Ready for Conquest.
That sterling American. Senator q.
X. Davis of Minnesota, who has gone
to Paris to enter upon his duties as a
member of the peace commission, de-
l!vered a significant address ON the oc-
CASTOR Of a large public meeting held
in his honor in Minneapolis the evening
of Sept. Z. Senator Davis took strong
ground in favor of retaining to the full
est extent the territory won by the
United States as the result of the war
with Spain, aud in that connection
said:
To-day the American markets are
within the grasp of American indus
tries. and the American hand is feeding
the American mouth. Nor is this all,
for to-day u manufactured products
are seeking the markets Of the world.
The markets of the world comprise the
1.40O,O00.O00 human beings which the
world contains. and 1t is in this market
that American manufacturers are COM
peting, as the natural result of a wise
projections"
Herein is ~crystallized the great fact
of Americas splendid position: First,
the safe grasp of the great home mar
ket; second. the successful search for
outlets into the markets of the world.
The first condition makes the second
possible. Having firmly entrenched
themselves at home, American indus
tries may now feel c in their base
Of operations and confidently go forth
conquering and to conquer.
No army of peaceful progress was
ever so grandly equipped and fortified.
Then aud Not Before.
Before we can witness n shipbuilding
boom in the United States, some pro-
lection or preference must be shown
for u ships in competition with for
eign ships. The American standard Of
wages must be maintained ON sea rs
we'll as on land, and the standard OF
living on American shipboard must not
be reduced to the level of living on for
eign ships. When these differences
are made good by government legisla-
ton, then we may look for utilization
Of our abundant resources for the re-
vival Of American shipping in the for
eign trade, but not beforc.-New York

~ Mckinlcy's Great Achievement.
In the midst of all the worry about
camps and soldiers, President McKin-
ley has the satisfaction Of knowing
that he has conducted Il grand anu sue
cessful war, and that all the so-called
mistakes are mere notes in the sun
beam of achievement which shall illu-
inmate through future years a glorious
page in the worlds history. Every
American knows this, is proud of 1t,
and will get pro,lder as time passes.-

Set Forward One Hundred Years.
In a sermon delivered recently Rev.
Edward Everett Hale characterized the
recent war as one of the great wars
of the ages" and added: "In one hum
dred days God had set forward the civ:
illzation Of the world one hundred
years. The lesson of the war is like
the last flash from n thunderstorm; the
lesson Of peace on earth. good will
among men" How much more patriot
lie that than furnishing interviews to
partisan papers to prove that the war
was q failure.
Quick Fortunes for faupcrs.
A few years ago, according to the
ropulisl howl in Kansas. thee people

pertation of wool shoddy, waste, ETC.,
was over 400.O00,OO0 pounds during tho
fiscal year ending June 80, 1898, includ-
Ing the wool in bond. Only 135,O0o,-

Costs Too Much.
Let the electors next November bear
in mind the pains and penalties of a
Popocratic administration and indorse
the economic success Of the Republican

of the traces and displace the old party
from power, it costs too much.-Iin-
