Sr. PauL, Aug. 28, 1899. It is impossible to repress the feeling of confidence and enthusiasm, with which the general political situation is to be viewed. There is substantial agreement, among all the allied forces, which, if signs fail not, will be of one victorious ind next year. Our agri- cultural producers see in lowering prices of all they have to sell, and the forced rises of all that they must buy, the bitter fulfillment of the inevitable, under the prevailing system, that leaves them in competition with silver- using countries. Labor is aroused to the danger of being crushed by the power of organized monopoly, which has only to manifest its needs, to have the mil- itary at beck and call to enforce their oppressions. The prevailing strikes show that labor appreciates the dangers of the hour. Our foreign born population are especially appre- hensive of the drift, in this land of the free, to imperialism and autocratic power. This applies with special force to German-Americans, Irish-Americans and our citizens of Scandinavian strain. It is now certain that we shall retain this support largely for the next year, whether the administration persists in its wretched course, or is forced by public sentiment and the fear of defeat to change it. These things, among ners, coupled with the fact that we national leader who seems to e been raised up for the sole pur- pose of saving the American Republic, must give to the united forces of the regenerated Democracy a courage and an enthnsiasm which will sweep all before it. Mr. Bryan thus sizes up the situatior: “‘Democ: c success in 1900, is becom- : more and more certain.” Nebraska follows Iowa in uniting all of the reform forces against the gop- pites. The allied forces will prove an invincible army with banners. What a commentary on the pulpit, that while the masses of the Republi- cans are deserting the administration on its Philiy pine policy, the truly loyal clergy, for the most part, continue to understand the last words of the “Prince of Peace” as ‘Go ye into all the world, and shoot the gospel into every creature.” Since Otis’ censorship was renewed there have not been so many reports of burned churches, shot riddled crosses and desecrated altars. Or have opera- tions been interfered with by the rainy season? If Dewey is not talking, somebody ying some very proper things of St. Paul Globe, in an article Man and the Hour,” pays a trib- ute to Dewey that is heartily seconded by all. but such recognition they regard as military and uot political. There is quite another man for this “hour,” and his name i/Bryan. And what Bryan has done politically, to win this leadership and admiration, is quite the counterpart of Dewey's glorious trophies for American arms and glory. What Dewey did against a wicked and oppressive foreign power, Bryan is doing against the enemies of our national peace and prosperity, and an equally wicked and oppressive money power. Otis will censor the Chinese out of the Philippines, but he cannot prevent the Filipinos from coming here to com- pete with labor, after they are become “subjugated” American citizens, Hanra {s said to be intending to pur- chase a stud of fast horses. He will need them next year. Eltweed Pomery of New Jersey, the great authority on direct legislation, has been spending a few days in the Twin Cities. The principle he represents, certainly seems to be marching on. State after state is adding it to the list of doctrines of the true Democracy. This year’s state board of equaliza- tion is looked to as none has been for years. It has been called to meet with Governor Lind, who is, ex-officio, the head of the board, at the state capitol, on Tuesday, Sept. 5. The board is thus composed, as appointed by the governor: First district, F. I. Johnson. Second district, Joseph McKibben, St. Paul. Third district, J. G. Lawrence, Wa- basha. Fourth district, Frank McMillan, Min- neapolis. th district, L. S. Peck, Kasson. L. O. Ulverstead, Fi Sixth district, Grogan. Seventh district, C. W. Sprague, Sauk ter. i CGishth district, Mathias Nachbar, Jor- dan. Ninth district, Linden. Yenth district, Thomas J. Meighan, Ofrestville. Eleventh district, J. E. Cooley, Duluth. { Twelfth district. Ola Lee, Montevideo. Thirteenth district, A. O. Hendricks, Adrian. Fourteenth district, J. E. Ostrok, War- Gudmand Anderson, ren. Fifteenth district, W. Potter, Aitkin. Sixteenth district, H. W. Daley, Morris. Seventeenth district, Alexander Fiddes, Jackson. Fifteenth district, Charles Judkins, Princeton. The ex-officio members are Governor Lind, Attorney General Douglas and State Auditor Dunn. And when the board meets it would be a good plan to open the proceedings by reading the following recent words of W. J. Bryan: “At present the government can draft the citizen, but cannot draft the pocketbook. Slowly but surely the dollar is being exalted and the man de- based. Justice in taxation must be- stored.” The street fair is abroad in the land. and next week all hands will unite in Mr. Randall’s‘af-Fair on the state fair grounds. Let every man, woman and child in the state who can get there, get there. It is the general agreement -that not in the history of the department of in- surance has there been a more vigorous or able administration than is being given by Commissioner J. A. O’Shaugh- nessey. The number of fake insurance schemes that the department has run to earth and saved the people from is con- siderable. Numerous such schemes under the guise of mutual benefit socie- ties have been brought to time. In the case of one of these, the commissioner found that 40 per cent of pecuniary profits to officers should be returned, it having been charged to ‘‘expenses” and thus being unlawfully taken, which case is now in the hands of the attorney general for action. The latter official recently sustained action taken by Commissioner O’Shaughnessey in the case of the Realty Revenue com- pany of Minneapolis, which sought to escape the insurance laws. The attorney general finds in that case thatif the company desires to transact business in Minnesota as advertised in its pamph- let, literature and contracts, ‘it should qualify under the laws, and that if it does not do so, or any of its agents, it violates the laws and will be subject to arrestand prosecution.” Thisis business. The dairy, insurance, game and fish, educational, military, in fact each and every department of the Lind adminis- tretion, is making a record to be proud of, and tomeet the approval of the people. Ramsey county Democrats are in the saddle, completing the effectiveness o: the city and county organization, and in the early fall will be commenced the holding of frequent meetings in the wards, with a general meeting some time in October. Organization and work are the thing. Poor Van Sant. The goppite wire pullers have not the slightest intention of permitting him to be nominated. They are tricking him in Hennepin by the use of Bob Evan’s name. It looks like the Eustis game over again. Van is a good fellow, and entitled not only to sympathy, but to have his eyes opened. Where's the spittle? “Col. Sellers” based his faith in his “eye water.” on the fact that 10,000,000 of people in Asia had sore eyes.. There was “millions in it.” Bat what a chance for sale of an eye opener among Minne- sota politicians. .There’s Van Sant, Collins, Clapp, Heatwole, Bixby, Evans jand all the rest. Who'll ty? Al | Should buy! The Aitkin Age, one of the stiffest of the G. O. P. papers, administers the following rebuke to the goppite abusers of Governor Lind: “Governor Lind and Superintendent of Banks E.-M. Pope are coming out of the St. Paul Savings bank difficulties |with flying colors. The turn affairs have taken makes the St. Paul Dispatch jand Minneapolis Tribune look very j much like thirty cents. It pays to‘ve | fair, gentlemen.” The Minneapolis Journal has its weekly reference to the ‘Democratic howl” about prices—that we wanted them raised, and now complain that they are high. The Journal cannot blind its readers, We want high prices of products of the soil, on which de- pend the returns for labor. The Re- publican policy reverses the case, giv- ing high prices for all that our produc- ers must buy, and lower for all that they have to sell. The trust and com- bine give the one, the gold standard causes the other. Both have got to go. Chief Inspector Reishus is daily giv- ing proof that the right man was select- ed as Clausen’s successor. He has hon- esty, courage, ability. He is wisely chosing his assistants. In fact those who pretended to think that the de- partment would cease, with Clausen’s departure, are in courtplaster. Busi- ness is being done at the old stand. Governor Lind has now completed eight months of administration. In the time quite a number of moss-covered Republican barnacles have been dis- pensed with. A few remain who can be spared as wellas not. They will be allowed to depart, and without regret. Attorney General Douglas unquali- fiedly approves the position maintained by Governor Lind, that there is no war- rant of law for expending state money, for the return of the Thirteenth. An agreeable feature of Governor Lind’s administration has been the courteous manner iu which, up to this point, he has been treated by the Re- publican attorney general, in painstak- ing and conscientious discharge of duty by that official. ‘ HAVE YOU —heard of the Twins—that they’re at it— Haloed St. Paul, and Minnie, the fair?

It Is Simply the Old Union of Lombard Street and Wall Street for the Same Old Purpose, Wholesale Robbery — A Fair Explanation. The New York World has never yet made a record for championing square- ly the cause of the people against Wall street schemes, but it occasionally hits a good blow on the right side. The World, like all of the other stall-fed New York papers, supports the thiev- ing single gold standard; but in its issue of a recent date it contained an exposure of gold standard plans and methods, the knowledge of which will go far toward defeating them. The scheme is to use the American taxpay- ers in aiding the Rothschild octopus to get a firm grip upon the throats of the hundreds of millions of Chinamen. February 1, 1899, was thirty-five days after Mr. McKinley had issued his un- lawful proclamation to the Filipinos which made war in the Philippines in- evitable—the proclamation that falsely alleged, first, that the United States had assumed sovereignty over the Fil- ipinos; second, that the Filipinos were to have no voice in determining their form of government or their political rights; third, that they must submit without question and must become the passive objects of a “benevolent as- similation.” , On February 1—thirty-five days after Mr. McKinley had thus unlawfully at- tempted to make us an Asiatic power whether we willed or no—the British and Chinese Corporation, Limited, and the American-China Development com- Pany entered into an agreement of which the following is the most start- ling among the many startling clauses: “Each party hereunto shall use their best endeavors to obtain the support of the government of their respective countries to the common undertaking of the parties expressed in these pres- ents, and to render all such mutual as- sistance to each other in the further- ance of their common enterprise in the empire of China as circumstances may require, it being the intention of these presents that, so far as practicable and Possible, the parties hereto shall act in alliance and together in all under- takings obtained or prosecuted by other or both in the empire of China, wheth- er both parties shall participate in the business or not.” What are these two corporations? They are two organizations, one of Englishmen, the other of Americans, which have obtained from corrupt and unpatriotic Chinese officials conces- sions which in effect make China as- sign to them all the essential rights of sovereignty over the richest, the most densely populated, the most fa- vorably located part of the Chinese em- pire—a territory vast in extent, bound- Jess in resources. That is, these two organizations have obtained by corrupt methods from corrupt Chinese officials rights and privileges which extinguish Chinese sovereignty in the most desir- able part of the Chinese empire. Who are in these corporations? In the English corporation, according to its official statement, we find: “Such great banking houses as the Rothschilds, the Barings, the Sasoons; several of those great colonial exploita- tion companies, partly commercia] and partly banking, in which the most in- fluential public men in England are in- terested—the great families, the great politicians, the members of the cabinet and of both houses of parliament; John Walter, who controls the London Times, the great organ of British im- perialism that is ever urging the spending of British blood and British money in promoting private commer- cial enterprises.” In the American corporation, accord- ing to its official statement, we find: “Representatives of most of the great banking houses of this country, including J. P. Morgan & Oo., Brown Bros., Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Vermilye & Co., the Vanderbilts and the Rockefel- lers, Senator Don Cameron, Tom Plau, Henry Wolcott, Thomas F. Ryan, An- thony Brady, Marcellus .Hartley, Levi P. Morton, Edward J. Berwind of the Coal trust, Julius Stursberg of the Sugar trust, Frederick P. Olcott of the Central Trust company, James Still- man of the great and powerful Stand- ard Oil bank, Clement Griscom of the International Navigation company (American line), Arthur Sewall of Maine, Carnegie Steel company, ete., etc.” That is, the British corporation is composed of the men who direct and only too often use the British govern- ment for their private ends under the plea of “glory,” and the American cor- poration is composed of the men who are most influential with the McKinley administration, who contributed vast sums to the McKinley campaign of 1996 and to whom the McKinley syndicate looks for most valuable aid in 1900. It was the men composing the Brit- ish corporation who brought England to the verge of war with Russia a few months ago. All will remember how Mr. Walter, disguised as the London Times, thundered. All will remember how difficult certain members of his cabinet made it for Lord Salisbury to keep the peace. And now our syndicators are “fee]- 4ng the public pulse” for Mr. McKinley to see how the people will take a pro- posal that our government interfere in China to enforce a corrupt concession and to establish a protectorate in China to enable these syndicators to enrich themselves. What have the United States to gain by interference in China? Do we want a part of the Chinese empire, which if we took it would al- ready be a “vested right,” a private possession of a small group of Ameri- can syndicators? Can we in honesty interfere in the sovereign Chinese state to enforce a corrupt contract which China ought to repudiate for her own sake? Shall we expend American money and perhaps American blood in obtaining for a few of our private cit- izens a monopoly which cannot possi- bly benefit the masses of our people, since all the trade chat results will be in the hands of the monopolists? Shall we become the money to pull chestnuts out of the fire for a group of syndica- tors in this country and for the group of syndicators that controls to a great extent the aristocratic class-govern- ment of England? Is it not rather the truth, as Mr. Choate said the other day, that we are on friendly terms with all nations and propose to remain so? Is it not a mat- ter of indifference to us what nation is dominant in China, since, no matter what nation it may be, we can sell the Chinese all the goods they want, if our goods and our prices are tke best? The publication of its plans and pur- poses by the “pulse-feeling” syndicate sweeps away the last veil before those secret springs that have been impell- ing the administration to draw the American republic awey from its splendid natural destiny and to drag it up those toilsome, blood-stained steps of imperial tyranny to “glory-crowned heights.” At last we understand the frantic enthusiasm in certain quarters for an “Anglo-American alliance against the rest of the world.” The “glory-crowned heights” are at last in full view. Upon them we see a people sweating and toiling, paying enormous taxes and pouring out their blood to enrich syndicators and mon- opolists, Mr. McKinley and his friends have their fingers at the public pulse. Does it respond to their shout for glory and patriotism and meddling in China? POINTS FROM THE PRESS. The street car strikes at Brooklyn and Cleveland have apparently ended. We cannot learn that the strikers gained anything except experience,and that does not seem to teach them any- thing. If the men would be as unani- mous at the ballot box as they are at a strike their energy might amount to something.—People’s Press, The evils of government by injunc- tion are very well illustrated by the sit- uation in Kansas City. Two injunc- tions have been issued. One directs the sheriff to stop the importation of for- eign labor during the continuance of the present labor troubles. The second, which comes from another court, re- strains the sheriff from interfering in any way with such importation. Thus no matter what the sheriff may do in the matter, whether he permit the im- portation of labor or seek to prevent it, he will be guilty of contempt of court, —Winnemucca Silver State, Dee es weet “Disperse, ye rebels, disperse!” That has a familiar sound. It is a command of Gen. Otis to the Filipino rebels, or was it said more than a century ago by a British officer to some New England rebels who had concluded they would like to do what the Filipinos wish to do—have self-government?—Democrat, Johnstown, Pa. It has just been decided that De- troit cannot acquire her street rail- ways, because there is a clause in the Michigan constitution which prevents it. Reform in constitution-making is one of the radical needs of the times. Constitutions are the bulwarks of monopoly and special privileges, in- stead of being safeguards of the peo- ple’s rights. There should be nothing in a constitution except a skeleton of the form of government and a bil] of rights. The prohibitions which they are lumbered up with, are born of the fear that the people might do some- thing they ought not to do, but the people can better be trusted than the average constitutional convention, to protect their own rights.—Jerry Simp- son’s Bayonet. y Gold contractionists say that gold alone is honest money. Gold has doubled in value during the past twen- ty-five years. Therefore, if a man locked $2,000 worth of gold in a safe twenty-five years ago it would now purchase property which at the hegin- ning of the time would have com- manded $4,000 in gold. Can money be honest that, locked up in a safe, will steal the property of another and transfer it to the owner of the money? —National Watchman. ‘When thieves agree let honest inen peware. The alliance of British-Amer- ican monopolists threatens us as well as the Chinese.—Wilmington (Del.)

Same as Ever. “¥ickle-hearted creature!” she said; “when I was a girl you thought the world of me.” Replied he, “It is you have changed, not I. I still love the girls as warmly as ever.” AN INFAMOUS POLICY. A Washington dispatch says: “As & result of conferences held within the last week it has been determined that the currency legislation to be submit- ted to the next congress shall contain not only a declaration for the gold standard, but an enactment which shall put it out of the power of any president or secretary of the treasury to inter- fere with the standard. At the pres- ent time the country is on a gold standard and has been since 1879, but this is a matter of discretion on the part of each succeeding administration. The law permits payment in ‘coin,’ which may be either gold or silver at the option of the government. It has been decided to change this so as to compel the government to redeem its obligations in either gold or silver at the option of the creditor. Coupled with this will be legislation to keep silver on a parity with gold by inter- changeable redemption, entirely aside from the commercial value. The party leaders have concluded that not merely a declaration for the gold standard, but its actual enactment into law, not to be changed except by congress with executive approval, is the best pos- sible issue on which to meet the soft- money Democrats and Populists next year, and if present plans are followed, this honest fulfillment of the beliefs of the Republican party will be placed on the statute books for the express pur- pose of provoking a clear-cut fight on the question of the standards. The currency scheme proposed by the house caucus committee is likely to be changed by the senate in important particulars, but the gold standard idea, Joined with the use of both gold and silver, will be agreed to by both houses,” Of ‘course the conference above re- ferred to was a Republican conference. No other political organization in the world would be guilty of such an ab- solutely infamous plicy. For more than a generation the holders of government bonds have been bleeding the people of the United States without let or hindrance. Investing originally less than $1,400,- 000,000 (gold value) in bonds, they have already drawn more than three times that amount in principal and in- terest (all in gold) and still hold more than enough bonds to purchase as much of the products of labor as their original investment would have pur- chased. And yet they are not satisfied. They want to remove the last doubt about their bonds ever being paid in anything but a gold dollar, The first step in the infamous policy of robbery was the enactment of the public credit act, which made the bonds payable in coin, instead of greenbacks. To still further re-enforce the publtc credit act, the refunding bill of 1870 was passed, under which outstanding bonds were exchanged for new bonds, which bore upon their face a stipula- tion that the bonds should be paid in coin. This, of course, meant silver coin as well as gold coilz. To make it especially gold coin, silver was demon- etized in 1873. And yet there was still an option left with the government to pay either gold or silver. But as every secretary of the treasury since the days of John Sherman’s first term as secre- tary has been a tool of the bondholders the option has been waived and the coupon-clipper has taken his choice— which, of course, was gold, - This policy of the treasury depart- ment has been in direct violation of all law, common and statutory, for thou- sands of years—for the law has ever given the debtor the option. And now it is proposed to put upon the statute books a law which shall forever clinch the infamous policy of robbery which has characterized every administration since the close of An- drew Johnson's term, March 4, 1869. And the fool people will throw up their hats and hurrah for the gold standard.—Col. S. F. Norton. Of course the fool people will shout for the gold standard, but it is as yet by no means certain that the fools wil) be in the majority next year. The Supply of Currency. “So scarce is the local supply of cur- rency,” says the financial reporter of a New York daily, “that it is likely that New York will have to ship gold to the West and South to move the crops, provided the demand for that purpose is equal to former years.” If that is the situation now, what will it be when the greenbacks are all retired, and bonds issued in their stead! The loss of the greenbacks will make one hole in the present insufficient money supply; the interest to be paid on the newly-issued bonds will make anotber, and the New York gold brok- ers must be depended upon to furnish the people with the circulating medium which they should furnish themselves. Ia it likely that the people will be bet- ter off as their necessities become greater and the means of supplying them are made less?—San Francisco Star. ‘ The Soup Theory in Danger, When Edward Atkinson of Boston was arguing that a working man should support himself on a soup bone and a peck of corn meal per week, the daily press was full of laudatory ex- clamations, such as “profound philoso- pher,” “careful investigator,” “wise and kind-hearted adviser of the poor,” etc. Now that the apostle of burgoo has espoused the cause of the Filipinos and angered some of his erstwhile friends, the same press thinks him a “pestiferous agitator,” an “addle-pated fool, loaded down with ‘lly thought-out theories.” We will yet see his soup hobby jeered at by some “respectable” journal—Typographical Journal, -_ The Noble Animal. ‘Trader—Don’t you want to sell that horse?
