A Curious Bit of History.
From the Rocky Mountain News.


From the Rocky Mountain News.
Republican newspapers have made
the claim that imperialism, meaning
the power of congress to control ter
ritories outside of the constitution,
has been republican doctrine since
the organization of the party.
In support of that contention a
paragraph from the republican plat
form of 1855 is quoted as follows:
That the constitution confers upon
congress sovereign power over the
territories of the United States for
their government, and that in the
exercise of this power it is the right
and duty Of congress to prohibit in
the territories those twin relics of
neutrality-suspicious. and slavery.
But the trainers of that republican
platform in 1856 had no notion of
suggesting that congress could leRis-
late for the territories outside of the
constitution, or that the territories
were subject region over which the
constitution did not extend.
The very next section of the plat
form of 1856, following the section
quoted, reads as follows:
That while the constitution of the
United States was ordained and es-
tablished by the people in order to
form more perfect union, establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense and
secure the blessings of liberty; and
contains ample provisions for the
protection of life, liberty and proper
ty of every citizen. the dearest CON
STITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE
PEOPLE OF KANSAS have been
fraudulentIy and violently taken
from them.
Thus it is seen that in the original
platform of the republican party it
was declared explicitly that the peo-
pie of the TERRITORY OF KAN
SAS HAD BEEN DEPRIVED BY
FRAUD AND VIOLENCE OF
THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS. The party then insisted
that the constitution spread its pro-
tecting shield over the people of the
territory of Kansas as much as over
the people of New York or Massachu-
sets. No language could be clearer
than that quoted above, nor could
the trainers of the platform express
themselves more exactly if they were
drafting a democratic platform con-
demning the present republican pol
icy. The republican party has exc
cuted a complete somersault, and
now urges precisely the doctrine
which the founders of the party con-
demned.
In his speech to the republican
national convention Mr.. Wolcott said:
In the territory of the United
States not included in state bound
aries congress alone determines the
extent to which the constitution ex-
tends.
Mr.. Wolcott's speech, it will be re-
called, was passed upon and ap-
proved by President Mckinley and
the party leaders before it was de-
Iivered. It Is an extraordinary in
stance of the distance from it's orig
inal principles to which the republi-
can party has drlfted.

TO THE PUBLIC

Six years ago the Deering Roller and Bali
Bearing Binders and Mowers were placed on
the market. At that time the progressiveness
of the Company was jeered at by competitors,
and failure predicted. Today the only
competitor the Deering has, has adopted, as
near patents will permit, the principle of
roller and ball bearing. Bnt the Deering of
today and that of six years ago are very diff
ferent and the old reliable, the DEERING,
is still six years in advance of all others. See
them at local headquarters.
