Mills U. Conner' Individual Liberty theCohe sive Power of True Ke-'.-'publican Government. By John D. Thome. The strength and seminal priu oipal of all true government lies in the unfettered individual con scieLce. -': No government has ever long remained prosper us and prc gressive without this basal ele ment, and it behooves usrmy countrymen, to pause and ponder upon the rapid decadence of true republican government and the swiftly ebbing liberties we once iujoyed under the "Magna Char ter ' of our e nl.y history. For f ar of the cry of pessimism be ing injected right here, I will give reason for the port ayai of my una! tractive, ihough truthful picture, my conclusion being reached from a strictly nor. -partisan standpoint. None of us art so untutored us to be ignorant of the fact that we occupy a great country, a domain !essed by Providence in all the exuberance of His kindness with every variety of soil, climate and production, and so expansive as to b able under just aud equable lav to shield aud render comforl able aud happy a ten-fold popula tion of its present existence; yet, under - the mercenary and vena: domination of the iniquitous few, I md the fostering spirit of concen trated capital, and tiriancial brig andage, ttie masses a re groaning under burdens &o oppressive that two dangerous aud antagonistic elements are iu evolution- factors of certain destructioa of. life, lib erty and pursuit of happiness the errors aud dogmatism of a combined plutocracy is forcing a socialistic element, either of which uutrameled; wih arvest, if not entirely subvert, the boasted civilization of this marvelous nineteenth century. So stealthily has this painful situation crept into our national life that a knowledge of its exis tence is the property only of the obs3rva it and thoughtful minor ity. It had its inception in our late foolish civii conflict, where tie spirit of speculation was so rife-, aud the inaanedesi.re to I'ide .rap idly into power was so strong thai it submerged ail patriotic impulse aud engendered an army of cor morant syndicates, who soar-o gautly controlled the productive capacity of honest labor, that a paiuful paralysis of effort ensued. Through its class legislation, a udorruptpu')lic life, inequalities ol fortune arejbeiug venally creat ¬ ed, an i all outside the limits of this venal ring have been left to gaze with amazement a' the fer -tility of our resources, and the rai idity with which its fruits are being garnered by the rapacious f e w. To illustrate the exteut of the porfidy, and tne high source a f fected by it, let us revert to a re cent session of Congress wherein a few patriotic spirits viewing with dismay the crippled state of our finances, zealously labored to provide .-.uliicient revenue for the existing need of the government aud saddle a large part of the tax ation where it justly belonged, u)Ou the wealth of the country, which the shyiocks fought da by day, with bitt r invective, an i as a deraiier resort fell" back up on the Supreme C'. urt the "lex supiema" of our systea., who to court the favoniau breezes of the autocratic Autocracy, unjustly reverse the righteous decree of Congress thereby increasing the burdens of the poor and so clog ging the machinery of the gov oruuient tnat further progress i a matter of painful apprehension So sensitive are the plutocratic forces of the country, that the cry of impeachment was recently raised ia Cougress, because of one of our Am t.assadors under lot tJ b!e u.nd pairiotic impure of his ..ature &r.v til , loaual ze, and for cibly ev; res uis viev s upon the etf -CL .. oich the deca j"encv of in dividual liberty ha I uj.ou.Ameii can jVroSj -erity, and tne advanc ing civilization of the age. it: is would not hive been so previous, had it not so fu.ily uu uj.tsiied the errors and irjj -tit-. of the protective jnitry ofo.i. sy&teai, a-..d t e ve-ahtj n;ig u uered ti.eiej . All Lo o to t . ; A iJciica . Chevalier for his bold defence of truth and equity, upon the hill tops of Scotland, and in the clas sic city of Edinburg. before the liberty loving Scotch these pri mal truths which wi'l live to the end of time in all bosoms who cherish justice and equality be fore the law in amazing contrast to the ignoble aod obscure indi vidual, coverting an unenviable notoriety and plutocratic fivor, that suggested the impeachment of one of the grandest characters in modern history -thereby illus- rating the degeneracy of the so called American statesman. It is a sad period of our repub iican system when freedom of ex pression is sought to be squelch ed; especially when it covers the ground work of truth and in the interest of the toiling millions, who should have some advocate, in their badly treated moribund condition. Had Mr. Bayard made the grand speech which he did, omit ting the scathing exposition of protection, aud its attendant evils no hue and cry would have been raised against him, but this pet measure of the plutocratic autoc racy must not be exposed, even by an A m bassador. It is painfully apparent to the student of American history, that our freedom is being fette:eci in the halis of our national legisla ture, especially so in its lower oranch, where, through the adroit finesse of its speaker, the will of the cham ber is being guid ed by his dictum he being 'per se' its force and expression its 'ipse facto'. Snould ever the chafferers suc ceed in their unholy crusade by fastening their pet policy of pro tection upon our national system, then adieu to freedom, prosperi ty and happjness of the masses the will of the few being the curse of the many. This ill- balanced policy has al ready destroyed our merchant marine, depleted our treasury, and invited fraud and corruption. Mr. Bayard very truthfully says, 'It La perverted taxation from its only true justification and function creating revenue for the support of the govern meutof the whole poople into au engine for the selfish and private profit of allied beneficiaries called trust.' Under its dictation, indi vidual enterprise and indepen deuce have been oppressed, enei gy and invention debilitated and discouraged, and politics placed on the low level of a mercenary scramble." A condition running parellei with an ignoble paragraph of ear ly Jewish history wherein the prophet, with righteous indigna tipu declared, that "Judgment had been turned away back, with J ustice standing away off; truth fallen in :he street; and Equity unable to enter." Dating our appreciable decad ence to those fateful years 1871-72 wherein two of U.e strongest pil lars in our financial fabric were torn asunder, the repeal of the in come tax (a most radical depart u re from rectitude and equity) and the equal untenable policy of demonetization of silver; a metal recognisable in the a3ons past as being a twin companion to its richer brotnergold, their mission of usefulness running in parallel lines, in the ratio of value, cne to the other, as the wisdom of its users decreed, subject to slight variatioDs, with the march of the asceuaing centuries. Its entire elimination or di vorcement was never achenae. or a dream, of our financial fath ers, but the venal pioauct of the one sided brain of our maladroit, up to uate Soioi-s. But for the unwisdom of those years' action., in Congress, our country would have been spared .no humiliation,- and lamentable speclable, of paying the role of uppiiant enterprise, and 'run niug to cover at the .ustance of every recurrent reserve depiction. Itisthe most imoualous and strangely para doxicai condition of affairs that fa jiiuctr. -v. iih the largest materi i resources, should be the wetf. t ia us ti'iau' ial r lal o .s d structive a. ii is. of iujwa- of the masses, aud . o' ti loi uer fiscal policy. Admittiug the premises as set forth, there can be but ooe con- rdusion: either, the imbecility, or j veraliiy of our fiscal and law-! making agencies. The interminable and ill advis ed scramble for the adjustment of j our metalic currency arises from the excessive cupidity of the few, j and th" uncompromis?ng hostility of sectional diversity. Let wisdom, patriotismand true statesmanahip, adjust the balance wheel, and matters will once more move smoothly in its orbit, as in the day - of our ante bellum history. As illustrative of the defective and venal legislature of our later days Salons, look at the immensi ty of our resources our product ive. annual capacity. , As estimated the crop of 1895 aggregated the stupendous amount of two billions of dollars, yet through speculation, sub sidies and unnecessary appropri ations, we are reduced to that strait the only propulsion given the wheeles of government is through the issuance of bonds, which fattens the plutocracy, pauperizes the masses, and saps the vitality of our system. Bond issuance is an indefensi ble, and untenai le policy under any republican systen of govern ment admissible only in time of warasa military necessity, and salvation of the republic. - The last year of our bond man agement had well nigh engulfed the country, and but the patriotic zeal manifested by our leading newspapers, and the searching investigation analysing menanu measure, and throwing the calci um light in every crevice, to ex pose the pervading rottenness, the coils of the anaconda wou'd be past unfolding. Disguise'tas they may, under the mask of philanthropy, public necessity or patriotic purpose, it is clearly apparent to the well in formed that the major part of the appropriation are made in for the interest of the party urging the appropriation, and even our mar velous fusion growth is but the outcome of politics and engend ;r ed in the interest of the party catching the soldier vote so solicitous are both parties for this advantage the v have allowed the pension system to be so ex. panded that it takes nearly one half of the annual re venue of the country to satisfy them. What excellent marksmen those ill fed and badly armed rebels must have been to kill and maim two thirds of the Federal army. The honest deserving pension ers should be provided for; but it is sheer lunacy to assume, that the larger, and better equipped army, should lose uvc r one half of its forces, through the meagre facilities possessed by its weaker adversary. But there is no appelate court to which it may be referred, and so long as there is money in it to the congressional shyiocks, the tax payers must submit to his unhappy environment. This invasion of persona! liner ty, which is truly . subvei sirg the interest of enemie- i f true gov erument, begins in tne primary, enlarged at the ballot box, and consummated in Stateaud Nation al concave. A mercenary scram ble from the primate, to the lex superma' of our system- The past freedom of the indi vidual has brought Our couutry to its present high standpoint its waning liberties like the uu fortunate Roman may be even more rptd in its declension than in its ascendant. 'Facilis averno descensus.' - Dry as it is, permit me to glance a few statistics. . It is the estimate that the ag gregate real and perishable intei est of the United States is sixl) dve biilions of dollars, that in th past three decades we have squaudered one eighth of this stupondous amount in war debt. unnecessary apprapriations, pen sions subsidies, and venality, and although our gold, silver and copper, aud iron mines have een ielding handsomely, and Provi dence having blessed us with abundant harvests throughout tiis period, we still hud our Na ;ionat treasury at the mercy of the money sharks, whose combin cd strengta coald easily era i Absqiajteiy Makes the food more L ovALtAKiNQ our financial system. Allowing us only one half of the eight billions we have squan dered in thirty years, on what a majestic would our country now stand, bad it b(en judiciously appropriated. Our merchant marine would have covered every sea. our invincible frowning bat: tlement commanding the respect of alien systems, and our fleet of monitors, the envy and fear of British arrogance, we would be free from the insolence and ag gression, which the poverty of the situation so temptingly in vites. The Monroe doctrine is a cardi nal principle of our republic, and will be enforced at all hazards by every government on this conti nent, against the combined pow ers of Christendom, a feature which our president in his wis aorn and vigorous foreign policy, has recently enunciated, so that all sentiments run counter to it. may know ti e Gibraltar of our system. To perpeturte the privileges bequeathed us by our fathers, eai-h citizen of our country should labor with intelligent zeal for the promotion of her best interest, both in social, and civil life for the suppression of the venality which has furtively crept into our system; and lend aid and counte r:ance to all who labor on the lines of social, civil, and moral re formation thus only can individ ual liberty be preserved, and the assured inheritance of succeed ing generations. Another fatal raid is being made on individual freedom by unjust systems of taxation. No taxation is fair, and equable, un less levied on the idea that each one should be assessed in the pro portion of his holding. Under our system the burthen resthcavie .t upon these least able to bear it, but how cau we expect any im proverneut, so long as jobbers and chafferers are taking the place of statesmen? What chance does the great army of laborers have in the struggle of existence, wher the combined wealth of the country is allied with the law power, tode press prices and minimize the fruits of their labor? The natural 'alliance which should exist between capital and labor is becoming daily more di vergent,which will ultimately pro duce a war of element infinite, and bring to a shameful close the boasted progress of the nine teenth century. Great Britian has ever acted upon the assumption that whoso ever commands the sea com mands the trade: whosoever com inarms the trade of the world com mauds the riches of the world; and consequently, the world itself why have not we with our boast ed intelligence, infinite variety of re so u r ce s, m o re te n ac io u sly g ra s p ed this idea, and worked it out to a happy conclusion? With every advantage we have failed to em brace the situation, and been sad ly Lft in the rearguard of the werrid's race for naval suprema- T cy. . . . . Without a proper appreciation of the advaotages we enjoy, and a right application of them,to ex isting cii cum stances, we can not keep step with the progressive impro;emeut of other systems unless we allow the largest indi vidual libe- ty consistent with pup lie safety, enhancing as it will, that love of country, and zedlous interest in her welfarewhich wiil be to ail an element of great strength. It has been most truthfully af firmed, that the greatest bulwark of freedom is the doctrine of iim i tat ion upon human authority. (continued on 4th page ) "PERFEO" SCALES LAST FOREVER.

Some of the most dramatic episodes that have occurred in the halls of Congress during the iast thirty years are told in a series of papers which exSenator John J, Ingalls has written for The Saturday Evening Post of Philadelphia. The first paper of the series. entitled Famous Fieud in Con gress, which appears in the issue of June 24, gives an authentfc and vivid account of the scenes that led up to the lifelong enmity between Blaine and Conkling. and Conkling and Lamar. Other notable features of this number are: A Soldier's View of a Warless World, by Mjor Gen eral Nelson A. Miles, and the story of The Little House in the Little Street where the Sun Never Came by John Luther Long one of the strongest sto ries of this brilliant writer. Lo?t By Lightning Mr. F. J. Baker, of Pal my ri, lost his barn and stables by ligh ning last Friday night It struck about dark, and he was able to get all his mules and horses ou without loss.
