A WnrmY Yarn.

The yarn about the $5O,OOO,0OO cam
paign fund with which Mark Hanna
bought the victory of 1S96is again filling
up the columns of the Democratic news
papers. The fact is that the friends Of
honest money and sound government
did respond pretty literally when the
hat was passed at that time and sue
ceeded in accommodating a fund aggre-
eating just $2,9OO,OOO. 1t took $1,000
600 to supply the literature for the
Campaign of education and the bal
ance went for speakers, halls, travel
ing expenses and the like. 1t was con-
sidered a big fund and it was well ex-
pended. The Democratic fairy story
about the $50,00O,OOO sounds particu-
larly humorous to anyone who was
ever on the inside Of the finances of a
national, State or local campaign.
There is a good deal of business about
politics. and the business instinct gets
into the campaign fund quicker than
anywhere else.-SiouX City Journal

A Bogy of the Past.


There was such violence of demand
for free silver coinage in 1896, backed
by such fervor of oratorical effort to
show that the way to industrial recu-
peration was only along the line Of par
tial reputation, that thousands of hon
est men Of all parties were swept from
their sound money moorings. But since
1896 times have changed. The country
has prospered, and deluge of gold has
swept into the markets of the world.
Mems minds have also changed. There
has been a popular reaction on the
money question similar to that which
followed the Democratic excursion into
the delusive field Of greenbackery in
1868. Whilst Democratic leaders, with
pardOnable human weakness, still talk
Of sticking to the Chicago platform,
there is no longer any serious defense
of "16 to l." nor any serious intent to
make the silver issue the paramount
question to be determined in 1900.
Even the majority of the members of
the Democratic National Committee
are no longer rampant. They pass sill
yer by on the other side, and turn their
faces toward real issues. They know
that the Democratic party is drifting
back to the support of the Jeffersonian
doctrine Of the inviolate preservation
of the public faith. Despite the efforts
Of enthusiasts and theorists and Of
leaders who conceive THEN political
fortunes to be bound up in keeping the
silver issue alive, there is no answer
ing response of the popular pulse. Free
coinage has been as effectually side
tracked as the demand for unlimited
issues Of legal tender paper money. 1t
is a bogy of the observation-disclosures

Tn Sore straits for an Issue.

When he was in Congress Mr.. Bryan
was a great advocate of free trade,
but had no fault to find with the
money system. When he was a can
didate for the Presidency he dared not
attempt to defend or advocate free
trade in the face Of the terrible bungle
Democracy had made in tariff legisla-
ton from which the country was then
suffering Instead, it was the money
system that was all wrong. The peO-
pie decided that question, as they de-
cided the tariff question, against the
Democracy. And now. if he shall be
the Democratic candidate next year,
Mr. Bryan must perforce abandon his
pet theories of 1896 and whoop it up
on dust the trusts" cry. Democracy
is in sore straits for an issue. 1t al
ways has been.-Mansfeld, Ohio, News.

Have1neyer on the Trusts.

Henry o. Havemeyer, of the sugar
trust, is giving some triumph to indis-
Greet Democratic editors. He is repre-
scented to have said that the true COM
munism of Delf is the customs tariff
bill" He has declared that 1.-THE tariff
is the mother of the trusts All the
trusts, he contends. are creatures of
tariff legislation. The Democrats who
intimate that Havemeyer talks as an
expert on this trust business are cor
rect, though in sense different from
what they realize. The sugar trust
was allowed by the Democrats to draw
up the sugar schedule of the Mills bill
the bill which defeated the Demo
racy in 1883. The trust framed the
sugar provisions of the Wilson German
act of 1S94-the ''perfidy and dis
honor tariff, to use Cleveland's desig
nation for it, the tariff act which
Cleveland refused to sign, allowing it
to become a law by the expiration of
the time limit Mills, Wilson, German
and the rest of the Democratic leaders
gave the sugar trust good many
favors, which the trust. it was under
stood, reciprocated by subscribing
handsomely to the Democratic cam
paign fund in 1888, 1892 and 1896.
Hagemeyer ought to feel kindly to-
ward the Democratic party. I'm
doubtedly he does feel that way. He
would be glad to give the Democracy
a lift at this time but he is mistaken
in supposing that his sort of talk will
injure the. Republican party. The Re-
publican tariff is not the mother or the
father of the trusts The Republican
tariff creates home competition, and
thus makes trusts difficult. Trusts
are as numerous in England as they
are in the United States. and England
is supposed to be q free trade country.
Trusts are sure to arise under all sorts
Of fiscal system, though the Democ-
racy, in the instances mentioned, went,
it is true, a little out of their way to
give favors to the sugar trust. Have
mayer is Democrat, and for very
good reasons. He voted for Cleveland
in 1888 and 1892 and for Bryan in 1885,
because of the aid which Cleveland's
and Bryan's party gave him in allow
ing him to fix up the sugar schedule of
kEo tariff bills to suit himself. In call

MUD BATTERIES FOR M'kINLEx.

Being convinced that President Nc
Kinley is to be renominated by the Re
publican party, the thick and thin Or
CANS of Democracy seem to have con-
WINGED themselves that the exigencies
of the Democratic situation demand
that the President be abused. All along
the line the mud batteries are being
opened up.
The st. Paul Globe recently signal
lied its entrance upon this kind OF
warfare by making an unusually viru-
lent attack upon the Chief Executive.
It characterizes the President as the
mere complaisant tool of number OF
professional politicians. 1t says that
no one has thought of him in any other
character for year past. 1t declares
that no one in national politics has re-
garded him during that period as hay
ing any personal force whatever.
Newspapers that talk in this fashion
do but proclaim their own desperation.
William Mckinley is to-day the most
popular man in the United States. He
is to-day more popular than any other
President since Lincoln. The common
people, as Lincoln termed the masses,
trust him implicitly.
Republican newspapers will be but
wasting their time in any attempt to
answer these systematic denunclatlons
Of the chief executive. Their own viru-
lence robs them of all force. They will
prove boomerangs, every one of them.
mo force in the President say these
detrac tors. mo initiative in the White
House." Have these worthless forgot
ten how the President maintained him
self against the united forces of mug
wumpery and Democracy, aided by
traitorous and disgruntled Republicans,
when they were trying to force this
country to recognize the paper republic
of Cuba in order that certain bonds
might be vitalized, and the American
army and navy put under the direction
Of the Cuban junta? If so, their mem
cries are exceedingly short. Simply
because Mr.. Mckinley has been man
of quiet methods, he has often been
called weak, even by his friends. But
there has never been any ground for
the charge. He has always stood by
his convictions. When his tariff bill
and all the principles Of protection
seemed to be repudiated by the people,
he stood courageously by his standard.
He did not so much as think of apol-
ogy. He simply waited for the turn of
the tide, conscious that they who at
tack the right but wound themselves.
While it will be disagreeable to have
the Democratic press assailing the
President without sense or reason, Re
publicans can afford to be very COM
placent about it, They cannot harm
Mr.. Mckinley, and their tactics will be
a benefit to the Republican party from
the standpoint of practical politics.

narrative. Here is his latestss fST' =
During the winter of 1S634'64 my
brigade was in winter quarters near
Nashville, Tenn, / was at that time
acting as hospital steward and made
my headquarters in a log cabin. We
had for chaplain Kentucky gentle
man-never mind his name-who could
preach a ringing sermon and who fair
ly worshiped a good horse. This rever-
end gentleman had long been casting
an envious eye on beautiful cream
colored gelding ON a neighbOring farm,
which he could not become the owner
of for love or money. So at last he sug7
gested to a veterinary surgeon connect
ed with the command his desire for the
horse and did the veterinary think he
could secure the animal in any way
for consideration? The horse doctor
thought he could and did. He just
went and stole the horse. Next morn,
ing the chaplain came over to my log
cabin and asked if | could mix up
hair dye. l looked up a formula, mix
ed up a feed bucketful of stuff contain
ing plenty of nitrate of silver and nj
trate of silver was dern scarce in those
days, and the horse was then led be-
hind my cabin. A soldier was put to
work on the animal with a sponge, and
in a minute one side Of the cream color
ed steed was a beautiful bay, He then
veered to the other side and after Wig
orously stirring up the mixture with
stick commenced his work. But by
the time he had finished and used up
all the dye and the last nitrate of silver
in camp he saw his mistake. He had
stirred UP the sediment in the bottom
of the bucket, made the dye mucn
stronger, so the nigh side Of the horse
was a deep black, the off side a bright
bay We had to run that horse out of
camp. A circus clown would have
k4ade his fortune with him, but he
wasn't fit for a chaplain. Cincinnati
