The masters of the government
of the United States are the
combined capitalists and man.
ufacturers of the United States.
1t is written over every init
mate page of the records of
Congress; it is written all
through the history of confer
ences at the White House, that
the suggestion of economic
policy in this country have
come from one source, not from
many sources; the benevolent
guardians. the kind-hearted
trustees, who have taken the
troubles of government off our
hands have become so conspicu-
Gus that almost anybody can
write out list of them. They
have become so conspicuous
that their names are mentioned
upon almost every political plat
form. The men who have un-
dertaken the interesting job of
taking care of us do not force
us to require them with anony-
mously directed gratitude. We
know them by name"
And when this man has been
called to a job as big as that set
before Washington or Lincoln
has this to say of that voiceless
majority of whom he has writ
ten so eloquently:
81 tell you the men l am in
terested in are the men who,
under the conditions we have
had, never had their voices
heard, who never got line in
the newspapers, who never got
moment on the platform, who
never had access to the ears of
governors or presidents or of
anybody who was responsible
for the conduct of public affairs.
but who went silently and pa
tiently to their work every day
carrying the burden of the
world. How are they to be un-
derstood by the masters of fl
nance if only the masters of fl
nance are consulted?
That is what | mean when
say, Bring the government
back to the people,
Which is to say that our
tariff taxes for so years have
been levied by the men who are
benefited by taxation, and the
time has come when such taxes
shall be laid by the people who
are oppressed by taxation. AS
nan original and honest PROPOSE.
tion taxation is a hardship en-.
dured by people for the sup.
port of their government
necessary evil. But as our tariff
taxes have been imposed, they
are an advantage to a small
class-the manufacturers-.wht
reap the harvest, golden anc
abundant, from taxation which
is Daneful per sc even to them
if honestly and constitutionally
perpetuated.

STATEMENT OF THE CONDITION
OF
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1913-03-12

A week passed. Christmas And
not one of them recalled the day.
Perhaps it was because years had
passed since that time when it meant
anything to them. The old year went
out a-lagging! neither did they take
note of this. Having left behind civil
nzat1on, customs and habits were for.
gotten.
Sometimes they rode all day and all
night, sometimes but half a day, and
again, when the water was sweet, they
rested the day and night. Never a
human being they saw, never a cara
van met or crossed them. In this
week, the secret marvels of the desert
became theirs. They saw it CLEAN
and Waver and glitter under skies Of
brass, when the north wind let down
and a breeze came over from the Per-
sian Gulf. They saw it covered with
the most amazing blues and greys and
green's. They saw it under the rarest
azure and stately fleet of billowy
clouds; under the dawn, under the set
of sun, under the moon and stars;
and unfailingly the 1nterminable
reaches of sand and rock and scrubby
bush, chameleon-like, readjusted it's
countenance to each change in the
sky. George, who was a poet without
the gift of expression, never ceased
to find new charms; and nothing

DEsPIsED scHooLMAsTERs.

Greek teachers in classic times had
little liberty, poor remuneration, and
they enjoyed a correspondingly low
scale of social recognition. 1t is not
easy to understand why this should
have been the case; but the fact is
attested by many of their own poets
and orators, who from 400 B. c. to 200
A. d. allude contemporary to them as
little better than social pariahs. One
piquant quotation from the satirical
poet, Lucian, well illustrates the view
point. He imagines that a deceased
friend comes back to pay him visit.
Lucian inquiries of him in what esteem
those whose tombs, embellished with
elaborate sculpture and glowing in
scriptions, testify to the respect in
which they we're held while on earth,
are regarded in Hades? The ghost
replies: you never laughed so heart
lily as you would do if you saw the
way we treat those who have been
princes and governors. They are now
miserable beggars, reduced to the COM
pany of those who hawk salt
fish or who teach the alphabet to
children!"

ELEPHANTS LIKED MUSIC.

A ship with cargo of 40 elephants
was anchored off the coast of Zanzi-
bar, East Africa, in a perfectly smooth
sea. A monograph belonging to the
sailors began playing the air, Every
body's Doing It." Gradually the ship
began to roll back and forth, and soon
was dipping dangerously, as though in
violent storm. There was a general
alarm on board and the captain order
ed an investigation of the remarkable
phenomenon. 1t was found that the
40 elephants were swinging their
trunks in unison with the music, and
swaying back and forth. The huge
beasts seemed to be enjoying it i'm
mensely. The ship was riding light,
with no other cargo, and the rolling
of the vessel became so great that
there was danger of it turning clear
over. The music was stopped, the at
tendants hurried down and with much
shouting and humping managed to
stop the dangerous amusement.

INGENIOUS SWINDLERS.

A man who once had his hour of
fame, or rather infamy, has died at
the age Of eighty, at Quimper, France.
Half century ago he was the clerk
of a notary Of the district, whom he
used to accompany to the houses of
those who on their death beds had
summoned his employer to make their
will. His procedure was as follows.
He used, in collision, of course, with
the notary, to crawl under the bed of
the dying and often unconscious tes-
tator, and, being an expert ventrilo-
quist, reply to the lawyer in the words
the latter had dictated to him. Time
and again the ruse succeeded, and by
it's means wills were falsified to the
benefit of the fraudulent notary and
the would-be heirs who had bought his
services. Finally the trick was dis
covered, and the notary was con-
demned to 20 and his clerk to 10
years penal servitude.

pleased his fancy more than to see the
cloud-shadows scud away across the
sands. Once, toward the latter end
of day, Fortune cried out and pointed.
Far away, palely yet distinctly, they
saw a. ocean liner She stood out
against the following sky as a magic
lantern picture stands out upon the
screen, and faded similarly. 1t was
the one and only mirage they saw, or
at least noticed.
Once another caravan, composed
wholly of Arabs, passed. What hope
the prisoners had was instantly
snuffed out Before the strangers
came within hailing, Mahomed hustled
his captives into his tent and swore
he would kill either George or Ryanne
if they spoke. He forgot Fortune,
however. AS the caravan passed she
screamed. Instantly Mahomed clapped
his hand roughly over her mouth. The
sheik Of the passing caravan looked
keenly at the tent, smiled grimly and
passed on. What was it to him that
white woman lay in yonder tent? His
one emotion was of envy. After this
the prisoners became apathetic.
Upon the seventh day, they wit
messed the deserts terrifying anger.
The air that had been cool, suddenly
grew still and hot; the blue above
began to fade, to assume dusty, cop
perish color. The camels grew rest
less. Quickly there rose out of the
horizon saffron clouds, approaching
with incredible swiftness. Little
whirlwinds of sand appeared here
and there, rose and died as if for
want of air. Mahomed veered the car
AVIAN toward a kind of bluff composed
of sand and precipitous boulders. All
the camels were made to kneel. The
boys muffled up their mouths and
noses, and Mahomed gave instruc-
tons to his captives. Fortune buried
her head in her coat and nestled down
beside her camel, while George and
Ryanne used their handkerchiefs.
George left his camel and sought For
tunes side, found her hand and held
it tightly. He scarcely gave thought to
what he did. He vaguely meant to
encourage her; and possibly he did.
The storm broke. The sun became
lobscured. Pebbles and splinters of
rock sang through the pail Of whirling
sand. A golden tone enveloped the
little gathering.
Had there been no natural protec-
ton, they must have ridden on, blind
ly and desperately, for to have re-
manned still in the open would have
been to await their tombs. 1t spent
it's fury in half an hour; and the
clearing air became cold again. The
icaravan proceeded. The hair Of ev-
cry one was dimly yellow. their faces

ESTIMATED PRESENT COST OF
BUILDING A PYRAMID.

A contractor with a head for fig
ures and building estimates has work
ed out that the Cheops pyramid, in
Egypt, could not be duplicated for
less than S100,O00,O0O. With modern
machinery and the employment of 49,
600 stonecutters, haulers, quarrymen,
masons and laborers, a duplicate of
the pyramid could be erected in two
years. 1t has been calculated that
the work really required the serv-
ices of 100000 men for 80 years. The
Cheops pyramid occupies a space of
127 acres, and is TAG feet high.
