An Amiable Fellow.
As was ti have ten expected in
the case f an utterance mi reassuring
to the interests which they represent,
the protectionist newspapers through
out the union are loud in their praises
of that portion of President Roose
velt 's message which mildly advocated
a vague policy of reciprocity, says the
St. Louis republic.
These newspapers know well that
the trade-taxing tariff is absolutely
safe from any material reduction
through the operation of such recip
rocity treaties as are likely to be
sanctioned by the fifty-seventh con
gress. They hope also that a shrewd
manipulation of the reciprocity trick
will have the effect of deferring be
yond 1904 a fight before the people on
the issue of tariff revision.
If voters can be lead to believe that
tariff revision is practically accom
plished by means of reciprocity
treaties which in reality w ill cause no
genuine lowering of tariff schedules
the gain for the protectionists will tie
great and the cost little.
That President Roosevelt has been
so pliable to the will of the high
tariff trusts as even to stop this side
of the views held by the late Presi
dent. McKinley with regard to the
necessity for tariff revision is a cause
of the greatest rejoicing to protected
interests and protection organs. The
new president was not counted upon
as iH'ing so easily managed. There
was a grave apprehension in monopoly
circles that Mr. llonscvclt would deal
with the tariff and the trusts from
the point of view of the people who
pay the tariff tax which created and
now maintains trust monopolies. For
this reason his first message to con
gress was awaited with considerable
uneasiness on the part of the syn
dicates. Now. however, the prey' lent is
known to have yielded to party in
fluences demanding a republican
obedience of trust orders. The great
tariff-bred monopolies perceive that
their interests are safe until after
1904 at least. The continent-wide
chorus of praise of the president's
reciprocity utterance is voiced under
instruction from these monopolies.
They are, figuratively, patting the
president on the back and telling him
that he is an amiable fellow.
Judge by Fcts. i
Something like ten years ago Wil-!
liam J Stone took up the tight against
crpratii-ti influences in Missouri
politics and since that time he has
1k the especial target for the venom
of men who, in order to carry their
p lints, have not hesitated at any step,
whether it bore the mark of truth and
justice or whether It was based on
falsehood in the accomplishment of
their purposes. While righting undtr
cover for all these years, these lobby
ists and their willing assistants have
at last come out from the brush, so to
speak, and are now making an open
fight mi Stone and the democratic
administration of the state as damna
ble in its purposes and intents as was
the conspiracy to rob Kentucky of its
legally elected governor. True these
men are not resorting to the direct
methods of the assassin in so far as
the taking of human life is concerned,
but with them the assassination of
human character seems to be as trivial
as child's play. And seemingly they
would not hesitate to assassinate the
democratic party if that organization
continues to stand in the way of their
corrupt practices.
The especial w eapon w hich has leen
chosen with which to kill off Stone
and incidentally injure the state ad
ministration through a fight on Sam B.
Oook, was the Cardw ell deposition mill,
which was set to work grinding out ex
Parte grist at Independence. That
Cardwell was a secondary consideration
in this inquisition is plainly manifest,
iudsrinff from the evidence so far
adduced. Whatever the merits of Mr.
Cardw ell's contention and however
loud the protest as to lofty civic
motive in the matter, there was politics
all through it, smeared on so thickly
that a blind man could see.
Regardless of the fact that the
depositions taken at Independence
mav point to corrupt methods in
individual cases, we must judge the
democratic party by results.
If the brewers of Missouri con
tributed money to the democratic
campaign fund, that contribution did
not prohibit the passage of a bill tax
ing beer, the revenue from which
EXTRA
A Candidate tor Congress.
The Hon. C. W. Hamlin of Greene
county is in Lafayette county this
week looking after his interests in
connection with his candidacy for
congress and paid the Intelligent ek
a pleasant call Thursday afternoon.
Though a stranger to us heretofore in
so far as a grasp of the hand w as con
cerned, we have known Mr. Hamlin
by reputation for a long time and can
vouch for him as a gentleman and a
good democrat. For the past ten
years he has be 3n a practicing lawyer
at Springfield and has gone to the
front in the forum of that profession.
In case the Seventh district should
Bend him to congress theie is no doubt
but that he would reflect credit there
both upon his people and himself.
Mr. Hamlin talks modestly of the
situation. He moved from Polk into
Greene and when asked if he could
not depend on the vote of Polk, he
replied: "Logically I should be able
to do so. "
Mr. Hamlin's formal annonncement
as a candidate for congress will be
found at the usual place on the edito
rial page of this week's Intellioen
eh. he having honored Lafavette
county with the initial announcement
of his candidacy outside of his home
countv.
places $2."i0,ooo into the treasury
every year.
If W. II. Phelps and John 11. Car
roll, representing the Missouri Pacific
and Hurlington railroads, respectively,
placed money in the campaign fund of
the democrats it did not prevent the
passage by a democratic legislature,
over the hitter opposition of these self
same lobbyists, of a railroad and fel
low servant law.
If the trusts were plucked of money
with which to conduct a democratic
campaign, it did not prevent the
passage of a stringent anti-trust act
under which a democratic attorney
general throttled the insurance com
bine of the state.
If the Transit company of St.
Louis, through its alleged agent,
Judge Priest, and the Metropolitan
Street Railwav companv of Kansas
City, the latter the recent patron
sunt of Mr. Walsh, contributed to the
democratic campaign fund, their con
tributions were certainly not effective
when we consider the fact that a
democratic legislature passed a law
taxing franchises which added mil
lions to the assessed valuation of these
corporations.causing them to pay just
taxes which they had previously
avoided.
These are a few of the most impor
taut measures, but innumerable
others could be mentioned which are
ample contradiction of the charges
made bv Mr. Cardwell that legislation
was bought and paid for before the
legislatures convened, the central
committee being the agent through
which these unholy trades were con
summated. The facts are sufficient to
show that the democratic party In the
state has considered no campaign gift
as a bribe and has in no instance
betrayed the confidence of the people.

The St. Louis world's fair manage

A Missouri Colony.
The Missouri colony In Greater
New York for the first time held a
meeting a few days since and some
great surprises were the result of the
gathering. Men who had gone to
scInxjI together when lxiys had been
living in the same city for years, and
yet had never met. W. II. Russell,
many years ago editor of the Han
nibal Journal, was one of t hose pres
ent. Mr. Russell is now practicing
law in the metropolis and is the
author of several law lxjoks. While
on the Journal at Hannibal Russell
had the reputation of being the
ugliest newspaper man in Missouri,
but at the same time one of the
brightest.
Rumor has it that W. J. McQuittv
is to buy the Jefferson City Press and
conduct it as an anti-administration
newspaper. Mr. Meruit ty was usher
at the penitentiary during the
Stephens administration.
