THE TAFT CAMPAIGN FUND.

Charles P. Taft... $160,000 Andrew Carnegie... 25,000 J. Pierpont Morgan...... 25,000 William N. Cromwell 25,000 Whitelaw Reid 25,000 These are the notable contributors to the Taft campaign fund, of which Mr. Sheldon reports as sl,700,000. President Roosevelt gave SI,OOO. Charles Taft’s total campaign expenditure for his brother Is 'said to have been more than $250,000. ‘ ‘ . ; ' The remainder of the fund came from scores of bankers, railroad officials, and directors of corporations of all kinds. The lesson is plain to the farmer and the workinman. The money

interests were lined up behind Judge Taft. They will expect their reward. And that reward will take the form of special privileges to certain individuals and corporations, and preservation of the iniquitous high protective tarifT to reimburse the contributors many times their outlay. Mr. Carnegie's $25,000 comes from the steel trust, which, more than any other one concern, is to blame for the continuance of business depression. It sells its products for less in Mexico than in Pittsburg, and its unjust protection by high tariff has enabled Mr. Carnegie personally to take $600,000,000 out of American pockets for his own use. Pierpont Morgan is the world’s greatest trust organizer, and the richest and most powerful rival of the Rothschild’s in international finance. He controls more than $4,000,000,000 worth of American railroad securities, and more than $3,000,000,000 worth of industrial securities.

William Nelson Cromwell is the gentleman who sold us the Panama canal. He has bee£ accused of sharing In the $28,000,000 grait obtained by the coterie who flnancied that mysterous deal. And he has not denied the truth of the accusation. He Is the ablest corporation lawyer in New York, and high in the counsels of the trusts. Whitelaw Reid is an eastern aristocrat. He represents this country in London, where the regal splendor of hi*, entertainments are the talk of society. He is vastly rich, and he and hiß family very much prefer European society life to residence in New York. , * . There seems' to have been a

very good treason why Mr. Sheldon refused to give out his l*st of contributors before the election. Judge Taft posed as the friend oi the workingman. But his financial backers are pretty poor proof of the sincerity of that friendship. —Chicago Journal.

THE DEMOCRACY ON GUARD.

Writers In various journals are now indulging in the jmcient and useless work of writing obituary notices of the Democratic partyft has, long been a favorite theme, after defeat, with the timid and faint-hearted though loyal ones| as v ell as with those whose wish is father to the thought, of the demise of the constitutional party of the country. The Democratic party never was so strong before the people as It is today. Leaders may be misguided, lack power of organization, or fail to grasp current conditions. Candidates may be weak before the entire electorate while strong in action for themselves. Four successive defeats have not impaired the faith of the Democratic voters in the creed of their party nor instilled a doubt in the ultimate and final success of their principles and of their party organization. Cleveland’s victory in 1882 was more destructive than all the defeats. If Mr. Bryan’s numerous candidacies have classed him but as a “peacemaker” for the Republican party the Democrats have seen with pleasure the G. O. P. striking into a Democratic stride occasionally in obedience to popular opinion. If Mr. Bryan has fully demonstrated his unavailability, as a can-

didate, that does not destroy or ruin the Democratic party. While eliminating the Nebraskan as it does from future candidates, neither he nor his followers can any slighting of his merits by the Democracy of the republic. The party existed before the birth of Mr. Bryan and will continue to oppose, contend and struggle against governmental wrongs and abuses as long as the republic lives. It was not organized for protection of privileges but protection of rights of the masses. It does not live for the advancement of a man, or a special class of men, but for the Interests of the majority of the citizens of the United States. Defeat does not dismay its members, but upon the contrary renders them more determined to fight op. It is dependent upon no commissary train for its support and fights best and accomplishes most when its opposition has fattened upon the flesh pots and is gorged with the substance of the people. Writers can file their obituary notices by the thousands, opposition orators can preach funeral sermons by the hundreds, third party chiefs can prophesy of dissolution. It is all labor lost; all hopes that are vain. The cry of the gallant officer at Waterloo, “The-old guard dies, but never surrenders,” was a glorious response, but. the Democratic party has a nobler one. It neither dies nor surrenders. It Is immortal.—Cincinnati JBnquirer (Ind.)

SIMPLE TASTES.

Repugnant To Gold Lace and Brass Buttons, Says Marshall. Ft. Wayne, Ind. Nov. 21.—Gover-nor-elect Thomas R. Marshall announces that he does not intend 'to appoint a personal staff. The new Governor is simple in his tastes and sees no necessity for the traditional accompaniment of gold lace, brass buttons and military titles on state occasions, and says when needed he Can call upon the officers of the Indiana National Guard. This is distressing news for a promising prospective crop of Colonels, Majors and Captalnß about the state.

HOMES DESIRED FOR CHILDREN
