The shocking disclosures Of the last
three years make it quite certain that
there has existed for a long time
conspiracy among a few allied kings
Of money, making their headquarters
IN and about New York, 10 control the
operations Of both parties.
Throughout the long battle for a
tariff for revenue only there contin-
ually appeared. always at the critical
moment in Democratic councils. a
mysterious presence in obstruction.
Now it was Randall; now II was
Barnum; now it was Whitney; and
finally, it was Cleveland. throwing
away the fruits of an educational
campaign brayely fought. and brought
at the polls in 1872 to q triumphant
conclusion. do now believe that in
1894 this combine nominated Parker
an able, upright man, with the pur-
pose of electing him, but that the
Ro0sevelt-C0rtelyOu strategy appear
ing upon the scene and revealing its
masked batteries and hidden rifie-pits
1t sought safety for itself and aban-
doned Parker to his fate.
One of the issues in the campaign
before US, therefore, IS the emancipa-
ton of the country from the suspicion
no less than the actually of thrai-
dom TO this dishonest influence.
Owing his election 10 the money
devil, whom he had surprised in his
lair and had throttled into subuis-
sion, Theodore Roosevelt was too hon
est and too brave a man to become
the slave Of the beast he had beaten.
No sooner did he find himself master
OF the situation than he began to as
sert himself. But here he went to the
other extreme. as is not uncommon
with those custodians OF power who
have within themselves the germs of
absolutism.
He began the career Of an autocrat
Having taken Miles upon one knee.
Sehley upon the other. and bumped
their heads together, he thought that
he could do the same with Hartman
and Morgan. Then, enjoying the big
stick and maybe a little vain of II. he
took the Senate and the House by
the ears and bumped their heads To-
gether, At last. the spirit of absolut-
ism growing on what it feeds. he
tackled the Supreme Court of the
United States, where. as the saving
is, he struck a snag. But, the average
man, loving a fighter and ever. carried
away by daring, the unthinking among
the people threw up their caps, fail
ing to discriminate. even to see that
the very form of their government
was put to menace by this resolute
FederalLst. this intrepid Capitalization
ist, this bold revolutionizer of systems
and destroyer of Constitutions by iu-
dicial construction and Executive as
sumption.
Thus the rescue of the country from
Federalism constitutes another Of the
issues of the coming conflict Of forces
to be decided by the November cleo
ton
And this brings me to Mr.. Bryan.

1t will be remembered that twelve
months ago. when the Courier-JournaI

THE PARCELS POST.

Friends and promoters of the parcels
post consider this device a great
stimulus to domestic trade. In England
and Germany. they say. it has made
life in the country as convenient and
/ pleasant as it is In the city, and 1t has
enabled many of the merchants to dis
| pense with delivery wagons,
Mir, George r.. Miller writes in a
| popular magazine:
Parcels up to the weight Of eleven
| pounds are carried through the British
mails while in some Otner countries tne
| limit is much higher Italy, chile,
| cuba. the Netherlands and New Zea-
land are the only other countries hold
ing the weight TO the same maximum
as Britain. In Germany and Austria
packages weighing one hundred and ten
pounds are received. and in Belgium
the limit Is one hundred and thirty
two pounds. In France IT Is thirty two
pounds In the United states alone
| the limit is as low as four pounds
| while the rate with us is 50 high, six
| teen cents pound, as to make the SER
| vice prohhltive for ordinary use.
| Abroad the rates vary, but they are all
! ways aimed to be not much above cost,
l and they are materially lower than
the rate now charged here, and much
lower even. than the rate proposed by
the president. which is twelve cents
pound
He says that with the inauguration
of the German parcels post the whole
sale houses simply stepped into the
field themselves and issued catalogues
as fine as any the mail order houses
could produce. And these they placed
with the country merchants In every
town and village IN the empire. The
result was that each merchant had sew
eral dozen catalogues upon his counters
for the benefit OF his customers.
The people no, order through these
firms and get whatever they desire
from the large wholesalers at the same
prices as those quoted by the mall
order houses. Country merchants have
been able to reduce their stock and
lessen the capital employed in their
business without diminishing the
amount of their trade or lessening their
profits. The customers step into
store In the most remote village Of the
country, and make their selections and
place their orders, securely confident
that they have seen all they could have
seen If they had made the journey
to one of the large cities, And they are
all satisfied"
Mr. Miller believes that the real dis
advantage Of the parcels post would be
TO the express companies.
IT should be- added that all Postmas-
ter General Meyer and President Roose-
Welt have asked OF Congress I'm this
matter Is that the people Of the United
states be given for their domestic bust
ness the same privilege that they now
have in dealing with foreign countries.
-Four pounds Is now the limit to the
weight Of parcel that can be sent
from ono place 10 another by mail tn
this country and the rate charged is
sixteen cents per pound. But in the
case of twenty foreign countries.
eleven pounds Is the limit in weight
and you can ship your package for
twelce cents per pound,

IN THE INTEREST OF LABOR.

An important law was enacted by
the late Congress, as a result of press
| ure brought to bear upon 1t by organ
| tied labor The law provides that any
| person employed by the United states
as a laborer in any OF It's manutao-
turing establishments. arsenals, navy
yards, river and harbor fertilization
work, who is injured in the line of
duty, shall receive wages until he has
recovered. This law is now in effect,
and instructions from the Secretary
of commerce and labor telling how
claims for compensation shall be flied
and what the conditions Of payment
are. have just been sent out to those
who supervise government work IL is
evident that this law will cost the PEG
pie of the United States a great deal,
but that the law is fair cannot be dis
puted. Since national wealth Is pro-
duced by labor. disabled laborers are
entitled to a part of the surplus, when
injured while producing some of thai
wealth. The operations OF the law
may in due time. be extended to prl-
vate employers of labor. If they were
liable in the same way as tho govern
ment, there would in all probability,
be fewer accidents, for many of these
are due TO careless management and
Indifference to the safety of the labor
