Ready for Conquest.
That sterling American, Senator c.
X. Davis of Minnesota, who has gone
to Paris to enter upon his duties as
member of the peace commission, de-
livered significant address on. the oc-
casion Of 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, and 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 our manufactured products
are seeking the markets of the world.
The markets Of the world comprise the

world contains, and it is in this market
that American manufacturers are COM

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

tries may now feel secure 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 and Not Before.
Before we can witness shipbuilding
boom i'll the United States, some pro-
lection or preference must be shown
for our ships in competition with for
eign ships The American standard Of
wages must be maintained on sea as
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-
v1val of American shipping in the for
eign trade, but not before-New York

,,Mckin1ey'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 grand and 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 glorious
page in the worlds history. Every
American knows this, is proud of it,
and will get prouder as time passes

Set Forward One Hundred Years.
In a sermon delivered recently Rev.
Edward Everett Hale racterized the
recent war as lone of the great wars
of the ages" and added: ''In one hun
dred days God had set forward the civ
ilization Of the world one hundred
years. The lesson Of the war is like
the last flash from thunderstorm; the
lesson of peace on earth, good. will
among men," How much more patriot
ic that than furnishing interviews to
PARTISAN papers to prove that the war
was failure.
Quick Fortunes for Faupers.
A few years ago, according to the
Populist howl in Kansas, the people
were paupers, but things have changed.
Now, in the platform of the state con-
vention, the Populists are demanding
that the state insure the property of
the people at a small cost. That is,
In eight years the former paupers have
accumulated property and desire the
state to insure their buildings against
fire.
Farmers Can Understand 1t.
Under the Democratic tariff the inn
portation of wool shoddy, waste, ETC.,
was over 4OO,0OO,00O pounds during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1898, includ-
ing the wool in bond. Only 135,000,-
600 pounds Of wool was imported. The
farmers of this nation can readily I'M
derstand the great benefit of the pro-
tective tariff. -Wauseon (Ohio) Repub-
