ROWlEY SHEEP SOLD.
Cattle Market Stronger Every Day
Demand for Western Feeders.

Stellar features of the weeks trade
were an evident and growing scarcity
of good to choice corn fed beeves and
a steady enlargement of demand for
western cattle. Beef outlet channels
are no longer clogged, trade has re.
sumed normal conditions. and with
the season of heavy meat consumption
close at hand the cattle growers hor

Not the Only Important Question.

Admitting that the gold standard Is
"~rrevocably fixed" as Judge Parker
says, though he did not help fix 1t,
that is the only one Of many i'm
portant financial questions that may
come up in relation TO financial mat
tiers. The question of the preserva-
ton and extension of our system Of
banking and currency; the refunding
Of our national debt as 1t may, from
time to time, become due, and many
other questions Of like Importance
may arise. To place the settlement Of
these questions in unfriendly hands
might result in such a disturbance Of
business as would shock the whole
country.

AWKWARD QUESTIONS
Democrats Object 10 Answering Financial
l~nteriogatories.

lnteriogatories.
When the gold" message of Alton
b. Parker reached the Democratic
convention at st. Louis William J..
Bryan suggested that the currency
views of Mr.. Parker ought to be more
explicitly defined in some detail, and
that the convention therefore should
prepare a list of questions connected
with the various phrases of the cur
rency issue for the candidate to an
swer, but Master of Ceremonies VIII
liams rushed to Parker's defense with
the statement thatthe candidate should
not be asked "A LOT OF FOOLISH
QUESTIONS"
This was the snme public be
ID attitude that arrogant corpOr-
atoms used TO take in refusing to an
swer questions of pertinent interest
to their stockholders or TO the gem
eral public, until the Republican party
remedicd matters by passing a law
compelling publicity, and especially es-
t9blished the bureau of commerce and
labor To secure it.
Mr.. Bryan, all the Democrats in the
convention ut st. Louis, and in fact
all American voters Of whatever po-
litical belief, had a perfect right 10
expect detailed and explicit publicity
from Candidate Parker Of his views
on governmental financial policies, so
that they could know whether or rot,
or to what extent his views were their
views. But this publicity was denied
them, because the managers Of the
convention deemed il Of more i'm
portance to protect their candidate
from questions which he would not
want to answer for fear of making
a break" than to protect the voters
Of the country from possible misun-
Outstanding as to financial views which
might not bear the limelight of public
discussion.
The managers Of a corporation con.
Quoted on unsound lines are always
apt to consider MS foolish questions.
which, if answered, might result in
an expose. And ii is the same way
with the Democratic managers, who
think their only safe policy On the
currency question is to refuse to give
information as to what their policy
really is.

Republican vs.. Democratic Policy.

Organization does much to maintain
the wages of labor. but organization
OF -wage-earners does not provide con-
sumers. Consumption of coal is al
ways greatest when mills and faoto-
ries are running full time. 1t is the
policy of the Republican party to pro-
tect all industries by wise and benefi-
cent laws, while it has been the pol
icy of the Democratic party, as evil
denced by the last Cleveland admins
tration, to provide as much work as
possible for the artisans of other coun-
tries by removing the protection the
tariff affords American %workingmen.

Already in the presidential campaign
OF this year the Democrats are fight
ing n "rearguard action" The Rus

actions for some time, but his condi-
ton Is good as compared with the con
dition OF the present leaders of the
Democratic party.

BILE the Republicans have in the pre-

1t is announced. with a flourish Of

was i'm President Cleveland's cabinet,
has visited Judge Parker, spending
two hours with him at Rosemount.
