"Gunpowder, gospel" is what Mr

The controversies over the relative

DrRlXCi the last twenty years or
more there has beon scarcely a promi

has cot felt the results of John U.

admirers of such democrats as Thur

bo at this time harboring any too
friendly feelings for the man who
in years past betrayed their princi
pals. INFORMATION AND OPINION.
DEMOCRATS DISLHW-: TDK Sl'RJECT
Although tin-plate is a subject very
sore to tbo average democratic politi
cian, a bravo attempt was made dur
ing the recent tin plato strike to make
democratic capital even at the risk of
bringing up the whole history of tin
plate in this country and exposing the
utter fallacy of democratic prophesies
on the subject. No one hns forgotten,
not oven democrats, though they
would like to. that Grovcr Cleveland
atid other such Americans predicted.
at the time of the enactment of the
McKinley law, that tho manufacture
of tin-plate in this country was impos
sible, iiud that to place, a duiy on this
article was a tariff crim. The sub
sequent growth of the indu-try in the
United States, witli the lowf ring of
nrifio which alw:ys uccoinpatiies it-
veased production, tin foinir.lion of
the trust and tho increase of "wages of
its f-mployts about 1-3 per cviit, .!pw-
rating a dist ihuf.on i,f one million
dollars more in WMge mo::ev in the lo
calities where p'Uite is maJe, are also
iscts which havo uot been forgotten,
though they have cnu3ed much pain
to tho democratic faithful. Rut p r
h;ips it i- not bo well known that at a
recent meeting of tho Swansea S.uth
Wales Tin Pinto Masters' association
it was decided necessary to accept a
10 per cent wage reduction through
out tho trade, meaning nearly a rail
lion dollars loss in wago money to be
distributed in WhIcs. Of cou:-se.
democrats, rather than see their proh
esios fulfilled, would doubtless prefer
to see the tin-platn industry fail in the
United States, the wages in this coua
try reduced a million dollars and s
like amount restored to tho Wales tin-
plate workers Fortunately, Ameri-
oan wage-enrners can tninK lor mem
selves and so can distinguish betweon
policies.
In eight of the corn-raising states
the estimate of the corn crop thisyoai
is l,723,0rtfJ,0t)J bushels. For th.
whole country tho estimate is 2.000,
000. 0W bushels.

"Poor's Manuel" for 1R99 shows that
at the close of 1808 the railroads in the
United States aggregated a length ot
188,800 miles, the increase in the
twelve months preceding having been
2,218 miles. Tho total liabilities o!
the railroad companies were $12,099,-
500,242, of which 4-1,435,400,198 was
capital stock and $5,423,833,725 was
fundod debt. The total net earnings
were $3S9,G06,474, and including other

substantiate this. The records are the
best evidence I
Whentheh.gislatnrocf 1803 made J
house-rent appropriation for Governor
Crounse, the last Kepublican governor,
it was promptly vetoed. Crounse in
1 ' ... . . . . .
his messiige declared it unconstitutional,
and said tho legislature had no power to

state officer.
Governor Holcorub had no such re
gard for the constitution or the law.
He regarded the law as "a farce and a
sham," as his sworn testimony later dis
closed. He was glad to take the house
rent appropriation, and he intended to
make as niuh as possible out of it.
The records show that for the first
ix months after the appropriation wm

vouchers.
On tho 1st of October Holcomb rented
a house from Mrs. Gould at the rate of
$30 per month. Aud yet the records
show that for the quarter ending Jan. 1,
1S00, ho drew in advance $180 for
"house rent." The date of this voucher
is Sept. 30, 1805.
The next voucher drawn was ou
March 8, 1S96, when Holcomb took 350
all in a lump, the voucher saying it was
for "house rent," but did not say what
period of time it covered. This was the
case with all future vouchers, an adroit
effort having been made to cover up tho
misappropriation or steal. The record

Governor Holcomb dtdiberately mis-
appropriated and put inis pocket each
month a little over fl9. AH this iu
spite of the fact the appropriation is for
a certain amount for housS rent, "or so
mnnh iin.nf c mu iu npr-MAirir "
No quiblile will justify the steal. The
state officials now admit tne wrong.
and to prevent the vouchers from being
inspected bv the public, the auditor has
removed them from their usual places
with the other vouchers in the vault,
and has thc-m concealoil at the present
rime in Detmtv Pool's desk. A trood
way to prove this is to go aud ask to see
them.
Tho sworn evidence given by Mrs.
Gould shows how inueh was paid for
tho house which Holcomb rented, of hcr
ou the 1st of Octolier, 1S95, and whit-h
he still occupies. She testified beliv

the city as compared with years ago, acid
the testimony resumed as follows:

A. Why, I am not positive when the
rent began, but 1 think it was in uctober.

A. I suppose It would be slncfyl&H5. It
would be four years. Tfcls is 1S9D.
Q. In collecting the rent, Mrs. Gotfld,

Some time ago the Hon. J. Sterling
Morton made the public assertion that
William J. Bryan had said "it is the
money that is in the office and not the
honor that attracts uie."
Such a remark from Mr. Brj'tm could
not be regarded as a probability by those
who lelieve him to be a leader with high
mco-al standards and honorable purpose.
The charge having been made py s
prominent a citizen us Mr. Morton, ou
the other hand, created much comment.
