Drake says the mining property in that district shows very rich ore. the only difficulty being lack of capital to develop 1t, and he thinks the eastern capitalists would find it a splendid investment, as the mine owners cannot raise sufficient money locally.

WASTING THE PEOPLES MONEY.
Republican Extravaganza Shown In
Condition Of Treasury.

The fiscal year Just closed makes a
disastrous showing for Republican
policies on financial and political eco.
nomy. Last fall the secretary of the
treasury, in his estimates for congress,
said there would DO a surplus revenue
for the year of s4i, 100000 but the fact
is there is a deficiency of nearly $780,
100000. The experts q the United
States treasury we're evidently unable
to see, or refused for political reasons
to notice, that the tide had turned and
the taxpayers were no longer able to
pay, as they had been doing. High
tariff taxes had killed the goose that
mad been laying golden eggs for the
trusts, and panic resulted.
In spite of this enormous falling of
m the revenue Of the government, the
Republican party In congress persist
ed In trying to prove that Republican
policies produced prosperity by max.
Ing even more extravsgant appropria-
lions than ever before. so that the
amount exceeded s1,0OS, 100000. That
vast sum was appropriated for ex-
penses for one year, namely, from
July l, 1908, to June 80, 1909.
1t is only few years ago that the
whole country was startled when it
discovered that the taxpayers were
burdened by billion-dollar congress,
whereas now when this present con.
gress adjourns on March 4 next it will
be called a two billion congress. for
the Republicans seem utterly unable
to reduce expenses.
How great the deficiency will be for
the fiscal year just begun cannot be
accurately estimated, but that it will
exceed the deficiency for the year Just
closed is most probable, and may be
much greater.
such great extravaganza and such a
falling of in revenue may result in
the secretary of the treasury refusing
to redeem the United States bonds
now due drawing three per cent, al,
though the National banks now hold
over s15O,OO0,Ooo Of government de.
posits.
This strange financial policy of pay.
Ing interest while at the same time
having the money on hand to pay the
principal would be regarded as the
act OF a spendthsift, if a private indi.
vidual Yet that seems to be the crazy
policy Of this strenuous Republican
administration.

Socialism and Democracy Incompatible.
The true foundation of Democratic
government consists in the equal
rights Of every man in his person and
property, and in their management.
Democrats hold that these rights of
personal liberty and private property
are inalienable natural rights; that
men could not lose or surrender them
II they would. The constitution of the
United States is the best expression
OF the Democratic theory of a repre-
sentative government Of the people, con
Quoted by their agents for their bene-
fit, which has ever been written, and
Democrats believe that by the preser-
walton OF the spirit and letter of the
constitution alone will the people of
this country ever be able to secure the
real blessings Of liberty to themselves
and their posterity.
Socialists, on the contrary, deny the
right of private property, repudiate the
doctrine of inalienable natural rights
denounce the constitution and appeal
to some mythical higher law" which,
II it were practicable, would destroy
all that is human, safe and sane In
system OF government. This so-called
higher law" Of Socialism is some
times referred TO as the brotherhood
of man; sometimes as the divine law
the golden rule, the evangelical coun
sells, and the like. But whenever the
Socialists in this country have been
able to enforce any higher law than
the constitution, that law has taken
the shape, either Of protective tariff
for breeding and sheltering trusts, or
OF system Of cooperative societies,
like the Mormons, the Dowieites and
others, based on some sort of supersti.
ton or craze. whose officers plumber

proves that Socialism under whatever
guise 1t appears, religious, political or
economical, breeds and feeds on graft
until 1t transforms itself into feudal-
ism. and then into Imperialism. It's
first appearance 10 that Of a fad. or
amusement, or religious conception

and In private. Such is the nature and
history Of Socialism. 1t has no place

nvsr BULB UP. MARINE.
First Step Towards Real Prosperity Of
the Country.

The Panama canal will be of but lit.
tie service to the United States ex-
cept for warships and the coasting
trade, II the American merchant
marine is to continue in the decrepit
state that Republican policies have
brought 1t to. When Democratic poll
cies prevailed the United States had
the finest merchant ships afloat and
our Baltimore clippers were seen on
every sea. But persistent tariff pro-
lection for infant industries" and es-
pecially for the sAipbuilding trust has
driven our flag from the oceans by
making 1t improbable for Americans
to build and own ships for foreign
trade. 1t costs 80 per cent, or more,
to build a ship IN the United States
than 1t does in England, but the law
will not allow a prospective ship
owner to buy his ship where he can
buy 1t cheaper, 80 he cannot compete
with the cheaper built foreign ships.
The Republican policy is to over
come this unnatural state of affairs
by paying subsidies to American ships,
either as a direct ship-subsidy, or as
An extra subsidy for carrying the mails
to foreign ports.
Under such policies our taxpayers
are doubly taxed, they pay the tariff
tax on all they buy, either to the gov
eminent on imported goods, or to
the trusts and manufacturers who can
demand high prices for their products
because they are protected by the tar
IN from competition from abroad.
Then the tax payer would also have to
pay the ship subsidy as we'll as the
freight, so that both these expenses
would make the freight rate by an
American ship much higher than the
rate charged BY foreign ships.
How can the American Merchant
Marine prosper under such conditions
Instead Of paying subsidies why not
try free trade In ships so that any
one can buy . ship and sail 1t under
the American flag?
The United States will never have a
profitable merchant marine until the
tarin Is revised 30 that it would not
weigh heavily On that industry. With
free ships and tariff for revenue only,
American pluck aad ingenuity would
successfully compete on the sea with
all nations.
