dom. To those at all \orsed In fair mat
ters , an attempt to hold a fnlr In the
autumn of 1S9S , with the Trannmlisl < < slpp
exposition In session within n few mile1 ?
of the ground1' , would slmplv be folly In
the extreme. For the Jear \ < jf It would be
equally unwlsi- , for ths reason that the
sooletj's overtaxes In contributing ns thej
should bath time nnd means In sup
port of the Transmtsslsslppl Exposition
cannot In any way further contribute to an
extent commensurate with requirements for
success.
Beside these considerations , I nm llrmlv
of opinion a successful fair cannot be belt'
on the present fair grounds without more
perfect means of transportation to and
from nnd moro perfect compliance with
existing contract stipulations as well.
Ucforo 19CO another stnte logtslnturo will
rotnene , at wilier the law goveinlng the
State Hoard of Agriculture , to most grow
ing demands , should be thoroughly le-
modeled ; nnd nmong other things the factor
of continuing the State fair under slate
auspices determined.
In the meantime let Iho lonrd continue
statistical work and diffusion of agricul
tural Information as best It can.

S. Plngreo of Michigan was the gucat o
honor at the January dinner of the Inde

house this evening. Governor Plngrce Ocllv-
orcJ an addre < on "What Constitutes Part }
Loyalty , " In the course of which he said
In hl < memorable address upon the lleli
of aett > sburg , Abraham Lincoln spoke the
following words : "That e > here hlghlj
rcsohe thnt the e dead shall not ha\i
died Innln ; that the nation under Uoi
linvo n new birth of freedom nnd that gov
eminent of the people by the people nnd fo
the people shall not perlsi from the earth'
Such were his hopes for the future am
such was the "platform which this grca
republican there laid down for hli party am
for the e who should come after film.
No man or set of men have slnco tha
time been nulhorlred to modify thc c words
or to lead that party nwa > from the. splrl
of their meaning ,
A party which does not rid Itself of mci
who make , themselves prominent In It with
the sole purpose of exploiting the people
nnd perpetuating the reign of the doll.tr , nil
lo e Its Influence with the mns e . and like
a church which accepts robber's tithe
ftom wealthy and Influent ! U pew holders
who wish to case "their conscience , U wll
soon bo nil uch and none others.
We all know that the motto of n tins
Is "to charge nil the nnrket will bear. '
There are many hundreds of them now , nm
they cover utmost the entire field of human
wnnts.
Their work Is noiseless nnd unceasing , bu
like the dropping of water It will wear the
stone , A penny on sugar passes unnoticed
but menus $10,000,00 u year out of the pockets
of the people. Why mtiko a fust about 2
cents on ull , It amounts to * o little ? Bu
It means over JGO.000.000 to > ou , nnd so 1
goes all along thu line , a form of taxation
which tup * the nocke-ts of the produce ! li
such n manner that he does not know what
keeps him poor.
The question Is today , do half fares 01
rallioads and contilbutlons to churches
and Institutions Influence the clergy to dc.a
gently with gtcit wrongs ?
The masses of the tepubllcan party do
not want to st.uid sponsor for those agen-
Lles which are playing the mischief with
this countrv's welfnio any more than the
democrats do. We huvo , howcvei , some " -o-
called leaders In our p.nty who lm\e more
faith In the power of mono } than In the
power of the voting1 nni'ses.
There Is no doubt tint the IIDWOI of moncv
In this countt } todnv Is tremendous. li
ictilns newspipers , It dlucts the greai
ncwa-ttlotilbutlnir , agency and telegraphs , It
elects meji to the senate nnd. to the house
It nmnlpul itis n ttlonal and statu conven
tions.
Frauc'il es. grants md "peclal privileges
nip obtained by main force of mono } , and the
mono } wrongfully ob'alncd in legally swhul
ling the people out of tht-lr own Is then
used to bribe theit servants.
Money Is taken cac.il % oar out of the pock
ets of the producers nnd goes to swell the
corruption fund of tlio privileged fuw , moro
than enough to Kcop In comfoit and happi
ness ever } struggling poet family In the
land ,
1 believe In Independence In politics , and
am somovvhit of nn independent nisclf.
Men of both patties must now and then
be biought up with n round turn and dc-
feited In their ampliations whenever they
foisake the. cause of the people and enlist
In the service of the enemy.
The honest independent vote Is a great
f ictor for good government. The vote which
owes alleglincc to piliiciples , not to men.
No man e.an claim to be slnceie > vho tail
only sec the fault' ? of the other pirt\ .
No party can afford to call a man traitor
because , ho I'oes not siv "amen" to abiihos
which esi-st In his parly. It Is the duty
of every one to ciltlel e any Under In tlio
pirty who Is open to criticism A few
politic ! ins do not constitute a partv.
Honest ciltlcltm Is better than bllndl }
following tint which leads to ultimate
dlsiuptlon
Those of us who believe in goveminent
for lbi people according to the platform of
Abraham Lincoln should not hesitate to de
nounce men of out own partv who would
make ours only a government for the benelK
of the almighty dollat and the possessors
