What Of the Hourp

Being asked very often as to
our opinion Of the political out
look in Iowa this year, and we
have said, and now repeat it, that
Iowa is as reliably republican as
Vermont, and any man who has
the most distant idea that the.
democracy can carry it may just
as we'll relinqulsh the idea. Iowa,
up to 1854, was democratic, but
that year, james w Grimes, a willy
and sharp politician, defeated
Mr. Bates, of Dies Moines, and
from that day we have had sue.
cession OF republican governors.
It is true we elected Horace Boies,
but his election was more victory
of the people than merely a poll
teal victory.
We remember away back in the
sixties when we democrats used
to meet in the city ofDes Moines
in convention pass string of res.
olutions foot long, return home
and swear by the holy Moses
that we would carry Iowa, but
when election came the usual 49,
600 majority was counted against
US. We tried the temperance
measure, but the republicans
blocked that by the native wine
and beer" active tried the military
character, and nominated Colonel
Benton as conservative, but he
was defeated-then we gave
Gen futile, who was in the army
winning lnurels of glory for Iowa
and the Union, the nomination,
but they swore he was a rebel and
defeated him; and when we tried
the "judicious license measure .
they passed the mulct law and
free drug stores. and 80 it goes
Our people favored "free silver
but supported gold standard aud
candidates -oppose high taxes but
vote for the protective tariff-op.
pose trusts and combinations, but
vote for the party Of trusts; in
fact Iowa is republican unde,
all circumstances, no difference
what the platform, or WHO the
candidates are, and those who
have the idea that any material
change for the better will occur
this year may just as we'll make
up their mind that the electoral
vote of Iowa is as certain for Nc
Kinley as it was at the last cleo
ton, aud while we have strong
faith in the success of the demo.
crat ticket, we do not count on
the thirteen votes of Iowa. We
may elect a few congressman and
county officers. but Iowa is re.
publican, and il old Nick WAS the
republican candidate. and the
democratic party would nominate
McKinley be would be defeated
We hope this will he satisfaction,
and leave no doubt az to where
We stand in this year Of our Lord

Chicago with Charley and more fully
realized than ever that we need Ion

American metropolis. We left Chicago
by way of the Grand Trunk railway,
through Michigan and Canada, to the
Falls; from thence over the Lehigh
Valley route. This is nice, cool sum-
mer route to reach New York OF

much more picturesque than over the

Sugar Trust Extortion.

sugar IruSC EXgOTClOn.
by another increase in the price Of
sugar-the eighth since the finarestab.
lissment of the complete monopoly two
months ago-the trust EFFORTS an addt
tional S9O,0OO,OOO year from the peo-
pie.
The monopoly profit of this great
combine is now estimated at $2OO,O0O.-
600 year; that is what the trust makes
or rather gets, over and above the le-
gitlmate profit on the actual capita In
vested. And why, asks the Indanopo.
lis Seminal, is the sugar trust able 70
extort this tribute from the peopleY
Simply because the tariff gives it alb
solute control of the market, and this
will redily be seen from the simple
statement of the relative rates on SUI
gar as imposed by the Democratic law
of 1894 and the Republican law of 1897.
The rate per cent are as follows:
1894. 1897.
Beet sugar. 1903 6s2a
country, 1900 746l
Cane sugar, APP C5.B5
Canesugar from boun-
Stv country. 48l9 7lO2
Glucose or grape sugar, 1900 64.9l
Il will be remembered that the FIRST
effect of the DINGHY law was an adj
vance in the price Of sugars that gave
the trusts an enormous profit on the
great stock on hand, and since that
time it has exacted its tribute from the
people, increasing its demands as the
exigences of the seasons permitted.
1t was the sugar trust that forced
Mckinley TO turn sumersault upon
the Porto Rican tariff. It did this by
simply threatning to withhold its CAM
paign contributions. The present rise
in the price of sugar simply proves that
the sugar trust, true to its promice to
Mckinley, is today collecting its cam.
paign contributions. Such are the
simple methods of the trusts, that ev-
eryone who uses sugar is helping to-
ward contribution to buy votes to
continue the existence of the sugar
trust
