sued the bonds on the plates prepared
by H%arrson's secretary Of the treasury.
What a howl, then went up from repub-
icans throats. A bond issue in tie time
OF profound peace was an outrage upon
the people and sure evidence of demo-
cratic incompetency to manage the az
fairs OF the government.
But how times change! After being
in undIsturbed possession OF the govern
ment sincs 1897, a period OF rich gold
discoveries and bounteous crops, the
republican party is issuing $3.50, 900 600
OF interest bearing indebtedness that
the people must pay to carry the couu-
try through a panic that the wicked and
incompetent democrats had no hand in
bringing about. liz the panic Of 1853
was caused by democratic Incompetence,

sent panic?

FRUIT OF REPUBLICAN POLICY.

In 1892, under II democratic admins.
~tratiop, the expenditures OF tho federal
government amounted to sllj,953, 92G.
In 1906, the expenditures amounted to
s73G, III ,583, nm iDcreaso Of S:}2O, 763, 759.
This il an increase Of more than 10 per
cont. Where it cost the taxpayers a
dollar in 1892, it now costa them sl.70
to vi the government. In 1892, the
total cost Of the federal government pei
capita wac &C 30; while in 1906 1t was
more than 1875, an increase Of more
than 1896 per capita.
THIS entuiled MI averrge increase Of
more than gil. 80 in the annual xpeDs
OF every family OF five persons. But
this Ia not tho worst. This extravsRnDt
increase u expenditures has necessitat-
tile maintenance OF Of II tariff tax eys-
TEN which has bred trusts like yermin,
and these truste. having u monopoly Of
tho home market, have raised prices
here while lowering them abroad. So
that il costs every person, on an Y

In 1892, exclusive OF the ell so c%Ontribut.
ed to public expenses; making s3l so
per capita more now than in 1892; or
1853 moro for every family OF five per.
sons. Ever since December, 1906, there
has been, Rs q result OF this wretohed
policy a succession OF spasms IN Wall

aM".
But a few years ago the cost OF federal
government was s4.50 per capita annu-
ally. Today it is $3.50 per capita and
constantly increasing. Not content
with unnecessarily burdenlng the people
through extravaganza in administration,
this republican party sustains an unjust
and inequitable tariff law which depletes
the peoples pockets and piles their
money where they are unable to get
at 1t.
\ few days ago the secretary OF the
reasury rushed to the scene Of financial
disaster and conferred "a great benefit
upon the people. lIowP By lending
the financial institutions about one-
quarter Of the sl0O, O0r 600 which has
been taken from the people during the
past fourteen months.

The shibboleth Of the republican party.
The real experience OF the people under
republican high protective tariff laws
mas been protectiu, and panic.
The commercial depression of 1879
was due directly to the policies oi the
republican party.
The crisis OF lS93-J7 broke upon the
country with the Mckinley high tariff
law in full force and seventt ell months
before Tie enactment Of the Wilson
bill.

THE EMANCIPATION OF NEVADA

The government has a thousand farms
water laid on and ready Tor irrigation.
The second unit Of the Truckee-Carson
project has been com pleted and the
price of the farms moderate. The home.
for IS, with the obligation 10 pay 81 an
acre annually for ten years. An irrigat-
ed farm for so an acre is not expensive.
The altitude is about I,CC0 feet, The
climate is mild and the land fertile.
The government bias already expended
some s3 GOO 900 in the Carson sink upon
the constr uction Of an elaborate system
OF canals and ~laterals to cover zoe, goo
acres Of land. All this means settle
ment aud IA large increase Of population.
Tho great development OF the southern
Nevada mines provides u ready market
for the farmers produce. Ultimately the
project will cover AGO, 600 acres and the
cost OF the whole system will be 5000,
900.
Nevada is the first State TO profit by
the federal irrigation enterprise. New
" are growing up i'll the irrigated
district. Three years ago the town OF
Fallon had three houses. Already it has
a population Of some l,5On, with a high
school, hotel, churches and ne wspap,r r..
The truth is that Nevada has just be-
gun To grow. The mines we all know
about, bnt the agricultural potentialiti-
es OF the State have attracted little at
tcntioD. No man Ii so independent rs the
owner Of an irriganed farm. The Weiss
ltudes OF the Seasons trouble him little.
All this means that Nevada is no
longer Il pocket borough, whose poll
tics il a matter Of bargain and sale to
the highest bidder. Partly by mining
development and partly by the recla.

In MONOPOLY'S GRIP

The enormous value OF competition as
a national asset is not generally under
stood. But as to one Of business, it
may be realized when we consider care
fully the following statement OF the
New York Jour nal OF Commerce:
-The only force powerful enough to
induce the prompt adoption of improve
ments, and to inspire enterprise and
ingenuity, is competition"
This sage and indisputable proposition
has reference to railroad railmaklng. II
Is n question, not OF economics merely
but OF life and death. Better rails must
be had. For the last fiscal year, lO, GlS
persons were killed, 81, 7O6 injured by
reason of railroad accidents due mainly
to defective rails produced by the tariff
protected Steel trust and it's subsidiaries.
The economic results attending this
wholesale slaughter have never been
calculated. They are incalcula5Ie. And
both the slaughter and the property and
business Losses are due to what? TO
the parsimoDy and greed OF n tariff
protected monopoly The Journal OF
Commerce Gays:
Subsidiary companies Of the United
States Steel corporation nave mad so
nearly d monopoly of rail making as
practically to control both the quality
and the prices Of the product for the
country, and it's vast equipment does
not seem to be adapted to Improving the
quality without radical und costly
changes. In the last few years the rail-
roads have been increasing the capacity
and the weight and the power OF their
rolling stock to handle tho growing
traffic with rs much economy rs posi-
BILE, and this has been putting a heavy
strnn upon the tracke. At the same
time the demand for new rails has been
such rs to stimulate the steel mills TO
rapid work to keep up with their orders,
and this has not been favorable b care
fol manufacture. So muny OF the multi
plying accidents have been attributed
to defective rails that the railroads. have
been driven TO insist upon I'm improved
type OF rails and a better quality OF steel
in their production
But how are we to get better rails so
long as monopoly, weighed down with
antiquated plants, controls the situa.
ton? And how can We expect improve
ments in other lines OF production?
Tho s:nnd-patters and their presidents
will have to answer for this shocking
reactioDary tendency OF tariff laws.
They will cry prosperity, prosperity"
But what If prosperity to tie dead
victims OF trnst greed, o.; to the people
at large who have no share in it?

Tint Theodore Roosevelt, President

gogue OF his time, is engaged in a

ness prosperity OF the nation is a fact
whlch Is patent to all Intelligent Oh
servers. That the recent financial panic
vas due to his remorseless assaults on
private property, every business man
who can distinguish the workings Of
cause and effect Is already aware.

wicked and predatory trusts, Mr..

no attack ON any Legitimate business,
that his polio! threatens only the evil
doors, .he remurseless and conscience
less %magnaies who would divert all the
wealth Of the nation, through illegal
means, into tn, ir private purses.
How readily a lie is often converted
into the semblanc sc Of truth! Mr.. Rouse-
welt does manage to convey The impress
sion by meaLs OF his hypnotic art that
he ID a greater ST. George, staying a
the cold bare facts, what does he find?
He finds TINT Mr. Roosevelt is making
war on private capital only; that III no
instance has he ever tried To iujure the
real predatory trusts Of the nation.
Every trust that was doing buiness
when MIR. Roosevelt became prezlden; liz
doing business today. And nest OF
them are dong n much larger business

Roosevelt really wanted to extract the
fange OF the trusts from the public flesh
he would recommend the abolition OF
the tariff duties from all trusi-made
articles. That he makes no such rec.
~ommendation cOnvicts him either OF
ignorance or %insincerity, aud he and lis
friends can choose whichever horn OF

Mr.. Roosevelt has not moved d fin.
ger to remove one oppressive condition
