J.'iul, Editors Democrat : I have recently read an article in the Herald-Disseminator, in which I find the following statement : "We have labored and expect to contl.iue to labor, consistently conscientiously, and faithfully in the interests of the laboring and farming community of the country.for our interests are identical with theirs. Hut we are publishing a political newspaper and in that capacity it is our imperitive duty as well as privilege to discuss political issues." This statsment appears to have been made bv the Disseminator as a reply to some criticisms of its course on the tariff ques tion made by the Pacific Farmer. It does not appear in the article from which the above extract was taken just what the con tention between the two papers was, nor is that fact of anv consequence with reference to what I want to sav in this article. I do not object to the Disseminator being a po litical newspaper, nor do I deny the right or duty of its editor to discuss political issues. In fact there has been a very gen cral complaint among its readers that it has not discussed the real vital issues during this campaign. But what I want to more particularly say is this : For some years past the Disseminator and its friends have caused the impression to prevail through out this county that that paper was the or" gan of organized farming interests.and that it would devote its best energies to the pro motion of these interests in such a non partisan manner a6 to meet the hearty ap" proval of all farmers without regard to par ty. Under these circumstances, what has been its course .' So far as it has expressed an opinion during this campaign in regard to the issues of the tariff, that opinion has been every time adverse to the interests of the farmers. Every time it lias spoken.lts words have tended to strengthen the tm nopolicsof the country that do now hold and have for years held, the interests of the farmers and laboring men in th grasp. I have been a laborer and farmer all my life, and know something of the burdens which protected monopolies and "trusts" impose upon the laboring and farm ing classes. And while farmers are only common people, the Disseminator need not presume upon their entire ignorance of the various questions involved in the discussion of the tariff issue. Every intelligent farm er knows that it is a serious detriment to his interests to collect large sums of money amounting to eight or nine millions dollars everv month more than is needed to meet the expenses of the government, and then lock this money up in the treasury where no man can use it This makes mone scarce, an unwarranted contraction of th money of the people. Every sane farmer knows, that, as a class, seven out of every ten farmers are al ways in debt. Now.when the government contracts its circulatin medium an injury is done to the debtor class, for this contraction, while, limiting the number of dollars in circulation, increas es the purchasing power of the dollar, thus making it more difficult to get possession of. Now, how does the Disseminator pro pose to remedy the evil of hoarding the people's money up. Every man in his righ mind, and unlnfiucnced by his party preju dice, will say, "reduce the taxation under which this surplus increases." But the Dis seminator has two ways which it recoin mends to reduce the surplus, neither of which is in the interest of the farmer. One is to continue to collect the high war cus 1 toms taxes and spend the money in large, and, what it calls, liberal appropriations for various public improvements. The other Is to buy outstanding bonds r.ot now due, at a big premium for the bondholder.and con tltuie to collect the high taxes on the labor ing people and farming classes of the coun try. Under no circumstances does that paper propose to reduce the duties on the necessaries of life in the way of food and clothing. It says it will labor consistently and conscientiously In the interests of the farming and laboring interests, but when it is proposed to reduce the tax on lumber, nn article essential to the farmer, it objects, objects to putting salt on the free list. opposes, just like the party it belongs to, all reduction of the protection system. In no way would It be possible to labor more "conscientiously" for the interest of the farmer and laboring man than to secure the putting of jute sacks, salt and lumber on the free list, and yet the Disseminator opposes all this and stands by its platform that declares it favors the repeal of the en tire internal revenue system rather than surrender any jutrt of the protective sys tem. To "repeal the entire internal reve nue system" means to make whisky, to. bacco and oleomargarine free, and that Is what the Disseminator would do rather than surrender any part of the protective system. Does that paper call this laboring in the in'xrest of the farmer ? Does it think they are all Idiots to be wheedled and deceived as it chooses ? No longer need it attempt to make people believe that It is the organ of organized farming interests in this coun try. I have no hesitation in saying that to oppose the attempc now being made to 6C- ure a reduction of the war taxes is to de- lare one's self as an open enemy to the farmers best interests. It is not enough for a newspaper tu merely announce ihal it is in favor of the best interests of the farmer. It acts will show whether that is true. Farmer. The New York Herald says: "It is a fact that many Democrats are very anx ious that this Mayorality muddle shall be settled at once, so that they may know where they stand. There are certain in- ividuals who talk of 'trading' for Republi can votes, but it is well settled that there will be less of that this year than at any preceding election. The national and State Democratic tickets were never so strong, d 90,000 majority in New York City alone for the Cleveland-Thurman electors is regarded as a shamefully meager figure." The Gazette announces that it will here after support the Democratic doctrines and candidates. It has always been a stanch Republican paper. Its reasons are that the Republican party ahvays.untilthis year, favored a judicious reduction of the tariff, but now it is in the hands of unscrup ulous monopolists. It also thinks President Cleveland's Administration has been for the best interests of the country. While weeping crocodile tears over Cleveland's contribution to the campaign fund Republicans managers are inquiring under their breath whether Candidate and Millionaire Morton has come down as handsomely as was promised. The Chinese government has lejectcd the treaty. Now what has become of ihe hole in which the president had been placed by the senate. Pluck is good. Luck is good. Both overcometh all.
