NO LACK OF MATERIAL.
Plenty ot Issues for Democrats IN
the Next Presidential
Campaign.

Democrats should not now determine
what issues shall be emphasized and
what subordinated in 1900. Wisdom to-
dav NAV be madness tomorrow. Let
democrats everywhere be wiser than
serpents and more harmless even than
doves Let them wait and possess their
souls in patience. Political history is
making rapidly nowadays. Men are
weighed each hour in the balance and
their value accurately appraised. He
roes rise and fall in the popular mind
come and go on the great stage
stretched out before US. The republic
an party has in its three years of power
done all it could contriye to do to drag
down the name of the republic and
make it a ruin and shame to every
beholder. They have broken the rec
ords for political infamy since 1896.
Now. let them go on with their con-
genial work Give them all the rope
they would like. Let them multiply
their infidelities one hundredfold. Let
them monopolize that field. Let them
continue to worship the shrines of Han
naism, Algerism and Otisism. Let them
revel in fraud. force, dishonor and in
competency. Let no democrats emu
late these vices of the republican party.
Let US get the whole political situa-
ton sauarely before the American peo-
pie next year: Let US keep conspicuous
Iy in view the crowning glories of re-
publican rule. the ripe fruits of the
Mckinley stration-Hannaism
Otisism and Algerism. The party lead
ers NAV drive out certain individuals.
They cannot get rid of the disease The
whole republican organization is inoc-
ulated. There has been no quarantine.
The epidemic of incompetency and dis
honor is as wide as the continent
Democrats must stamp this political
leprosy out of the body polite of the
nation. To do so they must keep it in
sight as one of the issues of 1900 Let
nothing obscure it, Hold it up before
the eyes of the people Let every ham
let ring with it, Shout it from the
housetops, Write it on the sand hills

LOTS OF WORK, SAYS HANNA.
Still There Are People Who Are
Starving Right i'm the Heart
of New York.

Patrick Cawley, laborer, found faint
ing on the sidewalk and Central ave
nue. and Thirty-eighth street, New
York, dried bit of onion clutched in
one hand, appears to have had a narrow
escape from death by starvation. Ac-
cording to the Chicago Journal, he had
lived for two weeks on an onion day,
stolen from a grocer's, but the diet was
not very sustaining. Probably he
would have varied it had he been a
more skillful thief, but probably he
also had to steal what was in reach,
rather than what he liked. He was
taken to the Bellevue hospital, still
clinging to his bit of onion.
We do not altogether understand the
case of Patrick Cawley. He must have
4 perverse or lazy disposition, or some
thing. He was laid off by a contractor
two weeks ago and it was several days
after, probably, that Senator Hanna de-
clared that any man in this country
who wanted work could get it. In view
of this perfectly plain statement it is
hard to see why Patrick Cawley should
be found lying on the sidewalk nearly
dead of starvation and clinging to a bit
of onion as though it were ten-dollar
bill. There is something strange about
it. Either Patrick Cawley likes to starye
slowly to death on an onion day, and
is willful and contImacious about it,
or else the great and wise senator will
have to make little exception to his
rule-an exception large enough TO
cover Patrick Cawley and his treasure
of stolen onion.-Illinois State Regis

The Currency Question.
THE TRUST MOVEMENT.
Oar Gold Standard, Not the TariG, I'm
Responsible for Its Ex-
iHfence.

Regardless of what President Have
meyer, of the sugar trust, may say, we
assert-and we can prove-that the
gold standard, and not the protective
tariff, is the mother of the trusts
Trusts are organized to control compe-
tition, to reduce the cost of produc-
ton and to raise prices. Incidentally
the tariff assists at the birth of the
trusts and nurses them after they are
born; but if there had been no gold
standard there would have been no
trusts; and the quickest and most feasi-
BILE plan for breaking up these organ
iZations is to restore silver to its legal
rights of free coinage on an equality
with gold and supplement the produc-
ton of silver with issues of govern
ment paper money. Trusts are the nat
ural outcome of our long period of fall
ing prices and lessening profits: and
these are due, as everybody knows, to
the steady contraction of the currency
that has been going on since the de-
monetization of silver in 1873. The way
to cure the evil is to reverse the proc
ess. With abundant money and q
steady increase of population prices
would revive, consumption and demand
would increase and competition would
again come into the field and break
down the trusts. Under the prevail
ing system of currency contraction and
falling prices the volume of consump-
ton is lessened by the inability of the
people to buy, and competition for the
decreasing trade and lessening profits
becomes so sharp and bitter that man
ufacturers of competing goods are COM
PEELED to combine and reduce their ex-
penses or go into bankruptcy. This is
the whole philosophy of the trust
movement, and it cannot be successful
" disputed. The tariff protects the
trusts after they are formed, but it
is not the cause of their existence. Free
trade in trust manufactured articles
would undoubtedly break down the
trusts by bringing in foreign competi-
ton, but this would be very much like
killing the patient to cure the disease.
Instead of tinkering with the tariff
every few years, and thus keeping busi-
ness constantly unsettled and nervous,
let us go to the root of the trouble, re-
store sanity to our insane financial
system and cure the patient without in
jury to our manufacturing interests.
Then after prosperity has been re-
stored we can tinker with the tariff
and bring that also down to a sanity
basis without hurting the vast inter
ests that the tariff has built up. The
great need is little common sense
and honesty il politics.
Iron County register., 1899-08-24

The most of us can remember back to
the time when our currency was ex-
clusively paper, deprecated below the
gold and silver level all the way from
1 to so per cent. But we paid our gold
debts far more easily than we can
now. Our mines continued to yield,
our products brought good prices in
gold in the European market, while an
abundant supply of 'greenbaeks" did
our internal business and filed the. en-
tire country with the hum OF well-paid
industry. So it would be again. II
free coinage restores and maintains
parity, that of course meets every OBJ
lection. If it should rise to premium
il would give US the same advantage as
the silver standard countries now en-
JOY in the European market, and our
foreign gold debts could be paid far
n0re easily than they can now.

The free rural mail delivery which
is now an admitted success in Clarke
county and wherever it has been tried,
and which, it may be expected, will be
taken up throughout the United States
with the ardor with which Americans
persue successes, will prove an advan.
tage in several ways. 1t is primarily a
step in the assimilation Of life in the
American town and country. 1t will
come IN with tue telephone and bring
the town and country nearer together
and foster their unity. A great benefit
Of the rural mail delivery will be the
breaking up Of the sense Of distance and
loneliness which has hitherto been the
burden of life on many farms, especially
to women. Comparatively few people
who live in town, or even on main
travelled roads, understand how depress
ing is life on farms which happen to be
miles from town and of the road. The!
distance of mile from the main
thoroughfare makes all the difference
Imaginable in the social life of the
family. Often and often women and
young children are left utterly alone
from early morning until the set Of sun.
Che man or men of the house are
absent in distant fields or have gone
to town or Oh the many errands which
farmers find Ito do, and the house.
keepers are all that the word implies.
Neighbors, in the town or city sense. are
unknown. Itis probable that in maj y
instances the spirits, health and pos
sibly even the reason Of women are
affected by this solitude. To these
hitherto lonesome households the post
man will be messenger of grace.
Once day at least he will come and
go. His story will be BRIEF but he will
bring word from the world beyond.
He will bring news not in the news
papers or in letters he carries. He
will open window that looks out upon
all creation. -Osceola Democrat.
