IGNORING ISSUES.

So far it has been impossible to get
the republicans to talk about the real
issues of this campaign. They avoid
the trusts, they ignore Imperialism
they say nothing about the Declara-
ton of Independence and the founda-
ton principles of the government ex-
cept to derde and condemn them They
no longer quote Lincoln. Phillips and
Garrison. Their one God is money and
Hanna is their prophet. All their talk
is of the temporary prosperity that
now exists-a prosperity as uncertain
as it is temporary-a prosperity one
tenth of which goes to labor and nine
tenths to capital. They talk of big
crops and bursting granaries, as If the
gracious gifts of the soft sunshine and
the gentle rain came from Mckinley
instead of God. They talk of dollars
instead of principles-they expect to
obscure the eyes Of the voters with the
glitter of promised gold. When we
say freedom they say money. When
we ask for the liberty of the captive
and that the oppressed may go free
they pray. o Lord, give us another
dollar. If Patrick Henry had been
Mckinley republican he would have
said, Give me dollars or give me
death, and Daniel Webster would
have closed his immortal speech thus:
Mckinley and money-now and for
ever-one and inseparable. Prosper
ity is not the only good thing in heav-
en- or earth, although the republican
leaders seem to think so. Jesus and
his apostles were not financially pros
porous, except in the case of Judas.
but they founded an empire that will
outlast the stars. Washington's rag
gcd regiments were not prosperous, but
their fame will be as enduring as
eternity.

ABLE FINANCIAL WRITER.

THE able financial writer of the
New York Sun, Matthew Marshall, has
an article in a late issue of that pa
per, showing the effect that the free
and unlimited coinage of the silver
dollar would have upon values. He
points out that the government bonds
alone which would be payable in sill
yer amount to s700 200, 900: the bonds
of railroad companies to $4,000 900 900;
the bonds secured by mortgages on
real estate to $4,000, 600 900; the notes
held by banks to $1,000, 900, ,000-be-
sides book debts and things of that
kind to an unknown extent. Above
all, the $500 100000 of deposits in
savings banks due to 100000 depos-
itors would be reduced more than one
half, sweeping away the savings of
years and causing immeasurable pri-
vatlon and suffering"
Mr.. Marshall and other able fnan-
cial writer's have been telling us for
the last four years that silver was
dead and buried. Why then this at
tempted resurrection? Why scare the
people over a dead issue? Why not
talk about Imperialism. miltarism and
trusts? We agree with the able f.
nancial writer" that silver is still
alive, but the people have declared
that 1t is not the dominant issue in
this campaign. The people make the
issues instead of leaving the work to
the politicians.
Mr. Mckinley has shown that there
is no danger in the silver question
He has actually coined sixty millions
of silver dollars at the rate of 1G to /
and there isn't single fifty cent dol
lar in the whole pile. and If he com.
plies with the law of Republican con
sress that sixty millions will be in
creased to ninety millions before the
expiration of his term of office.

RAILWAY MEN FOR BRYAN,

Railroad employees throughout the
western and middle western states are
are preparing for the presidential
campaign. Profiting by their expert
ence during the campaign of coercion
and subsidized labor bureaus in 1896,
the railway men are organizing secret
ly and they propose conducting their
campaign secretly.
The General Managers Association OF
Chicago-the same organization that
handled the great Pullman strike of
1S94-handled the campaign for the
Hannaites in 1896, and their railroad
men long ago came to recognize it's
power
The following circular has been sent
to every railway man in this section
of the country from the headquarters
of the Railway Employees Democratic
league. The league officers and the
headquarters remain secret Follow
ing is the circular:
To the Railway Employees of the
United States. Greeting:
This circular is addressed to you for
the purpose of calling your attention
threshold of the great political cam
paign of 1900
In the strike OF 1894 it was clearly
demonstrated to the entire satisfac-
tion of all thinking men that the
plutocratic grasp upon the various
functions of government must be
loosened and with this end in view
strong and determined effort was made
prior to the campaign of 1896 to re-
cover the Democratic party from the
power and influence of corporate dom
ination. The effort was successful.
and in that memorable campaign the
most terrific struggle for supremacy
ever witnessed was carried on.
The plutocr2tic horde of mercenaries
and minions was marshaled and ar
rayed under the banner of the pros
trated Republican party. and n policy
which for cruelty, intimidation and
fraud is unparalleled in all history
was inaugurated. Many thousand of
railway employees were corraled and
carted to Canton to hear Mckinley
promise prosperity.

"MorHER OF TRUSTS

Mother of Trusts Is a new book
ject OF railroads and their relation to
the man with the plow."
The book handles the railroad ques-
tion in all it's varied phases. 1t shows
its start from small beginnings and
its steady growth in power until 1t
has become the mightiest and most
dangerous of all trusts. 1t tells the
exact cost of all the railroads-how
much money it took to build them
their present worth and their inflated
valuation. 1t shows the~price of grad
Ing, bridging, ironing-the cost OF
sidetracks and depot buildings-it
counts the ties and rails in every rail-
road in the United States-it proves
conclusively that the roads of this
country cost only trifle over five bill
lion dollars, and a large part of that
cost was donated in land. money and
special privileges-it also proves that
all the roads can be replaced at a cost
of four billions and that they are cap
italized at twelve billions-the surface
of the earth is one-third land and two
thirds water and the American rail-
roads are built on the same plan, and
more water is added when more profit
is desired. 1t tells about operating eX
penses-overissue of bonds and stocks
-taxation-how they are operated In
the interest of trusts and monopolies,
and speaks of government and state
control and ownership.
The book is non-partsan and it is
in itself a liberal education to every
voter on the railroad question. No
editor or orator who attempts to dis
cuss this great question ought to be
without this book. and every farmer
and laboring man ought to study it
as he does his bible and party plat
form.
The style of the author is pleasant
and engaging and his language so
plain and simple that the common
reader can understand every word he
says
His remedy for present evils is not
In government, but in state owner
ship, and he gives many good reasons
for the faith that is in him.

Bad Morals in Trade.

Chicago consumers complain that
the grocers use colored paper bags,
three times as heavy as the manila
variety, and that these paper bags are
weighed in" as groceries at the ex-
pense of the customers. A month or
more ago the Chicago Federation Of
Labor made protest against this
weighing in Of the paper bags and for
time it stopped, but the custom
seems to have been revived, says the
Chicago Daily News. A similar COM
plant, it will be remembered. was
made about Sir Thomas Lipton's teas
some months ago, purchasers claiming
that the paper package was also
weighed in" as pure Oolong, Ceylon
or whatever other brand of tea the
said packages might contain. Experts
even figured out quite comfortable
income to the credit of Sir Thomas
from this source alone. The grocers
should be straight and honest about
it, continues the News in an editorial.
If they cannot afford to furnish the
bags free let them supply them to GUS
toners at cost and when the latter call
for a pound of tea or sugar give them
what they call for and not pound of
paper and sugar or paper and coffee.
The item may seem small to the gro
GER, but the principle is there. and
should be observed. Morally. it is just
as much theft as to take a penny as
pound-a distinction, however, that
many people seem to overlook.

ROME, April f2.-The Naples cores
pondent of The Tribuna telegraphs an
interview he has had with Mr.. Fischer,
one Of the Boer peace commissioners.
Mr. Fischer said he was convinced
that Sir Alfred Miner, when appointed
governor OF Cape Colony and British
high commissioner in South Africa.
went to Cape Town with fixed inten-
ton, with a mission, to bring about the
war, and this was proved by the fact
that Miner had Systematically opposed
the Transvaal's generous efforts and
concessions to avoid war, as though he
had received precise instructions to fol-
low this line.of policy.
"While the Transvaal was making
concessions, " said Mr.. Fischer, "Great
Britain was gathering troops along the
frontier. y
The Boer envoy accuses Sir Afr
Miner Of classifying dispatches. In
fact, according TO the commissioners, ac-
cusations against Sir Alfred Miner con-
stitute one of the principal features in
the peace negotiations which the COM
