MONEY, OR MEN.
\V. K. Vanderbilt is the greatest
man in the United States—that is
if money is the measure of man
hood. By a shrewd multiplication
of Btocks, by being on the inside
and immensely rich to begin with,
Vanderbilt has cleared a profit of
*25,000,000 within a few months.
This is great achievement. It
represents the labor of one Hn/.el-
ton coal miner for H'2,000 years.
JUrepresents the labor of Admir-
al Dewey for 5.000 years.
It represents the labor of Dennis
Flynn and Hill Grimes for a life-
time. It represents the labor ol
Pat Nngle ten thousand years pa.«t
eternity. Is William K. Vander
bilt, therefore, a greater r an than
Admiral Dewey or the President oi
the United States?
Rich men are trying to get coil
trol of this government. The
money power struck the first blow
against the supremacy of the peo'
pie 111 1873, when it secured by
secret and dishonorable methods
the demonetization of Bilver.
But the exigencies of the present
have called a Dewey into action.
He has made the nation respected
and feared by all the powers of the
earth.
What has Vanderbilt done? Hi
has made a prolit or $25,000,000 i
less than a year. Do the people
desire to honor such men as Van
dsrbilt higher than such men as
Dewey? Is it money or is it men
that deserve honor from this 11a
tion?—Guthrie Leader.
AMEND THE CONST/TUT/OK
Senator Mills,of Texas, has in-
troduced a measure in Congress
legalizing the income tax
The measure introduced, if pass-
ed, will call for an amendment to
the Constitution. The Supreme
Court held a few years ago, that
congress could not impose a direct
tax, unless it be imposed in pro
portion to population.
The measure introduced by Sen-
ator Mills, provides that direct tax
shall be apportioned among the
several states, which may be inolu
ded within the union, according to
their respective members, but Con-
gress shall have power to collect di
rect taxes as other taxes, duties,
imposts and excises are levied and
collected,
Senator Teller, of Colorado, favors
the amendment. It will uridoubt
edly pass the Senate but will likely
meet defeat 111 the House. If the
people ever have an opportunity to
vote 011 the amendment, the Demo-
crat believes it will l>e adopted by
a large majority.
A common mistake of advertis
ers is to estimate the value of ad-
vertising space of one newspapt
by the amount asked by another
publication. It is a mistake of
judgment for a basinets man toes
timate the value of space in a repu-
table newspaper with h good cir-
culation by that of some other pnl
lication which will accept busii ess
at any price and be pleased to get
It.—Guthrie Leader.
Col. W. F. I,aney, «ell known
in this county has purchased the
American Citizen, published at
Hattiesburg, Miss , and lias assum-
ed control of same. Col. I.alley is
a newspaper man in every particu-
lar. The Demochat wishes him
the success he deserves in his far
away Southern home.
In order to supply a "Long felt
want" the Guthrie Daily l.eader
has commenced published an even-
ing edition. The Capital has chan-
ged to a morning paper. Queer
things happen even among news
papers.
Joseph I.eiter, the wheat king, is
going to give some one else a chance.
He has declared bis intentions of
retiring from the wheat pit, where
he has made millions. There is a
great deal in knowing when to
quit.

kansas popvusts.
The Populists of the fourth con-
gressional district in Kansas, met
in convention at Kmporia, last
Tuesday, and nominated Hender-
son S. Martin, a Democrat for Con-
gress.
That action of the Populists
demonstrated their devotion to the
principles advocated by the Demo-
crats throughout the United States.
The Populist candidate for the
nomination, John Madden, urged
Mr. Martin's nomination.
Ho recognized the fact that Dem
ocrats were demanding the legisla
tion asked for by the Populists
He realized that the Democrats
were in better condition to bring
about such legislation than the Pop-
ulists, as the Populist organization
was in the minority. In view of
these important facts, he placed
principle above personal ambition
and asked the Populist convention
to endorse the candidacy of Mr
Martin, who had previously been
nominated by the Democrats.
The Populists 01" the fourth con
gressional district have sacrificed
nothing by endorsing the Demo
cratic candidate for congress. On
the other hand thev have strength-
ened the cause for which they are
lighting, not only in Kansas, but
throughout the 1 uited States. 1 hey
have placed their bi-metallic forces
unrter our command, they have en
listed in the stronger army
Populist leaders in Kansas op-
posed the action of the convention,
however, the rank and file of that
organization dictated the course ol
the convention.
Missouri Populists have left their
organization and are now in Demo
cratic ranks. The chairman of tlu
state committee, acting upon the
advice of the rank and tile of tin
party in that state, has refused to
call a state convention to nominate
candidates for state ofhees. He
says it is foolishness for the Popu
list to attempt to maintain their
organization, as the Democratic
party is much stronger throngho.it
the United States and that party is
ipousing the principles for which
Populists are clammoring-
What is true of Kansas and Mis
sonri is true of Oklahoma. 1 he
Populist of Oklahoma should, and
we belive will, join the Democratic
organization. They should nomin
ate a Democrat for congress and
aid in electing him.
The fourth congressional convei
tion, adopted resolutions declaring
in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold, and
against a high protective tariff.
also declared in favor of an income
tax.
The Democrats are demanding
the samo and will secure such leg
islation two years hence, when
Western man is elevated to the
Presidential chair and the Deino
crat« are in the majority in Con
gress
The writer is firm in his belief
that a Democrat will be elected
President in 1900. Both houses ol
the Fifty-fifth Congress will be
•ontrolled by the Democrats
l'ben the Populists will be depen-
dent upon the Democrats for legis
lation they are demanding. It will
be impossible for a free coinage
measure to be enacted by Populist
congressmen and signed by a Pop
ulist President. There is not
Populist in the United States en'
thusiastic enough for his party to
predict for his party succccss «nlB-
cicnt to bring about the enactment
of a single measure f,>r which they
are praying-
'"he sucness of bimetallism, ai
inco.no tax and every legislation
necessary to prosperity depend-
upon the success of the Demo'ratie
party. In view of this, the l'opi
list should not hesitate to j.iii-
hands with us and vote the Demo
cratic ticket from township ollicers

May 1st., 1898.
Kditor Democrat-Tone:—111 com-
pliance with your request that I
write you something of this country
on my arrival here, I now take the
first opportunity I have had. We
landed at Portage Bay,(Prince Wil-
liams Sound) on April 4th. and
camped on ten feet of biiow for ten
days. Our party with about 200
more, proceeded on our way across
the glacier, 2,000 feet high and 20
miles long, to Turnitfana Arm,
(Cooks Inlet,) and we were juet '20
days getting over. Some benches
of the glacier was up an incline of
45 degrees for 1,500 to 2,000 feet and
we used rope and pulleys for trans-
porting our goods and it was a slow
hard, and tedious task, but we suc-
ceeded and have crossed over the
glacier and are camped in a beau-
tiful spruce grove on the bench of
quartz creeks, which flows into
Cooks Inlet and are comfortably
sleeping on pine bows on top of (5
or 8 feet of snow.
On our way across the glacier \vi
had some sport that reminded us of
younger days. As we toiled and
tugged our loads up the different
inclines of the glacier for a mile or
two we would unload and coast
back after more loads. Someof the
'more timid ones were a littleafraid
at first of such sport, especially the
older one like myself, but seeing
the boys having such sport we took
a few headers on a half mile run,
and landed in 20 to 50 feet of soft
snow and just picked ourselves up,
shake off the snow and proceed on
our way.
The old time sport almost paid
for the pull up hill. Of course if it
had been our girls of younger days,
the pull uphill would have been a
pleasure and the swift glide down
hill a pleasure only to be realized
once in a man's life time. As one of
our party was going down one of
the steep inclines he took a turn
and landed across a gulcli about a
half mile across and landed in soft
snow with slight damage
In the 1200 on the trail only a few
logs were used. Most all of us
were harnessed up like horses and
hauled from 11)0 to r><K) pounds on
light sledson the level roads and
proceeded wearily on our way.
After reaching the summit ol the
glacier it was a down hill pull to
where we are now in camp.
I am not yet able to give your
readers but little information re
garding our chances, but there are
some good mines near here. We
do no prospecting until the
snow goes off, which will not be
