VERMONT DEMOCRACY.

There is ample encouragement
for the national democracy in the
election returns from Vermont, a
rock-ribbed republican state in
which the Presidents party has
been unable to hold it's own in a
campaign whore all the admins.
tration influence possible was
brought to bear for results that
should affect the situation IN other
states. Although the complete
returns are not yet published, the
fact is in unmistakable evidence
that the republican vote in Yer
mont has been notably decreased
from that of 1896. In the matter
of the democratic gain in the next
house of representatives. in the
Vermont state legislature it is
conceded even by partisan re-

WHO IMPERIALISM AIDS.

Imperialism would be profitable
to the army contractors; it would
be profitable to the ship owners,
who would carry live soldiers to
the Philippines and bring dead
soldiers back; it would be profit
able to those who would seize
upon the franchises, and it would
be profitable to the officials whose
salaries would be fixed here and
paid over there; BUT to the farmer,
to the laboring man and to the
vast majority of those engaged in
other occupations it would bring
expenditure without return and
risk without reward. Farmers
and laboring mon have, as rule,
small incomes and under systems
which place the tax upon con-
sumption pay more than their fair
share of the expenses of govern
ment. Thus the very people who
receive least benefit from imperial
ism will be injured most by the
military burdens which accompany
it. In addition to the evils which
he and the farmer share in COM
mon, the laboring man will be the
first to suffer if oriental subjects
seek work in the United States:
the first to suffer if American
capital leaves our shores to employ
oriental labor in the Philippines
to supply the trade of China and
Japan; the first to suffer from the
violence which the military spirit
arcuses and the first to suffer when
the methods of Imperialism are
applied to our own government

j. MORLEY WIZARD, the great
moulder of republican opinion
in Walsh county created sensa-
ton in the last issue of his
paper, the Park River Gazette, by
advertising for sale his property
the Gazette included. No reason
is assigned for the sudden move,
though probably the Gazette
editor can read the handwriting
on the wall and gives up all hopes
Of republican successes either on
the state or national ticket.
Were it otherwise he would ma
turally be anxious to remain and
share the spoils. None will more
sincerely regret the departure Of
the Gazette editor than his demo-
cratic contemporary at this end

KEEP TAB ON THEM.

In publishing list of eighteen
newspapers which it claimed had
supported Bryan in 1896 and were
now supporting Mckinley, when
in reality only three Of these had
made such change, the Chicago
Tribune adopts the tactics of
publishing the names of imaginary
voters Of Illinois who have aban-
doned Bryan for Mckinley.
These desperate tactics will not,
however, prevail to the end desired
by the frightened partisan organs
which resort to them. Too close
a watch is being kept in this cam
paign to make such tricks possible
of success. There may, of course,
be isolated instances Of deliberate
mis-statements being allowed to
gain public credence, but in the
main the campaign lies will be
exposed and, disapproved and the
campaign liars justly pilloried
There is necessity for warning
against a danger in the near
future IN this connection, however.
Just prior to the date Of election,
when it will be too late to run
down and refute campaign lies,
the campaign liar may safely be
counted on to make final squirt
''for the good of the party"
Watch for him then, people, and
don't be too ready to believe all
you read. Especially is it advis-
able to make note of the news
papers now manifesting their
willingness to misrepresent facts,
and to receive with large sprink-
ling of salt any statement they
may put out during the closing
days of the campaign.

The farmer does not participate
in the profits of any trust, but he
sorely feels the burden of them
all. He is dependent upon the
seasons for his income. When he
plants his crop he knows not
whether it will be blessed with
rain OF blighted with drought, he
knows not whether wind will blow
it down or hail destroy it, or in
sects devour it, and the price of
his crop is as uncertain as the
quantity. If a private monopoly
can suspend production and fix the
price of raw material as we'll as
the price Of the finished product
the farmer, powerless to protect
himself when he sells, is plumber
ed when he purchases. Can any
farmer hesitate to throw the in
fuence of his ballot upon the side
of those who desire to protect the
public at large from monopolies.

publican organs that the demo-

publican organs that the demo-
cratic representation will be some
where between sixty and seventy
five. This is marked increase
over the number elected in 1896,
some seventeen in all, and even
over 1898, when forty-two demo-
Gratis were elected to the house.
AS to the republican plurality in
Vermont, it is now claimed by the
democrats that it will this year be
below 10000, as against 1851 in
1896. Developments of this
nature are ominous for the i'm
perialist cause. They prove that
the true glory which would have
attached to our victorious war with
Spain, if we had dealt fairly with
Cuba, the Philippines and Porto
Rico following its close, is not
now extended to McKinley's
administration. The Presidents
surrender to the temptation of
empire created by that war has
alarmed the American people.
They would have fairly idolized
Mckinley had the President freed
Cuba in accordance with the
American declaration of war
against Spain, had he given to the
Filipinos sound assurance Of
national independence in accord
ance with the American Declar-
alton of Independence, had he
forbade the tariff taxation of the
Porto Ricans on the grounds that
it was forbidden by the American
Constitution. AS it is now, the
American people fear Mckinley
as the first American President to
abandon the creed of the republic
for the creed of empire. The
Vermont election looks like the
beginning of the end Of the dream
Of an American empire. If what
the republican imperialists have
done in Vermont is the best they
can do, they will lose every debat.
able state IN the Union. And it is
natural and just that they should
because they are exerting thei1
fullest strength to betray the
American government to empire
and to make certain the early
overthrow of the republic.

A NEW daily paper, the Mime
apolis Star, is being started this
week in the interests of Bryan and
democracy. Since the "fop'' of
the St. Paul Globe, at the time of
the Kansas City convention, the
democrats Of the Northwest have
sadly felt the want of party
paper. The Star is strictly a
peoples organ and at the low price
$l.00 per year, should have the un-
limited support of common people
in their struggle against the mon
opoly of capital and industry.

SHALL imperialism" be adopt
ed as the national policy? To-
day the democrats accuse the re-
publicans of aiming at imperial
ism. In a feeble sort of way the
Hanna machine denies that its
tendencies are imperial. But let
the county vote to continue Han
na-republicanism in Office and up
will go the cry that imperialism
has been formally Endorsed. In
1896 the democrats declared that
the republicans intended to put
the country on single gold
standard. That was denied by
the republicans, and Mr.. McKin-
ley expressed great anxiety that
other nations should come in on a
16 to basis. But the election
was decided against the democrats,
and what happened in the silver
matter? A bill was passed by
Hanna via Mckinley. This bill
permanently-or as permanently
as republicans could do tout
lawed the white metal. Disclaimer
to-day and frank confession to-
morrow. Such is the republican
scheme. Reflect Mckinley.
Imperialism will be pushed to its
extremes, the great standing army
ready for China or any Ameri-
can city with strike on hand
will be built up out of American
families. Then if your voters cry
out you will be laughed at. You
will be told:
"Why, the whole election turned on
imperialism. Bryan said it was the
paramount ISSUE. When Mckinley was
reelected Imperialism was Endorsed by
the American nation, and the will of the
nation must be obeyed.''
If you want to kill imperialism
you must kill it now, at this cleo.
ton. If you do not want a great
army ready to march hither and
yon at Hanna's command, you
must vote against that army this
fall. If you don't want to see the
power of trust money backed up
by great standing army control.
led by trusts, you would do well
to vote against the whole trust
brood this fall. If you vote TO,

plain when you get imperialism ir

A CLOSER VIEW.

What business has farmer
voting for party that protects
and fosters the trusts and a tariff?
A short but sound statement of
actual facts is found in the follow
ing extract from speech deliver
ed by the Hon. Chas. A. Towne:
"Taking the farm value of a bushel
of wheat as worth at an average
throughout the Northwest 10 cents
less than the Minneapolis cash
price, 10 bushels would buy at the
wholesale prices quoted by the
Commercial Bulletin, the official
trade journal of Minneapolis job
bors, the following goods on the
dates named:
Kerosene Oil, minnesota state test.)
Jan. 1, 1898, 101 gallons.
Jan. l, 1899, 70 gallons.
Jan. l, 1900, Sc gallons.

| Jan. l, 1899, 116 pounds.
Jan. l, 1900, 104 pounds.

Jan, l, 1898, 435 pounds.
Jan. l, 1899, 80 pounds.
Jan. l, 1900, 1873 pounds.
The above figures are based on
wholesale prices of oil, salt, sugar
lumber, nails and barbed wire al
Minneapolis. Freight, handling
and retailers profits would prob.
ably make cheese articles cost al
the farm about 20 per cent on the
average more, and the amount Of
each of these articles which II
bushels Of wheat would buy would
be correspondingly less. Ter
bushels of wheat, like any othe,
product, are worth what they will
buy. The prosperity of the farm
is not measured by the volume O
its product, nor even by the mar
ket value Of the product, but b,
the net purchasing power of tn
commodities produced"

SECRETARY GAGE, the million
aire bank president, who fills the
Office of Secretary of the Treasury,
has just startled the world with a
sample of his financial wisdom.
In a recent interview he stated
that our money base could be
changed from gold to silver by
merely using the money we now
have without any additional legis-
lation and with no authority to
coin silver except that which now
exists by virtue of republican
legislation. If the secretary be-
lieves what he says, why does he
continue to coin three million sill
yer dollars per month, when the
law only requires that million
and half be coined? If what the
secretary says be true, why did g
republican congress authorize the
coinage of million and half six
teen to one dollars per month, and
why did President Mckinley sign
such q bill? The absurdity of the
sscretary's position is so colossal
that it can only DO equalled by his
eontempt for the intelligence of
anyone who would believe him.
