That publican party is entirely

But il Is not every day that leading

In a speech delivered at Toledo. O.,
Hazen 5. Pingree, governor Of Mchi-
gan. said
IL have no hesitation in saying that
the leadership of the republican party
is now within the control OF the bond
holders. This does not mean that the
republican party is the party OF the mo-
nopolists, by any means. II simply
means that the course Of the party IS
dictated too much by commercial
greed. by men like your Ohio boss. who
rules from Cleveland. welding a scep-
ter which does not belong to the re-
publican party. II is foreign to its his
tory and TO its principles.
TRUSTS, corporations and money
must not rule our party. IL was created
as party OF the entire people. 1T was
such in Lincolns time. But it is slip
ping away from its original principles.
lis leadership is largely in the hands of
corporate wealth.
Il do not condemn corporations and
rich men. but would keep them with
in their proper spheres. The republican
party is not their property to use as
they see fit. Money-getting is not the
sole aim in life. 1t should not he the
principal object. 1t is not safe to in

trusts and monopolies are permitted

strength Of your condemnation Of these
things the sooner they will come to a
realization of their seriousness.
Nobody intends TO confscaie prop
erty There need be no waving of RED
flags and bonhres Of stocks and bonds.
There is no likelihood Of bowling mobs

RIOTOUS EXTRAVAGANCE.
The Unsnvory Record Made by the
High-Handed Fifty-Finh
Congress.

In calling attention 10 he unprece-
dented extravaganza of the Fifty-fifth
congress MIR. Dockery lay : stress upon
the fact that the unusual demand made
upon n country's revenues 10 carry on
a foreign war ought TO have imprc ssed
upon the majority party the necessity
of exercising the most rigid economyin
making appropriations for all other
purposes lie thinks that his careful
ness in expending the public money
should have been all the more consid-
cred because of the cheerfulnesS shown
hy the people in accedng without a
murmur TO the additional burdens i'm
posed on account OF the war.
This patriotic willingness of the peo-
pie has not produced a restraining and
consideratc influence upon the repub-
leans in congress. II seems to have
prcduce6an opposite effect They have
INDUCED in an orgy Of spending which
will not only drain the treasury Of its
resources. but bring on a deficit Of
alarming proportions. This deficit. Mr.
Dockery estimates. will reach nearly
Sico.o00,O00 by the first of the coming
month and aggregate at least Sl50.oo0,-
COO by the Goth of next juno.
When the Fifty-first congress. Of
odorous memory, spent over n billion
dollars for the expenses Of running the
government. the people promptly re-
pudiated the republican party at the
ensuing election on account Of this in
cxcusable and criminal waste Of public
revenues. Prudence ought to have de-
tered the republicans from repeating
the practices which led 10 their former
overthrow.
II IS not in the nature of things that
the people should fail to be aroused by
these riotous appropriations 10 the ne
cessity of sending representatives to the

jority.--St. Louis Republic.
