ARE MINISTERS ALWAYS RIGHT?


Pastors of most of our churches seem
to concede it to be the part of wisdom
to eschew politics. The reason to most
people is obvious. It is an old saying that
they who would be friends should avoid
discussion of religion or politics. Propri-
ETY. would seem to bar the discussion of
such questions before an audience of
mixed views and settled convictions.
America, it is true. is said to be land
Of freedom, freedom in its largest sense
free thought, free press and free speech,
but even freedom may be abused as when
sometimes COMPOUNDED with license The
greater the freedom among any people
the greater is the demand for intelligent
discretion No intelligent American
would abridge universal freedom as a
preventative against individual license.
No one would today nuzzle the preach
ers of this country because prior to 1860
nine -tenths OF the Southern ministers and
a large number at the North defended as
resting upon the divine sanction that
damnable institution, chattel slavery
But certain it is that if human slavery
ever rested upon the divine sanction
America has recorded one instance where
divinity failed
A sermon preached in one of our prom
inent Minneapolis churches last Sabbath
upon the question of national expansion
brings to us the thought that at no dis
tant date. in the far away Philippine
Islands where America is today will, her
armies and navies attempting to enslave
people who are fighting only for liberty,
liberty will finally triumph To us 4,
seems that the earnest supplications of the
Filipinos for home and native land can
not fail to find divine recognition to the
end that military despotism shall be ban
ished from the islands, the patriotic, brave
and freedom loving Filipinos be restored
to their heritage. the Christian ministers
of our own country who today are pray
ing for the success of the invaders shall
be turned down; military invasion, sub
jugation, armed conquest, devastation
and martial rule shall be branded as in
fanny and national crime.
Already Republican administration
and press are hedging by admitting that
American troops are being illegally de-
tanned in the Philippines
The time is near when the mask will
be torn from the so-called "divine mis-
sion of a superior people" only to reveal
in all its hidecusness the unl1oly purposes
of a band of hooters.
National expansion, expansion in in
dustry, commerce, art, science, literature,
general intelligence and all that makes
toward higher civilization is in no way
synonymous with national murder, inva-
sion OF foreign lands and wars of con-
quest If the former could be promoted
only at the expense of the latter then
America better abandon both.
Carthage lost her supremacy by cross
ing the sea to conquer Rome. Rome fell
in the midst of her career of conquests
France fell through the ambitious efforts

II MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHICH LEG.

Minnesota bankers are prosecuting a
man who manufactures for country mer-
chants metallic checks or due bills paya-
BILE in merchandise at the merchants
counters. Their ground of complaint is
that merchant might issue such checks
or due bills to an amount greater than
the value of his stock in trade. How
about the banks that issue certificates of
deposit to ten times the amount of cash
they have on hand? The people pay the
banks interest; no one pays interest on
the merchants checks. 1t seems to make
difference which leg. e. A. T.

Gold and Silver.

Sixteen ounces OF silver bullion,
prevented by law from being used as
money, is not worth more than half as
much as one ounce of gold, the use of
which as money is fixed and protected
by statute. When both metals were
equal before the law, and both freely
used as money, sixteen ounces OF sill.
yer were worth fully as much, or a
tribe more, than one ounce OF gold in
every market of the world.
These tests demonstrate that fully
one-half the value of silver bullion is
dependent upon its free use as money
In other words, the demand for silver
for use in the arts and for coinage into
token money, is not sufficient to main
tain its price at more than half what
it was WHEN the metal was freely
coined into standard dollars.
The money attribute, added by law
to gold, no doubt adds much more
than half to the value OF that metal,
because sixteen ounces Of silver is
more useful III the arts than one ounce
of gold
And the decentralization of silver
adds still more to the value Of gold by
making that metal the sole measure
of values and almost doubling its use.
The value taken from silver by its de
monetization is added to gold, and the
result produces many heartless dis
examinations. The change helps the
rich and Injuries the poor, ia yors CAPT
tai and damages labor, by reducing
the price of all the productions OF la
Dor, and also works cruel injustice
in favor of the creditor and against
the debtor. The Democratic party is
pledged to use all its energies to the
final and everlasting overthrow Of the
iniquities Of the gold standard, Of the
the trusts and Of the Republican par
ty-the father OF all these evils.

Income Tax.

John ID. Rockefeller may consider
himself lucky man that he resides in
the United States instead of IN Eng
land. II he lived on the right little,
tight little island he would have to
pay 100000 year income tax. Here
he doesn't have to pay cent. In Eng
land rich men and rich corporations
have to bear their share Of the public
burden. The British income tax pro-
duces over $50 100000 IA year, with not
more than two-thirds the national
wealth Of the United States to draw
upon. w. w. Astor pays the British
exchequer a tax on the rentals Of his
New York houses, because he now re.
sides IN England, although he pays
none to the government that takes
care of them. Should not this coun-
try take a hint. from not only England,
but Germany?
Germany has graduated system Of
income tax increasing by six grada-
tons. Beginning at IT per cent on
incomes OF $4,000 and over. AS the
New York Journal says "If Mr..
Rockefeller were German he would
pay an income tax of $4,000 year
in addition to his other taxes, and
those other taxes would be paid not
lodged
Who are the men who benefit most
from the government? Surely they
are those who have the greatest amount
OF property to be protected. And yet
these are the men who are allowed to
escape the payment of taxes to the
government OF this country.
If the rich were forced to pay thei,
share OF taxes by the government OF
the United States there would be NJ
burden to complain of. The people
realize tins, and the demand ior ar
income tax will soon become too earn
est to be longer denied.

A PATHETIC SIGHT.
A Coal Mine Mules Enjoying a Rare
Holiday!

Holiday!
New Lexington Tribune.
The superintendent OF the Sweet
Springs mine undertook thorough
renovation OF the mine the day after
the miners went out on a strike, and
the first step preparatory to cleaning
up was to remove the mules from the
underground stables and put them
out on pasture.
Some of them had not been out Of
the mine for months, a number had
been below the surface for two or
three years, and one had not seen the
sunshine for seven years--as long as
Jacob served for Rachel.
They were led from the mine, 81
patient creatures, and turned loose in
Morrison's pasture field. They stood
about, close together, knee deep 10
lush, green grass, and sweet red clover,
with dropping heads and eyes half
closed, as though dazed by their sud
den change Of circumstances. At
last, as the sun dropped down behind
Bowman's hill, one gray old veteran
threw up his head and shifted at the
fine fragrant air blowing down the
valley and in a moment little move
ment went through the whole group.
The old leader wheeled about
sharply, took long look at the clear
sky above, the brawling little brook
chattering over the stones, the grass
and the trees, then he drew up his
head, stifiened his tail, and sent forth
a prolonged, penetrating, strident
heehawawaw, which woke the echoes
over on Maple Ridge, and with an
awkward, numbering bound he started
down the long slope.
In an instant the whole mass had
separated and was in motion. Such
running, racing, kicking and jump
ing were never seen--stiff knees. dim
eyes and spawned joints all forgotten
in the pure enjoyment of out of doors
They prayed and beloved, ran and
k cked, stopped for breath, then be-
gan again.
The whole village gathered at the
fence to see the fun; the men and
boys laughed and shouted, the babies
crowed, and one or two women cried
little, for there were sores and lame
ness and weakness in plenty.
When night fell they were still roll
ing about and racing, forgetful of the
hunger and thirst that might be salts
ted by the running stream and grass
Old Mrs. Bascom, who lives at the
edge of the pasture field was awaken
ed in the dark hours toward morning
by the rapid rush of hoofs laundering
down the hillside, and turning over OF
her pillow she murmured, drowsily
