heels of the shipments already report

the gold import point. and the contin-

offer acquiescence IN the threatened

freely for some time past and which the
current rise in prices forces that mar

DESERVING NKINLEY.
Boilers OF 1895 Are Correcting Mis-
takes Which Have Come Home
to Them.

In the campaign of 1896 many demo-
Gratis, stubborn in their personal con-
victions, bolted the Chicago platform
and aided TO elect William Mckinley
president.
mat this was mistake these con-
sclentious but ill-advised men are now
ready to admit.
Among those who helped the rspub-
lican party to its success was former
Gov. Chamberlain, a soldier of the union
and somewhat of an independent in
politics.
In letter given to the public, former
Gov. Chamberlain saws:
The real live issues so far as can now
be seen, are imperialism and trusts. On
both these issues the republican party
is hopelessly wrong. Under McKinley's 8
lead we see our government embarked
on current which is carrying us stead
lily away from all our characteristic,
historical and traditional mornings"
After discussing the nature of trusts
and showing their evils, he says:
But IN any case, whether trusts are
or are not a mere economic growth, the
evils and dangers that come with them
are obvious. In either case and under
either view the republican party is their
natural and actual ally. It's sordio
spirit, its sordid leadership, it's sordid
methods, all that gives it present pow
er and vitality, make it the party of
trusts. Not one ray of hope, only the
thick darkness of despair, lies in that
direction
Coming from a man of political ex.
perlence who voted for Mckinley, these
expressions have especial weight.
But, after showing the venality of the
republican party, the former governor
turns his attention to the question
whether the democratic party is more
dangerous than the republican. Apro-
pos of this, he says:
To me the answer is easy. The dem
ocratic party is the party which can
alone be looked to for any real opposi-
ton to imperialism or to trusts; and by
opposition to trusts 1 mean their pre-
ventlon, If need be, or in any case their
proper regulation. Mr.. Bryan 1 consid-
er better than his party. No one ques.
tions his personal character; no one
would think of ranking him below Me.
Kinley in ability, and should rank him
many degrees above. His political in
tegrity, his fidelity to the principles he
avows, think is as well assured as that
of any politician now in sight. I deem
it, therefore, fortunate that Mr.. Bryan
is to-day the undisputed leader of his
party"
Thus it is that the mistakes made by
well-meaning men in 1896 are being cor.
rected in 1900. The republicans have
failed to give the country good govern.
ment, they have proved menace to the
rights and liberties of the people and
they will be retired from public posi-
tions by the results of the fall elections
Chicago Democrat.

Deception.

Although the republican party did in
1896 declare for bimetallism and did
lead many people to believe that it did
not favor the single gold standard, yet
in three years time its representatives
in congress have committed the party
absolutely to that doctrine. 1t did not
dare as a party to disclose its real po-
sition until it was in complete control
of both houses. 1t viii take the same
course in regard to trusts. In its plat
form it will try to convey the impress
sion that it is in favor of regulating
and controlling these institutions, but
should it again control the president
and congress the trusts VIII be de-
clared beneficent institutions and viii
be given full license to rob the people

have naught but praise to offer those
who in England are opposed to the war
that is being waged against the Beers.

MORTGAGES UPON MORTGAGES
What Mckinley Prosperity Is Do
ing for the Farmers of
IONA.

The farmers of Iowa are pointed to
with pride by the republican man
ayers as fair exponents of Mckinley
prosperity. But the records tell a
tale of woe that overshadows even the
exaggerated talk of prosperity.
The Free Press of Mount Pleasant,
Ia, publishes from the records of
two years how the farmers of Henry
county are steadily increasing their in
debtedness. The Free Press does this
to correct the false statements of pros
perity. It says:
"While certain class in our coun-
try have rapidly accumulated wealth,
and the list of the millionaires of the
country has increased within the last
two years, this record shows a steady
increase of the Indebtedness secured
on Henry county farms. Here is the
record:
At the end of the last year the
balance against the county was. 1874, ,494 So

"Thisis the real estate mortgage rec

A REMARKABLE SITUATION.
Facts in Regard to the Pet Bank
FinancieriRg of the Secretary
Of the Treasury.

A beautiful system of fnanciering
used by Secretary of the Treasury Gage
in dealing with pet banks" is wildly
illustrated in the story of the sale of
the old custom house in New York city
to the National City bank.
The custom house was sold to the
bank for the sum of $3,2G5, 600. The
bank credited the United States on it's
books with the sum Of Sc, ,215, 900, leaving
$4,000 still due, stipulating that so
long as the balance remained unpaid
and the government remained in pos
scssion-at an annual rental of $780,
Goethe bank should not be held liable
Gage assented to this arrangement. No
deed has yet passed.
Now the tax commissioners of New
York city have assessed the custom
house at $2,000,G00 and called upon the
bank for the taxes. The latter replied
that the property still belongs to the
United States, and is therefore exempt
from taxation.
The following, then, comprises the re-
markable situation:
The bank has credited the govern
ment with $3,215,O00. but it actually re-
tains the money and has the use of il
free Of charge.
The government is paying the bank
an annual rental of $13O,6OO, or, rather,
Mr.. Gage has agreed to pay that
amount.
The bank, while charging rent for
the custom house, objects to paying the
taxes, on the ground that the custom
house is still the property of the
United States.
The bank evades the tax, amounting
to $4,000 year.
The bank charges an annual rental
of $130, 600 for the use of property
which, it tells the tax commissioners,
still belongs to the United States.
The bank has paid the government
$3,215,OOO, which the government kind.
~ allows it to keep and loan out to its
customers at the usual interest rates.
The government pays the bank rent
money on a piece of property which
the latter maintains still belongs to tba
government.
OF such is the kingdom of republican
pet bank financiering. And the dear
people pay the freight.-Los Angeles
Herald.
