SILVER ISSUE PARAMOUNT.
Until 1t Is Settled, and Settled Right,
1t VIII Never BE Ignored, Says
Senator Stewart, of Nevada.

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, passed
through Cheyenne, Wyo., recently en-
route to his home in that state. The
senator in brief interview with the
Denver News representative highly
complimentedW Wyoming and the noun
tain states for their enthusiastic re-
sponse to the call to arms in the Span.
ish-American conflict Wyoming, fur.
nishing over four times it's quota, was
an object lesson to the eastern states
and the country at large.
Now the war is practically over.
he said, the people should once more
address themselves to the vital ques-
tions of our home government. The
issues to be decided in our coming cleo
tions were vastly important and far
reaching. We must determine the
question of the financial independence
of the American people, and free our
selves from the financial despotism of
the old world.
Until these questions were settled.
and settled rightly, the silver issue
would never be ignored. He said the
for the silver campaign was
bright and the reform forces of the
people were cooperating to-
gether as never before.

story, cross-questiOned him abe ut the

horses back from 'Bijah at the best
bargain he could make. So he came
to 'Bijah, with another tune than be-

horses.

"Crabtree tried to beat him down iu

a thousand dollars down for the eight
horses. 'Bijah was starting to ride
away with his span of bays, bu: Crab

The rich lumber operator was glad tic

THE REFERENDUM.
illinois Republicans Are Opposed to
the Basic Principles of Our
Government.

The republican party of the state
of Illinois has seen fit to take issue
with the democrats on the question of
direct legislation, as represented in the
initiative and referendum. In the
state platform, adopted by the demo-
Gratis, the referendum was favored and
the party is pledged to carry such
law into effect in case the people give
the party sufficient support to elect.
In other words, if the democrats of
Illinois carry the legislature, the peo-
pie of the state will thereafter have a
chance to vote on all important ques-
tions, before they become law. Thus
the people at large would become ex-
ecutive, as was originally intended by
the founders of our republic. just why
the republicans can muster up suffi-
cient nerve to oppose the democrats
on this question, is a mystery. There
is neither logic nor wisdom in their
course. Yet the republican press of
the state is unanimous in opposing
democracy on this point. It is too
much like saying that the people are
not sufficiently wise to legislate for
themselves. II the people of Illinois
are wide awake, they will answer the
republicans at the polls in November,
and in a manner that will teach them
a lesson.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

War prices: Sixty-fve cents for dol
lar wheat.
Sixty-fve cent wheat in Chicago
means about so cents on the average to
the farmers of the country.
The present prices of farm products
do not allow an average of so cents per
day to each worker on the farm.
Now that the end of Spanish misrule
and cruelty in the western hemisphere
is in sight, the American people will
turn their attention to the gold COM
bination.
The American people are proud and
ambitious and demand the "best" Of
everything. Therefore, the gold combi-
nation figure that they can catch the
average American voter on their hook
by labelling gold the 'best money"
In all countries where money has
attained the highest point of excel
lence according to the theory of the
goldites, that of a great purchasing
power, the great masses of the people
go ragged and hungry and common
schools are unknown.
The bonds just issued by the govern
ment, although the rate of interest is
three per cent. per year, are now sell
ing at 104A. The purchasers of the
bonds are $500, 900 ahead on the deal
up to date. The gold standard means
high prices for bonds and low prices
for property.
If the scarcest and dearest money
is the best money and the scarcer and
the dearer it becomes the better it be-
comes, when money reaches its highest
point of excellence the masses of the
people must become slaves. Money is
so scarce, dear and consequently good"
in India and China that six cents paws
for "a days work on the average through
out those countries and skilled mechan-
les earn from three to seven dollars
per month.
The reason why 81 1,250, ,000, 900 sought
an investment in government bonds
bearing three per cent. interest is be-
cause the owners of the money knew
that although the rate of interest was
low the dollars in which the bonds were
to be paid would continue to grow
larger and fatter under the gold stand
ard. Property that is growing cheaper
under gold contraction cannot compete
in the markets against bonds payable
in dollars that are appreciating in pur-
chasing power.-Silver Knight-Watch.

AN OUTRAGEOUS INJUSTICE.
The DansIey War Tax Measure LIN nm
Had as His Tariff
IniQufty.


From his stronghold In Maine Mr..
Congressman Dingley gives out the Mt
terance that athe war taxes, some Of
them. will probably be permanent"
The probably" il wen put in. Be-
yond any reasonable doubt Mr.. Ding
ley speaks for the republican party.
Continue it in legislative power, and
the war taxes that came so conven-
iently to the aid Of the treasury, COW
ering up the failure of the Dingley
tariff measure as q revenue producer,
will be continued.
The people Of the United States, who
have to pay war taxes and all other
demands Of government, are yet to be
heard from. Presumably they win not
care 10 pay war taxes in time of peace.
and they will want statesmen at WASH
ington who win readjust the burdens
of taxation so that they may fall with
something of evenness upon the
wealth of the United States.
Mr.. Dingley will be retained because
in his drastic tariff measure, which
fell heavily upon all other citizens of
the United States, he Disseminated in
favor of his district. See Section 20
of his act, providing that the produce
of the forests of the state of Maine
upon the st. John river and its trib-
ntaries owned by the American citi-
zens and sawed and hewed in the prov
ince of New Brunswick by American
citizens, the same being otherwise
manufactured in whole or in part.
which is now admitted into the ports
of the United States free of duty, shall
continue to be so admitted.
Mr.. Dingley took care to abandon in
behalf of his own constituents a re-
strictive policy, whereas he made GER
tain that the restrictions should op-
crate against every other constituency
in the United States.
MT. Dingley's tariff measure was an
outrageous injustice. His subsequent
war taxation measure is extremely
vexatious, and borne only because the
needs Of war prosecuted by the
United States demanded the cheerful
acquiescence of the people of the
United States, but now that the war il
at an end it is the duty Of the people
in their own interests to take care
that there shall go to congress repre-
sentatives who, lifting in part the bur-
den Of taxation, custom house or 9TH
er, will so rearrange the whole scheme
of federal taxation as to make its en-
actions fall as well upon the great ac-
cumulations of wealth in the country
as upon the slender savings of him
who labors with his hands,

It's too expensive said Crabtree, whe
Yves well-to-do, but great joker, and
he thought he could beat the world alta
bargain. I'll dicker with you, though.
Ten frst-class horses, delivered on the
spot, for your quarter of moose meat.
/ gave $500 apiece for them
"'Bijah bantered with him a few min
utes and then said: tAll right. It's q
bargain. But give me bill of sale.'
$50 to carry out the joke Crabtree sat
down and wrote out bill of sale for
the ten horses with pencil on piece
of wrapping paper; and the foreman
and one of the men witnessed it, and
'Bijah put it in his pocket. They had
fried moose meat for supper in camp
that night, and the next morning, at
daybreak, the crew started for Malta
wamkeag, leaving 'Bijah at the camp
to dispose of the horses. The first
thing he did after the men had gone
was to go to the stable where the
horses were neighing for fodder.
"'Have patience, and I'll fix you out,
my beauties said Bijah, beginning to
feel what it was tc be the owner OF
ten fine horses. He spent an hour rig
ging stakes about his moose sled so
that he could pack it with hay. Then
he stepped over to Peter Lablache's
and was back at camp at noon with
full feed of hay for all the horses. It
was a six-mile trip, but he made it
twice a day for four weeks. until the
snow had softened and melted down
so that he could force the horses
through it and make a path to the
stack, and after that he let them feed
themselves. driving them over to the
stack in the morning and back to camp
at night.
"It was the first of May, and the stack
of hay had been eaten to the ground
when 'Bijah made his start out of the
woods. There was still plenty of snow
in the hollows, and the water course,
were running high, but he got to Mat.
tawamkeag safe on the third day. Crab
tree was in town that day, and look
ing from the hotel office saw 'BijaE
come riding down the main street with
nine horses in string behind him. He
knew the horses, though he could
scarcely believe his eyes, for they
seemed to him like horses risen from
the dead.
"'Say, where are you gong with my
horses?' called Crabtree.
"'Your horses!' cried 'Bijah. 'Didn't
you sell them to me for consideration
paid? Haven't L your bill of sale.

"'Yes, but that was only joke, you
know. I thought you were going to
kill them

I'm BEHALF OF THE SOLDIERS
A Duty That Democrats owe to the
Brave Defenders of Our
C0untry's Honor.

When congress meets there will be
an investigation as to the conduct of
the war. If the republicans succeed
in retaining majority in the house
the result of that investigation will
be simply whitewashing of Alger and
ell the rest of the incompetent and
venal officials appointed by the repub-
lican administration. There have been
many corrupt bargains, great inca
pacity and innumerable blunders dur
:ng the short campaign against the
Spaniards. These matters should not
be hushed up Soldiers who have been
starved by robber commissaries, neg
lected by incompetent officers, muir
dered by lack of proper medical atten-
ton, should be remembered by con-
gress, and the men who caused all this
needless suffering should be severely
punished. But If the republicans re-
main in power the congressional in
yestigation will prove a farce. For
this reason democrats should labor
strenuously to return their candidates
to the house of Representatives. This
is q duty the party owes to the sol
diers. The war was brought about
largely through democratic influences,
but the injuries to soldiers have all
from republican admins
tration. Soldiers who have suffered
will hesitate to bring their cases be-
fore republican congress-; therefore,
in behalf of these brave defenders Of
the flag, democrats should work zeal
ously for success.-Chicago Dispatch.

REPUBLICAN oFFIcIALDoM
The President In Looking After the
Interests of England I'm
This Country.

In America the opinion was definite
ly reached that Amasa Stones mill
lions had more to do with his selec-
ton by Mr.. Mckinley of John Hay as
secretary of state than any other fac
tor.
We have from England an altogether
different view. The London Times
says, in speaking of Mr.. Hays recall
from England: eve must console our
selves with the reflection that the for.
aign affairs of the United States are
in the hands of a man who has learned
from actual observation what are the
necessities of the foreign policy Of
England"
No formal alliance, offensive or de-
fensive, has been struck up between
England and the United States. That
would require a treaty which the pres
ident would be obliged to submit to
the senate of the United States, and
the president might well hesitate to
fe ther such esteem lest his popularity
suffer among the people of the United
States, who are not ripe for any such
alliance.
But we may gather from London
that a policy which will not be declared
openly or formally will be given OPP
GRAFTON by an indirection.
Mr.. Mckinley selects for the head
Of the department Of state in the
United States a man who has learned
from actual observation what are the
necessities not of the United States
but of the foreign policy of England.
We may reasonably suppose that IL
is the English view that Mr.. Hay goes
into the cabinet of Mr.. Mckinley as
England's particular representative.

The Monetary Problem.

cost, every sane and temperate Ameri.
can is morally bound to throw his
whole force to the support of the con-
given US the true ideal of American citi-
zenship in drawing the character of
the man who will speak the truth with
perfect urbanity though he sees that
to do so may cost him his standing,
his fortune or his life. We know that
there have been times in every section
Of this country, when no man could
speak vital truths, however urbanely,
except at the imminent risk of his life.
We have not forgotten that in the last
campaign it was said by typical rep
resentative of conditions under which
more than half the wealth of our coun-
try is now controlled by less than a
thousand men, that the most eminent
leaders of the opposition to plutocracy
should be "stood up against wall and
be shot" We know, too, that this say
ing fully represented the animus ofthe
class. But we should not bear malice
on that account. The crisis is so grave
that it cannot he met at all except by
entire fearlessness and perfect ur-
banity." If the insanity of the un-
bounded license of these thousand men
who control more than half the wealth
of the country is not met by deliber-
ate courage, which, in acting without
fear, can also act without emotion.
then these dangerous and misguided
victims of their own excuses may not
be prevented from bringing ruin on
themselves and great calamities on the
country.
Sensible men have no war to make
on capital. They have no prejudice
against the owners of wealth which
has been actually earned. They look
on rich men as a logical necessity OF
the existence of free institutions.
They intend that the first law of lib
erty shall be upheld. And that is the
self-evident truth that every free man
has an inalienable right to own all the
wealth he can create or earn, by his
mental Or physical activity, and to hold
it until he is prepared to part with it.
But that wealth should be used to de-
prive others of equal freedom, of equal
opportunity, of equal property rights
is the very essence of the intolerable
plutocracy which now asserts its de.
termination to control America
through peace or war; with the bought
ballots and the fraudulent politics OF
the Hanna campaign. or with the bay
onets of the new era" of imperial.
