Political PRINCIPLES.

While men do not always live up to
their principles, it is well to have prin-
ciples. No man could wish to be
truthfully denounced as unprincipled.
The most important principles are po-
litical. These are the principles of a
Overwhelmingly, freedom of the
press, of conscience and of speech,
equality of all citizens before the law,
the right of trial by jury, freedom of
the person defended by the writ of
habeas corpus, the supremacy Of the
civil over the military authority, the
separation of church and state, low
taxes, a tariff for revenue only, econ
omy in public expenditures, fidelity to
treaties, a faithful execution of the
laws, absolute acquiescence in the will
OF the majority, reverence for the con-
stitution and a fair division of the
joint products of labor and capital. the
rights Of labor as sacred and as in
alienable as those Of life or property.
If you believe in these principles, you
are at heart Il Democrat and should be
willing to see tlvse principles carried
into effect by the election Of those hon
est and able enough to enforce them.

BLEEDING THE TRUSTS.

Gigantic Scheme to Make Corpora
ton Maenates Come Down.
Postmaster General Cortelyou. who
Is also chairman Of the Republican ma
tional committee, is now said to be
slated for secretary Of the treasury.
He has previously been secretary Of
commerce and labor, the department
especially supposed to investigate the
trusts and corporations. This being a
reform administration, of course there
could have been no purpose Of secretly
investigating the trusts with a view
Of bleeding them of some of their
plumber for the Republican campaign
fund under threat Of publicity or penal
prosecution. Still we know that. with
all the facts in his possession, Mr.. Cor
telyou in 1904 did make the corpora
lions "come down." especially the life
insurance companies. Having now aft
er two years had every opportunity of
obtaining all the information about the
secret graft Of railroads and others in
the postal service. Mr.. Cortelyou will
be better than EVER prepared to threat
en- the trust and corporation magnates
and make them "come down" to fill
the ever open nav of the Republican
campaign fund.
What could be more natural from the
Republican machine point of view, Mr..
Cortelyou having been slated for the
position of secretary Of the treasury,
than that the frenZied fnanciers Of
Wall street should be anxious and will
ing to donate literally to the Repub-
lican campaign fund if assured by the
future secretary of the treasury that
the Shaw policy would be continued?
No other administration has ever so
boldly mixed up the public business
with it's partisan political machine op-
erations as to combine a member OF
the cabinet and the chairman Of the
national campaign committee in one
person. Even Hanna and Quay would
have baked at such a VIGOROUSLY unfit
and unpopular proposition, but this adj
mInistration. which would be known as
reformers Of the clean and safe and
sane stripe, are thus openly defying
public opinion and in evidence brought
out in the life insurance scandal were
nroyed to be secret b~lackmailcrs OF cor
Dorations whose trust funds they d.
verified from the widows and orphans
Of policy holders, to whom the money
rightly belonged, and no restitution mas
been made.

Republican Extravagance.

II the enormous taxation of the peo-
pie of the United States was collected
as a direct tax instead Of indirectly
through the tariff there would be Il
revolution against the protective sys-
tenn of taxation. For the present fiscal
year the taxes collected by the federal
government are yer $40 per capita,
which means that the average family
of five persons pays over $50. The
poor pay as much as the rich, and the
amount is constantly increasing. Dur
ing the last ten years the expenditures
have doubled, and Of course the taxa
ton has increased at the same ratio.
For 1907 congress has already appro-
priated nearly $3.50. 600, 900, and that
vast amount will be increased before
June 80, 1907. Is 1t not time for the
people who pay the taxes to demand
that extravaganza shall cease?

CAUTIOUS WORDS.
Mr.. Wilson States the Laws Para.
phernaiin For Trust Busting,

phernaitn For Trust Busting,
Farmer Wilson, who hangs on to the
position of secretary of agriculture
with the vigor of a professional Re-
publican ~of1iceholder in spite OF scan
dals and semiscandals in his depart
ment. gave out a statement on Oct. %
about the proposed meat merger that
shows he is growing cautious with age.
He said:
we have a bureau of corporations
whose agents are especially charged
with looking into matters OF this kind.
I'VE have a department Of justice
whose machinery was designed to be
used in just such a cas- as this.
I'VE have our own attorneys general
to talk to grand juries.
1--WE have grand juries to listen and
to indict.
1--WE have petit juries.
And we have penitentiaries."
1t is true there is a bureau Of cor
porations," but the public has been
kept absolutely in the dark about what
1t has discovered about the trusts. eX-
cept upon that notable occasion when
1t gave publicity to the business of the
beef packers. That report did not
give promise of great results in it's in
vestigation Of other corporations, and
the absurdity Of the result arrived at
seemed to discourage the bureau and
President Roosevelt from giving fur
Their publicity to trust doings.
1t Is true I'VE have a department of
justice" but the results so far achiev-
ed by the great array Of lawyers en-
ployed there have not electrified the
country by getting even one guilty
trust magnate in stripes.
1t Is true 1--WE have our own ATTORNEYS
general to talk to grand juries," but
perhaps such efforts would have been
more effective if addressed to petit
5uries and in urging the court to en-
force the provision for Imprisonment Of
the guilty trust and corporation man
ayers instead Of fning a soulless cor
p%oration, which has evidently no effect
In hindering crime.
1t Is true 1--WE have grand juries to
ASISu duu lIuICl, duu we nave poLlI
juries," but with all this parapherna-
liza Of the law the results have been
meager and unproductive, and no trust
or combine or corporation has reduced
its e%xorbitant prices or ceased from
plundering the people.
It is true I'VE have penitentiaries,"
but so far there Is no trust magnate,
however vicious, or no corporation
manager, however strong the evidence
against him, that is confined in those
penal institutions as a punishment for
breaking the statute in such case made
and provided.
It Is true this strenuous administra-
ton has boosted of doing things" but
it has been like the idle vaporings Of
other boasters-but words, words, and
not followed by deeds. Under these
circumstances it is hardly likely that
the oscillating doors of the p~enitentiary
will cause this new candidate for trust
honors and illegal gain to fear what
the present administration will do to it.

LIQUOR DEALERS
SUPPORTING RING
Pledge Their Aid to the Republican Ticket and Enter
With Zeal Into the Scheme to Make Frank A.
Matthews Chairman of the Board of Police Com
missOners as Against Col Harold }. Gross

'The retail liquor dealers are working
hard for a change in the police commis-
sion, and want Frank A. Matthews for
chairman"
This positive declaration was made to-
day by an alderman who said he had
been approached on the subject, but had
refused 10 commit himself
1t was also learned that the retail liquor
dealers Of this city had decided almost
unanimously TO support the entire Repub-
ncan ticket
There were a few defections, some Of
the members who believe In law enforce
ment declaring positively that they would
vote for Higgins and Mccarthy: but the
vote OF the association, IL is declared. still
stands for the whole machine Republican
ticket. whatever the dealers may do as in
dividuals.
1T will be impossible for the association
20 carry out It's promise regardless OF any
pressure that may have been brought to
bear upon II TO take that attitude" de-
clared one OF the dealers today.
II know personally that they prefer
Higgins politically 10 Utter for other than
business reasons. and Mccarthy to Lippitt
likewise. and that no amount OF pressure
from Boss Brayton's machine Is likely to
turn those who are genuine Democrats or
personal tilenus OF DenlOcIdllC cdhuluat's
into puppets Of the machine
Since the announcement that six alder
men, or candidates for the board, are said
20 have been pledged 10 make Matthews
commissioner TO succeed Col Gross, there
has been a scurrying around OF the plot
ters. and considerable activity among the
aldermanic candidates.
One OF them has come out openly for
Gross. according 10 street talk though he
has little show OF election, as the good
government forces are expected TO cap
ture his ward and put In a man who.
unlike Gov. Utter. does not repent at the
ninth hour.

where they can pass upon the qualifica-

The organ says: THE results OF the
voting for aldermen and councilmen can
be infallibly forecasted at practically
every point"
eut the organ may see its prediction
upset by the voters.
Il have always said" said Sam II. Bul
lock, who served very aCceptdbly some
years ago as police commissioner" that
the appointment .of police commissioners
and all other commissioners should rest
in the hands OF th mayor, who is re-
spoLsible TO ali tho people, without the
Endorsement or approval of the board Of
aldermen.
"fhe remedy for those who want a
clean administration is TO elect to the
city council. TO the aldermanic board In
sarticular men who are not subject 70

The local campaign is OF as much Inn
