upon the unsubstantiai. :ransitory and
often imaginary thing called bank as
sets, is the Indifference of the business
community generally towards such a
dangerous proceeding.
The proposition to make gold alone
| legal tender and then displace govern
ment legal tender notes by bank issues
based in part upon bonds and in part
upon bank assets with no regulator OF
the amount to be issued but the greed
of ten thousand banks, Is a monstrous
proposition. and one that if enacted
into law cannot fail to produce panic
that will cause a change of ownership
of many billions of wealth and the ruin
of millions of worthy citizens.
A proposition so dangerous never
proceeded from the mouth of the most
wild-eyed anarchist of our time. It is
at variance with every principle of
sound finance and repulsive to the
moral sense. 1t is part and parcel of
the wild and vicious dreams of the mad
men who seem to have absolute con-
troll of the machinery of the kepubli-
can party.
1t must be borne in mind that civili-
zation, morals. and good government
are matters of slow growth, and that
it is much easier to slip down hill than
to ascend it; therefore all good men
should hesitate before giving encour-
agement to the extremists and danger
Gus classes, whose rule is now supreme
in the Hannaite party. Wildcat mon
ey, trusts, Imperialism, and militarism
are to be avoided If we would preserve
the republic. In the present emergen-
cy the thoughtful, conservative, and
patriotic men of the country will sup
port the Democratic party. National

Anarchists.

The power of greed to blunt the
moral sense, dethrone reason and lead
its victims captive, surpasses all un-
derstanding. That the unfortunate
members of society, who either on
account of natural defects, unfortunate
surroundings, or ill-luck are distanced
in the race of life, should take kindly
to visionary theories that buoy up in
them the hope of more equal condi-
tions is not difficult to understand. But
that those who have been able to win
the prizes in life's battle, those who
live in affluence, surrounded by con-
ditions that tend to make the heart
glad, such as is the case with the
bankers as class, should become
victims of unsound, wild and elusive
theories of finance and transformed
into anarchists of the most dangerous
sort is puzzling to the rational mind.
The Scriptures tell US that the love
of money is the root of all evil. This
is intended as warning that greed is
passion so strong that it asserts its
sway in defiance of the nobler instincts
of man. 1t is we'll known that the de-
sire to get som ething for nothing fur
nishes the stimulus for gambling and
speculation which are traits so general
that they may be said to be universal
in man. But with the successful man
whose conservatism has always given
stability to legitimate undertakings,
the morals of the gambler and the
recklessness of the adventurer have
never found favor. Therefore it is
that the anarchistic banking laws SO
insistently demanded by the bankers
are so inconsistent with their position
as men having a large stake in the
good order of society. The only ex-
planation of the course of the bankers
is to be found in their habits of
thought and action which have tended
to the inordinate development of the
passions of acquisitiveness and greed
which have correspondingly blunted
the moral sense and ensla-ed the in
tellect.
The most surprising thing in con-
nection with the efforts of the bankers
to substitute bank issues for govern
ment legal tender, basing their notes

pertant town is johannesburg. situated
in the mining center of the Witwaters-
rand gold fields, with a population OF
10000. The republic has an area of
119. 139 square miles. and is situated
| between the Vaal river on the south,
the Rimpopo on the north. the Portu-
guese coast possessions on the east and
the British Bechuanaland on the west.
The estimated white population in
1895 was 100000. The black popula-
ton, including the East Bechuanas and
other Kaffir tribes, the same year was
375, 900. In 1895 Swaziland, with an
area of $3.50 square miles, and a ma
tive population of 10000, was annexed
to the republic.
The district in the south and the
southeast are the great centers for the
South Africa gold mining, and so much
gold has been produced that South
Africa now ranks as the third largest
gold producer in the world. In 1890
there were in johannesburg $50 gold
concerns, with capital of more than
$50, ,0OO.0 900. The output of gold from
the different districts in 1894 was o.
200, 600 ounces. Lead, silver and iron
are also being mined, besides an ex-
cellent quality of coal. The bulk of
the population is engaged in agricul-
ture. The Transvaal is ruled by
president, elected for five years, with
a council of FIVE members. The pres
ent President is S. j. Paul Kruger,
who was elected for the third term in
1898. Delagoa Bay railroad was open
ed at Pretoria in July. 1895, making
the total mileage of railroad in the
republic over 500 miles. In the latter
part of 1895 difficulties arose between
the Beers and the foreign residents,
who demanded equal rights with the
burghers. DR.. Jameson, the admins
traitor of the British South Africa COM
pany, led an armed force into the
country, when President Kruger at
once called the burghers to arms. An
engagement took place July 2, 1896,
in which DIR. Jameson, after losing
about 500 of his men, surrendered. He
claimed to be acting under the direc.
tion of the British premier at Cape
Town. He was, nevertheless, brought
to trial in London with his associate
leaders, was convicted and sentenced
to eighteen months Imprisonment.
The Beers are a brave people and
have shed their blood to maintain
their rights in the South African col
ony. They are moral and law-abiding.
but not progressive. They resent the
intrusion of foreigners and persist in
keeping the government of the repub-
lie in their own hands,. C. Press.

You must keep this little item of
commercial and financial news In your
mind In following the bloody develop
ments of the British-Boer war. 1t is
not for the right. for the preservation
of principle. for the upholding OF any
good cause. that the Beers are to be
crushed. 1t is that .the most gigantic
gold industry in the world may soon
be incorporated in British colony"
Kafir stocks grow firmer the moment
1t is known that the killing of the Beers
is about to begin.
The pity of it, brothers-the pity
and the shame and the blood outlines
for COLDS sake! And not alone Is IL
England that is following this Satanic
course. 1t is the way OF the world
just now-we are about to adopt 1t in
the Philippines. to subiugate liberty

guilty than England, because freer
and unhampered by false traditions;

Repudlat1ng the Constitution.

In his speech at Minneapolis a few
days ago the President declared that
we should retain the Philippine ISL
auds. While in Chicago the other
day Mr.. Bryan was asked to state
what he thought of the Presidents
views in regard to those islands, and
he dictated for publication the follow
ing:
president Mckinley, in his speech
at Minneapolis, stated that he believed
the United States should permanently
retain the Philippine Islands, and in
the course of that speech he repudiat-
ed the source of government as de-
scribed in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Near the close of this part
of the address this sentence occurs:
Il feel assured that congress will pro-
vide for them (meaning the Philippine
Islands) a government that will bring
them blessings, which will promote
their material interests as we'll as ad-
vance their people in paths of civili-
zation and intelligence
"sIf we change the word Congress to
Parliament, and Philippines to Colo
nies, the reconstructed sentence would
exactly express the sentiments of King
George in revolutionary days, Again,
if we substitute the word Cortes for
Congress, and the word Cuba for Phil
ippines, that sentence would express
the sentiment of the Spanish monarch
when we interfered to put an end to
centuries of oppression and tyranny.
Every king, every emperor, every
despot confidently believes that he and
his government will provide for his
subjects government that will bring
the blessings, promote their material
interests ana advance them in the
paths of civilization and intelligence
''Most of the kings, emperors and
despots have asserted that they feel
Ah0OA Wv IdC OOI1SdS1Ou ~ 1OA
the blessings, etc., of their subjects.
The Declaration of Independence,
however, asserts that the people need
not depend upon the benevolence of
foreign king. emperor or despot, and
it might have added congress or the
president, for the blessings of good
government.
"Governments derive their just
power from the consent of the govern
ed and from no other source. The
Presidents speech marks an epoch in
history. 1t is the first ever made by
an American President that repudiates
the people as the source of govern
ment. Whether in this abandonment
of the Declaration of Independence, he
voices the sentiments Of the American
people remains to be seen. AS he
says, congress is the servant of the
people. Ii congress attempts to repeal
the Declaration of Independence, the
people will have chance to commend
or repudiate its action in 1900"

A Very Remarkable Speech.

On the occasion of the PRESIDENT g
visit to Minneapolis the usual courte-
sizes were extended to him by the mu-
nicipal and State authorities. Govern
or Lind and Mayor Gray were on the
| platform with him and both made
speeches. The Governor is a Silver
Republican, and was elected on fusion
ticket. He is of Swedish parentage,
and like all of his race earnestly de-
voted to the principles of liberty. He
has learned from his parents the evils
and dangers of militarism and Imperial
ism. and no man is more earnestly OPP
| posed to the unmitigated wickedness
OF these un-Alnerican importations
| than Governor Lind of Minnesota. In
connection with these facts, his speech,
delivered in the very presence of the
President of the United States and En-
peror of the Philippines, is the most
remarkable utterance yet made by a
prominent public man. In order to
fully appreciate the deep meaning and
sarcasm of the speech it must be kept
in mind that we no longer have a vol
unteer army. The volunteer is a mem
ory of the past. He is not a suitable
instrument for conquest and subjuga-
tion. Our army of 100, 900 men is now
composed entirely of REGULARS, hired
at so much per month to shoot whom
soever their officers may direct. Keep
ing these facts in view, you will have
no trouble in appreciating the pith of
Governor Lind's speech. He said:
by our growth and development
the mission of the American volunteer
has come to an end. For purposes of
conquest and subjugation he is unfit,
for he carries q conscience as we'll as O.
gun. The volunteer soldier has al
ways stood for self-government, liberty
and justice. With your generation he
will pass from the stage of our national
life. His fame and his example will
continue the heritage of our people
the theme of story and song. May the
spirit which has actuated him ever
guide our people and temper the
strength of the nation which has out
groa0n him with the eternal principles
for which he has fought and died"
We do not believe that this nation
has outgrown the spirit of its gallant
volunteers; and Governor Lind did not
mean that his words should be con-
strued literally. The speech was a
superb piece of singing irony. But
Mckinley accepted it as correctly ex-
pressing the sentiments of his party.
Its meaning is literal and dangerously
true In its application to the spirit and
intentions of the Imperialists. 1t has
no irony for them. They want an
army that carries a gun but has no
conscience; an army that will not hes
itate at conquest and subiugation.
And they have got it. The volunteer
has passed from the stage of our ma
tional life, and in his place stands the
paid regular. an instrument of con-
quest. of subjugation, and OF murder. |
Conquest for the Filipino first, then
subjugation for our own people. This
is prophecy now in course of fulfill |
ment.-Mississtppi Talley Democrat.

Important Decision.

Trusts have been dealt severe blow
in Illinois by the decision of the State
Supreme Court annulling the deed of a
Peoria glucose plant to the American
Glucose Company, which is another
name for the Sugar Trust, and which
was organized under the laws of New
Jersey.
The court makes plain in it's analy-
sis of the case that the Sugar Trust has
violated the antitrust law of Illinois in
several particulars, chief of which are
that it has sought to stifle combination
by buying out number of factories in
the State, stipulating in the agreement
that the prices of the product would be
regulated by the Sugar Trust and the
amount of output controlled by the
same agency. thus acting in direct
violation of the statute and of public
policy. In ruling specifically against
the demurrer of the defendant Trust,
which set up that it was New Jersey
corporation and not amenable to the
laws of Illinois regulating corporations,
the Illinois Supreme Court established
clearly the right of State to control
not only local corporations. but foreign
ones operating within its limits.
The decision is bound to have far
reaching effect and is calculated to
strengthen the hopes and hands of the
great body of consumers, middlemen
and independent manufacturers who
are interested in preventing these un-
lawful combines from utterly destroy
ing competition and fastening monopo-
ly upon all branches of business.-St.
Louis Republic.

The Great Presidential Campaign Of
1900.

The policies OF the great political
parties are now being formed and the
candidates discussed. The voice of
the people as recorded by ballot at the
approaching Presidential election will
probably decide the policy of the ma
tion for the next decade. Every citi-
zen must study the great questions that
are to come before the people. This
can only be done through the medium
OF a great newspaper. Now is the
time, therefore, for every voter to SUBJ
scribe for the best and most reliable
newspaper obtainable. The Semi
Weekly Republic covers the whole field
of political news. While it is Demo-
cratic. it publishes the news in regard
to all political parties without preju-
dice. It's telegraphic and cable news
service is superior to that Of any other
paper. It's special features are the
best. In fact, it is the paper for that
large class of readers who cannot af-
ford or do not have access to the daily
papers.
Attention Is also called to The Re-
public's Sunday Magazine. Its half
tone illustrations are alone worth the
subscription price. Ii is made up OF
special articles by the best literary
talent, embracing variety of subjects
of current interest. News features of
absorbing interest are illustrated and
enlarged upon. For the benefit of the
ladies the latest fashions are hand
somely illustrated. The Republic Sum
day Magazine Is always interesting to
every member of the family.
The subscription price of the Semi
Weekly Republic is $1.00 per year.
The Republic Sunday Magazine $1.25
per year. Both papers are now being
offered at the very low price OF $3.50
for one year. To secure this low rate
both must be ordered and paid for at
the same time.
