There is an effort being made to con.
vince England that the United States
will sell iron to her cheaper than her
own ironmasters can produce it. MI.
Chamberlain is said to have believed
this bit of news in the hope of pushing
his protective tariff propaganda. The
argumhnt ought not to alarm Eng
land 3 iron men unless they are rob
bling their consumers as the American
consumer is being robbed. Most any
old thing can be made in the United
States and sold in Europe cheaper
than in this country. Australia can
buy American made machinery cheap
er than our own people can, so that
England may enjoy the benefits of a
protective tariff without having sys-
tenn of her own.
Wall Street has in it the most arrant
set of towards ever grouped. A little
frost in Dakota will change values of

cotton belt affects the cotton market,
and as for railroad bonds, and steel
trust securities, and chemicals, there
need be nothing but a rumor to cause
a stampede. They are worse than the
Cuban soldiers were when the United
States began benevolent AssimiIa-
tion." They had become so democrat
lied that when report came that a
Spanish column was moving on. the
right they went pell nell through
mud and mire to the left. When a re-
port came of Spaniards in front they
stampeded to the rear, and thus it
went on, and was called War. Now
Wall Street is undergoing spasms like
one who has been poisoned, and when
it can stampede is running this wav
and that like scared horse. Yet these
are the people who ask the nation to
entrust the monetary affairs to them.
these are the Captains of Industrv''
who are to command and win battles
in the financial world, as the captains
won the naval battle of Santiago.
These are the brave and valient sol.
diers in whom we are to trust. These
are they who have fed in the face of
defeat, leaving the devil to take care
of the hindmost, these are Prosperity7s
soldiers, and a nice set they are to be
sure.

Make the G. D. Prove II.

Last Monday the St.Louis Globe
Democrat contained the following
editorial squib:
Unfortunately for Sam Cook
the bribery transaction which dis
qualities him for the governOrship
is equally a bar to his running for
any other office. Missourians
have been shown in the case OF
Cook. He witnessed. the bribery
of a state senator to prevent the
reduction of excessive fees, and
kept mum about it until Folk
brought out the incident. But for
the statute of limitations, Cook
could be indicted for a crime the
penalty for which, according to
the statutes, is a term of years in
the penitentiary. Cooks proper
course is to resign, and at once"
Now the MESSAGE insists that
S am Cook should make the Globe.
Democrat prove its charge, that he
has been guilty of a crime. The
Globe Printing Company
is a rich corporation, worth
perhaps its millions, and if
Sam Cook is not guilty as charged
he should make that paper come
down a hundred thousand for libel.
The MESSAGE wants to be fair; we
don't want to misrepresent Sam
Cook, nor do we want to see him
abused if he is not guilty. He
should see that this matter is
cleared up. He cannot afford to
let it rest longer. He owes it to
himself, to his family and his
friends and to the people of the en-
tire State who have elected him to
a high office.
Mr.. Cook, make the old CD.
hush up; make it prove its charge.
The people want the truth in this
matter. You can't treat the charge
with silent contempt; if you choose
that course, then don't presume to
ask the Democracy of this state to
ever again elect you to office.

Judge Robinson of the Supreme
Court of Missouri is cousin of
Mrs. W. T. Dyson of this city but
Judge Robinson is Republican
and that is one thing Mrs. Dyson
does not altogether admire in her
cousin. She is sure he is no better
than bad Democrat, joining bad
Democrats in fining an editor $500
for what is called constructive con-
tempt, without jury, witnesses or
appeal. However, she is glad the
people paid the fine, and she is
sure that not one of these Judges
will ever again be elected to office
by the voters. Ed Butler was con-
victed Of boodling over eight
months ago but the Supreme Court
laid his case over to next October,
yet jumped onto a poor defensless
editor Immediately. Here is how

son who was recently to visit its
