Mckinley is reelected and prosperity
in large chunks is coming rapidly as a
result. Since the election,the beef trust
has raised the price of all kinds of meat
&c per pound. Hogs and cattle are low
er. The steel trust has raised the price
on all of its goods but no raise in wages
of employees The salt trust has raised
the price of salt 100 per cent but no raise
in the wages of the men who mine it.
The lumber trust has raised the price of
lumber on fence posts two cents and
other things proportionately; but no in
crease in wages to the man who cuts the
logs. John D. Rockefeller made s. ooo, 900
in rise in value of his Individual share of
Standard Oil stock because of McKin-
1ey's reelection. Oil has gone up; but
no one but the trust gets any benefit
from it. Sugar up and wheat down.
This is the full dinner pail-for the trust.
Everything they buy, labor and the raw
product is down and will go lower.
Everything sold BY them which means
all finished products, practically all arti-
cles of consumption are up and going
higher. This is what the people voted
for. They will get enough before Mack
and Mark and the trust get through with
them.

political crusader the world has ever

Of political genius to become the
founder OF great, new party, even as
Jefferson was the founder of the Demo-
cratic end Lincoln OF the Republican
party. Millions of men would enthusi-
astically rally to his standard under
these new conditions. 1t is not extrav-
agant to say that BRYAN could thus hold
two-thirds of the Democratic party and
very soon attract at least one-third of
the Republican party. These, together
with the other reform forces, would give
us majority of the voters Of the coun-
try before another election. believe
that had such party been formed four
years ago, Bryan would have triumphed
at this time. There were hundreds of
thousands of Republicans who would
gladly have voted for him, who would
not move into the Democratic camp or
help restore that party to power. We
lost because we thus failed to make in
roads in the Republican ranks.

There is a belief 10 Wellington that
the Morrison murder case will never
come 10 trial because twelve men can
not be found in Butler county who
have not heard the facts in the case
or expressed an opinion. There Is one
murder case IN record IN Kansas
which never came 10 trial for these
reasons. The case was in Stevens
county about eight years ago. and Is
well remembered bv WELLINGTON peo-
ple from the fact that the Wellington
militia was called there TO take part
10 the trouble which led up 10 the
murder. There were not more, than
about 200 men on the assessment list
of Stevens county who could be sum-
mOned as jurors. And there were
not twelve among these who did not
know too much about the case 10 act
as jurors. The man on trial was
James Brennan, the slayer nj Colonel
Sam Wood, in fight growing out Of
a contest for county seat, and the
prisoner was released because, under
the law, the court could mot send for
jurors outside Of the county.

Accordingly, propose that an early
date we have conference Of the leaders
of the parties referred to, in the central
part OF the country, for the purpose Of
effecting an immediate union, that we
may begin at once the organization Of a
new party. These forces should prompt
ly come together.
"We must unite or disintegrate, and
the sooner this initial step is taken the
better, SO that this great new movement
may begin with the dawn of the new
century.
81 therefore invite editorial comment
and an expression of views by letter
from the leaders interested, that may
give publicity to those views through the
press, and thereby secure concensus o.
opinion regarding the plan proposed"

A Populist legislature passed law fix
ing maximum price on text books
Against all the opposition the great book
companies could muster series Of books
equal to those before in use were adopt
ed. Now that the trusts are again in
powerit is proposed to raise the prices
for their benefit. Superintendent Nell
son has joined with others in the chorus
sung by the book companies that heav-
ier tribute must be levied upon the peo-
pie of the state. Trust prices must be
restored. To be consistent Republicans
should repeal the text book law and give
the trust full sway. If the people won't
stand that raise the price anyway. 1t is
being done on all other articles of
consumption.

To the Reform Forces Of the Country.

Mr.. George F. Washburn, Of Boston,
president Bryan club Of Massachusetts,
and treasurer Peoples party national
committee, has issued the following ap-
peal:
"The campaign Of 1900 was a contest
Of conscience against capital. 1t was the
greatest struggle for human rights since
tue days of Jackson or Lincoln. The re-
election of Mckinley was triumph for
imperialism and the trust. But our
grand reform movement will roll on to
ultimate victory.
"The last two national campaigns have
taught us important lessons. We can
not longer put new wine into old bot
tles;;" we cannot entrust new ideas to old
leaders. The control OF the. Democratic
party will now revert to German, Hill
and Croker and the old machine regime
they represent. This will create cleav-
age between the reactionists with old
ideas and the reformers with new ideas.
ITO succeed, our work must be on a
high political plane-absolutely clean
and far above the mire of machine
methods.
ut is beyond the range Of human
probability that Bryan will again become
the candidate of the Democratic party.
Indeed, it is admitted by the leaders Of
the New Democracy" that he was de-
ieated by Democrats to get rid of him.
He will not surrender to this element,
even to be president. He will not repu-
diate his record. He will not disappoint
his friends. But he can lead to victory a
new party, conducted on safe and con-
servative, yet progressive lines.
Therefore, to hold what We have and
maintain our present momentum, W
party must be formed. 1t is the quick
est road to ultimate success. We must
have a complete union of the reform
forces. They belong together. This
can be accomplished by uniting the Bry-
an Democrats, Bryan Republicans, Pop
ulists and other smaller bodies-to be led
by the Man of the Hour-whoever be
may be. Such a movement would draw
to itself the best elements in the two old
parties. This would leave out the ma
chine politicians and force them together
as the party of the opposition, where
they rightly belong.
add to this union of reform forces
the strong personality and masterful
leadership Of Bryan, and history would
repeat itself in the rapid assembling of
patriots to uphold and preserve the ma
tional honor under the inspiration of a
new century Lincoln. Such movement
would arouse patriotic enthusiasm not
equaled since the majestic uprising of
1860.
Although unsuccessful at the polls,
BRIAN is mightier man today than his
successful opponent. He is The greatest

The United States is the only govern
ment on earth of any consequence that
does not own and operate the telegraph.
More miles of railroad are owned bv gov
ernments than by private paties. Glas-
gov, Scotland, owns and operates its
street cars, water and lighting plants and
owus hundreds of tenement houses be-
sides other property and enterprises.
Edinboro, Berlin and many other cities
own nearly as much as Glasgow. The
income from enterprises carried on by
Glasgow pays all cost of operating, keep
plants in repair and pays all city taxes
and at rates less than with any private own
ed plants. Street car fares are &C. These
are samples of socialism. All fair trials

ages a messenger service, and spends
SIS, 900, 600 year in salaries alone. His
telegraph monopoly is run at a net loss
of about half million dollars year, Oh
an average, but the loss is due to the
sums spent in extending the service; the
actual receipts are increasing rapidly,
despite the fact that telegram of twelve
words costs the sender only twelve cents.
To this is / ow to be added the telc-
phones in the city Of London. The bill
passed parliament at the last session and
over 1000 men are now at work laying
underground wires. The British Nation
al Telephone Company, monopoly like
the Bell in this country, is fighting the
project but ineffectively.
1t is only question of a few years un-
til the government will own the entire
system throughout the country. The
rates charged by the government will be
less than 20 per cent Of what is now
charged.

The great trust masnates stand in the
same relation to the masses Of the people
today that the slave holding oligar-
cy did before the war. They controlled
the Democratic party and it controlled
the nation and had for years. The trusts
are today controlling the country through
the Republican party. Greed and lust
of power will soon cause them to over
reach themselves. There will be a new

Il
CAREER OF NATHAN HALE.


History of His Rise in Public Esteem
Reads Rather Curiously
| The character and career of Nathan
| Hale, the martyr spy" Of the Reyo-
luton, affords an ample basis for hero
worship. But the history of his rise
| in the public esteem reads rather GU
| riously. Everyone knows now that he
was a graduate of Yale and captain
in the Continental army, who under
took a hazardous errand within the
British lines on Long Island, was cap
tured, condemned and hanged as a
spy in New York, in September, 1875.
AT the time the case had little or no no.

man." hut that claim to immortality has
lapsed. 1t was not until 1886 that sim
pie monument was erected to his mem
DRY at his birthplace, South Coventry,
Connecticut Not until after the CEN
tenary Of his death did Hale's impor-
lance make wide impression. In 1887
Connecticut placed his statue in bronze
afterward a second bronze statue of him
was erected in the same city by public
spirited citizens In 1898 the Sons of
the Revolution gave to the city Of New
MES which stands in the southwest an
gle of the City Hall Park. One of this
features of the Yale college bi-centenni-
al celebration next year will be the I'M

youthful patriot. Four statues in four
teen years is not bad progress for a
hero who had to wait seventy years be-
fore grateful nation had raised a stone
or carved a line in honor of the man
who said II only regret that I have but
one life to lose for my country"
Nathan Hale was no common youth,
The memory Of his proves as an ath-
lete, his manly beauty and his excel
lence as a student and debater fingered
long at Yale, and tradition has fostered
the large opinion Of his ability and
character in his student days. From
college he turned to teaching first at
East Haddam, and then at New Lon
