The McKinley bill is a snag which the
republican lenders have struck that is bound
to work untold inisceief with the party as at
present constituted. That it is an honest
eitempt to carry out the leading and prom
inent measure embodied in the National
platform of the party by the leaders who
really believed in the theory of protection
run r.,ad, will, in yiew of the efforts of
McKinley and those of his party who hold
the reins of control, r.ot be doubled. But
the Senate has shown a determination to
halt the measure and submit it to critical
examination through which it will never
pass shape that its parents will know
their own offspring. When Senator Plumb
ol Kansas demanded that the bill should be
submitted to the deadly parallel column in
which the increase over the present tariff
by the new bill should be shown and the
reasons given for the changes, the motion
meant death to the measure.
Butterworlh denounced the bill as a mo
nopoly tariff, in the House, and Plumb in
the Senate was supported in his cold blood
ed move to prove by the deadly parallel
column that the bill is surely that. The
West is growing more and more opposed to
the high and ever ascending higher tariff
doctrines that the present leaders of the
pai ty have run mad with. The farmers’
organizations. Alliance, Grange, Wheels
and the Knights of Labor claiming to have
4,000,000 members, all are turning away
from, and publishing resolutions against,
tariffs virtually prohibitive. The agricul
tural papers are speaking out in no uncer
tain tones against, not the McKinley bill
only, but are discussing and condemuing
the protective system which after a thorough
trial of 30 years, the farmers find themselves
on the verge of bankruptcy.
The efforts to force the measure through
revealed the desperation of the situation.
The step had been taken which led up to
a logical termination that the McKinley
bill embodied, and when the people are
brought face to face with the cold facts they
find that they are not what they in a dreamy
nebulous kind of way thought was meant by
“our protective policy.” The party may
be said to be noucommital on all other
questions but this. It has straddled the
liquor question, and is now trying to strad
dle the money question, has run aground
on the pension question, and if the “pro
tective policy” is stranded in the McKinley
tariff what is left to hold together on? The
republican party is made up very largely of
intelligent, pushing and what is termed the
better class (a dangerous class to fool with)
who are divided among the great organiza
tions which are demanding radical reforms,
and surcease from the hand of monopoly
and the money power, which have captured
and held in their control ’the party since it
emergen from the war of the rebellion. The
conditions which confront us have forced
this fact to the fore and the masses of the
party are realizing what heretofore they
have stoutly denied and resisted, that the
tariff is partial in its favors, and radical
reforms are demanded which conflict with
the monopolist and money class interests.
The very existence of the republican
parly is trembling in the balance. With
the new organizations crystalizing and pres
sing forward with clear cut demands, and
the murmur of dissatisfaction growing
louder against a tariff policy which mounts
higher aud higher to save manufacturing
industries which declare they must fall
unlesss total prohibition of foreign made
goods is decreed, while the agricultural
interest and all immediately depending on
it are sinking, is arrying a formidable op
position to the very theory of protection.
Protection of our home industries as un
derstood by the public, had for its object
the fostering of infant manufacturing enter
prises by a tariff on foreign goods, in order
to rprevent the low price of the foreign
article from breaking down the domestic
enterprise till it got fairly on its feet and
Was able to compete with foreign manufac
turers, when tire competition by domestic
manufacturers would lower the price to the
level of the world’s prices and a tariff for
“protection” become unnecessary. In prac
tice this has not turned out so and manu
facturers who are the tquals of any in the
world are demanding higher tariff taxes
against foreign competition than ever be
fore. Had this been foretold in the begin
ning the policy could never haye been
inaugurated.
On the other hand the democrat party
exult in whatever promises discomfort to
the republican party its great, mortal
enemy, but as to policy it has but a yery
vague and shadowy political ritual com
posed chiefly oi glittering generalities. It
always faces to the past, looking at Jef
ferson. Jackson, Lee, heroes of the deed
past, but does not address itself to the pres
ent. It has no wall defined monetary pol
icy, no foreign policy, no commercial
policy, and only talks of “tariff reform”
which has a very indefinite meaning. It
may mean a great deal and it may mean
very little. The republican campaign
leaders talked “tariff revision” which the
sequel has proven meant higher taxon'
raw material and on the completed goods,
putting the cost, as all may see, far above
the ruling prices of the world, which the
consumer must pay. These facts are be
coming more evident to plain people and
hence we find ail of the new organizations
taking ground against excessively high
duties. The outlook is that a strong free
trade party, pure aud simple, will come to
the front in the near future. The fight is
growing more bitter against monopolies of
every description and the tariff is denounced
as a monopoly measure, hence it is but a
step from “protection” to free trade.'There
is music in the political atmosphere .which
the dullest ears will soon hear.
The Great Money Monopoly.
A reent contributor to the miscellaneous
department of the Voice very forcibly pre
sents the devouring power of usurious inter
est which has been, and still is, fostered by
the National Government. The following
extract contains the gist of the article which
demonstrates the steady flow of the products
of industry to the coffers of the interest
gatherers.
“But some may say the money loaner does
not own all the money. We will suppose
for illustration that he does not. Then
there will be two classes of people who own
money, beside ihe miser who need not be
taken into the consideration. The one class
are using their money in the transactions of
their business; the other class are putting
theirs out at interest. Now, the man in
business controls his money for one transac
tion only. I; may come back to him ;it
may not. The man who loans Ills money
puts it out on terms that will bring it back
again increased in volume by added interest.
This interest cannot come from what he
puls out, for that comes back as principal.
It must come from the increase in the cir
culating medium or else from wiiat tins
owned by business men. Interest added to
piincipal and put out again would give an
ever increasing interest which in time would
exceed the increase in the circulating
medium.
“This excess must come from the business
men’s portion of it, and in time would ab
soiballofit. The money loaner owning
all the money, all business must be conduct
ed on borrowed capital. Not that each
business man must borrow, but some one
must borrow before the money can go into
circulation again. And mark this: All
money being owned by the loaner, his in
terest can no longer be met in money ; it
must be met by surrendering more or less
of the realty of the country each year until
that in turn is all absorbed by the money
loaner.
“This is the logical and inevitable out
come of depending for a legal tender on
what is controlled by private parties and is
allowed to draw interest.
“Money is controlled by a monster
monopoly fostered by the Government, and
unless broken up by a change of our mone
tary system, degradation and slavery awaits
the American people in the near future.
The farms in North Dakota and in all other
parts of the country can be saved to their
owners only by action of Congress, which
will give us an immediate and decided in
crease in our circulating medium, and saved
to them permanently by giving us a mon
etary system founded in justice.”
Government Loaning Money to
Farmers. •
Senator Stanford’s Bill requiring the gov
ernment to loan money direct to farmers at
2 per cent interest on real estate security,
has created considerable comment and crit
icism among what Is called the money class
who hoot it rather than consider it. The
attempt to claim that government is nut a
money loaner, that it lias no power to loan
money, is simple absuidily. Every national
bank is a borrower from the government at
the low rate of 1 per cent interest per annum.
A system somewhat similar is the plan
proposed bv Senatol Stanford to aid and
relieve farmers. A California banker dis
cussing the project says in concluding a
lengthy article on the subject, published iu
the San Francisco Call :
“It seems simply an extension of the ben
efit disposed by the government in fulfil
ment of Ihe guarantee of equal rights to all.
That this view will generally prevail the
more the proposition is studied andcompre
bended is my earnest conviction. I haye
thought upon I', discussed it with friends,
and deliberated to the limit of my reasoning
powers. 1 have heard no argument against
it, that has not on more mature considera
tion seemed fallacious and unsound. It will
not do to dismiss it with a sneer, or reject it
without thought. It will not down ; it will
grow and spread as the grass of the fields.”
This writer, who is a banker, thinks
many bankers will favor Ihe plan. Any
measure which gives prosperity to the farm
ing interest aids couulry bankers especially
and all other business located in rural dis
tricts.
It is interest that eats up a people as
statistics abundantly prove. Senator Stan
ford’s proposition to loan money by the gov
ernment and fix Ihe rate of interest at 2 per
cent would go far in abolishing the old Jew
system of finance which has for centuries
laid the grasping hand of usury on indus
try. Let our government control the cur-
I rency cf the country by becoming the leuder
in place of the borrower ; and by fixing the
rate of interest for its loans the heavy usury
' interest would be destroyed. Landlordism
’ and usurious interest are the two ysmpires
that have sucked the substance from labor
through all the centuries. The upward and
} onward march of civilization and the broth
’ erbood of labor are addressing themselves
to these twin evils. The mass of the peo
ple who think are beginning to understand
where their oppression has its source and
are preparing to apply the remedy.
r
, Prohibition at the Capitol
1 Speaker Reedy has issnctl an order
’ that the sale of intoxicating liquors
' in the House of Representatives res
' taurant should cease. The order is
' temporary, and is intended to give
1 the Speaker an opportunity to learn
■ exactly what bearing the joint rules
- have in the uia.ter and what the
I sentiment of the House is. The
’ order went iuto effect immediately,
i and its effect was plainly uoticable
i in a considerable diminution in the
i number of customers of the restau
• who are accustomed to drink beer
i with their luncheon, aud in the large
ly increased business in the Senate
, restaurant, much of which was altri
, butable to the influx of members ot
the House.who had learned of the
prohibition in their own wing of the
Capitol. A nice lot of boosera we
send up to the capitul to make laws
for us!
The American most profitable and
highly protected industries are being
bought up by English capitalists. It
is charged that they own the reported
tin mines (undeveloped) in Dakota, i
which is quite probable if there is
any tin ore there worth opening|up. |i
THE Ts&TT)TjJI2<TT) : FRIDAY, tTTJITE 6, 1890.
Wmdom’s Silver Policy.
The following is Ihe silver plank in the i
Republican party’s Nartional platform of
1888:
“The republican party is in favor of the
use of botli gold and siiyer as money and
condemns the policy of the democratic ad
ministration in its efforts to demonetize
silver.”
Mr. Francis G. Newlands of the National
Silver Committee, addresses an open letter
to Mr. Windom, published in the National
View, combatting the Secretary's recom
mendation and bill he prepared and laid
before Congress. The letter is very incis
ive and clear, cutting up by the roots
Wiudom’s covert opposition to the remone
tization of silver. The letter concludes:
“The republican leaders are anxious.
They know that the earnestness of the peo
ple on this subject is growing in intensity ;
that the West and South are overwhelm
ingly for free coinage ; that the bimetalic
principle is gaining converts daily in the
east; that Wall street, formerly the strong
hold of inonometalism, is now divided ; they
know that at the coming fall elections defeat
is certain unless the party acts favorably
upon the money question. If it were not
for your intervention, there would have
been no suggestion of treating silver other
than as money, and the legislation satisfac
tory to the country would probably by this
time iiave been adopted.
“But the power of your department is
being exercised against any measure which
does not provide for redemption in bullion.
If your views are adopted as the views of
the administration, then there will be no
favorable silver legislation and the party
will march to defeat. Ido not question the
sincerity of your views, but I ask can it be
possible that you had the party platform be
fore you when you expressed them, and that
you will further urge a measure, which is
in violation of that parly faith to the main
tenance of which this administration is
pledged?”
Every Secretary of the Traasury since
Lincoln’s administration lias been of the
same class to which Windom is attched,
wedded to Wall street and the RothchJd
interest and financial heresies. The peo
ple arc growing very tired of this and ate
resolved on making a radical change. Gov
ernment fostering and protecting the rich
and the rich taking care of the poor and
laboring classes has pretty near had its day.
Republican America has imitated mon
archical and aristocratic Europe in its
policies quite too long.
Onward March of Prohibition.
The original package decision of
the Supreme Court lias brought pro
hibition into both bouses of Congress
as never before. Every movement
forces the absorbing question to the
front which the professional politic
ians are using every means to keep
back. The Prohibition party in the
mean time is growing in strength
and audacity and constantly throw
ing down the gauntlet of defiance
to the old party leaders, expos
ing tricks, management ahd ras
eality carried on between the
saloon and the machine drivers of
the old parties. The Prohibition
party -is putting candidates in the
field in every State and in nearly
every county, and keeping their dish
right side up ready for the shower
when it come 9. The very persistence
and pluck of the Prohibition party
force concessions from the old par
ties which would never be made were
it not for the constant hounding
and exposures of the dishonest
measures of ihe politicians, kept up
by the Prohibition organization.
The great battle which is being
made against the saloon this year is
in Nebraska, which state has been
under a high license for 9 years; and
the license is high; no sham like the
most of the “high license,” but a
SI,OOO license. After 9 years’ -trial
if high license is overturned in Ne
braska the 9aloon feels that the blow
will be well nigli mortal and every
effort is being put forth, money aud
falsehood can command, to bold its
own. A scheme to buy up the news
papers of the State to spread the
falsehoods concocted by the rum
party has been uncovered by the
alert prohibitionists. The liquor in
terest played this bribery and cor
ruption game in Pennsylvania and
other States successfully, and the
Philadelphia papers, after denying
the charge that they were bribed by
the saloon to do its lying work, were
convicted, and the price of their
shame published. After this expos
ure they never opened their mouths.
This game is being frustrated in
Nebraska and the fight is favorable
for a victory for the prohibition
amendment
The contrast in the increase of
wealth between Kansas under Pro
hibition over Nebraska under high
license is a striking recommendation
in favor of prohibition. Here are the
figures:

A Silly Humor
Wns started through a joke, about
the beginning of the week, that the
National Bank of Rising Sun had
closed. Some person remarked that
the bank had closed—at 3 o'clock.
Some one overheard the remark and
told it to the next person he met
that the bank had failed or shut up
or something of the kind. This idle
report was spread through the county
and in a few days after began to
come into the Sun where no person
had heard of it till brought in by
outsiders. One of the wild reports
was that there had been a ‘ run on
the bank.” The whole ridiculous
story started in the manner above
stated and without the slightest foun
dation.
The report was very tantalizing
and provoking to the officers of the
bank, subjecting them to numerous
inquiries, all originating from such
a simple remark. Depositors didn’t
seem to be at all alarmed as on
Wednesday, the day the story was at
its hight, the deposits amounted to
$14,575, against 810,894 checked out
The collapse of the Waring Fertil
izer Company followed by the Colors
fertilizer firm, represented by the
Clcndenin Brothers prepared the
public to receive any kind of gossip
as bonafide facts. The report of the
failure given in Midland Journal
last week was construed by some
who have the bumps ol marvelous
ness well developed into a total col
lapse of the entire neighborhood and
the rnin of all who held any stock in
the concern. Such stories are simp
ly ridiculous. Such failures as these
are a serious loss to the business and
labor of any community where they
occur and a pecuniary loss to those
who own stock in them, and are to
be deplored, but such stock generally
represents surplus money and seldom
affects the solvency of the losers.
Parlor Meeting of Colora 7.
W. C. T. U.
Thursday evening, 29th inst., the
Colora “Y” held a delightful social
gathering at the residence of Mrs.
Sami. Wiley. The exercises began
promptly at eight o'clock with scrip
ture reading by the Prest,, Mrs. Ara
Fryer. Prayer was then offered by
Mr. Samuel Wiley, minutes read by
the Sec. Mrs. Mary Wiley; recita
tion by Miss Lizzie Gamble followed,
“Why we are Content to be in the
Minority;” temperance hymn, “The
Battle must be Won,” was then sung
by the Y; Miss Frankie Thayer then
favored us by reciting Will Carlton’s
well known ballad, “How Jamie
Came Home,” in an unaffected and
touching manner; little Mabel Wiley
phased the audience by singing a
solo; E. 0. Thayer gave a recitation
entitled “A Voice from the Poor
House/’ which was rendered in his
usual fine dramatic style Mrs A.
C. Simpers, who had been appointed
critic for the evening, declined to
make any oral remarks, but thought
best to defer criticisms until the next
parlor meeting and then read them
in the guise of an essay on e'ocu Lion.
And now the great event of the
evening took place, the sa'e of the
young ladies. Mr. A. S. Elliott acted
as auctioneer and did not fail to
secure himsell a charming and hand
some partner, before the stock on
hand was exhausted The bidding
was lively and brisk and the pro
ceeds of the sale quite satisfactory.
Refreshments were then served, con
sisting of ice cream and cake. A
number of visitors were present,
among whom we noticed Mr. J. W.
McCullough and wife. Prof. Conner
and wife, Mr. Sami. Fryer and wife,
Mr. Stephen Krause and wife. Mrs.
R. R. Crothers, Miss Annie Jenness

‘'IN DARKEST AFRICA.”
Stanley’s Scathing Arraignment of
Publishers Who Make False
Announcements. . *
[by the commercial cable to tiie
HERALD.]
The Herald’s European edition publishes
to-day the following, dated
London, May 16, 1890.—The follow
ing notice was mailed last night to
Messrs. Charles Scribner’s Son’s, and I
have been shown the original signed
ccpy:
Notice to the American Public:
1 beg distinctly to state that the only
publishers in America who have any
authority to publish anything what
ever of mine are Messrs. Scribner’s
Son’s and Messrs. Harper Brothers.
My new and shortly forthcoming work,
“In Darkest Africa,” is exclusively in
the bands of Messrs. Charles Scribner’s
Sons, and I cannot too emphatically
condemn the conduct ol a Arm calling
itself the Historical Publishing Com
pany, who, in the name of truth and
justice, put forth an advertisement
headed, ‘Look out! Do not be deceived!’
which is made up of the most barefaced
falsehoods.
The work which they announce as
“Heroes of the Dark Continent,” I re
pudiate entirely. They say it contains
all my forthcoming work And a great
deal more. I emphatically deny this
statement.
1 have simply to say once for all that
these people can by no possibility pub
lish anything of mine but what they
have dishonestly appropriated from
my previous works; and being an
American citizen and therefore ho,ding
my copyright than, I shall in due time
take proper measures to prelect myself
against such unprincipled robbery.
I am aware that several other pub
lishers are announcing spuiious works
purporting to be mine. I therefore
think it high time that all my good
triends in America should be put on
their guard, and bear in mind that my
authorized work will be CAlied “In
Darkest Africa,” in two volumes, and
will be published only by Messrs.
Charles Scribner’s Sons.
