ST. LOUIS AN OBJECT LESSON.
He knows ST. Louis, under the reck-
less extravaganza of the present ad-
ministration. costs her property owners
every year double the sum in taxes
that is expended by the State for all
purposes.
He knows he pays in Federal taxes
ten times over what he pays the State.
He knows that under the old Repub-
lican State Constitution the State Off
GERS received salaries and fees which
made them rich in single term.
He knows that Democratic Con-
stitution limited the compensation OF
State officers to reasonable salaries
and requires all fees and special taxes
to be paid into the State treasury, by
which the departments at the State
capital are made practically self-sus-
tanning.
He knows that, while the Constitu-
ton only requires $250,000 of the State
debt to be paid each year, the Demo
cratic administration in the last four
years paid over $4,000 of this debt
in excess of the constitutional require
ment.
He knows that Mr.. Dockery, during
his long service in Congress, was rec
ognized by both parties as the most
watchful man of the public treasury OF
any member in either house.
He knows that with Mr.. Dockery as
Governor the same prudent, watchful
care of State expenditures will charac-
terize his every official act.
He knows that before Mr.. Dockery's
term is half over, the bonded debt will
be wiped out and the State tax of 25
cents reduced to l5 cents.

The Rising Fortunes OF Mr.. Bryan.

The Bankers Magazine, New York
publication devoted to financial mat
ters. in its current September number
pays involuntary tribute to the growing
strength of Mr.. Bryan when it editori-
ally says: 1.-The friends of sound
money and the opponents of free coin
age of silver should regard with great
solicitude the rising fortunes of the
candidate of the democratic party"
It further warns the money power OF
the country s'that there is no inherent
force in the law (the law demonetiziDg
silver) to prevent the overturn of the
gold standard in case the majority OF
the people of the Uuited States place
in power an administration and con-
gress pledged to the reconciliation OF
silver by authorizing its recoinage."
The regret is not concealed in the
quoted extracts that 1t is in the power
of a ''msjority of the people" to alter
the law at their pleasure. Wall street
has discovered that the majority OF
the people, is not behind the silver
demonetization law lately enacted,
and that it is not SO huttressed by
combined capital that 1t can not be
overthrown by the people. The logic
of the argument is that E'majority OF
the people" should not be permitted to
undo the legislation dictated by capital.
It is this disposition on the part ol
corporate power and combined capital
to prevent an expression OF the will oi
the people that has alarmed the coun-
try. Wall street is alarmed lest itf
power to bleed the people through the
manipulation of its trusts be curtailed
or destroyed. The people are alarmed
lest their liberties be impaired and
popular government be overthrown.
The rapacity of the cormorants is made
manifest when this Wall street publ
cation insists that the country should
adhere to the financial policy which
has prevailed during the last foui
years, whether independence be
granted to the Filipinos or not" L
would even restore TO other people tbs
God-given right OF self-governmeni

tax is NOS dead issue with the tax
payers Of Rails.
Colonel Dalton's tax bill shows that
he paid last year $11.65 railroad taxes
double what he paid the State.
Aud yet Rails did not get a single
mile OF railroad in return for this in
famous debt. No wonder Colonel Dali
ton, in his work for his friend. Colonel
Flory, wants to keep this frightful
record of Republican misrule aud cor
ruption in Missouri in the background.
have no doubt he would gladly
have the squandering of the S3,000.-
900 of State securities by the Republi-
cans also a dead Issue. The people
are not yet through paying this debt
and as long as dollar of it remains it
will rise up to confront Colonel Dalton
and those who advocate turning this
State over to the party which forced it
upon the State.
Every citizen has a right to de-
nounce an unjust tax, levied to pay a
debt created by fraud, but no good
citizen will complain of his just por-
ton of any honest obligations. Be-
sides Colonel Dalton's farm, you all
know he held the best Federal office in
Missouri for four years, his salary ag-
gregating $4,000.
Under these circumstances, is it not
rather small affair for Cololonel
Dalton to parade himself over the
State, denouncing the party that was
his benefactor, because he has to bear
a burden of 1888 in State taxes?
ANOTHER STORY REFUTED.
But, says Colonel Dalton, the Dem
ocratic State Board OF Equalization
has Disseminated in favor of the rail-
roads.
Colonel Dalton knows this state
ment, like the other, is not true.
The records shows it to be absolute
ly untrue.
Instead of decrease in the assessed
value of railroad property since 1875,
as he charges, there has been a great
er percentage of increase than in farm
property, which has uniformly been
assessed at about one-third it's real
value.
The State Board of Equalization
| made its first assessment OF railroad
property under the present law in 1877,
when that splendid Democrat and great
Missourian, John S. Phelps, was Gov
ernor.
In that year the State had S,l90 miles
of road, assessed at $1,000 per mile
In 1898 the mileage had increased
to 6,592, the total assessment to $72,-
8S7 1884, or 81 ,057 per mile.
Thus the total increase in twenty
two years is $4S, ,76S, ,903, while the in
crease per mile is So, 497 or As per cent.
A comparison with the present year
shows an even greater increase In the
assessment Of railroad property.
This valuation includes all the
branch roads, the greater portion OF
which are poorly constructed and do
not pay operating expenses.
The principal lines, such as the Wa
bash, the Chicago and Alton, the Mis-
souri, Pacific, Iron Mountain. Frisco
and Burlington, Fort Scott and Mem
phis, are assessed at from $4,000 to
$1S, 900 per mile.
do not know whether this assess
ment is too low or too high, but / do
know that it is more than double the
amount at which the roads were as
sessed while the Republicans were in
control Of Missouri.

RAILWAY ASSESSMENTS.

know, further, and Colonel Dalton
can get the exact figures II he will
examine the Auditors reports in the
States named, that railroad property
in Missouri is assessed sc per cent.
higher than in the Republican State
o: Illinois; AZ per cent. higher than in
Kansas, and 81 per cent. higher than
in Iowa.
Does this look like the Democrats of
Missouri are discriminating in favor
of the railroads?
But Colonel Dalton's organ, the
Globe Democrat, says the Democratic
State Board has not assessed the street
railways of st. Louis high enough. /
do not know as TO this, but do know
the Republican Board of City Assessors,
which prior to 1897 assessed the street
railways, valued them at less than 81
900, 900, and that the State board in
creased this to nearly three times that
sum.
know, further, that while the Re-
publican Board of Assessors of the city
OF St. Louis valued the street railways
at scarcely more than 10 per cent. oi
their actual worth, this same city
board assessed the real estate at &c
| per cent, or seven times as much.
And yet Colonel Dalton proposes to
place the farmers of Missouri at the
mercy of Ziegenheinism.
He knows fnll well that St. Louis
dominates the Republican party in
Missouri, while the Democracy has
its great strength with the people out
in the State.
