In the death of John Sherman is re-.
moved almost the last of the statesmen
who took an active part in the legisla-
ton of the war and reconstruction Pc
RODS. His career as lawyer and states
man is familiar to the merest schoolboy
of the land. Beginning with his election
to the national house of representatives
in 1854, his record was one of successive
honors and promotions. After having
served as representative re was made
senator and such was the esteem in
which he was held by his constituents
that his reflections to the Office were as
regular as the expirations of his terms.
Indeed, from 1854 to 1898 there was only
one day whereon John Sherman was out
of office. That was March 8, 1881, the
day after he had rendered his reslgna.
ltion rs secretary Of the treasury under
the Hays administration and the day
before he took the oath of Office as
reelected senator. His great work was
as secretary of the treasury and this
made him an authority on finance, ac'
cepted by the universities Of the land.

RELATIVE TO BIENNIAL ELEC.
TIONS.

The voters will be called on this fall
to vote on constitutional amendment
changing the present annual election
system of the state to a system that
will giye7the voters an opportunity once
in two years to "turn the rascals out, !"
says the Blockton News. The only
argument in favor of the change is the
expense Of holding two elections where
only one would be held under the new
plan. The voters of Iowa have always
been opposed to constitution tinkering
and the News believes they should
stand by that same objection in this
instance. The amendment was con-
ceived by a lot OF cheap Office holders
and log-rolled through the legislature
by them. Should the amendment be
ratified it would extend the lease in
office for one year of all the officers in
the towns, townships, counties and
state. Here is the real meat in the
cocoanut.
The Chicago Tribune truthfully states
the case when it says, that "the most
corrupt state governments in the union
are in states having biennial elections .
The Tribune's theory is that we need
an election every year in order to keep
the office holders close TO the people
We especially need to keep the fellows
who are seeking this method Of length,
ening their official life little closer to
retirement to private life. Annua
elections may be expensive and fre'
quent campaigns are somewhat annoy
ing and all that; but corrupt an,
rotten state government would be {
thousand fold worse. The voters ha,
better retain their right to gets chance
at the "rascals" once each year. An,
they will be safe in retiring to private
life the would be constitution linkers.

address covering the trust question,

finest ever delivered in Adams county.

Slavery does exist in the island Of
Sulu under the protection of the Amer
ican flag. MIR. Mckinley himself does
not deny the fact. It exists there by
agreement with the yellow satrap Of
that island that the slaves should re-
main in bondage under the American
flag until they should purchase their
freedom at "the usual market price"
Mckinley is probably the only presi.
dent Of the United States who has put .
price upon commercial traffic in human

10 YOUNG MEN NEED APPLY,

=, & &
Our republican contemporary again
deigns to notice the candidacy of v.
II. McGinnis, democracy's candidate
for congress in this district, and this
time in a quarter column article, the
burden Of which is that Mr.. N ceiinnis is.
Ia sayonngsnian. Ss: ssss ss3 49, i,
Y cannot ses what crime il Is for q
young man to aspire to an offi.e Mr..
McGinnis is now past 81 years of age,
and being entirely self-m,de man, the
majority of those years have been spent
brushing up against the rough edges OF
the world in the competitive race of life,
and he has gained an experience of a
most practical kind, which few men fav-
orably situatedin early life would gain
in double that time. That experience
eminently fits him for the position which
he has been nominated by his fellow cit
liens of the eighth district, and to which.
we believe they are going to elect him in
November.
Again we say; it is surely no crime to
be young man, (although 81 years Of
hard experience in life does not leave a
man so tenderly young.) All Of us were
young men once, and all know that the
best years of mans life are from 35 to
45. Mr.. McGlnnis is in that prime, and
can render the best service to the dis
trict in congress he would be able to
render. A-man ought not to be COM
pelled to wait till his hair is grey with
the fros;s Of age before he dare aspire or
his friends dare call him, to fill posi-
tions of trust in the counclls of his coun-
try.
Mr.. McGinnis' age is in his favor, as
against his, whose body is now racked
with the disease ofage from which he is
now trying to get relief in the healing
waters Of HotSprings, Arkansas. Every
young and middle aged man in the dis
trict should rally to the support Of Mr.
MeGinnis, and by their votes forever
silence this objection to man. who as
pires to Office ere he is in the decline o
life. Mr.. McGinnis is the young man'
candidate and should receive the hearty
support from every young man in th,
district. Heis also the older mans can
dilate who is not candidate tor offic,
himself, as every such man well know
that at his age he is in the prime of hi
ma lhood, and can render the people 0
his district better service now than hi
opponent at his age, in the decline Q
his manhood.
We do not believe the efforts Of tn
opposition to cast reflection upon MI
McGinnis because of his age, will avai
them anything but will strengthen MI
McGinnis' case before the yoters.-Cres
ton Advertiser.

THE FARMERS PROSPERITY,

The simperialists are going to get
fooled in the farm vote. They have
boasted that they have fooled the farm
er but they haven't.
The farmer is intelligent. A great
deal more so than the average republi.
can politician gives him credit for He
knows that the rise in the value of farm
products comes from the wars and large
armies now in the field the world over.
This is legitimate rise in his products,
resulting from the natural cause of SUP.
ply and demand and the republican
party had no more to do with it than
the car of Russia or queen of England.
The farmer also knows that this advan.
tage which he has in the rise of his
products is more than of set by the rise
in the price of what he has lto buy be-.
cause Of the trust. There is no reason
on earth why the price of coal oil, gaso.
line, nails, wire, stoves, farm nipple.
ments, etc., should have gone up fifty
per cent. The manufacturers are not
paying labor any more than they did
four years ago. The wars create no de-
mand for these goods. The rise in the
price of these articles is pure cussedness
onsthe part of the great combinations
and they are simply skinning the farm
Ter. The Standard Oil company has,
during the past year, divided as divi-
dends among its stockholders $4S, ,O0O,-
000-a large part of which it simply
robbed the farmer of by increasing the
price Of oil, gasoline, etc., 30 per cent.
The products of this company are not
used in war-they have not increased
the pay of laborers a cent, and there is
no legitimate reason for this advance in
price except that of greed and avarice.
| The administration has not only refused
to crush this gigantic monopoly but At
torneyGeneral Monette of Ohio, re.
publican who undertook to prosecute it
for violating the antitrust law. was
driven out of the republican party.
The encouragement of Nebraska, a
populist, is trying to enforce the anti
trust law of that state against this great
combine, and Senator Thurston, who is
drawing salary Of $4,000 year to look
after the interests of his state, is en-
ployed by the trust to fight his own
state and defend the trust
The Iron and "Steal' trust is equally
as infamous. 1t divided $4,000 900 in
dividends last year and the farmers paid
4 the bill.
/ These gigantic trusts have grown up,
have been .fostered and protected by the
republics party. Whatever the farm
er has i'm the way Of increase ha.
come n.honestly and legitimatel,

PROSPERITY ~ FOR THE WIVES

The wage laborers wife who depends
upon her husbands wages and what
little things she and the children can do
to help out, will naturally prefer to buy
twenty pounds Of fine sugar for adollar,
rather than thirteen pounds for dol
lar, and coarser sugars and other nee.
essaries in proportion. Then. she will
induce her husband to vote for Bryan,
for the Mckinley trusts have raised the
price on what she must buy of every
thing needed on an average of 33 per
cent. Her husbands g wages have not been
raised but 10 per cent. at the extent of
McKinley's claim, and the fact is wages
average lower now than when Mckinley
was elected, and more men are out Of
work.
The farmers wife also with her eggs
and butter can now buy only thirteen
pounds of sugar with the same number
of eggs and pounds Of butter with
which she bought twenty pounds be-
fore Mckinley was elected, and all other
things she buys at the stores average IS
per cent. higher. All her husband
must buy also is increased the same
average per cent, while according to
the Year Book this year issued by the
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, Nc
kinley's creature, farm products aver
age much lower than IN 1896.
Trusts cut both ways, they depreciate
what honest industry produces and in
crease all it has to buy. The trusts and
middlemen catch honest industry ..both
going and coming Under such con
dition prosperity must be and is great
with the trust boodlers; but can not be

10 the editor Of the Enquirer.
Please publish in your widely circula-
ted paper few reasons why a life long
republican will vote for William j..
Bryan.
l. Ihave always believed that the
Declaration of Independence meant
what it said. And / will not now re-
pudiate it by voting for William Nc.
Kinley.
2. l will not vote for man who, as
President Of our country, violates his
oath of Office by approving the Porto
Rico tariff bill. which is an open viola.
ton ofthe United States Constitution,
and this, too, after he had told Congress
that it was ''our plain duty to give
Porto Rico free trade"
8. l will not vote for a man who
declaims SO loudly against reputation,
and yet is on record as the greatest re-
pudiator of modern times.
In 1873 William Mckinley voted to
pass free coinage bill over the veto Of
President Hayes, and few years later
he repudiates his own vote.
In 1890 he was the author of a Law
giving the people of this country free
sugar, and in 1897 he signed law tax.
ing sugar from two to three cents q
pound.
In 1892 he declared that the American
people demanded the use of both gold
and silver as stan lard money, yet foul
years later we ind him repuaialiny tina,
declaration.
In 1898 he solemnly toll the people
of this country that "Forcible annex.
alton would be criminal aggression ,
Yet few months later we find hin
using the whole military and nava
power of the government for the pur
/ pose of forcible annexation.
4. will not support by my vote
hypocrite for Office.
5. will not vote for man for Pres
ident who proposes to place the Who'll,
money of the United States in tn,
hands of the bondholders that own tn
national banks Of the country, thu
allowing them double interest on III,
