There is much to be learned about
,merican customs and characteristics
from the Spanish newspapers. One Of
them, published in Barcelona, says: "The
average height among the Americans is 5
iet 2, and they have never produced an
athlete. This is due to their living almost
entirely upon vegetables, as they ship all
their beef out of the country, so eager are
they to make money. There is no doubt
that one full-grown Spaniard can defeat
any three men in America"

the figures above given, would amount
to forty per thousand per annum.
VILE ATTACKS.
And upon this foundation has been
erected the vilest fabric Of fscandalous
eXaggeration and abuse ever witnessed.
A new army of raw recruits go forth
and endures the hardships of war under
the most unfavorable conditions Of cli-
mate, and. after three. months only one
per cent of them have perished of
wounds, exposure and disease. Accord
ing to the mortuary statistics Of the
country as many would have died had
they staid at home with their families
and pursued the ordinary aVocatlonS or
life Leave out the number killed in
battle and the number compares favor
ably with the death rate of the best
cared for city in the world. These are
the facts CLEANED from the most rella-
BILE sources which show up the wild,
vicious and malign falsehOOds circulat-
ed by some persons for the wicked puf-
pose Of fooling the people, and trying
to turn them against an AdmlnlStra-
ton that in rare accomplishments, re-
markable wisdom, superb courage and
singular Ioftiness of purpose, Will take
it's place in history by the side OF the
best and greatest administrations IN
our Republics history.
To condemn high officials acting
under the sanction of an oath and the
responsibility of the offices that they
fill, upon newspaper stories, Is uh-
worthy of any minded and honor-
able man. If, upon investigation
which the President has wisely oroereo'
it shall be found that there has peen
misfeasance or malfeasance IN once,
without doubt it will meet its just pun
ishment; but until there has been Judg-
ment. let there be no sentence or eA-
ecution. Let us have fair play. For
those who think themselves to nave
been ill treated, and who make COM
plaint. all men will have the largest
measure of charity; but for those VINO
incite to arouse indignation for the pur-
pose of party politics the people VIII
have nothing but contempt. The party
that has the temerity to make the con-
duct of this war political issue, Will
be buried out of sight by a patriotic
and justice loving people.
ALL HONOR TO OUR BOYS.
All honor to the brave soldier boys
who responded to their country,s call
and side by side marched away to Of
fer UP their lives in defense of their
country and it's flag and in the sweet
cause Of liberty; catching the spirit
that breathed upon them from the bat
tlev fields of the Republic in the past
and with the song of their fathers upon
their lips: I'm the beauty Of the lilies,
Christ was born across the sea; as He
died to make men holy, let us die to
make men free"
Thus they bravely went forth and on
foreign islands and on foreign seas they
performed heroic deeds, and proved to
the world that in their veins runs blood
of the same kind that warmed the
hearts Of Washington and of the shiv-
ering patriots at Valley Forge; that
coursed through the veins of those who
fell on Lexington Green and those who
fought for liberty at Saratoga, Bunker
Hill and Brandywine; and with the

Hon. Webster Davis was seen by a
Record Union reporter at the Col

after he had been driving over the city
with a committee Of citizens. He spoke
freely of his impressions here and of
his experiences in thirty-eight places
where he has spoken-his trip extend

ministration and toward the Republi-

the charges of abuse of soldiers are
fully explained the feeling is far diff

chlValrous sons of the young Republic
VINO, with Andrew Jackson at New
Orleans, taught the world that easier
We're it to hurl the rooted mountains
from their base than to force the yoke
Of slavery upon men determined to be
free; and Of the brave men who won
distinction and glory for our country
at Chepultepec, Palo Alto, Cerro Cor
do and Buena Vista Blood Of the
same kind that filled the veins of our
fathers who defended the flag at Dom
elson and Antietam and Shiloh; who
stood with Thomas like a rock at
Chickamauga; followed the knightIy
Logan through the storms of shot and
SHE'LL and went down into the valley of
death in the wilderness with peerless
Grant; who like a whirlwind swept
down the valley of the Shenandoah
with gallant Phil Sheridan, and
marched with Sherman from Atlanta
to the sea; who climbed the ragged
side Of Missionary Ridge over belching
cannon and shrieking musketry to
pluck the flower of victory that bios
soned on it's lofty crest; who fought
with Hooker above the clouds of Look
out Mountain, and who on the blood
besprinkled nights Of Gettysburg turned
back the tide of the rebellion and has
tened the day when the eagle Of vic
tory nestled with the dove of peace on
the flag Of the Union at Appomattox.
Brave heroic men are they They
will not be found complaining of the
hardships of war, for they knew that
war was made up of suffering and sor-
row, of scenes of blood and carnage;
they will be found firmly standing by
their beloved Commander-in-Ch Chief in
his noble efforts to uphold the dignity
of their country and the honor Of its
flag. All honor to them all: cheers for
the living and tears for the dead.

While fame her record keeps,
And honor guards the hallowed spot

knew that it had been splendidly plan
ned and executed The press of Eu-
rope and the honest publications Of this
country gave unstinted praise of the
Administration for unexampled sue
cess. alike in preparing for the conflict
and fighting it to an early end. The
three great events of the war, two ma
val and one land engagements, were
each and all such victories that they
could stand alone History has no
parallel for any Of those battles. Meas
ured by results accomplished in proper
ton to the cost, each and all Of them
and the war as a totality, eclipsed all
records This is the verdict of the civ
ilized world.
While the war was on, the political
campaign Jagged, for there was more
patriotism than politics in the hearts
and minds of the people. Who cared
to talk Of coinage, of tariff, of currency
reform, or any other issue; who cared
to remember that the people were not
all of one mind while our ships were
sinking the enemy's fleets and our
armies were moving on the Philippines,
Cuba and Porto Rico? But now we
hear of men whose self1shness and
greed for office rises above their love
for fair play and above their patriot
ism, villifying and abusing Government
officials on their conduct Of their differ
ent departments during the war, and
accusing them Of almost all the crimes
in the criminal calendar. And all this,
too, in the vain hope of irijuring the
Administration for political purposes,
expecting thus to poison the minds of
the people with the purpose in view Of
electing a Democratic Congress in No
vember next.
OF course there may have been some
mistakes in placing in the field an army
Of quarter Of a million men and end
ing a war with them in 113 days. Of
course some incompetent men may have
secured commands. Of course there
was sickness and death that might have
been prevented if all the officers and
enlisted men had known months ago as
much as they know now But when it
is realized that our people forced them
selves into the war at once during the
worst season of the year, in an un-
healthy, as well as a foreign, climate,
while our soldier boys were unaccus-
toned to hardships, leaving, as they
ala, Lnelr pOSlllOHS DenlnQ store cOun-
ters, in banks, in offices, from indoor
positions, to go into the marshes be-
meath a tropical sun amid malaria and
fevers, it is very remarkable that such
a small number of lives We're lost.
The total number of deaths in battle
amounted to exactly 332. The deaths
in all the camps amounted to, few
days ago, a total of 751. Hence, there
were in all 1,0S3 lives lost, being less
than five to a thousand In addition
to this, there were about 1000 men
wounded at Santiago, and a few others
here and there in various skirmishes
elsewhere. Suppose there were 500 of
these all told. That would make 500
wounded in all, and suppose that half
of these should die from their wounds,
the total number then would be 1888
out of 26S, 900 men.
This is most remarkable showing.
1t shows a loss of less than one man out
of every hundred who went into the
arnly-a proportion no greater than the
statistics of our healthiest cities show
in the times of profoundest peace.

WHAT REPUBLI ICANISM
HAS BROUGHT TO US.
tContinued from First Page.)

Importance of great questions, and l
am sure their attention will soon be
directed toward the upbuilding of the
shipping industry. 1t should not be
made an entirely party question; it is
so patriotic and fraught with so much
Importance to the future of our coun-
try that our people should rise above
party in its support
OUR MERCHANT MARINE.
Our party has always spoken in its
favor in unrnistakable terms, as fol-
lows: 1--WE favor the restoring of the
early American policy of discriminating
duties of our merchant marine and the
protection Of our shipping in the for
eign carrying trade, so that American
ships the product Of American labor
employed in American shipyards, sail
ing under the Stars and Stripes and
manned, differed and owned by Amer
leans may regain the carrying of our
foreign commerce. This Endorsement
was followed by the hearty approval of
the candidate of the convention in his
letter of acceptance, dated February
81, 1896, an extract of which is as fol-
lows: The declaration of the Repub-
Jican platform in favor of the upbuild-
!ng of our merchant marine has my
hearty approval. This policy Of dis
eliminating in favor of our shipping
which prevailed in the early history of
. cur country, should be again promptly
adopted by Congress and vigorously
supported, until our supremacy on the
seas be fully attained We should
not longer contribute directly or indi-
rectly to the maintenance of the col
ossal marine Of foreign countries, but
provide an efficient and complete ma
1ine of our own. The American peo-
pie in the past have not realized the
awful fact that the United States paid
S50.O00000 more in 1896 to foreign
steamship companies for carrying our
imports and exports than the amount
of taxes collected from internal rev.
enue sources. and S20,000,000 more
than was collected in duties in lS92,
under the Mckinley tariff. In other
words, foreign steamship companies
tax our people for ocean freights more
than they are taxed under the internal
revenue laws, or more than they were
taxed under the Mckinley tariff An
other startling fact is that from 1898
to 1890, the United States paid to Brit
ish ships for carrying American mails
the enormous sum of $50 $50. One
of the causes In the depression of bus
iness is due to the drain of S200,oO0.-
900 annually paid in gold by the peo-
pie Of the United States to foreign
steamship companies for ocean
freights. So long as this continues we
cannot hope for the prosperity and
good times we should have in this
country.
we should also see to it in the fu-
ture that we have a standing army
sufficiently large for a great Republic.
OF course our splendid volunteer forces
can always be relied upon. Indeed, no
<oraver men live anywhere than they,
but we must have a standing army OF
such strength as. to guarantee protec-
ton to this country from sudden at
