Our country is drift ! ug toward close
business deals and a careful investor i
well as a careful manipulator who ca
make the most clear money out of
hundred invested is the one who wil
bo in business when thousands of plun"
ers are deal broke and working for s
dollai a day or less Yes we are drift
ii'g and where is the end ?
The tariff policy of the republican
does not tend to induce foreign coun
tries to buy more of our wheat , cotton
corn and other farm products. In fac
the reverse of this , for by shutting ou
foreign goods we cripple foreign coun
tries in their purchasing power am
necessarily they will buy less of. ou
breadstuffs and raw materials. Quill
Some republican papers are falling
over themselves to commend the gov
ernor for pardoning a criminal whi
ought to serve his 20-year sentence foi
theft of half a million dollars from th <
state treasury. This is well understooc
by our people and AVB await the vote ol
an outraged people this fall. If repub
licans sanction this pardon or parole
you will know that their principal ob
ject is to steal you blind and smooth i
over.
General Kitchener issued an ordei
asking that the Boers lay down then
arms and become peaceable , quiet am
submissive citizens of his Majesty's Em
pire under penalty of being banishec
from their homes , their country , lha
which a liberty loving , God fearinj
people holds dear : and now that Me
Kin ley's in the business hadn't h <
ought to go down and put a stop tc
such an iuoamous outrage as that , foi
humanity's sake ?
The great steel strike is UOAV on and
the mayor of McKeesport is with the
strikers. There are vast combinations
which muet be met by combinations oi
labor and when our laboring men unite
as they should the trusts can and will
be broken. Combined labor can do it
effectually and now is a good time to
begin while the trusts are carrying
things with a high band with MeKin-
ley and Mark Hanua to back them.
Let combined labor defy the trusts and
capatalists will not find everything go
ing their own way. Privileges ucau b <
legislated but you cannot legislate tin
I abor which is required to make a sue-
cets of a business.
With last Thureday'b is ue the Nat
ional Watchman ceased to exist being
bought byJW. J. Bryan and merged in
the Commoner. The National Watch
man lias been a useful paper and was
much appreciated by many during the
pu > t. The future will be with a lead
er whom many condemn , as a man AV th
but a single idea but in fact as a broad
minded man and no .truer more Joyal
democrat exists with honesty of pur-
Dose than he Avho Avould stand by his
party for * the principles when men re
viled him. . He is broad enough to
render mote assistance to David B. Hill
in 1904 than any gold democrat rend
ered him in ' 96 or 1900. Mr. JBryan
prizes other principles more highly in
the democratic platform than the silver
question and will be found as true to
democratic principles of honest taxat
ion and equal privileges to the poor la
boring classes , farmers and stockmen ,
with bankers and capitalists.
