authorities say, be In violation Of the
terms OF the concession granted to the
Maritime Canal Company. and would
probably be resented by the United states.
Article five of the concession to the Mari.
time company provides that "the state
binds itself not to make any subsequent
concession for the opening Of a canal be-
tween the two oceans during the term Of
the present concession (90 years., and also
to abstain from granting II concession for
a railroad, such as might compete with
the canal for the transportation Of mcr-
chandise, during the same period; but
nothing In this article shall prevent the
Government of Nicaragua from construct
Ing, or permitting the construction, Of
such railways as II may deem advisable
for commerce and internal TRAFFIC."
Friends of the canal say the first portion

qua has not the right TO make any such
concession a. 10 reported to have been
made to the Atlas company. ''The pros.

through clearing house I.3 per cent larger
than In 1902, and probably the largest

earnings 11.2 per cent larger than the
best Of past years, the fact that prices are
very low only shows more clearly the In
crease In quantities Of products sold. The
settlement Of wages on a 10 per cent I'D.
vance April for 100000 coal miners Of
the central region, with other changes.
Will tend toward a larger demand for pro.
ducts OF all kinds, though also toward
some increase In cost Of manufacture.
Wheat has been conspicuous, rising D
cents for the week, with 6M cents for
May options. Cotton has risen lilo cent,
Notwithstanding the strikes In Eastern
mills and the ofiicisl report Of decrease
Of 100 per cent In British exports Of cot.
ton goods last year. The wooden manu-.
facture IL doing well, fine wOrsted goods
having opened at an advance Of 70 per
cent Of last year. Sales at three Of the
chief markets have been $3.50. 100 pounds.
and for four weeks, 3O,421 ,O1O. Of which

Safdlng the war the platform saws:
The war with Spain was necessary
ana inevitable If the nation was to have
any regard for the protection of its
citizens and its redress of wrongs and
optrages on the part Of Spain, which
had become intolerable. Yet after this
condition had become known for
months a Republican administration
hesltated, and in weakness sought to
avoid the responsibility growing out Of
the most important crisis. After re-
sorting to various devices and decep-
tive representations it was at length
compelled through the patriotic efforts

favor declaration of war"

a painful impression has been caused

AS TO MR.. LIND
Republicans constantly say to me:
HOW can you vote for John Lind? IF
he should be elected it will go abroad
that Minnesota has gone for free sill
yer This Is the best reason T have
heard given for opposing Mr.. Lind r.
Is not denied that he is able. honest
Iar-mlnded, intelligent, conservative
OF patriotic 1t is admitted that Min

state that has been ring-ruIed for +bir
ty-nVe years is bound to be, and that
NIL ]lhu election would shake loos;
the grip that the Republican ring has
upon the throat of the state. In NV
opinion, COMPARISON fof the Demo-
cratic platform Of 1898 with that of 1909
ana OF the vote of the state in 1893 with
that Of 1896 will prevent any misan-
prehension of the significance of Mr.
Lima election. No one will be so loud
In the declaration that his c,,oooco -; e
mines nothing affecting the opinion of
our people upon the silver question in
case Mr.. Lind is successful. as will
these very Republicans who now hold
up thls ougaboo for the purpose of
frightening gold Democrats into the
support of the Republican ticket.
another powerful reason WHY 7 shall
