view of the case. And there nro other
reasons for such trend of business

among these Is the labor question. In
the smaller cities employes can have
many more of the comforts of life
than In the big cities. And labor
troubles are far less serious. It Is

Fremont Tribune.
It Is perhaps a bit early to begin
picking out candldatcH for United
States senators and congressmen , but
It Is none too early for the people to
begin to think about the matter and
take the resolve that they will Insist
on hotter , stronger nnd more stntcs-
manllko representatives than they
have over before sent to the high
places at their disposal. None but
the best people should bo tolerated
for a slnglo moment nnd the young
men who asplro to political careers
should bo given to understand that
they should bo deserving morally and
In every other respect that Is desir
able for men in public places. The
game of graft , bribery , subserviency
to the money power nnd other undo-
slrablo attributes should bo so stead
ily and persistently frowned upon
that none but the best men would
ever dare aspire to official honor.
Senator Forakcr announces that
he will bo no party to any schema hav
ing In end the deposition of President
Roosevelt as the republican candidate ,
which establishes him as a wise and
termlncd to defeat the president
cither In convention , or If that fails ,
at the polls. They will Insist that the
republicans nominate a man who will
not agitate the trust question , or will
throw their strength , nnd It Is pow
erful , to the democratic candldatao If
that party will nnmo a man who will
favor them In their assault upon the
liberties of the people. The eyes of
many people Imvo been opened to the
machinations of the men of largo
wealth and It Is plain to bo seen that
a tight to the death Is on between the
people nnd these capitalists. That
President Roosevelt will not bo die
tnted to by thorn Is evident. It re
mains to bo proven whether or not the
republican party Is subject to their
control , which will bo shown by the
action of the coming national conven
tion , then when the campaign Is fairly
open It will bo seen whether or not
the money classes , represented by the
few , can control the people. What the
country must have Is confidence In a
president who will handle these com
binations as they deserve , nnd Prosl-
good statesman and republican In the
opinion of the great majority of re
publican voters who will hope that
no scheme however carefully devised
nnd fiercely agitated will result in the
defeat of President Roosevelt as the
party nominee. It Is plain to bo seen
that a force of money kings has do-
dent Roosevelt appears to bo the man
who will do that If given n chance.
Ho should have n congress of the same
high character to support him and the
fight should bo to a finish. They maybe
bo able to Inaugurate a panic , but the
people should hotter afford to endure
tv brief season of calamity than to
forever submit to the wishes of the
ring The tightening up of money at
this time would seem to Indicate that
these men have a powerful agency
at work , but It Is hoped that the ad
ministration and the agency will
prove equal to the emergency nnd
make It emphatic that America Is n
government for , of and by the people
ple and that no money power on
earth should bo permitted to dictate
Its policies and control Its Institu
tions.-

Henry T. Oxnnrd , president of the
American Ueet Sugar company , has
accepted n contract from the La mar
Hoot Sugar company of Lamnr , Col. ,
and will there erect the largest of
Colorado's beet sugar factories. The
Inducement to undertake the buildIng -
Ing of a factory was a five-year con
tract with more than 400 farmers to
grow over 0,0011 acres of beets. It
will tlniH be seen that the principal
object of the sugar companies Is to
bo assured of all the beets their fac
tories can use , rather than any other
coiiHldcrntlon that Induces them to
build. The same Is true of the fac
tories already established. In n
country or territory where plenty of
beets are raised the companies are
frco to make Improvements , build
up the Industry and In other ways
assist the tow'ns whore they are lo
cated. It Is an important consider
ation for any Industry to have the
raw material to work on , nnd this Is
no loss true of beet sucnr factories
than It Is of other industries.
It does not appear to be so much
n question of finance that alls the
country as It Is permitting men to
have the power of calling In the
money of the country through various
schemes and placing It out of reach
of the people when they most need It.
If there are men who have nn ability
to corner the money market with the
present circulation , their power would
necessarily Increase with nn Increased
circulation , and the object of those
Increasing the money of the country
would bo unavailing. There should
be n means of limiting the power of
these men and If the present program
of President Roosevelt is carried out ,
It Is believed that the end will be ac
compltshed. It is only recently that
the people have become aroused to
the growing menace of the trust mag
nates and money kings , and It seems
to bo Imperative that their Influence
should bo curbed before they get a
grip on the public that may never bo
broken.

WEST IS INDEPENDENT.
Wall street at present appears to
bo planning a punishment of the
country because the magnates do not
ndmlro the style of President Roosevelt
velt , nnd have It nil figured out that
If they punish the people severely
enough they will turn down the pres
ident who has been unsatisfactory
to the trust managers nnd promoters.
What the people may really do Is to
punish Wall street by the re-nomlna
tlon and re-election of President
Roosevelt. This has been the demo
cratic position for n number of years
to stand by the people and turn
down the money kings , and if their
professions have been sincere they
will help to re-elect the most sturdy
opponent of grasnlng nnd unfair mo
nopoly wlio IIUH ever yet occupied the
presidential chair. Many republi
cans have finally become aroused to
the Importance of fighting monopoly ,
and It Is n safe bet that If the trust
magnates succeed In defeating Pres
ident Roosevelt for the nomination ,
they will turn from the party and
vote with the democrats or any other
party that offers a chance to get a
president who will not bo dictated
to by Wall street , oven though that
inan should be none other than Mr.
Prynii. The time for a reckoning be
tween the people nnd the capitalists ,
has evidently now been too long de
layed. The Indication for some
months past Is that Wall street Is
beginning to lose Its grasp , but the dis
turbance of financial conditions In the
cast IH Indicative that the street still
has too much of n grip , and that It
needs an extensive and thorough
course or treatment or tlie same Kind
that has lately been given. It re
mains to bo proven whether enough
of that grip remains to drain the
country of Its money nnd force the
people Into a condition where they will
bo willing to accept the argument that
the administration Is the cause of
their troubles and that it must be
turned down before prosperity can
again bo secured. The force is evi
dently being asserted In the cast ,
where the captains of finance arc re
ducing wages and working on shorter
time or closing their factories alto
gether , and they nro undoubtedly hav
ing some success in breeding that dis
satisfaction that will argue for a
change as they dictate by the unthink
ing people who will not go below
surface Indications for n reason.
Whether their influence will extend
over the west Is still n matter of
some question nnd the result it is
hoped will bo satisfactory to the people
plo and disheartening to the eastern
manipulators of the stock markets and
finances. An optimistic viewpoint Is
held by many people among whom Is
Clarence H. Matson , who contributes
nn article to the Saturday Evening
Post on the financial situation that is
accepted as of profound substance by
some of the deepest thinkers of the
country. He is of the opinion that the
tlmo is passed when Wall street has
a grip on the west , and takes as a
theme for his argument , that there is
appearing In several of the weekly
farm papers of general circulation nn
ndvlrtlsement from a Boston banking
house that wants to borrow money at
rates of interest from 5 to 12 per cent
to be loaned to eastern manufacturing
companies. While It is gratifying to
the west to have this sort of a bid
coming from the east , It would un
doubtedly prove more advantageous to
the west If the people having money
to loan would keep It in the west , thus
helping western enterprises nnd at
the same time keeping the money where
the western man of means would be
better satisfied of its safety as ho
would bo better Informed , naturally ,
regarding the security offered.
Commenting on the evidence of this
advertisement , Mr. Mntson says :
"This is not the first time the east
has asked for western money , but
conditions are somewhat different now
from what they were before. When
the financial stringency of a decade
ago came upon the nation the east
held n mortgage on the west. The
east wanted its money , but the west
could not pay. Crop failure followed
crop failure , and the east foreclosed
Its mortgage. Some of the securities
would not bring more than a fraction
of their face value , and general hard
times ensued throughout the country.
"Today conditions arc entirely dif
ferent , and this difference will save
the country from a repetition of the
financial difllcultles of a decade ago.
Now the west Is out of debt. No one
has a mortgage on It. The banks are
overflowing with deposits and the
fields are rich with magnificent crops.
The cast Is not coming to It for funds
as a creditor this time , but as a bor
rower , and the west has the money to
lend.
"It has been said that Wall street
has lost its grip on the business of
the nation to such an extent that a
crash In "tho street" would not be
known outside of its imemdlato cir
cles were It not for the newspapers ,
but this Is true only In a comparative
sense. It Is a fact that Wall street
does ont dominate the business of the
country to the extent that It once did ,
nnd it Is oven true that n financial
crash there Is not felt In the prosper
ous west through adverse business
conditions.
"Ten years ago the conditions that
exist today In Wall street and through
the East generally would have pro
duced n panic nnd hard times through
out the nation. At that time they
would have tightened business condi
tions , mortgage forclosures would
have followed , and as the crops were
light and the farming classes had lit
tle money , trade would have been ex
cessively dull. Now thcro are com
paratively no farm mortgages and the
slump In the stock market does not
rovlvo them. Wall street's troubles
do not affect the wheat nnd corn
Holds , railroad tonnage keeps tip and
no railroad receiverships will follow
the financial stringency.
"Seven years have brought aboutn
remarkable change In the western
farmer. Eight years ago ho was mort
gage ridden and so deeply In debt
that he sometimes despaired of ever
getting out. Today ho owns many
broad acres of rich lands free from
Incumbrance. In many Instances thcro
IB a piano In the bam nnd a rubber
tired buggy In the barn. Ills mall is
delivered dally at his door , and a tel
ephone connects him with the rest of
the world. His children go to college -
lego nnd there are books and maga
zines In his home. And In addition to
all this he has n fat bank account nnd
Is now lending money to his former
creditors. Ho has In reality been re
sponsible for the prosperity of the entire -
tire country , for when the farmer has
no crops to , exchange for the produce
of the factory the factory must stop
nnd the railroad must side track its
rolling stock for the want of truffle. "
