which is not
laid for public purpose"
But greater iniquity which this Mr.. Hanna
stands up for is the British financial gold and
banking system, for our bank paper promises
is the old British plan of paper money based
on government bonds. The banks draw in
terest on the bonds and on the paper issued
thereon. Why not let the government issue
greenbacks instead, redeem the bonds and SO
get rid of paying interest?
Ii not, why not?
There is no doubt ifthe people of Ohio would
vote their real sentiments Mr.. Hanna would
be badly defeated. The outlook is fair for
such result.

NAILED THEM TO THE POST.

In a recent speech delivered by Mr.. Bryan,
at Burlington, Kansas, he poured the follow
ing hot shot into the ranks of the goldtes who
are coming prosperity" on the increased
price of wheat. We quote from the printed
report of the speech as follows:
"Our opponents assume that the rise in
wheat has brought such prosperity that it has
killed of interest in free silver" Mr.. Bryan
continued. Let me give you few statistics" !"
He took from his pocket copy of the Kansas
City Star, Of December ., 1894, and another of
the day previous to the speech. He compared
the market reports in each.
They tell us that wheat has gone up and
try to turn that to the advantage of the Repub-
lican administration" he said. Now, find
that in December 1894, wheat was So 5-S cents
and yesterday it was 95 3.4 cents in Chicago.
This is a good deal of a rise in hard times.
Wheat was low under a Democratic admins
tratOn in 1894, and high under a Republican
administration. The Republicans tell us that
they are responsible for the change. But let
us compare the prices of corn in the same
papers: In December 1894, corn was AZ cents
bushel in Chicago; yesterday it was 81 cents"
Mr.. Bryan took drink of water and said:
Ifthe Republican party made wheat go up,
want TO know why it made corn go down."
This was the hit Of Bryan's speech, the ap.
plause being so loud and long that he had to
wait for il to subside. "I.et us compare the
prices of oats: "In December, 1894, they were
20 Ia cents bushel in Chicago; yesterday
they were 20 3-4, If the Republican party
claims an advantage from the rise in wheat,
it must also take the responsibility for the fall
in oprn and oats"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES PROPHECY

A reference was made in these columns a
few days ago regarding the inaugural address
of President Jackson delivered March A, 1888.
On December 2, 1884, in his message to con-
gress he confirms his predictions made in his
inaugural address, by saying, Events have
satisfied my mind and think the minds Of
the American people, that the mischiefs and
dangers which flow from national bank far
overbalance all its advantages. The bold effort
the present bank has made to control the
government, the distresses it has wantonly
produced, the violence of which it has been
the occasion in one of our cities famed for its
observance of law and order, are but premoni-
tions of the fate which awaits the American
people, should they be deluded into a per-
petuation of this institution or the establish
ment of another like it.
1t is fervantly hoped that thus admOnished,
those who have heretofore favored the estab-
lishment of a substitute for the present bank
will be induced to abandon it, as it is evidently
better TO incur any inconvenience that may be
reasonably expected than to concentrate the
whole moneyed power of the republic in any
form whatever or under any restrictions"

GET OFF THE EARTH.

The urgency of the money power in COM
pelling President Mckinley and the present
congress to provide for monetary commission
that will give into the hands of the banks the
entire control of the currency of the country,
can be accounted for in no other way than
that they fear the people and know that it is a
primary fact in economies that the control of
the volume of money means the control of the
instruments of production. These exploiters
expect to enrich themselves and impoverish
the masses by merely manipulating the cur
rency. Every authority on the subject of
finance and currency gives as a fundamental
precept that IAN increasing volume of money
brings rising prices and business activity,
while diminishing volume of money causes
falling prices and business stragnation,"
With law on the statute books that will give
into their hands exclusive control of the
money, and the manipulation of the markets,
1t would be only question of time when these
explOiters would own the country

FOOLISH PREDICTIONS.

Every prediction made by the advocates Of
single gold standard has signally failed. Not
single one has ever approached verifcation.
Grover Cleveland in that famous letter OF
February "a, 1885, written to Hon. ]. A. War
ner, Of Ohio, before he had assumed the office
of the presidency the first time-which letter
was written by Manton Marble of the New
York World, because Cleveland knew no more
about the money question at that time than he
now dOes-in rehearsing the predicted calamity
that would surely come through a continue
tion ofthe purchase of silver bullion under the
Bland act the letter says: 1T will be impos-
sble to maintain and continue in use the mass
of silver already coined, 1t is desirable that
suspension of the purchase and coinage of sill
yer be brought about at an early day. Gold
will be withdrawn to its boarding places, and
an Unprecedented contraction of the actual
volume of the currency will take place if this
is not done"
This in effect was the language of the let
ter, The precipitation of the agitation for free
coinage of silver commenced from the date of
that letter,
But how far the predictions were wide of the
facts, it may be mentioned that the increase of
gold that flowed into the country from the
passage of the Bland act in 1878 to 1890 was
over $685., ZOO, 900. The demand of the business
world for an increase of money did not come
by the coinage and issue of S2s, 900 under
the Bland act More money was needed and
as a consequence the amount of gold above
stated came into the country. If Cleveland
had consented to sign free coinage bill which
could have been passed at that time the BUSH
ness of the country would have absorbed every
dollar that could have been brought to the
mints and in addition large importations of
gold. Instead, he blocked the issue of new
money, stopped the purchase of silver bullion
and drove the free gold out of the country into
the vaults of the banks and the peoples stock
ings. He made gold valuable and every thing
else cheap. He drove out of the country our
gold and forced an issue of bonds that babes
unborn will be required to pay. The fooling
with our currency and the foolish predictions
of the gold bugs are ON the same plane.

IN A OUANDAKY.

The Republican press and speakers are in
quandary. They cannot and have therefore
ceased to use the semblance of an argument
in support of their present attitude toward
public affairs They are like the aristocrats
who were bidden to the marriage feast in
Bible times. They all with one accord COM
mence to make excuses" Their apologies for
Hanna and his methods crop out everywhere.
Col. Conger's epistles to the people of Ohio
reach responsive chord in the breasts Of the
true Republicans who believed in Blaine, ad-
mired General Garfield and are convinced of
the honesty of purpose and integrity Of charac-
ter of Col Conger. Any attempt to question
the honesty and boldness of the leading friend
of Blaine and Garfield in Ohio will not be met
quiescently by the worshippers of Blaine.
They know he would not raise his warning
voice against Hanna and his corrupt and dis
grace ful methods, did not the circumstances
,mand it, He is patriot. He sees tie
trend of affairs. He knows that few years
Of the rule of Hanna means not only death to
the Republican party but ruin of the country
as well. Col. Conger has a host of followers in
the Republican party who believe in him and
will gladly follow his example, That is one
of the many reasons why the Republican press
and speakers are in quandary.

Conger's resignation, but has no word
to say advising Mr.. Hanna to call on
Major Dick to resign. 1t seems the Re.
publican papers of Ohio approve of the
Dick operations with the Populists, only
regretting the exposure. What true
American does not admire the patriotism
and integrity of Paulding, Van Vert
and Williams, who captured Major
Andre, the British officer who had just
arranged with Benedict Arnold to be.
tray his country by delivering up West
Point, the key of the situation, to the
British, The amount of money Arnold
was to get was e10,O00 and major gen.
erals commission in the British army.
These three poor men, who captured
Andre and handed him over to their
superior officer, was offered by Andre
ten thousand guineas If they would let
him go. But they were proof against
the temptation and nobly did their duty,
a worthy example to good American
citizens in all coming time.
What contrast between Arnold, the
traitor, and the three patriots who cap
tured Andre. What wretched con-
temptible soul must that man have who
would sell himself and his cause for
filthy lucre. And this very lucre seems
to be what such men as Hanna depend
on for political success Truly, "the
key note of the Hanna campaign is a
note of shame"

COL. CoNGER VERSUS HANNA.

In the News-D Democrat of Thursday,
10th inst, was published another article
from Col. Conger, of Akron, called out
by a mean fling at Governor Bushnell in
the Akron Beacon ournal of that town.
This Republican organ said: "There
care Republicansin Summit county who
"beleve Governor Bushnell would have
"shown far better appreciation of the
situation if he had asked for Col. Con-
"ger's resignation,
This mean assault on the Republican
Governor and Col. Conger, the latter
for many years prominent Republican
citizen of Akron, called forth the last
reply that appeared in the News Demo-
crat. We are not aware that any Re-
publican journal of this state has had
the fairness to give Col. Congers articles
publicity. Of course Democratic papers
promptly published these productions,
satisfied they tell the truth concerning
this man Hanna. In fact he, nor no
one for him, denies the statements as to
Mr.. Hanna's treachery toward Foraker
eight years ago.
Mr.. Hanna aspires to continue in the
senate of the United States. He is the
acknowledged candidate of the Republi-
can party of Ohio for that place, and he
is the man President Mckinley wants
in the senate. When such a life-long
and able Republican as Col. Conger
shows up Mr.. Hanna's untitness as a
man and his unworthiness as a Republi,
can, fair journalism would say that these
Conger articles should be published in
Republican papers, especially when their
truth is not called in question. If not,
why notp
In this respect Democratic papers in
Ohio are doing work that should be
appreciated by all honest Republicans
in publishing Col. Conger's well written,
pointed articles. All good citizens OF
Ohio should read, ponder and consider
them. MIR. Hanna is certainly not the
man who should represent Ohio in the
senate of the United States. All the
evidence indicates him to be man OF
selfish, devious, if not corrupt ways. His
chief dependence for success is money az
the exposure in the Populist state CON
vention abundantly proved.
The time has come to get our politics
away from the corroding routes and
ways of venality. In this great and
much needed reform, the first necessary
step is to cast aside such men as MARI
Hanna and Dicks and their tools. Expos,
them, denounce them and hold them uI
in their infamy and nakedness to pub
lie scorn and condemnation. Pub
licity settles these men, so far as any in
auence they may have is concerned
