to show that at least srme of the gold or

from now until the congie**ional elections

not to pay any attention to what they sco
In any but n free silver newspaper. and es
pecially puta them on their gua:d against
"•hat Hanna and his agonts are now do
ing In the way of corrupting the voters."
It can be imagined that to a Democrat of
this kind there never was such a vast con
spiracy In the history of the world to "cor
rupt the votera" as that man M -Kinky
and his myrmidons are now engaged in.
He and hts agents are busy in every cor
ner of the country seeking to influence
voters and to make them believe that
times are better than they wtre before the
return of the Republicans to power.
They do say that the tools of English
syndicates and of large mill-owning cor
porations are trying to delude the poor, un
sophisticated farmers of this country by
statement* in the newspaper* that tin y can
get more for their wheat now than they
could last year.
Some of these hirelings of Hanna even
go so far as to say that Bryan was mis
taken when he satd the election of Mc
kinley w.mld mean 3e-eent wheat In Kan
sas. and that the inauguration of the "Ad
vance Agent of Prosperity" would be fol
lowed by the most disastrous sea- >n tins
country has ever known.
We, too warn the farmers ngalnst being
d«« elved by these apparent signs of pros
perity. We warn them to make sure that
when they sell their wheat they do not
take 43 cents' worth of money and *7 c.-nts'
worth of flat, but Insist from those cor
morants who buy their wheat that they i«.
paid ICO cents on the dollar.
We. too, warn the worklngmen of this
country not to place their trust In what
they are told, but to rub th<«lr eyes and be
sure they are awake whan they R. t six
daya - pay In good, hard gold, e<iua! to the
beat money In the world, for six days' la
bor, and make sure they are not only
dreaming that the long spell of idleness
has ceased and they are now happy in
steady employment.

clerks and the "longshoremen to be on

The probaM] ty is that the Republican
party, ret ,rded solely as an aggregation
of Individuals, is no more entitled to cred.t
than the Populist-* or the E> mociata. but
ao weak and p»rww is human nature
that St would rather f*a«t With Dives at
the buqwt t»We than eat tie humble
crumb with the virtuous Lazarus on the
doorstep. Human nature has very Tittle
use for that kind of virtue which ia al
ways shabby and hungry, if it can asso

good fortune, which bring* with ft a good
dinß<r and food clothes. Th«-r? fat a ten
dency to nestle up with food luck, rather
than to be meek and walk with the un
fortunate.
Between the tendency of h'inun nature
and the crafty work of Repu .l;can policy,
it is gotng to be a hard task ta persuade
this people for the next two years to bo
good and to rote any but the Republican
ticket.
HILI'S GREAT FLA**.
Whes the Ranttle A Montana railroad
w*a being buiit by President Hill, there
were two extreme opinions expressed.
One was that luii'a {...ipo* was to make
a lot o! m n*-y by selling the stock of a
l|r.e eOn»t'U<-ted at a com
paratively small coat, but with only pro.»-
p*cii%e earnings; and the other was that
he h«»J sons* grand acneme in view which
he kept to himself.
The latter has long been aeen to be the
correct Sir. Hill has already ac
eompliscd wonders In the dullest of dull
times. When material was cheapest
and labor was plentiful because
of the scarcity of work, he
»ient miiiiens In construction, and
BO seicuro'd a railroad at probably the
lowest «wt per mile ever known under
like engineering conditions. When men
were despondent aa to the future and
timid about investment, he i.iw far ahead,
inspired his friends with hope and cour
a*> and himself planned for the reaction
hla Judgment calculated.
Mr, Hill is not a sanguine man whose
ratural volatility floats him easily over
difficulties or when# Irresponsible
a-lf-sailsfaction paints always a
roay future. He is a calcu
lating machine. He knowa noth
ing of sent; a«nt In business. Busce-pttble
as he is to appeals to his own pocket, he
never pe> rali.» an in\es;>.-d nickel to be di
verted from its duty of making more nick
els. Yet fttaUstks under his master hand
! • iome clothed with grace and the beau
ty of They fascinate by the
symmetry in which he arranges tht m, and
the life with which he Inspires them. His
fysb-m becomes a series of moving figures
evolving new designs and multiplying
them wives under his fecundating mind.
The project of making a trans-contlhea
ial railroad from the mills of the laka
ports, and a trans-Pacific steamship lino
from Seattle to the great Orient haa been
hinted at for a long time, but new It seems
near realisation. With a road from Chi
cago to St. Paul under control and the
operation of the roads from St. Paul west
so managed as to afford a profit with the
lowest possible freight rate, a formidable
railroad alliance Is formed. The object Is,
of course, to prtvent ruinous competition,
and to minimise cost of operation.
It I* rather singular that Ju*t as the
Interstate law and the pooling bill and
other measures In restriction of trade had
been put Into effect, a reaction has set In,
and some of those who were most vio
lently opposed to "combines and trusts"
are now lnaisting th*i: the coal operators
shall enter into an agreement to kre«p
prices up. If an agreement of that kind
U lawful and defensible when Its obJ<» t
Is to give better wages to labor, wNy
should It be unlawful and Indefensible
when its object is to insure dividends to
stockholders?
This has no direct bearing on the Y ro *
posed alliance, but It has indirectly. Pub
lic opinion is a powerful auxiliary and a
no less troublesome foe. and if the Inter
ests at large of this state are to be fos
tered- as they undoubtedly will be by Mr.
Hill's plans NMng successful—this Is the
time to suggest to public opinion that It
would not be wise to jt«opardix ■ the gen
eral welfare in the special Interest of any
one cl *ss.
President Hill has lud a very hard task
to perform in engineering conditions so
that wheat may b* sold to Japan anl
«'hina at a price lower than ri e. It rir
not be done except by the m -t Uilful
economy, and it Is not good policy to
harass him and block the progress of his
plans by petty objections. A smalt con
cession now may hasten the time wh«n
this city shall !>e one of the great port*
tf the world.
The dlt r'mlnating duty In favor of
American shipping, whose great impor
tance is not yet realised, means mor«* »o
flattie than !o any port in the
;«Mtes. It is as If a great I'aht had s i

better fsr this country, bat whether or
no' it !s u--"d for that purpos* St would af
forl security for -trmll sums. and it would
corf-r incalculable benefit
T*nl-r the proposed system the govern
ment wouid, jhrcigh its postolftces or
other aget«' receive deposits of money
within prescrli>ed limitations and issue
notes or certificates bearing a low rate of
interest. and they would be in the nature of
a loan to the government. The most impor
tant f"ar;-re of It wouid be that no sort of
financial disturbance ccaid ever impair the
safety of these hoardings, because the
faith of the g< vernment wouid be pledged
to thetr payment.
We do not believe that the establishment
of feU<-o a plan wouid Interfere with the
business of savings banks. They would
still r»e?:ve sums over a certain amount
Jtnd would l>e ai>ie to otter the inducement
of a higher rate of interest. The prob
a* flity is that the spread of means for ef
fecting savings in such a manner would
rather tend to emcourage habits of thrift,
and extend the uaefulne« of savings
barks No ordinary Institution in a small
v-.liag* could undertake, for instance, to
receive dimes or sums smailer than a
dollar. The cost of bookkeeping wouid
be too great and the opportunity for In
vestment of the money would be too lim
ited. The fact that savings banks %*ry sel
dom fail has very little to do with this
branch of the subject. It iE creditatle
to the management of savings banks that
they s-hould make so good a showing, but
they ca. .n:>t meet the particular demand
which a government savings institution
would supply. No private bank could
handle these petty savings to advantage,
ra r can overcome the objection to
and the fear of insecurity enteftalned by
those whoee savings being so small are
the mors precious to them.
There would be a responsibility on the
part of the government, It Is true, but
not more ao than that already borne
through the poatofßoe system In its
money order department «*nd in the sale
of atampn. It may be a repetition to re
t*r again to the postage stamp saving
method as It is called, but the better it
is understood the greater will be the
call for its uje. That method Is to have
postmasters sell tean-cent stamps which
shall be pasted in a depoalt book as a re
ceipt. The cost of stationery will be no
gieater than for an ordinary receipt, and
Ul the d. posltor n- ed do when he wanted
to wlthdruw money would be to have the
postmaster cancel and tear off the neces
sary numk r of stamps to represent the
amount withdrawn, and turn th< m into
the government aa hla voucher for the
payment. In ord*-r to prevent any mis
appropriation of money he might be re
sulted to buy those postage stamps from
the government in advance, being allow
ed a small commission for his additional
trouble, besides his compensation at» post
master.

panels, skillfully produced by the use of
richly tinted enamel, among them b**ii.g
representaS.on* of the Swedish and Ameri

mailed this same marked article to the
editor of the Chicago Tribune with the
following note:
"To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune:

his paper that there were only two cities
in the Middle West which amounted to
anything, via., Milwaukee and St. Louis."

Following is the extract from the Chi

"Whatfevar may be the fate of the gold
hunters bound for Ala-ka, it looks as if
the people of the state of Washington

that—for the masses-promises to surpass
Klondike itself. Dispatches from Taco

of the state, represent the crops there
as unnreced nttd in exceil» nee and abund

Portland is to find fault with
Seattle because the latter has outfitted six
men for the Yukon to her one. If she only
knew it, Portland Is fast losing a trade
more profitable than that of the Klondike.
Seattle is selling goods in large quantities
In the Willamette valley, even as far south
as Ashland, and the trade of Eastern Ore

sorbed by these same Seattle rustlers.
They are underselling and out-generaling

metropolis gets a move on, the grass will
