Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 8. The plu
tocrats are evidently objecting to
giviDg up their ill-gotten millions
for the purpose of placing their tool,
McKin!ey,in the WhiteHouse. The
evidence lies in the fact that the pro
prietor of the republican party,
Hanna, has issued orders to hold up
the workingmen of the countiy for
SI a head to defray the rather heavy
expenses of the campaign. This
will be easy, for the plutocratic em
ployers will receive instructions to
diiseVmrrfi evcrv man wLo is not
0 - - - -j
prompt with his ' voluntary coutri
bution."
Of course the threat cf dismissal
will not be printed iu the demand,
but it will bo made none the Ices
plain for those for whom it is intend
ed. The campaign of extortion was
begun here yesterday at the Jones
aud Laughliu plant at Hrownstown
I where thij t otiiv wv.s posted:
All thess in fnvcr of founl!
money aud desiious of getting an
honest dollar for their day's work
will of their own accord subscribe
SI to the campaign fund of tie re
publican National Committee "
The plant employs about 3,000
men.
This is said to be the first move
to assess the wage earners all over
the country. The scheme of that
kind originated with Mark Hanna,
who thinks tlat every workiogman
should be compelled to give 81 to
the party of protection.
Sketch of the Mti Placed at th- Head
of the Democratic State Ticket.
Lawrence Vest Stephens is a na
tive of Cooper county. Mo , and was
born December 21, 1857. He is of an
old and well known Missouri family.
His father, Col. Joseph L Stephens,
and his mother, were also natives of
Cooper County.
He received the rudiments of an
education in the public schools and
Cooper institute, and prepared for
college at the school of Prof F. T.
Kemper. He graduated from the
law department of Washington and
Lee University, Virginia, in 187C.
He then went to Europe and spent
a year in foreign travel aud study
Returning home to Boonville, he
took editorial charge of the Adver
tiser. He was married m 1SS0 to
Miss Margaret Nelson, daughter of
J. M. Nelson of Boonville. He and
his wife are active members of tke
M. E. Church, South.
His first experience in banking
was in his father's bank, the Central
National Bank of Boonville. He
commenced as collector and ii now
Vice President of the Bank.
In 1887 he was appointed receiver
of the Fifth National Bank cf St.
Louis, which failed with S2.OCO.000
liabilities. He developed a high or
der of tiuancial ability in the settle
ment cf the affairs of that bank, and
was highly complimented by the
Comptroller of the Currency, and
also by Judge Thayer of the United
State Court, for Eastern District of
Missouri.
When State Treasurer Noland de
faulted in 1SS9, Mr. Stephens was
appointed by Gov. Francis to fill
out the unexpired term, and in 1592
he was noaiinated and elected for
the. !.ew term by a 1-trge majority.

The following is an editorial from

'There is a plain moral in the re
mark the t if the United States would
venture to cut herself adrift from
Europe and take outright to silver
she would have all America and Asia
at btr back aud the command of the
markets of both countries. The
barrier of gold would be more fatal
than any baiiier of a custom house.

Tammany, the real democratic
party of New York, has endorsed
Brv&u aud Scwail and will go hearti
ly to work to carry the Empire state

Of course, the

her obligations abroad in gold, but
the loss of exchange under this head
would be a mere drop in the bucket

The Republican politicians seem
to be singularly blind to the effect
upon their canvass of Mark Hanna's
prominence and the affiliations which
he naturally seeks here in New York.
This mushroom millionaire boss is
organizing the McKinley campaign
as he would organize an iron trust.
He gees to Pierpont Morgan for aid
and advice as to cheeking the silver
movement which that eminent finan
cier did more thau any ether man to
create. He has installed Matt Quay
aud Powell Clayton as lieutenants
and appointed an executive commit
tee of rich and experienced fat friers.
All this renders unnecessarily absurd
the claim that the Republican party
represents iu this election all the
honesty, patriotism and moral eenti
ment of the country.
Have the Republican leaders for
gotten the millionaire banquet the
"Belshazzar feaaf" that defeated
Blaine in 18S4 at the last moment.
They retired Payne from their Ex
ecutive Committee this year because
he was obnoxious to the labor unions.
Do thev lack the discretion or the
power to keep Hanna, with his inoa
ey bags, his fat friers and his pro
fessiocal corruptioniste, out of sight
as an cfiknse to the moral sentiment
and the political sense of the com
munity. The combination that is directing
