TAINTED PROSPERITY. The Rich Growing Richer and the Poor Poorer. TABTY IN POWEE RESPONSIBLE The People Must Combine to Over throw m Sntera That Gives to Pri vate Monoid y the Uenel! of Their Labor -H Honest Votera Should Join With the Democrats. The cost of everything we need keeps going higher and higher, nnd the av erage advance has now reached 47 per cunt. Only wnges renmiu compara tively unchanged. This menus that we ere all growing iKiorer and poorer If wc n'ly upon wages for n living and not upon the profits if stock jobbing or irivate nionopolies. For this conili- tion the party in power Is responsible, all the way from Kentucky to Geor- j ,u. bl,trll0u rtWl. slk.,sel ju iWbli.

MuUoU" limes prouiiceu oj us m.m-iun-u, um . elded, tainted prosperity, which is breeding uilllioihiires aud pauiHTS, ty rants and slaves, concentrated wealth end widespread iwverty. The times are ripe either for honest reform led by men of genuine democratic princi ples or else for revolution led by C'atl lines and Caesars. The indictment of a few Burtons and Mitchells, a few Gil lettes and l'erkinses, nnd the like will not suffice. The people must nnd will overthrow a system which gives to private monopolies the benefits of their lubor. If Democracy is too weak to re sist the powers that have grown up by reason of Republican policies, then so cialism, springing from those snme policies, will rise up and confiscate all wealth for the government If you be lieve In the right of private property and personal freedom, Join with the Democrats in bringing about the need ed reforms. When men say let well enough alone; when they say stand pat; when they ay that the prosperity of the country Is safe only under Republican rule, re member that the policy of inactivity is the policy of the Bourbons, the policy of grafters. It is negative graft The great Interests adverse to the people are no longer demanding legislation. They have their lands, their charters, their franchises, their well nigh uncon trolled possession of regulation of the rates for the services which they ren der. They are asking nothing except to be let alone. The result is that we have legisla tive assemblies city, state and nation alin which men,who in ancient times would have poisoned wells or defiled temples are engaged ostensibly In pass ing laws for the communities which they represent. Nothing would please the beef pack ers, the railroad rebaters, the bank wreckers, the insurance thieves, the land grabbers, the postofflce robbers, the coal barons and steel barons better 'than to be let almie. The author of the slogan stand pat was the worst- cor ruptlonlst of modern times, nnd his tri umph in polities wns due to lack of that vigilance and jealousy of popular rights which are the price of liberty and peace. Iown with the stand patters! j xney are tne pestilential nrooti or adul terated prosperity, of abnormal, one elded prosjxrlty. which is Inconsistent with the general 'lfare of the coun try. 'To your tents, O Israel! Look to thine house, David!" Apathy now means moral degeneracy and political suicide. It is only the enemy of the people who preaches apathy. EXPENSE OF GOVERNMENT. Federal Taxation Over Thirty-three Dollars Per Taxpayer. The appropriation of $S80,1S3.301 for the expenses of the government until June 30, l'J"7, whereas the estimated income is only ?781.0C0,000, shows that It is the policy of the Koosevelt party to prevent tariff reform by making it Impossible to reduce taxation. If we divide the number of dollars appro priated by the number of people In the country say S0.O(N),00O we find that we must pay, ?11.02Va apiece, suppos ing nil to pay taxes. But as the pay ing must be done by nbout one-third of the people each taxpayer will on the average have to put up about $33.07. Aud he must not pay on what property he owns, but on what be con semes. The poor and the rich are put on terms of equality In paying, as they are In the case of a poll tax. by means of the tariff. It is practically a poll tax of $33 a head on the laborers and millionaires alike. Suppose in levying state, county or municipal taxes the same rule was ap plied and that the man who owned ten or twenty o one hundred or one thou sand million dollars' worth of prop erty should be required to pay no more than the man who owned not even his own home and was obliged to support his family on his meager wages? How long would It take the voters to learn that such a .was an outrageous iscrimineOea la. laxoi at the rlcff against the poor asai Ihmt wry argu ment In support of emb m anjiist and dishonest system was only a sugar coated fallacy a He and a cheat? Time was when the labor anions of the country, and ; especially the great Amalgamated Association of Iryn and Steel Woriters, were used as catapaws to propagate the Insidious lie that for eigners paid these high federal tariff taxes. Bat at Homestead In 1892 they learned better. "Protection for the Frlcks and Carnegles, but Plnkertons "for the workers," was the cry they raised then. The Amalgamated was ' destroyed fcy the very system It had been organised to promote. Other la bor organizations are now beginning to raise a similar cry. They have learned that "protection" means poverty and Plnkertons for the poor. SOUTHERN ! Washington's Brilliant Correspondent Discusses the Recent Visit of Secretary Taft. By Savoyard.

There was an issue out of chancery submitted toajary, nnd the common-law rule then maiu'.aiueJ in Kentucky that a party to a law suit was not a competent witness in his own behalf, but he could be put on the stand and interrogated by the opposing counsel. Lanibrith had an v excellent case that appealed strongly to a sense of justice, but no proof to sustain it, so he put Mot ley on the staud aud Motley, the witness, deposed swiftly aud effect ively for Motley, the party, with the result that the verdict of the jury and the judgment of the bench were very disastrous to Capt. John Lam brith, who immediately walked out of the courthouse and extended the invitation: "Come out here, Motley; come out here; I want to tell you how mean you are" an invitation which Mr. Motley did not accept for Mr. Motley was a man of pi u dence as well as a man of cunning, and had the shrewdness to know that however safe it was to contend with Captain Lambrith in a law suit, it was a very different matter to "jjoa projeciu' " with Captain Lam brith in aright, aud it was then aud '.here manifest that the Captain was in a fighting mood and he was always in fighting trim. Secretary Taft has been down South, and if I understand his mis sion it was to tell the Southern Re publicans how mean they are. At any rate, that is what he did. He said they were a bread-and-butier brigade, and that they would never be worth the devil's bringing until they ceased to bille themselves ou the United States blue book. Mr. Taft seems to have forgotten that a place in that same blue book is the highest ambition of the average Southern Republican, and if there were U(J i)ue b0ok here iu Washing- tou, there would be uo Republican partv down South. There has never been a real Re publican party at the South, though there are some capable and excel lent gentlemen in that section who hold to the Republican creed. A party must savor of the soil; it must have sympathy; it must have sentiment; it'mnst have principle; it must have faith. Whatever the Re publicau party may be at the North, it has none of those elements at the South. Except the eight years Mr. Cleveland was President, the South has been nothing politically but so many satrapies. They are satrapies now of the meanest kind iu aTl that region between the Potomac aud the Rio Grande. If there is any patriotic sentiment down there asso ciated with this great big govern ment at Washington, it is in spite of the Republicaa paity; for if all the cunning of the devils had beeu in voked to devise a scheme to crush out all love at the South for the na tional establishment, uo improve ment could have been made ou the plan of the "Republican Southern policy," and Mr. Roosevelt's is the worst of all of them. It is intoler able. He would patronize the South. If Mr. Liucoln had lived the South would have beeu rehabili tated. Upon his death the South was reconstructed. It was as im possible as it was infamous that reconBfcructiou as vain as it was atrocious. Thaddeus Stevens, Chas. Sumner, Ben Wade, Zach Chandler, Ben Butler, John A. Logan, Henry Wilson, and the other Republican leaders are great names in our polit ical history, and yet as statesmen they were the most hopeless blun derers of all history. Their system was very simple the negro should be set to govern the Southern States, and turn their votes in the electoral college and their Senators and. Rep resentatives in Congress over to the Republican party. Of course it took the army to sustain that vile ness, and in many of the Southern States the white people seized con trol in spite of the army. As long as there are men and women at the Sonth who remember carpetbaggery and negro domination, upheld by bayonets, there will be no real Re- publican party at the South, and REPUBLICANS wilt purine its old trade of harvesting u crop of i:ng iu lSTti. It contracted to Sher man iu 18sH., but thong!: it got the ! price, the goods weie short. It Was tor Arthur in 1881 "th ox know-; eth his owner aud the ass his nyia- j ter's crib."' It was unfortunate in ' 1SSS, and iu 18HG it was for Mark HaiiLti up to the haudle aud deli v- ered the goods. i The South has no more iuteutaou of turning Republicnu thau it has! uf turning pagau. Aud why should j it? There is uothiug Southern mj the Repubhcau partv, uuthiug ina-i tioual in it. It was born a Nortaeru and sectional party. As such it has lived, as such it will die. 1 It is as iguoraut of Irue conditions at the South as it is big oted iu its estimate of tkiugs dawn there. It appoints satraps to select postmasters all over the South aud, in fact, so far as the Federal estab lishment is concerned, there is no such thing as home rule at the South. 1 hold that the worst sort of administration by the peopleiis to be preferred to the beat sort of ad ministration by satraps, just as gov ernment by consent is always better than government by force. That Iudiauola postoffice mess aud '.the Crum case at Charleston wer hu miliation heaped on those peoples that the President would uot k'ive dared to practice ou a community iu Maine or Ohio. j Secretary Taft has great hopjs of the tariff aud talks us though he hopes the South will turn Repibli cau for the protection it gets from the Diugley bill. I have beeu hear iug that for thirty years that he isouth would some day trade its' principles for pottage. One diffi culty about Mr. Taft's invitation is that the pottage is lacking. The chief industry of the South is grow ing cottoa the price of which is fixed iu the free-trade market of Liverpool that is, the South that sells; but the South that buys must make its purchases iu the mon strously protected American market. Cotton is on the free list. I know chaj: raw cotton cannot be material ly protected by a tariff, but a duty ou cottou would afford that product more protection than a duty on corn would afford that staple, and there is a duty ou com. Why? Because the meu who grow corn are mainly Republicaus, while the men who grow cotton miu:ige to return Democratic majorities. Cottou ties that the cotton grower must buy, are enormously protected. Binding twine that the heat grower must buy is free. The wheat States vote Republican; the cotton States vote Democratic. Would it not be well enough for Mi. Taft to overhaul the tariff before he swaps it for the ftouth's politics. Mr. Taft may be the next Presi dent, and whether he is or not, the South would be mightily pleased to see the tariff the issue. Whatever oue may think of Mr. William Jen nings Bryau's views ou finance, there is uo question that ou taxation he is superlatively Demociatic, in line with perhaps a little in ad vance of tnose who hold with Mor rison, Carlisle, and Mills on that issue. It was iu tariff discussions that Mr. Bryan earned the title of "Boy Orator. It was a fervid ora tion'in behalf of Springer's "pop' gun" wool bill that first introduced Mr. Bryan to the nation. No one who was there will ever forget how he swept Congress off its feet ou that occasion. Perhaps it was un fortunate that Mr. Bryan permitted them to rub out the word "onlj" in the tariff plank in 1896, but that platform was made for senator lei ler and his squad. I don't know wherein Bryan and Roosevelt differ unless it is about the tariff, though it is possible that if Mr. Bryan is elected Presi dent in 1908 he will restore to its for mer place in departmental adminis tration the lowest bid. Mr. Roose velt has not entirely abolished the lowest bid, 'tis true, but he has pret ty badly crippled it, and Tery great ly discouraged it. He was a-chasing of an octopus, too, at that very lden- tical moment, and had the thing cor S .Imp v. 1 nff. .., a ,ud f ... ei.pt? Ill n .it upon '..). ,:. t'.. 'J ml.
