Fooling the Farmer.

Information from an official source
has been received at Democratic ma
tlonal headquarters In Chicago that
the postoilice department ut Washing
ton, under orders from Mark Hanna,
Is making arrangements to make n
thirty days trial of rural postal deliv-
cry In all doubtful localities in Iowa,
Illinois, Michigan and Indlann-in fact,
In all doubtful states. They hope in
doing this to make farmers believe the
Republican party Is doing much for
them. This scheme Is TO be instituted
In all doubtful localities early in Oc-
tober, while 1t is to be withdrawn In
strong Republican localities.
That such Is Hanna's latest gold
brick scheme Is borne out by Wash.
ington report saying that the free de.
livery system was inaugurated last
week In three or four close counties
in Maryland, and that 1t is to be cx.
tended to other states.
AS soon ns the election is held the

and the farmers VIII continue to go to

WHAT 1T COSTS TO WAGE
WAR In THE PHILIPPINES

The Republican national literary bu-
reau is circulating. as refutation of
the charge that Imperialism and mill
tarism go together. n campaign speech
delivered with exquisite taste by eX-
Senator Manderson in his official ca
pacity as graduation day speaker at
West Point.
General Manderson has compiled n
series of tables designed to show that
the military burden is insignificant in
the United States compared with that
borne by the subjects of the armed
monarchies of Europe. These tables,
we are informed, have been prepared
with great care" with the idea of
having them accurate beyond posi-
bility of dispute We are also in
formed that in so far as they refer
to foreign countries. the figures have
been brought down to the very latest
date possible
We have a first table showing the
number of men in the army of each
country ana Its proportion TO popula-

country. the ratio of soldiers to the
square mile. and of square miles to

Wolcott's Dream Dispel1ed.

The roScate visions which have come'
to Republicans of the possibility of
their carrying Colorado have been
rudely dispelled.
For some time Republican managers
have been indulging in pipe dream
talks of the likelihood of their carry
ing the state. Senator Wolcott and
his henchmen have, however, based
the possibility of success upon the fail
ure of the anti-Republican forces to
bring about fusion.
The possibility has now been elimi-
mated by the completion of fusioni
ticket which will have the harmonious
support of all anti-Itepublican forces,
and Wolcott's chance to remain in
public life is gone.-Atlanta Constitu-

A Policy of Negation.

The Republican campaign has be-
come a negative proposition. The can
didates and leaders have become sto-
lid agnostics. The rank and file is
hiding behind breastworks of shifting
sand.
Mr.. Hanna says: 'There are no
trusts
Mr.. Mckinley says: There is no
such thing as Imperialism"
Mr.. Roosevelt says: Il am not afraid
of militarism, because there isn't any
'militarism.'
Mr.. Gage says: "rhere isn't any gold
standard, therefore the gold standard
must not be attacked"

Liable to Cause a Smile.

Addressing the American Bankers
association, in annual convention at
Richmond, Mr.. Roberts, the treasurer
of the United States, felicitated his
hearers on the fact that "for two years
our financial problems have related to
the surplus. General prosperity has
given large revenues" In view of the
fact that $2OOOOO,O00 Of bonds were
sold to meet the expenses OF the war
with Spain and that two years after
the close of that brief struggle the war
taxes are still in full force, Mr..

Wolcott's Baca Land Steal.

Senator Wolcott's record on the free
range question is one that will haunt
him through this campaign. The ranch
men and cattlemen of northwestern
Colorado are not going to vote for any
man for the Legislature who will assist
by his vote in returning Wolcott to the
Senate. His attempt to smuggle
through a bill for the sale of all the
public lands of Baca county will not
be forgotten. 1t was characteristic of
Wolcott, and an unblushing attempt to
rob the ranchmen and settlers of that
section of the state, to the gain and
benefit of the syndicates he represents.
If the people of Colorado sanction this
action with their votes next November,
the next thing may be bill for the
private sale of all the public lands of
Routt county for the benefit of some of
the great cattle or sheep syndicates.-

Election Of Senator's by the People.

First-Popular election would make
the senator more truly representative
of the people for whom he speaks. The
Democratic Idea OF government Is that
the representative reflects the scnti-
ments of the sovereign people. Sec
ond, II there was no other reason for
the change, sufficient reason would
be found In the scandals growing out of
senatorial elections. The charge of dl-
rect bribery Is made with increasing
frequency, and indirect forms of brib-
cry are even more common.-w. j..

An Unnecessary Tax.

In an official communication TO
August 2, 1900, the Hon. Lyman j.
Gage. secretary of the treasury, says;
"The estimated cost of the war with
Spain, including the Philippines, to
June 80, 1900 is as follows:
Army, $2Si, 100000; navy. S79,500,.
600; miscellaneous, including interest
on war loan and payment of $4,000.
600 to Spain, S30,T500o0; total S395,.
100000.
"Thc department is unable to sepa.
rate the expenditures made for war
purposes in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines"
The total amount collected from the
people under the special war revenue
act, mp to July /. 1900, is S210. 900, 600
The amount of gold In the treasury
Is now somewhat In excess of S43O..
100000. This is the largest sum OF gold
ever accumulated In the United States
treasury and exceeds the total ex.
penses of the war by $4,000. 900, and
this Is In gold alone, exclusive OF hun.
drcds of millions of silver and paper
money which has also accumulated In
the treasury.
Thus 1t is readily seen that the reg

THAT FULL DINNER PAIL
A Very Unpopular Issue at
the Deering Harvester Works.

The Full Dinner PAIL is the most
unpopular issue of this campaign in
the neighborhood of the Deering Har-
vester works.
The great corporation has just fin
iShed paying off its thousands of work
men for the first two weeks under a
new schedule. and the employees have
discovered that their wages have been
cut, in few cases less than two per
cent. and in many instances as much
as fifty per cent. Not many men, how
ever, have quit work. Many of them
had been laid off during the summer
OF these, about 1.50O have been taken
back, and others are being put to work
at the rate of fifty or sixty day.
Whether new hands or old, they come
at the lower scale of piece work. Prac-
tically every department has been af-
fected by the new scale.
Men who had been drawing So day,
which was as high as any reported,
said that under the new regime they
could not earn 50. The 50 day men
said that they We're hard taxed to earn

fact that they We're skilled workmen
