BY all traditions and training, it
is not doubted that the American
people would sympathize with the
Republic in its fight against Brit
ish encroachments. Yet, by rea-
son of the perfectly definite, though
tacit understanding had between
Mr.. Mckinley and the British Am
bassador, at the opening of the
Spanish war, this government is
committed to approve, and to as
sist. morally at least, Great Brit
ain in its war upon the small re-
public in the Transvaal. 1t must
90 even further. The eyes Of Rus
STA and France are turned impa-
tiently upon the aggresslons Of
Great Britain in Africa, and with
little motto one of these powers may
seize the opportunity to become
embroiled over the division of At
RIGA and portions of Asia.
AS against these two powers, the
earliest and staunchest friends the
United States government has had
in its most critical periods of the
past, this government is pledged
to abet Great Britain. The ALI
ance is limited at in plausible
phrases, Suggesting the wisdom Of
an English speaking union; but
its results are unquestionable. 1t
will mean complications, intricate
relations with many nations all
over thu globe, friendship for some
and enmity for others, and endless
controversies, perhaps wars.
1t is said that the Britons are
authorized to speak openly of the
moral support of the United States
as against all foreign menaces
growing out of the Transvaal, and
if necessary, it is said, open as
surances will be given that this
government desires victory for the
English. 1t is safe to say that not
one American in thousand ap
proves this attitude of the govern
ment. 1t is brought about by i'm
necessary assurances given Great
Britain during the short and unim-
portant war with Spain. The sit
uation is, that the United are pros
ecuting war against struggling
republic in the Philippines, which
meets the cordial appro yal of
England; and that monarchy is
throttling another republic in At
RIGA; and with the approval of this
government as we'll known as if
agreed to by solemn treaty.

THOUGH the governorship is still
in doubt, Kentucky democrats
have the consolation of the knowl-
edge that the Legislature is demo-
cratic. This is admitted by the
republican state committee. and
the fact assures the election of
democratic United States senator.
Toe Blackburn is the party choice,
and Blackburn, it is perhaps need
less to say, is for Bryan and silver
and all that democracy stands for.
while the nominal objection to
Goebel is the election law of which
he is the author, and which is al
legged to aim at and make feasible
boss rule, the real objection to
him is that he is an enemy of the
railway corporations that have so
long dominated the state, and a
champion of popular rule.

gestion Of Chicago cartoonist he

THE BIRTH OF A TRUST.

ToDAY and every hour since the
inauguration of William Mckinley
there has been going on in the fl
nancial centers struggle such as
the world has never before wit
messed. Meath the fanfare of
prosperity, the blare Of clearing
house business, RACES battle to
the death--a fierce, desperate en-
deavor to deceive the people; to
tide the time until the meeting of
congress, and to hide from the re-
publican constituency the total in
adequacy OF gold to do the bust
ness of the world. Nor fan. fare of
prosperity; nor blare Of clearing
house business-No Nor play
upon love and pride of country to
place the flag in conquest over an
inferior people; nor cant of sympa
thy in the lions crushing of a Sis
ter republic, has availed.
That the country is and has been
for many months upon the verge
of financial panic; that the secre-
tary Of the treasury is wrongfully
and shamefully using his Office and
the money of the people in order
to stave off the panic; to bolster
up the gold standard until the
banks can secure such special leg
islation as shall place the volume
of money directly under their con-
troll, cannot longer be concealed.
Some time since the press dis
patches announced "slight strin-
gency" in the New York money
market; to relieve which Secretary
Gage brazenly paid 81 millions of
bond interest in advance, which
helped no one, benefited no one
but the bankers. The stringency
increased. The secretary paid the
bond interest for year in advance
With all the kiting of paper, with
all the favor the combined banking
power of the world can lend; in
spite of the enormous increase in
the production of gold, the strin-
gency grows, necessitating govern
mental aid to avert panic. And
now Russia seeks in vain for a loan
and must borrow or burst London
looks with fear and dread upon
New York, and the New York
bankers plead with the banker
treasurer for money to tide them
till the meeting of congress; to
help them hide the woeful made
quacy of gold that their combina-
ton may not fail.
He has done SO by authorizing
the purchase of bonds to the
amount of S25, 900. He will
take IS millions of dollars. money
ground out OF the people by war
tax to meet the expenses OF war,
and give it to the bankers. This
will carry the banks over until
congress meets, when they expect
to rush the republican banking and
currency bill through, which will
enable them to increase their cir
culation when in need of money,
and to contract and draw it in when
they think the people have too
much for their health, The pas
sage of this bill under the plea of
placing the country upon sound
financial basis, creates money
trust which is governed by the
same principles as governs any
other trust having for its object
the control of production, cost and
price of any of the necessities of |
life. This is the object, end and
aim of sound money and the fight
against silver
THE ENGLISH ALLIANCE

THE ENGLISH ALLIANCE.

The wisdom of Washington in
enjoining Americans to steer clear
of entangling alliances with for
eign governments, is shown very
we'll in the present embarrassment
of the United States in its relation
with Great Britain and the South
African Republic.

CONGRESSMAN Cushman and Sen
ator Foster of Washington are now
in Washington, d. c., entering
protests against the proposed ex-
tension of the Olympic Forest Re-
serve. Congressman Jones and
Senator Turner have both ex-
pressed their disapproval of the
extension OF the Priest River Re-
serve. 1t is evident the forest re-
serves are no more popular in the
state of Washington than they are
In Idaho. Congressman Wilson
is in Washington, d. c., this week
where he will enter a vigorous pro-
test against the proposed extension
of the Priest River Forest Reserve.
Mr.. Wilson will back up his protest
by petitions from more than a
thousand resident tax payers of
Kootenai county.

ONE THING SETTLED.

If the late general elections set
tied any one thing beyond dispute
it was that Bryan and Mckinley
will again be the standard bearers
of their respective parties in the
coming presidential contest.
Both silver and Imperialism will
be very much alive in 1900. The
coming session of congress expects
to face the currency problem, and
in the speeches of its members,
the measures introduced and the
action taken will manufacture ma
terial on which alone a presiden-
tlal campaign could be fought.
The assertion that the financial
question is dead is only
father to the wish. Silver and BIZ
metalism and the rescue of the
government from the hands of the
money power will never die as
issues until they are finally settled
in favor of the people and against
the greed of monopoly.
The question of Imperialism, so
far as being in dying condition.
has not reached an acute stage as
an issue, and will not have done
so until the army and other appro-
priation bills come before congress.
Then the people will begin to ap-
preciate the burden Of taxation in
volved in the Mckinley policy.
