WIN ANOTHER PAPER.
DAVENPORT DEMOCRAT WILL
SUPPORT GOLD.
1t Puts the Vital Question In the Cam
psiEn to the Two Candidate. for Con-
rrsss-Left No Choice but to support
the Republican Mr.. Lane.

For more than forty years the Dav-
enpor Democrat has been the foremost
democratic newspaper in Iowa. Its late
euitor, ID. N. Richardson, who died last
summer. was one OF its founders, ard
through good report and evil repor.
neld steadfastly to the principles or
JeHersonian democracy. Its present
owner, j. j. Richardson, was for eight
years, from 1883 to 1886, the Iowa
member of the democratic national
committee.
But In 1896 the Democrat could not
swallow the Chicago popocratic plat
form and in that campaign advocated
the principles laid down at IndlanaEo-
hs. Since that day 1t has strivcn to
prihg Iowa democrats back to their
senses, but without avail. Silver Is
still the idol OF the Iowa democracy
and 10 TO i the party shibboleth
Recognizing the paramount import
ance OF the money question in the con-
gressional elections. the editor of the
democrat has propounded two ques-
tions to the local candidates for con-
gress as follows:
i. In the event of your election to
congress from the Second Iowa district.
would you support legislation, II APP

the policy declared for at Chicago in
1896?
q. Would you. II elected. work and
vote. regardless Of the action of your
party caucus. to maintain and per-
petuate the gold standard?
THE Democrat will be guided In It's
conduct of Its campaign by your an
swer"
To these queries Judge Ney. the dem
ocratic candidate has answered: No.
l. Most decidedly / would" No. 2,
No"
MR.. LANE, THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE ANSWERED. AT ONCE:
ITO THE FIRST PROPOSITION
SAY NO; TO THE SECOND PRoPo-
SITIoN 1 SAY YES"
For the first time In its long and
honorable career the Davenport Demo
crat will support republican for con
gress. and indeed must do so in order
to maintain its own consistency as o
democratic newspaper.
Mr.. Lane will also have the support
of the sound money democrats OF his
district, and they are more numerous
there than in any other part of the
state. That he will be elected there Is
no reason to doubt II the honest money
voters will only turn out.
There is no party politics in this
campaign so far as the congressiona
election is concerned. The only ISSUE
before the people is that comprised II
the questions proposed by the Daven
port Democrat. 1t is business issu'

Of all the people. republican and demo
crat alike. Every candidate through

Declining WOODEN Imports.

The enormous decline in the i'm
ports of woolen goods during the past
year is a clear demonstration of the
benehcent effect of the Republican
Tariff of 1897. During the last year
of the Wilson tariff measure, the i'm
ports of woolen goods reached the
enormous sum OF s4g,160,000. which
drove woolen manufacturers in this
country to despair. The fiscal year
just closed has wrought great
change. the total imports being lesa
than s15.OO0,O00. This means that
during the fiscal year the American
people consumed nearly s35, ,O00, 900
worth of American wooden goods in
excess of the last year OF the Wilson
bill. In other words. American wooden
mills and American labor was bene-
flied to that extent. This is an indus
trial improvement that cannot be de-

ALLEGIANCE OF ooNourRoR.
International Law Hearing on Our New
Colonial Relations


The approaching peace betwaen
Spain andthe United States makes i, of
some interest to consider the legal ef-
,fect OF the cession OF territory by one
state to another. Such cession has
many important consequences In rela.
tion to questions of international re.
lations and constitutional law. MANY
controversies have arisen on such
questions, but some general principles
can be extracted from the tangle of
diplomatic correspondence and iuris.
TIC writings. There can be no doub,
that the inhabitants of conquered ter
ritory become subjects of the states
to which 1t is ceded; but treaties Of
peace commonly give them a right to
retain their former allegiance, though
seldom Internationally. The laws o.
some countries do not allow aliens 10
hold landed property. and as a matter
OF policy states may object to the pres
ence on their soil OF large number
OF persons owing allegiance to for.
eign state. Therefore In treaties Of
cession II is often provided that all
inhabitants who wish to retain their
former allegiance must quit the coun-
try within certain time, sometimes al
. SO dispose of their property. When
Alsace and Lorraine were ceded to Ger
many the inhabitants who wished to
remain French subjects were Obliged
to leave. They were. however. allowed
to retain their landed property. When
California was ceded by Mexico the
United States were more liberal to the
Inhabitants. By the treaty of Guade-
lupe Hidalgo they might within a year
elect to remain Mexican citizens, ani
no restriction was put on their right TO
reside or to retain their property
Naturally all public property in the
ceded territory belonging to the state
is transferred to the new sovereign
AS regards obligations. 1t is commonly
agreed, that in the absence OF express
treaty stipulation no portion OF the
general public debt is transferred with
the territory. There are. however, sew
eral instances of a proportionate share
of the general public debt being trans
ferred by treaty. Other considerations
apply to local debts, and the better
opinion is that they should be taken
over with. the terrltory.-London Law

CANADA COMPARES.
Why tho Dominion Farcd Worse Than
the United States.

Why tho Dominion Farcd Worse Than
the United States.
The extraordinary trade showing of
the United States for the past fiscal
year has attracted attention In Canada,
and our neighbors to the northward
are beginning to ask how 1t is that
In this year of unexampled prosperity
for farm. factory and mill they failed
TO enjoy their due and natural proper
ton. They have begun to institute
comparisons. and they find that ac-
cording to their opportunities they fell
far behind the people on this side of
the line. They were equally fortunate
In having a bountiful yield of agrl-
cultural products and in being able to
sell their surplus at abnormally high
prices. Other things being equal. they
should have been able to surpass the
showing of the United States, for their
percentage of agricultural exports was
greater than that of our country.
But 1t is seen that other things were
not equal, and that therein is to be
found the secret of Canada's discon-
tent She had the best year In her his
tory in the matter of the quantity and
prices of her agricultural exports. and
yet her excess of exports over imports
was only 81 per cent, while the excess
scored by the United States was 100
per cent.
What caused this disparity? Manu-
factures. Canada had very little to
sell outside Of her foodstuffs, and her
imports of foreign merchandise showed
no decrease as compared with former
years. The United States, on the con-
trary, increased her exports of manu-
fnctures alongside OF her tremendous
output of farm products beyond all
previous records. and actually sold to
foreign countries more OF manufac-
tured commodities than she bought OF
them by about s50.OOO.0 900. In the one
case a sensible tariff system operated
to augment the demand for !omestic
products and to diminish the demand
for imported articles. and lett us a
favorable trade balance of ovlr S6l5,-
000, 900. In the case Of Cana6a only
relatively small proportion OF she sur
plus realized from increased exports
remained at home: the remainAer went
abroad, as usual. to pay for imports.
1t was question OF tariffs 3are ana
simple.
