Aa a cmseqaenoe their statement. are to UDircrrcallr calortd that thinking reader dibtru-t the tinceritj and hooeetj of nearly txj partisan I'atetneot. Erer tince money was invented there have been period in the history of each nation wnen it wealth became centered in the handi of the few. Thii time hat niarkf-d the betfinniojp of the decline of that nation. 1 he rapidity on tardiness of ucb decline beiny governed by many cause, not to be enumerated in a febort article. In the Iiritieh Km pi re we teem to nee an exception to thii general rule. Thii exception is apparent not real. The ctrpnjrtb of England lie in her ntt colon ial iytera. .Strip hr of that and the dry rot, long kince permeating1 the parent country would be apparent at a glance. The decay of the Koman Empire came fclowiy for the reason that her vast teni tory su: plied the waa'e of tht-uo of the home (rcivemment. In the United S'a'ca, with plenty of cheap land prior to the war, the chances for, not only competence but comparative wealth, were open to moat energeticcapaUe men. During thin period no great fortunes were rolled uo. To be a millionaire then wai more of a dih'inc'iorj, thn the owner ship of one hundred millions U now, while the very poor were few in numbtnv Now 14 per cent of the people of the country own 01 per cent of its wealth Mobt of (his change has come within 30 yeari. The concentration of wealth in the hands of the few ha already gone to eucb an extent that it alarm every thoughtful and Patriotic mind. The owners of ttia wealth are evidently obliviout to the teaching of history or like the French aHttocraU before the French revolution tbey say, "on with the dance, after us the deluge.' Now let us ee the causes of the present concentration of wealth in this country, if we are able to do so. First came monopoly in the shape of patent rights, where the capital invested in the manufacture of sewing machines, reapers, plows, telephones etc, etc, makes enormous and unjust profits out of the people. It is right to encourage invention but not at so great an expense. Second, the monopoly of iron and coal and petrol i urn formed the foundations for several of today's enormous fortunes. Third, rancally war contracts gave away many millions of Uie people's money and this money has been eating us up and piling up wealth in the hands of some of i its holders ever since. ! Fourth, the high war tariff and the con-j tinud'advance in tariff since the war have given the opportunity for the foundation of come of these grcit fortunes If I were a rarth-an I would claim this a the male cause, but honesty compels me to say that there is no evidence of this fact nnd that the fortunes made from the manufacture of protected goods are fener in numbers and smaller in aize than lliona from other causes. Tin will be Been by contracting Carnegie with I.ockt-M!r, Antor, Vander bilt, Stanford, Mould and othcig. Fifth, the nationnl banking net which' permitted a man to buy $'.00 in gnnbaks with 1 00 in gold, exchange U e gnt-nback for $100 in bonds bearing C pir cent, form a national bank, get in bank notes on this 1 100, bonds and re loan this ?J0, at 10 er cent, profit, interest on bonds, gold $R, equalled $10. per 100, interest on notes $'J to!al interest jit), or ltt er cent on the in vestment to nay nothing about the Interest on deposit loaned out. The day when such sums could be mad in such a way Las long rime past and the prewnt rate of ineret does not pay very well on bank circulation. 1 cite it to riiow how fortune already begun in oilier iin doubled themselves very quickly fl(f the bonds bought with a depreciated tiiricncr were paid piincijial anj int'est in gold". Sixth the greatest source of ths wealth of today held by the few hi been speculation. The Afctors litve grown by real estate specutotion an have a few others of I tie great mflllunafr;. Rockefellers an 1 Khglers fjrtunes cam; from sj?cula;:cn in petto leum. Vanderbllts an) GoulJ from railroad wrecking and most of the others in one way or another by gambling in stocks ani bands in grain, meats or cotton. We sneer at Monte Carlo. It it straining at aa gnat. We tarn the LoaiML Lottery f i om oar boors and ial o te cmel of sreccUtive gambling stitb- oita nir.k. The fortunes thrown away by the govern ment in gifts cf lands and iranchuti to railroads and other corporations have also been a fruitful source for mj;h lilgolten wealth. Kevitwing these fojndatiout rf the great fortunes w find they have tten wrung fr om be p-j?! In driblets and so -killf-lly that they have hirdj rehzcd tl.eir losses till io ths )earl93 ib-y awoke from their dreams and found rwe selves bankrj;t. The vampire is aiid tofaa their vir.tim with Us wing while it draw his lifeblotri from his veins, so the american people have seen bullied by specious prorai by juggl ing trick till their fortunes ani well niifb their liberties have been taken ffjin them. The tr&rrller peri-Mag from cold feels no pain; atttmpt to restore the circulation in bis vein and excruciating agony f jIIws. Going djwn the ra-ie iwHt y. tnroothl is very pleasant. Tbe collision it H the t'uiop j at the bottom, the painful crawl bic up the till, are not so. The repuMlcan pa'ty hz bte1 in change of trie s'e J in one or both branches of the government for over thirty years. The fart that the peojrle changed t!.e cl.ac-g? jjvt bt-f re the colliuoa i'-h Vie slump does not reflect so much on tie pretext management as the one that bad g?t the machine into thi rut, from which escape wa.inipOfiiMe and collision Inevitable, The democracy his the painful ta of gathering op the fragments and plodding back up the hl'd to eucceta. Can te done? We think io and will try to sno to-morro how it cm be d?n;. V inn EG ULARITT! Ia that what troubles vou? Then it's easilr and promptly remedied by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They regulate tbe system perfectly. Take one for a gentle laxative or corrective ; three for a cathartic. If you suffer from Constipation, Indiption, Hilious Attacks, Sick or Bilious IIcadachf'8, or any de rangement of the liver, Ptomach or bowels, try these little Pellets. Ihev brin:; a permanent cure.

Tie L)smo:rat did not ssy that wheat would fas a dollar or any 0-her price per buihel If Cleveland were elected. We challenge the Populist for the proof nd in cae of failure he shall stand before the public as a malicious, evil hearted liar. About 44 per cent of the revenues of the Government from all sources for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1S98. ws from cus toms, and about 35 per cent from the in ternal revenue. Thus about 79 per cent of the financial support of ths Government was dependent on iheas two sources of In come. Ihe expencitars of the Govern ment for the same period were chiefly for pension purpose, that is, over 35 per cent of tbe Gjvernroent exp;nd:tures were in thia direction. Over 78 per cent of the receipts derived from customs were required tor the payment 01 pcmioi-s .
