Senator Beveridge should challenge
Mark Hanna to a joint debate. Hanna
says there are no trusts, while Bev-

On the high authority of the Chicago
Tribune, chief organ of prosperity and
McKinley's most devoted defender, it is
stated that Mr.. Bryan has the support
of "every one that is in distress and
every one that is in debt and every one
that is discontented." This naturally
leaves Major Mckinley with only the
support of the trusts.

PROSPERITY,

They say prosperity is with us. Is
it? Yes, homeopathic dose.
First, what brought it?
Initiation Of the currency, largely,
which the republicans in 1896 told us
would be dishonest and wicked beyond
description.
Big crops at home; famine abroad.
For how many of these causes does
the Mckinley administration deserve
credit?
SECOND, who gets the benefit Of this
prosperity? How is it divided up?
The Chicago Tribune for May End last
gave figures to show that Mr.. Rocke.4
feller's share would be about $75 900 600
Tor this year in addition to the millions

fuls of money from the top of the EiRel
tower to the people in the street as you
would throw corn to the chickens?
What do the republicans think your
share ought to be?
First, if you don't offend your mas.
ters, the glorious privilege of working
like an OK six days in the week.
Second, the luxury of eating a cold
dinner out of a tin pail; and, like the
horse with his nose bag, or the negro
slave before the war, eating enough to
keep up your strength that you may
continue to produce wealth for your
masters.
How mNch do the republicans prom
Use you for keeping them in power,
maintaining the luxury of the rich and
enabling the trusts to get possession of
the earth? Just what you are getting
now; not cent more, not privilege
more, not the glimmer of chance to
enter upon largely into our "prosper-
lty' and to enjoy more fully the oppor-
tunities and blessings of American civ.
ilizatlon.
What do the democrats think of this?
They think you are robbed; they think
the trust magnates get rich out Of
wealth you have produced and ought to
have. and they propose, if elected, to
do their best to stop the stealing.
Workingmen, are you satisfied with
your share of the Mckinley prosperity?
If SO, vote for the Hanna syndicate; if
not, vote for Bryan.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST.
aFoT 800 years and more the pre-
cepts, example and spirit of Christ have
been abroad enlightening and uplifting
the world. And when at last the Gear
Of all the Russias issued the call which
resulted in the Peace Conference at The
Hague, men began TO congratulate
themselves that the world WIS indeed
becoming civilized, that the day for ar
bltration was at hand, and that soon
war should be no more.
"But the delegates to that conference
had hardly reached their homes before
the skies of the civilized world began to
be overcast and darkened and the
sounds of battle to be heard IN MANY
quarters.
"And is it not significant fact that
the nations most active in the waging of
those conflicts have been members of
the Anglo-Saxon race?
General Sherman said that sWar is
hell. And it can find justification only
when waged in behalf Of some worthy
principle-in the defence Of the life and
liberty either Of self or of others.
FOR AND AGAINST FREEDOM.
The American Revolution and orr
Civil War were justified on these
grounds, but what shall be the verdict
OF history as regards the struggle which
is blotting out two republics from the
map of South Africa and in their place
establishing the dependencies of mon.
archy? In the future, wherever man
shall be and the love of liberty shall
exist, there will the breath come faster
and the pulse beat quicker at the story
OF the heroic struggles of Dom Paul and
the Beers.
"But the war of England against the
Tlansvaal is not the only one that has
been waged by the Anglo-Saxon race.
The forces of the United States have
been marshaled against the hosts of
Spain. When the armies of the Union
turned their faces toward Cuba they
were lured on by no vision of gold fields
and by no lust for power. Instead they
saw the starved and wasted forms of the
helpless reconcentrados and heard the
feeble cry for help that issued from the
dying lips of that unfortunate people.
As a nation we had lifted our hand
against a tyranny which had survived
the Middle Ages and which for wears
had been graphing at the throat of a
dependent people to throttle in them
the desire for liberty and human rights.
And as our soldiers marched forth to
battle, singing the songs of liberty,
tthey were the wonder and the admira-
Ition Of the world:
HBut the scenes Of the struggle have
changed. We are no longer waging war
against Spain and in behalf of the un-
fortunate victims of her despotic power.
We are instead battling against the VIC
tins themselves, who tora century or
more have waged with varying success
their uneven struggle for freedom and
Justice. And as we Garry death and
ldesolation into those distant islands

The republican campaign has become
a negative proposition. The candidates
and leaders have become stolid agnos-
tics The rank and file is hiding behind
breastworks of shifting sand.
Mr. Hanna says: There are no
trusts
Mr.. Mckinley says: 'srhere is no such
thing as Imperialism"
Mr.. Roosevelt says; 81 am not afraid
of militarism, because there isn't any

One of the most remarkable sermons

issues dealt with were "Wari in General

st. Mark, iv.,4, "And there were some

AN lNFAMY CRYING OUT.
''There is in the world to-day an in
fanny which is and ought to demand the
attention of all men, and :thatis war. IS
In Ancient times human life was ac-
counted as little worth. Mans acci-
dental birth in some royal, or favored
family alone made him worthy of re-
spect and honor. A royal prince might
wage war simply to safe the appetite of
some inhuman tyrant for gold or glory.
The slaughter of 10000 men from the
ranks was unmourned. Their death
was regretted only as it weakened the
defences or curbed the ambition of some
king.
At such time the lowly carpenter
of Nazareth was born into the world to
teach men Of the worth and grandeur
and nobility that inheres In human ma
ture. He came heraldlng the fact of
human brotherhood, and by His exam
pie clothed with dignity and honor the
form OF him who tolls. lie gave to man
the golden rule for the guidance of his
conduct and the principle of love for the
foundation on which to build his
character. He came to hasten the

No such state Of utter abandonment of
all moral considerations has ever been
presented to view in American political
life since the days of the Southern Re-
publican returning boards. If what this
man says be true, the Republican poi
clans Of Kentucky regard murder as an
ordinary political expedient, and have been
ready to supplement- the ballot box with

Of the vast Importance of the grain traffic,
and especially the wheat trade. Possess
the country, it has developed its immense
milling industry until it stands the chief
milling center of the world, It's receipts
of wheat in 1898 were 77,159,9SO bushels,
while Duluth and Superior received g.

Before 1860 the output of the AIinn apo
lis flour mills was about GO,00O barrels; in
1870 1t was $4,000 barrels; in 1873 it was
5S5. 900 barrels annually, and in 1876 it was
over 100000 barrels. BY 1879 it was over
1,5OO0 900 barrels, and in 1888 it was j, 2S2 595
barrels.
1t is worthy of note that for the last
twenty-five years the price of a barrel of
flour at the city Of export has averaged
five and a quarter times the price of

the moral of it all is that proximity to
