Dave Ball Not a Quitter. 4 7 | It seems that the Republican pa- pers of the State are working over time to make it appear thata split in the Democratic party in Missourt fa, if not an eatablished fact, at least avery real probability. The latest * that we have seen, fs to the effect that the Bail men will support Had | ley for Governor.

Second—The failure of the Republi can congress to pase a bill providing for publicity of campaign contribu: tons and the refusal of the Republi- can convention even to endorse the reform. Third—The failure of the Republt- can congress to passa postal sav- ings bank bill and the hypocrtay of the party in endorsing this reform, which tt had just ignored in congress. Fourth—The passage by the Re publican congress of a currency bill which enables speculative banks to convert allsorts of securities into currency and actually reduces the margin of safety for depositors in- stead of {ucreaging It. Fifth—Thie destruction of represen: tative government in the lower house where the Republican speaker and his committee on rules have all power and not even a majority can ges a vote on @ popular bill if the speaker refuses consent. Sixth—The forty-nine per cent {n- creage fn the cost of living under the Repubhcan Dingley tariff and its trusts, while wages have increased only nineteen per cent. Seventh—The refusal of the Repub- lican congress to amend this tariff although ite {niquities are admitted and future revision has been reluc- tantly promised by ite friends after the storm fs over. Elghth—The notorious fact admit- ted by Senator Aldrich, Republican leader in the senate, that American tariff protected concerns sell their products abroad in competition with European factories at lower prices than they exact from American con- sumere and the refusal of the Repub- Hcan house of representatives to adopt anamendment to have our government agents report on these prices. Nintt—The Republican leaders pre- tend they favor a tariff sufficient only to compensate factories for the difference between labor cost in America and abroad, but the fact is that the Republican tariff is more than sufficient to pay the whole la- bor cost.
