THURSDAZ. SEPTEMBER?, 1899.
gar- To Our Patrons, -jrf
We desire to say to our mauy subicri
bers that our Mr. Morris, the traveling
representative of The E .'ON’OMisT will
start out next week to see you all and
collect the amount duo for subscription.
We know it will be a pleasure to you
til to pay up back dues and to pay for
another year in advance if you have any
loose change abont the house, for you
tre all friends and want to see The
Economist prosper. Look out for Mr.
Morris and leave the amout at home if
you have to be away any. We think that
jon feel enough interest in the success
of the paper not to forget this appeal
tnd will say no more.
Now is the time to read and think
some.
Some men are so narrow between the
eyes they imagine every other man as
big a fool as they a r e.
The man who will read and think
some for himself will soon have his
syes opened by reading reform liter a-
Uro.
Kvory man should be willing to sup
port that party that is working for
the greatest good to the greatest num
ber.
You will find little of the political gos
pel of salvation from ruin and poverty
liy reading the old party papers. They
•re afraid for the people to know what
they ought to know.
The man who is afraid to advocate
what he believes is right for fear he will
.antagonize some other man who is op
posed to right is a weak brother and
worth little to the world.
Kvery man who loves jusioe is auxiou
tar awaiting to hear that Dreyfus has
been acquitted. The civil zid world is
thoroughly convinced that he is inno
cent and ought to be a free man.
There are a lot of LITTLE men in the
world who have uot sense enough to
realize it. They are so little that they
can uot treat an opoueut with different
political views to those they entertain
with respect. Such men are the most
contemptible ours we cau imagine.
To keep the democratic party in power
m Georgia, meu have been promoted to
positions of prominence and elected to
ill offices of trust who would not reoog*
•ire the difference between the Lords
prayer and “Now I lay me down to
deep.” But ou account of certain in
fluences they could wield for the party,
•ntiroly foreign to good morals, intelli
gence and the advancement of politios
on a higher plane, they have been made
representative meu of a party that ar
legates to itself the refinement and in
tslligenoo of the state. It is enough to
make any one, but a little editor who
had been to college, blush with shame.
flie speculators are beginning to talk
burger cotton reoeipts np to date than
ever before. They know how to get
the farmers ootton for less than it oost
the fanners to make it, and the politi
dans iu the old parties know just how
to get a lot of farmers to stick to the
■ld parties and live iu rags and poverty
•sd sell their ootton at less than the
cost of production. They can aotually
■take these farmeis believe that the su
premacy of the democratic and repabli
mm parties is worth more to them than
gaod prioes for their produoe and pros,
petity and happiness for themselves and
their wives and children.
A Dark Picture
Ingnatius Donnelly in Representative.
The New York Verdict is a remarka
ble paper. It is published by million
aires, aparently in the interest of Popu
lism. Whatever the motive behind it,
it is a strong journal, and tells an awful
lot of truth.
Here is one of its recent articles:
What does a glance bestow by way of
picture? It is black, black, black with a
prurient Republicanism. Money is above
Merit and the Dollar more important
than the Man. Corruption and .Snob
bishness are in conjunction. And they
set the fashion. Slowly yet surely
Money is shifting our theories, whether
of busiues", society or state. It is dig
ging at the base of every American
thing One sees it in a White House,
pawned and pledged to a llanna head
id syndicate who “loaned” on it. One
notes it with the Doanes and the Rains
fords in the pulpit; or hoars it pipingly
from EOtue University, as some “Pro
fessor” says his slight and narrow pray
ers and burns to it the musty incense
of his alcoved flattery. Money is King,
and Labor is cupbmrer. Money is
mounted and rides down Labor as it
plods. What is a review of the past
three years at Washington, save a re
view of Money? McKinley in the White
House—by Money. Tweuty millions
paid to Spain—for Money; and to profit
Spanish bondholders. Three millions
paid to Cuba—for Money; and to be
subsequently sopped up by invading
American corporations who suggested
and urged its payment. A war in
the Orient; a war all blood and un-
Americanism, waged—for Money, and
to make fat a list of contractors. A
plot to disgrace an Admiral —lor Mon
ey. A conspiracy to degrade a Geuer
al —for Money. There isn’t one act o!
Goverr ment that fails to find its last
foot on Money. Mauhood is nothiug;
Dollars go for aIL Whether it bo Ab
ner McKinley as a spoctacle diving into
contracts; or Oberlin Carter, convicted,
sentenced and dismissed from army still
wearing his uniform and still drawing
his pay, it’s—for Money, As late as a
century ago died Washington. He was
worth $650,000; the richest man in the
land. As this century closes we have
such as Rockefeller, of a fortune to
equal $1500,000,000. Also we have half
a million tramps. And wherefore no,
when Money doesn’t leave these tramps
a destiny worth working out? Coal
miners S2OO a year; Lake sailors $25 a
month for eight months? Why, man !
it’s a premium on mendicancy; your
beggar would find as much in his palm
at the eud of a twelve month! He
would be a lax, poor tramp, indeed, who,
on heuroost and hillside, with crops
and harvest all about, couldn’t match
S2OO a year! He’d find as much in the
road But for that great body of us
it's unpleasant; we, who are neither
Trusts nor Tramps. And we should go
about its remedy, even though it en
gaged an axe. Abe Lincoln saw this
riegn of Money coming, and here’s
what in 1861, he said:
“Mouorachy itself is sometimes hint
ed at as a possible refuge from the pow
er of the people. In my present posi
ticn I could scarcely be justified were I
to omit raisiug a warning voice against
this aoproach of returning despotism.
It is not needed or fitting here that a
general argument should be made in
favor of popular institutions, but there
is one point with its connection not so
hackneyed as most others to u hich I
ask a brief attention. It is to the effort
to place capital ou an equal footing
with, if not above, labor in the struct
ure of the government. It is assumed
that labor is available only in connec
tion with capital, but nobody labors un
lew somebody else owning capital some
how, by the use of it, induces him to
labor. Labor is prior to and independ
ent of capital. Capital is only the fruit
of labor aud could never have existed
if labor had not first existed. Labor is
superior to capital and deserves much
the higher consideration." That's what
Lincoln told the people. Were he here
today he’d see that his fear was real
ized. As companion piece let the Ver
diot quote from an editor who con
versed with this paper the other day.
This editor—and he’s of national cele
bration-told of a visit he paid Cleve
land while that person—whose rule was
worse than revolution and the frnit of
whose iniquities of government will be
eaten for two centuries to come—was in
the White House. The editor had just
oome in from St. Louis. What follows
will be in the editor’s exact words:
“We were in Cleveland’s private
room. He drew the whisky bottle to
wards him and poured oat half a tum
blerful. 'What are they saying of me in
! Missouri?’ asked Cleveland. ‘Well,’ I
[replied 'they are finding a good deal of
fault with you for appointing Priest to
the United States bench. Personally
they don’t find so much fault with
Priest. But he’s a dyed-in-the-wool cor
poration lawyer at and has for years been
the attorney of the Missouri Pacific
road. They don’t like it. And, be
sides, they cau’t understand your meth
ods. You named Priest at the sugges
tion of ex-Gov. Dave Francis and never
consulted with Cockrell or Vest, the
two senators. Mauy of them are dis
turbed abont this last. They think you
should discuss these matters with Vest
and Cockrell, rather than with Francis,
whe holds no office and is bearing no
pullic responsibilities, ’ I concluded. ‘Oh?
they find fault do they!’ responded
Cleveland, throwing off his whisky with
one jerk, like the oomedian in the
‘Black Sheep,’ they find fault, eh! Do
you kuow one thing? Do you know
that Cockrell, for instance, insir’t worth
a dollar, even if he is a senator, an I
that Dave Francis is worth two mill
ion e? Do you know that?” I said I
did. ‘Then,’ went ou Cleveland,
whacking the table so as to start the
bottle and the glasses into a jump of
two inches, ‘l’ll tell you another thing.
A man who, like Dave Francis, is worth
$2,000,000, is just two million times as
much interested in the welfare of this
government as a man like Cockrell, who
isn’t worth sl, and should be listened to
by a president just two million times as
n uch ’ ” Aud as it was in the day of
Cleveland, so it is in that of McKinley!
Money is listened to and nothing but
money. And manhood—mere man—is
as feathers to anvils compared thereun
to.
This is strong stuff, but it is true every
word of it. The West, and not the
Central West, but the West (the North
west and the Southwest), alone keep
the country near the standard of 1716
The East is rotten —dead and stinking
It is a land of banks and corporations;
and man is bowed and snrinking and
speechless.
It is Europe over again.

Deering Ideal Mowers
With Rubber and Ball Bearing.
..
Deerng Roller BearingMoiral l-?4sftcl,
A round of startling victories has marked the path of the Deeriug
Ideal Mower. No grass is too heavy or two light; no land is too rough
and no surface is too severe for this plucky little hero. Instead of fric
tion bearing it has trolleys and balls; the crank shafts parralel with the
ground so that the Self Adjusting Pitman moves steadily back and
forth in workman like fashion. The serrated lodger plates hold the
grass like the roller of a feed cutter, and nothing can escape or draw in
under the sickle. The adjustable drag bar pays the interest ou the
investment The driver of the Ideal Mower can cut as slow as he likes,
and is never necessary to back when starting the machine. The use
of the roller and ball bearings has eliminated friction, and instead of
grinding the bearings, all the pow< r is used in cutting the grass.
Don’t waste your time and money by using old out of date machines,
but buy the Deering Roller Bearing Ideal Mower,
Send for a catalogue. For sale by

Every man is an expansionist—wants
to expand his own opportunities here
or in any other old place.
In a murder case when the jury
hangs it is pretty good evidence that
the defend int should also hang.
There is more principle in one little
shiny scale of a snake than there is in
the whole body of a gossip.
Any fool can pray and then say that
God inspired him (or her) to do the
meanest thing in the calendar of crimes.
Has it ever occurred to our good
church members that people who live
in arid districts don’t pray for rain.
They irrigate.
Some women are so constituted that if
they can’t find something to worry
about they will worry beoeuse they oau’t
find something to worry about.
A trust is a good thing—for the fel
lows who own it All agree to that.
Then why not the people own them?
Now go into yonr conniption fit.
