Stuck to the Main Question!


The Republican party refuses to
discuss the silver question, and i'm
plores the leaders of the Democratic
party to suppress debate upon that
subject within the party ranks, for the
ostensible reason that agitation of
financial questions tends to disturb
business and depress values. We have
never yet known an Anglo-Saxon to
implore help from his enemy when he
was fighting winning battle. When
a man has right, reason and justice
with him, he is not prone to shun the
arena of debate, but when he knows
that he has neither of these on his side
he desires TO say as little as possible
about it. II the Gold Standard crowd
had the best of the argument-if they
had cause that would appeal to the
heart and conscience of the nation
they would never hide behind the mis-
cradle subterfuge of disturbed business
and depressed values. They would be
eager for the fray as long as a silver
advocate could be found.
Let any fair-minded man ask himself
s.why is it that books like Coins FL
nancial School are not allowed to be
sold on trains? Why was their sale
prohibited, when each train newsdeal-
er was selling from twenty to forty of
these books each day?r If the gold
crowd are so sure they are right, why
is it that the news companies they
control report such works as Cesar
Column" and COINS Financial School,
as being out of print, when as a matter
of fact they know their report to be
false? Nothing is better settled than
that they wish to stiffe discussion. The
champions of no good cause pursue
this course.
The question for Democrats to de-
eide is, shall these people be allowed
to persuade US to cease our attacks
upon their weakest point? Shall the
fight of this year and nineteen hun
dred be upon ground that we select, or
upon ground which our enemies select?
Every plutocratic parasite that plays
the Judas in the Democratic party ad-
vocates the retirement of the silver
question quite as strenuously as do the
Republicans. The plain question for
Democrats to decide is, shall they be
allowed to control the fortunes of the
Democratic party? Agitation for any
great reform in behalf of the people as
against the classes is sought to be sup
pressed because it will injure business.
sit will injure business, is the plea of
the thief caught with stolen goods in
his hands, The right never suffers from
free, full and fair discussion. The
wrong always sees great injury to bus
mess from agitation.

OUR Republican friends enacted pro-
tective legislation in order, as they
said, that American labor might live.
Benefiting trusts and other combina-
tions that prey upon the people was
the thing farthest from their thought.
The Republican orator could not talk
about Free Trade without shedding
salt and bitter tears over the condition
Of the laboring man in this country, if
a free trade policy should be adopted.
The pauper labor of Europe and the
rest of the world was a standing night
mare to him. But as the fall days go
by this year we hear very little of the
old song. A new refrain issues from
his lips. He wants to take in Cuba
and Porto Rico, that the pauper-raised
sugar, tobacco and fruit of those Is
lands may come to US without any in
reference from custom-house officials.
He wants the annexation of Hawaii, in
order that the lepers and Cinnamon of
those islands may compete with the
plantation hand OF the cane fields of
the South. He wants to annex all the
islands of the Pacific, in order that raw
material may be made cheap. Expan-
sion is on his tongue whenever he
opens his mouth to speak. Protection
has lost its power as word to conjure
with. What a blessing it is that the
Republican orator does not have to be
consistent If consistency is a jewel,
he does not care to wear that kind of
jewelry. The Republican orator must
say what the sugar trust and kindred
combinations tell him to say.

A Sound, Common.Sense Decision.

Few rulings of the State Supreme
Court have involved greater general in
terest to the people of Missouri than
the decision of Judge VIM. G. Marshall
in the Nickel insurance case. In this
decision Judge Marshall brushes aside
the technicalities behind which insur-
ance companies have so successfully
evaded responsibility, and decides the
case on the broad principles of right,
Justice and common sense.
In 1894 S. M. Nickel, Linn county
merchant, lost his stock of goods by
fire. He carried a policy in the Phe-
nix Insurance Company Of Brooklyn.
The fire destroyed the entire stock. A
few days after the disaster Nickel went
to the local agent of the company who
had taken the risk, collected the pre-
MUM, and in fact. transacted all the
business between Nickel and the COM
pany, and asked for Information as to
how to proceed in notifying the COM
pany of the loss. The agent told Nick
ell there was no necessity to make a
proof of loss; that the company's ad-
juster would he there in few days and
settle with him. The adjuster failed
to come, Nickel again spoke to the
local agent and was again assured that
1t would be all right, and he wrote a
letter to the company. telling them of
the loss, and gave it to Nickel, who
mailed it. Failing TO hear from the
company, Nickel finally employed an
attorney, who made out proof of loss
in proper form and forwarded it to the
Chicago office, but not until after the
time specified in the policy for notice
of loss had expired. The company re-
fused to pay because the proofs of loss
were not received within the 80 days
specified in the policy. Nickel brought
suit for the amount named in the policy.
The case went through the Circuit
Court and the Kansas City Court OF APP
peals, and was taken to the Supreme
Court.
Judge Marshall wrote the opinion of
the Supreme Court.
In very full and elaborate opinion
he shows clearly that the powers of the
local agent are not limited to select
ing the insurance, countersigning the
policy, collecting the premium, waiv-
ing forfeitures, extending the time of
payment of premiums and like which
occur prior to a loss, but that such
local agent has the power to represent
the company after loss when the ben
efts for which the assured has paid in
the shape of premiums are to flow from
the company to the assured. as we'll as
before the loss when the premiums
flowed from the pockets OF the assured
into the Golfers of the insurance COM
pany."
Judge Marshall further held that
such local agent was general agent,
and not mere special agent having

SINCE 1891 the general average OF
prices has fallen from seventy-two in
that year to sixty-four in August of
1898. Since May, 1898, the general
average of prices has fallen nearly two
per cent. This is sure indication of
prosperity-the less the value of what
we have the greater our prosperity
This is the new doctrine of prosperity.
Perhaps the Saurbeck tables are an in
vention of the lunatics who want to
disturb values by reestablishing BIZ

The new Oregon Senator, elected
last week, is loo-loo, up-to-date. His
name, Joseph Simon, is suggestive of
usury and the chink of gold when it is
yellow, and reminds one of the good
old time when the strong sword hand
held the herd in proper subsection.
But he has the courage to openly avow
the sentiments his Republican eonfreres
generally hide behind a mass of fair
seeming words:
II favor the retention of the entire
Philippine group and should not
agree to the ratification of treaty that
RENTS any portion of them to Spain.
l am for government construction and
control of the Nicaragua canal, and
favor Pacific cable. / am for larg-
er standing army and greater navy.
/ am especially anxious for firmer es-
tablishment of the gold standard and
reformation of the currency by retire
ment of government paper obligations
and creation of a banking currency.
These measures are of great urgency,
both because of our prospective trade
expansion and because pCstponement
can only result in disaster when the
next inevitably financial difficulties
arise"
No American want to 'sremit" any
thing to Spain: but all consistent
Americans are in favor of "remitting"
to the peoples of the islands the lands
to which heaven has given them birth
right. To pursue any other course
would in effect declare the Declaration
of independence fraud, and its as
severations relative to the right of a
people to govern themselves tissue
of lies.

power to act only when the company
was to be benefited

power to act only when the company
was to be benefited.
In closing his opinion Judge Mar
shall says: IF insurance companies
doubtful ability or honesty of their
local agents to represent them after
loss, they should distinctly provide in
their policies to whom aud where the
proofs of loss should be sent. The
courts ought not to be asked to indulge
presumptions of want of authority in
said local agent to aid the company in
technically avoiding liability after the
rich harvest of years OF premiums has
been garnered and enjoyed. The
weight of authority, of analogy and of
reason and justice supports the author
ity of such local agent to waive proof
of loss, either in writing or by parol,
or by matters in pals which amount to
an estoppel."
This case is the first one of its kind
to reach the Supreme Court. Judge
Marshall's decision lays down a rule
so just and fair that it cannot be sue
cessfully attacked or criticised. 1t will
effectively put stop to the vexatious
delays and heavy losses which have SO
often been sustained by citizens of this
State who by reason of mere TECHNICAL
ty have been prevented from collect
ing from the insurance companies the
amounts justly due them. The people
of Missouri are to be congratulated
upon having this important question
set at rest in our State.

THE Democrats OF Missouri have as
sured victory in their power, and, in
view OF the momentous questions pre-
saged by the elections this fall, it
would be criminal to let victory fail

depends the continuance of a govern
ment by the people for the people. A
