Harmony In Missouri.
It will be a great pleasure to Demo
crats oatside the state who have been
alarmed by the. twaddle of the Globe
Democrat If such there beto know
that harmony prevails among the Dem
ocrats of Missouri, the first Democratic
state In the Union, and that all the
signs of the times Indicate a sweeping
Democratic victory this fall. Nobody
knows this better, than the G.-D. It is
merely whistling to keep its courage
up. Both at Springfield, where three
candidates for supreme Judge were
nominated, and at St. Joe. where the
railroad commissioners, superintendent
of public schools and chairman of the
state committee were nominated, there
were contests more or lees heated
about men and measures, which were
to be expected which were Inevitable.
In fact but the platforms are good,
what the people want, and while excel
lent men were defented men above re
proach and in every way capable were
nominated. Of the thirteen Democrat
ic congressmen eleven have been re
nominated, generally without opposi
tion, and will . be re-elected. The
chances arj? that Missouri will have
fifteen Democrats In the next bouse
out of a possible sixteen, that the state
ticket will have a satisfactory major
ity and that the legislature will be
Democratic In both branches. Nothing
succeeds Hke. success. and no party
anywhere ever made a finer record
since states were first invented than
have the Democrat of MUwouri in the
conduct of her, financial affairs, the
one thing which most nearly concerns
the great body of taxpayers.
Roosevelt Stab'ocd by Organ Grinder.
A close and systematic; reading of
Republican papers will disclose the
bitter warfare Inside the G. O. P.
. In bis Fourth of .July, speech at Pitts
burg President . . RooseTelt. under, the
Inspiring influence of a great con
coTir of shouting people and tem
porarily forgetful of Hon. Stephen B,
Elklna and . tho rest of the senatorial
Boxrro. exclaimed. "Reciprocity with
Cuba 1 as sure as fate." Everybody
knows that he did his utmost to in

procity bUL He sent In a special, mes

governor general of Cuba, spent thou
sands of dollars "forming public epin
ioo in America t af erH 1etb
cchomo. Thai president threatened to
call an extra session of congress.
Now comes the St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
organ grinder . of Missouri Re
publicans, Missouri patronage having
beca disposed of, and stabs the presi
dent under tho fifth rib. The G.-D..
under tho caption, "Going Beyond Rec
iprocity," says:
Bona tor Burtea of Kansas maoa an ex
tended speeoh this week at Topaka before
a largo aaaerabla in xvhioh ha sot forth
the argumants that Induced a large num
ber of Republloan senators to oppose tho
Cuban ooncoaeions bill as reported by tha
senate oommlttee. Tho main point is
that tho concessions proposed go beyond
all former conoaptlona or definitions of
reciprocity and assail tho protective prin
ciple ltaalf. So clearly was this fact es
tablished in debate that Mr. Burtcn as
sarts, "There are not fifteen Republican
senators out of tho fifty-four who aro in
favor of tho present bill at heart" Tho
longer tho bill was discucaed in tho son
ate the weaker It became, and the chief
reason Is tho assault on protection coiled
up in tho measure. That bill breaks down
all former limitations of what Is called
reciprocity. Reciprocity as advocated
originally by Mr. Blaine, as Senator Bur
ton points out, was the admission into
tbo American market, without duty, of
the articles which wo do not or cannot
produce on condition that tho countries
with which tho arrangement Is made
should grant an equivalent reduction for
our products. From this attitude on. a
reciprocity, strictly guarded as to our
own productions, the Republican party
has never varied. The last Republican na
tional platform refers only to a reciproc
ity "so directed as to open our markets
on favorable terms for what we do not
ourselves produce in return for freo for
eign markets."
The same limitation, most lucidly ex
pressed, appears in President McKinley's
last speech, that made at Buffalo the day
before he was struck down at tho post of
duty. "Reciprocity." said President Mc
Klnley in his address of Sept. E last, "is
the natural outgrowth of our wonderful
Industrial development under the domes-:
tic policy "now firmly established." The
policy referred to Is, of course, protec
tion. President McKlnley said In tho
same speech: "By sensible trade arrange
ments which will not interrupt homo pro
duction wo shall extend the outlets for
our increasing surplus. We should take
front our customers such of their products
as wo can use without harm to our own
industries and labor." The reciprocity
which Blaine, McKlnley and the Repub
lican national platform favored is ex
plicitly Intrenched In behalf of protec
tion. It was not intended to apply to any
product of our own. But what Is found
in the Cuban concession bill? It is a re
moval of all duties on Cuban imports ,re
gardless of whether we produce the same
articles or not. About twenty articles
were to be. admitted at a, reduction, some
of which' we produce ourselves. To call
this wholesale reduction anything resem
bling what the Republican party or lead
ers have hitherto favored under the name
of reciprocity Is ridiculous.
Free traders saw the vital distinction,
and eagerly Jumped forward to get in
their entering wedge. All sincere Repub
licans did not see It, but enough were
sufficiently caiitlous to eave the party
from. making a breach in "the firmly es
tablished policy."
The truth about the Cuban concession
bill la that it proposed a so called reci
procity wholly unknown to tho Repub
lican party, to Mr. Blaine or Mr. McKln
ley. A Republican congress discovered
the falsities In the case and, greatly to
its credit, halted them outside of -the ln
trenchments of the protective policy.
A Dagger In the Back.
That editorial does not contain the
name of Theodore Roosevelt, but ev
ery word of It is Intended as a dagger
not fcr his breast, but for his back.
He can write it on the tablets of his
memory that the Globe-Democrat is
dead against him and will deprive him
of the Missouri delegation in the next
Republican national convention if It
can; but It can't Roosevelt may lose
the delegation, but not through the in
fluence of the G.-D., for it has none in
selecting delegates. Hon. Richard C
Kerens will attend to that job. If the
president will take the pains to read
the foregoing editorial from the G.-D.
carefully, he will be very much sur
prised to learn that he is to be fought
on the grounds that be la not Bound on
the tariff and that he Is a free trader.
The war Is on. The G.-D. has evident
ly enlisted under the Hanna banner,
and Colonel Roosevelt must look to the
condition of his guns and ammunition
If he does not sleep with at least one
eye open, Ue will be stabbed to death
la the house of bis friends, 1
I am aware that the G.-D. editorial
is a very long quotation to make In
these letters, but the space Is well used
if my readers learn from It the lesson
which It teaches that the Republicans
are hopelessly divided Into bitter ..fac
tions, which will grow more bitter as
the days go by. Democrats have ev
ery reason to be hopeful as to the re
sults of the campaign now on. To
your tents. O Israel!
There can be no qnestion about the
G.-D. having It in for the president.
It virtually charges him with being a
free trader in the following remarks
about the Cuban reciprocity bill;
Therefore it Is Impossible to see how
tho new republic can bo ruined by the
defeat of the proposed double reduction.
It would be much nearer tho truth to say
that tho failure of the bill would be a
source of . loss . to certain sharp np-"-latora
and a deep disappointment to free
traders who are anxious to break down
tho protective principle at a new point
and in a new way.
Query: Rocs the G.-D. in that para
graph Intend to charge President
Uosevelt and all other advocates of
the Cuban reciprocity bill with being
"sharp speculators?"
ii Item: The G.-D. returns to its charge
of being a free trader in the following
paragraph: '
All tho froo trade papers continue to in
sist that Cuba will be ruined unless the
protection of American Industries Is bro
ken down, but tho people of tho United
8tata are not oaslly fooled by free trade
gammon. -. ; .. 1 ; v.,
ij Now, If a paper la a free trade' pa
IrLfv dvoeatinl5Mnjw!r
ere not the president and other Repub
lican statesmen aleo free traders for
advocating the same thing?
But the most un kindest cut of all, to
borrow a phrase from Shakespeare,
that the G.-D. has administered to the
president li the following:
General J. II. Smith, who was sent to
quiet the Island of Samar, in which tho
natives wero massacring our soldiers to
a shocking oxtent and who accomplished
bis mission with tho highest degreo of ef
fectiveness, has been retired by the presi
dent for alleged "loose and violent talk"
in the presence of subordinate ofacers.
General Smith is near tho retiring ago
and has little to lose In that respect but
ho is still a vigorous and capable man.
Ho performed a great, and extremely dif
ficult service to his country In Samar and
enjoys tho highest esteem of his fellow
officers and of his fellow citizens, as time
will ohow. In tho Opinion of a great
many persons General Smith's alleged of
fense is of a far lighter nature than that
of General "Wood in devoting funds from
tho Cuban treasury to further a political
and economic abjoct In tho United States.
General Smith will discover on returning
to tho United States that ho is at no dis
count with his fellow countrymen.
Does not the Globe-Democrat know
that President Roosevelt Indorses Gen
eral Wood's action in using funds from
the ' Cuban treasury 5 as he did use
them? Aye, more, does not the G.-D.
know that in his speeches in and about
Boston the president held General
Wood and Secretary Eiihu Root up to
the admiring gaze of all the world as
great and virtuous men, whose exam-'
pie all creation would, do well to Imi
tate? The president lauds Wood and
punishes gmith. The G. D. lauds Smith
and Intimates that Wood ought to be
punished. The president Is a Repub
lican and so Is the G.-D., and yet "the
Republican column Is solid!" Anybody
who says that the Republicans are
eplit up is "a queer person." No doubt
the truth appears "quee,, to a Repub
lican organ grinder.
It is clear as the noonday sun shin
ing In his meridian-glory that If the
Missouri . delegation ? to the next Re
publican national convention supports
Colonel Roosevelt it will do so In spite
of the Globe-Democrat. He might as
well understand that now as later.
Hoodooed!
Judging from press comments, even
from Republican papers, the senatorial
days of Hon. J. Ralph Burton of Kan
sas will be few, not exceeding six
years, which Is not "half as long as he
was industriously endeavoring to break
Into the senate, for he, was one of the
most . persistent seekers after a toga
and curule chair ever seen on the
American continents At the Philadel
phia convention in -1900, at the! bead
of the Sunflower -delegation, he was
one of the loudest' shouters for Roose
velt. Now he Is at outs with the pres
ident on the Cuban reciprocity scheme.
They say that rats desert a sinking
ship, and It must be true, for the Kan
sas City Journal, which, : though pub
lished in Missouri, is really the organ
of Kansas Republfcans, knifes Burton
In the following skillful fashion: .
Kansas . politicians' ''who have tho least
bit of ; superstition "readily account for
Senator Burton's turbulent time- Thero
are two senatorial lines in the state the
Lane and the Pomeroy. Burton is in the
Lane line. . The, incumbents, in that . lino
have always had trouble, with one ex
ception, and it is regarded as a hoodoo.
All told, ten men haVe-' served as senators
in the Lane llncv while only four have
served in tho Pomeroy. line. In the Pom
eroy line Pomeroy . served from 1S61 to
1S73, Ingalis from 1ST3 to 1S91. Peffer from
1S91 to 1S97 and Harris from 1897 to tho
present time. ' In th , Lane lice Lane
served from 1SC1 to 1366,- when he commit
ted suicide; E. G. Ross served from J 868
to 1S71, since which, tiroe.be has lived in
political oblivion because of his vote on
the Johnson impeachment: Alexander
Caldwell from 1S71 to"lS73, when he re
signed under fire; Robert Crosier from
1S73 to 1374. Jam Harvey, from 1874 to
1877, P. B. Plumb fronr 1877 to 1S91, when
ha died, in office: B. W. Perkins from
January. 1S02. to January, 1S93; John Mar
tin from 1S23 to 1SS3; Lucien Baker from
1895 to 1001: J. R. Burton from 1901 to tho
present Thus only four out of the ten
senators In tho Lane line ever served full
terms or longer. The other six were in
for a year or two. Since 1S02 the Lane
lino, has had four senators. If precedents
are followed in the Lane line, Burton
will be a one termer, but he hopes to
break the precedent . ..

A PROPHECY
Mr. Honeywell In an Open Letter to Undo
Sam in 1890 Forecasted the
Fowler Bill 1
Editor Independent: I think reform
ers should attack the stalwarts and
not the republican party, as 9 out of 10
republicans all over the country are
as good, honest citizens as any one
need wish; but the stalwarts are
thieves from head to foot, and at the
present time are stealing two-thirds of
what labor produces. When they get
into law the new banking bill (the
Fowler bill) and the railroads com
bined, they will steal much more.
, They are stealing about $250,000.
000 from the drinkers of strong drink.
The railroads steal as much more and
the national banks will soon be not
much behind. Then their stealing
through the high tariff is Immense.
Also the meat trust steal. In fact, all
the leading stalwarts are so deep In
many steals they cannot see out. I
wrote an article prophesying their
bank steal. They have been working
on this their greatest steal for many
years. JESSE D. HONEYWELL.
Monroe, Wis.
(Mr, Honeywell's article was writ
ten soon after the election of 1895.
It is remarkable in that. it. correctly
forecasts the present Fowler bill.)
An Open Letter to Uncle Sam, Unite 1
States of North America.
Respected Sir: It is said by the de
ceitful politician, the members of cu
already created great trusts and com
bines and by the present national
bankers, that you want to go out of
the banking business.
If that i3 true, why do you not go
out and withdraw your support from
these national . bankers whom you
have paternalized so long? These par
ties are very dishonest in this matter,
as they have been on all other ques
tions of money creating since and dur
ing the war of the rebellion.
They are now trying to destroy all
the people's money, and lead you int j
the most gigantic scheme of banking
known to any nation, and compel yoa;
not only to paternalize all those en
gaged in this noted banking schema
(the greatest of all money combines),
but through them to compel you to
paternalize, to a large degree, all
those engaged in the many other great
trusts and combines which will then
be In existence throughout your won
derful domain. You have done many
extraordinary things, but you wouU
hardly attempt to make corporation
paper money a legal tender for either
private or public debts.
So with only the free coinage of
gold, and no legal tender paper money,
what will become of your debtor part?
In your early history you were ;?o
compromised with 'slavery, I fear you
will never stand a" full defence for
free, labor. The parties to whom I
have referred in the first part of this
letter have so blinded you that it is
very doubtful if you will ever compre
hend iheir gross rascality.
You will become perhaps like the
Jews of old, so that you will be found
putting to death those who have made
you great
The designs of all trusts and , com
bines are to compel the laborers to
consent to the robbing of them, tl
the chief part of their product, and to
crush all competition. To fully ac
complish this, there must be no money
created nor allowed to exist in the in
terest of the common people.
After the war of the rebellion this
kind said, "A national debt is a na
tional blessing," and they schemed to
perpetuate a large part of your in
debtedness that they might possess it;
and draw the interest, and compel jovx
to continually divide with them your
income, which with them is constitu
tional; but to divide (their Income)
with you is unconstitutional.
The foundation for all this awf.il
scheming was laid in the early sev
enties, when they planned, the de
struction of your stalwart silver dol
lar, which was then 'worth 100 cents In
any honest money through the civil
ized countries of 4 the globe. But to
prevent the people from rallying and
procuring the metal and having 't
coined, and using it to free themselves
of debt, they paralized one side, of thy
silver dollars (the legal side) by tho
law of demonetization and you hav-3
been burdened and compelled (on ac
count of their crippled condition) to
help them along ever since. These
same parties at the time of the parall
zation of your people's silver dollars,
created a nude dollar, which they
called a trade dollar, and they caused
to be coined over 35 million of those
nude dollars, and they proved to be,
not only, a great burden to you, but a
disgrace; as they were never able to
do a legal tender act. These two laws
show that they were very corrupt, be
ing willing to largely destroy your
debt-paying resources. In 1878 these
same parties successfully ; led tha
friends of constitutional coinage into
a compromise scheme of government
buying and coining, whereby they suc
ceeded in blinding thy people, as thy
were able to make them believe that
government buying and coining would
have the same effect on the metal as
free coinage; and now as the coinage
question in your last great national
campaign was divided between the
friends of free coinage of silver; and
the supposed friends of international
coinage of silver, and as the interna
tionalists won, these same kind are
now trying to lead the friends of free
coinage Into anotner compromise ana
international deception ncheme, which
is, that international coinage of sil
ver means no coinage of silver; and
that all must treat the coinage of sil
ver as a dead Issue, and ask only 'for
the free coinage of gold. I
I made known to you over six years
ago that the motive of these same
parties in creating the many kindi, of
paper money was to break the pecple
of their wedded condition to the
greenbacks, and that they might final
ly make sure of the destruction of the
greenbacks also, they found that tSiey
must first bring them into disgrace,
and this they could surely do as they
had always managed to put a most
"pliable tool'V into the chief office' of
the realm. ' .- . I .
So "these same kind gathered ip
greenbacks, and presented them to thy
treasury, for redemption, tntil tSiey
drew the gold out of thy treasury.
Then their "tool" sold them Interest
bearing bonds, and received the gold
back again. . -: '
Then these same i parties did tin
same thing over again, and more bonds
were sold, and so on until they could
call . the legal- tender, greenbacks an
endless chain.' But now by purchase
or bulldosing or by the many dark
ways known to them they propose to
enter into this wonderously great
scheme of national banking with pa
per money, -based mostly upon com
mercial assets. ".' -
In" this scheme they Intend as this
money will, belong to them to compel
you to stand good for Its final re
demption. Oh, yes, when they will
have paralyzed silver dollars taken up
and the legal tender greenbacks de
stroyed, and with an unlimited amount
of these corporation and commercially
based banking dollars in a national
combine, and everything else in sight,
and of value, in a combine or trii?t,
and enclosed in armed stockades and
with you prancing around, with a largs
standing army, protecting them with
gatling guns against' their enslaved
laborers, then they' will have you to
their liking. Dressed in a silk hat,
wooden shoes, and your pants out at
the seat. .? Your hat will represent
concentrated wealth; your 6hoes, the
rising generations, both male and fe
male, and your pants all those who
earn their bread by the sweat of their
brows. That you may be doubly as
sured of your future, you have only to
consider that more than fifty of those
engaged in trusts and combines have
in the last year added to their wonder
fully great wealth from one to thirty
millions each. The corrupting influ
ence of, these very rich men becomes
more apparent, as the years go by.
Even the preachers must treat them
as 'Patriots and accept. their support,
or be boycotted and loose their place.
"Your riches are corrupted and
your garments are- moth-eaten.'"
James 5-2 -is not to be applied.
Ah, more. The old soldier not
alarmed at this ; concentration of
wealth, looks upon his pension with
satisfaction, and considers the largor
the army the-more honorable the flag.
Oh! How easily have all these suc
ceeded in bedecking thy brow with
the feather -of imperialism.
Better, again Americanized and re
cruit a ''constitutional army",tof many
millions, with Davids for captains.
Send them forward, a constitutional
party, not armed with slings or guns,
but with ballots,' who would thor
oughly put to flight the present army
of national and International robber?,
and again bid defiance to the govern
ment of lords. Re-establish the money
of the constitution by again opening
the mints at the same points whsi" e
they were surreptitiously closed. Le
galize a most searching graduated in
come "tax law. Bring the monopolies
under tha purifying effect of an hon
est government.
Make each citizen secure in a home,
up to the value of two thousand dol
lars, and give them for protection the
election by ballot of their president,
vice president and United States sen-1
ators. Most truly yours,
