The Bio Issue.

United States Senator La Fol-
lettee, in the closing chapter of
his autobiography, which has
been running in the American
magazine and which soon is to be
published in book form, gives
what he considers to be the one
big issue now confronting the
American people. He says:
In twenty-five years of politi-
cal struggle l have found one
great issue overshadowing all
others-the encroachment of the
powerful few on the rights of the
many. All the issues Of today are
phases of this one great question.
How shall the individual, the far
mer, the worker, and all those
who pay tribute, be set free from
the unjust exactions of the tariff,

How "plssoIutIon" Helps.

The Standard Oil company's
profit figures for the six months
since January flrst-the first six
months of operation under the
terms of the Supreme Courts dis
solution decree-shows that the
trust has piled up profits Of S46,-
SIT, 628. Last year, the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey,
the corporation which distributed
dividends for the trust, paid out
profits of $39,335,32O.
Thus it is apparent that dis
solution" suits are highly ben
eflcial TO such law defying monop-
olies as the Standard Oil company.

their capacity. The Baldwin
locomotive works, of philadelphia
which employs $4,000 men in one
plant, announced within the week
that it would work to capacity
for year to come on present or
ders.
Every day sees the conversion
if influential republicans to the
the governors allegiance, notable
among whom is C.. R. Crane, the
Chicago millionaire who long sup
ported Roosevelt.
Added to these favorable signs
the government crop reports point
to a bumper yield, so it would
seem that even Providence ap-
proved the selection Of the noted
Princeton man to lead the Demo-
cratic hosts to victory.

wilson's Broad Appeal.

The practical wisdom of Cover
nor Wilson's nomination is as
sorting itself more every day. OF
all the men that were available
for the Democratic nomination,
none was 80 we'll fortified as the
New Jersey governor to meet the
requirements of the country and
the party.
That he has the confidence of
the business interests is shown
by the fact that his nomination
did not cause the slightest distur-
bance in the financial centers
that are supposed to be baromet-
ers Of the business welfare.
All the big corporations are
working almost to the limit OF

aristocracy Of the country the
right to rule it. They will point
out that the wealth and aristo-
cracy of the country-living off
the country and milking it reg
have brains enough
to preserve it from going to des-
truction-just as a man would
care for, feed and protect a val
liable COW hat supplied food for
his family. On the other hand
these new ideas Of permitting the
people to rule, of wiping out old
constitutional restrictions, Of
changing from a representative
form of government to a direct
democracy, will result, they say,
in chaos social, inspanics 'flnan-
cially, in hard times commercial.
This is both a threat and a prom
ice, for the vested interests are
able to create the very storm they
pretend to fear. Today the first
whispering of this form Of argu-
ment appear in the newspapers
owned or controlled by the inter-
ests. We are reminded Of the
hard times under Cleveland, we
are threatened once again with
the empty dinner pail and with
the once ubiquitous soup-house.
These we are told shall be the
country's latter end, shall be the
reward Of the nation, if it votes
in a democratic administration.
But they forget, how they do
forget! Just as the United States
senators forget the existance of a
people, and enacted tariff act
that was repugnant to very sence
Of justice and in plain violation Of
a solem pledge. They forget that
the people Of this nation may be
like Samson Of old.
Samson, a captive, blind, tor
mented, tainted in the temple Of
his enemies, with his arms pull
led down the pillars and let the
roof rain destruction both upon
himself and his enemies.
A nation may be goaded by in-
justice, by ceaseless petty thiev-
cry, by persistent robbery, into a
course that it would not take. 1t
may be blind-but it has that inn
mense strength and it may exert
upon its enemies and upon itself.
History has told such tales OF
nations.
We may bring upon ourselves
the death Of commerce and the
sitting Of industry; we may see
idle men begging for bread and
the products Of the farm drop to
nil in value, but we shall not be
ignorant, as we once were. He
shall not need to ask: what
enemy hath done this thing?" We
shall know that the powers that
prey are abroad in the land once
more. using the old, old argument
Of fancied restitution and des-
truction to whip back under them
a rebelling people.-Broadaxe.

Washington Letter.

/ s00WOGs
Washington, July 23-Now tina,
the people have come to see the
sham OF high tariff, and to un-
derstand that a continuation OF
Republican rule means a still fur
Their surrender of the government
to the trust plunderhead, the G.
o. P. orators and newspapers are
trying to raise the spectre Of hard
times, and to make it appear that
business will falter in the event
Of Democratic success.
Such imbecilitics never weary
the Republican mind. Without
regard to the truth, and unim-
pressed by evidence to the con-
trary, those men go on shouting
the same old heresies. The "hard
times" hcresy is a twin brother to
the long exploded doctrine that a
high protective tariff protects
American workingmen, when
every schoolboy in the land knows
that it does no such thing.
A brief review if recent Ameri-
can business depression provides
full and sufficient answer to
these foolish arguments. The
last panic in this country occurr-
ed less than five years ago, when
all the machinery Of government
was in full control of the Repub-
licans, and when Theodore Roose-
welt, who has a cure for all known
political evils, was in the White
House. This panic was the least
excusable the nation ever endur-
ed.
The Republican party was in
full control of the government
when the panic Of 1873 came
about. Likewise, this party was
in power when there came a PAN
ic in the early part of 1884, and
the country recovered from that
panic during the campaign that
resulted the election of Mr.. Cleve-
land. The Republican party was
in full control Of the government
for the four years previous to the
panic Of 1893, which was a cur
rency panic clearly due to the
passage, by the Republicans, of
the Silver Purchase act Of 1890.
This law so depeted the gold re-
serve in the national treasury
that few MILLIONS Of gold were
borrowed by the government in
New York, in order to keep the
treasury reserve up to 500, OOO,-
900 until the Harrison admins
tration could get out of office, and
thus make it appear that the PAN
ic was due TO the incoming Demo-
cratic administration.
The silver panic of 1893. which
was entirely due TO the Republic
can legislation, is the only one for
more than half a century that did
not occur while the Republicans
were in full possession of the gov
eminent. But Republican orators
and newspapers, true to their
habit of hiding the facts and rails
ing false issues, go right ahead
trying to make it appear that the
Democratic party is the party OF
hard times.
This is the heresy Of the pro-
nounced kind, and it is safe to
assume that the country will ap-
preciate it at its true worth. The
time is passed when the voters
can be fooled. They are demand
ing the truth, and what is more
important, they are showing the
ability to seperate the truth from
II the false

Hoppe. the present holder. now has
the undisputed lead In the 1872 baik-
line billiard championship tourna-
ment being played at the Hotel AS

last night, after Kohl Yamada had de-
feated Ora Morningstar in the after
Moons play. Hoppe jumped into the
lead. and looms up as the most likely
winner of the tournament.
A strange feature about this Is that
Is was Yamada who pulled Hoppe
down in his standing by defeating
him, and 1t was Yamada who boosted
Hoppe into the lead by defeating
Morningstar. who previously was tied
with Hoppe for the honors.
The weeks play has proved that
Koji Yamada. of Japan, is one Of the
most spectacular players to watch in
action.
Tomorrow afternoon Demarest and
Cline and Morningstar and Taylor
play, while in the evening Hoppe and
Sutton and Yamada and Slosson meet.
