There is a law to punish the
man who brides a voter. There
is a law which sends to Jail a
poor, homeless outcast who ac-
cepts bride to register or vote
falsely. There should be a law
to reach the INSCRIPTIONS, pros
porous villain who uses his
money, his influence as an en-
ployer, to intimidate and coerce
voters. A man who says to
another, IF you vote for Bryan,

Address of the Democratic
State Central Committee.
st. Louis, Oct. 30. 1900


On the threshold of the great
which marks the cen.
tennial of Democracy in the
American Republic, the Demo
cratic State Central Cammittee
of Missouri sends greetings TO
the lovers of American liberty
and assurances of duty well
done on the part of the greatest
Democratic State in the Union.
1t is a matter Of congratula.
ton and pride,to every Missouri
Democrat that one hundred
years from the day of the
election of the first Democratic
President our Commonw wealth,
made part of the American
Republic through the wisdom
and craftsmanship of a Demo
cratic Executive. should today
be the greatest Democratic
State in the Union
There is inspiration for Demo
Gratis in the fact that the party
in it's centennial year presents
as it's candidate for President a
second Thomas Jefferson, a
plain, honest man of the people,
in whose hands the welfare of
the Republic will be sacredly
guarded.
In the contest which is to be
determined on the 9th of next
there is no doubt as to
where Missouri will stand.
The efforts of a vicious and
INSCRIPTIONS partisan press to
defame this State will receive
a crushing and fitting rebnke at
the hands of loyal Missourians.
The Republican party leaders
invited a comparison of party
records in Missouri. The
Democrats gladly welcome this
issue.
For six years the Republicans
were in absolute control of all
the departments of the Missouri
State Government. During
that time the public rec ords
disclose a reign of reckless ex-
travagance and unbridled COR
ruption unparalleled in any State
in the Union excepting only Car
pet-Bag rule in the South
during the dark days Of recon.
A bonded debt of more than
$50, 900, 900, for which the State
was amply secured, was fast
ened upon the people in order
that a few political favorites
might amass fortunes.
Not one dollar of the $22,.
300, 600 debt which the Demo
cracy found on regaining
in the State would have
existed had there been honesty
and business care exercised on
the part of those in control of
our State from 1864 to 1870.
Such was the extravaganza in
public expenditures that even
lac school moneys annually
contributed by the people were
used to defray the expenses of
the State Government.
The constitution required
that not less than one fourth of
the ordinary receipts into the
State Revenue Fund be set
apart for the public schools.
Not one dollar of this tax went
to the public schools during the
years 1865, 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869.
The securities of the public
fund, the stock of the
State Bauk of Missouri, were
sold at a loss to the schools of

More Truth Than Poetry
1t seems to me

1t seems to me
There's more Europe in our policy
than there ought tn be:
Too much willingness to shoot those
who oppose our rule;
Too much proneness to learn in mon
archy's bloody school
Too little sympathy for the Beers in
their death-grip;
Too great haste to fly the Union Jack
over the Alaska strip:
Too many trust privileges at the sac
rifce Of popular right;
Too much caste and too little OF the
common people in sight.
1t seems to me
II these grand men came back who sc
blood set us free,
They'd straighten these 1hings out
and make us hold
With iirIner faith the creed they
taught Of old:
We are false to Freedom-they would
keep us true:
We're Empi' e-mad-they'd weld the
Republic anew:
We're Torytempted-they the faint
would see,
AND make us good Americans again

Taxes were double what they
are today, and such was the
favoritism shown that the rail-
roads did not pay one dollar
of taxes into to the State
Treasury during Republican
control.
In gratifying contrast to this
rule of disorder and dishonesty,
we invite inspection of the
practical business methods, the
economy and the integrity
which have characterized the
management of our State affairs
since Governor Sila S Woodson's
administration in 1875.
Our State bonded debt Las
been reduced to less than 500.
000,0 600; the rate of interest
reduce from six to three and
one.half percent, and our State
bonds raised from 4 heavy
discount to a handsome prem
ium.
This has not been done by an
increase in taxation, but on the
contrary State taxes have been
reduced fifty per cent.
The public School and Semi
nary Funds, which by wise bus
mess management have been
increased to nearly four and
one-half million dollars, are
held in trusts as a sacred OBJ
ligaton. The interest on these
funds. amounting annually to
$250,000, which formerly went
to the bondholders, is now paid
to the school districts of our
State and the State University.
In addition, one-third of all our
State revenue, amounting this
year to $500, 900, goes annually
to the support of our public
schools, making a total of more
than one million dollars which
our State now sets apart an
nually for pnblic education out
of the revenue produced by the
lowest tax rate levied by any
State in the Union.
Before the close of the next
administration our entire finan
cial obligation, excepting the
fund held in trust for the
schools, will have been wiped
out and the State tax. which is
now 25 cents on the one hundred !
dollars, can be still further re.
duced to rs cents.
This excellent business show
ing is forceful answer to the
slanderous partisan attacks |
which have been made in this
campaign upon our Common
wealth.
The fight so far as Missouri
is concerned has been made and
is won.
Our party has presented in
this State honest, capable,
upright candidates for public
favors. The public have a
right to feel, and do feel, that |
the interests of the State and |
interests of our people will be
sale under Democratic control. |
AS a fitting rebuke to the
campaign of sldnderous abuse
which has been waged by an
INSCRIPTIONS partisan press,
we ask that the majority for
our national, state, district and
local tickets be so overwhelm.

TWO BANKS ROBBED.
Silver Lake and EIletsviIIe, Ind, Wis.,
tied by Masked Men-AbOut
$4,000 Taken.

Peru, Ind, Jan. 20.-The Commercial
bank of the town of Silver Lake, about
25 miles northeast of this city, was
wrecked between one and two o'clock
Friday morning by masked men, who
blew up the vault and safe with nitro
glycerin. The craftsmen carried away
about $4,000 in paper money. They
were compelled to leave several sacks
of silver, owing to a battle begun by
citizens. These sacks contained Sis. 900.
Bloomington, Ind, Jan. 20.-The vii
lage of Elletsville was aroused from its
slumbers about two o'clock Friday
morning by loud explosion, which
seemed to shake the whole town. Up
on investigation it was discovered that
the village bank had been broken into
and the safe looted. The explosive used
by the robbers was so powerful that
every window pane in the building was
shattered and the roof actually lifted
off. Four doors of the safe were blown
to pieces. The robbers secured about
$1,000 and escaped on handcar, George
Fryhofer, the bank cashier, says papers
were taken of sufficient value to make
the aggregate loss $4,000.

HOLD THEIR OWN.
An Even Balance Is Maintained in
General Trade and Prices-The
Situation Reviewed,

New York, Jan. l0.-Bradstreet's says:
General trade and prices as whole main
tain the even balance which has been the
lea ding feature for some time past and
in which it will require the advent of dis
tinctly new features to affect any basic
change. General demand is large for this
season of the year, but speculation is quiet
to the extreme of dullness in some lines,
and especially in those branches of specu-
lation which go to radically affect finan-
cial affairs, and therefore the volume OF
bank clearingS. Close examination of lead
ing lines of industry fails to show marked
unfavorable features. 1t is true that re-
tail trade in seasonable goods has been
and is being affected by phenomenally
mild winter weather, but wherever spring
trade, particularly in dry goods, has been
developed, it has been in such volume and
accompanied with such readiness of &C.
ceptance of advanced prices as to point
to undiminished confidence on the part OF
the trade world as to the outlook fol
spring business.
1.-THE iron and steel industry, justly re.
garded as a trustworthy index of general
trade, is still actively employed on old
orders, and new business iS limited for re
sons unnecessary to recap1tulate. 1t is EVIL
uent that the few reactions in prices shown
in such an ordinarily dull period as this
have strengthened rather than lessened
confidence in the future. Signs of prep
aration for the coming seasons needs are
shown in the reported active inquiry for
steel rails at the west, recent sales at Chi
cago aggregating $4,000 tons, some of which
are for northwestern railroads and some
for export. Production is as evidently hard
pushed as ever. Cereals are dull in nearly
all directions, and the pressure of enlarged
stocks, particularly abroad. has been in
f1uential this week in bringing about re-
action in prices. Corn and oats, however,
are rather firmer on foreign buying,
though sympathetically affected by the
decline in the leading cereal. Lumber is
strong, particularly white pine grades,
partly because of smaller stocks and a
possibly smaller cut in the northwest as
result of lack of snow, and partly because
of a hopeful feeling as to the building
outlook the coming spring"
Failures for the week have been 24z
in the United States, against 249 last year,
and 40 in Canada. against 80 last year."
