ANENT THE SUGAR TRUST.

Is Mr.. Steck really ignorant of the
facts or is he wilfully trying to deceive
the voters? In his Eddyville speech
he said:
"They (the people of Porto Rico)
got taxation without representation,
and your representative voted for it..
There was a reason for it..
1t is claimed there was voice, the
voice of the sugar trust, which was
more powerful with our administra-
ton, and our representatives, than the
voice of the people"
This is a contemplate insinuation,
and should be resented by every lover
of justice and fair play. Mr.. Steck
knows, if he knows anything about the
subject at all, that the interests of the
so-called sugar trust were directly op,
posed to the taxation to which he re-
fers. The sugar trust had many mil
lions of dollars worth of their product
in Porto Rico, which they were an.
xious to import into this country free
of all duty. They were anxious for a
free trade measure, and the democrats
tried to give it to them. But the re.
publicans said, mo, the Porto Rican
government needs money, and until a
system of local taxation can be ar
ranged for, this is the best and easiest
way to raise the necessary revenue.
We will impose tariff to the amount
of only Is per cent OF the regular tar.
if and the sugar trust shall pay its
share" And it did.

NOTHING UNCERTAIN ABOUT
THIS,

There is nothing uncertain about
the following language used by Major
Lacey in his splendid address in this
city Monday evening. Major Lacey
said:
Mr.. Steck has not stated his prin-
ciples but this does not change the
platform on which he is seeking cleo
ton. He will vote with his party if
elected, and will vote opposite to the
republican way of voting. If you are
in favor of free silver, vote for him,
for am not in favor of it. If you are
in favor of free trade, vote for him, for
l will not vote for that. If on the

Widespread Prosperity.

you have all read in the newspa-
pers and heard on the streets of Of
tumwa of the widespread prosperity
which the seventy-six million people
of the United States are enjoying. No
country in all Europe today has the
railroad facilities, the telegraph SER
vice, and the modern machinery which
we find all over the United States. Ours
is the leading nation of the world in
the eyes of other nations. Now this
is something wonderful to be accomp-
lished in the short space of time this
nation has been in existence. And to
what do you attribute the success of
of this nation? What was the condi-

years ago? There was not much pros
perity then. In 1896 this country was
overwhelmed with the free silver
craze. Free silver literature was
spread broadcast. The theory was dis
cussed on our street corners, in our
homes and everywhere. But at the
polls the people decided that l6 to 1
was not what they wanted.
