THE CENTURY'S LEGACY.

The past thirty years have brought
enough to the thresholds of our homes
throughout the land to show clearly
and distinctly whittier We are drifting
as nation, what will be the destiny
OF this boosted republic, should the
shylocks succeed in the coming great
battle.
The issue that is now confronting
the American people is, LIBERTY
or SLAVERY, and are they to stand
silent when the veal of the Union is
in jeopardy, when the very life of
our great republic is in peril and cries
for release from the industrial slave
chains are going up all over this
broad land wherein the utmost hap
piness and prosperity should prevail?
The plutocrats with which this
country is sadly infested will go
farther and draw the people more
firmly within their mighty clutches,
II there is not something done at
once to stop the growing power of
this vampire aggregation that is sap
ping the life blood out of the honest
consumers and producers of this
country. The wealth OF the nation
is being concentrated into the hands
OF fewer people every day and the
suffering masses are defenseless
under the present Ubiquitous mantle
of high tariffs and gold monometal-
lism. ~. ai
This century has brought three
great wars and some lesser ones. and
at its close we find ourselves wapinp
war on defenseless people fight
ing for their liberty in the far of
Philippines. The last half of the
century brought US 80, zoe million
aires who own over half of the wealth
of the nation, which has divided our
people and threatened the very life
OF the republic purchased by the
blood of our forefathers, defended
by our fathers and consecrated by
the prayers of our mothers. And,
too, the century has created 200, 900
paupers and made the heart of the
land of the Pilgrim Fathers sick and
sad. The closing years of ther cen
fury have brought the days of brib-
cry, the buying of courts, juries and
lawmakers and given Us govern
ment by injunction 1t has seen the
constitution trampled in the dust of
lnhumanity and shame, denying our
citizens their inherent rights and re-
ducing the toilers to the lowest plane |

Representative Deliver. of Iowa

Representative Dolliver, of Iowa,
is now talked of as a candidate for
vlce-president on the Hanna-Shylock
ticket this fall, However, the plan
may not be consummated, as the slate
must bear the sanction of the Ohio
boss, and it is not certain that the
Iowa Statesman is of the Hanna
stripe. 1t seems there are quite a
number who are willing to march to
the altar of their party to be offered
as q sacrifice in the name of the gods
who shape the destiny of the Repub-
lican party. Great patriots, indeed!

APPEAL FROM DAVIS
And a Large Number of Porto
Ricans For Free Trade.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Secretary Root
today sent to the senate a letter from
Gen. Davis with petition from Porto
Ricans asking for free trade with the
United States. In the letter which is
dated San Juan, Feb. IA, Gen. Davis
says:
Il transmit five petitions which are
merchants, growers and manufacturers
asking for free trade relations with the
United States, so that some market
may be found for not only the surplus
crops of 1898 and 1899 but also for the
maturing crop of 1900. The surplus re-
ferred to available for export is about
100000 pounds and the portion of the
maturing crop which will not required
for local consumption is estimated at
about 100000 pounds.
In my frequent reports to the de-
partment I have fully stated the grav-
ity of the industrial situation 1 can
not in any words at my command over
state the urgency and the necessity for
relieving the industrial paralysis now
existing in Porto Rico"
After giving a resume of the existing
condition, he adds:
The only remedy for the industrial
condition can suggest is the opening
OF markets for accumulated surplus Of
productions and the establishment of
such trade conditions by congressional
legislation as will give confidence to in
vestors and encourage the development
OF the natural resources Until this is
done the paralysis must continue and the
poor and helpless in increasing num-
bers must be fed, or they will starve to

BREAD THAT'S EATABLE.
The Anti Microbe, No-Dust Package
That Felt Sells.

The Commercial club has brought
several new enterprises to Topeka, but
the most recent absolutely new depart
ure was developed through the in
genuity of II. v. Felt, at 507 West
Tenth.
Felt's father was a politician, educat-
ing and pleasing the minds Of the peo-
pie. The son finds a way to the souls
of humanity with his bread. He now
puts the loaves OF bread, hot and smok
ing from the oven, into an alright
paper which is Immediately sealed with
wax. When this bread is ready to
leave things earthly it goes direct from
this air-tight package. The consumer
therefore avoids dust, bacteria, mi
crobes and other elements not necessary
in the sustenance of the human body.
All grocers-Topeka grocers know a
good thing-have Felt's home loaf-its
the equal of any bread baked in town
and it's clean and good to eat What
more do you want?
