If Great Britain brushes the liberty
loving Beers of South Africa, it will
be a colossal crime against civili-
cation.
The subjects of Great Britain In the
Transvaal are engaged almost to a
man in mining, and are treated better
than miners in any other country in
the world. The Transvaal is a verit-
able miners paradise. The taxes i'm
posed are very light. The Canadian
tax of ten per cent on the Klondike
miners is more than sixty times
greater than the Transyaal tax, while
the tax in some of the British South
African colonies is l47 times greater
than those levied by the Beers. All
talk about England having a Just
cause for war against the little Boer
republic, on account of its treatment
OF these miners is rank hypocrisy.
England coyets the gold fields of the
little republic, and will resort to MUIR
der to secure them, England has men
and means enough to murder every
man and woman for that matter, in
the Transvaal and blot out of exist
ence the flag of that country, but in
SO doing she will leave blot upon her
own flag that it will take generations
to wash Out, Manchester Democrat.

The Right of Criticism.

One of the sacred rights guaranteed
to the people in such government as
ours, is the right to criticize courts,
legislators, congressman, senators,
governors and in fact every function
airy, from the highest to the lowest.
The bred Scott decision was criticised
and rebelled against until it was over
turned by the greatest rebellion the
world ever witnessed aided by the
emancipation proclamation, it's author
during his contest with Judge Douglas
for the Illinois senatorship being I'M
sparing in its criticism and condemn
alton.
Courts are made. up of men, men
who like all their fellowmen are fall
lible though, perhaps, not corrupt.
When corrupt Jeffries presides it is
public duty for every man who
prizes his liberty to criticize his judi
cial acts. When judges, for political
reasons, as did the supreme court of
Iowa, in it's decision overturning the
constitutional amendment, it is the
right and duty of honest men to criti-
else and protest.
Every appeal from lower to a
higher tribunal, is a criticism of the
court, appointed by law. Acquiescense
in the decision of court does not
carry with it restriction againstagita-
ton against it and efforts to have it
reversed.
A decision like that in the income
tax case, where judge changed his
opinion through the potency of the
opinions of those to be affected there
by, is justly the subject of criticism
and of effort for it's reversal.
Brother Adams, of the Times, and
county attorney Converse, we under
stand, deny the people this right. A
government that would concur in
their view would be adespotism which
in free America would require a stand
ing army.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
The state Supreme Court Holds Tint
the Temple Amendment Concern
ing Contracts Is Invalid.

An important decision has been
handed down by the Iowa supreme
court in the case Of Maine against the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road,
brought on a rehearing to test the CON
atitutionality of the Temple amend
ment passed by the last general assem-
bly,, providing that the contract be-
tween the employe of any railroad and
an insurance relief department main
tanned by the road shall not constitute
bar to proceedings which may be in
stituted against the road for damages.
The court reaffirms its former decision
and holds that such contract is bar
to suits for further damages. The Tenn
pie amendment was an issue in the plat
forms of three political parties here
two years ago, all of whom Endorsed it,
but the supreme court now knocks it

Mckinley. Emperor.

So enamord Of imperialism has Will
liam Mckinley became thathe ignores
the declaration which asserts that all
governments derive their just power
from the consent of the governed.
This sentence is to him outworn and
in his speeches he talks like an en-
peror with subSeryient parliament
at his beck and call.
Mckinley realizes that he has not
yet been crowned, but he feels the i'm
pulse of kingly command.
With royal condescension in speak
ing of the Filipinos, Mckinley says:
II feel assured that congress will
provide for them a government which
will bring them blessings, which will
promote their material interest as we'll
as advance their people in the paths
| of civilization and intelligence"
Never before in the history of this
country has its president such
a tone.
Never before has the chief magi-
strate spoken of congress as having the
authority to provide" millions of
people with government.
In the paragraph quoted from Nc
Kinley's speech the people are ignored
Their wishes are not consulted. They
are treated as conquered race sub
jects of royalty.
This sort of talk will not appeal with
any great force to the free people of
the United States. Enjoying liberty
themselves they will not be disposed
to refuse it to Others. William Nc
Kinley-emperor-has grown toogreat
for his environment. He should be a
king of some little principality in Eu-
ope.=-DemOcrdt.

Hon. ii. G. Bell in the Jeffersonian
Democrat says: nThe use of 1,.oneu is
cheap because men cannot take it at its
present low rate of interest and make
a profit from its use by reinyesting it
in either property or in business. .
"But" he says 'money itself is not
cheap but dear" If you go to a bank'
he says "to get $1,000 for so days you
baty the use of 1t and must return the
money with the accumulated interest
at the end of that time. When the
farmer goes to buy money, be the guam
tity much or little, he must leave
with the person who parts with the
money sufficient of his property or
products to pay for it. 1t is then
that the farmer ascertains that money
is very dear, or, expressed in other
terms, that his property or products
are very cheap. Gold standard men
conceal or lose sight of these dis
functions, and thereby delude the men
who do not stop to think, that because
the use of the money held in banks or
loan agencies is cheap. that it's sale is
also cheap; but the price of his pro-
duct refutes that theory,

To Develop Lead Mines.

Two eastern capitalists, j. II. Stock
ton and w. R. Clark, are in Dubuque
with view TO develop the lead mines of
the city, which biologists have declared
to be as rich as those of Joplin, Mo. Be
sides lead, the country is rich with zinc
mineral. The trouble heretofore has
been that only surface digging was
done The vast bodies of mineral lie be-
meath the water level. With the water
drained off, there would be a heavy out
put. 1t is stated that Messrs. Stockton
and Clark are quietly buying options
on several mines.

Profit and Loss.

When the adminiStra ton gets ready
to make report to the people as to
the profit and an loss of the policy OF
imperialism, how will the account
stand?
Certainly not in favor of a policy
which burdens the nation with taxes
and gives no adequate return.
In 1890 the national receipts were
s403, $50, 1882 and the expenditures $685.
04O,710, and the army and navy cost
the government 500, 5S9,044.
How does the account stand for the
present fiscal year?
The receipts were $515, $3.50, 500 and
the expenditures 1905, or, 179, of which
S293, 7S5, 359 went for the army and
navy.
While McKinley's administration
has increased taxes and raised the
revenue in every possible way, the de-
felt this year amounts to $50, Ill ,559.
Taxes have been increased 81 per
cent by the republican admins
tration and the expenditure has doub-
led since 1890. Not only this, but
the Understanding debtof the gov
eminent has grown from $500, 600, 900
to 81, 1872, 149,05o.
Now, what has Mckinley to show
for this enormous increase In debt and
taxes?
The war with Spain ended more than
a year ago. This nation is supposed
to be at peace with all other nations,
yet war expenses go on at an increased
scale.
1t will be difficult for Mckinley to
make his profit and loss account bal.

are patriotic, but they are not imperi.

it comes to. Chicago Democrat.

An idea of the enormous profits of
the trusts was conveyed to the indust-
rial commission the other day when
President Daniel G.. Reed, of the
American Tinplate company testified
that Judge Moore Of Chicago was paid
$4,000, 900 for organizing, the tinplate
trust. The combination is capitalized
at $50, 900, 900 and of this amount $1S,-
100000 is preferred and 100000
common stock. All but S4,O00,0O2 of
the latter is issued. AS the preferred
stock represents the actual value and
all but 81 900, 900 of the common stock
has been issued, s2s,O90,0OO of the
capitalization represents water. To
pay dividends on this the price of tin
plate has been nearly doubled. The
box which year ago cost $3.50 now
costs S4.65. And while the price has
been increased 1873 per cent, thus fore
ing consumers to pay large profits on
$4,000, 900 Of fictitious capital, wages
have been advanced but Is per cent.
In fact, as wages had been previously
reduced 10 per cent, the advance has
amounted to only per cent. OF the
100000, 900 additional which the trust
is now annually taking from buyers of
tinplate, only 100000 goes to labor.
The remainder goes into the pockets
of the monopolists. Dubuque 1ele-

miners as soon as possible, and are I'M
able to secure them. They have been
