STANDARD OIL SLIME OVER ALL
r
OUR PROSPERITY WIZARD
EVEN Mr. Taft has become timid
as to the effect of Mr. Bryan,
and Is telling his audiences of
his affright lest prosperity be
checked. The clearing house cer
tificates, the Idle' cars, the unem
ployed workingmen, the closed fac
tories are 'memories of that grand
wave of prosperity t.taat was ours
with Mr. Taft and his chief piloting
the country, i These things ought to
cause us to be thankful that in Wll
' liam H. Taft we have the real and
only dispenser of prosperity, and that
we have from his own lips that he
and not the Almighty, the seasons
and the soil, are to be trusted for
material blessings.
We ought to have known all along
without waiting for his assurance
that Mr. Taft was the man, and that
the day after his election, It elected
all the mills, mines and factories
would resume operation, and all the
million or so of men now . idle, would
be set ' toi work at high wages. In
deed,, prosperity should be shed to
the four corners of the earth if the
benighted : everywhere will oijly
i watch Mr. Taft perform and copy
his performance. They will see him
revising the tariff by raising some
- Schedules so that all the trusts will
make more money, while at the same
time ail owners of trust articles will
get them at reduced, prices. They
will see him . make the currency so
elastic that no matter what a man's
Income is, lie can stretch it to make
both ends meet. They will see him
encourage good trusts, and punish
bad ones by scolding them until they
become ashamed and reduce prices to
consumers. They will see him build
up our merchant marine with sub
sidies to rich ship owners, but collect
the money from the people in such a
way that their taxes will be lowered.
It takes a wizard to do all these
things, but as a fountain of pros
terity, Mr. Taft Is the Grand Pan
jandrum.
HE Art-hbold letters read by Mr
Hearst to New York last bt
urday evening are tne most im
portant, and deserve the most
attention, of any that he has made
publlo during the campaign. They
show beyond question that Standard
Oil not only owned members of con
gress, and of legislatures, and ex
ecutive officers, but also through ap
pointment by one of.ifr guberna
torial tools, secured Judges of courts
devoted to Its interests. The feeble
defense offered by those implicated
carries conviction to no unbiased
mind.
People generally knew that Stand
ard Oil 'and allied trusts, coruora
Ions and Interest had a strong hold
on and control over the legislative
department of government, but they
have been' loth to believe that the
courts were subservient to these In
terests though many decisions have
indicated that such (was the case,
But here are two cases in which Mr,
Archbold of Standard rOil practically
appointed Important Judges, who are
on the bench yet, and he uid not dis
guise to Governor Stone the fact
that they were to be appointed to
perve Standard Oil to decide In its
favor as against the people. Stone
was a notorious tool of the predatory
and plundering trusts while in con
greeB, and was chosen governor, at
the order jQf he late Boss Quay; but
ow many similar governors nave
there been In .northern states during
the past 20 years? And how many
judges were nominated at conven
tlons through like Influences? No
one can tell. It Is a serious, a ter
rible thing to contemplate, that our
courts, even a few of them, are thus
corrupted by this and other monster
robbers of the people.
In this connection It Is tlraejy to
observe that for the past 12 years,
at least, naturally, these corrupted
officials, these traitors to the people,
these Judases, have been identified
with the Republican party. There
are two reasons for this; first, that
party waa in power in all depart
ments of the government and In
nearly all northern states, so It was
the one for the predacious plutocrats
to deal with; and second, that party
has maintained as its leading "prin
ciple" one that unjustly and ln
lquitously robs the many for the
benefit, the enrichment of the few,
The protected Interests dictate the
tariff laws la their Interest; why
should they not go a step further In
the same direction and dictate the
administration of executives and the
decisions of courts? Indeed they
have done so, to some extent, as

Mr. Hearst produced some eye-open
Ing evidence last Saturday evening.
It goes without saying that the
mass of Republicans are Just as hon
est and worthy as those of any other
party, but the point is that too many
of the leaders and office-holders of
that party, long In power, have be
come corrupted, have become allies,
servants, tools of Standard Oil and
the trusts and great corporations and
financial Interests, to the people's Teddy?

part as follows: "If you think there
is nothing special I should be in

I could give aid, why, of course, give
up the visit for the time being, and
then, a few weeks hence, before
write my message, I shall get you to

letter.
THE CAUSE OF THE PANIC
M
FORAKER AND ALDRICH
w HY have Roosevelt and Taft
' In ostracised Foraker, and not
VV Aldrlch? Foraker took fees
from Standard Oil, years
ago, and through Hearst It became
- known. Roosevelt and Taft knew!
all about Foraker, and never went j
back on him until Hearst read the
Archbold letters; then they dropped
him. But Foraker Is a saint beside
Aldrlch. He is an outspoken, fairly
honest man. He never pretended to
be a reformer of the Roosevelt type.
Neither, indeed, has Aldrlch, but
where Foraker pocketed a few thou
sands, Aldrlch makes millions. But
Roosevelt and Taft have no objec
tion to Aldrlch. If he were now a
candidate for reelection Roosevelt
would support him, as against the
beet Democrat ln the midget state.
. This can be asserted ln view of
Rooeevelt's support of Hopkins, and
Lortmer ln Illinois, Long ln Kansas,
and various men worse tarred than
Foraker is. What sort of con
sistency la thla? Aldrlch Is a Stand

aaows It. He la the leader of the

control legislation there. He Is
worse than half a dozen Foraker. i

are utterly Insincere with respect to

Co(.;i political hypocrisy go any far-
Rj TAFT says last year's panlo
was caused by too much
growth and expansion. A lo
cal paper ventures a little far
ther and says it was caused by too
much prosperity. What bosh this Js.
The panic was caused by a small
group of , high-finance kings, chief
among whom were J. P. Morgan and
J. D. Rockefeller, for the purpose of
breaking some fellows who aspired
to financial rivalry, and for the fur
ther and principal purpose of mak
ing a good many millions of dollars,
which they did.
Helnze happened to be the key-log
in the situation; when these great
patriots succeeded in dislodging
him, the flood was out. He, and
Morse, and others no doubt deserved
to be broken; they were doing a sort
of business that If not entirely ille
gitimate, was scarcely better than
highway robbery; but Morgan and
Rockefeller are In substantially the
same sort of business tnemseives.
The difference is that the latter do a
perfectly safe business for them
selves. They have tens of millions
at command at any time. They have
piled up such colossal fortunes out of
the labor and products of the coun
try that they can conduct their busi
ness in a "sane and safe" manner.
The members of this group are all-
powerful ln financial circles not only
on account of the prodigious amount
of money that they can bring Into i
use any day, but because they are
constantly ln close alliance with the
federal government. The secretary
of the treasury is their humble and
obedient servant on every occasion.
Mr. Cortelyou Is only a clerk for Mr.
Morgan, who is the real secretary of
the treasury, and he runs it in the
interest of J. P. Morgan & Co. The
president obeys his every sugges
tion.
Morgan ft Co. made money In two j
ways by bringing on the panic. They
picked up propertls of Immense
value for comparatively little cash
We showed Saturday how In one in-
ttanre tbr got property worth $1,-
ooo. 900. 000 for $45,000,000. They
broke up a lot of competitors and
would-be rivals. They acooped in
millions from all sides. Then the
tanlc bavins; been brought Into full
suing, Mr. Morgan ordered Mr. Cor
telyou to authorize a mtbod of re
Ifovlng the country by which Morgan
i Co. mad eeveral milliecs more,
and relieved an body.
This In brief la the history of the
supposed. Of course Morgan & Co.
are for him. They could well afford
to contribute several millions to his
campaign fund, if that would insure
his election.

ANOTHER "FOOL.
FAMILY"
IX THE
A'
CORRESPONDENT of the
morning paper who gets his
political ideas in Wall street,
writes: " 'Fool Kansas' that
has been buncoed by Bryan's bank
deposit guarantee idea, is still caus
ing alarm at Republican head
quarters." '
Kansas, or any other state, can
well afford to be considered a "fool"
state by Wall street, for what Wall
street means is that Kansas Is tak
Ing means to get out of Wall street's
grip to some extent. Kansas means
to have no more panics, started by
the financial giants of Wall street.
Whenever a state does anything to
become more independent of the
trusts, the financial pirates, and the
political bosses who are their tools,
it is called a "fool" state by the or
gans. Oregon, it will be remembered,
has been characterized by the Port
land trust organ as "the fool of the
family," because it took measures to
take power away from selfish, un
scrupulous and unworthy political
bosses and non-representative legis
latures and gave it to the people,
where it belongs. So now Kansas,
whose people propose that deposits
In banks shall be secure, and that
panics on account of bank wrecking
shall cease, is, another "fool" state.
Within a few years there are like
ly to be a good many of these "fool"
states, to the great disgust of Wall
street and the organs of the trusts
and predatory Interests.
