THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN.

1t is an axiom in business, that even
a newspaper has to admit, that il you
have something to sell that everybody
must sooner or later have, and no other
merchant has it, such goods need very
little advertising. In actual business
this situation could hardly be exempli-
fed except in the case of an undertaken
doing business in village situated in
the middle of desert.
But the present political campaign
represents just that sort of situation.
Most every suffragist in the State of
Rhode Island wants to vote to help
overturn the present Democratic Con-
gress. There isn't but one day TO
vote in and everybody is looking
forward eargerly To that day-that is
everybody but n few stalwart Demo-
Gratis who would vote for the name
Democrat, whatever it stood for.
The candidates of the Republican
party stand today backed by the silent
but tremendous force of public opinion
which, like the storm gathering at the
horizon. makes no sound, but rolls up
into a mighty cloud ready to burst and
overwhelm everything in its way.
There is little need of blowing any
horns, or of sounding any political Gym
balls in Rhode Island. The Republican
voters will go to the polls with ser.
iousness Of purpose and political con-
viction that viii need no stirring up

men and eloquent pleaders for the
Republican party are employed today

strongly rooted and will attempt To con
vince those heretofore misguided com
munilies that their own interests aud th,
interests vi the nation demand the elsc

Meant What He Said.
Rhode Island Pendulum.


The political history of Rhode Island
now presents an instance of Democrat
who means what he says when he declines
nomination for public office. Last
Tuesday Congressman Page wrote q let
ter TO the committee of the Second Con-
gressional District Democratic Conven-
tion, in which he notifies the committee
and the party that he cannot accept
the nomination for reelection, and re-
states the reasons which were perfectly
well known to the convention which
nominated him against his protests.
Months before anything had taken place
IN Congress to indicate the death blow
that Democratic body was to deal the
Democratic party, Congressman Page
had served notice that at the close of the
Fifty third Congress he should devote his
time to his personal and professional busi-
ness which he could not afford to longer
neglect. This determination was not
changed when the Congressional Conven-
tion met aud its managers well knew it.,
| but they obviously sought to force him
to belle his words or to cast suspicion
upon their sincerity by alleged reconsid-
Grafton, by rendering him with unani-
nous vote a nomination that was going a
begging. The fiattering bait failed with
a man who meant what he said months be-
fore thu convention. The Pendulum says
the nomination was fattering bait,
because it is our candid opinion that il
the Democratic managers had believed
there was a ghost of show to elect q
Democratic candidate for Congress in this
district, they would not have nominated
Mr.. Page. With certain defeat awaiting
the party. they were only too willing to
assume the Inconsistency of approving
Mr.. Pages vote against tariff bill enact
ed in the name of Democracy and the
bill iteslf, il Mr.. Page would thereby be
induced to consent to be one OF the Rhode
Island political corpses for the Democratic
funeral Oh Nov. 6. In our opinion, the
Democratic nomination of Congressman
Page for the present canvass was conceived
i'm malice, and we congratulate him upon
defeating the wiles of his enemies within
his own party, by declining to be cajoled
into ''going back on himself"

NEW YORK CAMPAIGN.

Those citizens Who are reading the
newspaper reports of the progress of the
New York campaign do not miss all the
fun in life; neither do they miss most
instructive lesson upon the relative con-
stituent merits of the two great political
parties.
So far as surface indications go il ap-
pears that the Republicans are conduct
ing n thorough canvas of New York
State: that they are united and enthusi-
astic; that they know what they are
fighting for aud how to fight for it; that
they have the assurance born of just
cause and the confidence inspired by
repeated and convincing assurances that
the public is with them and for their
candidates.
The New York Democrats, on the
other hand, present daily new evidence
of the gaping disruption in their party
ranks, their lack Of courage or of cause
to inspire courage, their hopeless en-
tanglement with the awfully corrupt
Tammany Hall. their internal jealousies
and chickering's, their uncertainty regards
ing which side to take upon questions of
great public Importance, their fear of
their own record.
All credible signs point TO sure and
sweeping victory in the State, and the
downfall OF Tammany and Democratic
rule in New York city. If such is not
the result Of the voting week from to-
day, there will hereafter be no ground
to base predications upon; probability
and all political foreshadowings will be
proven wholly unrelable.
The great campaign being made
against the rule of Tammany in New
York city is the most unique spectacle
ever presented in American politics.
a legislative committee, with the
powers aud employing the processes of a
court Of justice, has heen for months
showing TO New York citizens most
conclusively that the whole Tammany
municipal machinery is operating to. rob
the people for the benefit of its leaders.
thas been shown-not by one, but by
many instances--that the police force,
controlled absolutely by Tammsny. has
exerted Itself to protect crime and
blackmail honest citizens.
There Is no inference possible but that
the wealth of Tammany leaders who en-
tered public life poor. almost to man.
and become quickly rich--come from
the blood money levied upon criminals
and the extortions from business men.
This inference, ssinost proof positive, is
far too strong TO be resisted. Tue re-
sponse thus far materializei is a tre-
mendous registration of voters. The ex-
pectaiion is that Tammany will be de-
feated.
The campaign has taken on very
lively nature. TIE Republicans are in
vading the stamping grounds of tn,
Democracy as they never before were
invaded. Rousing rallies are being held

CROAKERS NOT NEEDED.

THE Hon. ELLERY ANDERSON, who Is
content TO endure the ills of this world,
because he believes the Higher Power
will sometime, in His own good season,
bring about the millennium, has good
many disciples in the business world just
at present. The croaker is in very pain
ful evidence. Whole multitudes of him
sit aud bewail tine decline of trade,
but the subjects that he understands
least and discusses the most are the gold
reserve and the decreasing exports. The
average business man has come by long
years of ill-defned training 10 believe
that there is somehow talismanic
value in gold, and that its possessor is
always prosperous. He iorgets that gold
is only a medium of exchange, and
when we are sending gold abroad we
are getting goods III return.
Our exports this year are full of en-
couraging signs. The figures for the
nine months. ending Sept 80, show ex-
ports OF S577 ,000, 900 compared with 1908,
600, 600 last year-a decrease of $26, ,000,-
600, But the decrease in breadstuffs
alone was $53, 500, 900, showing that in-
stead of decrease, we have actually
exported $27, 100000 more Of
all the manufactured articles than
last year-that is, for all
goods where diversified labor is large
element we have found larger market
than ever before, and it is .he employ
ment Of diversified labor that makes "a
most prosperous country. Even of the
decline in breadstuffs large portion is
due to the decline in prices-amounting
in the rough to 20 per cent; this differ
ence in price alone accounts for more
than half of the decrease in the value of
this class of exports.
1t is curious fact, too, that while our
breadstuffs have been meeting with COM
petition from Russia and Argentina, and
have consequently decreased i'll amount
and declined in price, our exports of
provisions have greatly increased, and
the same is true of cotton this latter
being about the only article OF the So
called raw materials in which there
has been great increase, and
much of that increase is doubtless
due to its extremely low price.
So we might go through the whole table
of exports it it were necessary, but it is
not. The great fact is that as a nation
we are selling ali the other countries of
thes~orld can buy, but meanwhile we
are buying more than we are selling.
And we will pay for it in gold if neces-
sary--that is, if our creditors are not
able to buy Of us in return.
There isn't anything SO portentous of
perdition about such a condition, and
some of these days the Andersonites
will suddenly discover that while they
have been lamenting over exports and
kindred subjects the millennium has
passed by and is perched very content
edly in the office of their energetic and
hopeful competitors.

THE PHONAUT0GRAPH.
A Remarkable Machine Invented by Cali
fornia Genius.

A Remarkable Machine Invented by Cali
fornia Genius.
A San Francisco man has invented
machine which will do away with type
writers, both instruments and operators,
if he succleds in perfecting his inven-
tion.
The new machine combines the phono-
graph and the typewriter, and in looks
bears considerable resemblance to cash
register. On the front Of the machine
are small electric buttons, which you
press before talking into the mouthpiece
projecting from the upper part. This
mouthpiece is connected with revolv-
ing cylinder, which receives impressions
IN % way similar TO the Edison phono-
graph. a travelling needle regulates the
position of the impressions on the CYL
inder according to the size of the paper
they arc TO bo reproduced OH.
The filed cylinder is placed on roll
ers in the lower part of the machine.
Above the rollers is supply OF paper
for receiving the written characters.
There are several mysteries about the
working of the new invention. No ink
Is used, the written characters being
produced in n bold, round hand by
chemical action. It spells entirely by
sound and is unable as yet TO cope with
the diphthong, the silent letter, the cap
ital, tho semicolon or figures, but il
will receive the sounds Of the human
voice in any language except Chinese
and reproduce them in plain English
chirography
This seeming fairy tale comes from
the financial hacker and the inventor,
these two men being the only persons
who have seen the wonderful machine

IDLE MONEY.

Providence banks have nearly four
millions less deposits than they had six
teen months ago, aud about four and a
half millions less money loaned. Banks
in 1872 cities have $l54, $50, 500 more on
deposit than sixteen months ago, and
Sl5, ,6Sl ,S32 less loaned. This indicates a
surplus of idle money, here and every
where-more than $2OO, ,000, 900 in excess
of sixteen months ago.

THE STATE PRESS.
Danger i'm Over-Confidence.

Hope Valley Advertiser.
While the present is Republican year,
there is great danger OF the party suffering
through over-confidence. AT such times
voters are apt to consider the battle won
beforehand and SO think it not necessary
for them to GO to the polls and
vote. They argue to themselves that
there will be votes enough to elect their
candidate without their help. This Is q
danger that all Republicans should guard
against on the 9th o. November. Don't
rely at all upon the idea that this Is q
"Repu blican year" Go to the polling
place and cast your vote just as IL the re-
suit depended upon you alone. That some
votes will be lost through over-confidence
is TO be expected. But remember and do
your part toward keeping that loss at the
lowest figures. With a full vote
the plurality for the Republican candi-
date in the Second district will mount
into the thousands. With over-confi-
dence and staying al home, trusting to
good luck to elect the ticket, the plural
ity may be only fraction Of a thousand.
1t lies with the Republican voters 10 make
their victory complete and overwhelming
or merely nominal one. Let there be no
stay-at- homes on election day.
