Our iIero @ Dead.

A king once said Of prince struck down:
"Taller he seems in DEATH
And this speech holds true, for now as then
'Tis after death that we measure men,
And us mists Of the past are rolled away,
Our heroes, who died in their tattered gray,
Grow taller and greater in all their parts
Till they fill our minds rs they fill our hearts
And for those who lament there is this belief:
That glory sits by the side of grief"

ployment. An unfavorable balance
sheet obliges a railroad company or
manufacturing concern to cut down its
expenses. A certain number OF en-
ployes have to be either discharged
or laid off temporarily. and they are
added to the number Of the unem-
ployed.
With population of 100000 peo-
pie, an average of n Of 1 per cent
out of work Is not a large one.
This does not mean that the same per-
sons remain In idleness month after
month and year after year, but that,
in the revolving changes of industry,
while some are getting work, others
are losing it; and there will always
be a larger or smaller force, as cir
cumstances direct, of those who have
found old conditions impossible, and
have not yet adjusted themselves to
the new. What should be objected to
and frowned upon is the statement of
this inevitable consequence Of the OPP
Grafton of trade laws and business con-
ditions as if it were the consequences
of a deliberate, willful policy on the
part Of some oppressors of the people.
What is still more blameworthy is the
multiplication by ten or twenty or a
hundred of the actual number of the
unemployed This is a part of that
calamity howl" whose effect has now
come to be the alarming of capital, the
undue depression of labor, the slacken-
ing Of business activity, the consequent
increase Of difficulty in obtaining work
and the enlightenment of men who
take falsehood for truth against cir
cumstances and conditions that do not
actually exist.
AT no time during the years of de-
preston through which we have
passed, save in the few months fol-
lowing the panic of 1893, has the num-
Der Of unemployed of the United
States been more than a small fraction
Of what it was estimated. Those who
multiply it now for political effect have
the example, with such poor apology
as 1t craries with it, Of the inconsist-
ent, dastardly policy of the Republi-
cans, who for four long years assert
ed as facts similar falsehoods con-
corning the condition of the country
under Democratic free trade" Be-
cause they invented, established and
maintained this system of villainous
misrepresentation for party purposes,
and were the original calamity howlers,
as they are the parents of all other
forms or Populism, is not a good and
sufficient reason why any Democrat
should adopt that evil and discredita-
BILE precedent.

claim and cast us in damage for our
illegal seizures. The amount due the
Canadian vesselmen was agreed upon
between Secretary Gresham and Sails
bury at $425, 900. Congress was asked to
appropriate the money. Thereupon the
Republicans and the anti-Cleveland
Democrats saw their opportunity to
humiliate the president. There was a
tremendous uproar in the senate and
house, promptly and faithfully echoed
down the line of organs. The appro-
priation was refused. England there
upon very properly regarded the Incl
dent as closed. Congress virtually In
sisted upon the claim of jurisdiction.
England could not send her navy into
our waters to police them; We must
do that. Now the secretary has the
hardihood to accuse England of bad
faith because she has not fully per-
formed an agreement we have repu-
dated. 1t is safe to predict that this
firecracker will not explode; there will
be no such outburst of popular APP

A FOOLISH ExAGGERATJnN.

We observe, in speech before the
Ohio Democratic convention. a state
ment, of a sort circulated principally
by Populist orators and newspapers,
which should not go without contradict
ton. The gentleman, who wished to stir
present miseries of his fellow men,
announced that there are at present
100000 men out of employment and
clamoring for work. The last time we
heard this declaration the unemployed
numbered 100000. We find before
that it was down to 100000. So, by
the date when the fall campaigns get
to running at high pressure, the I'M
employed will probably number 1O,O0O,-

that the latest investigation into the
actual facts of the~case, before the re-
cent miners strike, shows something
less than 100000 men reported as out of
work and seeking it in the United
States.
The problem Of the unemployed
is serious enough and heart

to round out an oratorical appeal.

THREE REASONS FOR OBJECTIO,
Oriental Power Explicitly Denies
Having Any Evil Designs Against
the Integrity of Hawaii,

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The formal
protest of Japan against annexation of
Hawaii to the United States became
available today. The full correspond
ence is as follows:
Legation of Japan, Washington, June 10,
1S97-Sir: l beg to again call your attention
to the subject Of our interview today, the
rumor that the governments Of the United
States and Hawaii are on the point of con-
Guiding a treaty anneXing the Hawaiian is
lnds to this country as a territorial part there
OF. AS | had the honor to state to- you, this
rumor has been repeated during the past few
days with cireumstantiality Of detail which
gives 1t the appearance of authority. 1t not
only states positively that the annexation
will soon take place, but also gives with appa-
rent precision certain portions Of the alleged
arrangement which directly affects the rights
acquired by the government of Japan and
Japanese subjects by treaties with Hawaii,
and under the constitution and laws of that
country.
1t is on this account that desire to repeat
what l had the honor to- state in our inter-
view today that my government cannot view
without concern the prospects of sudden
and complete change in the status of Ha-
wall. whereby the rights of Japan and Jap
aneSe subjects may be imperiled.
While, therefore, they confidently rely
upon the United States to maintain toward
them just and friendly attitude in this as
in all other matters, they feel that under the
circumstances they caanot be regarded as
spectators merely. without interest in the
important change which it has been so posi-
lively asserted is about TO take place in the
relations of the United States and the Ha-
Waiian islands. For this reason, if 1t Is really
true that treaty CT annexation is about to
be concluded, l feel that l am justified in
inquiring from you what provision has been
made therein for the preservation ond main
tenance of the rights acquired and enjoyed
by Japan in her intercourse with Hawaii
under the solemn sanction Of law and of
treaty
Accept, Mr.. Secretary, the renewed assur-
ances OF my highest consideration.

DOING THEIR BEST.

Statistician Ford's monthly statement
Of the movement of our surplus prod
ucts of the farms to foreign markets
shows that our farmers are doing their
best to restore prosperous times EVEN
if a portion of these values goes TO
pay debts or interest charges. they aid
in making better times possible by les
SEEMING debts and interest charges ana
widening the margin left for reinVest-
ment at home. In fact, as far as sur
plus selling affects prosperity Of men
or nations, our farmers and planters
are contributing over three-fourths OF
the material, while our manufacturers
aid the return with a bare quarter.
There is not only a marked increase in
the value of our agricultural exports,
but there is also an increase in guam
titles. 1t takes a larger quantity of
breadstuffs, for instance, to bring the
values up to 177,84351S in the eleven
months ending with May, than it did
to bring the exports up to $161, lO,33S
for the year ending with June, 1894.
They have not ceased their sowing and
reaping, their planting and harvesting
during all these years of depression and
falling prices. if their brothers in the
shops have idled while praying for
Jupiter to help them.
OF the total exports of domestic prod
ucts for the eleven months of the fiscal
year, valued ait $3.50, 267, 709, it is notable
that Al per cent, or 1925 1892. S16 was cot
ton, a higher percentage than was
reached in any of the four preceding
years. In proportion to their numbers
our Southern farmers are doing more
than their share in this restoring pro-
cess. In addition to the breadstuffs Of
the Northern FARMS there was sent
away to market in these eleven months
cattle and hogs to the value of $50, 516,-
034, and provisions valued at S115, 997,-
S22, making the contribution from
Northern farms amount to 1924, 1874, 9S3
If the Northern farmer rejoices in an
advance in the average price of his
wheat in the year from 60 to so cents
a bushel, the Southern cotton planter
is made happy by the more decided
increase of the price of his cotton from
an average of ST to 81 cents. Raising
little else for export, the latter is not
obliged to offset his increase by lessen
ed prices of other commodities as does
his Northern neighbor, whose barley is
9 cents cheaper this year. whose corn
is worth cents less and his oats s
On the other hand, he has not under
gone that Populist-breeding experience
Of the Southern planter, who saw his
cotton fall steadily from 10.1 cents in
1890 to 81 cents a pound in 1896 1t
is no wonder the planter went so heav-
lily into politics in his vain hunt for
relief. The demagogue persuaded only
too many Northern farmers that help
lay in positive legislation, but the ma
jor portion have learned that it is the
negative sort, the repeal instead of the
enactment of laws, that will make
their paths easier.
