Lftlior—A Record of Infamy.

Ex-Governor .John P. Altgeld, in his speech before tho Illinois Democratic convention, among other things said:

Tin American people have been paying at tbo national debt which tho war created for ii8 years, and yet, such have been the industrial and financial policies of tho Republican party that today it will tako nearly twice us much of American products, noarly twice as much of American labor, to pay what is left of that dobfc as would have been necessary to pay it all at the conclusion of the war. This is only a sample of all .of tho ivcfs of that party. Although we wore mighty producing as well as debtor nation, and wore therefore interested in keeping up the price of property and in keeping steady the exchange value of money, this Republican party, controlled by foreign influence, legislated in tho interests of the few aud struck 4owq (ho value of American property ^uici American products by nearly onehalf, thus practically doubling the amount of fabor anil sweat that was required to pay a dollar of debt. It is the great mortgaging party of the century. It mortgages the property made by the toil of others. It mortgages the inheritance of tho American people, and, not content with this, it has reached out and mortgaged tho generations yet to come—generations whoso fathers are yet unborn, generations whose bread will bo shortened to pay mortgages created by this political party, and the vast sums of money thus raised at the expense of tho coming toilers of tho earth have been spent in riotous living and in the enrichment of manipulators aud corruptionists.

The civil war brought not only an eclipso for the Democratic party, but it brought a cliango of character. From being tho powerful champion of the human race it was reduced to the humiliating condition of being a. convenience for men who knew not Jefferson, who cared not for humanity and who used government for personal enrichment. Owing to invention, there took place after the war great concentration of capital, and thero were first formed great corporations, but subsequently theso combined and formed trusts and wiped out competition. These corporations soon discovered that by controlling tho government and its policies vast fortunes could be rapidly drawn from the pockets of tho American peoplo, and there came forth in the east shrewd manipulators who controlled both of tho great political parties and prostituted both to their base purposes. Those men got control of the Democratic party and made it a spoilsman's convenience. Our party was robbed of its mission it was robbed of a voice in Iranian affairs it straddled everything and concentrated on nothing. Although the spirit of Democracy had founded this republic and tho Democratic party had shaped its destiny for more than half a century, thero followed a period of •about t!0 years upon which 110 Democrat can look with pride. Having no definite purpose to serve, our people devoted themselves to compromising and trading, and instead of carrying out a great mission wo spent our energies in the lowlands and played tricks in the underbrush.

But a new time was dawning, a new century, was approaching, and tho Almighty decided to make preparation for its advent. The human family was again to move forward. An aggressive army was needed. He looked upon the party of Lincoln and found that it stood lor exactly the opposite of all the principles for which that great man had stood. He found that flfce men who now control the conventions and the counsels of that party had won their position by bribing legislatures, by polluting the Btream of justice, by undermining free institutions and by debauching everything which they touched with their soiled fingers. They formed an as soc ration of banditti, operating in the name of law and giving to the children •of toil a sto'ue whenever they called for bread.

Then tho Almighty turned to the Democratic party. He was familial ^ith its great achievements, familiar Tvith the great purpose for which it had been organized. He found that a ma jority of this party were earnest, patriotic men and as ready as ever tc ®ake sacrifices. He found that it had tor

years been ridden and weakened by •parasites. He found that the poison oi corruption had also to someextent-enter' •ed its veins, but he also saw that if the parasites were drawn off and if the trimmers and deadheads were cast aside the poison could be cast out and that the party would then be capable of nioving forward and fighting greater battles than had before been witnessed. Then there spread over the land a demand for reorganization, and, although the party had been betrayed and its future looked hopeless, there was a demand by the masses that it should be token up out of the swamps in which it had wandered and come up again on to the high lands.

In 1896 there was a new battlecry, and tlie scattered and discouraged Democracy rallied and held the greatest assembly of freemen that ever met on this continent. The party cast off the Parasites. It cast off ^ttie deadheads, vehich had long ridden it and fed it only on false preteneea It flung 4ieW banners to the breeze. Then it went *orth and fought the most gigantic battle ever waged. Its great- leader lifted issue on to high intellectual and

moral pianos, and mane a campaign that was without a parallel in all history, and tho party which only a fov months before was considered dcr'*: poller! 1,000,000 more votes for president than ever before east for a Democratic candidate. When that convention adjourned, we suddenly discovered that all of tho corporations of this country had combined against tho people, and, what was remarkable, all of those men who had established reputations as corruptionists and debaneherfi of public morals suddenly appeared as great higli priests of national honor. Wherever 20 scoundrels were gathered, 19 shouted for McKinley and the twentieth declared he could not stand 10 to 1. All of the money that could be raised 011 two continents was used for the purpose of debauching tho American people. Yot as the campaign progressed so groat was the enthusiasm, so powerful the demonstration of the intelligent American in our favor, that it was apparent that a majority of them were with us. Especially was this tho caso in the strictly American communities. It was in communities having a large purchasable vote and a large ignorant foreign vote that the Republicans made their gains. "When tho election returns came, they were against us. Tho reports from tho polls show that the Republican party had bgen supported, first, by the negroes second, by tho very ignorant foreign vote, which could be controlled by bosses^ third^ thpt ^1) the purchased votes "were given to that ticket, for there was no fond on the other side fourth, that all tho fraudulent voting had been done in favor of that party fifth, that every laboring man that could possibly be coerced or frightened by his employer had voted that ticket six, that the entire hanging on class, which has forever clung to the skirts of wealth, had voted for that party. But even then it appeared that 30,000 more votes properly distributed would have changed the result. When the facts came more completely to light, then it appeared that gigantic frauds and crimes against the ballot had been committed.

No honest man can examine the reports of thitt election v. r'nout being convinced that our caiui ate for tho presidency was clected au 1 that by a largo majority.

DRIVE OUT TRAITORS.

The Democratic Party Should Trample Down Obstructionists. Tlio letter in which fton. William J. Stono of Missouri advised tho eviction of Harrity, tho Pennsylvania goldbug, from tho 'inocratic national committoo is a landmark in tho history wo are making as a country.

For year after year Samuel J. Randall, who was put to the front by tho same element which put Harrity forward, prevented the Democratic party from acting on tlio tariff issue. Those who thought they could do with Harrity what they did with Randall see now that they are dealing with new conditions and with different m'en.

In writing to Chairman Jones Governor Stone says that "many of the so called gold Democrats in the party aro in a state of mutiny, are mjro disposed to co-operate with tho Palmer-Buckner contingent to undo what was accomplished at Chicago, than they aro to cooperate with tho true Democracy in upholding it.''

This is tho vital point. It is so vital that had there been any other action than that actually taken, had the committeo compromised with Harrity and thus opened tho way,for tho PalmerBuckner element to control tho Democratic party, thero would have been no party left.

Now tho party will trample down obstructionists and drive out traitors. There will bo no weakening anywhere, least of all at Springfield, when Missouri Democrats meet to decide between tho Chicago platform and its ene-

Trouble For the Voting Kings. Oregon went Republican by a big majority. They vote for the party that brings the high price for wheat. And wheat went down right after election. What a terrifio lot of trouble the voting king has in fixing himself out with the good times 1

CURRENT NOTES.

Here wo are again with Grover Cleveland prioes for wheat, even during a war, which has always heretofore been a reliable restorer of price. The fall in the price of wheat before the harvest to a point below where it was before the war was declared must be accepted as one of the phenomena of a war under the single gold standard.

This is the first war attempted xyider the single standard, and it is the first time war taxes have ever been levied while at the same time the supply of money in circulation was reduced. The result, of course, is a lower price for farm products than would prevail if silver were coined and greenbacks issued to pay war expenses, thus expanding the volume of currency, instead of contracting it by a huge bond issue

Oregon is a great wheat producing ctate, and Oregon recently gave the goldbugs a vote of confidence, but that was before the price of wheat dropped 50 per cent How do the Oregon wheat raisers like the situation now? Perhaps no better than Oregon silver miners and the southern cotton growers.

The mortality reports of the Spanish •army show that in 1897 82,584 died of yellow fever and the other diseases, whioh shows that a slow war la the most destructive to foreign troops in that climate.

Why, in a republic, should an officer in the army receive any higher pay. or any different food than that of the private soldier? Then is a very decided difference at present, and is an idea borrowed from the oldsmuohiei

tutionality 1 if the inccnie tax had tho efiVct two y. ars ago to array the Democratic party in opposition to the opinion of

hut cMin. T.'ie platform upon which Brynn and Sewall fan in 189(5 and which received the support at the polls of (i, "J02,(Jvoters denounced that decision as having caused a deficit in tho federal revenue and us having "sustained ("institutional objections which had previously been overruled by the ablest judg.-s who had ever sat upon its bench. It went further in demanding that congress shall use all its constitutional power, "that the burdens of taxation may bo equally and impartially laid, to the end that wealth may bear its duo proportion of the expenses of government." Probably 110 such swooping and bold announcement of a purpose to reverse an obnoxious judicial decision was ever uttered by any political organization under any constitutional system that ever existed.

The Democrats, not having a majority of either house' of congress since that famous declaration, have made no movement toward adopting in any way an income tax policy, but Hon. Mr. Jenkins of Wisconsin, a Republican member of the house, who is an income taxer, has brought in the following proposed amendment to the federal constitution, which he proposes to administer to his party associates and to ask a vote upon at the short session of next winter. It reads as follows: "The congress shall have power to levy and collect taxes both direct and indirect, but taxes both direct and indirect shall bo uniform throughout the United States."

This would appear to meet all requirements, and its meaning seems beyond the power of any court to gainsay. If adopted, it would be the sixteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States.—New York News.

STAND FIRM FOR SILVER.

Gold Democrats Sheuld Get No Place ou Democratic Tickets. There should be no compromise on the part of Democrats as to the currency problem. Men who are not sound on the "monetary question," men who proved false to silver in 1896, men who are looking for a "now issue"—in short, all the men who have dodged the financial question or who hkve given aid and comfort to the forces for gold monometallism—should bo required to serve in the ranks of Democracy whenever they return to camp and should bo given plenty of time to prove that they are no longer assistant Republicans. There is no question of more importance to the peoplo than that of tho currency.

Tho Democratic party espouses the cause of the people, and it would prove falso to the trust if it should reward a gold Democrat with an office for treason to his party and tho peoplo's cause. Let Democratic leaders see to it that only those men who have stood loyally by their guns in defense of the freo coinago of silver are given recognition On Democratic tickets. This paper will cordially support all Democratic candidates who have a clear record on this most important question, but it will not give aid to Republicans by supporting gold Democrats. Monetary "reformers" aro weakening at Washington. Republican congressmen fear to push the Indianapolis currency system in the house. Now is tho timo to make the issue clean cut and decisive. There should bo no quibbling. Stand firm by the cause of silver, and victory will be secured.—Chicago Dispatch.

The Speculative Spirit.

The speculative spirit has been one cause of our downfall. The passion for wealth has burned up our prudence and forethought. We are the most shortsighted, wasteful, shiftless and unbusinesslike nation that ever existed. Our business policy is to mortgage the first story to build the second and the second to build the third, and so on till the building is 15 stories high, when there is a general collapse. The man who can build his house of cards the highest before it tumbles is called a man of enterprise and business ability. In six months no less than 10 of our railroads have collapsed, and in the 15 days following the last election 28 banks tumbled to the ground.

Tho Patriotic Honey Shark. The Morgans,. Carnegies, Rockefellers, Drexels r»nd other high priests ol the protection creed are organizing a gigantic steel trust, including 90 pei cent of the steel works of the conntry. Those "patriots" and "honor" men who swathed themselves indecently in the American flag dozing the campaign of 1896 at the dictation of Hanna, who loves his'eountry so well that he doesn't want it to go to war under any pretext, are organizing just in time to cinch the government on all sorts of contracts. Great patriots, those money sharks!— Fresno Expositor.

Chuuncey the Weathercock. -s When ho was in Paris, our own and only Chauncey Depew told the Parisians the talk about an Anglo-American alliance was all moonshine and that the only country which America really loved is France. In London "the peach" advocated an alliance between the twe great English speaking nations. All oi which shows that Dr. Depew has determined to be agreeable under any and all circumstances.—St Loais'Republic.

To Ooarantea, bnt Not to Iune. General Green B. Raura sums up the demands made by the monetary reformer now pressing congress in favor of the banks in one neat little sentence. He says the demand is "that the government shall go out of the banking business by ceasing to issue cixtoniating notes of its own, bnt shall remain in the banking boainess for the purpose of guaranteeing and redeeming the aote* Of the banks."

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is an almost unfailing enre if taken ia the earlier stages of the disease. It will care consumption and all allied diseases, as bronchial, throat and nasal affections. It cures by going to first principles. A man's body starves a long time before consumption attacks him. The tissues of his lungs starve for lack of sufficient nourishment They become inert and half dead and then are attacked by the baccilli of consumption. The "Golden Medical Discovery "restores the long-lost appetite it strengthens the weak stomach and corrects the impaired digestion it promotes the flow of digestive juices and facilitatea the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food into the blood. When the blood is pure and rich, old inert tissues are torn down, carried off and excreted, and new, healthy, muscular tissues replace them.
