Power Of Cattle Rarons.

The organization of the Western
cattle Barons to fight the beef com
bine is an anomaly, as both are after
the same game of plundering the pub
lie. The barons have banded them
selves together into what might be
termed the grass trust and are trying
to get the farmers of the Western
states to help them fight the beef
trust. The cattle barons are even
worse robbers than the beef barons,
in that they monopolize all the yalu-
able government land and through
their retainers prevent, by force OF
arms. if necessary, any owner of a
small herd or a settler from intruding
at the peril of his life. To show the
power of these cattle barOns, they
have succeeded in forcing President
Roosevelt to give up his intention of
removing the barbed-wire fences with
which the barons have unlawfully in
closed about all the government land
on the Western plains. Politically
both these combines are Republican
and liberal contributors to the cam
paign fund of that party, which prob.
ably accounts for their immunity from
punishment by the administration

The G. o. p. Machine.

All the acts and doings of the com.
ing Republican national convention are
being fixed up at the White House.
The candidate for vice president, the
platform, who shall be temporary and
permanent chairman, even the
speeches are all being considered and
censored by President Roosevelt.
Political bosses and dictators gen:
orally have a hard time of it, so the
report that the President is much ex-
hausted by the constant and pro-
longed conferences that are being
held is probably correct. II would
seem TO be a total waste OF time and
money to hold convention, the pro.
ceedings of which are all arranged
in advance, but for the sake Of ap.
pearances the forms at Chicago Will
have to be gone through with.
The public interest in the Republi.
can convention will be dampened, for
the eut-and-dried program win be
known and published long before the
delegates ratify the decisions OF the
bosses. Tho G. o. p Is indeed per-
feet machine and runs smoothly II
oiled literally.

Dlstrust Of Republican Prosperity In
Business centers.

Distrust OF Republican Prosperity IN
Business centers.
"A lull In trafic" is the way the
New York Journal OF Commerce heads
the news from Chicago about the rail.
road situation. Western railway men
have been somewhat disappointed at
traffic developments in their terri
tory. They find that business is not
picking mp as rapidly as they had an
ticipated and they are now inclined
to take O rather gloomy view OF the
outlook. says the same newspaper,
and the further information is given
that farmers are resting on their
oars, so to speak, as far as money
matters are concerned, while mer.
chants and manufacturers are ex-
tremely cautious" The largest jon
bing interests report a very small vol.
ume of seasonable business. Collec-
tons are reported easy and money Is
plentiful, but railway traffic seems to
grow no better. An officer of the Chi
cago e. Northwestern railway explains
the situation that farmers have spent
money freely for three or four years
provements they have made for some
time forward. Sentiment for the last
six months has been that hard times
are coming and retrenchment is a uni
versal watchword." Officers Of the
other Western railroads are quoted in
the same vein.
Now with money plentiful and crop
prospects good and improving, why
are the farmers, merchants and man
ufacturers all resting on their oars?"
Can it be that high trust prices have
impoverished them and low trust
prices for cattle and hogs are re-
ducing their income and although
there is plenty of money in the banks,
if the farmer wants any of 1t he will
have to borrow It?
The Democrats cannot be blamed
for this decline of the boom times,
for the Republicans have full control
OF all departments of the government,
their prosperity-breeding protective
tariff has been, and is in full blast,
making the trusts richer and the
poor poorer and keeping the balance
of us on the ragged edge to know
how we are to meet our bills. Secre-
tary Shaw, the financial expert of
this tremendous administration, de-
clares that we we're never so prosper.
Gus and that If we are paying high
prices for nearly everything we buy,
we pay it to ourselves and that ought
to make us rich. Is Providence de-
serting the Republican party and caus-
ing people to believe they are poor,
when we know they are prosperous,
for Secretary Shaw says so? But that
cannut be, for the Republican lead
ers have about all assured us, many
times and often, that Providence is
on their side. Is President Roosevelt
to blame? A good many Republicans
seem to think so.

How the Farmer is Robbed.

Although the farmer does not set
aside portion of his produce and
hand it over directly to the tariff
benefeiaries, he might just as well do
so for all the difference II would
make, in effect He sells his produce
at tixed ppices IN the open markets
of the world. and out Of the money re-
ceived must pay a certain portion to
the nionopolies IN excess Of what their
goods are worth. He is poorer by
just as mueh--is robbed Of just as
much--as would be the case If he
were compelled to set aside part OF
his wheat, corn, oats, hay and other
crops and turn il oysr to the prlqi.
