McKinley's Record.

Consistency is not a characteristic
of William Mckinley. Suaye and
pleasing in his personality, irreproach-
able in his family relations, gifted
with genius for making favorable
impression, the president is shifting
in his political policy and trims his
sails to catch favoring winds.
Especially inconssstenth has been Nc
Kinley in his treatment of the money
question. Today he stands in favor
of establishing the single gold stand
ard, yet half dozen years ago he was
a pronounced bimetallist.
Now Mckinley speaks of the 'more
than twenty years of harmful agita-
tion," and yet William J. Bryan
points out that during this period of
what the republicans now call charm
full agitation" Mr.. Mckinley himself
voted for independent bimetallism at
the ratio of 1e to /; that republican
platforms Endorsed it and condemned
Grover Cleveland for opposing it: that
"even in 1895 the whole republican
party declared against the gold stand
ard, and pledged itself to beg Europe
to help this country to let go of it, "
and that an expensive commission was
sent by Mckinley to Europe to try to
get rid of the gold standard.
When President Hayes sent in his
veto of TIE Bland silver coinage bill
providing for turning out silver dol
lars to the extent of SC, 900, 900 month
and making them legal tender for all
debts, public and private, William
Mckinley voted to override that veto.
In 1896 ohe man who is now presi-
dent of the United States and who
favors gold monemetallism in a speech
delivered at Toledo, Ohio, complained
that during all OF President Cleve.
land IS yearo at the head of the gov,
eminent he was dishonoring one OF
our precious metals, one of our great
products, discrediting silver and en-
HANGING the price of gold," and made
it an especial grievance that through.
outhis first administration Cleveland
had persistently used his power tc
stop the aoinage Of silver dollars an6
make money the master, everything
else the servant"
Pleasing as the personality Of Nc
Kinley is it becomes evident from ;
glance over his record that he lacks
firm convictions and is not fitted by
nature or acquired accomplishment
to rule wisely and consistently or
great national questions. &C hicag'

THE COAL INDUSTRY.
The Biennial Report of the State Min,
Inspectors Shows a Large In
crease In. the Output.

Inspector James Miller in his report
of 1897 predicted more general employ
ment and bigger output of the mines of
Iowa during the ensuing biennial pc
Rod. The prediction was verified and
the evidence is contained in the biennial
report of the mine commissioners filed
with the governor, which says:
The 357 mines of the state produced near
ly 100000 tons more coal in 1899 than in
1897, years ending June 30 in each case,
About 100000 tons of the increase were in
1898-1S99. The number of miners in 1S97-189s
1898 they were paid $2,943, It's, and last year
$315,000 more money. Other employees were
paid $1,24S,23O in 1ss7-1sss and s1,52s,933 in
1SsS-1S99.
Inspector ]. A. Campbell says of the First
district that there is no prospect for strikes.
There is considerable prospecting and a
number of new mines are being opened up.
The indication is a continuation of good
work and better prices throughout the dis
trict. In 1895 this district produced 1894, 064
tons; in 1896, 9ss76s; in 1897, 1,025, 7o6.
Inspector John Werner says of the Second
district that the coal is good, the miners
have steady employment and the future is
promising. The eight-hour day is generally
in force. Mr.. Werner thinks it of value to
the operators as well as the miners. There
is no indication of strikes. An advance in
selling price is predicted. The little money
in coal business has been due to the oper-
ators. Signs for a change for better are
favorable. In this district the output in
five years has been: For 1885, 1,347, $50; 1896.
1,4767 700; 1887. 1,572,24o; 1898. 1672.913; 1899,
1,S73,793.
Inspector Miller, reporting for the Third
district, pays an eloquent tribute to the
memory of his predecessor, Mr.. Morgan
Thomas. He says in making his report he
finds that prices are better, wages are
higher and there has been decided change
in favor of those interested in the coal In
dustry. This district produced S53,954 tons
in 1895, LOSS, OPP in 1896 and 1901 7SS in 1897

Imperialism in Practice.

y :
The Administered ion is giving the
country several object lessons. The
Declaration of independence is out of
date and the constitution may not be
mentioned in polite society. In the
pending Porto Rican election McKin-
ley has decreed not only that voters
must have educational and property
qualitica tionS-which will disfranchiSe
three-fourths Of the male adults-but
also that only army officers, members
of liberal professions and landlords
shall be eligible to office. The same
scheme will be proposed for Cuba and
in time for the Philippines. Not only
is slavery recognized in the Sulu is
lands but a strong imitation of chat
tel slavery is in full blast in the Ha-
waiian Islands, where the contract
labor system holds over &C, 900 laborers
to their task as ineXorably as a sent
ence to prison. This infamous in
fringement of the Constitution will
find able Republican defense in Wash
ington this winter, and will probably
stand until a Democratic Administra-
ton wipes it out. Colonial expansion
has it's drawbacks. American work
ingmen should remember that the
armed oppression which the Republi-
can Administration is exercising in
the Philippines is sinister menace of
what will happen to them if the inev-
liable reaction and hard times, not far
distant shall find a Republican Admin
istration still in power in Washington.

See a New Light.

Immediately after the state conven-
ton in August at Des Moines, the
entire republican press of the state,
proclaimed that the democrats in their
platform had gone back on silver,
which had no mention in their plat
form. In this declaration they were
either ignorant or dishonest, and per-
haps both. The purpose then was to
show the silver republicans that they
had been deceived, that the demo
Gratis under the lead and at the sug-
gestion of Bryan had abandoned the
silver question. This is what they
said.
Now they.see a new light, and, rec
.ognizing that the Germans of the
country are opposed to Imperialism
and to war upon the Filipinos in that
behalf and not daring to discuss that
phase Of administrator policy before
the people, they issue and are flooding
Iowa with circulars that read as fol-
lows:
DEMOCRATS. DON'T FORGET 16 TO i.
Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1899-10-20

-
The first plank of the platform
adopted at the Democratic State Con-
vention, held in Des Moines, August
is, 1899, upon which the Hon. Fred E.
White was nominated for Governor,
reads as follows:
1--WE, the Democrats of Iowa, in
convention assembled, unequivocally
and unreservedly endorse the Chicago
National Platform of 1896 IN whole
and in detail and declare unwavering
fidelity and adherence to the same. .
The Chicago platform of 1896, which
the Iowa Democratic platform of 1899
endorses "unequivocally and unreserv-
1--WE demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation"
at Des Moines August Is, 1899: eff
any man tells you that the silver
question is dead he is either trying to
in gross ignorance of the great vital
question before this nations
Democrats, let no one deceive you.
Free silver at the ratio of 16 to / is
the most important issue today. Your
platform demands it and he who seeks
to put any other question before it is
not the friend of the people and is
playing into the hands of the pluto
Gratis.
Silver coined at the ratio of 16. to i
is not only a legal tender, but is the
money almost universally paid to la.
borers for their wages, and to farmers
for their products. Bankers who de-
nounce it as dishonest money, when
they come to pay your check given for
farm products sold, pay it out to you.
But what do republicans propose to
give you in place of silver? They
promise to give you bank notes secured
by the assets of the bank, which in
most cases consists of the office furni-
ture as in the case of the First Nation
al bank of DEBORAH. They propose to
give you money which is 100 to O;
money whose value depends upon the
individual responsibility of the bank
er, and which is not a legal tender for
any of the uses and purposes of bust
ness.
This is the tempting offer they hold
out to the German people of Iowa,
who detest imperialism of which they
have had taste in the old country,
and who perfer any kind of lawful
money of the United States to the
promises of bankers for the redemp-
ton Of the bills they may issue.
