OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
THURSDAY, : • AUGUST 20, 1903
The United States government is
uot making much progress in the
matter of building the Panama
canal; but the salaries of a lot of
good republican office-holders are
going on all the same, so they are
satisfied that the statu quo shall
indefinitely continue.
And now the hankers have made
a demand that the money order
Bystem shall be turned over to the
banks, and that the government
shall go out of the business of
furnishing the people, of the coun
try a safe and cheap medium of
exchange.
Even the hankers are dissatisfied
with the gold standard and are
fearful of a panic in the near fu
ture. Stocks and bonds are rapid
ly depreciating in value, and even
real estate has taken a tumble in
If this were a democratic
price.
administration these things would
be referred to by republicans as a
democratic panic.
It sems as though the Spokesman
Review has just awakened to the
fact that Idaho county has some
mines somewhere within her limits.
It now praises them iu a lavish
manner. However, it is easily
accounted for as there are not only
a few, but a great many influen
tial Spokane men becoming inter
ested in some of the liest mineH
that promise to enrich owners and
stock holders.
We have had seven years of re
publican administration and the
gold standard, but the financial
question is as far from settlement
as ever and a special session of
congress is to be called to give the
bankers a "rubber" currency. The
bankers claim the supply of money
is insufficient to transact the busi
ness of the country, and therefore
they are demanding asset currency,
whereby they will be enabled to
issue bank notes based upon rail
road bonds, Btate end municipal
securities, mining stocks and chipH
and whetstones of all kinds, the
character of the security is imma
terial—to the banks—so long as
they can issue their notes, which
the people can borrow by paying
the usual rate of interest.
There is one very simple way by
which the circulating medium of
the United States can he increased
without risk to anybody, and great
ly to the benefit of everybody, and
that is by opening the mints of the
country to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. The gold hugs
may squirm as they wish, but soon
or late they have got to come hack
to the hard money system under
which the country prospered for
ninety years. Put this iu your
pipe and smoke it.
President RooseVelt has written
Gov. Durbin of Indiana, a long let
ter denouncing lynch law, and ar
guing that the remedy for mob law
is the speedy trial of all criminals
by the courts and the elimination
of all technicalities resorted to by
lawyers to clear their clients.
However, a little object lesson
on the part of Gov. Durbin might
have a highly salutary effect. He
is still protecting within the con
iines of the State of Indiana, Ex
Governor Taylor, a fugitive from
justice, under indictment in Ken
tucky for conspiring to assassinate
his political rival, Senator Gobel.
Gobel was shot down in cold blood
by a man secreted in the executive
building occupied by Gov. Taylor,
Secretary of State Caleb Powers,
anil other republican state office
holders. It lias been conclusively
demonstrated by the evidence that
the assassin was one of rtwoutlaws
invited to assemble at Frankfort
by Gov. Taylor to aid him in hold
ing his office in ease the legislature
should decide that Goltel had liven
It has been prove« that
■elected.
the murderer was given a pardon
b}' Gov. Taylor for another crime,
aud was promised a pardon for tbe
killing of Goliel. After the diabol
ical plot had been consumtUc'l the
assassii was aided to escape tiy
Gov. Taylor's mountain riflemen ^
aud would probably have been giv
full pardon according to agree- '
»meut had not Gov. Tayior been
forced to abdicate and flee fron, tfi«
state owing |u the horror and in- j
diguatiou that the cowardly assas- »
«eu a
I
si nation arouHed among decent
people.
After fleeing from the state of
Kentucky as a fugitive from jus
tice, Taylor went first to see his
friend, Gov. Roosevelt, wlio had
shown his sympathy shortly liefere
the assassination by sending Tay
lor a telegram of congratulation on
his courage in holding on to the of
fice to which he had not been elect
ed. After a few weeks of protec
tion in New York, Taylor went to
Philadelphia anil attended the re
publican national convention,
where he received a great ovation
when he appeared in the hall*
Later, he went to Indiana, where
he has since remained under the i
protection of Gov. Durbin, who re
fuses to recognize the extradition
papers issued by the authorities of
the sister state of Kentucky.
No man has ever done mere to
encourage crime and contempt of
the constituted authorities, of the
country, both state and federal,
than Taylor,'unless it is Durbin,
who has given aid and comfort to
this red-handed murderer and thus
has given encouragement to assas
sins everywhere. If Roosevelt and
Durbin are sincere in their written
desires to curb the spirit of lawless
ness and lynch law, they should
not longer refuse to honor the
requisition of Gov. Beckham for
the return of fugitive Taylor to
Kentucky for trial. That he would
have a fair trial is proven by the
fact that his fellow conspirator,
Caleb Powers, is now being given
his third opportunity to prove his
innocence of the crime for which
he has twice been convicted.
President Roosevelt should write
another letter to Gov. Durbin re
questing him to send Taylor hack
to Kentucky for speedy trial in the
duly constituted courts of the state.
Preaching without practice is
vaiu, but it is just like Roosevelt.

There is no question but that
many of the patriots of the revo
lutionary era took no stock in Jef
ferson's theory of the equality of
rights in all men, and though
Hamilton was the leader of that
faction, there were many others of
great intlnence who held similar
views and made much headway
during Adams' administration; but
the influences of Jefferson, Madi
son and Monroe during the 'J4
years they administered the gov
ernment of the United States con
vinced the people that democracy
was better than aristocracy. So
that although Biddle was able to
control the country largely through
the "United States hank,"—which
Jefferson said was contrived as au
engine to strengheu the federal
party in its "monarchial tenden
cies," the great conflict between
the money power with the aid of
the bank, and the democracy un
der Goneral Jackson, resulted in
favor of the democracy. But the
enemies of democracy and the
friends of special privilege never
gave up their purpose, and ns long
as Jeffersou lived he stood against
them.
Jefferson stood solidly against
centralization to the end.
works are full of warning against
the tendencies of the federal party.
Time and again he warned the
people against giving the banks
the power to issue money,» saying:

Although Mr. Lincoln was never
mi enrolled democrat, and was
much more of a centralist than
Jefferson, yet the party which
nominated him in 18(10 declared in
its first national convention that
the object of its being was to
"bring the government back to the
principles of Jefferson and the
principles laid down by the declar
ation of independence." Opinions
may differ as to the course pursed
by Lincoln during his first admin
istration, regarding his suspension
of the writ of habeas corpus, his
imprisonment of men without trial
during the civil war, yet on the
other hand we find him totally op
posed to a government by trusts,
and similar sentiments and policies
which the republican party has
adopted .since bis death. For in
1804 he said: "Asa result of the
war, corporations have been en
throned and an era of corruption
in high places will follow; the
money power of the country will
endeavor to prolong itH reign by
working on the prejudices of the
people until all wealth is aggregat
ed in a few hands and the republic
is destroyed."
.No student of the life of Lincoln
believes that if Lincoln were alive
today he would affiliate with the
republican party. Apart from the
issues arising out of the war Lin
coln was in till particulars in full
sympathy with the democratic
party of today. With prophetic*
eye he saw the carnival of greed on
the part of the money power with
which this country is now cursed,
and the corruption in every de
partment of the government which
is its legitimate outgrowth. And
iu spite of all that is said to the
contrary, the great mass of the
common people of these United
States believe in the principles of
Jefferson as ardently as ever. The I
elections of 189(5 and 1900 show
where the common people stand,
In both these campaigns nothing j
but the lavish expenditure of cor
motion funds, running into mil
lions of dollars, saved these elec
tions for the republican party.
With tlu* colored vole eliminated a
great majority of the white people
of the United States stand for
democracy.
