desire, the motive to do any wrong and
the wrong will cease to exist.
Mr.. Creelmans third contention is
that the mammoth mandatory cannot
produce more at less cost than the
same men and capital divided up into
a multitude Of little concerns. Here
again Mr.. Creelman ignores the fact
that half the energy OF each one Of these
little concerns Is diverted from other
work OF production to the warfare of
competition against its neighbor. He
fails to see that the expensive and COM
plete plant Of improved machinery can
not with the capital divided be dupli-
Gated in each little factory He fails
to note that with division of men and
capital large per cent. Of the workers
and real producers must be taken out
foremen, solicitors, statesmen. agents,
bookkeepers. etc. In fact, Mr.. Creel-
man seems to overlook much more than
he really sees.
Mr.. Creelman's fourth contention Is
that private trusts can be fostered and
controlled, and his fifth claim is that the
people have the laws in their own hands
and can make, unmake and change
them at will. Mr.. Creelman sums up
his nonsense or ignorance or perhaps it
may be hypocrisy in these words:
The people Of the United States are free
to change their national constitution and
laws. If they wish to get rid Of Industrial
monOpOltes they have the power to do It.
1t Is absurd to say that they are con-
trolled by the trusts. How can the trusts
prevent them from casting their ballots for
whom they please? II they do not pre-
serve their individual liberties, they do not
deserve freedom and are incapable of Sc
Socialist or otherwise.
Mr. Creelman discloses shocking
ignorance of the practical working of
our representative system of govern
ment when he says:
"How can the trusts prevent them
(the people) from casting their ballots
for whom they please?"
When we have cast our ballots for
whom we please we would ask Mr..
Creelman the much more practical
question: How can the people prevent
consolidated private capital controlling
those same representatives for whom
we have cast our ballots?

BRYAN DEAD, DAVE HILL ALIVE.

East Tennessee, who is in Minneapolis, and
who lectures this evening at the Hennepin

and further discourages all talk of Mark
Hanna being ambitious to become the chief
magistrate.
Discussing the political situation with
the Tribune last evening. DR.. Smythe said !:
"The talk that Mark Hanna is trying. or
even has any intentions, to become the next
president of the United States, is, in my
opinion, all rot.
"David B. Hill. according to my views.
will unquestionably be the first. and proba-

nominee Of his party for that Office.
'The disclosure Of Bryan's connection
with the Tammany gang in New York has
killed him politically"

They fear the influence Of his environ

A Crack At MAben.

A Crack At MAben.
To the Editor.
The discussion going on in the Rep
resentative between Mr.. Maben and his
fiat money opponents reminds me of the
old deacon who had driven a weazei
into a brush heap near his barn: The
deacon and his dog surrounded the
brush pile; the dog would make a dive
on one side, the old man punching and
threshing his side of the heap when
ever the weasel made his appearance;
getting excited and hot in the chase,
oaths followed thick and fast as he
showered blows after the elusive weasel.
Stopping to rest and cool off, his con-
science smote him for his profanity;
dropping on his knees he besought his
Creators mercy, and wound up by
pleading: ooh, Lord, Thou knowest the
weakness of human nature, and also
the tantalizing lodges of that pestifer-
GUS weasel, whose only reason for exist
erce is that he wears a skin worth about
~ CCAIo ~ III, yOu, SohO IAoI.
there he goes! Sic him, Towser,' said
the deacon as the weasel escaped to
the barn near by. Dang him, let him
go; he's only stinken' weasel, any
way"
With all respect for Mr.. Maben per-
sonally, the application of the story is:
Let Mr.. Maben go. He is only a gold
idolator masquerading in the role of
a scientific money man, lodging like a
weasel, as the following excerpt. from
his article conclusively proves:
I'VE all know that law makes money
and most of us will insist on a law
that will make sound money l. e.:
money composed of something having
commercial value, or else is backed
by something having stable and uni
versally recognized value. Purely
credit money is poor staff to lean
upon, as old soldiers can testify to, and
many another man corroborate.'
Mr.. Maben knows that it was the ex-
ception clause inserted in the green
back that occasioned the loss to the
old soldiers. l cannot imagine any
thing more illogical than Mr. Maben 8
position. If he has not already done so
he should join the Republican party.

Deafne.. Caunot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
cnly one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when 1t
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
Catarrh, which Is nothing but an infamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

DEMOCRATS DONE FOR.


Two recent events fortell the death
and seal the doom of the Democratic
party.
Dominant parties always become cor
rupt and at the South the Democrats
have long been in power.
Their policies. aims and purposes have
been of the Cleveland, German color
and have in no material way differed
from Republicans. Our Omaha plat
form places both old parties in the same
scedule of political iniquity. Now comes
the proof. President Mckinley has re-
Gently made important federal appoint
ments from among Southern gold DEM
ocrats, and is now touring the South
rounding up and assimilating what Bry-
an calls the Herefords of his party or
white faced Republicans.
BY these names Bryan seeks to con-
ceal the fact that these Southern men
are Democrats. He wants them known
as Republicans for Obvious reasons
Fact is they are Democrats first, last
and always, but stand for the same
monied interests as Hanna and McKin-
ley. They vote for Democratic nomi-
nees and for Republican measures and
refuse to be read out of their party by
Bryan.
The second event of great signifi-
canoe is the arrangement being per-
faCted and backed by Democrats in con-
gress and Democratic governors for
David b. Hill to tour the entire North
and Northwest through to the Pacific
coast at an early date to prepare Demo-
Gratis for his presidential candidacy in
1904
Think of Bryan and his sympathizers
still calling themselves Democrats and
expecting reform out of such prepara,
tions and from such men as are now
the most conspicuous figures in the
Democratic party. Reformers are de-
serting Democracy and before 1904 Mr.
Bryan will i.nll off his Democratic badge
and come in line with a third party gen.
uine reform movement.
People will notifollow flag inscribec
on one side Democracy and on the other
reform. They are up to the old fraud
and are already beginning to scatter.
