Two Tun of McKinley and Hanna at Waahington. fWtrklaca of tk* Dtagley Law a>4 Ike Gold StaaAard—Strikes •toad of PrMH*lt7<wTk« Miaaftoa of OtoMraer. At the Chicago Auditorium Saturday evening, September 24, ex-Gov. -John P. Alt geld, of Illinois, delivered .« lengthy address upon the political questions of state and nation, in which &e dwelt impressively upon the corruption of republicans and the results *«f two years of their rule at Washington. In the course of his remarks Mr. Altgeld said:

"In the campaign of *M the trusts and the «nat concentration of capital In this country raised an enormous fund for the pur.pose of debauching American dtisens and •'Carrying the election by Improper methods. As soon as President McKinley was Inaugurated the different Interests which had contributed this fund demanded that they ’~be given an opportunity to collect It back, together with an enormous profit. Conigresa was at once convened, and although 4n session many months. It did no business -except to enact the Dingley law. Ostensibly it was for the protection of the laborer and to furnish money for the treasury, but It did neither of these things, and In -reality It was for the benefit of monopolies only. The famous McKinley law, rthen barely dead, had during Its life not ■raised the wages of any laborer In this -country, and had. for the year ending July. MK produced a deficit In the treasury of JTO.OW.OOO. This was caused by placing du--ties so high as to stop Importations of certain articles. The treasury naturally got »nothing, while the advanced price of goods, which the people had to pay. went Into the * chests of the monopolies. The Dingley law -was constructed oh the same principles. and the deficit In the national treasury, under this lsw. promises to be fully equal to that under the McKinley law. nor has It raised the wages of any laborer; but ft haa created conditions by which the American people are being compelled to pay ■hundreds of millions of dollars, not Into the federal treasury, but Into the coffers of ^private corporations The Sugar Trust. "One Illustration answers for all. The great sugar trust had. and has, control of the sugar business and market of this country. It reputed to have given over • fl,000.000 campaign funds In 18M. so In framing the Dingley law the sugar trust waa given such a tariff as It wanted. The result of this was tbst the price of sugar went up SS per cent; sugar that the laboring man formerly got for four cents a pound was st ones marked up to flvt cents; Instead of getting 25 pounds for one -dollar, he got 20: and during the first year -after this Dingley law went Into effect the sugar trust cleared over JSO.000,000. over and .above what It could hive made under the former tax. Not a cent of this went Into the federal treasury, but It all came out of the pockets of the people. The trust not only got back the millions It had given, but It got nearly S20.000.000 besides. Almost the : same atateoffacts exists with relation to the .leather trust and a great number of other trusts and combinations. Nothing done for the laborer, but everything for the manipulator. Home labor la driven out by ■pauper labor brought over In shiploads, but the trust Is protected. Gentlemen, do you believe In using the powers of government to enable a few men In that manner to make fortunes off of the masses of the neonle?

The Worst Cam •* AIL “Again, two year* ago the republicans declared. In their convention, that they would sustain the gold standard only until 'they .could get an International agreement restoring bimetallism, and they pledged themselves to do everything In their pow-«-er to secure such an agreement. During .the campaign we charged that this pledge was not made In good faith, that they were really under control of foreign, and eastern manipulators and that that pledge was •implv Intended to deceive, and in that way secure the votes of conscientious republicans who felt that the gold standard was a curse'to this country. We pointed out that the demonetisation of sliver had resulted In lowering the general level <ot the price of property nearly » percent.; that the total amount of money in circulation in the world determined the demand -for property, and thus fixed the general level of all prices, while the law of supply and demand would again raise or lower the price of any particular article above or below this general level; that the lowerting of this general level ha*, destroyed the purchasing power of our farmers and of the great producing classes, and had thus -paralysed our industries, destroyed our ^nde and caused widem read bankruptcy. , suffering and distress throughout the civilised world, and that, until the general level of prices was again raised to what 'It was during the existence of the bimetalflic standard, ws could not again have prosperity: that a low standard of values always falls hard on the poor and always fives the manipulator an advantage; It breaks manhood and cheapens character: end Inasmuch as the debts. Interest and taxes and the great burdens that were weighing our people down were not re- . duccd la size, but required Just as many •dollars to liquidate them as was former.ly necessary, that It was a crime to main* a system which made each dollar .twice as hard to get at as It formerly was. ..and we claimed that If silver were restored .to the place that It had occupied for hundreds of years. It would again raise the .general level of prices of property and en.able our people to discharge their bu£•dena and to buy freely, and again inaugu.raie an era of prosperity, industry and .happiness. Larky Ace idea to. “A whole chapter of accidents followed •the election of all favorable to the republicans. First, tht great drought and • consequent failure of crops on three contiaiects. resulting in a terrible famine, temporarily raised tht price of wheat faf above the general level, and thus helped those farmers that had not yet sold their •crops; and second, the same drought caused the loss of about #,dW,W head of sheep In Australia and the surrounding Islands, which fact raised the price of sheep ar.d the pries of wool throughout ibe world; and third, came war. which usually creates mors or less activity in commercial circles. Astonishing as it may .seem, ths republicans attributed all these things to tbsir tariff law. But these accident* have spent their force; wheat is -again approaching the 50-cent line, the gen•oral level of prices Is about whers It was two years ago. and is showing a constant •tendency to sink stIU tower, because, while •the population of the earth Is increasing omd demands more and more money, the •annual addition to the world's store of unoney Is no*, increasing in proportion, la •ooasequence of tbs general downward ten*de •> of prices no man feels, safs to cmtbark in new enterprises, and the money <bat ws havs la the country Is collecting at the centers. Ilk* blood congesting ths .heart, and la aot circulating in tbs ex--ttemitlea. Ks» Prosperity—Plewty of Strikes. “Instead of ths restoration of prosperity. ,a we were promised, ws And that only •these classes who in one manner or another devour the subetance of other msn's -toil are prospering, while the great massea of our people And themselves la as much •distress as aver. While the broken and •speculators, the manipulators who have absolute control of certain markets and •can force the people to pay any price they stay ask. ace talking about presetrtur.

we fled that there have recently been, aad eo far a* I am advised are yet ia progress, 17 great strikes ia Industrie! centers of th’i country all oa account of wages, in nearly all cases reductions having been made, a reduction, too, from what were already starvation wage*. In the great wood-working town of Oshkosh, in Wis- j conaln, where a strike lasted eo long and was of eo fierce a character that the military had to be eeat there to maintain order, an inquiry developed the fact that skilled workmen that used to get 12.60 e day were getting only 11.28 a day. working ten hours, and day laborers were getting only 88 cento a day; men 80 aad 48 years of age, '» the prime Ute, with families to support, were working ten hours and getting 68 cent* At Pena, in Illinois, we have for months had a strike among the coal miner* because the mine operators Insisted on reducing wages below a starvation point, declaring that they could not otherwise run their mine* And they are now driving the white men off and filling their places with negroes brought from

RegeaeMtei Democracy. "Two years ago our great party adopted a new declaration of Independence. It cut loose from the forces that were degrading It—that were robbing It of Its mission. It devoted Itself anew to the service of mankind, to the elevation of humanity. 81nce then It has demonstrated that a resolute. compact minority party with high aim and lofty purpose* can frequently accomplish more for the welfare of the human race than a majority party: that while a majority party has to busy Itself with patriotism and compromises to keep Its supporters together, the minority party can keep Its face to the sun. constantly holding Us hand on the sword of Justice. Glories Achieved. T want here to congratulate the democracy of America upon the fact that since Its release two years ago from the paralysing Influences that had controlled It. It has already made an achievement th^t will forever gild the close of this century with glory. It has driven that tyranny, that robbery, that assassination, which for centuries has darkened our skies near our borders, forever off the western hemisphere. It has rescued suffering millions: it has lifted the standards of Justice. It has opened a career for countries which have tasted nothing but the curse of oppression for centuries. It has done more: it has put in practice, and thus enforced recognition of. a new principle of international law, and that Is, that no government has the right to rob and murder tts cttlsens, and that wherever It does so. It is the duty of other governments to Interfere and protect the people. This principle marks a new advent Ip the history of the world, and has a meaning for the coming millions of the earth that only the eye of the omniscient can measure. Should the regejn^ era ted democracy never accomplish, anything more, this one achievement will cover Its memory with glory.

The Chirago Platform. **I further congratulate the democracy upon the fact that every day since 1S96 has demonstrated the wisdom and the high position then taken, not simply on the money question, but upon all the other great questions. The money question lies at the base of our distress, and must be righted before we can again prosper. We must and will restore the dollar of the fathers. The gold standard is a disastrous failure in every country that has recently tried to establish it It has utterly ruined India, and recently the bankers and brokers and gold standard writers of London have united In a protest against any further attempt to establish the gold standard in India, declaring that it has not jnly rutned India, but that H would produce a panic in London, because there is not enough gold for the purpose. In England and in the German ‘empire the agricultural Interests are paralysed, and a parliamentary Inquiry as to England has shown that this condition is due to the gold standard. and In both of these great countries there is now a powerful movement for the reestablishment of bimetallism. This question is arousing the world, and will continue to do so until it is settled right. Mission of Democracy. ••So. with the questions of corruption, of corporation rule, of usurpation by federal courts, etc. The Intelligence, the patriotism and the manhood of the country are with us. The scribbltng by handy hired men is still against us. but is losing its influence. The regenerated democracy will take no backward step. It has a great mission. and under the peerless Bryan will perform It. It stands for higher ideals, stands for a higher justice, stands for a uew era stands for a new republic.” NOT TO BE EXTINGUISHED. The Money Question Is sp Isaac Thai the Monopolists Gnanot rot Down. The anxiety of the money trust to attract attenti >n away from financial subjects, and, if possible, prevent their further discuss on during the present and future campaigns, is entirely natural. It colt U>ese people not less than $23,000,oqgjkTsecure the election of William McKiuley in 1890. Notwithstanding their enormous financial resources, they came perilously near failure. Worst oi all, however, that campaign set the middle classes to thinking upon matters of finance as they had neverilhought before. This it what members of the money trust dread more than any other one thing. They understand if the time should ever come when our people shall carefully consider questions of finance the, day of fat stealing is over for them. To carry the election of 1900 on the financial issue would goat them not leas than $40,000,000. and then the result would not be a foregone conclusion. Perhaps they believe by the Judicious expenditure of $5,000,000 or $0,000,000 they can control the current of political discussion this year, and thus aide-track a dangerous issue. They have already practically shut off the great city dailies. Through the Associated Press, the American News company, and other hews agencies, they hold the metropolitan press in the hollow of their hands. Every agricultural and religious journal willing to prostitute itself for money has been secured. Party leaders with life in them are now in strong demand. They do not invest in dead politicians any more than in dead horses, so, when you see a politician trying to crowd the money question to the rear and minor issues to the front, It la safe to bet there is a hen on. The people crowded the slavery question to the front and kept it there until it was settled in spite of politicians and financial interests. They can be trusted to treat the money question in the vV'

IT IS STILL ALIVE Tli« Goldbar Party Cannot Kill «• Free Stiver Movement with Their Bomhaat.

“The silver erase is dead” is the oft repeated cry of the magpies and chatterboxes of the goldbug party, says £. E. Ewing, in the Silver KnightWatchman. Wait and see. The silver men are intelligent thinkers. They have read and studied the silver queer tion and understand the magnitude and influence the free coinage of silver would have for the good of the business of the country. They are not standing around in groups talking, neither are the gold or the tariff advocates found in that position. The money question is to be more the issue in the future than ever In the past. In tact, there is no other prominent question before the American people today on which party lines are so clearly drawn, and stiver must occupy the fore front of the question in opposition to the gold erase. The gold craze is as much of a erase to-day as the worship of Baal had become among the Jews when Elijah mocked the idol's priests, telling them to call louder, that maybe he was asleep or on a journey. But their frantic screams and rending of garments did not bring rain or Are down from Heaven to kindle wood* under the burnt offering; and neither do the promises of prosperity by the priest of mammon, “sound money" and gold standard bring prosperity. Their gold idol like Baal must be asleep or on a journey and hears not, however much the worshipers of the calf rend their garments and cry “we are on the edge of prosperity. The greatest boom is about to start ever known; silver is dead!" The new relations which the war with Spain has created in the east and the extension of our power and government over the most important islands of the West Indies call for more money, and they call loudly for more silver money than for any other kind. As our territory and business expands our money must be increased to supply that business with the sinews of trade, and silver of all other moneys is the money of the Asiatic people. With the silver which our mines produce coined into American money we can control almost the entire trade of the east in a short thne and force the whole of Europe to adopt our money policy in self-preservation of their foreign trade. Cuba and Puerto Kico will have to be supplied with American money. As for Cuba becoming an independent nation with an army and navy to support is the veriest moonshine. The island will be filled with American capital and dominated by American enterprises which will demand the protection of a strong nation that will assume the expense of national government, and guarantee domestic tranquillity, free and stable government and defense against imposition by strong nations of Europe. It is possible that Cuba may monkey awhile at independent government, but it is

hardly probable. With Manila and the island on which it Is located, and the principal city, island and seaport of the Ladrone group in 1 our possession the whole of these Islands is bound to be dominated by American influence, and American money to control the trade will be as necessary as the American nary and garrisons to protect the inhabitants, insure domestic tranquillity and spread American institutions. And for the fulfillment of these beneficient objects Americansilver dollars are fully as necessary as the protecting angels of American law and the United States nary. American silrer is destined to become the greatest power in the old east that has erer been exercised in the west. It will work a fructifying and rejurenating influence greater than British cannon and western trade has erer exerted. Even the star of empire is fighting against the gold standard. No nation of people are benefited by It except the Jew bankers of Great Britain and their relatives who manage the gold banks in the capitals of this continent. The rank and file of the people of every nation and clime under the sun are afflicted by the gold standard, and only the few who own bonds and debts have an interest in keeping up the gold standard, and they because that monetary policy makes all property, labor and men cheap and money dear. American influence, American silver and American institutions must go hand in hand into the old east to call the dust covered dead from the tomb into which gold and tyranny l%id them thousands of years ago, and join bone to bone, as It were, breathe life into the dead, and change the groans of despair into a hymn of hope and rejoicing. POINTS AND OPINIONS. -The republican party exhibits I its anxiety for a big standing army by favoring all projects that would make a large army a necessity#—Ottumwa (la.) Democrat. -Mark Banna is not making campaign speeches, but the committees do not complain so long as ha has it fixed so they can draw on him.—Chicago Record (Ind.). —The marked reduction in the republican majority in Maine is indicative of party apathy, and, taken in connection with the slump in the republican vote in Vermont, shows a prevalence of conditions that may weM give republican leaders throughout the country concern.—-PhflLadelphia Ledger (Rep.). —The republican press professes to be perfectly satisfied with the result of the Maine election, and we are sure that the democrats are. Queer things happen in political “off yearn,” but nothing that could be more productive of comfort to the democratic party has occurred In Maine for a good \ many years.—Rochester Herald. • ■

DEMOCRATS ARE BLAMED. Republic** lBge««Ur t* Mimpre. actuation Pn4mm a S trams* Chars*.

A republican political genius has discovered that the democrats only are to blame for McKinley’s and Alger’s mismanagement of the war and the sufferings of our soldiers in the field. The ingenious gentleman who made this discovery is Hon. John A. T. Hull, a member of congress from Iowa and said to be chairman of the house committee on military affairs. Mr. Hull says that if a resolution which he offered in the house near the closing hours of the late session had been adopted there would have been a congressional committee on active duty all the time to prevent blunders by army pnd navy officers and to save the soldiers and sailors from distress through the errors of their commanding officers. A committee of congressmen would have forestalled every order issued through mistake and would have saved the army and navy from the consequences of every military or naval error occurring through incompetence, oversight, insufficiency of help and supplies and from all other causes. Congressman Hull alleges that near the last hours of the congressional session he offered the following: “That the house committee on military affairs has power to sit during the adjournment of congress and make such investigation as to organization and equipment of all branches of the army as it may deem advisable and report to the next session of congress.** This committee is that of which Mr. Hull is chairman. If he and his committee had been kept on duty no mismanagement of war affairs would have occurred! But the democrats in the house objected to the consideration of the resolution and it was too late in the session to pass a measure against objections from any source. Hence the democrats are responsible for the maladministration of the war department. ' » The country knows from familiar history the egregious absurdity of clothing a congressional committee with power to exercise supervision ever war movements. It was illustrated in the evil result* of the action of congressional war committees during the civil war. They embarrassed the administration of Abraham Lincoln and the measures of Grant in the field. If the democratic members of the house defeated a plan to send a republican congressional committee to the camps and the field for the oversight of anny movements they rendered to the country a service of the highest value.—Chicago Chronicle. ALGER IS BLUFFING* The Secretary of War Is Tryla* te Play Oae of His Sly Trlchs on the People.

From two newspaper sources in Washington the statement has been disseminated that Secretary Alger has placed his resignation in the hands of the president. The time when he did I this is stated to have been on the occasion of his calling at the white house just before setting out ca his camp inspection tour. It will be recalled that Gen. Miles, who has made incriminating statements against Alger and repeated them, returning from Puerto Kico entered Washington about that time. He came in one morning and Alger left hastily that, same day. Before leaving, it is now explained, he visited the president and gave him the famous letter asking for an investigation. Then it was that he is said to have placed his resignation in the presidential ear, for he delivered it orally. It haa taken the matter a long time to leak out. That it has finally seeped through the thick wall of secrecy creates the inference that Mr. McKinley is contemplating tbe acceptance of the resignation of his remarkable secretary of war and has taken this means to prepare the publio for the startling denouement. It would not be in keeping with Mr. Alger’s braggadocio vaunts, made when the storm raised by the “round robin** first rose against him, Mthat*he would not retire under fife,** if he were to quit the cabinet before a court of inquiry could pa» upon his responsibility. He probably deems it wisest to hold on to his jolj until that tribunal which is yet in the air has had a chance to do something. It may not gefcinto working order for a month yet; and it may not get down to the meat of the investigation before congress reassmhies. There is, too that hope of all republican officials, justified by the experience of their investigated predecessors in the past, still remaining to him. He may be whitewashed. Alger's resignation evidently has a string to it. He will not let go until the fall elections are over. The party’s necessity and his own political fortunes alike demand that he shall keep up his bluff for at least seven weeks longer.—St. Louis Bepublio. -Imperialism and militarism necessarily go hand in hand. The latter is the natural outgrowth of the former. The recent movement in favor of an imperial policy for the United States, chiefly noticeable in quarters where Mark Hanna is supreme, was supplemented shortly after Its inception by a demand for an immense standing army, not unlike the armies of Europe, “to guarantee peace at home and protect our new interests abroad.**—Columbus (O.) Press-Post. -While democrats have leaders like Bland, Bryan and Bailey, standing squarely and uncompromisingly for the principles of the decalogue and the declaration of independence, there is not money enough on earth to control America against the Chicago platform'M£:
