The miners who go down a thousand feet into the earth, or climh two thousand feet upon tho cliffs, and bring forth from their hiding places the precious metals to be poured into the chan nels of trado, are as much business men as the few financial magnates who, in a back room, corner the mon oy of the world. We come to speak for this broader class of business men. You come-to us and tell us that the great cities are against us. Wo reply that the great cities rest upon our broad and fertile prairies. Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms, and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country1 Unless we wholly mistake the pur pose of the interests to which wo have referred, It is their purpose in the immediate future to secure con trol of both the republican and dem ocratic organizations, and thus dic tate the legislation and the policies of the government. It is equally cer tain, in our estimation, that both of those organizations are willing to be controlled and the prospective candi dates most spoken of at the present time, both from motives of policy and from long association with the moneyed and cornorate interests n 'well as by their natured bent, are ready to take a nomination on terms of subseryiency to those interests. In more common but less accurate phrase, in both the parties the "con servatives" are in power. Those interests construe the re cent elections to mean that. The New York Nation, the organ par ex- cellence of the narrow .definition of business interests, the mouthpiece of those who believe that "He that hath, to him shall be given," in comment ing upon the elections in New York and Ohio congratulates its readers upon the entire absence of anything like Bryanism from them. It ia of course by no means certain which of the two parties will be accepted by the so-called business interests as the one for Jheir alliance; their natural ally is the republican. But with the leaders of both bidding for their support the advantage is distinctly with them., , The carrying out of this program pre-supposes several things which may not happen. It is assumed that President Taft will be the republi can nominee for re-election in 1912 and that among the democrats the conservative element will be in con trol both of which appear likely at the present time. It is also postu lated that Mr. Taft "will have learned nothing and' forgotten nothing at that time in other words, that he will continue to be a reactionary and a Bourbon and that the democratic organization can lead into the con servative camp the radicals of 1896 a most unlikely thing, we are certain.

Mteh J- , "!L ' t4 ji - "v- "' Between these two lines of "con- -servatlves" and between which there is not a particle of antagonism in principle there are now som millions and two years hence there will be more of voters, who' will not bow the knee to Baal, wb.0 willJ decline to accept the narrow defini- tion of business interests, who will not let party names bdguile them In- to giving their votes where the trust of government will be abused, and who will insist on laws passed for-., the benefit of all and administered impartially. Just how these" votes shall be put in a condition of cohesion f or use, at whose call they shall be mustered for political service, what name their organization shall take, if they are turned out of doors by the present organizations all these are matters of uncertainty. BUt if a righteous cause shall now fail for want of or ganization, leadership or name, it will be the first time in history., That the leaven is workings in the popular mind is apparent.- ,11 it has the power, the vitality", that it ought to have, it will leaven the whole" lump. People wiir not go Tjack to the narrow conception of business In terests and then xigree that govern- ment is -o iba carried on for them principally, There is iiota halrjs breadth of -difference' inlSritfMple be tween that view and-the "mudsill" theory of government propounded by, Hammond and his South Carolina school of politicians before the war. There, as now, labor Was to be the mudsills of the structure of society, serving the function of burden bearing but not being admitted to a participation in the benefits." When the people once got a chance at that doctrine they killed it, once at the ballot-box and then shot it to death with musketry. It is the old plea de- -fined by Mr. Lincoln in his. debate with Judge Douglas "It is the same principle, in, whatever shape it de velops itself. It is the same spirit that says, 'You work, and toil and earn bread, and I'll eat It.' " It wa resisted then and it must and will be resisted, now. When the. resistance comes to be organized, old associations and party names will count for very little. Calling a party "conservative" wher the purpose is not to conserve the welfaTe. of all but to force the ag grandizement o a few, will deceive no one. The issue of equality in thV enjoyment of common right ia in process of forging for decision in, 1912. i e 4 We welcome any convert to, or ad- -;; vocate of so plain a principle and ''Jtel - - . Vv"' uupo wo may hryo grace enougn not to put the least obstacle in the path of any toward so desirable an end. People who believe as we do in the definition of what the real business interests of the country are, will look with anxiety if not suspicion on any leader whom the so-caljeo' "conserva tives" may make haste to O. K.-When" they begin to call a man "safe and sane," the, people had better be look ing about for their own safety. W do not understand that the late elec tions were in any sort an approval of their views; they were, rather, by condemning Taft, .a repudiation of; them and they", as well as the presi dent, may lay the lesson to heart. : . ..av . .G "i. - - i "r"' ' ' 4: Sf. - f-if W -':-0M ;. .-aa J" V- , 1, - fl m A I 8 ' Akron (Ohio) Times.
