Opinion Shapers.

The question of the fusion of
Democrats and Popnlists naturally
brings up this question: How is it
that PopuIists have brains enough
to formulate a platform and are
not smart enough to hold Office!
In Missouri we notice that the
POpulists furnish the fusion and the
platform while the Democrats fill
the otliccs.-Miller County Auto
gram.
The first quarter of the present
year shows Il less number of fail
urcs in business than the CORES
ponding months of any year since
1898. The total number for the
quarter was 3,515, against 4,512
for the corresponding months of
1896, and the total liabilities were
only S36, 19S, 566 against So, ,513.-
926 in the corresponding months

Missouri is to be honored with

Appeals TO Reason.

TIE undi5turbed financial condi-
ton Of the country thus far under
MckinIcy's administration and
continued gold standard policy,
coupled with the heavy accrctions
Of gold in the national treasury.
the diminishing number Of business
futures, the higher prices for farm
products and the general improve
ment in industrial life throughout
the United States, is one grand and
eloquent appeal to the reason Of
the voting masses of the people.
This appeal has doubtless already
awakened many to the sense of
their error among those who fol-
lowed false gods two years ago at
the bchest OF the political dcna-
gogtles who preached that they had
come to save the world from tinan-
ciai destruction. There are still
many others, who, not entirely
blinded by the prejudice of party
politics, must soon see the light be
fore them that guides onward to
the true faith.
The dem"rouucS of the popo-
cracy will soon be among the vo-
tiers again. Free silver will be the
theme, bat their plan Of ;,rgumcn:
will have changed from that used in
1896. Since that year it has been
discovered that the price Of wheat
and the price of silver bad 10 aiiin-
ity with each other; that the coin
age Of silver has not pccn stopped.
No raid has been made upon the
gold reserve, and consequently no
bonds were issued in time of peace
to keep the reserve fund at point
OF safety. The bont;hO!ucrS have
not corncrcd the entire circulating
medium and left the farmer with
ont the whcrcwithall in which to pay
his taxes. We have all heard
these arguments and we know now
that they had no foundation in fact.
Let the voter listen to the prompt
ings of his intelligent thought III
stead of to the pleadines of the
Popocratic dcmagoguc, whose self
ish motives are hiddcd by the os-
tensihle pretentionsthat he is the on
| ly vehicle by which good govern
ment and a safe financial system Can
be conveyed to the people.

Final Step To Be Taken
To-Day.
Troops Are Moving South.
Navy IS Ready.

Both houses of Congress passed
a joint resolution Tuesday for in
terycntion in Cuba. and it will be
signed by the President to-day.
This will be equivalent to a declara-
ton of war. Spain will be given
all ultimatum to-day, probably Y a
forty eight hours notice to cyacu-
ate Cuba.
Everything indicates that actual
hOstilities will be at hand before
the end of another week. Spain
will evidently make Il stand.
United States troops are being
moved South as rapidly as possible
The army will be modified at

and in strength it is estimated to
be inferior onl y to that Of Eng

Money For War.

The plans for raising the ncces-
sarv cash with which to vigorously
prosecute the impending war with
Spain seem to be well maturcd.
The Ways and Means Committee
Of the House appears to have def
initely settled upon basis of taxa
ton for immediate purposes. One
feature Of this contcmplates secur-
ing about one hundred millions of
additional revenue by an increased
tax of dollar a barrel on beer, Il
stamp tax on bank checks. an ad-
ditional tax on tobacco, a duty of 3
cents a pound on tea, with All inter
nal tax of 4 like amount on all the
tea and coffee in store in the coun-
try.
This will not necessarily increase
the price of living to those who do
not regard the articles mentioned as
ncccssarics.
1t is also proposed to empower
the Secrtary of the Treasury to is
sue temporary treasury certificates
to pay running expenses whenever
the cash resources of the Treasury
arc not adequate for pressing
needs.
Another proposition which seems
to be an essential part of the gener-
al plan is to make an issue of five
hundred millions in bonds, with
provisions for offering these bonds
in small denominations-as low, it
is reported, as fifty dollars-direct
to the people through the post
offices of the country. Every citi-
