The Republican Party
a Panic Party.

Whose panic is this anyway From
the talk which the republican spell
binders and newspapers are making,
one would imagine that such 3 thing
as financial collapse was impossible
under a republican administration
And yet every financial panic this
country has experienced since the
civil war has started under a repubIi-
can administration and with republi-
can policies in full force in the ma
tional government. The New Haven,
Conn, Union, cOntending that the re-
publican party is panic party, says:
There have been four big panics in
this country since the Civil war. In
every case they began during repub-
ican administrations and worked their
havoc under republican made laws.
The panic of 1873 occurred during
Grants administration, with the G. ..
P. in full power. At the next cleo
ton the democrats elected Tilden, but
the presidency was stolen from him.
The hard times of 1884 occurred
in ATthuT's republican administration
and were followed by the election of
Grover Cleveland.
The next panic, that of 1892, began
in Harrison's administration, but spent
the full force of its fury in the sue
ceeding Cleveland administration.
Cleveland and the democratic party
we're unfairly held responsible for this
panic, which came while the Mckinley
tariff law was in force, and almost
two years before the enactment of the
Wilson law, which is said to have
caused it.
The present panic has been in prog
ress for almost year. 1t occurred
under a republican administration and
under the Republican Dingley tariff
| law. As the Johnstown (PaO Demo
crat has asked: Now, then, which
is the panic party?"
The answer ought to be obvious and
it is, In fact, financial panics are the
inevitable result of the policies of the
republican party. 1t ought to be
| automatic that you can't tax a man
rich and il should be equally clear
that any policy which permits unre-
strained speculation with ether peo-
pies money is going to result in disas-
| ter whenever the day of liquidation
comes
| The present panic belongs to the re-
publican party, and the party itself is
party of panics.

HE INTELLIGENT FARMER
AND HIS INFLUENCE

John NJ Stahl, of Quincy, H., who
calls himself. in capital letters. a
farmer, and who was president Of the
Farmers National Congress for two
years, has compiled and published a
little book on The Real Farmer in
which be tries to remove few wrong
impressions that, in his opinion, pre-
vail to large extent throughout the
non-agTicultural sections of the Coun-
tFS.
He insists that the farmers of the
United States are not in favor of re-
pudiation, debased currency and pop
Ulism, and that the records prove his
assertion. He is firmly of the opin-
ion that the farmers are as intelligent
patriotic and alert as any other class
in the country. and he goes somewhat
extensively into newspaper evidence
that the man in the city is more like
ly to buy gold bricks, If they are skill
fully gilded. than the aTiculturist
who is always depicted as investing in
something utterly worthless except
for experience.
Farmer Stahl's plea for the farmer
has its practical reason. He wishes
the great public to know that the
American dgTicultuTist is IN TO date
alert and discriminating, and having
proved that what he says is true he
explains briefly that the farmer must
be reckoned with politically and
should receive respectful cOnSideTa-
ton when he asks for the defeat or
massage of legislation We should
say that Farmer StshI is active in

He Is what is called a good sleeper
He is SO constituted that the troubles
of the day do not follow him into the

or two long speeches a day, with,
probably, numerous short car end
talks, and goes to bed thoroughly tired

Striking a Man
Who Is Down.

In keeping with his swashbuckier
character, Theodore Roosevelt has
again staggered into tle hmelight
and, with all immediate danger past
and being compelled to say something
in defence of his fat candidate, he
proceeds with the crude and brutal
manners of the bully to belaboF-
and fight hack; not one who is in
position to defend himself-Theodor
Roosevelt never does taat- He de-
aiberately strikes a man who is down
and down hard-Senator Foraker of
Ohio.
Somewhere in that splendiferous
volume entitled, How | Licked
Spain" the author proceeds to re-
late, IL we remember correctly, a de-
tailed account of how he shot
Spaniard in the back. Any man who
will deliberately shoot anotaer in the
back and then bTag about it after
ward is capable of doing almost any
capable of striking an opponent 1fter
the latter is down-something that
even the bully seldom does.
In the assault which Theodore Roose-
welt has Just made upon Senator
Foraker the true character of the
man is strikingly illustrated. His &C
ton has all the characteristics of the
bully and the coward. He would not
attack the Ohio senator until after
some one else had immersed the I'M
fortunate man. Then, when Foraker
was down, Theodore Roosevelt struck
him.
Mr.. Taft would not be guilty of so
, gross a breach even of the ethics of
the prize ring. Taft's answer, when
previously importuned to do the same
thing was: Even though it would
win me every vote in the United
States for president, l will not strike
a man when he is down" That answer
is worthy of a place with Henry
Clay's - would rather be right than
be president" 1t was the answer of Z
brave and chivalrous gentleman.
But Theodore Roosevelts answer
was a blow and the reason he gave
Tor ii was as bad in principle as
= the act he committed. In prefacing
his attack upon the Ohio senator, Mr..
Roosevelt says; in view of Mr..
BeaFst's disclosures" etc, etc. Then
he proceeds with his despicable as
Sauit
Why lin view of Mr.. Hearst's dis
elosures?" Why not have attacked
Senator Foraker while he was N the
saddle? Why wait until some one
else had slain him? If the things which
Mr.. Roosevelt knew about Senator
Foraker were important and true, why
should he have delayed all q this
time in making them pnblie9 If know
ing these things. he was willing
10 have Senator FoTaker's support for
Mr.. Taft before Mr.. Hearst made
the facts public. why SHOULD be or his
candidate be any better for repudiat,
ing Foraker now after Hearst has
forced the facts upon public atten-
ton?
The reasons are only tao plain.
Theodore Roosevelt has learned moth
ing new about Foraker. He was will
ing, though, to have the Senator S
support so long as the facts were not
known. But after some one else had
turned on the light, then Theodore
Roosevelt, making virtue of neces,
sity, was ready to use the tactics CT
