AN ISSUE THAT CUTS SHARPLY.

In its meeting at Bryan's country
place near Lincoln the Democratic ma
tional committee made a telling cam
paign issue with the Republican man
ayers by declaring that the Demo-
cratic party will not accept contribu-
tons from corporations, that no con-
tribution of more than $4,000 will be
accepted from any source, and that
every contribution of more than 500
will be made public before the cleo
ton.
Treasurer George R. Sheldon of the
Republican national committee, has
ostentatiously proclaimed that contri-
buttons to the Republican campaign
fund will be as cordially welcomed
from corporations as from individuals.
1t makes no difference to him where
the money comes from. The Repub-
lican party needs money to be used
In improperly influencing politics dur
ing the campaign, and he will take it
from any source.
Mr.. Sheldon's standards of political
morality are quite as high as those of
other Republican leaders and cam
paign managers. He does not see the
improperly of using in politics the
money of corporation which by its
charter can have neither political
principles nor the right to vote.
Mr.. Sheldon and the other Repub-
lican managers do not see the palpable
dishonesty of accepting from directors
OF corporations money of stockhold-
ers which they have not voted for po-
lNical uses. In their view the manipu-
lating corporation manager is every
thing. the property rights of the indi-
vidual stakeholder nothing.
In its platform and through the ac-
ton of it's national committee the
Democratic party has made for itself
higher code of political and business
morality. The code will stand, not
for this campaign only nor for the
Democratic party alone. 1t is so emf
nently right that it will before long
be the only code tolerated. 1t will be
the law of the land from one end Of
the country to the other.
The list of contributors to the Dem
ocratic cause, to be published before
the election. will be roll of honor in
which any good citizen may we'll be
proud to see his name printed. The
legitimate expenses of presidential
campaign are necessarily large, and
no one who believes that the Demo
cratic party is right need be ashamed
to contribute in any way that he can
to Its success.
A new era in America politics has
been opened at Fairview. Now let us
see what the Republicans are going to
do about it.-St. Louis Republic

A World Steel Trust.

A news dispatch from London states
on the authority of the Iron and Steel
Trades Journal. that the formation Of
an international steel trust" in which
American, German. Russian and Brit
fish steel interests will unite will be
an accomplished fact in few weeks.
The headquarters of the trust will be
In London and Its capitalization will
be gigantic.
Whether this greatest world trust
will be assured in few weeks or not,
the way for its formation has been
paved by the tariff policy. which shut
out foreign competition and led to the
formation Of our great trust. If the
tariffs did not create national trusts.
the day of international mergers would
be much less imminent

NOT THIS YEAR.

The New York Post says: "The Sc.

opinion of the best German element
in st. Louis, does not follow the lead
of the New York staats-Zeitung in
supporting Bryan.
But perhaps the ST. Louis Times
does not follow the lead of the Ger

The Democratic Outlook.

Never within many years has the out
look for democratic success been as
good as now, due to republican faction
al strife in many states, and complete
democratic harmony in every state save
one, and that Wyoming. When the
democratic party has been united in the
past it has been invincible. That now
its varied elements are firmly welded
together is evident to all.
Each day improves democratic pros
poets in New York, dubious at the be-
ginning but so rapidly changing as to
put that state in the doubtful column
Up state and down state the democrats
are for Bryan. The two republican
factions are.at each others threats.
If Hughes is not renominated for gov
ernor there will be great detection, and
if he is renominated there will be equal
detection, so the party is between the
devil and the deep sea. Republicans
are admitting the gravity of the Ohio
situation. Foraker has not been plac
ated, there is the Vorys incident which
has alienated republicans innumerable,
the negroes are an uncertainty, and
the nomination of Judson Harmon in
sures support for Bryan he would
otherwise be without. Ohio democrats
are confident that they will carry the
state. The labor vote in Indiana is a
large factor, and so is the negro vote
The native son for vice president is
helping out, and between the Taggart
and opposing faction of the party there
is complete understanding. The, fac
tional contest in Illinois, long continued,
has split the party intwo there. Foss s
determination to carry the senatorial
contest into the legislature may prove
the deciding straw in the balance,
thriving the state to Bryan. Wiscon-
sin and Nebraska are practically con-
coded to Bryan, and in Kansas he is
stronger than he has ever been, and
seems assured of that states electoral
vote. The renewed fractional war in
Iowa makes Bryan's success here ex-
tremely probable, the scoffings of re-
publicans who do not know how thin is
the ice on which they are walking to
the contrary Notwithstanding. South
Dakota and Colorado are for Bryan,
and Oregon and California are rated
doubtful. The solid south and the bor-
der states are conceded Mr. Bryan.
The democrats will make fight in
Minnesota and as preliminary step
are seeking to induce Governor john
son to change his purpose, and agree
to stand for reelection. The Bryan
campaign there will be in charge of
Gov. Johnson's friends.
Tee man who says their is no chance
for Bryan speaks from a we'll of ignor-
ance. There is not only chance for
him, but there is the certain convic-
ton that if democrats everywhere
shall work in his behalf from this time
forth he will be elected. Dubuque

A Cincinnati dispatch to the New
York World says that two of the cam
paign choruses sung at the Taft mott
fication meeting. were as follows:
He's no Billy Bryan fakir,
Well have it understood,
When he's asked to show his hand
He always has the goods.
He's great big man, don't you ever
doubt it.
And he will keep on growing, now
that he's about it.
He'll be president, the people all will
shout it,
And everybody knows he's from Ohio.
Me o. my o, dear old state Ohio.
Mother and trainer of presidents.
Maker and shaper Of great events,
We're in it again in nineteen eight.
Favorite son of our great state.
He's not only big, but he is great,
Our candidate, William H. Taft.
Maybe if he keeps on growing now
that he is about it" he will be able, in
a few years, to write his messages
without sending them to the jungles
of South Africa to be edited by the
gentleman who forced his nomination
upon the. Republican party.
