directed to an explanation, In advance,
of the cans, of their defeat. Thev tell
the tom-tom. Cries of alarm are to be
raised for the purpose of arousing dis
gusted Republicans from the sulks In
which they are Indulging. Republican
pell binders are to say but little con
cerning the war. This Is because the
war Is still as unpopular In the higher
Republican circles as It was with the
administration itself until It was be
gun. The friend of the people can safely
rely upon the doleful predictions by the
Republicans that the House of Repre
sentative Is lost to the gold ring. Th,s
must not however, cause a relaxation
of any efforts by the silver men. The
Republican chiefs will make a suier
human effort to excite Interest among
their followers. The way to win Is to
fight There are two reasons which if
constantly kept before the people will
give us a greater victory than has been
anticipated by the most sanguine. The
first of these reasons Is the disgraceful
acknowledgment by Republican con
ventions In the Kta'es that the St Louis
platform of lKij as n mean swindle.
Its declaration In f.ivor of bimetallism
alone saved McKluley from defeat. It
was a bitter pill to the Wall street con
tributors to be compelled to keep silence
when a Republican platform declared
for free stiver coinage. Their confi
dence In McKlnley was rewarded, how
ever, when he boldly declared himself
In favor of the Indianapolis gold stand
ard program and sent a message to Con
gress to that effect just In time to pre
vent the reopening of the mints in India
to silver coinage, and Just In time to
prevent the consummation of the Inter
national agreement, wh'ch would sure
ly have followed. This year the Re
publican administration, speaking
through the State conventions of Its
party, throws away the mask and con
fesses the cheat They say to the peo
ple who remained In the Republican
party because of the bimetallic plank
In the St. Louis platform: "We tricked
you out of your votes by a false pre
tense. We freely admit It We can
now get along without you, and we
serve notice upon you that the Repub
lican party Is In favor of a gold stand
ard. If you do not like It you can leave
the party. Your places will be taken
by Cleveland Democrats."
I'pon the Insolvent avowal of the Re
publican party conventions that bimet
allism was only a decoy to enable them
to bridge over the Presidential election
of ISOti, and that hereafter the gold
standard Is to be the party slilblnileth
and the party test, the gold standard
party will meet with a crushing defeat
In the campaign of 1!XK).
' The other reason for counting on Re
publican defeat Is the shameful aban
donment and cruel neglect of the pri
vate soldiers of the army, 20.000 thou
sand of whom carried our flag In tri
umph In the Sautlago campaign, while
many times that number served In
camps In various parts of the country
awaiting orders. There Is hardly a vil
lage or a hamlet In the country where
the people do not realize the gross Im
becility and Incapacity of the adminis
tration by the presence of returned sol
diers and the truths they are telling to
tnetr rriends and neighbors. These sol
diers represent the people who were In
favor of the chastisement of Spain for
the destruction of the Maine. The ad
ministration represent the cold-blooded
element In the country which was
on the side of Spain to all Intents and
purposes, and who held the President
back until public opinion gathered a
force which he could not resist
The men who poured out millions for
the corruption of the ballot In 1SIMS have
now nothing at stake. They control
i the veto power, and they do not care a
snap for Congress. The Republican
simmers, wuo voieu tor peace, are now
divided between the appointed and the
uisiippuiiueu. me rormer keep up a
show of zeal lest they should be re
moved. The latter are much more nu
merous and contribute greatly to the
apathy of which the leaders complain.
On the other hand, nobody hears of
any backsliders from among the Bryan
voters. The changes are all the other
way. Bryan, our standard bearer,
serves as colonel In a Nebraska regi
ment, his State being required to keep
30 per cent. hIhv her Just quota of the
volunteers In the neld lu order that he
may be prevented from returning t0 his
home, although we are assured by the
liepublleans that the war Is over.
We conclude as we began by calling
attention to the fact that Republican
managers and editors with few excep
tions admit that they are already do
featml In the Congressional campaign.

The Non-T'eiUlrnt Land Owner.
The non-resident land owner Is a
parasite living on the labor and enter
prise of resident owners, the thrift and
Industry and the enterprise of others.
The edict of God, that "by the sweat
' of tby brow shalt thou eat bread,"
! seems to have never reached him, for
by the sweat, enterprise and vim of
others, he Is becoming richer with
every step of development and the
march of progress. He sits back In
luiury and ee and allows the pio
neers to develop the country. He ac
quired the land when It was a wilder
ness, and it has grown Into thriving
villages and thrifty agricultural com
munities. From the hut of the pio
neer, a lonely wilderness surrounding
It has, by muscles of Iron and un
broken energy, grown habitable.
Roads have been cut, bridges built,
swamps ditched. The settlement has
grown populous. School bouses have
been built, churches organized, society
formed, and the peace and prosperity
of the citizens assured. The taxable
values have been Increased 600 per
cent, and yet the non-resident land
owner has done nothing to bring about
these many good results. His land Is
still unimproved, but has Increased in
value from year to year. He still rea
ders It Is "unimproved" land, and la-
slsts that the taxes should not be In
creased on that account. He Is not a
citizen and has none of the responsl
unities or a citizen, lie works no
roads, and pays no road tax. He serves
on no Juries, does not assist In keeping
up the demands of the community, and
is exempt from all responsibility.
To Increase the tax on a farmer's
work In clearing his farm, building his
house and making himself comfortable;
Is a direct tax on Industry and labor,
but the resident land owner would not
object to this if the non-resident land
owner was taxed In proportion to the
increased value of his land as the
country is developed. If the farmer is
taxed $5 per acre for having made his
land ready for the plow, his non-resident
neighbor should be taxed in the
same proportion for his Idleness. If
the non-resident's tax Is not Increased
then the farmer's labor should not be
added to the value of his land and both
taxed. East Texas Pinery.
Oieantic Railway Trmt.
According to the United States In
vestor, a reliable Boston financial
newspaper, for nearly four years plans
have been carried out for the formation
of a gigantic railroad trust, which,
when completed, will control the trans
portation facilities of alwut all the
South Atlantic and Gulf Suites. The
trust will operate nearly all the rail
road lines between the Ohio, Potomac
and Mississippi Rivers. J. Plerpont
Morgan Is said to be the originator of
the Idea, which began with the forma
tion of the Southern Railway. The
Morgan Interests have Just succeeded
In obtaining control of the Sealioard
Air Line, and now have but one other
east and west system to check their
operations In the entire South the
Louisville and Nashville Railway.
Careful estimates place the mileage
now controlled by Morgan at fully 11,-
000. This does not include the Norfolk
and Western Railroad, nor the Chesa
peake and Ohio, which were recently
reorganized by Morgan In the Vauder
bllt Interests, and Is In complete har
mony with the trust The Southern
Railway is now the only outlet for over
1. r0 of the principal cotton mills of the
South, while Us branches extend to the
richest mineral and timber sections.
The chief danger that threatens Mor
gan In his effort to obtain absolute con
trol of the South Is, says the Investor,
"the action which the Legislatures may
take In the several States, which may
compel wholesale lobbying and liberal
expenditure of money In order to keep
his corporation wltliln legal limits."

A canvass made by Labor Commis
sioner Cox through the principal man

the 11,005 persons, whose wages were

Still more prosper! ly. It Is coming In

On examining furiher Into the uff.ilr of

The third and last report Is that the
bank is entirely ruined and there is
nothing left but an empty safe and an
absquatulated cashier. There can be
no doubt but that we have the best
banking system in the world, but all
the same nobody but a simpleton will
deposit his money In any bank, for not
one of them U absolutely safe. Non
conformist It la assumed by the unthinking that
we are already upon a gold standard
because gold can be freely had In ex
change for other forms of money In ;
circulation. Nothing can be further
from the fact. Under bimetallism 15
ounce of silver exchanged for an
ounce of gold In Europe because the
uiiuis were upeu nunc j ooui mexais
and the coins made from 15 ounces
of sliver bad the same debt-paying
power as the coins from an ounce of
gold. Silver that is coined and en
dowed by law with debt-paying power
equally with gold has a purchasing
power at the present time equal to
gold. Only silver bullion, that Is barred
from coinage by laws closing the mints
against It, 1m sold upon the markets at
a lower price than it would represent
If coined. If the mints were reopened
to the equal coinage of both metals,
under laws endowing the coins of both
with equal debt-paying power, the bul
lion value of gold and silver would at
once become the same as the coinage
value, because the government would
stand ready to convert all the bullion
brought to the mints into coins free of
churge, and no holder of silver bullion
would sell it to private parties at any
less price than the face value of the
coin that the mint would make from
the same.
If money that Is scarce and dear Is
sound money, of course the scarcer and
the dearer the money becomes the
"sounder" It will be. The money of
the fifteenth century was fifteen times
as "sound" as the money of to-day; it
would buy fifteen times as much of
things in general. The money of the
fifteenth century was so sound that a
small amount of It would pay for a
white slave In the principal nations of
the world. There Is no denying the
great command over other things pos
sessed by scarce, dear and "sound"
money, but it seems to work solely In
the interest of the money dealers and
to have no regard for the rights and lib
erties of the people.
Wheat possesses Intrinsic value. It
contains a certain amount of llfe-sus-tnlning
nutriment No. 1 and No. 2
wheat contains practically the same
amount of nutriment one year that it
does another. But the price of wheat
varies enormously from year to year.
Will any gold standard advocate con
tend that the quantity of wheat on the
market each year has nothing to do
with the price of wheat? If not, upon
what ground do they base the claim
that gold Is an unvarying standard?
Of course, the color of gold, Its specific
gravity, or its chemical test docs not
depend upon quantity, but none of
these has anything to do In determin
ing how much of things in general can
be had for an ounce of it The one fac
tor alone that will determine the ratio
at which It will exchange for other
things generally Is the number of
ounces of gold In existence. Silver

The World's Most Mnpenrtou- Ruin
The most stupendous ruin In the
world is the great Temple at Baalbek,
an ancient city of Syria. It seems to
have been a kind of pantheon, and i
situated on a magnificent platform,
which raises it high above the level of
the ground, and extends from east to
west a distance of about one thousand
feet. The portico is at the east, anoV
must have been reached by a grand
flight of steps. It is one hundred and
eighty feet, or, including the pavilions.
two hundred and sixty feet, from north
to south. A threshold entrance leads
Into the first court, hexagonal In shape,
and measuring about two hundred and
fifty feet from corner to corner. A por
tal fifty feet wide gives admittance to a
grand quadrangle, which extends from
east to west for four hundred and forty
feet, and has a breadth of three hun
dred and seventy feet, thus Including
nn area of between three and four
acres.
The peristyle of the temple proper
was composed of fifty-four columns;
the height of their shafts was about
sixty-two feet, and their diameter ser
en feet at the base and about five feet
at the top. That part of the great plat
form on which the peristyle rests con
sists of immense walls built up about
fifty feet from the ground and formed
of thirteen courses of beveled stones.
