An Ancient Spectre.
Imperialism is by no means a new is
sue. On the contrary , it is one of the
most ancient bugaboos known in Ameri
can politics. In fact , it has been resur
rected by Mr. Bryan from the campaign
of 1832. Andrew Jackson , the high
priest and idol of Democracy , w.as the
imperialist of that day , just as the
Bryanites are endeavoring to make Wil
liam McKinley an _ imperialist today.
His opponents insisted that the reelection
tion of President Jackson would put an
end to the existence of the republic , as
he was certain to make himself emperor
or king and set up a monarchial form of
government. Their attacks upon him
along that line were almost identical
H with those made against President Mc
Kinley in the present campaign.
In order to arouse the people to the
imaginary dangers threatening them ,
the anti-imperialists of 1832 scattered
over the country posters representing
President Jackson attired in his royal
robes as "King Andrew.the First , " wip
ing his feet on the constitution of the
United States and trampling on the bank
of the United States. In a recent issue
The New York Tribune reproduced a
copy of one of these posters. Under
neath the picture there was printed in
large type the following terrible indict
ment of this eminent Democratic imper
ialist :
KING
ANDREW
THE FIRST
"Born to Command. "
A KING who , possessing as much power
as his Gracious Brother William IV , makes
a worse use of it.
A KING who has placed himself above
the laws , as he has shown by his contempt
of our judges.
A KING who would destroy our cur
rency , and substitute OLD RAGS , payable
by no one knows who , and no one knows
where , instead of good SILVER DOL
LARS.
A KING born to command , as he has
shown himself by appointing men to office
contrary to the will of the people.
A KING who , while he was feeding his
favorites out of the public money , denied
a pittance to the OLD SOLDIERS who
fought and bled for our independence.
A KING whose PRIME MINISTER
and HEIR APPARENT was thought un
fit for the office of ambassador by the
people :
SHALL HE REIGN OVER US ,
Or shall the PEOPLE RULE ?
No doubt the able authors of that
artistic piece of handiwork imagined
that something terrible would happen if
their warnings were not heeded. But
the voters were just obstinate enough to
go their own way. President Jackson
was re-elected and well , the republic is
still here doing business at the old stand.

You can't afford to miss "Gentleman
George's" speech in McCook , Wednes
day , October 24th.
MR. SHALLENBERGER'S 'steen per
cent a month sort of philanthropy can't
appeal very strongly to the farmer's
heart and win his vote. Not this year
of grace and McKinley prosperity , on
your life !
THE Fusionists in the Fifth district
will have to do some swift changing of
position , this fall. McKeighau and
Sutherland have insisted for the past
ten years that the greatest enemies of
mankind are the bankers. Now they
have nominated a banker on their ticket
for congress. Superior Journal.
W. S. MORLAN is not only a lawyer ,
he is a farmer a successful farmer as
well. Being a farmer himself , he will ,
when elected , take a keen personal in
terest in forwarding in every possible
way the agrarian interests of the Fifth
district of Nebraska. On the other
hand , we have Mr. Shallenbarger , a
banker and a man in no way in sympa
thy with the farmers. Superior Journal. I

"They Will Ali Be Democrats
After 1900. "
The intention of the Democrats to replace the Pops with *
"straight Democrats" is clearly shown in the following letter
of Mr. Bryan's. Also note the scheme to shut out Uncle
John Powers.
"Committee and Means House of
on Ways , Representa
tives , Washington , D. C. , March 7 , 1892.
"I see that the Democratic convention in your Fifth dis
trict is set for May 10. Also read your editorial. You are
V
right. McKeighan ought to be returned. It is either him era
a Republican. He is with us on every vital question. Be
sure and go to the convention and see that McKeighan is NOT
nominated. It would kill him with Independents. They
would nominate Powers and elect him. If that convention
insists on nominating some one , nominate a weak Democrat ,
or' one who would withdraw before election. We can't af
ford to have a Republican from that district. We may need
some one to help carry tariff reform and free coinage if we
elect a president.
"Our people all like McKeighan. He has done well and
we must keep him here , at least until he can be succeeded by
a straight Democrat. KEEP THIS CONFIDENTIAL. I have
talked with McKeighan and know that he considers a Demo
cratic nomination before he is nominated by the Independents
as a fatal mistake , and liable to do him great if not irrepara
ble injury. Have also read your recent editorials. All O. K.
Answer. Yours truly ,
"W. J. BRYAN. "
YOU GOT IT , ALL YOU ASKED FOR.
[ From the Colorado Springs Gazette. ]
To the People of the United Stales ,
Greeting : *
Four years ago
You demanded work for your idlesons.
You got it. You never had so many
people employed as now.
You wanted your idle capital to be
employed.
You got it.
You-wanted to see the army of tramps
mustered out.
They are gone.
You wanted your soup houses closed.
They are closed.
You wanted to get rid of the receivers
of your railways and banks.
They are gone.
You wanted to see the smoke coming
from th'e stacks of your smelters , mills
and factories.
It came. Many have since been kick
ing about the smoke nuisance.
You wanted the savings bank deposits
to increase.
Never so large in your history as at
present.
You wanted to see interest rates de
crease that your people could borrow
more cheaply wherewith to develop your
resources.
You got it. Interest has never been
so low as now.
You demanded more money. The
circulation must "be increased per capita.
You got it. It has increased with
marvelous rapidity for four years.
You demanded that one dollar be just
as good as another.
You got it. That is the kind we have
now. and you can get all the silver or
paper you want at any bank.
You demanded the markets of the
world for your surplus products and
goods.
You got it. Got it so suddenly it
almost dazzled you.
You wanted us to stop borrowing
money in Europe.
We stopped it , and Europe is now
borrowing money from us.
You wanted the government to collect
every dollar of the Pacific railroad debt
instead of a PORTION , as Mr. Cleveland
proposed.
Mr. McKinley made them pay every
cent , principal and interest.
You wanted Cuba liberated.
It is done.
You wanted the rights of our people
maintained at home and abroad.
It has been done.
What you really wanted the worst was
what Mr. McKiuley promised : "AN
HONEST DOLLAR AND A CHANCE TO
EARN IT. "
You got both. Not from the Bryau-
ites , but it was none the less acceptable
to the man behind the dinner bucket.
If you want more things of this sort
you can get them from the same source.
Yours devotedly ,
PETTIGREW.
Rosewater at Orleans.
Special to THE TRIBUNE : Edward
Rosewater and Major Moores addressed
the citizens of Orleans in the city hall ,
Tuesday evening , on the issues of the
campaign , having a large and appreci
ative audience. Major Moores spoke
briefly , and was followed by Mr. Rosewater -
water , who for two hours held the wrapt
attention of his hearers in the ablest ad
dress on the money question , anti-mili
tarism and imperialism yet delivered in
this place. His argument on the money
question was historical , able and unan
swerable , showing up the heresies of
"Apostle John the Baptist Coin Harvey"
and his disciple , Mr. Bryan , as delusive
demagoguery founded on imagination
and appealing to the passions and ignor
ance of the unthinking. It showed deep
research , and was a scholarly and logical
address. On the "paramount" question
of imperialism he produced facts that
would convince anyone convincible and
within redemption's realm. Mr. Bryan's
irguuients or heresies on imperialism
ivere each and all ably and comprehen
sively answered , and all his bogies and
misrepresentations were annihilated.
He quoted facts to prove that the same
party which is crying imperialism at
President McKiuley and slandering him
ised the same abuse on Abraham Lin-
: oln. The heresy about "Government
vith the consent of the governed" was
: rushed by a weight of numerous author-
ties , court decisions and historical data
presented by the speaker. Mr. Rose-
vater's speech was an intellectual treat ,
ind was listened to by Fusionists with
: lose attention. His style of handling
he issues and his splendid arguments
ind able presentation of facts made him
nany friends and were productive of
treat good to the party and President
tlcKinley's administration. *

MR. SHALLENBERGER claims to be a 2
lock-breeder , a farmer and a philan-
hropist , and THE TRIBUNE can prove
t : As a breeder of bull pups , a farmer
f the farmers and a purchaser of "fake'
[ octor notes , the trinity is complete.
WHAT is there in honorable banking
hut makes it necessary for a candidate
3r congress to deny his connection with
bank in which he owns 87 shares a
ontrolling interest. Certainly nothing
ut a demagogic effort on the part of a
lutocralic Democratic banker candidate

irmers ! What superlative rot !

i ONEST J O H Nf
THE increasing popularity of the gov
ernment's money-order system clearly
forecasts the great success the govern
ment can achieve from a postal savings
bank system of an approved plan. Since
the enlargement of the scope of the
money-order system under Presiden
McKinley's administration , the money-
order business of the McCook post-office
has very noticeably increased. Three
features are especially popular : The fact
that money can be deposited ; that
money-orders of other offices can be
paid , and the payment of orders without
advices being on file. Money-orders
thus have the practical value of bank
drafts , and are more popular with the
people , whose confidence in Uncle Sam
is absolutely unlimited. The postal
savings-bank system would greatly re
duce Uncle Sam's interest account , and
would be a winner from the start. And
it ought to start.
