idea of electing United States

Senators by a direct vote of the people ia growing in popularity.

is going up and wheat coming

down according to the Wilson bill, acd a whole lot of farmers and workingmen have quit voting the Democrat ticket, and stilt there's more to follow.

THE government deficit for the present year will be $78,000,000. That continued means bonds and interest for the Shylocks, aud interest burdens for the working people.

THE Liberal party of Eugland with Eord Roseberry, as the Premier proposes to continue as under Gladstone in favor of the abolition or very great modification of the House of Lords. From the way the United States Senate is acting now it looks very much like a large number of the present members should be abolished •or expelled and the people given a chance to send men there who are honest at least, and in favor of the interests of the people. Since the "Wilson biil has been under consideration in the Senate, a number of Democrat Senators are openly charged with using their influence to secure such action as would enable them to speculate in the sugar trust stock for personal gain. They are said to have so speculated and made thousands of dollars and yet a resolution, introduced by Mr. Peffer to investigate said scandals was -voted down. Nineteen Democrats and fourteen Republicans voted to stop the investigation, and thirteen Republicans, eleven Democrats and three Populists voted to go ahead. We cannot understand why the fourteen Republicans wanted to stop the investigation. No Republican was charged with speculating because from the very nature of the case, they could not do so because the information to work on could only be obtained in the Democratic committee. If Senators had been found guilty it would have been Democrat Senators. Now that Republicans have assisted to cover up the rascality not much capital can be made out of the rascally conduct. There is too much senatorial courtesy aud the U. S. Senate has degenerated from broad minded statesmanship that looked after ifche interests of the country to personal pilfering and covering it up. Shame on the Senate.

THE PROCTER & GAMBLE CO.. CIN'TI.

IT has all along been well known that Olevelaud and his attorney, General liichard Olney. were friends and supporters of trusts and monopolies, but now the Democratic demagogues in the U. S. Senate, headed by "Slippery elm Dan" Vorhees, of Indiana, the prince of demagogues, have shown their adherence to the trusts, whiskey aud sugar. We do not ask you to take Republican testi inony, but quote the Indianapolis Sentinel of Friday last. "The Senate committee has made its report on the Wilson bill, and the report is simply infamous. It shows that the Sugar Trust, the Whiskey Trust the railroad and coal combine and the iron mine combine have had their way with the committee, and the whiskey man from Troy has had his demands granted as to collars and cuffs. The Sugar trust is given a donation of 4-10 of a cent per pound, which is, in fact, a greater advantage than the Mckinley advantage of 5-10 with 1-10 additional, as against any outside competition. If Mr, bounty, because the duty of 1 cent per pound on raw sugar added to this gives the tru?t absolute command of our market, as against any outside competition. If Mr. Havemyer did not dictate this section he dictated it to some one who did dictate it. It is simply an outrage on the people and on the Democratic party. It is a thing that cannot be explained or justified to any intelligent man, or to many« who are not intelligent. If it be Demo cracy to give such favors as these to notorious, lawless trusts we know of no way in which Democracy can be distinguished from Republicanism.

The extension of the bonded period of whiskey from three to eight years is an even worse concession to one of the worst trusts in the country. The man who is responsible for it is an enemy to the Democratic party, and we may add in this connection that we do not believe that Hill, or Murphy, or Gorman, or Brice, or Morgan, or White, or Caffery is in any way responsible for it. There will be some pretty close guessing at who is responsible if this scandalous favor to the Whiskey Trust goes into law."

It is Indiana's senior Senator, Daniel W. Yorhees, who is the brewer and distiller's friend, against the interests of tae people. The bill, as changed to suit Vorhees, means $20,000,000 additional profit for the Whiskey Trust. The Sentinel goes on: "The duties on coal and iron cannot be defended even on the principle of protection. They are imposed solely for the benefit of the railroads of the country, which own most of the coal and iron mines and want to force everyone to use their product. The increase of duties on collars and cuffs is a concession to the vile New York inflnencc which has long been held in detestation by the people of the country at large, and which at length seemes to have turued the stomachs of the people of New York."

GEORGE W. CHILDS DREXEL, the wealthy young man who succeeds the late Geo. W. Childs, as editor and publisher of the Philadelphia Public Ledger is but 26 years of age. He has come into the ownership of a grand and noble possession. Its business has been built up ou its own merits and not upon detraction of its business competitors for public favors. In its editorial and news columns there has been an absolute freedom from impurity of thought, of phraseology or of sensationalism. It has been just and impartial in its criticisms and has served public rather than personal or party interests. The aim of the Public Ledger was "be just and be accurate." Under the management cf young Mr. Drexel, it will be so far as his judgment and conscience can make it an honest, reliable, just, independent, accurate and progressive newspaper. It is well for the public to be able to secure such a newspaper. In a limited way and on a small scale it has been the aim ef the REPUBLICAN to pursue such a course as above described. As to our success, the public are the idges, we have received a larger share of subscription patronage than usually falls to the lot of a county newspaper and we are grateful for it. With increased light and a wider experience and more extended observation the public can rest assured that will we adhere even more closely to the above .line in the future than we have in the past. It shall be the aim of the REPUBLICAN to be just, accurate, honorable, fair and for the public interests before personal gain every time. As such a newspaper, we ask your careful and candid consideration and if deemed worthy, your support.

The March Lippincott as usual is a' good one. The complete novel is "A Desert Claim," by Mary E. Stickney, a charming tale of ranch life in Colorado. Gilbert Parker's serial, "The Trespass," reaches its ninth chapter. "The Inmate of the Dungeon," by W. C. Morrow, is a story of uncommon power. Joel Chandler Harris, in "The Late Mr. Watkins of Georgia His Relation to Oriental FolkLore," compares a curious legend of his own State with one of India.

In "A Prophet of the New Womanhood," Anna Nathan Meyer considers Henrik Ibsen from an unfavorable point of view. Emma

Henry

Fnrgason tells

"More about Captain Reid," the Confederate blockade-runner. John Gilmer Speed describes "The Training of the Sad die-Horse." Dr. Charles C. Abbott writes of "Bees and Buckwheat," and Charles Mcllvaine of "The Evolution of Public Roads." In "Talks with the Trade," the subject of "Literary Mendicancy" is presented.

The poetry of the number is by Anna Robeson Brown and John James Meehan.

At No. 27 West Main street, Greenfield, we have a well arranged, modern undertaking establishment. We have a complete line of cheap and medium goods, and earnestly solicit business of these grades, and promise to give it our best and most careful attention. We also have in stock a Hue of very fine metallic and wood caskets, and other goods to correspond, that are not excelled in the best establishments in large cities. We make a specialty of fine, elaborate funerals. Our equipments are amply sufficient and modern. We have no business except undertaking and give it our undivided study and attention, hence we think we are more competent, and have a stronger claim for your patronage than if we were engaged in other business and made undertaking a secondary matter. We also have an establishment at Morristown. C. W. MORRISON & SON.

Why Times Are Hard.

"There is uo way to put money in circulation except through wages paid. Issuing government bonds doseu't make circulation. The laborers must earn it and spend it, and that will make it Hush. The statisticians say the 20,000,000 laboring people in this cotrntry earn when they are at work from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 a day. The Wilson tariff bill will cut these wages from 10 to 25 percent. The ten per ceBt cut on $40,000,000 will be a loss of $4,000,000 a day to laboring men, or $1,200,000,000 in a year. A 25 per cent, cut in wages will take $3,000,000,000 out of circulation. One-third of our labor is idle now. The idleness is costing us probably $10,000,000 a day. I do not wonder that the times are hard and that money is tight. There is money enough in the banks. They are glutted, but labor isn't getting it. It will stay there till labor gets it out." -Hon. Thomas B. Reed.
