Some Evidence.

Recently Louis f. Post published
! this editorial in his Journal, the Public:
! We confess to a good deal of sympathy
| with the Chicago Chronicle, n Republican
/ newspaper in its candid protest of the I'd
| against the ingratitude of the Republican
| party in condemning the great financial
corporations for having made political
contributions. "What was it, asks the
| Chronicle 'that pucked US from the dark
despair n which the free silver craze had
plunged us and inaugurated this unheard
of and indescribable prosperity?' The
answer is the frankest we have ever seen
in print. at was the contributions Of
these corporations to the Mckinley cam
paign fund That reads like the answer
/ of an irreverent Bryanite. but 1t is not
1t is the confession of a Republican news
paper organ Nor is this confession a
mere self indulgence 1t is preliminary to
a very serious warning, for the Chronicle
proceeds:
"If the Republican party now insanely
Furnishes those for contributing to cam
pagn funds who have the most at stake
in elections and whose contributions have
often been the salvation of the party In
the past, It can confidently reckon on
some kind OF disaster in the future"
When one reads that excerpt from
the Chronicle the old saying, An open
confession is good for the soul" comes
to mind. The Chronicle speaks no
doubt from inside information when ii
says that the contributions from the
big financial corporations elected Nc
Kinley. That's what Democrats have
always claimed. There Is not a well in
formed, level headed man in America
who does not believe that Bryan would
i. Il
Republicans been restricted TO the
same amount of money which Demo-
Gratis had to spend in that heated and
famous contest. In fact. the Demo
Gratis would have easily won il they
had had one-half, one third or one
fourth the sinews of war possessed by
the Republicans. AS matter of fact
they did not have one-tenth. They had
not half enough to pay the ordinary
expenses of the campaign, the legiti-
mate expenses. the necessary expenses,
such as expenses for literature, halls
to speak IN, hotel bills, etc, for speak
ers. On the other hand the Republican
campaign committee rolled in wealth
and dispensed the Doodle lavishly wher-
ever it appeared that Doodle would
help them. When it was all over-the
cOrruptest campaign ever waged in
this country-it was currently reported
that there was q balance in the Repub-
lican national campaign committees
strong box of over $1.000,000. The
Chronicle renders the country belated
but valuable service by confessing that
the enormous sums contributed to the
Republican campaign fund carried the
country.

, business In congress permits. Mr. Perkins
of New York, for example, declared re"
Gently that the lead trust was making
from S,50O0OO to si0,0OO,OO0 every year out
of the tariff alone, to say nothing OF Its
legitimate pvofts below the tariff margin
Mr.. Perkins is Republican and, unlike
Mr.. Havemeyar. is not yet willing to say
in so many words that "the tariff Is the
mother of trusts" but he did say about
the same thing in this way: But some
times we see monster that looks as II
1t owed it's birth and growth to the tariff
Object lessons like this may not be con-
sidered by the Legislators who are op-
posed to any tariff legislation. but sooner
or later It Is proba BILE they will have their
effect on the people who choose the legis-
lators."
And so they will Even remembering
the length of time many Of the people
have been fooled on the tariff business
and the difficulty of getting some persons
10 understand that high protection is
gigantic graft, 1t Is still evident that the
people are coming to their senses. And
1t Is significant that scarcely day passes
that some Republican in congress does
not take whack at some tariff abuse.
II the Chicago platform of 1904 did noth-
ing else for tariff revision, 1t at least put
the question in order for any Republican
anywhere and at any time to call 1t UP.
And Republicans in congress are begin
ming to take advantage OF the privilege.
1t will be remembered by those who
read these letters that hitherto called
particular attention to the most ex
cellent speeches of Mr.. Rainey, an Illi-
nois Democrat, and of Mr.. Perkins,
New York Republican. One talked on
the evils of the watch trust the other
on the evils of the lead trust, but both
to exploit their speeches, for they are
full of meat. | am glad to welcome
that great newspaper to the ranks of
tariff revision. If it keeps up the gait
at which it is now going we ought to
redeem eight congressional districts in
Missouri and in Kansas.

The Handwriting on the Wall.


1t is coming! What is coming? Tar
If revision, sure as gun is made of
iron. 1t is coming at the hands of the
Republicans or at the hands of Demo
Gratis. but it is cOming-thats the one
thing certain. There are queer and
startling condolences in this world.
For example, just at the time when
Colonel William Peters Hepburn, the
dean of the Iowa house Republicans,
was laundering out il redhOt and 'nev-
er say die" stand pat argument TO his
fellow members the congressional con
vention in the Tenth Iowa district met
to renOminate Representative Conner
which they did That is the Shaw-Dol-
liver district. the home of the genial
senator and of the stand pat secretary
of the treasury The convention in
dorsed Conner and Dolliver, declared
for tariff revision, indorsed Governor
A. b. Cummins, the Republican bette
noir of stand patters, for third term
in the guhernatOrlal chair and refused
to indorse Secretary Shaw! What is
this old world coming to anyway, when
ribbed Republican Hawkeye State? 1t
is simply awful--frOm stand pat view
point. It's the handwriting on the
wall. The stand patters appear no
more able to interpret it than were the
king and his retainers. but it will be
easily interpreted by others. Tariff re-
vision coming? OF course ii is, and all
the stand patters with all their subsl-
dlzed organs cannot stop it any more
than they can stop the tiOw of the
Mississippi.
Now, if the action of that convention
is to be taken as foreshadOwing Of
coming events, it logically makes Coy
ernor Cummins, not Secretary Shaw,
the Iowa Republican candidate for
president--that, too, on tariff revision
platform. Secretary Shaw's close
friends say that the fact that the plat
form committee tabled the Shaw reso-
luton by the decisive vote of o to :
signifies nothing except that some over
enthusiastic Shawite introduced the
resolution out of time and place, bur
nevertheless the further facts that the
lllAlplstl AiOAtIHOI lllIll-
minis and tarff revision stand as incon-
troyertibe. Surely IL the stand pat
element is in the majority in the dis
trIct it would not have permitted such
action as that. No matter how it hap
pened, the moral effect Is in the nature
of body blow to the stand patters.
Query: If Cummins sweeps the state
and dictates a tariff revision platform
on which TO make his third race for
governor. what Will Colonel William
Peters Hepburn, Major John f. Lacey.
Colonel John 4. A. Hull and the rest of
the stand pat candidates for congress
do, poor things? IT will be one of the
most bewidering mixups In current
politics TO see those gentlemen whoop-
ing IL up for Cummins aud tariff re-
vision In order to save their congress
sional bacon. Still things just as
strange have happened
II will be remembered that had
much trouble not long ago In forcing |
Major Lacey to admit on the floor OF !
the house that Governor Cummlns Is

| HTA lie great and startling speech of
Hon. Henry 4. Rainey delivered
recently in the house on the
watch trust was like a bomb
shell among the stand pat brethren and
created Il great cOmmoton among
them. They laid their heads together
and concluded that something must he
done and done ut the earliest oppor-
tunity. What they did was to send TO
the front Colonel William Peters Hep
burn of Iowa, their strongest debater;
Hon. Henry Sherman Boutell of IL
linois, their most classical orator, and
Hon Francis w Cushman of Wash
ington, their NEST entertaining humor-
ist, who by reason of his personal APP
pearance and his wealth of humor. has
been dubbed 1.-The Abraham Lincoln of
the Pacific slope" This illustrious trio
jumped on Rainey with both feet, or,
more properly speaking, with six feet;
but when they were through Rainey

entertaining speeches-merely that and
nothing more. In fact, the Washing
ton papers declare that Messrs. Rainey

Hepburn to covert. notable achieve
ment, most assuredly.
In response to Messrs. Hepburn and
Boutell, Hon. John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi, the minority leader, deliv-
cred a four hours speech which did not
leave the stand patters leg to stand
on. He rammed it chOck full of facts.

facts which no man in his senses or
with any self respect will dispute.
facts whch prove beyond all contro-
versy that the Dingley tariff law en-
ables American manufacturers per-
sistently and constantly to sell Amer
lean products in foreign countries
cheaper than they sell similar articles
TO Americans here at home.
The American people may like that
sort of scheme, but it is n thing in
credible. They may indorse it, but the
signs of the times indicate that they
will not do So 1t may possibly be
that Ephram will ut last be divorced

A Stronq Candidate.

The Democrats Of Kansas did a wise
thing ia nominating Hon. William A.
Harris for governor. He is Il clean
man, a capable man. Having served
Kansas with distinction in both branch
es of the Legislature and in both houses
of congress, he is well and favorably
known to her citizens and to the coun-
try at large. While born in Virginia,
he once lived in my congressional dis
trict. His father was member of
congress from Virginia and minister to
one of the South American states. In
his latter years he. 100, lived in my dis
trict. so naturally take much interest
in the Kansan candidate for governor
and most sincerely hope that he will be
elected. On the ticket with him as
candidate for attorney general is Hon.
David Overmeyer. one of the finest
lawyers and most brilliant speakers in
America.

Republican Harmony-spelled with a
big H-was clearly illustrated at the
meeting OF Missouri Republican league
clubs held in st. Louis April 20, where
and when the Nledrlnghaus faction
passed resolutions censurlng the Ke-
rens faction. The fracas became so fla
grant that each faction appealed to the
police. One poor Kerenite, not securing
a hearing, spoke his little piece to the
stenographer, hoping by that means to
reach the public, but the Niedrlnghaus-
ers would not permit him even that
poor consolation and promptly erased
his speech, and he. like Lord Ullin on
a mournfully celebrated occasion, was
left lamenting." Harmony by means
OF a pollceman's billy is the brand
prevalent among Missouri Republicans.

Mr.. Speaker Cannon says that the
presidency is not to be had by the sim
pie eXpediency of going out after it.
Perhaps Uncle Joe is correct, but there
are several eminent statesmen who beg
leave to differ. For instance, William
Jennings Bryan, William Randolph
Hearst, Leslie NJ. Shaw, Charles War
ren Fairbanks and perhaps others do
not concur with the speaker. Some
statesman OF the olden time put Uncle
Joe's idea in these words: "The presi-
dency is TO be neither sought NOR de-
cllned." Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
believed in the latter half of that SEN
tence, but not in the first half. That
he sought 1t there can be no question.

boldly pitch his castor into the ring and
give the boys run for their lives. He
would make things hum.

ARE WE TOO PROSPEROUS?

In the opinion of many men of
deep thought this country OF ours is
entirely too prosperous. That is an
anomaly among nations. but in some
respects it may be true. For example.
1t is argued that the prices of many
stocks are entirely too high. 1t is ar
gued that decline would be bene-
hcial. This is vigorously combatted.
as a matter OF course, by those whom
high prices directly benefit. In their
opinion we cannot have too much OF
a good thing. But possibly we can.
AT any rate we cannot with justice
complain for lack of activity, and
might proceed TO slacken the pace a
little. Apd particularly we should
lop good deal off the selling price
OF products. Most OF them are far
too high.-Wheeling Telegraph.
