once more sharp and distinctly on its
own undying principles, before 1t can
gain, or even claim, the respect and
confidence OF the nation. 1t must free
itself OF all the spawn OF Republican
paternalsm, the product of the long
teaching Of that party, that govern
ment can do anything and does best
when 1t interferes most with the
affairs OF the citizen,
"Populism and free silver are the
legitimate children OF Republican
teaching and practice.
:" Because the Republican party
would not carry its practice to the
logical limit OF its teachings, these
misled but mostly sincere followers
broke away and invaded Democracy;
let them go back, or, better, consider
what Democracy means and join its
forces against an enemy which has
disappointed them and driven our
government far from the ancient
landmarks OF safety and freedom for
the people.
",rhe Iowa convention marks the
turning point In the history OF the
party. AS n state convention, pure
and simple, it Is of little account; as
an indication OF a growing change
and final reversal OF party policy,
1t is vastly significant In all its
developments and bearings.

REPUBLICAN, ADMISSIONS.
Side Lights ON Post once Scandal.
Patriots shake In Their Boots.


The post office scandals have warmed
up so In the rear of that Republican pa
troit and statesman, secretary of the
Republican national committee and
erstwhile assistant postmaster general,
Perry S. Heath, that he has fallen to
explaining about his share in them.
He freely admits that there were ir-
Irregularities during the war with Spain,
but claims that even the postmaster
general and the cabinet sanctioned
what was done He confesses that
large amounts of money were used for
purposes for which they were not ap-
propriated but says that the idea that
funds were used for private use Is tut
terly silly" The war with Spain being
In progress, the soldiers had to be sup.
piled with mail, and, in the language
OF the patriot Heath, there was no
time to daily. 1t was up to us to get
busy and get busy quick" From the
charges and rumors OF the doings of
the department during the busy reign
OF Perry and the other patriots who
lowered around him-and names high
up on the Republican scroll Of fame
are mentioned-therc Is no doubt that
but little time was wasted In getting
down to business.
The redoubtable Perry does not men,
ton the Irregularities in the appoint
ments and promotions, but he does say
that Mr.. Tulloch, who has made some
OF the charges, was relieved by Post
master General Smith, which he had
perfect right to do" and makes further
uncomplimentary remarks about that
gentleman which indicate that he was
an "obstaclc" to Perry and the depart
ment 1t was not long after this that
Perry was fitting out the expedition to
Cuba which looted the post office de.
partment in that country, In which
Hanna's friend Rathbone and Perry's
friend Nicely met their Waterloo at the
hands of the ungrateful Cubans and
were convicted Of cmbezzlcment and
reposed in Cuban bastile until par
doncd
Many Republican patriots were In
deed very busy In those days making
hay while the sun shone and laid the
groundwork for most Of the scandal
and disorder that are now partially
coming to light.
If some of the other departments
had the Y rays turned on them, not in
the subducd way in which the post Of
fee investigation is being examined,
but in the full glare of the public scru-
tiny, and all had their just deserts,
there might be hardly enough Repub-
lican leaders left unsmirched to hold
the national convention.

While Congressman Babcock was
iain Mineral Point last week he met
Robert Lanyon, the well known zinc
manufacturer; and after introduction
they began TO talk national politics.
In part, Mr.. Lanyon said: 81 under
stand that you are q tariff reformer.
That Is right The tariff schedules
ought TO be reduced and In fact there
IL urgent need OF their reduction.
Use your influence with the national
administration to prevent the secre-
tary OF the treasury from paying
exorbitant premiums to the bond
holders. IL Is not sufficient to say
that the money must be gotten out Of
the treasury. II finds II Is gotten into
the treasury only through taxation.
The proper remedy Is simply TO re-
duce taxation. Besides, the only way
TO reach the trust Is through II reduc-
tion OF seaboard taxes" The Demo-
crat submits this brief reference to the
views OF MIR. Lanyon as text for
"a discussion OF national politics by
our exchanges. Questions Of princi-
pies and policies arc more deserving
OF attention than the fractional politics
which fills the editorial columns OF
80 many newspapers In Wisconsin.

AMERICAS TRUE
MISSION.

We hear greal deal said Of late
about the United States becoming n
world power We boast Of an en-
larged navy and OF our ability to
conquer on land and on sea. But VIC
must not forget that we have always
been u world power. We believe that
our power as u nation will increase,
30 long NJ we stand for true. princi-
pics OF government and the rights OF
humanity. In touching upon the
question, The Detroit Free Press
recently said.
There Is not u civilized nation In
the world today whose later destiny
has not been shaped and moulded by
the experiment OF republican institu-
tions In the United States, and the
power OF this experiment has been
greater than any ever cSerted merely
by battleships or rapid.ilre guns. 1t
docs not follow that battleships and
rapid-iire guns are not very good
things OF thoir kind, but II is well To
free ourselves from the latest delusion
that we are great only by the tonnage
of our navics aud the number Of
fingers ready to pull the trigger
OF Krag Jorgensen II there
ever was n nation that was ~ world
power from the day II sprang into
being, that nation IL the United
States, and back OF It's influence has
not been merely Willingness to fight,
but rather willingness to fight only
for great and true principles. That

world power worth being,

MuHzIiup the Press.

Governor Pennypacker, the tool of
the Quay ring, has signed the bill that
the corrupt legislature Of the state
passed to muzzlc the press. 1t will now
be in order for Boss Plat, BOSS Adj
dicks Boss Hanna and the other Re
publican bosses to order the subservi-
cnt legislatures OF the states they rule
to enact similar legislation. The car
toons seem to be the most obnoxious
matter the newspapers publish, and
the new law is especially designed to
stop the publication OF pictures carica-
turing public officials. The ring In New
York attempted to pass such law two
or three years ago, but public opinion
in that great commonwealth would not
submit to any interference with the
freedom OF the press. The majority Of
the people OF poor old boss ridden Penn
sylvania seem to be willing to put up
with any outrage "for the sake of the
party" II Is long lane that has no
turning, and this last insult may be
the straw that will break the back of

There have been so many Interior
enccs with the natural law Of wages
and other natural laws that II really
does not seem worth while to think
much about them. The trust is artlf.
cial, the corporation is artificial, pat.
ents are artificial and. above all, pro.
tectiye tariffs are artificial. And all
these agencies ohstruct the free play
OF natural law. So Mr.. Parry thinks
that the workers should leave their

Madison Democrats; "The Iowa
convention drives the last nail In the
coffin OF the fallacies OF the Kansas
City platform.
But the hold the deluded had was
disastrous to the democratic party
and still more disastrous to the
country. Free silver and Organism
fastened upon us the Dlngley tariff,
and IT opened the way for the multi
plication OF trusts and monopolies
1t plunged us into the world-power
folly and the plague OF insular pos
sessions. Though the free silver
delusion Is u thing OF the past,
another and greater still remains.
The notion that the protective tariff
causes our present prosperity Is one
more senseless, calling for more
human gullibilty and intellectual
verdancy, callowness OF Judgment
and rawness OF understanding, than
was ever displayed by the principle
OF l6 to l. The time Is not far distant
when u man will blush In the dark to
think that he ever believed this
favorlte humbug Of the present time.
