The Herald admires Bryan's am
bition to be a soldier SO long as that
ambition is actuated by patriotism,
but we do not and cannot admire him
as soldier when he lifts up his voice
in criticism of the President, his com
mander-in- chief The first duty of a
soldier is obedience to his superior
officer and no one is a true soldier
who does not in his every act mani
fest perfect obedience. Col. Bryan,
the soldier, is not w. J. Bryan, the
politician.

A CONFLICT OF OPINION.

Senator Faulkner is quoted as say
ing that he should oppose the New
lands resolution unless it sht be
determined by the government to re-
tain possession OF Porto Rico and the
Philippine islands, and any other ter
ritory, outside OF Cuba, which we may
capture from Spain.
In that event he will favor the ac-
QUESTION OF the Hawaiian islands.
The Senator excerpts Cuba because, as
he says, the United States has under
taken to establish an independent
government there. He regards Cuba
as territory which can be American
lied within few years, and believes
it will become wealthy and important
in a commercial sense.
In opposition to the Senator's pa
triotic utterance comes the States
man with quotation from speech
made by General Merritt in which he
believes ''in the new national policy
of the United States which looks to
the acquisition of additional territory,
represented in outlying islands that
are requisite for the development of
national strength and growth, and
which is criticised by the Statesman.
"Does he speak by the card, and is
there indeed new national poll
cy' such as he described" And furth-
er-
"a policy such as foreshadowed
in General Merritt's speech, and
which would involve a complete
change in our political traditions,
should certainly not be permitted to
be adopted without protest from those
conservative Americans who have not
been overcome by the lust of conquest.
In the interest of the future welfare o.
the American democracy the Anti
Imperialists should begin to speak
out. D"
The Herald wishes to reply that il
there is not now such a policy there
soon will be. Senator Faulkner stat
ed the case exactly. The war which
the Statesman advocated so vocifer-
ously can lead to no other result.
We are perfectly we'll aware that the
Statesman and others of the Popocrat-
ic crowd thought to create a breach in
the Republican ranks; to force a con
flict between the President and his
party, Just as the silverites disrupted
the Democratic party when President
Cleveland refused to obey their behest.
And further, when the populistic
voice, pitching itselfto patriotic key,
for hostilities with Spain, was the
precipitation of condition that would
force the government to recognize the
false pretensions of silver To this
reckless device the believers in Bryan
and Organism in congress resorted.
Pretended love of country and spur
ious declaration of humane motives,
covered a raid upon the finances of the
country that rocked not of conse-
quences and was animated solely by
the lowest order of selfshness.
Thanks to the firmness of the Pres
ident and the good sense of a majority
of the Senate, among whom was SEN
ators Elkins and Faulkner, their game
was blocked, seeing which their pa
triotism" dissolved like tire Spanish
fleet at Manila before brave Dewey's
gallant squadron.
Nipped in the bud, as were the Pop
ocratic schemes, the editor of the
Statesman cannot understand why
any Democrat should assist in this
Republican war"

every Republican in the First District,
and relegate him to private life tor
all time.
In a card over his signature, pub
lished in the Moundsville Herald, Mr.,
Campbell deplores the early assem-
bling of the convention, which he says
was brought about "by a Congress
sional Committee composed in chief
by postmasters with and without
proxies; by gentlemen who are sought
to be held in line by promises of post
offices for their friends, and by the
personal and political friends of the
Congressman" There is more of the
same tenor. In fact his effort appears
to be to place kindling wood on every
little blaze of discomfort and start a
confagration Of antagonism against
the party organization in the district
which will produce a condition akin
to anarchy.
In these days party success can on
ly be secured by close and perfect or
ganization. Without organization,
the State would never have been re-
deemed from Democratic rule. With
out party loyalty, Judge Campbell
would never have been honored with
place and position. Without earnest
party workers William Mckinley
would not now be President. To de-
stroy the organization by casting cal
umnies at the men who have gained
former victories is to invite defeat in
the future.
Should Judge Campbell be success
full in his preliminary canvass, could he
expect success at the polls without the
assistance of the men he maligns?
We think not. Does he not know,
he would be compelled to rely on the
votes of Mr.. Dovener's friends? Is he
not aware that they, were they so dis
posed, could compass his defeat?
These are serious, practical questions
propounded in good faith.
Again. Was it crime for Mr..
Dovener to reward his party friends,
the men who made his election
certain Granted he may have erred
in some instances, who has not ?
With the few positions at his disposal,
how was it possible for him not to
offend some Should that be i'm
puted to him as a crime? He is the
true Republican, who, though de-
feated in his aspirations, stands firm
for the party of his choice as loyal
man will do. Such an one is Mr..
Dovener Though often defeated he
never finched or swerved a hair S
breadth from the path OF true Repub-
| licanism.
The party is slow to honor man
who impugns the loyalty of others.
In other words, had Mr.. Campbell
been in Mr.. Dovener's position, could
he, would he have done other than as
Mr.. Dovener did?

When Senator Elkins kicked

w en- Senator Elkins kicked
against the Cleveland plan OF placing
loans he builded more wisely than
many alleged statesmen thought.
They told him he would exhibit our
poverty in all its nakedness. Well,
he had his way and now there's none
to say him nay or suggest any other
method than to give the people, who
can always be depended upon in an
emergency, chance to manifest
their patriotism whether it's men or
money that the Nation needs.

1t is anything but pleasant for the
Herald to criticise Republican, espec-
tally one who has heretofore pos
sessed our highest esteem, but Judge
John A. Campbell, of Brook county,
who aspires to seat in Congress now
occupied by Hon. B. b. Dovener is
taking a course in his campaign which
should down him in the estimation of

PROTECTION VS.. FREE TRADE.


Some time since advocates of Free
Trade insisted that they desired to see
practical application of their theory,
and if it failed to bring prosperity, II
it failed to produce revenue, if it
brought less of comfort and happiness
work and wages--to individuals
and the Nation than Protection, then
they would ever after be Protection
lists.
The Wilson bill was the nearest APP
proach to Free Trade that the country
has been compelled to endure. In
stead Of prosperity it brought distress,
instead of more work and better wages
it brought idleness, poverty, desola-
ton and hunger. Instead Of comfort
and happiness it brought bankruptcy
and ruin to the manufacturer, mer-
chant and mechanic, the farmer, min
er and laborer-all classes and condi-
tions. Above and beyond all it failed
to produce revenue.
AS day follows night an era of Pro-
lection was ushered in, and the bright
sunlight OF Prosperity burst upon the
land. Mills and mines and factories
resumed operations, giving more
work and better wages. Since the
people had money with which to buy,
farm products advanced in price and
that mortgage which had held the
farmer in its grip like an ugly night
mare was canceld. Trade expanded,
revenues increased, a mighty stream
of gold poured in upon us. Then
came the war with Spain. 1t found
us unprepared except in one particu-
lar--we had money with which to buy
and unlimited credit. How different
from the condition of affairs four
years previous! Then the admins
tration was compelled to borrow in
time of profound peacel
But it is not proposed to discuss
that phase of the subject. We desire
to show bow we grew poor under
Free Trade and are growing rich un-
der Protection. In 1895 the excess of
imports OF manufactured goods over
exports was $G2I,4I3, 900; in 1896 i'm
ports exceeded exports by $Io4,795,
900; in 1897 the excess was reduced
to SGT, 800, 900, and tor the first
ten months of this fiscal year lending
June 3o) the exports of manufactured
goods exceeded imports by more than
$40, 900, 900. 1t is estimated that the
full year, all of which except one
month will be under the Dingley law,
will show balance in our favor of at
least $50, 900, 900. So much for a Pro-
tective tariff as producer of a balance
of trade on the right side of the ledger
-$I7I 900, 900 better than 1895.
Now as to revenue: 1t will be re-
membered that the Wilson law was a
Tariff for Revenue measure. 1t went
into effect August, 1895, and the Din
gley law, August, 1897. A compar-
ison of February, March and April,
1896 and 1898 cannot be other than
fair. Let us see how the account
stands:

Post. One of its handsome features
is the splendid Republican majority

No one ever thinks Of a funk there
and we have not a doubt that the
Post, always steady and true, is en-
titled to large share of the credit for
that very commendable condition.

WILSON FREE TRADE LAW.

Another remarkable fact We are
now in the midst OF an expensive war,
and have been for three months past,
and gold is abundant. There is no
scarcity of the yellow metal for any
purpose, and reports from abroad are
that there's more to follow. Suppose
the war had struck us while the Will
son law was on the statute books
The mere contemplation of such a
calamity causes one to shiver.
Note another fact: When Cleve-
land sold his first batch of bonds, al
though they bore 4 per cent interest
he barely received par value for them
and that was a time of profound peace.
Now, 3 per cent bonds are grabbed at,
and that, too, at premium.
Strangest of all things; There are
those in this country who continue to
vote the Democratic ticket Honest,
now, isn't it absolutely Incompetent
sible' With this fact staring us in
the face, it is not hard to believe that
there were those who demanded that
the Savior of mankind should be
