Our Pacific Failure.

The Republican boast that the Pa
cifc ocean was to be annexed" and
dominated by the United States seems
doomed to failure. Instead of gaining
power on the Pacific We are losing il
as far as ships and commerce are con
cerned and our friends, the Japanese
are fact outstripping us. AS long az
our Anticipated navigation laws and
our high tariff to prohibit trade is al
lowed to remain on the statute books
we can expect nothing different. Our
trade on the Atlantic is
nearly all in the hands of foreigners
and is great in spite of the trade obsta.
cles We have SO foolishly placed in its
path. With free ships and free men
and anyone allowed to buy ships where
he could get them the cheapest and
the tariff reformed so as to encourage
trade, we would Don resume u old
supremacy On both the oceans as it
was when the Democrats were run.
ming this government and u flag was
seen on every sea.

Fictitious Stocks and Bonds.

The old story of locking the stable
door after the horse has been stolen,
is to be applied to the issue of fraudu-
lent stocks and bonds Of railroads, If
the Washington Post has been rightly
informed. The president realizes"
says that journal, that nothing can
be done now to correct the evil
wrought by past issues of watered
stock, but he will urge congress next
winter to pass a law which will en-
able the government to scrutinize flu
ture issues" 1t is a very serious mat
ter for the people if the president has
arrived at that conclusion, for it will
entail upon the public the payment of
continued unreasonable rates If divi-
dends are to be paid on these fictitious
stocks and bonds. Such will hardly be
considered a just settlement of the
railroad rate issue and will force to
the front the more equitable plan of
finding out just what it will cost to re-
place the railroads and then confi1e
their charges to what will pay reason
able interest on that replacement
value. The stable door should, of
course, be locked and the key given to
the interstate commerce commission
to prevent any more of the peoples
horses being stolen, for no stocks
or bonds must be issued, the proceeds
of which are not actually necessary
and for which full value has not been
received.

POLITICS.
Curious Inconsistency Of Leaders q
National Grange.

An interview sent out from Concord.
New Hampshire, in which N. j. Bach
elder, Master of the National Grange
gives the credit to that organization
for the defeat of the ship subsidy bill.
There is no doubt the members OF the
Grange in most states are entitled to
credit for their opposition to sub
sides, but in electing representatives
in congress and members of the legis-
latures, who elect United States senar
tors, their votes do not appear to have
counted. All the members OF con-
gress from New Hampshire voted for
s~hip-subs:dy and either Gov. Bacheld'
er and the Grange must have very lit
tie influence in the politics OF that
state or their Republican partisanship
must have closed their eyes to the
trust and corporation p%ropensities OF
the candidates they elected.
1t is rather a singular fact that In
those states where the Grange is
strongest, the vote of the congress-
men representing them was almost
unanimous for s~hip-subsidy. For in.
stance, all the congressional delega-
ton present from Maine voted for
subsidy, all but one from Massachu-
sets; all from Washington; all from
Pennsylvania and all but one from
New York, and these states are the
strongholds of the Grange.
The trouble with the Grange is 1t
q, r,,, NV rot ne DDo,I1;no- na1ifi-
clans and has therefore become a par
tisan adjunct of the Republican party,
who pretend to be ~non-partisan and
as the subsidy bill was championed
by the administration and was a par
ty measure, those members of con-
gress who represented districts where
the Grange is a powerful influence
amongst the farmers, voted with their
party instead OF for the interest OF
the farmers. There is nothing sur
prising in this for Republican politi.
clans usually do it especially when
the special interest is offering to put
up money for election and other ex
penses, as the subsidy managers did.
How different was the attitude Of
congressman from those states where
those other farmer organizations, the
Society of Equity and the Farmers
Union are strong and influential.
From Illinois eight Republican con-
gressmen voted against the subsidy
Dill; from Indiana four; from Kansas
three; from Michigan three; from
Minnesota four; from Nebraska three;
from North Dakota two; from Ohio
four; and from Wisconsin five.
All the southwestern and southern
states where the Farmers Unions are
most numerous voted solidly against
the subsidy bill. How can Gov. Bach
elder and the Grange leaders explain
their inability to influence their repre-
sentatives in congress to vote for
what they declare they stand for?

How the People Are Robbed.

Secretary Cortelyou is following the
policy Of Secretary Shaw in favoring
the frenzied 1inanciers of Wall street,
for he has extended the time inde1'
nitely for the repayment to the treas
ury of the $50, coo, 0e0 which the banks
had agreed to repay in February and
March. AS the banks do not pay any
interest on that amount, or on the bal.
ance of the $3.50. 600, 600 loaned them
by the government on the same condi'
lions, it will be een they are already
a good deal more than even or their
contributions to the Republican can

Republican Promises,

In 1880 with the fear of the PEG.
pie drilled into them by the election
of a Democratic congress the Repub-
lican party in its national platform de-
clared that: Further subsidies to
private persons or corporations must
cease" That acknowledgement of
having granted subsidies to persons
or corporations and promising to dis.
continue such plundering of the PEG.
pie did not deter the party from four
years later entering on the plan OF
ship subsidy and attempting to carry
it out. In 1880 the scare of the Tilden
campaign had made the Republican
politicians careful of the interests of
the people and the election of a Dem,
ocratic president in 1884 showed their
fears were well founded. But after
1896, with the trusts and combines
still filling the campaign chest, az
they had already done in that cam
paign of corruption, all their fears
were banished and the policy of a ship
subsidy was used as a further incen'
tive for more campaign funds. But
thanks to the Democrats and a few
honest Republicans, the dream of MALI
ing the people pay a subsidy to the
ship owners is still a Pigment Of the
brains that conceived it.

The weekly papers of Mississippi are
making a loyal fight for the home mer-
