THE PEOPLE’S PILOT; RENSSELAEK, IMD., THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1896.

YIELDS TO JOHN BULL

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM AN UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER. Condemn, tbo Prrteot A<lministration — Hot Adopts a Platform Which Declares for • Continuance of the Pro,* out Infamous Financial Policy —Cowardice and Treason. The longest platform ever written — but the money plank is all that attracts any attention. Commences with tariff and endß with taffy for the women folks —but the main point is a gold standard. Slobbers over the old soldiers and weeps crocodile tears over, Cuba —but through it all the same song runs—“sound money.” Eulogizes the American flag and recommends a strtmg navy—but we must ask England’s consent to coin the silver that lies in our own beautiful mountains. Deplores the Armenian massacres and asserts its faith in the Monroe doctrine —but surrenders unconditionally to the financiers of Europe. Talks about a fr|e ballot —but nary free silver. Denounces sectionalism —but lets the eastern bankers write the pkmk in its platform upon which hangs tne destiny of the whole nation. Condemns the present administration —but adopts a platform which declares for a continuance of the monetary policy that caused the ship of state to be now stuck in the mud. About twenty planks for show —and one for a see-saw. Here it is: “The Republican party Is unreservedly for ‘sound money.’ It caused tho enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payment in 1870; since then every dollar' has been as good as gold. We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, opposed to the free coinage of silver except by international agreement, with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such an agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard must be supported. All our silver and paper currency now in circulation must be maintained at a parity with gold, and welavor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the obligations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth.” This is what drove the western men out of the party. This is what Wall street was willing to pay twenty million dollars to secure. Nobody cared what the tariff plank might be. The whole cowardly surrender of thp Republican party is embodied in this one plank—and on that the party will go down to destruction before the hosts of an aroused and intelligent patriotic people. No great party ever before in the history of the United States came out thus boldly to defy the wishes and best interests of the American people. The money power has spoken plainly through its treasonable tool, the Republican party. But the American people will not surrender their blood-bought liberties to the metal god of misery, crime and oppression. The doom of despotism is sealed — and that in its most defiant hour.

The People Are Asking and They Should Be Informed. When it was announced that the St. Louie convention had elected to the second place with McKinley, one Hobart, the public asked, “Who under the sun is Hobart?” * The Penny Press has made an investigation and ascertains that Mr. Hobart is a gentleman of many parts. Here are a few of said parts: He is President of the Passaic W’ater Company, of the Acquackanock Water Company, of the Morris County Railroad, and the Patterson Electric Railway Companies; a director of the New Yorfk, Susquehanna and Western, and the Lehigh and Hudson River railroad companies, of the First National Bank of Paterson, of the Paterson Savings institution, the Barbour Brothers’ Company,* the Pioneer Silk Company, the Peoples’ Gas Light Company, and the Paterson Electric Light‘Company. Mr. Hobart is also an attorney of many parts; that is to say, he is corporation counsel for the East Jersey Water Company, the West Milford Wa>ter Storage Company, the Montclair Water Company, and other allied interests of the big water syndicate. He is also a director in the Long Branch Water Company, and the Highland Water Company, Treasurer of the Cedar Lawn Cemetery Company, and several land companies, and holds the position of President and Director in a dozen other small corporations. Mr. Hobart belongs to the controlling board of a big railway pool. On Dec. 30 last he was selected one of three arbitrators by thirty railroad presidents, who represent the Joint Traffic Association. These arbitrators are to finally hear and settle aU .differences that arise among the members. The asseoiation represents fee greatest aggregation of railroad capital in the world. Mr. Hobart’s btuy aommercial life has been a successful one. He is said to be worth more than $1,000,000. It ia not .necessary to carry Mr. Hobart’s: career further. He has been incidentally * member of the National Republicans Committee for several years, and has been through the experience of “frying fat” oat of tho manufacturers, bankers and railways.

WHO IS HOBART?

she reason for his nomination is clear. He is to supply, either from bis own pocket or from the pockets of corporations with which he is connected, a large installment of campaign money for rhe purpose of corrupting American politics and defeating the will’ of the American people at the polls in November. He is to accomplish by purchase what was once by arms, to deliver' the country into the hands of its enemies.—Minneapolis Penny Press.

“As Good as Any Other Dollar.”

Major McKinley hss at last run upon an original idea on the money question. To the notification committee he said: “The dollar paid to tihe farmer, the wage earner and the pensioner must continue forever equal in purchasing and debt-paying power to the dollar paid to any government creditor.” That sounds pretty and profound, but what would have been the consternation in the gold-bug camp if the awllike McKinley had put It the other way and said that he believed in paying the government creditors in "coin,” as pensioners, farmers and wage earners are paid? That is one of the vital points. The Morgans, the Rothschilds and the rest of the shylocks owning bonds and Btocks against the government and against private corporations know only one kind of money, and that la gold, worth to-day, by reason qf the demonetization of silver, twice as much as the silver in which the workingmen and pensioners are paid. That’s what the row's all about. The free silver movement has as its chief motive the blending of the two metals into a standard of dollars that' will be uniform in value and interchangeable In coin or bullion. When this is accomplished, or when tihe entire metal money fallacy is wiped out and a scientific system established in its place, the dollar paid the workingman will be as good as that paid the bondholder. It Is not as good now, else the bondholders would not be demanding gold and the shylocks would not be bending all their energies toward maintaining the present system. Ordinarily McKinley is nothing if not obtuse and profoundly incomprehensible, but in this utterance he is ludicrous. It Is plain to be seen that he has not yet made up his mind which side of the question he Is on. —Sound Money.

Tariff Bankrupted McKinley.

We found the following going the rounds: Another gentleman, who ought to know, because he was hand In glove with the New York delegation, tells a good story about the platform and the ticket. He said: “Here’s another fact showing the pull the New York people had. The money plank In the platform was brought to the New York delegation for ratification. That plank was In the handwriting of H. H. Kohlsaat, editor of the Chicago Times-Herald, McKinley’s warmest and strongest friend in the west. Kohlsaat went down in bis pocket and paid $50,000 in cash to help McKinley out of his financial troubles several years ago. He is a politician as well as an editor, and was acting under instructions at St. Louis. Kohlsaat can have what he wants if McKinley gets there. His chances for the cabinet are bright, because he is an able man, and, never having held office, has no enemies. Chicago would be glad to see him honored, regardless of party.” McKinley’s tariff helped to swaimp McKinley, and then the millionaires paid his debts and put him on his feet. If he is elected they will own him—even to the clothes on his back.

The Real Meaning.

One or two slight changes in the republican financial plank make It read as follows: “We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to curtail the power of foreign money lords by improving the currency of our country. “We are, therefore, opposed to this cation, with its 70,000,000 of ‘free’ people, managing its own financial affairs without a permit from ‘the leading commercial nations of the world,’ under an ‘international agreement.’ “We unhesitatingly declare that our silver and paper currency must be maintained on an equality with gold, and the only way to do this is to destroy both, to the end that European shylocks may understand that we favor anything that* will maintain their opportunities and our national honor. “And, finally, whenever our masters will permit (by ‘international agreement’) we shall be ready to change our views ‘to maintain inviolably the obligation of the United States.’ ’’—Coming Nation.

A Modern Political Boom.

“You must have a good deal to worry you Just now,” said the presidential candidate’s friend. “I suppose you are bothered a good deal by interviews for opinions?” “Oh, no; nay press agent attends to that." “But the expense of the campaign is something pretty heavy?” "My financial backer attends to* the expenses.” “But you have lots of little details to think about —like getting the brass band to play 'Han to thl Chief at Just the proper point in the proceedings, and having the American flag hung Where you can point to it at an effective Junsture.” “No; the stage manager and property man attend to things.” “Well—excuse wotiid yon mind telling me where yon come in?" “I—oh, J Just do the running for ot•ce."—Washington Star.
