Money QUESTION Vital.

The money question is also a
vital one. 1t has ever been a con-
test between the government and
the would-be self-appointed agents.
The democratic party holds
that the government, and the govern
ment alone, may issue currency and
NAV coin it's money. The democratic
party has ever held that it needs no
brokers, and no commission agents
between it and the people; that it was
a government prerogative, a right be-
longing to the government alone. On
the other side intriguing men are
found who want to strip the govern
ment of that power. 1t has ever been
their aim to make a currency that
should be as scarce as possible, with
which to carry on the business of the
country. We claim that
the government. and the government
alone, has the power to coin and issue
of value. This is right
full and just ground. and one for
which our party has always stood and
will continue to stand. Government
coming of money aud the issuance of
notes are alike solely
function. The govern
ment should declare what shall be
money and what shall be its volume.
Issuance of circulating notes is no
more within the province of private
banking corporations than is the coin
age of gold and silver, or the issu
ance of government bonds. Banks of
deposit and discount are as necessary
20 business as the circulation of the
blood is to the body. but thay should
not be allowed to issue any form of
paper currency"
In conclusion Mr.. Mclean said the
democratic party was n peacc-loviDg
party, a liberty-loving party and
would always stand forth as the
champion, the conservator of the
people.

believe that a rational friendly course
could have made the Filipinos our
friends, and even at this time fairness
aud justice would bring peace. Dip
lomacy, that arm of all civilized gov

military secrecy of the administ a

beyond all declarations was the fact
that England was in need of an ally in

Trusts Menace to People.

Mr.. Mclean said another men,
ace to the people of the United States
was what was known as the trusts.
They antagoniZed the law of supply
and demand, substituting in their
place limited outputs of products at
prices enhanced TO the limit. Under
the plausible claim for "a fair return
on the investment, their work was
done. So friendly had the republican
been to their creators
that the trusts formed within the last
two years exceeded in capitalization
all that had been organized before.
Individual effort was rapidly being
crushed by them. and our young men
Just coming on the stage of action
looked in vain for fields of enterprise
in which their fathers fiourished and
by which they developed our country.
Should this great people be bound
hand and foot by the audacity, the
of few able men and
let them become the permanent rulers
where now they only bear temporary
sway? We should not be Americans
if we permitted it.
We are told today that if we an
tagonize the trusts, if we fight their
aggressiveness, their crushing tactics, |
we want to haul down the flag of the |
that we want to destroy
the fame of our country" the speaker
went on. mo one magnate of these |
great concerns saw fit, when the cry
of distress went up from a people |

dollars or themselves for the cause;
but individuals stood forth. and praise

try, love of patriotism, stood above

WELL PUT.

The Portland Oregonian speaks well to the point when it dwells upon the unwisdCm of making unnecessary de claraticns and holding diplomatic re- lations with ''the half-military, half savage leaders of revolution" "A foolish resolution" it continues, passed by congress in a sentimental moment, is making the situation in Cuba one of great embarrassment. ' Though we are not sure that it was altogether sentiment that induced the Cuban &solution, the Oregonian is en- tirely right as to its folly. We are inclined to think that if it were of fered new. it would obtain the support of members who had received or were in search of certain Cuban bonds. but would not te voted for much beyond this. The American nation is not likely to make a similar mistake the second time.-BOston Hera-d

FIGHTING HE STRAW MAN.


 NO section of the United States would benefit more than Arizona through complete and well con- s.dered plan Of federal irrigation. Such being the case, it is somewhat surprising to find any support in that terrf1ory for a plan which would place the aIid lands in the possession of in dividuaIs, or companies. whose on.y object it would be to reap the greatest financial benefits. It would, however. be a mistake to suppose that a major ity of the people of Arizona share these views. On the contrary. the people of the territory, as a whole, are strongly convinced of the desinability of federal irrigation. Los AngeIes Times.
 This and much more saith the Timss in it's regular semi-weekIy whack at it's man of straw-said man being composed of the supposed opposition in this territory to the construction of reservoirs by the government. We take the trouble to tell the Times once more that there IS no opposition of that sort here The difference be- tween our contemporary and the peo- pie of this territory lies in the fact that the people of Arizona are living now; they are working for the up- building of this region now; they want to reclaim the deserts now, and they don't want to wait for the dim, utOpian future wherein everything needed to he done will be done by Uncle Sam Tn other words. however desirable the plan advocated by the Times may be, it is recognized here that there is TO immediate hope for it-no hope for 1t perhaps within the next generation.
 In saying this we except, of course, the proposed reservoir on the Gila, to be constructed at one of the sites now under observation-either at the Buttes, at Riverside, or at the San Carlos site. It is possible that the government will construct a reservoir on that river, but il will be for the primary purpose of supplying the h. d.ans with water for irrigation. If there is surplus of water Cand there undoubtedly will be large surplus) white settlers VIII b5neff- from 1t. and every man Of public spirit in the ter ritory is len6tng his encouragement to the project.

The press is willing to De sacrificed to the exigenuies of diplomacy, and it has no particular complaint to make of Admiral Dewey for writing 70 Ad- miral von Diederichs: 'I rejoice that our differences have been of newspa- per manufacture" if that expression will lubrioate the relations of our gov ernment. But as some of our people are disposed to take this sort of peas antry in dead earnest, and to believe that the wicked newspapers have been lying every time that a statement of theirs receives a perfunctory official denial, it is just as we'll to remind them that Captain Coghlan is not the least bit of a newspaper man. but is naval officer who was for a year inti mately associated with Adm -ral Dewey.

to take over the railroads or build sub treasuries for turnips or do any of the
 many visionary things which many
 we'll nearing enthusiasts shink it
 should do.
 Indeed, the persistent ignoring of
 this patent fact by the Times indi-
 cates. we think, that instead of devot-
 ing it's own good intelligence to the
 subject it has turned it's columns over
 to some monomaniac on the subject of
 government ownership of everything,
 and allows itself to be misled by cor
 respondents seeking notoriety
 Taking the alternative proposition,
 the cession of the and lands, can the Times suggest a practical objection to the plan which does not likewise apply to the national construction plan? l.
 is admitted that there is a strong feel ing throughout the country in favor of cession, whereas there is substantially none in favor of direct construction by the nation. Then why not advocate the plan which will bring quick re- suits? And the Times and some of it's ftanti-monopoly" correspondents should inform themselves as to the movement for the cession of the arid the Carey act to the territories. The Carey act was failure from the first, and for the simple reason that it pro- vided that the lands ceded should be reclaimed before the cession became effective. It was manifest that it could not succeed.
 Undoubtedly, if the lands are ceded and reservoirs are constructed as sequence, corporations the word scares the Times-and individ- uals will benefit or they won't put their money into the projects. But is it reasonable to assume that territorial and local officials will be any less zeal ous in protecting settlers and in get ting full value to the territory than government officials would be? Get ting down to a practical basis, and as the pipe dream of the Times as fulfilled, would not the reclaimed land have to be sold to settlers at q price remun erative of the funds in vested in reservoirs? Could anything more or less be expected if the terri tory had the matter in charge? Or, does the Times expect the government to construct the reservoirs and then throw the lands open to settlement. per the style of the settlement evolved for Oklahoma Dy. the more or less la mented Hoke Smith? There was sure ly enough fraud throughout the opering of Oklahoma, and that under the mediate auspices of the Wash ington officials. to warrant the belief that so far as Arizona is concerned she can, if the desert lands are ceded 70 her, not only improve upon the national plan but protect her treasury. protect her settlers. and protect and encourage as well the capital which IS here needed for our deveIopms snt.
