5?r'K p fi The Commoner; 14 VOLUME 3, NUMBER .ii . 1 1 tmmP LXS- Chlllicotho (0.) News-Advertlser:-The news from Manila indicates the grafter also follows the flag. t . Athens (0.) Journal: The demo cratic platform is a broad instrument, but it is not wide enough to accommo date monopoly. Mt Sterling (111.) Examiner: Re publican promts 3 are most of them Intended to tool the people and they do fool a good many of them, but not all of them always. Fostoria (0.) Democrat: Ex-President Cleveland at Chicago talked about the "saving grace of patriot ism," but at the same time he felt mdro confidence in the absolute rule of the dollar. Hastings (Mich.) Journal: The re publicans prefer a currency backed by trust bonds than one supported by gold and silver. The former would certainly be elastic enough while the latter would be substantial. ' Lewisburg (W. Va.) Independent: Honestly, mow, have we not -overdone the business of nursing "Infant indus tries?" When an infant, under the nursing process, has grown bigger than his pa, why not talce away the bottle and let him feed himself? 1 Olney (111.) Democrat: President Roosevelt's administration must be charged with three years knowledge and suppression of the greatest postal scandal8. which Mr. Bristow's final re port states could not have flourished to the extent indicated without con pivance or criminal neglect Colfax (Wash.) Commoner: Sena tor Hanna appeals to the people of Ohio to vote the republican ticket in order "to send a word of greeting and confidence to the young president at Washington," but at heart he cares a good deal more about their sending back Mark Hanna to the United States senate. Tiffin (0.) Advertiser: The nomina tion of George B. McClellan for mayor by the democrats of Greater New York will give Roosevelt the informa tion that there was a General George B. McClellan, who commanded the Union soldiers at the battle of Antie tam. At the recent visit of the presi dent to that battlefield he was ignor ant of the fact Ironton (O.) Irontonian: A ship Bubsidy is socialism." It is that kind of 'socialism that Hanna favors, be cause it "Will put the money which is to Be' paid by the people into his own pocket. The admission by Hanna that he is "in favor of the ship subsidy scheme proves Johnson's statement that Hanna uses his official -position to further his own interests regardless of the people. Steubenville (0.) Gazette: Do you know any trust magnate, any big in dustrial "promoter of other people's money Into his own pockethook, or any "financier" who shears the Wall street lambs, who supports the demo cratic ticket in these times of piping "prosperity?" What ticket do these classes solidly support? When you vote the same ticket they support, what are you? Woodsflold (0.) Spirit of Democ racy: Roosevelt recently made a speech at a soldiers' meeting'bn the battlefield of Antiotam, and not once flld .he mention the name of McClel lan, 'whose ' splendid victory there saved the north from a rebel Invasion. Abraham Lincoln hastened from the White house to thank McClellan per sonally; on the battlefield'. Abraham Lincoln was one ind of a man, and Theodore Roosevelt is qultQ a differ ent kind. Cambridge (O.) Joffersonian: Suk pose bani.s were permitted to issue no.es uased upon ..and sustained by United States steel stock. Ah, sup pose. How much safer are the gpu enil run of railroad, state, municipal and many other assets than United btates steel that goes as low as 16. Iola (Kas.) Democrat: Business de pression will stop the greed of the trusts, it is saK . But business de pression is disastrous and is to be avoided. Money is ,in every business, every trade and every deal. Have the trusts control of tne . finances of the country? These things should be stopped without national disaster. First let the people control them and then, if need be, abolish them. Linneus (Mo.) Bulletin: The pro tective tariff policy of the United States benefits solely the trusts whose wares are protected at the expense of home consumers. The supposition that they will pay laborers more than the current price of labor because of "protection" is all bosh. They secure their laborers at the lowest figure pos sible and put the "protection" in their pockets. This is what has created 'the trusts. They ere the result of a blind partisan prejudice which has made men vote against their own interests. would be wholly unavailable. Per haps when the national republican convention meets next year, after the regular business s over and it has formulated its platform and nominated its candidate, it might proceed to formulate a democratic platform and nominate a democratic candidate to stand upon it Any platform' it might construct, or candidate it might nomi nate, would be quite as satisfactory tc the rcorganizers as their own work. Frankfort (lnd.) Standard: The money metnls. gold and silver,, both together are far short of enough to make an adequate supply of money, A)l who are opposed to turning the making of money over to the money trust should demand the free coin age of both gold and silver and con tinue to demand it. In addition to this the government should allow no l)aper money to be made by any cor poration bank or individual. All money should be made by the govern ment and all money gold, silver and papershould be a full legal tender money; should be money and not promises to pay money; all to be re deemed alike by the government, and for the payment of "11 debts, both pub- r lie and private. The neonle should demand this and continue to demand It That would settle this question and it will never be settled until It is done. All other schemes are make shifts, Intended to give power to the few to rob the masses. B Can Sett Vom Ileal S??!

Perhaps he is on his way to Ohio to stump the state for the republicans this fall. He would be doing no more than" returning a favor for that salary of $125 a month which the republican party gave him, to be paid out of the United States treasury. At any rate, since the re publican campaign managers have been importing so much outside talent to tell Ohio people how they ought to vote on their own affairs, they could not do much worse by ih-sultan Ohio voters with this regal importation. Aurora (Neb.) Register: One of the queer coincidence' that we all note as we jog along down the highway of time is that with every flurry in Wall street, every chunk that is being knocked off the prices of cattle and hogs there is less and less said by re publican papers about the administra tion being responsible for good or bad times. Some of them are getting ready to concede that McKinley and Roosevelt didn't exactly make the good times and if anything should happen to make the people feel poor they are convinced that the party of progress and prosperity will be in no way to blame for it. Lewisburg (W. Va.) Independent: Old General Simon Bolivar Buckner sat as a delegate In a republican con vention down in Kentucky the other day. Can it be that the old man has been led off by the fact that the re publicans have nominated his son-in-law for governor? We think not. The true explanation is that General Buck ner deserted his party in 1896 when he accepted the nomination of the gold bug contingent of the democratic party for the office of vice president When a man Qnce deserts his party, especially if It b a national election It Is 'very unsafe to count on him thereafter. He wao Is not for lis Is against us and General Buckner has simply found his right place. Potosi (Mo.) Independent: The managers of the republican party are anxious that Mr. Gorman, Mr. Hill, Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Parker, or some other reorganizes should be the demo cratic standard-bearer next year. Thy seem to think that Senator Carmack, Mr. Bryan, Georce Fred 'will lama. Governor Stone, or Tom L.' Johnson J The discovery of an alleged military plot to kill M. Belaieff, the Russian consul at Uskub, on October 23, caused the Turkish government to rush six battalions of troops to that place. RANIER GRAND HOTEL SEATTLE, WASH. European Finn.
