some of our Democratic cx-
changes are lauding Congressman
Robb because he has opposed a
private claim bill involving a few
Thousand dollars. Still Robb is no
economist, he opposed the claim
bill only because he wanted a
cheap reputation as guardian Of
the national treasury before enter
ing upon his campaign for re-elec-
ton. 1t should not be forgotten
that last winter Robb presented a
bill in the House to loot the treas
ury of $780, 900, under the pretense
that he wanted the money for
the improvement of some absolute
lv unnayigible stream somewhere
in his district. The expenditure OF
this large sum of money would
not have improved the stream much,
but it might have strengthened
Robb's political fences in that To-
cality considerably. Let's hear
some more about Mr.. Robb's eco
nomical proclivitics.

has arrived before Santiago. and
arrangements are being made to
land it. 1t it thought the dcbarka-

There is little reason to doubt
that the entire amount of the $500 :

people. Larger loans than this
have been subscribed by the people
of France, and there is more
wealth, though less frugality
and economy, among the masses
in this country than in those of
France. The average wageworker
earns far more here than he does
there, but the necessity for saving
is not so incessant and imperative.
This loan has many attractions.
The 3 per cent rate of interest
which will be paid is about as high
as the savings bank or any other
furnish. The prosperity which
has come to the country since the
destruction of the silver menace in
November, 1896, has made money
plentiful, and has immensely in
creased the governments financial
stability and credit. This loan

A Loan That Is Popular.

The 5000, 900, 900 which the Sec
rotary of the Treasury asks the
people to lend to the government
is popular loan in the strictest
sense Of that term. The fact that the
denominations of the bonds run as
low us $50 brings them within
reach of the great majority of per-
sons. Anybody Who has $40 to
spare can buy one Of these bonds
with but very little trouble and
with NO cost to himself. Bonds can
be had of national and state banks,
money order post offices: sub
treasures and express Offices
throughout the country, without
extra charge to the purchaser. In
this transaction syndicates and
brokers do not figure. The individ-
ual lender deals directly with the
government. No favoritism what
ever is shown, except that the syn
dicatcs will have chance to get
some of the bonds if the individual
purchasers fail to take all of them.
In this case. in fact, the small pur-
chasers, the masses of the people.
are the favored persons.
By this loan the individual citi.
zen will be able to feel that he has
Il new and direct interest in the
fortunes Of the government. He
can now realize that he is contribut-
ing to the defense of the nation,
though he is not member of either
its army or its navy. The fruits OF
his industry and thrift are here uti.

OUR Democratic friends recog-
nize and appreciate the Journals
influence in the politics of the

some one bobs up as a writer for

to ncutralizc the influence cxcrted
by the "Journal." A few hot shots
from our thirtccn-inch guns and
these writer's usually set up the cry

THE most opposition to the an
ncxation of Hawaiian Islands
comes from the Democrats. A
glance at history shows that over
two thirds of all the United States
domain was acquired during the
time the Democrats were in power,
either by purchase or by conquest.
The only territory acquired under
Republican rule is Alaska. This
would make it appear that the
Democrats are not very consistent
in their opposition to the Hawaiian
movement.

ACCORDING to the Bryanitcs,
whenever wheat goes to q dollar
per bushcI this result is entirely
due to the law of supply and de-
mand; but when wheat is down to
80 cents, that low price is entirely
due to the dcmonctization of silver
by the Republicans a quarter of Il
century ago. What kind of fools
do our Bryanite friends take the
American farmers to be, anyway

THE ''Valley Democrat and
Journal" the organ of the six
teen to one or bust element Of
Missouri's Democracy, appears to
fear that the party is about to let
slip its hold on the Chicago plat
form and get back to the old track.
Gov. Stephens is accused of engin-
ccring this move and is of course
denounced rs a gold bug. There
will probably be a warM time in
the Democratic State Convention
when the platform resolutions are
presented. The ''Valley Democrat
and Journal evidently fears that
the only way for the Democrats to
carry Missouri is for the party to
support the Chicago platform and
make another deal with the Popu-
lists. This deal cannot he made if
the Democrats separate themselves
from the Chicago platform and get
back to- the Democracy Of Tilden,
Cleveland and Carlisle rs the Pop
ulist arc not Democratic enough to
accept Democratic principles with
the same alacrity that the Demo
Gratis swallowed Populist plat
form for fusion's sake.
