F Lsftl KT W v v CIVILIZATIONS SAVAGERY Horrible Torture in Paat Ascs In flictcd by Man Upon Man During the middle ages and indeed down into the last century torture was egularly resorted to for a variety of causes chief among them being relig ion In the early part of the seventeenth century we read of a man named Zach cry Drusenian being suspended by the arms in a torture chamber while screws were applied to his feet in such a manner as to crush the bones After watching him for a while the judges went out to supper- leaving him in charge of the executioner Drusemac besought the latter -by the wounds oi Clirist to let him down if but for a single moment but the officer refused to do so except at the judges com mand After an Lour the judges re turned all of them the worse for liquor Drusenaan was dead Little Imagina tion is needed to make one shudder at this story Satan himself might hesi tate to All up the gaps of the narrative During the struggle between Spain And the United Netherlands torture was employed by both parties indiffer ently and became very violent The Dutchmen once tied a number of pris oners together in pairs and confined them in a large room No food was given them and in the course of a few days they were mad with hunger At length they began to devour each other They were kept in that room until the man was dead Terrible as was the Spanish inquisition this affair goes far to even matters between them and the Netherlands Another device of the lat ter was to strip their victim and drag him backwards and forwards on a rope stretched taut

of November the equal of which has never before been Iruiig lned in political struggles and surely never In any degree attempted It may be affirmed with confidence that if the mere expenditure of money will carry a presidential election in these United States it will be done in tte preseut year It would be perfectly hopeless for tVe Democratic regular organization to at tempt to compete in the raising and ex pending of these enormous amounts The whole money dealing speculating stock jobbing and franchise grab bin world has contributed The common peril and apprehension that justice will be done in case of Bryans election and that the thousand sources of corruption will be stopped has aroused what might well be called the dangerous classes and excited their liberal con tributions A Republican daily paper gives a lit tle idea of how the fund of the Repub lican party is swelled in the city of Philadelphia alone According to this authority the Philadelphia Savings Fund Institution has paid over 25000 of its depositors moneys held in trust to Boss Hannas treasury Each other the scared Indianapolis convention whose delegates have taken such a sud den guardianship over the welfare and votes of the farmer and laborer New York News The McKinley Piljjrrimnses It is stated that the visits of work Ingmen to Canton O to be received by Major McKinley and to assist in offering him the incense of their ad miration have up to date cost a sum exceeding five hundred thousand dol lars The way it is managed is inter esting to relate In some large factory announcement is made that on such a day a special train will leave that place for Canton to visit the Republican Presidential candidate and all voters who desire to accompany the expedition are in vited to hand in their names Then a meeting is held and each workman willing to go is charged half a dollar for expenses so that it could not be said he was absolutely carried free and it is announced that the day off will be a holiday without deduction of wages That sweeps in most of the men and away go the whole crowd have a good time with plenty to eat and drink hear the Napoleonic candi date make a speech from his balcony and come home happy Then they take a vote of the employes and print it in the papers it is about as reliable as the secret ballot which one of the HE DEPRECATES CLASS WARFARE The Rider Oh it is painful to think of our wrangling as we journey on through life Let us be ever happy and content aside with me on top National Bimetallism bank in Philadelphia has been assess ed 10000 and very few it is stated have failed to make full payment Al together it is reported the McKinley money chest in that State is full to re pletion with probably a large overflow to influence other States In Pittsburg the same authority states the contributions at 70000 raised in one week from the moneyed Institutions Every railroad has been put under tribute All the gigantic trusts combinations and syndicates have been assessed and have respond ed The State of Pennsylvania has fur nished or will furnish to the Hanna bossed partj at least one million of dol lars towards the election of McKinley The danger is that the presidency imiy be not fairly voted but foully bought with money But we believe that our people will resist temptation and repudiate unworthy inducements We can triumph in spite of this shame less millions of money McKinley Pakery The two Fakes most in use by Mc Kinleyites in their campaign of edu cation which is really a campaign of misinformation and sophistry are the fifty cent dollar and the deposits in savings banks No Hannaite orator or newspaper has yet explained how a coin with value marked on it by our governmental im press can ever pass in this country for less than such value nor has even the astute Carlisle yet explained how a sav ings bank can swindle a depositor by paying him through a Treasury or a national bank note or a silver certific ate or duly stamped silver coin the precise number of statutory cents which he desires to withdraw Recently a Boston new bureau con trolled by gold fanatics sent out for publication in the McKinley press a statement that since the Chicago nomi nation deposits to the aggregated amount of six millions of dollars had been drawn out of savings banks in the Union and put on deposit with sav ings banks in Toronto Canada the conclusion being emphasized by the McKinley press that such original home deposits were transferred to ex clusively gold paying English banks for safety The story of course is a roorback fake intended for campaign circula tion among voters who use savings banks It 5s preposterous on its face lor six millions of dollars would repre sent the deposits of from twenty to thirty millions of people willing to buy exchange on Canada and perhaps to lose accruing interest by the change And so proceeds the current Hanna ite campaign of scare encouraged by New York goldbug papers prints day after day and by which it expects to elect McKinley by a grand majority Sanguine Republicans who read of excursion after excursion calling on McKinley are greatly encouraged thereby but shrewd and experienced ones suspect that the men are likely to accept the rides offered them and do as they choose as to voting for the Canton man in November Mr Hanna in Journalism As the financial manager of a politi cal canvass Mr Mark Hanna is an im posing sight but as managing editor he has not as yet exhibited the smallest ability The gold standard press of the East is being conducted with a stu pidity that amazes and necessity must soon compel a change in the plan of campaign if the fight is not to be given up Bawling cannot be sustained at concert pitch with good results for months at a stretch and so far Mr Hannas newspapers have given their whole strength to bawling Unmistak able hoarseness has ensued as a matter of course Everybody who can read has been long aware that the single standard press wishes it to be under stood that any man who offers an argu ment in favor of bimetallism is a fool a lunatic a repudiator a rogue and a foe of the national honor of which Mr Hanna and the contributing trusts and syndicates are for this occasion only the special guardians If the gold standard press has anything else to say on the subject of finance the time has certainly arrived when it should utter itself

Takea the People for Fools Secretary Carlisle is out in another long letter This time it is in answer to a question he says was asked him Why does the silver dollar remain on a par with a gold dollar when it is not exchangeable into the gold dollar The Secretary makes a lengthy re ply which may be summed up in the words beating about the bush The only direct answer he gives is Tho public has been satisfied that so long as our present monetary system is pre served the government will do what ever its moral obligations and express declarations require it to do and verj largely in consequence of this confi dence in the good faith of the executive authorities the silver coins have no depreciated in value That is a childish answer and betrayr cither grave ignorance incapacity 01 downright intent to deceive To say that it is largely due to public confi dence in the executive officers that is in Cleveland Carlisle Co is an io suit to the good sense of the genera rublic Because that confidence is so de cidedly wanting that the question it often enough mooted that both these officers deserve impeachment for direc infringement of the law on this verj issue The only reason why silver is on s Ijir with gold is that it is a legal tender But Mr Carlisle evidently does no think it altogether accords with the gold bug policy to say that for tha would be an admission that fiat makes money so he attributes it all to confi dence in Secretary Carlisle Evident ly he takes the public for fools as dc most other gold bugs Philadelphis Item HIS MARK - 3v Given nader my band and eal
