Mckinley and Silver.

A recent number OF the National
WatehmaN, in an editorial entitled
"Sixteen to One" supplies inior-
nation that is much needed by the
people generally. and efectually
dispoSes of the great Republican
campaign bugaboo. Sixteen to
one is the ratio of gold and silver
coinage in the United States. Sill
yer dollars amounting to S9,s78,-
sra have been coined at our mints
between March and June 80 Of
this year. They are coined at the
ratio OF sixteen to one and put into
circulation. Mr.. Mckinley has
never suggested change Of ratio;
no Republican member OF Con-
gress ever proposed a change OF
ratio. Therefore, sixteen to one
is McKinleY's ratio and the ratio
OF the Republican party. Under
the Mckinley Administration to
June 80 there were coined at the
ratio Of sixteen to one sa,177,sa4
silver dollars. These dollars we're
coined under law passed June rs.
1898, and signed by William Nc
RinleY, President OF the United
States.
Washington sentinel., 1900-08-11
Tbrnes voters should Consider.


By far the most flourishing feat
ure OF our growing imperialism is
the war tax. By lormal declara-
ton we are alleged to be at peace
with the entire world; yet we con-
tinue to pay a tremendous tax to
the Republican Government for
the maintenance OF a military
equipment far greater than our
necessities.
This equipment will not only be
made permanent, but it will be
increased as imperial exigencies
arise. AS il increases so will your
tax increase.
The stamp tax feature OF the war
revenue alone amounted to Ss8,
6IS.o8I last year. Every voter
who affixes a tax stamp to doc
ument, bank check, telegram. ex-
press package, or anything else
required by the war law, or who
drinks a glass Of beer. makes an
enforced contribution to the impe-
rialism Of Hanna and Mckinley
and the Republican party.
This tax does not fall heavily
upon the poor. except in the
case OF the beer drinker, and
herein is its only redeeming feat
ure; but its purpose is militiate,
The foundation of imperialism is
militarism, and militarism involves
the payment of a continually in
creasing tax for the support Of a
continually increasing army.
Before you step up to the polls
YOU should carefully consider the
proposition OF a standing army OF
half a million men, and the enor
nous taxation it involves. We
have set our flag in alien seas, and
have established alien colonies,
which we hold by the sword. To
have and to hold these colonies we
endure the war tax. which newt
ably follows the flag when the
Constitution does not.
Commercial expansion and the
proper growth Of the country is
one thing, but the blood stained
expansion Of our war trail and war
taxes is quite another.
Washington sentinel., 1900-08-11

| Our Ar m Auu the lmperlAi AAAH"
The Republican Campaign Com
mittee is fighting strenuously anc
hopefully against the idea OF impe'
rialism. IL calls il a bogey-a
dream-idle chatter-an inchoate
chimera, and various other names
calculated to reassure the simple
minded inquirer.
To begin at the very foundation
Of things, let us take the imperial
war tax, which rolls 500, 900, 900
yearly into the Treasury from the
pockets Of the people. its very
existence means imperialism. 1t
is tax to support an army, not
to prosecute war. Before Nc
Kinley and his court became
blinded with the glamour OF the
purple it had been resolved to
abolish this tax with the establish.
ment Of peace. Peace has been
duly established, but the people
are still paving a war tax for the
support OF a regular army five
times as large as any that has ever
been called upon to uphold law
and order in this country in time
Of peace.
Is this not imperialism Are
not these taxes a copy Of the stu
pen6ous burden Of militariSm
under which the workingmen OF
Germany, France, England and
Russia are Proaning, and which in
Italy has been the indirect cause
of a most dastardlY rePicide9
There is absolutely no necessity
for regular army Of the McKin-
ley dimensions. II we have obli-
cations to perform million vol
unteers are ready and willing to
spring to the front.
The people Of this country pay
heavy war taxes for the support
Of an unnecessary regular army;
but that is not all. This army
must be supplied and provisioned.
ote the effect Of it;
Last week the price Of canned |
corned beef and roast beef ad- |
vanced from SI.as to $3.50 per
dozen for one pound cans. The
direct cause OF the advance was the |
demand for these goods by the |
United States Government for the
army. This raises the price of
these commodities to every Amer
ican miner in the Klondile and I
Cape Nome, or wherever else such !
canned provisions may be con-
sumed.
Thus the people pay taxes to
maintain an imperial army, and
this imperial army is the direct
means oi raising the cost Of living
at home,
But this is only one small shoot
in the slowly spreading banyan
tree Of imperialism. What does
the flag stand for in Porto Ricop
II does not stand for the Constitu-
.ion Of this Republic. It's signi6-
cation is that Of the French flag
over Madagascar, the Russian flag
over Turkestan, and the British
flag over the Transvaal. And there
still remains the im oerialism OF the
Philippines and our flag protected
harem in the Sulu Islands.
Let us have no more oil it.

This shows how little the Republican

OF their soldiers.

this trial | will mention One Of the
mem bers Of the Commission was Gen.
Bragg, Of Wisconsin, afterwards Dem
ocratic Representative from that State,
most likely because he was a Democrat
and unwilling to sanction the many out
RACES committed BY the Comm ssion,
when the trial was about five weeks old,
was suddenly discharged, and a new man
unacquainted with the case substituted,
and the Commission thus changed con

Ben and Bunch.

Some gentlemen were talking about
the present California campaign yes
terday, and the conversation drifted
into former campaigns, and the story
Of Colonel Bunch McI,ec's famous ex-
cursion during the ButlerTillman
senatorial contest. The story is not
new one; but is one good enough to
be told again. Bunch McBce, who
was then with the Southern railway,
was SO deeply interested in Senator
Butler $ campaign that he ran free
excursion to the point Of debate on
the occasion referred to and took
about 600 men, who tried to howl
Tillman down when he spoke. Ben
Tilman is something Of fighter him
self, and when man fights him, he
usually fights back. Colonel Bunch
McBcc having shown such "pcrni-
cious partizanship,' when Tillman
won his fight as United States SEN
ator, he demanded Of the Southern
railway Col. McBec's scalp. Bunch
McBcc had just gotten his discharge
and was standing in front of the
Southern railway office in Washing
ton City, when friend passing by
recognized him. lie had heard Of Col
oncl McBcc excursion; but was not
aware Of the tragic dcnoument, and
the following collnquy took place:
Bunch, is it true that you run an
excursion down there in California in
the Butler Tillman campaign"
"Ill tell you story replied Colo
mel McBee. "There was little fell
low down my way who married a
straping big woman by the name Of
Miss Mary Hopkins. This married
man occasionally got on spree, and
whenever he came home under such
circumstances his wife gave him a
sound drubbing. On one occasion,
when he reached his front gate, he
could not get up his courage to go in
and was sitting on the fence thinking
Of what was waiting for him, when an
old acquaintance came by and said:
Look here; didn't you marry Mary
Hopkins?' He replied: Yes, but
darned if I'll ever do it againl' That
story answers your excursion ques-
tion," replied Colonel McBee.
Bunch McBee was too good a rail-
road man to be long without job,
and he now has position with the
Seaboard better than the one he lost,
so he laughs over the excursion story
as heartily rs anyunc.--i augusta

Cotton Plant By.Product.

Other byproducts Of cotton plant
besides cot:onseed oil, oilcakc for
feed, and hulls for fertilizer are being
developed. One Of these is the use
Of the fiber Of the stalk for the manu-
facture Of begging. According to The
Scientific American, a machine has
been perfected for working the stalks
into baggiDg. Some Of this cotton
stalk bagging has been tested and pro-
nounced excellent for the purpose. 1t
is strong and clean, and does not
readily ignite. Five tons Of good
stalk will yield about 800 pounds Of
first-class fiber. At this rate the an
nual crop will produce all the bagging
needed to wrap the lint and leave a
surplus to be devoted to other pur-
poses. 1t is predicted that machinery
for making coarse mating from the
fibre will be produced shortly. The
Scientific American expresses the
opinion that if the experiments which
are now being made with the fiber are
successful 'it will not be many years
before the industry will assume gigan-
tic proportions"
The root of the cotton plant is being
experimental with for it's chemical
properties. The root of thc-Egyptian
cotton plant yields drug that has the
properties of crgot; and the American
plant, under chemical manipulation,
has yielded similar product. This
has not yet been fully developed. a
diff .rcnce has been detected in the
properties Of the roots of different kinds
Of cotton, long staple and short staple,
hence it is probable that many drugs
may be extracted from the different
varieties Of roots Tra1esman.
