NOT MUCH RELIEF.

"The whole country breathes with a
sense of relief and of content" ex-
claimed Secretary Long at Boston,
proudly swelling his official bosom.
But the Omaha Nonconformist doesn't
breathe that way. 1t says:
"The whole country breathes with a
sense Of relief and of content" o,
Lord! what lie. There was never so
much discomfort. Is the American
mother content whose son was driven
to insanity or suicide by the awful
horrors of our Asiatic war? Are the
old abolitionists content when they
see slavery again recognized in Ameri-
can territory? Are the people content
when they see the Declaration of In
dependence denied and the constitution
Of the United States trodden under
foot? Was the legislature of Iowa
content when 1t voted unanimously to
censure the president and the con-
gress? Are the great Republican
newspapers content when they de-
nounce the vacilation, cowardice and
trimming of their own president and
their own congress? If the father of
lies could have heard that speech he
would have retired from business and
hid his head in shame forever.

MORE PORTO RICO lNFAMY.

Another of the hidden beauties of
the Porto Rican bill has come to light.
Whether it was hidden from everyone
or only the general public cannot be
said with certainty. What is certain
is that it rebounds to the advantage
of the trusts and corporations which
seek to exploit the island for their
own benefit. But then this is only
what was to be expected Legislative
discoveries always do rebound to the
advantage of the rich and strong.
Perhaps this is because they can pay
for their discovery.
This discovery is that the Porto
Rican bill, so far from reducing the
Dingley tariff rates, really increases
them in certain instances The treas
ury department has decided that goods
sent from Europe to Porto Rico via
an American port. where they are
trans-shipped. must pay not only the

DEMOCRATS ALERT.
KEEPING BATTLES OF 1906 OUT
OF THE PARTY.
Even Those who Did Not Openly Oppose
Bryan Shall Not Be Trusted-Are At
tempting to Run tho Regular Organ
izafion


We warn the people to look with
suspicion upon any movement on the
part of those who supported the ticket
IN 1895 for mere regularity sake, to
now set aside the heroes of that con-
test and secure seats in the conven-
tons for themselves. In every neigh
borhood are to be found some, and in
some neighborhoods many, who made
no open opposition to the Democratic
ticket in 1896, but who secretly cast
their votes for Mckinley. Many Of
these are now seeking to be sent as
delegates to the Democratic conven
ton for the purpose of undoing what
was done in 1896, with the determine
ton to again secretly work for the de-
feat of the ticket in case they fail to
control the nomination in the inter
ests of their employers, the money
kings, trusts and monopolies.
One of the ear marks by which
these suspects may be known is their
hostility to sending instructed dele
gates. They will work and vote
against sending an instructed. delega-
ton, whether they themselves are to
be delegates or not, because refusal
to instruct delegates is capable Of be-
ing construed to confer upon such
delegates a discretion in the matter
of nominations, and to thus leave the
gate open through which the agents
Of the trusts may conduct trade and
dicker with the delegates. -National

What senator Hale Thinks.

Senator Hale of Maine is one of the
members of the Republican party who,
like Hoar of Massachusetts,. is inimical
to the Mckinley colonial policy. He
said in the senate the other day, op-
posing measure to make colonial Off
Gals honest:
1.-THE history of colonial possessions
from the days of the Romans to the
present time, is a history of robbery,
peculation, extravaganza, wrong doing
in high quarters, and corruption broad
and large. do not think that the ex-
amples of today are going to show that
the American people are to be exempt
from the monstrous evils which al
ways have attended colonial policy.
1.-THE jaunty way in which the Amer
lean people have embarked in the en-
terprise of colonial possessions has
certainly received a rebuke in what
has been seen to happen during the
last few months. The Senator from

are now before the rule which has
been written down in all history is

WHAT M'klNLEY HAS COST US

When the Hon. Thomas G. Platt
went forth to the St. Louis convention
of 1896, breathing threatenings and
slaughter against Mckinley. he was
reported to have said, MCKINLEY is
cheap man." However true the
statement was when made by the
astute Boss of New York, he and all
others in the world of politics are Of
the opinion that Mckinley is not a
cheap man. He has cost us one hun
dred and eighty times his weight in
gold, and the shrewdest men of his
political party who are not stock
holders in trusts, would gladly spend
a vast sum of money for his undoing
at the Philadelphia convention.
But the Republicans who oppose
Mckinley are we'll nigh powerless in
the councils of their party. They must
sit still and see the trusts, govern
ment contractors and officeholders re-
nominate Webbing Willy, the Whang-
doodle Weathercock, who has cost a
million dollars day during his first
term, and who, if elected again, is sure
to cost US much more than daily sums
Of wicked extravaganza incurred by

ABOLISH THE TARIFF FOR
TRUSTS.

One plank of the Sioux Falls plat
form ought to be in all platforms, and
a part of the peoples creed, until it is
part of an act of Congress designed
TO destroy the trusts. This is it: 1--WE
further demand that all tariffs, on
goods controlled by a trust, shall be
abolished" That the tariff, in many
instances, is a breeder of trusts and
the destroyer of competition is so
obvious as to make argument or illus
tration unnecessary. To-day, in Eng
land. American steel is being sold at
cheaper rate per ton than in the
home market. Foreign competition is
barred. The trust fixes the price.
Every farmer who builds a fence and
every laborer who buys an implement,
pays tribute to the steel Cor steaD
combine, solely because the Repub-
lican party has fostered and promoted
the combination on the pretext of pro-
tecting the wage-earner.
How much longer will the farmers
and laborers tolerate these policies of
plunder2
Do they not want all customs tariffs,
on goods controlled by trust, abol-

If they do, is it not plain that the
Democratic party should receive their
support? Will they remember this on
election day?-Buffalo Times.

IN FINANCIAL PERIL.

THE greenbacks should not be de-

long established legal ratio of silver
be disturbed. The country needs in
crease of money. and not decrease, as
population, property and business OF
all kinds are constantly increasing.
The Indebtedness of the country, do
nestle and foreign. is immense, and is
many billions of dollars.
While the money capitalistic
classes are doing everything in their
power to show favorable money con-
ditions till after the coming elections,
not disdaining falsehood and deceitful
Misrepresentation our gold is being
constantly exported to meet the press
ing demands of foreign money condi-
tons, proving the single gold standard
a destructive policy for the United
States.
Every effort is being made through
the majority of newspapers and many
leading public men to deceive our peo-
pie as to our financial condition by
