®lje ®emocrat. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3,1908.' $500,000,000.00 of Asset Currency. During the closing hours of the congresB which has just adjourned a bill. wa3 passed providing for the issuance of half a billion of new as ^feet currency and no shout was heard about fifty cent or ten cent dollars. Twelve years ago, when the demo crats proposed the coinage of silver dollars to relieve the money strin gency of that period, many of the men who voted last Saturday for 'the new asset currency measure called it dishonest to make possil such an increase in the circulating medium. Cleveland vetoed, and these publicans voted to sustain his veto, a bill permitting the coinage of $50,000,000,00 of silver bullion then owned by the government. Now they consider it advisable to provide for ten times fifty millions of new money based on paper assets And the circulating medium is now ,more than a third larger per capita than it was in 1896. The Wait Till After Election Excuse. The session of Congress, which will probably be a thing of the past before this comment is printed, has .brushed aside and continued practi cally all legislation for the common good. The advocates and friends of legislation beneficial to the masses have been met at all times by the republican leaders with the urgent .request: "Wait till after election." Why wait till after election? Is it because the republican party does not dare to offend "the interests," which are forever demanding Bpecial privileges at the common cost? No party should be kept in a position to control the legislation of this country, the policies of which are shaped in any way by the ene mies of the people. -The party de serving power should bo willing at all times to eiiact legislation needed to promote justice and protect hu man rights. ^The Real Cause of Present Inter Party If Contests. The movement to secure public regulation of corporate and preda-. tory wealtlT is responsible for the inter-party contests in both of the great parties of the country. The democratic party was the first to suffer on account of: the movement. *The man that that party made president turned against his party and did all in his power to destroy it, because his~party insisted upon the enactment of better laws -•for the.'protection' of the com- :. mon people. Cleveland and Ms plu taeratie followers succeeded in de feating the democratic party, but the movement remained to perplex and divide the republican party. It remained as every public question 1 must remain until it is settled right.: They would make lightning change artists go Bome, wouldn't they? \^hen the circulating med ium was not two-thirds as much per capita as at present, they were op posed to any increase. In their judgment or at any event in their talk, all that was needed was more confidence. But now they have abandoned their confidence theories, and to guard against A recurrence of the money panics of 1890 and 1907 they have made provision for an asset currency of half a billion. If they are honest now, were they honest 12 years ago? It is charitable to assume that they have learned something since 1890. No generation has a right to fet ter the future with perpetual fran chises. The present generation may think it best to grant franchises to private individuals and corporations to perform certain services for the public. The on coming generation may study cjutsome better way, and should have the right to terminate on equitable terms all contracts par taining to public services. Every corporation must be amen able to some sovereign. If not to state, then to tho national govern ment. There has heretofore been entirely too broad a "twilight land," a place where neither state nor nation seemed to have well delined .jurisdiction. This'110 law zone has too long been a place of refuge for big criminals. No matter how the primary eloc tion may go, it will Jeave the Iowa republican ship in a very leaky con dition. And it' will be many and many a day before the defeated faction will help to stop the leaks, pump the ship, or man the yards as it did in the days before the defeat of its senatorial candidate. The attempt of the New York World and the New York Sun to dictate democratic policies and dem ocratic nominess is diabolical im pudence and then some. These papers politically are plutocratic hirelings of the most dangerous type- There is No Twilight Zone Nation and State. Conference. Between 1 am a strict constructionist, if that means to believe that federal government is one of delegated powera and that constitutional limi tations should be carefully obser ved. 1 am jealous of any encroach ment upon the right of'the state, be lieving that the states are as indeE tructiblo as the union is indissolu ble. It is, however, entirely consis' tent with this theory to believe, as I do believe, that it is just as imper ative that the general government shall discharge the duties delega ted to it, as it is that the states shall exercise the powers reserved to them. There is no twilight zone be tween the nation and the state, in which exploiting interests can take refuge from both, and my observa tion that most—not all, but most— of the contentions over the line be tween nation and state are traceable to predatory corporations which are trying to Bhield themselves from de served punishment, or endeavoring to provent needed restraining legis lition.—W.

There is no do&bt. but that the churches of the city. iwill unite for evening union services during the months of July andAugust. The, meetings will be held In the various churches alternately and an arrange ment will be made between the pas tors as to how the preaching will be divided. This matter will meet with the approval of every church man and churchwoman in the city and it is to be hoped, that the sub ject of music will be considered as a prominent feature of such services. CONGREGATIONAL. All the Sunday services at the usual hours. The evening sermon will be given by Rev. H. W. Porter, pastor of the Union Congregational church, Des Moines. Nr. Porter is a young colored man, who is heroic ally building up a church among his own people. He is an interesting speaker and should be heard by a large audience.
