THE PRESIDENTS PLATFORM.
Plainly Declared by Mr. Mckinley
In His Speeches In the
South.

President Mckinley, while travelling
through states which voted for BRYAN.
said at Savannah: "Our financial and
revenue policies cannot be changed for
at least four years, and whatever legis-
lation may be had affecting them dur
ing that period will be to improve and
strengthen, not destroy them" That
was plain-spoken enough for anybody.
And the president proceeded to say
why 1t should be so. Internal dissen-
slons, as between parties and policies,
must cease while the country without
regard to party unitedly meets the for
eign problems which newly present
themselves.
The president somewhat slyly init
mated that even those who might de
sire different internal polcies-and
cannot get them-have the satisfaction
of sharing in the prosperity that comes
from confidence in permanence, and
from absence of the fear of change.
Having thus arnuonced the platform
to which he and his party and the ma
jority of his fellow-citizens are devoted
for internal affairs, the president gave
his views of what may be called the
country's foreign policy. These views
were ennobled because they took for
their handspring the purpose conveyed
in these words The chief considera-
tion is one of duty" The president.
boldly declaring his policy as favoring
the retention of the Philippines made
one of the most concise summaries Of
argument yet presented when he said:
Can we leave these people who, by the
fortunes of war and our own acts, are
helpless and without government, to
chaos and anarchy after we have de-
stroyed the only government they have
had?" 1t was 4 quite memorable say
ing when he remarked: "Whatever
covenants duty has made for us in the
year 1898 we must keer." And the
encouragement for this resolve was
found in the fact that final success
in cause which is altogether unselfisn
and humanitarian can only be de-
terred, not prevented
1t becomes a historical picture wheL
the president of the United States takes
the occa sion of a visit to a section of
the country once in revolt to declare
frankly the policy and its declaration
are timely. The country is thus given
large disclosure of where it is and
whittier it is tending.-lroy Times.

OUR CHEAP MONEY.
A Direct Result of the sound
Money Policy of Re
pubIicans.

Heretofore those advocating the free
ard independent coinage of silver have
based one of their favorite arguments
upon the assumption that the United
States is a borrowing nation, and that
a cheap and larger volume of money a
home was necessary to deliver the
American people ou1 of the grip of the
foreign money lender. We were told
that a gold policy was the policy OF
foreign money lenders and would sure
ly make us their slaves. Many people
were led to believe this assumption.
We have been a debtor nation. but that
day is of the past. The latest evidence
that such is not the case and that the
United States have become not only
creditor nation, but one of the worlds
financial centers, is presented in the
statement of Mr.. Ec}iels and in the fact
that Russia has passed by Berlin and
LCndon and made an effort to PLACE her
bonds in the United States. In financial
circles it is said that 'money is the
cheapest thing in America" This is NOT
true of New York alone but it is true in
a degree here in indianapolis, when q
ten-year municipal bond bearing 31a
FER cent. has been sold to local financial
houses at the equivalent of 3.22 per
cent.
The causes of this abundance Of
cheap and good money in the United
States have been told many times. We
are producing $4,000, 900 in gold an
nualIy and it stays at home. The pay
uents of dividends and interest on
stocks and bonds will set 500. 1000, ,O0J
afloat. To pay off a portion of the
money due us as balance in trade S75,-
100000 came to us during October and
November. Much more is yet due us,
because a favorable trade balance seems
TO have been permanently established.
This opinion is not based upon the as
sumption that we will always he selling
Europe so large volume of breadstuffs
and provisions as now, but because we
have come to the condition when we can
sell the outside world as much in value
of manufactured goods as foreigners
| sell to us. For years the excess of our
| imports of manufactured merchandise
| has been so large that it has taken all of
our surplus of the products of the soil
republican policy, we are a great com.
| petitor in the world of manufactures as
well as the products of the soil. Be
cause of that policy and by reason OF its
| great fight in 1896 against the silver
! heresy, the United States is to-day
creditor nation.-Indianapo Journal,

NEBRASKA WELCOMES BRYAN.

You are coming, Col. Bryan. from the sick
ly southern swamp,
And well be on hand to greet you with
some military pomp;
Though you faced no Mauser bullets, flying
thicklS through the air,
No one blarnes you, Col. Bryan. for you
wanted tn be there.
You are comirg, Col. Bryan, frCm the
scenes of war and strife
Tc enjoy the better portion of peaceful
civil life:
When you come in all your glory. VIII you
rest till you are strong,
And then wake the western echoes with
your old free silver song?
You are coming, Col, Bryan. and l hope
you'n state to me
What your secret plan and purpose for the
future is to be;
Will you take the lecture platform to OBJ
tain your daily bread?
Will the ones who go to hear you put up
so cents a head?
You are coming, Col. Bryan. and I'm glad
to see you come,
Far from miasmatic regions and the blare
of fife and drum:
You had military lockjaw, so they tell me,
in the south
Do you come back, Col, Bryan, to do battle
with your mouth?
You are coming, Col. Bryan, to Nebraska,
that is plain
We will bid you hearty welcome. we will
meet you at the train.
That we are glad to see you you are very
sure to find,
But our hearts are somewhat heavy for the
boys you left behind.
Will you suffer, Col. Bryan, any pangs to
speak about
When you think of the dear comra des you
have left to tough 1t out?
Did you think how sadly, colonel, these
young heroes would be missed
In the homes they left behind them when
you asked them to enlist?
You are coming. Col. Bryan-this glad fact
is fully known,
But you started with a thousand and are
coming back alone.
That is where the old shoe pinches-that' :
what veXeS and annoys-
And were I in your plavc, colonel, | would
never leave the boys

THE SPIRIT OF PROGRESS.
An American Birthright That ca
Iamity How rrs Cannot DRunt
Nor Spoil.

President Mckinley said in a historic
document that the purpose of this
country was not aggressive. The docu
ment itself and the results which fol-
lowed it proved that while the national
spirit is not aggressive it is progressive.
When the way is opened, as it has beer
during the present year by the course
of inevitable events, the American peo-
pie must go forward, and will. 1t is
as useless to try to stop this movement
as it would be to attempt to check
the rising tide from flooding every
opened channel. The forward move
ment is in the blood.
That this indomitable progress is the
American birthright was illustrated
conspicuously at the annual dinners of
the New England societies of New York
and Brooklyn. The societies them
selves are witnesses to the persistence
from generation to generation of the
spirit of the Aaytower. The men who
were present at the dinners were the
most recent leaders in the advance
movement. At the New York dinner
were Gen. Merritt, Gems. Shafter and
Wheeler, Col. Roosevelt Capt Taylor,
Of the Indiana, and others who have
carried the flag across seas because the
American spirit of progress was in
them and with them and behind them.
Gov-elect Roosevelt, who could speak
as type of both civic and military vic
tories, with great pertinence traced the
sea victories of 1898 back to the sea
crossing of 1920, to the stock (which
carried the Bible in one hand and in
the other the sword" THE good man
who cannot make his virtue practical" ,"
said Col. Roosevelt, counts for very
little in the community"
The Puritan who, as has been hu-
mcrously said, first fell upon his
knees and then upon the aborigines, -
did both because he could not help il.
1t was the union of faith and works, on
which the worlds progress has been
based. 1t was "the sword of the Lord
and of Gideon" The sun drives away
the clouds, and the rushing breeze the
deadly vapors of stagnation, without
any apologies. Men Of thought and
men of action" must clear the way. 1t
is the pioneer making the clearing.
Spain should have kept her fences in
order and her cattle off the track. The
train cannot stop to save material for a
bullfght.
This idea of the compulsion of the in
ward sense of duty has not been put
with more forcible concIseness than by
Col. Roosevelt when he said at Brook
lyn: Il have scant sympathy with that
mock humauitarianism which would
prevent the great, free, liberty-loving
races of the earth from doing their duty
in the worlds waste spaces because
there must be some rough surgery at
the outset. Troy Times.

DESPITE the growing difficulty of
finding space for the interment of pub

family still enjoys a prescriptive right
of burial there. These are the dukes OF
Northumberland who have the ex-
elusive use of spacious vault in the

the Seymours, was opened as recently
as 1888 to receive the remains of Lady

THERE are now 80 young women
studying at the college of agriculture,
in Minneapolis. They are entered for
the three-year course in farming and
are to study side by side with the men,
except that, instead of blacksmithing
carpentry and military drill, they will
be taught sewing, laundry work and
cooking. Until now, young women
who desired course in agriculture
had to solace themselves with such in
struction as they could gain during the
summer months when the men were
away. This year their fortunes have
changed.

ditures of the United States shows
that the total receipts for December
were $41,404,79 as compared with
