disheartens reformers. He would not

Tbe meanest thing the imperialists
bave done Is their labored effort to
make Providence responsible for their
mania for grabbing other people's
lands. These American Imperialists
cut a sorry figure when placed along
side of that mighty Imperialist Fred
erick tbe (J rent. He was honest in bis
land grabblng-thut Is, bonest In as
suming the responsibility. After he
bad gobbled up Silesia from Maria
Theresa as a result or the Keren Years'
war. one of bis ministers undertook
to demonstrate that that act of expan
sion was tbe will of Uod to further
, tbe ends of civilization. But when
tbe name of Uod had been written
Frederick roared: "Strike It out! Leave
Uod out of that! Say I did It!" Fred
erlck was one of the greatest soldiers
that ever lived. Lie was much of a
cynic. Ills enemies charged that he
was an atheist, but the foregoing In
cldent proves that the grim old fighter
bad more reverence for Uod than bave
tbe oleaginous hypocrites who try to
, unload their own sins upon tbelr Cre
ator. ;

tVooal Palp Traat.
General Winflcld Scott Hancock, or
; "Hancock tbe Superb." as his soldiers
loved to call him, bad a great deal of
fuo poked at him when he was ran'
Ing for president In 1880 because be
declared tbe tariff to be "a local Issue,
That utterance contributed largely to
hut defeat. But. after all. was not
Hancock correct? Is It not a local Is
sue? In congress do not representa
tives and senators voice, or undertake
to voice, the sentiments of their con
stituents on the tariff? True, there
are great universal principle, philo
sophic and moral, underlying the ques
tion, easily chief of which Is this: "Has
the government any right to take one
man's money and give it to another,
thereby Impoverishing the one pro
tanto and enriching the other?" That
is the wliole protective tariff problem
lu one sentence.
But 1 did not start out to write a
thesis on the tariff, but to' affirm a
proposition which the giddy and un
thinking will scout even more super
ciliously than they did Ueneral Han
cock's theory, and It Is this: "In Its
application the high protective Issue
Is an individual question." ; It all de
pends on whose ox Is gored whether
a man favors It. Some persons are In
a situation to mat 3 , their opinions
known, while others are uot. For ex
ample, editors are most favorably situ
ated of all our citizens for publicly
expressing their private opinions and
airing their Individual griefs, and they
geuernlly tuke full advantage of their
situation. I am not complaining of
this; far from It. v Au coutrnlre. 1 con
gratulate them on their superior posi
tion and on having the courage to
howl when anybody steps on their
corns. I wish most fervently that all
Americans had, as good facilities as
our. editorial friends for.maklug them
selves beard. If that were the case,
even the present Republican congress
would be compelled to remodel aud're
vlse downward the Dlugley bill of
abominations, and. what's more. Presi
dent McKlnley, chief priest In tbe tem
ple of high protection, would not dare
to veto a tariff bill for revenue only
or a free trade bill. Just now our
editorial brethren are ululating about
the paper triint, which Is a daughter
of tbe Dlqgley bill. They have abun
dant cause for kicking, and It must be
Bald to their credit that they are kick
ing vigorously, They can give cards
and spades to the most lusty mule In
the laud at his favorite game and beat
him. Wherefore? Simply because
their ox Is gored. ' ; ,

Dr. W. N. Urnham. business man
ager or the Sednlla (Mo.) Evening Dem
ocrat, says to me in a private letter:
"Early In September. 1S0U. we bought
a carlond of news print at $1.8.. f. o.

in carload lots " tf off such 'obnoxious congressional agl-
n Ti...m' ,m. r tho pulton tators and brash seekers after truth
(Mo. Sun. after editorially reviewing
the splendid tight his paper has made
for a year acnlnst trusts In general,
comes down ,in inislnes? btindsXuuely
and says:
While our fight ona year ago wu disinterested
and unselfish. It la today a battle for our very
lift. When we began the Bght, we aaw no danger
to our business, but today -the great paper trust
threatena to gobble up alt the little printing
planta, and our right la now a light for life, a bat
tle In aelf defense.
In 189V the white paper The Sun was printed on
coat ua tl.SGO. In 1WJ0 the an me paper (same In
quality and mm amount) will coat us, at present
truat prices, C1H0, a difference of $820 in the
coat ot one Item, hite paper. Type and ink
bave also advanced In price, and the wages to
employee cannot be made any lower.
The Sun ia between the paper truat, the type
truat and tlie machinery truat on one aide and our
subscriber on the other aide.
The Sun ia between two stones, and the mill la
grinding. If we charge only tl a year for Th
Bun lu 1000 and th trusts hold the price ol paper
Slid type up. The Sun will be ground tu'powuer.
If our subscribers will give ua a little fighting
ground aud one more year, w believe wt can
whip the trusts.
The tariff ot M per ton on paper haa enabled
the International Paper company, a trust, to ad
vance the price of paper bi per cent. Thia trust
la Incorporated lor ttu.OUu.OUd and coniruia 85 of
tb S8 paper mill in the United States. .
Mr. Thomas truthfully adds: "A tax
on paper is a tax ou intelligence. The
papers are the schools and libraries for
the great masses of the people."
Tbe two Missouri editors above nam
ed are Democrats. "There are others,"
and lots of them, kicking, among whom
are divers and sundry Republican ed
itors, for "their ox Is gored" even unto
death. The average editor must raise'
bis subscription price or go to tbe wad.
But to Increase his subscription rate Is
merely to transfer the blackmail levied
by the trust from the shoulders of the
editor to the shoulders of his renders.
which Is the old and condemucd per
formance of "robbing Peter to pay
Paul." The remedy Is to "bust the
trust." thus at one blow liberating both
editor and subscriber from the bands
of highway robbers. Consequently I
have prepared and will Introduce Jan.-
8, 1900. a bill to place white print pa
per, wood pulp and all the materials
used In manufacturing tbe same upon
tbe free list.
This paper and wood pulp trust is
not a particle worse than hundreds of
other trusts, such as the tobacco trust,
tbe wire and nail trust, the glass trust,
etc.. ad nauseam et ad Infinitum. Why,
then, do 4 begin on the paper and wood
pulp trust? Simply and frankly be
cause tbe chnnces are that tbe edito
rial fraternity of America may be able
to persuade enough Republican repre
sentatives to vote for my bill to carry
It through. It's a good place to begin.
Self preservation Is the first law of na
ture, and a Republican editor tins no
more relish for being ruined and driven
out of business for the benefit of a
trust than has his Democratic brother.

It Is awful to think of! Lymnn J.
Gage Is to be Investigated by con Kress
-that Is, If the Philadelphia North

and If tbe proceedings do not bang

Being their sworn friend, entertain
ing the highest regard for their shin
ing talents and splendid personalities,
I haw studied their case carefully and
prayerfully, and 1 see only one faint
ray of hope for their safety, and It Is
this: The North 'American says that
the news of Lyman's unprecedented
largess to that New York ( bank "has
aroused the Interest of politicians in
Washington." Now. It Is possible
barely possible that that amazing bit
of news may also "arouse the Interest
of" somebody else tb wit. the numeW
ous national banks who do not get any
of Lyman's swag. Mark Twain once
sagely remarked that "we all have a
heap of human nature In us." National
banks who are not In on the ground
floor of Lyman's scheme may exhibit
a uiodicum of this suuie human na
ture, may get on their ears and may
also clamor for "information." don't
you know? In which case Ualnes of

as may survive tbe wrath of Lyman.

escape tbe destroyer a consummation
devoutly to be wished-but if Lyman

Dry Convention.
Philadelphia has captured the Repub
lican national convention, and Kansas
City will bag the Democratic. In all
human probability tbey will be the two
driest and dullest conventions ever
held by the great parties. The presl
dential candidates. Bryan and McKin
ley. are already selected, unless death
Intervenes. Tbe platforms are prac
tically settled lu advance. Nothing re-
mnius, therefore, except a small conten
tlon as to vice presidential candidates.
National conventions usually are pro
ductive of some splendiferous oratory,
but even this will be wanting, for an
orator might as well undertake to thrill
bis audience wltb a thesis on the uses
of the grindstone as on who shall be
tbe tailpiece on either ticket As to tbe

GOT ITS CHOICE.
Tbe Nebraska Independent took time

over 1.000 leeters from the fusion people
over the stite indorsing Senator Alien
for the Kenstonal vacancy which was
tilled by tbe appointment of the man of
its choice. Nebra-tka Homestead.
BRIBED THE COURTS.
No mm will uretend that tbe millions
of the Goulds and VanderbilUwea-e hon
eat labor products. They were obtained
by "watering stocks of railrona ana
elegrnpn , lines, and making the multl
tude pay interest on capital that never
existed. To enforce these robberies they
bribed the courts, and bought, up 1-m--latures,
and to tnl ed pu' 1 O oi i lion
through the t.ir lin newpper, and
emornlized the whole country, until
they have brought the republic to the
erge of destruction. -The Kepre.senta
tive, , .
JUST TAXATION1. -Men
should be taxed, not according to
their "ability to pay," but in proportion
to tho benelits which they derive from
he government which is muintnmed by
the taxen they pay. Surely the man
who has 1100,000 worth of property to
protect, whether it be land or bonds or
money, should pay more taxes than the
man who nas but 91,000 worth; and he,
in turn, should pay more than the man
who has nothing.
The rich are the principal beneficiar
ies of government. If it was abolished
the poor would have little to nteal, and
heir strong arms would be fully able-to
protect what they had. But the rich
would have to hire an army to defend
their possessions from the hungry multi
tude; in other words, to take the place
of tbe police officers, courts juries, and
troops whii.'h now protect them.
Therefore a proposition to relieve ac
cumulated wealth, not invested in land,
of all taxation and pile it on the owners
of real estate, and then tell the masses
o make their homes on the land and
pfly the taxes taken off the shoulders of
the money lenders, the usurers, the
bondholders, the railroads, the mer
chants, tbe speculators, etc., etc., is a
proposition too cross and horrible to be
considered for an instant.
The wealth of the country is pushing
this single tax crusade. They have been
encouraged, by past political events, to
believe that the mass of tbe people are
irredeemable fools, and that they can be
deceived into shouldering the burdens
f plutocracy, tinder the pretense that
they can obtain homes.
And are they not justified when they
remember that a few years ago the in
telligent foreigners of Minnesota voted
for an amendment to the constitution to
deprive themselves of citizenship?
