Th if i trii-.

That ,K!if ri 'it' p has fhov;n that the govern-iiif-tt ;-, !st when it is reaiert the peo ple in I if. is high tim for an amend rrifif that wi'I gie the people power - f r. thir representatives in the nn ir. Ti- s-i nml argument made against in i.hingM is that, it would lead to the lexl r'l- tit5ti of the equalities of the tt i-'s ir th? senate. Thre is no force In thin argument. The state's repre sentation has rothlng whatever to do with th manner of election, and the vrjt's equality in the senate is more 1 1 1 ; V to he made sure hy an amend ni"f:t which would relieve senatorial rl'-ti:r.. of the suspicion that now at f ! it h N them than by a blind dis-rc.i'-.l ;f present defects. I'nless a xrar is something different from the p. .jf tho state, there Is no rca- why the sovereignty of the state omM r.ot be represented by senators o"tJit by the peopte as well as by i-it i'ors ' hosen by the legislature. Th Ohioan above referred to then .ii t.;ti;ts to answer the charge of cor ruption, by saying that it is possibly tn-. bfit. that "purchase of seats In leg islative bodies ia not a new thing." He 'lu.if he corrupt election of members f pirliiment and cites a case of 1821. wi'.r -IS! members out of 6.9 "were e!,:r'.?(l iy 141 peers and 123 commons." 11 i' ies Mai aulay as an authority on the i ..rrttp'ion that existed, but he neg !' t.) add that it was because of the idtter. borough system that the rt'pr eataf ion in parliament was ch-nc ;:.! and that Macauley was one of Hii' llvocates of the change. It it true that the election of sen t.ois by the people would not abso lutely prevent corruption, but it would pork a great improvement over the IrHr.t method. It 1 easier to pur-di:-n in election from a few represen tatives To whom large sums can be -pAid than to secure an election by buy tug majority of the people. Cr. is no answer to the almost uni ver.i demand for the popular election of servitor to say that the voter ought lo !-? more careful about the selection of representatives in the legislature. TltU I true, but there is no reason why 'h.jsa who do use care in the selec tion oi legislators should be left at tint iipivy f legislators who. although wif.i: i g o ! private record, yield to the t",n t tons that beset a legislator !i"rr rci' corporations are interested in v'e--fing a aerator! ii agent to carry i,'t t 'i i r ;:rpjses.

TWO VIEWS OF ing himself from the arena of politics. Nothing in the editorial would justify such a construction. Mr. Bryan is in tt rested in political questions and will continue to discuss them with tongue and pen. In fad. the study and discus sion ot public questions is the business of his life, and no paper Is justified in Efsuniins that either now, or ten years from row. or twenty years from now, he will be less earnest or active in deal ing with those questions than he has been during the last ten years. Wheth er the arguments presented by him will have any influence will depend, not upon the wishes of the corporation con trolled papers, but upon the judgment of tue people who. like himself, are seeking a just solution of all the prob lems with which society has to deal. THE FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRA TION. The Fairview Jefferson club will hold an old-fashioned Fourth of July cele bration at Fairview this year. The readers of the Commoner will remem ber that Fairview Is the name given to Mr. Bryan's home and is situated about four miles southeast of Lincoln. The exercises will be held in a grove close to the street car line and about a quar ter of a mile from Mr. Bryan's resi dence. Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio. Col. Richard S. Wynne of Ft. Worth. Tex., and Dr. Howard S. Taylor of Chicago will deliver addresses. Pro fessor Hagenow's band will furnish music for the occasion and a choir se lected from the Commoner office will lead in the singing of patriotic airs. The celebration of the anniversary of the nation's birth has in too many places degenerated into a day of sport for the people, and into a day of money making for merchants. The Fairview Jefferson club desires to return to the simplicity and sincer ity of the earlier day celebrations when the people were wont to gather to gether on such a day to renew ac quaintances, exchange opinions, sing together inspiring songs, hear the Declaration of Independence read, and listen to the discussion of questions affecting the national welfare. The club is fortunate in being able to se cure the attendance of the distin guished citizens whose names are men tioned above. Of Tom L. Johnson it is not necessary to speak. His able and courageous defense of the interests of the masses has earned for him his po sition of leadership of the Ohio democ racy, and he is using that leadership to bring about public reforms. Col. Wynne is one of the most prominent lawyers of Texas, an orator of note, and a citizen of high ideals. Dr. Taylor is city attorney of Chicago under Mayor Harrison, and is not only an able speaker, but is so accomplished a writer of verse that he has been dubbed poet laureats of the Chicago platform democracy. All are cordially invited. ROOSEVELT-HANNA INCIDENT. The newspaper are discussing the Rooscvelt-Hanna incident and the com ments are colored somewhat by the leanings of the paper. The friends of Senator Hanna represent him as gra ciously offering Ohio's indorsement to the president, the relations between them being agreeable. The anti-Hanna element represents the president as giving the Ohio senator a good drub bing and forcing him to very reluctant ly yield up the Onio indorsement. It is difficult for any one to really commend the senator's action in the maiter. If he was willing to have the president indorsed he ought not to have said anything against it; if he was not wolling to have him indorsed he ought not. to have surrendered his convictions on the subject merely to gratify the president. The incident, however, made an is- John Bull's action in adding three Pacific islands to his collection is cal culated to bring fortn a few more pres idential platitude about "big sticks." Owing to certain complications In his political department because of his ut terances. Mr. D. M. Parry is now en gaged In hedging as rapidly a3 possible. Doubtless you have noticed that when a daily newspaper begins to wane in circulation and Inflfluence it begins then to denounce its successful compet itor as "yellow." Postmaster Van Cott of New York has been called upon for a report upon the apparently excessive number of cashiers and similar employes in the New York offlfflce. The department officials want Information as to the duties of the Incumbents of the New York office and other data with a view to correcting any - abuses that may exist. Among the candidates for admission to the naval academy who. have suc cessfully passed the medical and men tal examinations and been ordered to report at the academy for duty are these: O. W. Howard. Nebraska, THE SITUATION. T ' 1 As Roosevelt sue, and it was quickly settled in favor of the present. The way is now prob ably clear to a renomination, but it is possible that Mr. Hanna was not ready for a final struggle. If he and the money magnates decide that they pre fer some other candidate they can still make it interesting before the conven tion is held. AN IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE. Hon John H. Regan, the only sur viving member of the confederate cab inet and one of the veteran democrats of Texas, is quoted as saying that he "would rather vote for the blackest kind of a republican than vote for Cleveland." giving as his reason that Cleveland "betrayed his party into the hands of the money power." Mr. Regan will never be called upon to make the choice, for Mr. Cleveland has no pos sible chance of securing a democratic nomination. He could secure more votes in a republican primary for the republican nomination that he could in a democratic primary for the demo cratic nomination. The Commoner has called attention to the things said in his favor, not because he had any chance of securing the nomination, but in order that the readers of the Com moner might know the real influence behind the re-organizers, and under stand that the candidate favored by the re-organizers will be controlled by the same influence that controlled Mr. Cleveland, even though the fact may not be so well known to the public. "CAN NOT IF WE WOULD." The New York Mail and Express, all along a radical single gold standard or gan, thinks that the purchases of sil ver made by the government for use in the Philippines have had much to do with raising the price of silver to the highest mark of the year and that "it is likely that the prospect of success for a new international agreement pro posed by our government will help it still furtner and encourage the legiti mate and natural demand for silver." And then the Mail and Express, the paper that has seldom had a good word to say for lae white meia... adds: "The rally of silver can not but be regarded as a favorable symptom by sound finan ciers. It promises us a better price for one of our most valuable produc tions and increases the estimate for a metal which we can not expell from our currency if we would." The Chicago Bankers club held a meeting at the Auditorium recently and listened to speeches delivered by ex- Secretary Gage and Congressman Fow ler, author of the Fowler bill. Ac cording to the press dispatches, "both argued for a system of asset currency, and asserted that unless financial ad vantages are secured great commercial dangers threaten. This problem, it is held, is of a seriousness second not even to the labor question." So "great com mercial dangers threaten" unless we can secure an asset currency? Can it be that after seven years of republican rule the money question is still unset tled? They insist that the money problem is not second in seriousness. even to the labor question, and yet the reorganizers say the money question is dead. The money question seems to have as many lives as a cat, and not one of its lives has yet been entirely extinguished. A reader of the Commoner inauires how the price of silver could affect our competition with India. As follows: Before 1S73. when England had to pay about SI. 29 an ounce for silver, she could afford to pay $1.2- a bushel for American wheat if Indian wheat cost her an ounce of silver per bushel. When the price of silver fell to S cents an unce she could only afford to pay 80 cents for American wheat, if she could till get a bushel of wheat in India for an ounce of silver. In this way The "sDeak softly" policy Is not the one for the president to us? when he tackles that postal scandal. Uncle Sam is spending $20.Oi0 in an effort to propagate the acq-.iattc lob ster. The bipeda lobster, however, is not yet in danger of extermination. A few Lorlmerized democrats in Chi cago now have ample leisure to figure out how it happened. The weakness of the New York stock market is an Indication that the new crop of lambs has not yet shown up. Secretary Moody has made public the plans and specifications for the new 13,000-ton battleships Mississippi apd Idaho just completed by the board of construction. The new ships retin the offensive and defensive features of the first-class battleships at a sacrifice of speed, power and coal capacity. They will be a modified type of the 16,000-ton Connecticut. ' Loaning money Etrengtiiens the memory; borrowing causes forgetfol ness. " 's friends see it. K pi r.Jur d by irourtes of The Commoner, the price of wheat in India was main tained, while the price of wheat in the United States fell. A fall in the price of silver raised the silver price of goods fm ported into a silver coun try, but as domestic trade is usually vastly larger than the foreign trade the advantage brought by the stability of silver in a silver country far out weighed the disadvantage caused by the rise in exchange. Mayor Rose of Milwaukee is quoted as saying that he has a personal grievance against Mr. Bryan because the latter contributed to his defeat in the recent guberatorial campaign. Mr. Rose attaches too much importance to Mr. Bryan's part in the campaign. The defeat was due to Mr. Rose's platform, not to the fact that Mr. Bryan criti cised it. The Wisconsin convention put the desire to win above its love for democratic principles, and thought that success could be secured by conciliat ing the corporation republicans whom La Follette had alienated. The result of the election showed that such a pol icy lost more democrats than it gained republicans. It does not pay to ape republican ways or to indorse republi can policies in order to win republican votes. The democratic party will make more progress if it will stand by demo cratic principles and convert honest and patriotic reublicans by showing the vicious tendency of republican pol icies. The New York Tribune is discussing the new currency scheme, and it con fesses that it is a grave problem. The whole purpose of the financiers seem3 to be to get a bank currency that can be controlled by the financiers and they recognize that the national debt can not always be used as a basis for such currency. It is time the people were considering the democratic plan of us ing greenbacks instead of bank notes. Greenbacks require neither a perpetual debt nor fluctuating assets for a basis. And yet the re-organizers say that the money question is dead. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat con tains a curious sentiment for a paper published in a republic. It refers to a new law in Spain which provides for the nunishment of any person wno publicly says: "Long live the republic." It then expresses the opinion that good government by King Alfonso "can do more in a month to extirpate republi can ideas in Spain than could be ac complished by punitive statutes In a hundred vears." and adds: "It is to be hoped the young king will grasp this fact." Does the Globe-Democrat real ly mean to express the hope that King Alfonso will, by grasping tnis iact. "extirpate republican ideas in Spain?" An Alabama reader of the Common er asks for a definition of a standard dollar and the double standard. The "standard dollar" is used to describe the ordinary silver dollar of 412U grains, and the gold dollar of 25 8-10 rains. The democratic platform ot iS9f savs that "we hold to the use of gold and silver as the standard money of the country." The double standard is a term used to describe a monetary system wherein the unit rests upon two metals instead ot one. unaer me double standard gold and silver are given access to the mint, and are coined at a fixed ratio into full legal tender mrnpv The value of the dollar de pending on the number of dollars, the use of gold and silver would, by giving more dollars, raise the level of prices. The earthquake which killed 700 Turkish troops did not waste any time in sending an ultimatum. Despite the efforts of Postmaster General Payne the people still insist that there is ample reason for the Joe folking of the postal department. Richard Henry Stoddard left an es tate valued at $2,000. He left a mem ory that all the millions of Rockefeller an not buy. however. Owing to corcumstances over which he has no control the justice-loving ex- cutive of Indiana will be unable to extend to certain Hoosier patriots the protection given to Mr. Tajl ..r of Ken tucky. An automatom manufacturer recent ly made a toy tramp but it wouldn't work. Samson mieht have escaped with his hair had not that female barber talked him to sleep. A football match is an imitation of two baseball teams taking a hard fall out of the umpire. Some men never discover that they are on the wrong track till thej sit down on R. The unexpected weldom happens to the . people who ike always looking for it. FOR POLLAIt WHEAT EQUITY SOCIETY AGITATING WRONG DIRECTION. IN Farmers Can Not Force Up the Price of Wheat, but They Can Force Down Prices of Trust Goods by Voting to Take the Tariff Off Them. Tha American Society of Equity of IndianaHjIis has issued a bulletin to the farmers of the United States, de manding an increase In the price of wheat, arguing that the minimum price of wheat should bo $1 a bushel, and urging the farmers of the United States not to sell for less than $1. Tho soeiety was organized a year ago with that city as national headquarters to maintain higher prices for farm prod ucts by co-operation of the fanners of the country, and this is the first formal demand for increase in prices. The bulletin reasons that because of the low visible supply of wheat and the high cost of production owing to high prices for most other commodi ties, that $1 at Chicago is only an equitable price for whoat. It nays: "Farmers, keep this matter in mind keep dollar wheat at Chicago before you. and you will get it as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. We implore you, don't bo fools." It may be heresy, but we would like to suggest to the Equity Society that there is another and an easier and more certain way for the farmers to accomplish the result aimed at. and it does not involve the risk and almost certain failure of attempting to imitate the manufacturing trusts. The farmers have never succeeded, and probably never will succeed, in forming a trust which will enable them to force up the price of any Im Iortant product 40 per cent. Not only are there too many farmers, very widely scattered, but they are not, as are the manufacturers, protected by tariff duties on their products, except on sugar and a few other less Im portant products which we do not raise in sufficient quantities to export largely. In the case of wheat, the price is fixed in Liverpool, and it is not certain that if our farmers should refuse to sell and we ceased entirely to export, that the foreign price would reach the equivalent of dollar wheat at Chicago. But the tariff on manufactured goods is effective because there are compar atively few manufacturers in any line, because they often have a monopoly of the mines or materials used and because they usually have potential or actual competition from foreign goods in our home markets. Which wheat growers do not have. Because cf these and other reasons, the manu facturers have been able to form suc cessful trusts and to take advantage of the high tariff duties. They have thus forced up the prices that the farmers must pay for manufactured goods an average of about 40 per cent since the Dinglcy tariff bill became law. The prices of many articles, such as barb wire, wire nails, tin plate, window glass, etc., have been forced up 100, 200 or 300 per cent in ur markets, though sold at very low irices to foreigners. If tariff duties on trust products vere taken off, manufactured goods jvhieh now sell for $1 would sell for jnly 60 cents. The farmer could then iuy as much with his bushel of wheat, elling at 75 cents at Chicago, as he vould get if he could force the price f wheat up to $1, while paying the present high trust prices for his ;oods. It is entirely feasible for the farm ers, by voting for no tariff on trust ?oods, to reduce the cost of what they h.ve to buy. It is not at all feasible for them to get together Ions enough to artificially raise the price of wheat 30 or 40 per cent. The farmers are the backbone of protection in this country, although, as a leading Repub 3ican Hon. Ben Butterworth said in 1890, "the manufacturers and the trusts get the protection and the prof its of the tariff the farmer gets the husks and the humbug." As was clearly shown by the 1902 t'lection, the workingmen of the great cities voted against the trusts and the high tariff which have so greatly in creased the cost of living, while the farmers voted strongly in favor of both. Just why farmers should con tinue to vote for a system that takes money out of their pockets and puts none into them is one of our unsolved political problems. If instead of agitating for impossible dollar wheat (unless produced by nat ural causes in the rest of the world), the Equity Society will advise farmers to discuss the tariff-trust question in their grange and other organizations and to vote for their own pockets all the time, just as the manufacturers jiave always been doing, great good will result, not only to the farmers, but to all laborers, mechanics and professional men. The cost of living will be greatly reduced and entirely at the expense of the trusts. In fact, both farmers ' and laborers generally Jlvill be benefited by the greater amount of manufactured goods which would be used if they were sold at more reasonable prices. As more fac tory employes would be needed to make more goods, not only would fac tory wages tend to rise, but the fanner would soon have a bigger home mar ket for his products. The doom of protection will be sealed when the farmers begin seri ously to discuss the tariff question and to realize what it means to them. This discussion is what the Republicans are trying to prevent. They tell the farmer that the tariff is politics and must therefore be tabooed in. the grange and other farmers organiza tions. What nonsense! The tariff is business; just every-day common dol-lars-and-cents business to the farmers. When the farmers find this out and begin to get an Idea of what "protec tion" has cost them they will be mad all through and will be looking for somebody to kick them all around a ten-acre field. Byron W. Holt. Poor Picking for New Trusts. And now it's the sandpaper manu facturers who "are working together harmoniously, and prices are report ed to be steadily maintained," says tbs Iron Age of May 14. We fear this trust is too late upon the scene and that there is nothing left for it except poesibly a few crumbs that the hun- drods of other trusts which get there first may have overlooked. We aro real sorry for the sandpaper fellows and for the few other manufacturers. If any, who have not previously "got together" to get their share of the tariu spoils but we have been plun dered and despoiled by so many cor morant trusts since Dlngley walled us in and Invited the trusts to heis themselves, that wo can furnish only very pcor picking for late comers. We cow give warning to all prospec tive trusts that there is "nothing doing" for them. In fact we are tired, awfully tired, of trust prosperity and high prices and are longing for a va cation, hard times, no trusts and low prices. Give us a rest. THE POSTOFFICE SCANDAL. But a Small Part of the Whole Truth Is Yet Known. The investigation of the rolten sys tem in the postofllce department has developed some more rascals, but there are much more serious scan dais yet to be unearthed Involving of ncials of high degree. It is hardly likely that tne whole truth will bo known, for even if a Congressional investigation was ordered it would be In the hands of the Republicans who are interested in suppressing the facts that could bo uncovered. Tho railway mail service offers a line field for exploration and if some of the reports are true that an? openly talked of in Washington, the worst scandal, by far has not yet been de veloped. A Republican administra tion long continued in power is bound to become corrupt when the control of vast sums is given Into the hands of the spoilsmen. The Star route frauds would never have b'on un earthed if a Democratic Congress had not been elected, and the whole truth about present conditions will be concealed until the voters con clude to give the Demorats the oppor tunity of cleaning the Augean stables. Fraud and corruption is rarely un covered by the political friends of those guilty of the crimes and the only hope of the country is a periodi cal change of administration to un earth and expose the Kins of com mission and omission of their oppo nents. The evident intention of Post master General Payne to belittle and throw obstacles in the way of a full Investigation has been overcome by the honest efforts of Mr. Bristow, but political necessity will have great weight In helping to suppress the real facts about the greater culprits. There are so many Congressmen and Senators who are directly or Indirect ly involved that great pressure will bo brought to bear on the most hon est officials to let up for "the good of the party." Returning from the Chase. Trouble Ahead for the G. O. P. Scenting trouble ahead, some of the more foxy organs of the G. O. P are beginning to commence to start to get ready to blame it all on the wicked Democrats. The Philadelphia Press thus voices its fears: "Unless a belief should gain ground that a Democrat may be elected President next year there will be no break in the continued prosperity of the nation." The Press then hastens to reassure us by saying: "Prices in some lines, forced un duly high by combinations, may de cline somewhat, but that would be a healthy movement. As to any gen eral depression, it is not in view, nor is it likely to become so for years to come." The Press need not worry. The Democrats are not going to win in 1904 unless the people get tired of being bled by high tariff trust prices and vote for the only party that will stop the trust graft and reduce the cost of living. This they certainly will do when they get their eyes wide open to the iniquities of the outrage ous Dingley bill. They will then get some of the prosperity that the trusts are now enjoying. Dishonesty Among Officials. Eight cases of serious dishonesty on the part of the American officials is what the cable from Manila tells us is the most startling news from the Philippines. ' The selection of these officials must have been made by the postoffice department, from the way they are acting. Probably they are a part of the bunch that Perry Heath railroaded into the government ser vice without the civil service formali ties. Pennyism in the Philippines. While at home we are denouncing the feeble little libel law of Penny packer, the supreme court of the Phil ippine islands calmly upholds a de cision by which two American editors were condemned, without even a Jury trial, to six months' imprisonment and $1,000 fine each for criticising a public official. Buffalo Express. Congressmen Implicated. The worst feature about the post office scandal is that so many con gressmen must have been aware of some of the misdoings and participat ed in the plunder to the extent of get ting their friends appointed to office or the salaries of those already there considerably raised.
