PARTY OF THE sHYLOCKS.

The Republican party has consented
to every plan ever proposed since the
death of Lincoln by the money power
for the enslavement Of the white
masses of this republic.
The characterization Of silver in 1873,
after attempting it with i'll success
several times before. has been followed
by the passage Of gold standard meas
ures through both houses of the pres
ent congress
The banks have been trying ever
since the close of the civil war to force
congress to yield to their demand and
convert the greenbacks into a bonded
debt and confer upon the banks the
sole power to issue paper money. The
national banks have never been salts
fed with receiving fun interest on
their bonds and in addition TO have 80
per cent Of their capital returned to
them in the form of notes for circuIa-
ton, but have necessarily demanded
that they not only receive interest
upon the full amount of their invest
ment in bonds. but that they receive
in addition the whole amount Of capital
invested back in the form of bank
notes for circulation.
Unreasonable as this may seem it is
exactly what the Republican party has
guaranteed and what it has carried
out, so far as the currency measures
now pending in congress have gone
and viii be able to go:
The Republican party is the party of
the money power and it has reached
point where it makes little effort to
conceal this fact from the people. De
ception is WORKOUT trap for voters.
Coercion and corruption are Mark $
methods With the billion dollar
trusts behind him, the shipping sub
sidy scheme before him, the banks
using their financial thumbscrews in
his interest and the censor doing bust
ness at the old stand. Mckinley feels
reasonably secure from the general
public.

BEVERLDGE'S FAILURE.
Editor of The Herald

To the Editor Of The Herald:
Salt Lake City. Feb 10 1900.
Senator Beveridge went TO the Philip
pines and spent several months i'm study
ing the condition of affairs over there.
He came back. and all he had to say was
that the Philippines are d good invest
ment; that trade follows the fas, and
that there is room over there for the
United States to get big interest on ev-
cry cent of money that she spends.
Senator Beveridge is at least honest in
his motives. He is not like some leading
Americans. He does not claim our
friendly 90 attention to the FfipinOs is
actuated by love of humanity, for sweet
charity's sake or for progress, but sim
ply for greed And he comes right out
and tells US that the Philippines are
good thing, and l suppose he knows
good thing when he sees IL.
The writer does not critieise Senator
Beverage because he failed to find any
better reason for our Interference in the
tropical archipelago. Years ago. one of
the rulers of the Philippines gave a
learned priest a commission to write a
book on the character of the Tagals. The
priest went to work full of hope and
faith in his ultimate success.
A year afterward the monarch asked
the learned disciple of the church how he
was getting along. The priest said that
he was progressing very nicely.
So every year the ruler asked the priest
how things were progressing. and each
year the priest seemed TO have less faith
in his ability to handle the subject. At
last the monarch, losing patience called
the priest before him and commanded
him to make his report. The priest
brought in a number of beautifully bound
books and laid them before the impatient
sovereign, who. on opening them. one
after another, found all the pages blank.
He was puzzled and asked the reason for
such being the ease. The priest replied
that at the end Of the first day that he
spent in studying the Tagals ne could
have written 100 volumes. but that the
longer he studied them the less he knew
about them. They were an enigma and
an anomaly.
And so it was with the senator from
Indiana. He spent several months in
studying them and then had TO come
home and report that trade follows the
flag"
Senator Beverage missed his vocation
in life, and his failure is a pathetic one.

instead Of solOn.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

A suburban contemporary whose
zeal for English aggression would have
made it a Tory sheet a century ago,
and which, despite the lapse Of time,
still represents the spirit of Toryism,
is occasionally betrayed by excessive
adulation Of English leaders into
mdicrous blunders.
For instance. the Tribune devoted a
long editorial yesterday to "a vindi-
cation for Butler" which reminds one
OF the tribute bevy of admirers once
paid Bob Burdettc, They jointly in
dited him a letter praising a poem
which had just made its appearance in
a leading magazine. Bob replied,
gracefully acknowledging the praise,
even joining in and adding compliments
beside which those of his admirers
seemed aid indeed. TT was a beauti-
fuI sentiment, a sublime thought a
charming poem" and he was glad the
ladies liked it.
He signed his name and added a
postscript to this effect: The poem
isn't mine, at all; it was written by
my friend James Whitcomb Riley"
The Tribune has described Butler,
told Of his promise to eat Christmas
dinner in Pretoria and all that. But
the predictions or judgments it ''vindi-
Gates" were not uttered by General
Butler. although extensive quotations
are made from what purports to be his
exact language.
2. S.-Th0se remarks were not made
by General Butler at all. They were
made by General Butler.
