Without that itlruulua given totba trade, Iron and steel would be a drug on the market. But this temporary advance only means permaneot disaster. When the taxation tbat must result to pay the bill tbat the natiooi are now contracting begin to preen jipon the worker of the world, they will se the folly of It all. Tbe temporary riei will pas away, and tbe effect of the policy will be a burden weighing down generation yet unborn. ' McKinley' commissioner In tbe Philippine promle the Inhabitant of that country a rnuub better government than tbe republican party ha ever given tbi country. They ay . to the Filipino tbat If they will only lay down their arm and quit talking about Inde pendence they will give tbem an effective civil aerv iee reform and tbat "the collec tion and application of all taie and other revenue will be placed , upon a aound, ecotidmlcal bol and tba public fuuds, raieed justly and collected honest ly." If the Filipino are at all poeted upon tbe condition In tbi country, they will bave aome doubt about tbe fulfilment of auob promise a that. However if they doubt it, tbe thing I to hoot them o full of lead tbat they will doubt no more. In tbe old day when the republican party wa first organised their drey ora tor Invadod every part of the north and the bnsls of all their speeches was tbe Declaration of Independence. Tbat was the armor, shield and buckler. Now the regublican orators declare that prin ciples enunciated in tbat document are Imply "glittering generalities," The first president of tba republican party fought a great war to freT 5, 000,000 blacks and expended more tnao a billion of dollars to secure their freedom. Their last president bought 10,000,000 brown men and paid 120,000,000 for them.

The truly rellglou and mow balntly New York Tribune ba discovered tbat Itryan Is an Infamou blaphemr wbo arrow worse M time goo on. It ay be began bla awful career with the crown of thorn and cross of gold simile at tbe Chicago convention and roacbed a cul minating point In bla wicked career the other day at Ulrmlngbam, Alabama, when be culd: "Just as a good Christian would revolt at having tbe aacremout administered by an infidel, so a good democrat object to having a Jefferson Ian banquet presided over by Terry Hel mut." ' Tbi Is truly awful. There should be a general assembly of the religion leador of tbe United State called Immediately to devise some mean whereby Ilryan can be silenced. If be I allowed to go In this way, atheism will be enthroned aud religion abollehed. Wbltelaw JloW should use bis great dally to get such a convention together and should be made chairman of it. Bryan must be silenced. If be is not no one can toll what may hnppen. ' MKtVKMULAMU IIKATIIEN. The corporation of the eastern states are exceedingly anxious to civilice the heathen of the Islands of tbe sea, and ome of their minister seem to think that It I our duty and destiny to end our war ship to roaming over tbe earth for tbe purpose of shooting Christianity Into them with thirteen Inch. gun. Meantime it seem tbat the heathen are lucreaaing very fast right in tbe New England states which once 'were dotted with theological seminaries and flliod with churches. Tbe governor of New Hampshire, in a recent proclamation, speaking of bis own state, says: "There are towns where no church bell sends forth Its solemn call from January to January; there ure villogee where chil dren grow to manhood uuchristened; there are communities where tbe dead are laid awuy without the beuizon of the name of Christ and where marriages are solemnised ouly by justices." Would it not be good policy to recall some of our troops from the l'bilippines and end u em to New England with their maguiine guns and automatic rifles to shoot oio Christianity into tb heathen there? Tba truth of the matter is Just what I'rof. Herron said, "this devil worship onlled chrUtkuity." MANNA'S LAST BCUKMC The goldito literary bureau netflct no portion of their immense Interests.

Aoon aa McKinley took big seat he began to pardon bank presidents .nH muihlara who had been aent to prison for stealing the hard earned deposit of tbe poor. There ia a long list of tbee, Then there is the Carter court martial, He wa convicted by a military court of erohezrllng over a million dollars. Ill case baa been In tb president' band for month without action. Lately there la tb Engan case, perbop the most disgraceful , of alt. Although con vioted and sentenced by a court martial to dismissal from tbe service for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman McKinlev rearranged tba sentence eo that Kagan will draw from the govern mont, according to the mortality tabli- of tb Insurance com pan lea, f 78,000 and live In Idleness and ease for tbe rest of hi life, That sentence simply mean tbat the honest and just accumulations, or what should be tbe accumulations of 78,000 toiler after ft life time of work, boa been taken away from them by McKinley and given to this acoundrel Kagan, It moan tbe making of 78,000 laves to reward an act of treachery by a military pot. It i McKinley much more than Kagan wbo I tbe guilty one, T11M KIHT NKBBAIKA. In regard to tbe return of tbe ' volun teer now serving In the Philippine, tbe situation seems to be, and it h) 09 use to try to doCelVe ourselves however much WB Want the First Nebraska sent borne, about this: According to the terms of enlistment, tbe First is entitled to an Im mediate discharge, but if the volunteer are scut home before reinforcement ar rive, the troops toft would be la danger of extermination, It I not to be up posed tbat tbe administration will take any such risk, To keep tbe boy longer In tbe Philippine only require a con. tructlon put upon tbe lata act of con gress that tbat act can easily bear. Tbero I not a particle of doubt tbat McKinley will stand by the construction made by tbs attorney general Jjie other day which was to the efie'ct tbat tbe president bad the authority to bold them for six month more, and it I tbe opinion of thl paper tbat tbat I what will be done. Tbe only bop of getting tbe boy of the First home again in tbe near future I to stop the war on the Filipino. If tbe friend of the First would demand a change in this imper ialistic policy Instead of supporting it, a so many of them do, they would not only relieve themsolves of constant self contradiction, but could present an argument tbat would have force, THE TKVSTM. A farmer In tbe northern part of the state writes tbat be is puxzled beyond measure at the enormous capitdllx tlon of the new trusts that bave been or ganised during tbe last few month. , He says: "I can't understand it at all. Will you try to enlighten me and other among your reader on that subject? In a paper tbat I take, it I stated that tbe known trust bave ft capital of over four billions of dollar. Where did all tble enormoua amount of capital come from?" Itcomoe from nowhere. Two-third of It I water. Trust formation I simply a cruw that boa seized opon the people. Every generation has been afflicted by a like craze and tbi will result just as all of tbem have resulted in the bankruptcy of thousands. Look at it dispassionately for a mo ment and see how absurd It I. Accord ing to ths census of 1890 the manufac turing capital oltba whole United State amounted to $0,139,877,485. During the last six month trust have been or ganism witbacapital of 14,185,480,700. Take Into consideration tbat the value of manufacturing plants baa greatly de creaead sines 1800, ths fall of prlnea af- lectin them as well aa all other kind of property. Doe not tb simple state ment ol tb tact prove tbat the forma tion of trust hi simply a financial scheme for the most part baring In view the shearing of tbe lambs who invest In tbeir sto'ks? The reason why tb- owners ol manu facturing plant ar so willing to sell put to tbt trust I because their work "vaot beaa profltabl tad beraua there wa little or ao money to b mad la running tbem, notwithstanding tbat McKinley baa "opened tb wllla" and tb-re la a great wave ol proeperlty ) Ingover tb coo a try.

X-W W ft I tlaat o aaUarlt J OZT TOOKTBEB. Mayor Jonea mixes up term when he is talking and writing in such a confus ing way tbat there is much excuse to call him almost anything. At one time, If w are to judge from the term be uses, be la a democrat, a minute afterward he la a socialist, while he all the time in slstson calling himself a republican. rThe orlncloles he advocates are neither republican nor socialistic, but are popu lism as defined in tbe national and state platform of tbe populist party. The following extract from an Interview with blm, published In the April Coming Age, will illttrate tbe criticism. "The acceptance of the Idea of democ racy involve a dismissal from tbe rnlud of any thought of cla or classes, and this degrading notion has always hin dered the progress of the world. Tbe Idea that a few of us are endowsd with the 'divine right of kings and are es pecially fitted to govern or rule what w have called tbe lower classes, is undemo cratic, as well a unchristian and of course oobrotberly, and worst of oil It I unacientlfls. , "If we are a democracy we must be lieve In the people; therein no escape from tbat conclusion. If w believe in the people, we must believe tbat we are going to be saved altogether or lost al together, and it i my belief tbat w are making progress toward nobler Ideas of democracy and brotherhood than we bar ever yot dreamed of. I M tula io the growing desire to enlarge tbe funo tion of government in ministering to the social want of tbe people; and we bave long since recognized tb Import ance of the thing tbat we call education and have practically made that as free a tbe air w breathe, to I believe tbat we shall enlarge our conceptions of what constitute education, and make such things a bath, gymnasia, play ground etc,, a fre to all a tbe com mon school now Is. ' . In that passage be uses tbe term "democracy." In tbe very next sentence be call tbe same thing "socialism" and says: - "There Is no room to doubt that fifty per cent of tba sum now expended In so called restraining and charitable meth od, If expended In some reasonable way along socialist lines, so a to enlarge tb privilege of tbe people and to provide opportunities for tbem, would within twenty-five year place our almshouses, jails, penitentiaries and prisons very largely In tbe domain of the relic of tbe hideous past." Out of tbe propagation of tbe princi ples contained In tbe Omaha platform has grown a great controversy that Is attracting tbe attention of all men the learned and unlearned alike. The time has come when tbe system of govern ment there outlined should have a term to describe it. It Is different from any thing tba world ba ever given atten tion before. It should be named and la belled. It results only lu confusion to call it one minute democracy, tbe next socialism and tbe next something else. Worse than that, it divide tbe believer into hostile camps, when they should all be in one camp. It pluces tbem in dif ferent parties when they should be In one party. The eewnce of this system is as Pro fessor Stuckeuberg has expressed it in his article in another column of this paper, "Whatever pertains to the pub lic must be managed b&tbe public In tbe intereat of the public aud whati private must be left to private management." That is the populist theory of manage ment. It Is not socialism. It Is not re publicanism. It has not beon the theory of tbe democratic party In tb past, al though that party is fast coming to adopt It. Why shonld not all persons wbo be- lev In this theory of government agr upon a term to describe It and then all get together Into one party and work together to eatabllah It in thea United Htatea? It I tb demand of the age. It I being partially adopted, la every eivlliied government on earth. Every political party haa In ft meaaura, at lawat, to reeognlie It. Why not maka a traigtit Uu upon It? Why not get together? Why not?

Then tbe government passed a law that every gold yen should be worth two yen. That act doubled the money power of tbe gold yen and beside that, tba gold Immediately went Into tbe circulation. In thla way tbe volume of money in cir culation ia Japan wa more than doubled and price and wage Imniedi atelyrote, Counting each gold yen an ouly one, wbea la purchasing power It (two, and making no mention of tb fact tbat none were In circulation at tbe time, a reduction la tbe number of yen couJdbe figured out But what will honest men think of such a writer?

S UUAVITATION KKVKItNKU, One source of the very great increas in tb circulation of tbe money of Japan which wa not enumerated In the article on that subject lu another column, I tb use of credit money, Formerly Japan bad none at all, but the financier were quick to avail themselves of it after a law was passed permitting tbem to do 0, credit money is used In that coun try now to the same extent it is here, The Increase in tbe volume of money io Japan, taking into account tb coming Into circulation of gold, the doubling of the value of gold by law, the use of credit money, the facilities of handling money through bank aud in other way ba been enormous. Tito result bn been, a ft great advance in wage and price. It I probabl;that if a goldbug Washing ton correspondent should announce that tb law of gravitation bad been re versed In Japan, and that every loose thing was flying upwards, tbe whole re publican press would declare that It wa so and denounce every man wbo d.mled it as a copperhead. It should always be held la mind that when republicans talk about "reform" they inteud to make thing worse. When they say that they are going to "reform thecurrency" they mean that they will give u worse and more of it than w bay ever had before. Hardy's Column.

Under these circumstances It will hardly be possible for McKinley to send any troop borne until otlwr arrive to take their place.
