A. E. Stilwell On TOP,

When A. E. Stilwell undertook to
re.organize the K. O., P. & G. road
one of his main men, whom he
placed the most confidence in was
John W. Gates, whom he unfolde d
his plans. Gates soon learned that
he could fire out Stilwell and also
Martin and run the Pee Gee his own
way and the work he did got Still
we'll out, but the man of nerve soon
gathered himself together and was
elected on Saturday over Gates pro-
test as president of the Guardian
Trust Company. 1t is said also that
this means that Stilwill can get all
the money he wants to build the
Kansas City, Oriental and Mexican
railroad. We say hurrah for Still
well.

There is tendency on the part
OF the Bears to pull down prices on
all commodities, both of the field
and in the manufacturing marts,
and in few weeks we expect to
see the prices come down to where
a poor man can purchase the neces-
stiles of life without mortgaging
his soul and body. Ficticious val.
ues have been kept up for some
time now and millions of dollars
have been taken from the poor man
but the "leyeler" of all things "ov-
reproduction" has stepped in and
prices are going down, Lumber
has taken tumble as one thing
and when lumber goes down all
other things follow. Let us hope
for the benefit of the poorer classes
that all things will take a speedy
tumble that the man who earns his
bread by the sweat OF his brow will
have a chance in the battle of life.

The fire boys, and others at the

pressure furnished from the pump

they could not only knock a straw

know that the station can give us a
good pressure, we shall look to see
them have up steam and pump
water in the future at an of our
fires. Keep up the good work Mr..
Munson and be assured that we will
not ride you "bug hunting" just

| Told You So,

EDITOR GAZETTE: Ifyou remember
some months ago | wrote an article
which you was kind enough to pub
lish. In that article | stated that dur
ing the present Congress we would
pass an act that would give the ma
tional banking trust complete control
OF the paper currency so that they
could initiate or contract the volume
at will whenever it is to their interest
to do 30. This we have done and for
all time to come have put to rest your
"l6 to l" free coinage heresy.
Yes the law is really better than
many Of us republicans really antcl-
pated. A national bank can now be
chartered on q $25,000 bond and the
banker can receive back $4,000 bank
notes to loan to his neighbors thereby
realizing on $4,000 Is not this a law
the republicans should be proud OFF
Does not this prove the stltment |
made In my former article, that the
republican party is not an antitrust
partyY
This nation is to be run in the
interest OF trusts and combines and
l repeat my question: What are you
going to do about itp We have the
Senate at least secured for two years
to come. So you see there is no show
for any popocratic legislation for sew
eral years. to come, IL ever The
grand old party has again been true
to its pledge and is now reciprocatng
for the financial aid so kindly extended
to us by those trusts and combines
during our last presidential election
and will doubtless be repeated in the
comming election Of 1900, yet doubtless
many of our county and State conven'
tions will be foolish enough to pass
antitrust resolutions. While l do not
approve of sailing under false colors
we may by so doing be able to hold
some unthinkiDg voters to stand by the
