i and the condition of the people, l
\ congress were to adjourn sine die, to
day, there would be such shout g
up from every part of this country a!
would fairly shake the heavens. Every
languishing industry would imme
i diately put on new life. New hope
and new courage would be infused into
every Industrial project and tho
| wheels Of progress would again re
volve with their old time rapidity and
regularity. Possibly nothing but 9
Coxey movement and the demonstra
| ton made by it in Washington would
serve to call the democratic majority
in congress to its senses. Who knows
The editorial reproduced from the
| Clinton Herald said:
AS a living, object lesson, the Kelley
and Coxey and Hogan and other iii
dustrial armies will teach political
truths with force and eject such as
cannot be realized through any other
medium. AS vitalized evidence OF
democratic incapacity to govern wisely,
they amount to positive proof; as a
standing warning against tampering
ignorantly with the delicate machinery
of commerce, they will serve as i'm
pressiye reminders for future guild
ance.
Nothing could dissipate these in
dustrial armies so quickly as the In
slant adjournment OF congress till
next December, or the defeat OF the
Wilson bill in the senate beyond re-
call. The wheels of industry would at
once be sent in lively motion all over
the land; an active demand for work
men would follow at once; the leaders
and the honest and industrious por-
lions of the armies" would imme-
diately step into employment, and
nothing would be left but the tramp
contingent, without leadership, and
which would speedily scatter and dis,
appear.
It is a grave question what will be
the final outcome of the present agita-
ton. It is taking all sorts Of phases.
The con to Washing ton' is only one
Of it's features. Strikes and lockouts
are the other manifestations Of the
universal discomfort. What further
aspect it will yet take can only be
surmised, but it can only be assumed
that there will be no decided change
for the better while the shadow OF
threatened democratic legislation con-
tinues to blight and paralyze. Ell
And there was no recovery until
the shadow Of threatened democratic
legislation no longer continued to
blight and paralyze." It was not until
the election Of republican president
and republican congress. and the en-
actment Of protective tariff law that
the country fully recovered. Since
then this country has been at the high
tide of prosperity.

THE CAUSE or A PANIC AND THE
REMEDY APPLIED.

| For the last week the Courier has
given considerable space to the condi-
| ton of affairs during the last demo
cratic national administration Ar
ticles from the files Of the Courier
during this time have been produced
which have refreshed the memory OF
those who lived through that trying
period Of industrial depression Today
the Courier reproduces an editorial
from the Courier of May 2, 1894, and
an editorial from the Clinton Herald
which appeared in the Courier that
day. These editorials snow that the
people realized then, as they realize
now, what was responsible for the
condition of affairs into which the
country had been plunged. They show
that it was the democratic partys ef-
forts to reverse the policy of protec-
ton to American industries and Amer.
lean labor that closed the mills and
the factories and that filled the ranks
of the armies of unemployed. The
editorial from the Courier of May 2,
1894. makes interesting reading to-
day. 1t said:
It seems incomprehensible to be-
lieve as one reads the Coxey mani
festo. which is published in this issue,
and as we contemplate the fearful in
dustrial depression throughout the
country and take note of the bands
of unemployed who are mistakenly
but zealously making their way toward
Washington-we say as one contem-
plates these things, it is almost i'm
possible to believe that less than two
years ago the nation was enjoying the
greatest prosperity in its history. And
the astonishing phase of the problem,
as presented to US, is that there is just
as much to eat; there is just as much
to do, and the conditions in every re-
spect are just the same as two years
ago, excepting only one. and that one
is the frightful menace of the demo
cratic party to reverse the policy OF
the nation upon the tariff and place
our country upon free trade basis.
Is it not almost past belief that men
elected to congress should go blindly
forward and carry out the mere
declarations of a platform in utter
] disregard of the welfare of the nation

1t is through better conditions and less

was for this purpose that all branches
of labor formed organizations of their
various crafts under the one head, the
American Federation Of Labor, and
organized labor is looking for men
they can send as representatives
to congress and the senate, who will
give the laboring man the same
rights and privileges that are given to
the great money powers. We want
men who will propose and work for
the enactment of laws that will give
the working classes the right to
organize and to limit the hours OF la

meet the prices set upon the com
modities necessary to sustain life.

Frank Lynch, the candidate for
county clerk. is successful business
man, good accountant, courteous, wide
awake and aggressive. 1t would be hard
to find man so well fitted for the du-
ties of the office for which he is can
didate. Everyone can safely recon-
mend Mr.. Lynch to the voters OF this
county as man eminently qualified to
perform the work Of the Office, and one
who should be elected by a big major
ity. If every voter in Wapello county
were personally acquainted with Mr..
Lynch, his election would be almost
unanimous.

CONGRESSMAN KENDALL.

Congressman N. e. Kendalls meet
ing at the Grand opera house last
night was the most rousing political
meeting of the campaign and it was
the largest audience brought out to a
political meeting in Ottumwa this
year. Congressman KendalPs speech
was masterful. Republican policies
were never presented in more lucid
manner, nor with more brilliant ora
torical effect. Congressman Kendall
is destined to take high rank among
the orators and debaters of congress.
His forceful style Of delivery, his elo-
quence and his ability to thoroughly
grasp his subject will assure him an
attentive audience whenever his voice
is heard in speech or debate. His
tireless energy and his mastery of de-
tail will give him rank with the fore
most of the nations legislators. The
congressman from the sixth district Of
Iowa has a brilliant future before him.
and the sixth district will benefit
vastly by keeping such a man in con-
gress. Young men of the ability Of
Congressman Kendall should be con
tinued in public life. In no other way
can their unusual talents be utilized
so greatly to the benefit of their con.
stituencies.
