DEPARTMENT STOKES. A GREAT EVIL OF MODERN BUSI NESS AN OCTOPUS OF CREED. Should Be Condemned by All Itlght Thinking People Throughout the Whole Conntry It It n Inntitntloa of Foreign Origin and a Monopoly. A city is something more than merely a large collection of houses. A city should be a scene of busy, bustling activity, where are erected many homes, where are employed many laboring people in factories, stores, workshops and mills. It is ap parent that the farmer whose land lies nearest a prosperous city is In better shape than his fellow-farmer whose possessions are not so favorably situ uted. In order to succeed a ejty must have stores of every kind, and many of them for the sake of competition if nothing else. The more stores in a city the more families to be maintained and the more labor connected therewith, hence the greater demand for farmers' pro- (luce: of every kind. This being the case imnoinn n eite in whifh (he mer cantile business of a city is all con ducted under one roof: -.i"? ,esilu would be that a hydra-headed monop oly of the worst form would be in con trol, and In course of time every in terest of the city would pass under its direction, There would be no such a thing as competition. That city would be ruined. Ichnbod would, be written all over its every industry, and It would eventually become" a monument to man's avaricious greed as represented by that modern devil fish of business life, known as the department store. The practices of the modern depart ment store are those that we might call "cut-throat games." Its competition is illegitimate, such that no business man of principle can endorse. For instance, "bait" Is thrown out to laggard buyers. Twenty-six pounds of granulated sugar is offered for a dollar. Any man ac quainted with the price of this com modity knows that no department store can secure sugar any cheaper than the legitimate dealers, however large the quantity they purchase may be. Then who meets this loss more than 23 cents on every dollar's worth sold? This "bait" is thus thrown out that the pub lic may enter and the loss on sugar will be made up on other articles the public may be induced to buy, the price of which they are not so familiar with as they are with the price of sugar. If this be not the proper solution of this problem then what is? Surely the managers are not so magnanimous as to absolutely give away money! Hu manity is not built that way. As wo have said before, the average department store should be opposed by every right-thinking person. Because it is a monopoly. Because it encourages cheap labor. Because it encourages the manufac ture of shoddy goods. Because it is illegitimate competition. Because it is an institution of foreign origin that ought not to be counte nanced m American soil. These are some of our reasons for opposing the department store. The d"partmcnt store the world over is a monopoly, or seeks to be come such, hence they advertise to "re tail everything." It is just as censur able for a few men to control the retail business of a city as it Is for Jim Hill to control the two great northern railways across this continent, which attempt has caused such a stir in the judicial and business circles of this state, and the condemnation of everybody except the monopolists. It is a fact susceptible of the clearest demonstration that coming to this country from Egypt, and from the va rious cities of continental Europe, ev ery week, are ship-loads after ship loads of rags, the cast-off clothing of the poor of those countries, who.--e wear ers, in many cases, died of small-pox and other contagious and loathsome dis oiinea. These rags furnish, in a great measure, the raw material that keeps the shoddy mills at work preparing the cloth for the manufacture of garments to be sold "cheap," thus coming In com petition, with wool growers of the noflli, and the cotton growers of the Boulh. and who:.o principal customers ore the sweat-shops of the preat title?, tind factories whose output I.; hold to managers of d"parti sent uteres.

How is it in the department store? Over the front door the young man entering, and ambitious to establish a business for hmiself may see, if he scans close ly, these fateful words: "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here." Depart ment stores with all their glare, tinsel and elaborateness, require a great deal of capital such as no business man can accumulate in a life time. Generally speaking, these stores are established on the money of eastern capitalists. For instance, Armour, who has accumulat ed his millions by questionable meth ods, such as, in the wheat and beef combine, is now investing his millions In department stores. It is impossi ble for a young man just beginning life as a clerk ever to becomo the owner of a department store. In the event of the success of the de partment stores, what must become of the thousands of small merchants and the large army of clerks? There is but one opening for them to enter the channel of ..productive industry, and that, avenue, with the flood gates of im migration wide open, is already tilled with more men now than can be prollt aby employed. This quest jon of the department store is an important one, and it behooves every person Interested in the success of city, state and nation to carefully consider, and promptly discourage. Shut it oil before It becomes a power in the land. Let every one realize at once the great danger of this insidious ene my to business and industrial life. Mankato t.Minn.) Journal. WILL DO SAME IN OTHER STATES Wlmt tint roile'n I'urty Has Acrom pllilii'il In MoliritHka. A people's party handbook, issued by the campaign committee of Nebraska, tells what the people's party has done for that state. The same results will follow the election of the people's party ticket in other states. The reforms en acted by a people's party administra tion in Nebraska are as follows: It enacted a maximum freight law, but republican courts suspended Hs op eration. It cut down extravagant appropria tions, but a republican legislature brought them back. It brought to light the corruption ex isting in state institutions. It made possible the passage of the Australian ballot law. It enacted a law requiring stafa Liid county treasurers to make all banks give bond that handle public money, and to collect interest for the use of such money and turn it into the public fund. The last republican legislature sought to repeal this, but the governor sustained it. It enacted a law requiring intersect ing railroads to build transfer switches, and, by means of such transfer switches, ship all freight the shortest distance to destination, but a republican board of transportation has nullified it. It repealed the special bounty given to sugar refineries, which was re-enacted by the last republican legislature. It enacted the eight-hour law. It gave the stale a warehouse law. It was instrumental in securing the passage or a law to have the books of all county treasurers examined at least once every twi years. It secured the passage of an anti trust law. It secured the passage of an anti Pinkerton law. It was instrumental in having passed many other good measures. It elected the ablest United States senator that ever represented Nebraska. It elected the ablest and cleanest gov ernor who ever occupied the executive OiTlco of the state. Under his adminis tration it saved the state money by the veto of several useless and extrava gant appropriations. Wall Sirert null Third Term. The Tribune puts the whola question in a nutshell when it says "the business men of Wall street are not unfriendly to the idea of a third term for Mr. Cleve land." This is nil there is to the Cleve land third-term movement. Business men of Wall street would be. ninth-power infinites if they did not remain loyal to Mr. Cleveland. For litem he repudiated his party's solemn declarations of faith; for them he broke his party's solemn pledges to the peo p'e of the United Stales; for them he tilrl. -d t1u public treasury of million;! of doli irs.

A Striking Kxstmple of Till OIlliliU I'roatitutlon lo the Money I'nwer In loiinil in tiie Kict-h of Nccrcturjr (urllble at lloiton. The history of the world could scarcely afford a more humiliating prostitution of the corrupt influences of any ago than that which character izes the acts and utterances of United States officials in these degenerate days. A striking example of this official pros titution to the money power Is found in a spe?ch of Secretary Carlisle at a din ner of the Massachusetts Reform club in the city of Doston on Saturday, Oct. 12. In this speech Mr. Carlisle said: "The first great mistake In our cur rency legislation was made in the act of March 17, 18C2, which authorized the secretary of the treasury to issue Unit ed States notes to the amount of $150, 000,000. This was a radical and danger ous departure from I rue financial prin ciples, if not a serious infraction of the legislation of the United States. ThU depreciated paper, of course, expelled specie from circulation, but as the gov ernment had not promised to redeem it at any particular time, it subjected the treasury department to no serious responsibility or inconvenience." The above statements are not only at variance with the recorded facts of history, but there are hundreds of thou sands of men and women still living to whom those fact3 are familiar recol lections. Mr. Carlisle deliberately Plates that the depreciated paper issued by authority of the act of March 17, 1SG2, expelled specie from circulation. Th3 fact is specie payments were sus pended by all of the banks Decem ber 30, 18C1. over three months before the act of authorizing the issue of treas ury notes was passed, and there was no specie in circulation from that time until after resumption which took place nominally In 1879. Mr. Carlisle is not ignorant of this fact. When he made the statement that the depreciated treasury notes drove specie from circu lation ho deliberately stated that which he knew to be false. There are a few facts bearing upon the financiering of the times that may be appropriately recked in this connec tion. Mr. Casca St. John Cole has col lated these facts and published them In so concise a form in his little pam phlet, "Cold Facts," that we shall sim ply quote and accredit to him. He says: In the Rankers Mgar.'.re, January, 187G, (leorge P. Coe, president of the American Exchange Hank of New York, tells of the meeting. August !), lSiil, of thoe who "were snppo-ed to ponrrss or control capital" with Mr. Chafe at the house of John J. Cif.ro. the assistant treasurer of I he United .States In New York.

BUT VERY SICK. . i . s i j tv r ' Well, the associated banks claimed to have loaned the "associated people" -the government $130,000,000 In specie and Mr. Coe further says: "After taking tho third amount of $30,000,000 by the associated banks, those in New York, who had at that time paid in of their proportion over $80,000,000 In all. found themselves In this position: Their aggregato coin, which on the 17th of August, before tho first payment Into tho treasury, was $19,733,9!)0, was on Dec. 7, $12,318,010, a reduction of only $7.415,3S0, and the other two cities In like proportion. It may bo confidently affirmed that had tho banks been permitted to exercise their own methods, they could have continued their advances in sums of $30,000,000 for an Indefinite period." Great Caesar's ghost! Just think of it; the banks of New York had loaned the government over $80,000,000 in specie, out of a stock of $40,733,!)!)0, and had reduced their stock of specie $7,413, 380. They had loaned nearly twice as much specie ns they possessed, and had the government's bonds for nearly eleven times as mt;ch money as they had lost in coin. And, "had the banks been permitted to exercise their own methods, they could have continued their advances in sums of $30,000,000 for an indefinite period." The explanation of "their own meth ods" by which they were enabled to perform these acts of legerdemain miy be found in the following extract from a speech of Thaddeus Stevens In tho House of representatives, February 5, 1SC2: "Before the banks had paid much of the last loan they broke down under it, and suspended r.pecle payments. They have continued to pay that loan, not in coin, but in demand notes of the gov ernment." In another speech February 20, 18C2, Mr. Stevens said: "The banks took $30,000,000 of G per cent bonds, and shaved the government $38,000,000 on them. They paid for the $30,000,000 in demand notes, not spcle." Query: If the demand notes were not good money for the banks were they good money for tho hanks to loan to the government at this trying period of its existence? Was it a mistake to Issue treasury notes to meet the vaM. expenditures of the government under such circum stances? There was a mistake, or something worse than a mistake com mitted, but it was not of the character indicated by Mr. Carlisle. The govern ment should have issued United Stntes currency in mflieient amount to meet all the requirements of that trying period. This currency, Instead of being a promise to pay, should have been re deemable only In receipt for i.ixes end public dues. It should have been a full legal tender for all d'-bts both pub lic ami private, and no pro len should h ive hem made for Its comerslon Into Interest-bearliiR hoadn.

An Associate PreBS dispatch Just after election says: ".Since it has been demonstrated that the Democratic party Is so badly divided everywhere, especially on the currency question iu tho south, Dem ocratic leaders in Alabama, where the Slato campaign, which will culminate In the Slate election next August, Is on the eve of opening, nro seriously considering the advisability of stop ping all discussion Inside the parly of currency and turning their attention to reuniting tho Democratic parly for the coming contest." This dinpnteh was from Alabama, and referred to a conference held be tween Senators Morgan and Pugh and other prominent silver Democrats of the south who have been making a vigorous campaign for freo silver. Hut lilto many other pretended silver men in the party they regard iirlnciple na a subordinate matter. , Democratic silver men must elthe: pull down their signs or get out of the party. The wholesale defeat of the Democratic party renders all talk of reform "Inside tho party" uselesa. Kven If the parly were not divided against itself there would be no hope of its carrying out any measure at nil. The people have lost all confidence In its professions and would not give It an other chance though it declared by ail tho angels in heaven that It stood solidly In favor of freo silver and all other great national reform principles. Tho gold-bugs of the east prefer the Republican party, and tho true silver men are thoroughly disgusted with Democracy. The Democratic party has been driven from the field in con fusion. Neither gold-bugs nor silver men can endorso its vacillating, uncer tain, cowardly policy. East, west, north and south the Democratic party is a wreck. One kind of a Democrat can not be distinguished from another in the general macs of obliteration. The very name Democrat has become a dis grace In the eyes of the people. Come out from among them, If you wish to stand up for principle. Da not call yourself a Democrat any longer, unless you wish to talie chances of being buried alive In the panic grave with the dead.

Not One Piililla Act of the Prealilfttit IIiu Her it Coimplcnon As Tending Toward Promoting the (ieneral Wel fare Wholly a Servant of Moniitmljr. President Clevfland said la hl3 speeth at Atlanta, Oa.: "We snail walk In tho path of pa triotic ttuty If, remembering that our iree Institutions were established to promote the general welfare, we strive for those things which benefit all our people and each of uu Is content to re ceive from a common fund his share o the prosperity thus contributed. Wo shall mi.- our duty and forfeit our heri tage if. In narrow seHhilinesH, wo ire heedless of the general welfare and, Miuggle to wrest from the government private advantages which can only bo gained ut the expense of our fellow country men." The sentiment contained in the above Is good, very good, but Mr. Cleveland' has at ied out the very opposite. What net of Mr. Cleveland since his Inaugura tion bus tended to "promote the gaict-al welfare?" Does the establishment of tbVrrold standard promote the "general wel fare?" If no, robbing the mask's and fattening the classen Is Mr. Cleveland' Idea of serving the "general welfare." Did the negotiations with a foreign bank syndicate to furuluh gold to main tain a nut leps geld restrvo at a profit to the syndicate of not less than f3).oiW,(W) thereby In addition piling a gold prin cipal a.'id Intercut debt on future gen eraiioiiM, "promote the general welfare," or was It "wrest lug from tin? govern ment private advantage!?" Was the act of ordering out the fed eral army to shoot down laboring men in the Chicago rail road strike Inspired by a desire to "promote the general welfare" or the welfare of the railroad corporations? Not one public uct of the present ex ecutive lias been conspicuous as tend ing toward promoting the general wel fare, but rather to promoting the wel fare of trusU and combined, the bankj and money combinations. The success of combinations of capi tal must come from the depression of. tho welfare of the people. When com binations of capital are profitable that profit must come from tho ruin of soma other Interest. Combines live from rob bing the general welfare, and without robbery they could not exist a day, Mr. Cleveland's course has b:en wholly devoted to promoting the welfare of the combinations of capital, which noces icarlly results to the detriment of the public welfare. It could not possibly bo otherwise. After the record Mr. Cleveland has made by lib! every public act, favoring special welfares instead of the public welfare, It is not only cheeky, but an. Insult to an Intelligent people for him to hypocritically proclaim his devotion to the public welfare. The people Judge a man by his act3 rather than by hln words. If Mr. Cleve land hail followed In the footsteps of lite Immortal Jackson and seized the money; monster by the neck and choked the life out of it, he then could consistently, call upon the people to sanction his ad vocaey and practice of upholding tho public welfare. He has done the re verse. He has rather choked the lifo out of the public, laid waste the heritage of the common people and aided plu tocracy to enter Into the homes of tho masses of wealth producers and confis cate them to their use and profit. Thea to talk about "striving to do these things which benefit all our people:" Hash! A man who will thiu publicly; advertise bis hypocrisy should have been hisst d from the stand, even though, he may, by sonic lli-fato to the people, hold ihe office of chief executive. Tho things that are Caesar's should b't ren dered unto Caesar, but tho things that belong to the people they nhould de mand and enjoy. If C.iii.ar U net con tent wi'h the things that are bis, but treks to rolt. oppi 's!i uiitl enclave tho people, then tli. sooner mii-h a Caesar encounter a linitus, t ho Hooner tho peopl.) will enjoy thtlr inaib'nabld nv,h!.. - Sou .lii'rn M rctny.
