POST THE DELEGATES
Democratic ORGANIZATIONS Sho1la
Thoroughly Prepare Rep
. resentatives.

Since 1896, events have so shaped
themselves to the detriment of the ma
ton ard the American people, that no
man can scan the principles laid down
in the Chicago platform without being
convinced that 1T is the true democratic
doctrine in every detail, and that to
change a single line of it would be a
qualification.
1t has been charged against the dem
ocratic party that it is too steadfast in
its principles and that it is not party
of progress. The plain answer TO that
is that it never has and never will pro-
gress in such fashion that the auton-
omy of the nation must be destroyed
to permit the aggrandizement of a
special class and the ruin of the people.
1t desires no such progress as that con-
templated by the republican party; a
progress towards imperialism and the
destruction of the individual citizen;
a progress towards the establishment
of a separate sovereignty lorded over
by the president of the United States;
progress which puts in the hands
of a favored class the money of the
people; a progress towards industrial
slavery and the apotheosis of plutoc-
racy. Its progress is based upon the
progress and welfare as well as happi-
ness and content of the whole people,
which is the only American progress.

.BRYAN's PROTEST.
Scored by the Champion OF
Democracy.

y ilism j. Bryan is leader of
thought. and he was the first great
thinker Of this country to protest
against imperialism and to point out
its dangers to this republic.
1t required i great deal of. courage
for public man to oppose the trend
CT war enthusiasm when it was at its
height. but armed with the courage
OF his convictions, Bryan spoke boldly
and now the people are with him.
Recently, in discussing the imperial
istic policy of the republican admin
istration. Mr.. Bryan said:
I'm all my speeches I devoted con-
siderable time,to the subject of imperi-
si;sm. and I found that the argu-
ments against a colonial policy were
well received.
II am convinced that effort to en-
graft such a policy upon our form of
government will ALLEVIATE more repub-
licans than have left the republican
party in any previous campaign. As
the purpose of republican leaders to
forcibly annex the Philippine islands
becomes more apparent, the defenders
Of that policy become more and more
bold in their reputation of funda-
mental principles, and as the doctrine
Of force is more boldly avowed the dis
affection among the republicans in
creases.

the speeches of Abraham Lincoln in
the next campaign it will find that
the gulf between Lincolnism and Han
naism is so great that the admirers of
the former cannot be followers of the
latter.
IF the republicans assert that an
imperial policy will pay. they will be
compelled to put pecuniary value
upon the lives that viii be sacrificed
in the purchase of the supposed adj
vantages. If they assert that the ma
ton is following Divine guidance in
the prosecution Of a war of conquest
they will be compelled to show the
credentials of the man through whom
The Divine will has been revealed.
IF they assert that circumstances
make it necessary to remain in the
Philippine islands, they will be met
with the reply that Il republican adj
ministration has created the circum-
stances which are relied upon to jus
tify the retention of the islands,
Thus clearly and cogently does the
splendid logic of the democratic cham
pion meet and overthrow the argu
ments OF the opposition.
Thus are the people enlightened and
thus is a brilliant light thrown on the
dark counsels of the republican i'm
perialists.
This kind of argument is unanswer-
able and the Mckinley forces in the
east are beginning to erumble before
the sustained attacks of William J.
Bran
Imperialism can never appeal to 4
majority of the liberty-loying voters
Of this country. On this issue alone
the democrats can meet and defeat
their opponents, and when there are
joined to it the argument against
trusts and the aggressions of the
money power victory at the polls next
autumn will be practically assured

A MINNESOTA FARMER
WRITES OF WESTERN CANADA
Is Now Located There, Farms In His
Neighborhood Being Taken by
Enrmer 10. 8 Renidenfs


The following extracts from letter
written to Mr.. "enj. Davis, Canadian
Government Agent at St. Paul, Mimi,
give an excellent idea of what is said
of Western Canada by those who have
gone there during the past two or three
years
when we first arrived here and took
up our homes on the prairie near Dales-
boro, ASA, for short time we had a
fit of the blues but now all hands
are settled to business, hale, hearty
and contented, enjoying the finest win
ter we have ever seen. We have got
very comfortably situated, with con-
siderable preparation for a crop, and
all hopeful. / think this is very fine
country, and if the past seasons crop
is not an exception, which they claim
not, believe this is going to be the
Wheat Field of the West. 1t Is fill
ing up fast. In this township last
spring there were 25 manifestations of
land vacant and to-day there is not one;
can stand at my house and count 10
houses where there was not one last
spring, with six more to go up this
spring. This is only a sample of what
is going on all round. We intend to
build a church next summer, right
close to my place, so we viii be strict
ly in line. 1t would have amused you
to have been here last spring. There
were crowds of land-seekers, and some
times in the spring the prairie is not
very inviting, and of course lots were
disconnected. There was one in the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
a letter in the paper, only for which he
never would have come here, and he
was very hostile, but eventually he got
a place, and to-day claims he would not
take Thousand Dollars and move out,
so am glad he is satisfied.
''Well, my dear Sir, as Arthur Finney
is about to move out in March, with
his family, and also one of my sons, any
thingyou can do for them to assist them
along and to make things smooth as
possible, will be greatly appreciated by
me. I will close for this time, and will
write from time to time to let you know
we are living. Drop US a few lines to
let US know how things are moving in
ST Paul Yours Respectfully.

In the first 20 years of the present
century only 100000 Europeans came
to this country, but between 1920 and
1882 more than 100000 migrated to
the Americas. In the last named
year alone the United States received
100000 immigrants. Since 1882 the
European outPouring to various parts
OF the world has been over ~, OO0, 900
souls. Trustworthy data indicate
that during the century Europe has
been drained of 3O,OOO,0O0 persons
seeking to better their fortunes in
other lands.

democratic party, it behooves all demo-
cratic organizations to see to it that
every delegate to the national conven-
ton is an unwavering democrat, dem
Ocrat who was not found wanting in
1896, and who will now pledge himself
to the Chicago platform and such other
issues as may be forced upon the con-
vention by the trend of events towards
policy dangerous to the freedom of
the citizen and ruinous to the nation.
The mass of democratic voters are I'M
swerving in their faith to the principles
set forth in the Chicago platform, and
no man must be permitted to trouble
that faith. It is the voice of nearly
1000, 900 of people, and to betray them
is to be recreant to the greatest trust
ever reposed in men.
Beware then and do not let any man
deceive you by any sort of specious ar
gument, or by any charge of bossism,
but let every delegate be instructed
upon the principles of the party and
instructed right.

Morton county's Good Record.

Morton county, in the extreme
southwest corner of Kansas, 60 miles
from a railroad, the smallest in area
and most sparsely settled, last week
paid into the state treasury it's full
quota of taxes. This is nothing short
of remarkable, especially when all the
circumstances are considered. The
first half of the years tax has only re-
Gently been paid into the county
treasury; yet, the county's full share
of tax for the whole year was paid.
The tax from the people which is
not totally collected until June has
been advanced by the county, showing
that the financial affairs of the
county must be in remarkably good
condition. Many of the larger and
more important counties of the state
are delinquent in state taxes, and
have been so for several years.

they only stimulate the current sus-

Must Pay Up In Full.

Under an opinion written by Attor-
fey General GODDARD the various count
ties of the state must pay the amount
of state tax apportioned to them re-
CARELESS of whether they collect it
from taxpayers or not. The county
authorities claimed that, in the col
lection of the state tax, they act
merely as the agents of the, state and
cannot be expected 20 turn in money
which they do not collect. As re-
suit the counties are behind in the
payment of their back taxes Several
of them are demanding that their ac-
counts be credited with the amounts
which they have not been able to col
lect. The state auditor referred the
matter to the attorney general, who
decided as above recorded.
