PLATE MATTER IN POLITICS.
; What is known in printing
offices as plate matter is t k'nd
of stereo-type or plate oast from
a plaster of papier maobe mould,
on which is a facsimile of the
page of type as set np by the
printer and which when fasten
ed to a bloek .' may be used
under the press ' exactly a;
movable type.
This devise enables large
printing establishments in - the
East to prepare and lend out to
country newspapers, . cheaper
than they can set it in their
offices by band, large quantities
of matter, inclnding ' stories,
articles on science, lecturers and
speeches. , Politicians , and
oampaign committees were cot
slow to take advantage of this
device, which enabled them to
supply country offices with such
matter and cartoons which they
wished to give' wide publioity
to ..
Our readers well remember
seeidg the the same matter and
o rtoons in numerous countrv
papers ' during the last two
presidential canvasses in Demo
cratic papers, wherein the trusts
and plutocrats, corporation?,
"Lords of the Looms," coal
mine nebobs, "Land Grabbers,"
and Wall Street were soundly
abused, and without stient, by
the word matter, and held np to
ridicule, contempt and hatred
by the hiddeous cartoons.
The plate matter containing
all such matter that did service
for 2 campaigns and was read
with suoh delight by tbe Demo
crats for eight years must now
be laid aside. Such matter is
not good democratic reading in
1901. Democratic editors must
now touch gingerly on trusts,
corporations. Railroad mag
nates and Wall Street, . because
August Balmont a big chief of
Wall Street dominated the late
Democratic convention, selected
its candidates stimulated its hope
of success by giving it assurauce
that by setting down on Bryan,
Wall Street would contiibuie
generously to the Democratic
campaign fund, and the conven
tion did sit down upon Bryan
with an unfeeling lunge, and as
the shout rose for Parker the
hopes of a big contribution from
Wall Street increased and grew
to an assurance that the Demo
crats would have the largest
campaign fund it ever bad to
muke a presidential fight with .
As tbe Democrats most un
mercifully set down on its most
popular member to please Wail
Street and secure a big campaign
fuud it is reasonable to asutne
that all the old plot matter detio
uncing Wall Street will be rele
gated to "innoxious disuilude.''
As the Democratic candidate
for vice president is a very rich
man, worth msny millions of
dollars; is the owner of several
railroads and contreliug spirit
in something like a dozen com
bines or trusts, has, some how,
becomes the owner of several
thousand acres of coal and tim
ber land, the old plates with
their drastio denunciations of
plutocrats, coal barons, railroad
tnagnetes, trust robbers, and
land grabbers, will hardly be
appropriate matter to induce
people to vote for the tickot on
whice he holds the second plaoe.
We have long been boasting
of tbe output of our gold and
stiver mines, and mitnv ill in
formed people imagine this to
bo the principal source of our
rational wealth. Yet the egg
