There ought to be an Injunction got
ten against the goldocrats designating
their Infamous schemes of wholesale
conhscation Of the property Of the peo-
pie as reform" They p,..-.o 49, re-
form as the devil believes In holy
water.-Bradford Silver Star.
The Republican administration haS
fought the proposition to tax its mil.
llonaires slush fund contributors for
war purposes with much greater ardor
than It has shown against the Spar
lards.-Journal of Agriculture.
One paper says that the gentlemen
who would raise the question of sill
yer coinage in the present emergency
ought to be behind the guns at Moro
Castle. Well, we think that the blood
suckers who are planning to fasten an
additional and unnecessary tax on the
productive energies Of the people
should be placed in front of the heav-
lest artillery and fred over to Cuba
Cleveland Recorder.
No doubt the government can pay
its war expense with treasury notes.
The people will take them. A bond
issue means unnecessary expenses
Phoenix Gazette.
It is reasonably safe to say that II
Bryan had been president and Byran
men in power, there would not now be
a Spaniard on the island Of Cuba, and
the Maine outrage would have been
avenged within a week Of its happen
ing. That is one thing that may be
said of the man from the West and the
men from the West and South who
are behind him.-Brann's Iconoclast.
The war with Spain would be
double blessing to him (Hanna) II 1t
should stop the war on him in Ohio.
He could shake off his pursuers VINO
are after him for buying seat In
the senate and pursue without inter-
ruption his business of doing the gov
eminent out of all the money he can
on contracts and other political job
bery.-Louisville Dispatch.
In order to raise money for the prose-
cution of the war the administration
proposes to issue $500 ,000 900 in bonds
This would mean millions in profit for
the bondholders and the saddling Of
another great interest bearing debt
upon the producing classes. The money
power is behind this scheme. 1t would
be another lever in the hands of Wall
street and the Rothschilds; enabling
them to draw still tighter the screws
which bind the shackles upon tbs
masses; giving the Shylocks another
lease of life and power and enabling
them to dictate still further our coin
age policy and direct our legislation
generally.-Auburn Herald.
The Dingley war revenue measure
levies two-thirds of the taxes imposed
on consumption, one-third on business
transactions and not cent on the vast
accumulated wealth of the country. In
this, as in all wars, the poor do the
fighting and also foot the bills. The
rich buy bonds that will tax posterity.
and then howl against PENSIONS
Cleveland Recorder. !
Charles Dick, secretary Of the ma
tional Republican committee, has
closed his office and joined the Eighth
Ohio regiment for service in the field.
Soldering is good deal better bust
ness from any point of view than dis
tributing funds and laboring with re-
calcitrant statesmen and legislators In
the interest of Marcus A. Hanna. The
latter gentleman by the war, is chair
man of the committee Of which Mr..
Dick is secretary. Why not make the
thing unanimous? Let Hanna volun-
teer, too.-Phoenix Gazette. :
