Corporations.

When we come to deal with great
corporations the need for the govern
ment to act directly Is far greater than
in the case of labor, because great cor
porations can become such only by ell
gaglng in interstate commerce, and In
terstate commerce Is peculiarly the
field of the general government. 1t Is
an absurdity to expect to eliminate the
abuses In great corporations by state
action. 1t is difficult to be patient with
an argument that such matters should
be left to the states. because more than
one state pursues the policy of Great
Ing on easy terms corporations which
are never operated within that state
ut ALL but in other states whose laws
they ignore. The national government
alone can deal adequately with these
great corporations To try to deal
with them in an incorporate, dcstruc.
tive or demagogc spirit would in all
probability mean that nothing what.
ever would be accomplished, and with
absolute certainty that if anything
were accomplished 1t would be Of
harmful nature. Tie American PEG.

Foreign Policy

The steady aim Of TIN, nation, rs of
all enlightened nations. should be Ia
striye to bring ever nearer the day
when there snail prevail throughout
the world the peace OF Justice, but
there are kinks If peace which are
highly undesirable. which are i'm The
long run as destructive as any war.
The goal to SET before us as nation,
the goal which should be set before all
mankind, is tine attainment of the
peace of justice, Of the peace which
comes when each nation Is not merely
safeguarded In lis own rights, but
scrupulously recognizes and performs
its duty toward others. Generally
peace tells for righteousness but II
there Is conflict between the two then
our fealty Is due first To the cause of
righteousness. t'nrighteous wars are
common and unrighteous peace is rare,
but both should be Stunned. The
right Of freedom and the responsibility
for the exercise of that right cannot be
divorced. One of our great poets has
well and finely said that freedom Is not
a gift that tarries long in the hands of
towards. Neither does It tarry long IN
the hands of those too slothful, too dis
honest or too unintelligent to exercise
1t. The eternal vigilance which Is the
price Of liberty must be exercised
sometimes to guard against outside
foes, although. Of course, far more Of
ten to guard against our own selfish or
thoughtless shortcomings.
1t Is our duty to remember that ma
ton has no more right TO do injustice
TO another nation. strong or weak, than
an individual has to do injustice to an

THEY WANT NEVADA.

The Reno Gazette publishes a
special dispatch, sent from New
York to the Pacific Coast, which
says:
Believing that the Borough
of Nevada can be purchased
outright for coin, much in the
same fashion as Scholarships
have been purchased in that
State. Democratic leaders in
charge Of the fund raised to elect
Parker are planning to send an
immense corruption fund into
that State.
According to Democratic fig
ures, Democrats, even though
they carry New York and New
Jersey, must carry number OF
silver States, where Roosevelt
is immensely popular, because
of his well known Western ideas
and his thorough sympathy with
irrigation and other projects for
developing that region.
The facts connected with the
gross corruption practiced in
Reno, especially two years ago,
when the Senatorial election was
at stake, have been made known
TO Democratic leaders, and they
believe that the only feasible
plan IS to pursue the same tao
tics, and to appeal to the power
ful gambling interests of Washoe
county, where a large percentage
of the entire vote OF the State is
polled.
Representations have beer
made to Hill, Belmont and others
that this is the only way to beat
Roosevelt, and even this method
gives only a bare fighting chance
Nevada's three electoral votes
are precious, however, and Dem
ocratic leaders of the Parker
purity campaign do not intend tC
let any chances slip, especially
where such u tri1ing thing as
az money may accomplish the de-
sired results

HOW ABOUT IT.

There is going to be all man
ners Of fua in White Pine county
when our Democratic brethren
begin to talk from the stump
and shout through this section
Of Nevada ON national affairs.
They won't have much to say
about the income tax, nor will
they tell US that it is the most
righteous tax in the world.
Neither will they say much
about banks, because Belmont is
to contribute literally to the
sinews Of war. And then on the
question Of soulless corporations
they will be mute, as Davis has
Z. few millions, and they want
more fighting funds. When it
comes to a question of trusts,
they know that the trusts are
all fighting Roosevelt, and there
will be considerable shyness on
that subject. AS for the tariff,
what will become of their sup
porters among the sheep men
and the miners if they dare at
tack that stronghold of the
American laborer.
Ifthey denounce government
by injunction, some one may ask
them what Cleveland did at the
time of the Chicago riots.
But the shipping bill might be
their trump card, as they know
nothing about it themselves, and
as there is no navy on Lake Ar
gus, they will probably antici
pate that the intelligent voters
OF this county may be as obtuse
as themselves on that point.
There is a peck Of trouble
brewing for the Democrats this
year, and with two factions OF
that party shouting against each
other in this county, things look
pleasant for the Republicans.

SLOW GETTING up STEAM.

It will take the Democrats
many moons yet to get their
shouting clothes on. The fact
stares them in the face that their
candidate for Vice-President is
pretty near as much of a hog in
the money line as Rockefeller,
though he does not own a Sun
day School and has not yet
parted with any Of his money
for educational purposes, but
that he is, so far as he has been
able to make himself, another
Rockefeller.
Yet the power that nominated
Davis had first nominated Park

er and Davis are in accord with
each other. The horrible diff

A PLEASANT DUTY.

I've JuU1lSoAAom 40 q tASoAt
subject to talk on, under the
present conditions Of the two
parties. With the brilliant record
made by the Republican party
il the past, with the future SC
filed with q promise of increased
majesty and power, who cannot
but feel that IL is the one party
for those whom we call the wage
Garner. You will hear their OBJ
ponents harp on their one all
absorbing hobby-the tariff
and tell you how you suffer, but
their howl is easily answered,
because when it has been stricken
down, depression and panic and
suffering, unspeakable to labor
ing men, have followed.
Go back to 1857, to 1e4s, to
1857, and the threat of it, with
the breaking Of faith as set forth
in the Democratic platform OF
1892, absolutely Frustrated bust
ness and swept with ruin the
country in 1898. Because Of the
tariff today millions Of skilled
and unskilled laborers in oui
country are receiving more gen.
erous wages than laboring men
ever before received in acy
country since the beginning o.
time.
In the State Ct Nevada the
tariff makes the sheep and cattle
business profitable. It makes a
profit for the ores taken from
our mines, and touches with life
numerous other industries, and
still prices to consumers are
lower than ever they were before
the tariff was levied. II is the
impregnable fort behind which
the American artisan stands, end
it excludes the products Of
European and Asiatic labor.
r Under free trade, in 1850,
when mighty depression had
paralyzed the industries of the
country and reduced the credit
of the nation to the level Of that
of Egypt and Turkey, o tariff
was laid which made the country
prosperous even under the
mighty war Of the next four
years. And yet the Democratic
party would seek to throw the
country into financial ruin sim
ply to crafty their greed for
power. They are. even willing
themselves to sink with the
grand old ship they are trying
so hard to scuttle. It is the last
despairing yelp OF a party who
has tried all the subterfuges OF
tricky leaders to gain the Presi-
dental chair, but the tariff rises
UP before then at each attempt,
and down they 60 to defeat.
T. will ever be so.

The New Richmond Roller Mills
of New Richmond, Wis, is one of
the few mills that have not had a
big fire, that withstood the power of
the cyclone, and that never passed
through a receivers hands. 1t is a
full roller mill, lately remodelled to
the best type of sieve boiling, grad
ing and grinding under the univers-
al system, which is known to pre-
serve in it's best form that which is
good in wheat. 1t is one of the few
mills that is moved by electric cur
rent from distant waterfall in con-
nection with the local waterpower.
The daily output is approximately
700 bbls. Samples of this flour are
sent to experts in Minneapolis twice
week and the reports show that
flour made in these mills ranks with
the best in Minneapolis. Nothing but
hard wheat is used in the manufac-
ture of these f1ours. VICTORY is the
brand of the first patent. SHAKES
PERE is the brand of the straight
grade. A new feature of the mill
ing industry found at New Rich
mond is found in the shape of a
washer. After the wheat is cleaned
with all the modern machinery, it is
put through the washer and all
soluable foreign matter removed so
that the flour is uniformly perfect in
color. Remember the brands:
VICTORY
SHAKESPEARE.
w. H. Putnam is local distributor
of the brands of -four, Victory and
SHAKESPEARE.
