THE BOND PURCHASE.
Some Pertinent Questions For Mr.
Sage to Answer.

Some Pertinent Questions For Mr..
Sage to Answer.
The country will be glad to know
that Russell S::ge approves of the gov
eminent bonl purchase. Mr.. Sage says
that the financial world is saved from
disastrous panic says the New York
News. We would like to put few
questions to Mr.. Sage. who was Nc
Kinley partisan In 1896: How is it that
the country is so nearly on the verge
of a panic that an addition Of $2S.O0O,-
COO to the circulating medium is neces-
sary to avert disaster?
Was not Mckinley the advance agent
of prosperity?
Have not $G,OOOOOO.OOO in stocks and
bonds, mostly New Jersey born, been
foated within IL months?
Would we have had repetition Of
the reaction Of 1893 were the govern
ment not well to do and able to bolster
up waning stock market?
Would the government be well to do
had not sources of federal revenue
been broadened to meet the probable
emergencies of a foreign war?
Suppose the surplus reserve In Wash
ington now was only $1O0.OOO,COO.
Would Secretary Gage dare to let go
of nearly $3O.OOO.OOO even to oblige his
friends. the money changers Of Wall
street?
In another place Mr.. Sage says that
Cages action "opens up the avenues Of
money and that people who have cash
to lend are not afraid to let 1t go when
they know the government Is ever
ready to help them"
Why should the government help
people who have cash to lend? If a
capitalist foolishly stakes spectators
who put up collateral securities that
afterward slump to value below the
original loan. what business Is 1t of
the governments?
AS matter Of fact. Mr.. Sage makes
mistake common to Republicans by
assuming that 1t Is the governments
duty to give financial assistance to in
dividuals, whereas it is the lndividu-
ais duty to give financial assistance to
the government.
Mr.. Sage is quite certain that Presi-
dent Mckinley has assured his own
reelection by becoming bond broker
and enabling Wall street sharpers to
clean up $4,000, 900 within "a hours.

AS the shipyards already have more
orders than they can fill, why should
the people be taxed to "revive" their
industry? If the government is to en-
courage ship owning by lavish sub
sidy. why should the shipbuilders be
permitted by combination to take the
bounty to themselves? And. finally.
why should the people be taxed to en-
courage the already profitable bust

help the less prosperous business of

OHIO NEXT YEAR.
Democrats Will Carry II, According
to llanna's Own Figures.

Democrats Will Garry II, According
to lianna's Own Figures.
The st. Louis Republic takes Sena-
tor Hanna's figures before election and
by using them In connection with the
Ohio returns figures out u Democratic
victory in the Buckeye State next year.
1t reasons as follows:
The statement made by the boss Of
the Republican party that the result
proves beyond q possibility Of doubt
that Mckinley will carry Ohio over
whelmingly next year is refuted by an
other statement made by the same
distinguished person few days be-
fore the voting took place.
Hanna declared that Jones would
draw three to one more heavily from
the Democratic than from Republican
strength. What lie predicted seems to
have come to pass. In round numbers
Jones received 10000 votes, Nash
345, 900 and Mclean 301 900.
1t is not at all likely that Jones will
be running next year. II he does not,
his vote will be divided between the
two parties, unequally, of course. Jones'
share of the total vote, let it be re-
iterated. was 10000. and, according to
Mr.. Hanna's statement, Is per cent Of
1t was cast by Democrats.
Hence, II the information of Mr..
Hanna, who Is reputed knowing man
In matters touching elections, Is to be
relied on, the prediction is justified
that the Democratic candidate for
president will get $500 more votes
than Mclean got. which will aggre-
gate him 3s3,5OO votes, while Mr.. Nc
Kinley will get the remaining one
fourth Of the Jones vote. which. added
to the total Nash vote, will only net
him 372.5OO.
This calculation Is not. mind you.
bottomed on Democratic allegations,
but upon the deliberate declaration of
Senator Marcus Alonzo Hanna. 1t
will be seen. therefore. that his fam
buoyant prediction that his bosom
friend will carry Ohio next year was
rcfuted by his own counter statement
previously delivered.-Topeka State
Journal.

the number of participants is large,
then two platters are laid, one at each
end of the table, or there may be two
small tables. with a platter on each.
Next the raisins are laid over each
platter, singly and at short distances
apart. small quantity Of brandy or
gin Is then poured over each platter
