1t is not we'll to steal, unless thy plan
Be large and regal in its magnitude,
Able to make thy circumstance defy
The scruples and the servants Of the
law.
Do thou no paltry stealing-do II
grand;
Fashion thy schemes from patterns
we'll approved
In general worship paid to opulence,
And homage to the genteel crime-suc-
cess.
So shalt thou seize thy gains with Bet

And 'scape annoyance from the petty
rules
And regulations made for common
thieves.
Then build thee round with splendor'
to command
The admiration of the baser world,
And make thyself in insolence a king
A royal rascal whom the laws respect
Because success respecteth not the law.

Not Very Surprising.

It is not surprising to read that the
Nicaragua canal scheme is, in reality,
gigantic piece of stock job
berry. The surprising thing would
be to find out that it isn't.
1t will be remembered that
Warner Miller, the chief promoter of
the Nicaragua grab, is a close friend
of Hanna, visited him during the pres
idential campaign, and was, in fact, the
senator's guest but a few weeks ago.
This circumstance establishes the con-
nection of the administration with the
project in such way as to lead to the
inevitable inference that another cam
paign debt will be liquidated when the
Nicaragua jobbers are satiated. 1t is
true that the Republican party is COM
mitted. by its platform, to the Nicara-
qua canal scheme, but it is also true
that the Republican party is not above
trading off paragraphs in its platforms
for substantial equivalents. That this
has been done in the Nicaragua canal
matter is only too evident.-Cleveland
Recorder.

DID HE DO WELL7
We Mean the Man Who Voted for Pres.
ent Conditions.

The closing of the great lumber mills
at Glenbrook, Nevada, is an object les
son which some of our anti-silver
friends may study with profit. These
mills have been in operation twenty
four years, says the Stockton, CAL,
Mail. The wages paid have been high.
Mr.. Bliss, the head of the concern, mas
treated his employees as friends and
fellow workers-not as mere machines
to be used awhile and flung away when
worn out. Perhaps nowhere in the
world was there happier or more
prosperous working community.
The closing of the mint doors to sill
yer has closed the silver mines OF Ne
vada. The closing of the silver mines
has ruined the lumber business. Nor
has the revivifying influence of pro
lection" succeeded in saving the life OF
such communities as this at Glenbrook
In the last election the majority OF
the men of California voted to kill the
great industry of silver mining. Sill
yer mining was killed. That result
has filled the sleek spectators and rich
schemers of Wall street with joy. But
it has brought distress upon our neigh
bors, and Frustrated the industries OF
the states which are near to us and
which do business with us.
The other night 200 wealthy gentle
men sat down to dine in New York,
and when the costly feast had been
eaten, and while the corks popped and
the smoke of fragrant cigars curled up
ward, they rose to their feet and cheer
ed the announcement of the chairman
that silver was dead. The same week
some 200 American workmen gathered
in Glenbrook to learn that there was
no longer work for them.
They, too, were told that silver was
dead. But they did not cheer. They
went silently, soberly homeward to tell
wives and children that the job was
gone, that there was no bread winning
for willing hands, and God knows
what else of sorrowful tidings that
come to a community thrown out OF
work.
There are tsose who will cheer with
the enthusiastic Wall street gather
ings. For our part we prefer to SYM
pathize with the sorrowful Glenbrook
folk. Over against the rich feast, the
costly wines, the laughter and good
cheer of the millionaires we set the
silent mills, the empty larders and the
distressed idleness Of a once happy
community of American workmen, and
we ask the man who voted for all this,
II he did well.

PROTECTION AND PRICE
High Priced Dollars Arc Cutting tho
Wages at Fall River.

That the Fall River cotton mill man
employees 10 per cent is not surpris-
ing, but this action suggests several
questions.
In the first place, why should wages
be cut when the country is enjoying
such an unprecedented flood Of pros
perity that the Republican newspapers
have scarcely editorial space enough to
exploit the glorious tidings?
Again, it seems rather inconsistent
that under the beneficent influence of
the Dingley tariff home industry"
such as cotton manufacturing should
be under the necessity of cutting
wages.
But the treasurer of one Of the Fall
River mills says the only hope for the
cotton trade is IAN improvement in the
print cloth market" says the Chicago
Dispatch. Can it be possible that this
treasurer is an advocate of gold mono
metallism and yet an advocate of cheap
dollars? When he expresses hope for
rising market ne utterS ueSlre III
cheaper" dollars.
This fact is made especially clear by
the Atlanta Constitution, as follows:
when the dollar depreciates, even
with respect to print cloth, it is no
longer sound More than that, any
injury would be done to the holder OF
the dollars who wants to buy print
cloth. He can buy now at the mills
forty-odd yards for dollar. Should
the price rise even to four cents yard,
the holder Of the same dollar could
only buy twenty-five yards. This would
be reputation. Does the mill treas
urer want to swindle the unfortunate
holder Of the dollar in this way?
There are two lessons taught by the
situation at Fall Rivera lesson on the
tariff and lesson in regard to finance.
Has this treasurer who wants higher
prices for his goods the broadness OF
mind to understand these lessons?
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-01-21

transforming goes steadily on. Il
stops not for season of plenty or ad-
yersity. One combination after an
other is consummated and the under
man squeals every time. The latest is
the steel rod, wire and nail trust, and
]. Pierpont Morgan, prince of the trust
makers, is the head. Morgan will have
power far beyond anything the Roths-
childs ever thought Of, if he is spared
to live few years more. And every
turn he makes is at the direct detri-
ment of the public. The voters Of the
country had only begun to appreciate
the trust danger when six and a half
millions of them last November cast
their ballots for a man pledged to
throttle the octopus. But in the next
election this issue will far transcend
anything else in Importance. Silver
nor tariff can touch it, The very life
blood of the people is being drawn by
these combinations. The larger cities
are being fed by the sacrifice of the
smaller. The railroads foster the ten
dency. 1t comes to be a question
whether or not the government some
day will not be faced with the problem
of absorption of the railroad and tele-
graph systems as we'll as the great in
dustrial enterprises. That's why the
government talks about building an ar
NOR plate plant. 1t, itself, is coping
with a combination.-Kno Senti-

Not without Disaster.

We have to do with ideal theories

listed since the origin of human society
They co-exist because the two together
are necessary, by their quantity, to
meet the needs of circulation. This ne
cessity of two metals, has it ceased to
exist? Is it established that the guam
tity of actual and prospective gold is
such that we can now renounce the
use of silver without disaster?-M
Rouland, governor Of the Bank OF
France.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-01-21

And now the New York gold bug
papers tell us that if England had ac-
cepted the offer of our commissioners
for silver coinage, Wall street would
have given this country panic such
that the one of '93 would not serve
even as a sample. They say that Eng
lands statesmen and business men
saved us. To which we will simply add
that one of these days Wall street will
give us one panic too many, and she
will need several Englands to save bar.

Now that the administration has
shown, through its mouthpiece Gage,
that it is in favor Of the gold standard
for this country and against bimetal-
lsm, will the bimetallic commissioners
accept such evidence as conclusive? If
not, what further evidence does it de-
sire of the bad faith Of the administra-
tion?-Silver Knight Waterman.
