Cummins of lowa, made a powerful arraignment of the Repub- | lican congressional leaders as traitors to the Republican party. Answering the attempt of Speaker Cannon to read the tariff “insurgents’’ out of the party, he showed by quotation from the Republican platform that it was not the so-called insurgents, but Cannon, Payne and. Aldrich that were guilty of treason to Republican His speech recalls the parliamentary debates in England just previous to the Revolutionary war, when William Pitt declared that the colonists were maintaining the ancient rights of Englishmen which the British ministry was attempting to overthrow, and declared that, were he an American as he was an Englishman, he “would never submit—never! never! never!’’ “ i It recalls also the events just preceding the Civil war, when Buchanan’s administration, repudiating the principles of the Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson, became simply the servile tool of the southern oligarchy; And patriotic Democrats arose in their , < might and majesty all over the land, ( under the leadership of such “Insurgents” as Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois, David C. Brodercik of California. • Stewart of Michigan, Payne and Pugh ' of Ohio, and Fortney, Rickman arid ; Dougherty of Pennsylvania. " ( This latter example is remarkably ] like the present situation. The slave-, ( holding oligarchy, maddened by lust of- power and drunk with success, had such an influence with both Whig and Democratic leaders that it was able to control the congressional P° Uc *of both parties, so far as its interests were concerned. It enacted compromises and fugitive slave laws sneertagly regardless of the growing moral sense of the people. The result was the destruction of the Whig party and a popular upheaval and political reorganization which ended the slave power forever. In the present instance the oligarchy is of monopoly. It is as drunken with gyeed as were the southerners with , tag.jnoral sense as 'were they. Through Abhorrent .influences it controls a suffitient number of, congressmen to ept act legislation ta its interest, cynically unmindful of- party pledges and ..pt •.*> estof the people. As the “insurgents* of feuehanau’a time were , soon, recqgnixed* as patriotic leaders, so will the monopolistic and pjntopratlc iule s be. regardedaschaft- •<-. pJons ofAhe rights, pt the people and - tenders so » fo 1 ' 1 triumph, If there be virtue left in the republic.

Speaking drich-Cannon tariff Isfw ~he. said that for many years the Republican party ' arid through it the national government, have been controlled by“fotereats which thrive by the artful use of ... .. UiC taxing power as a means <$ private gain. And then headded:- - r “One thing has .betel'’gained and wttl not be lost The'syfoeta'of : leg- ■ ** priTa k ,^ d ehildren Gry CA>TQ«4A

ptfblic advantage stands at last stripped naked before the eyes of 1 the people. They can no longer be deceived about its nature, design arid ; operation.”' : Det us hope that it is true that the people “can no longer be deceived” about the nature of the present and other Republican /tariffs. Mr. Taft I thinks they can, and he is doing his * part by traveling over the country (at public expense) trying to make the people believe that the latest tariff grab tea good thing for them. The , Democratic party has stood firm from the beginning, as (Governor Harmon also said, against granting by law any ' special favors and advantages whatever. And when the people wake up 1 to that fact the Republican party will ■ go out of business. W—^jps——■ WE HAVE A* GREAT OPPORTUNITY There is no doubt that the Democrats have the best opportunity in many years to secure control of the next nattonal house and to enlarge their representation in the senate. At the last session of congress the fact was demonstrated that no tariff reform of any sort can come from the Republican party. Mr. Tafts eopen alliance with the Aldrich-Cannon combination of special-favor seekers, and his attack upon the few Republican senators who refused to follow Aldrich and Cannon, is ‘further evidence, that the game of graft and grab is still the favorite industry, of the Republican party under its present leadership. Practically all of the independent papers of the country, whether they have Democratic or Republican leanings, have denounced the Payne-Aldrich-Cannon tariff law and are now engaged in condemning President Taft for praising that measure and for defending the men who made the Republicans in congress swallow it The country can see more clparly now than ever beforp that the, only,.£ope of tariff Reform lies ta the Democratic party. If the people vote as. they think there will be no doubt about the Democrats controlling the next house.’ ! The office expenses of the governor’s office for mine months under Mr. shall were only s3l more than-Mr. Hanly spent during his last 6 months. Governor Marshall is prac; ticing what he ?‘?‘® SSXSSSSBSSSSSSSSSS9X .. Why any Republican tariff redormer should hang onto the Republican party until he is kicked President Taft or anybody else, passes, understanding. Most of them,' it can - besaid to their credit, are going out without waiting to be kicked. . My, what a lot of good city administrations there are going to be in 1 Indiana after ~the first of January, W Brerys ing.to give hte people an administration the like& W&. they sever «s»perienced, X V ear later the bound of. the chorus of hampers wilil hie heard te many cities.—Columbia City SKMMWW ■ ■ i Depatur Democrat* got ln a wradg’S among themselves ejected a rt- - publican mayor. Those cases generally -turn out that neither side of the i controversy is satisfied in the end ’ and wish they had pulled together for the election of the ticket If a Democratic newspaper should slop around, bolting the ticket so promiscuously as some of these alleged party leaders, the editor would be driven, out of the county.—Bluffton Banner. J The steel trust and the so-called ' independent steel men have entered 3 into a “gentlemen’s agreement” to pick the pockets of the American people. The Aldrich-Cannon-Taft * tariff law prevents outside interferL * ence and this' “gdntlemep’a .agree- * ment” heads off home competition. f And the same thing is true in all * other lines controlled by. the big trusts and big interests. Is it any 1 wonder that the cost of living is P" mounting higher all the time and that the cOmmpn people are being ’ reduced to a condition of serfdom? The New York Tribune, the leading thick-and-thin Republican paper of the

» cratlc presidential nomination, but it I says that “so far he had shown little control 6f the national- organization!” s There is no reason My Governor Mar- ’ shall should “make a contest’- for (ho I control of the national organization. The Democratic party does not allow i its national organization to nominate : its candidates. The business of the • organization is to help elect them after ! they have been chosen. If the Demo- > crats of the country want Governor i Marshall—and it seems reasonably : certain that they will—they will just reach out and take him. And if they nominate him he will be elected. The > Democratic party arid the country sustained a great loss in the death of Governor Johnson of Minnesota but the party and the country are nut hopeless so long as men like Thomas R s Marshall of Indiana are in view. A;/ , President Taft-ftas announced that he will ask congress St it* next'session to permit the secretary of the interior to issue $10,000,000 of bonds to complete the , irrigation projects! now under way. It is said (that it will take $100,000,000 to complete the wprk now started, but doubtiesb Mr.' Taft thinks it wWI not do, at this time, in view of his statement abbut. cutting down expenses, to tell the public about it, But according to a Washington dispatch there 1. eol »g to be] a big demand for other bond issues. The dispatch says: “The request for an irrigation bond issue of $10,000,000 or more is not the only request of this sort that will be made of congress at the coming session. The rivers and harbors congress is coming along with more than a request—a demand—for > bond issue of $50,000,000 a year for rivet’ and harbor improvements. Another organization which is putting out a propoganda in favor of the reclamation of the swamp lands of the country alsojlptends to ask for a bond issue, if the government proposes to raise rriottey.' ta that way for the reclamation or for the improvement of rivers and harbors? These new demands on the treasury lead observers here to won-1 der what has become df talked of movement to reduce government expenses.” * POLITICS . ?.i \ IN ’ , ; The results of the city elections held, ip foe state last wdekfrtfo# ♦hat MM •• ,“sz <■, general trend of public confidence . < . •turn nr w toward the two’" or • ItaMF strictly loc#!. causes—the 'Democratic carrfMdWbry city that they had any! reason they could carry.
