THE INIQUITIES OF CLASS
LEGISLATION IN THIS
COUNTRY.

Glass legislation in the United
States was inaugurated while the at
tention of the American people was
focused on the tremendous issues of
the Civil War The twin crimes
against justice and humanity-our pro-
tective tariff and national banking sys-
tems-came to light at that time,
when the people were off their guard
and had their attention riveted on
other things. And these two gigantic
evils have evolved four others scarcely
less gigantic evils; the gold standard,
the trusts, Imperialism and militaiism
The national bank act took the most
sacred function of government away
from the people and placed it in the
hands of soulless corporatons-the
supply, regulation and control of the
circulating medium of the republic
is the most delicate, vital, sacred and
far-reaching function of government,
and that had been turned over BODY
and soul to corporations whose pros

Gent for either grass land or for corn
or wheat On grass it is usually spread
in the fall, October being good
month. When applied to land design
ed for wheat or corn, it should be
spread on the plowed ground before it
is narrowed, or if more convenient for
corn it may be applied in the fall on
the ground that is to be used for corn
in the spring. Lime tends to sink into
the soil and therefore should be an
piled to the surface. In some cases il
may be wisest to buy plant food in Or
der to increase the yield. In many
eases there is enough lazy plant food
in the soil, and it may be most profita-
bic to lime the land, thereby setting
free plant food while at the same time
improving the physical condition of the

REPUBLICANS CONTROL AND
MANAGE NEW YORK ICE
TRUST.

Not long ago, the CITIZEN published
an article showing that nearly, if not
quite, all the officials of the New York
Ice Trust, which seems to be the only
one in existence from the Republican
viewpoint, were republicans and that
it was only following in line, the policy
of all TariH-made trusts, that Cypress
the people and declare enormous divi-
bends on watered stock 1t will also
be remembered that the New York
JoUrHm Democratic newspaper
showed up the iniquities Of this cruel
ombination and published a list Of the,
stockholders, among whom were Mayor
Van Wyck, his brother, Augustus,
Richard Croker aud several other pro-
minent Democrats, among thousands
of others. As these gentlemen stated
at the time, they were not inter. sted in
the actual control or management of
affairs, but simply purchased the stock
on change, as an investment.
During the campaign the Repubi-
cans have used this fact in their argu-
ments that the Democrats are showing
a mean disposition and also an incon-
sistant one, when they denounce trusts.
Teddy Roosevelt is also very loud
mouthed about tie ice tlust and SIT
stays out West whilst he has il ia his
power to deal strongly with this con.
Germ and those implicated. He and
his party now seek to turn the cry
against the Democrats, like the real
thief in Dickens novel, Oliver Twist.
Apropos of this fact, in reprint below,
dispatch to the Washington Times
from New York. which is selfexplani-
tory aud disposes of this arrant non
sense about Democratic completely in
the ice trust:
"NcW York, Oct. Gall the
officers and directors of the

per cent of its Stockholders, ac-
cOrding to the statement of
President Charles w. Morse to-
day, are Republicans. Mr..

President w. III. Gelshehen of
the Ice Trust Directory was the
Democrat of the company.

Morse, voted for Mckinley in

ly made this announcement in
defending his party against Ice

Croker with coming nearer to
the truth than the Republican

Dishonest Methods of the
Honest Money League.

In the Baltimore SIN a few
days ago the Honest Money Dem
ocratic League published a long
list of German Americans, who
were labeled for Mckinley.
Since then there has appeared in
the same paper cards of denial
from many of those whose names
were printed. 1t has been said
that the greater number are Re.
publicans, and a few voted for
Mckinley in 1896. 1t is just as
well to look a little nearer at this
campaign bluff. This same
Honest. Money League is also
busy sending out literature to
advance the cause of Mckinley.
Not satisfied with the progress
their anti-silver propaganda is
making among the people, and
fearful Of their own "trustn in
terestS, they have gone to the
extreme limit of political subter-
fuge and ignominy by inclosing
with their own gold standard
appeal, high tariff arguments
and other essentially repugnant
campaign papers issued by the
Republican National Committee.
This is the height of i'm
pudence. Whilst there are some
Democrats who may not agree
with Mr.. Bryan's views on some
questions, we doubt exceedingly
if there are many or any who
favor McKinley's policy on the
tariff or trusts, unless it means
direct financial benefit to them.
selves. In that case they would
be identified with the league and
removed from the bane of this
obnoxious literary downpour.
Already many Democrats have
protested by open letter to the
league, against this dishonest
form of campaigning and if a
true estimate can be found of the
motives of this organization by
the methods it is using, it should
be known as the Dishonest.
Money League and be placed
where it belongs, from old asso.
Citations, a right. hand ally of the
Republican party in this State
and nation.
