MccAULAY's DlREFuL
PROPHECY.
E.r,f
LORD
Mr.

&2t, IN 1891 AOrQ MCNau1ay, HAA0 6iSS's
historian and student Of world poll
tics and governments, predicted
trouble for this country during the
present century. In substance he
wrote that he wished us a safe deliv-
erance from the evils which he fore
saw, but that his wishes were at
variance with his Judgment He
fonesaw a day when in the state Of
New York property would be largely
owned by the few. and the multitude
would be penniless and hungry.
When that time came the represen-
tatives OF the rich would plead Tor
vested rights and strict observance
OF public faith, and such pleadings
would only irritate the masses who
heard their children crying for
bread s5H
II seriously apprehend you Will, IN
some such season OF adversely as !
have described, do things that wiA
prevent prosperity from returning;
that you will act like people who
should, in a season of scarcity, de-
your all the seed-corn, and thus
make next year not one Of scarcity,
but Of absolute famine.
There will be, / fear, spoliation.
The spoiiauon will increase the dis
tress. The distress will produce
fresh spoliation. There Is nothing
to stop you. Your constitution Is all
sail and no anchor AS said be-
fore when a society has entered on
its downward course, either civliza'
ton or liberty must perish. Either
some Caesar or Napoleon will seize
the resns OF government with
strong hand, or your republic will be
as fearfully plundered AID laid waste
by barbarians in the twentieth cen
tury as the Roman empire was in
the fifth
AS a people we have drifted far In
the dangerous direction predicted by
the great English historian. BY leg
islative privileges and freedom from
the burdens OF the federal govern
ment a favored few have appropri-
ated large part Of the earnings
OF the many. Predatory wealth has
dispoiled the wage Garner until des-
perate deeds have been committed
The time has come when thoughtful
men of all parties should favor
radical revision Of our entire economr
fc system, a revision that will re
suit in larger and more equitable
distribution OF the wealth Of the
country. 5e

quite within the lines of the expect

cover the southernmost point Of the

All the worthy achievements OF the
republican party happened more than
20 years ago. The record OF that
party during the last 20 years IS
enough to make every thinking mem
Der Of the party insurge. It Is a
wonder that SO many republicans
have stood tor the things that have
been done in their party's name as
long as they have.

|.y~- 49, BY ClyQ6 II. 1dVSAuSE. " I'll
United States Senator Boise Pen
rose, OF Pennsylvania, who is the
spokesman il not the leader Of the
OH Guard In the senate, has an
nounced that the senate will not
accept the democratic tariff reSduc-
ton bills =. =. :.
GAS to the sugar and steel bills,
said the Senator, 1T may be stated
that the senate will reject them. The
senate positively will not accept hap
hazard or slip shod tariff legisla-
ton
It is we'll known in Washington
that Senator Penrose and his allies
among the senate reactionaries are
great sticklers for orderliness and
precision in the framing OF tariff
LEGISLATION. For instance, il the
democrats learn, partly through
their own investigations, and partly
through the. Investigations -of the
tariff board, that the people are be-
ing forced to pay excessive prices
for WOODEN goods, and it the demo-
Gratis then propose a reduction In
the wooden duties. Senator Penr Sc
and his kind Immediately brand
such proposals as "haphazard' and
"slip shod',. Inasmuch as such bills
propose to destroy the monopolies
that are exactng. tribute from the.
people, there must be something rad
ically wrong with them: Hence
they are brandd as "haphazard
and "slip shod''.
Senator Penrose has other ideas
about tariff bills. He wants, first,
order and precision. For this pur-
pose he would have a committee
dominated by regular s.andpatters
If 1t Is then shown to the committee
that the tariff trusts are gouging fif-
ty or even one hundred per cent,
profits out Of the consumer, good
and we'll. The trusts have been. max
ing that profit in the past. so why
change? Let's do everything i'm Or
der, according to the established
custom If it is shown that the
workers in the steel and wooden
and other trusts get only IS or Sc
week, and a tariff bill Is framed II
a way that is designed to give them
more, Senator Penrose and his FOL
lowers oppose it. If that sum Isl
what the workers have been rece!v-
Ing, good and well. Let us have
no change. Let US not. upset the
regular order If once we begin TO
change and smash things around,
there's not telling where we might
stop
Every time the tariff has been
revised, the trusts have had the
first say. Theirs was the guiding |
hand behind the pens that wrote the
various schedules. Always it has
been thus. The thing has come to
be habit; a custom; an institution.
Therefore, VIII change? Why pay
any attention to the demogogues and
anarchists who complain against the
system which forces all the people to
paw '-ihute, and which forces men

JERRY 3. sULLlvAN's SPEECH
INTRODUCING WOODROW
WILSON,.

In his introductory speech at che
great Wilson meeting in Des Moines
last week Hon. Jerry B. Sullivan Of
that city made some good points
Here are some OF them:
"a great nation OF commercial
strength and political integrity is
Slapped at the foundation by special
Legislation and warped by special
privilege, & said Mr.. Sullivan.
"The symmetry, Of our nation Is
determined by the distribution of its
wealth. Ii, by legislation, one man
Is deprived OF property for the bene-
ut OF another, that nation has lost
the highest ideals OF good govern
ment.
THE supreme contest between
privilege and equality Will be waged
in the campaign Of 1912 and the
question for you and to answer Is
on which side do we stand.
1T is indeed fortunate that the
democratic party enters the contest
fully armed and equipped. 1t IL as-
gressive and progressive. 1t charges
ito old time political enemy with
standing for the few and lesislsting
for property. The democratic party
stands for the protection OF the
home instead OF the trust, and BE-
lieyes the revenue derived from tax
alton should be the highest on lux
uries and the least on the necessities
Of Life
"That freedom Of trade Is more OF
necessity for the many than spe-
;ial privilege for the few. The
democratic party believes the peo-
pie can be better trusted what to
10 than the trust can what not to
do. The democratic party stands for
the rule Of the people and not THAT
OF gigantic interests.
THE democratic party believes ~
IS more Just that those who obey
the law should rule, rather than
those who break It. That big bust
ness must not govern, but should pc
governed.
TT never was better equipped With
leaders for the contest now being
entered on than it is today. 1t has
those who have demonstrated their
ability and proven their position.
Men who never faltered, even with
wealth's dazzling briuiancy hanging
in their presence.
1--WE care not who our opponent
may be, whether it is him who de-
clared that the highest tariff Law
ever enacted was the best, or ne
who called certain tinanciers unde-
sirable citizens and then invited the
chief to contribute to his campaign
fund. We say to the chieftain OF
Oyster Bay, II you shall be the
nominee of the republican party In
this campaign the march you Will
make during the coming summer
months will not be up San Juan hill,
but toward Waterloo We are
ready for the contest and thrice arm
e. because our cause is just.
governor Wilson is one OF the
distinguished citizens Of our nation.
A man Of humble birth, yet endowed
with a wealth of intellect. One who
loves democracy and believes in its
fulSillment. One with whom truth
is more to be obeyed than to blind
ly follow error. Taken from a great
educational institution and placed in
power as the chief executive OF
sister state demonstrated his ability
to govern. Who in a single term
40 chief executive drove from power
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1912-03-13

The present mlx-up in republican
politics 10 good thing for the coun-
try. 1t will have a tendency to- in
duce voters to use their reason on
election day instead OF their old
party tag.

Glen Warner athletic coach at the car
isle Indian School, declared at the even
ing session Of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association that baseball in col

"As long as colleges continue 10 ne
yelop baseball az one OF the principal
sports" said Mr.. Warner. colleges VIII
continue to turn out baseball players WHO
will be In great demand and become p'o-
fessionals. our experience at 'arIlSie mas
convinced us that instead OF paSeod''
making men of the Indians 1t was more
apt 10 make buns OF them.

I'VE substituted for baseball the gam"
Of lacrosse. and find that IT is now en-
'iovod more than baseball was. ! really
believe that the only solution of the base
hall evil in our colleges is to cut it out
entirely ard substitute a game that IS not

This indictment OF baseball instantly
caused much discussion among those
present. and at its height Professor Ernst
Bouvi,r. Of Rutgers College, arose ana
said.
Il move that this association appoint Il

cerned the only thing would prescrib"
for baseball i'm the colleges is dose OF

tee OF three is appointed they can look
thoroughly into the matter and upon their
report We can see what tins association
can do"
This motion was unanimously adopted
and the question viii bc turned over To
three men.
Rcyerting to the baseball question Pro
fcssor Boscr. of Dartmouth. declared
that the greatest evil Of college baseball
was that OF "yappiug." He believes that
