American capital is being rapid
ly invested in the islands which
have of late come under the con-.
troll of the United States Govern
ment. The business men of the
country realize that we have to
send abroad $3.50, 100000 a year
for tropical products, and think
they might as well get their share
of the profits from the production
of these articles, every dollars
worth of which can be grown in
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines, and thus keep this vast
sum of money within our own bor-
ders instead of distributing it to
the outside world every year.

The old soldiers of the war of
1S61-5 have no patience with the
fault-fnders in the so-called Demo
cratic party to-day. General Dan
Sickles, who was in Washington
the other day, said:
Il have always been Democrat
and always expect to be one, but
Bryanism is not the faith of the
old-time leaders Of the party. /
would scorn myself were | to pre-
tend to endorse such principles as
were embodied in the Chicago
platform, which has already nearly
made shipwreck of the Democratic
party; and if put forward again,
will be more overwhelmingly
crushing than in 1896"

Low-tariff advocates who are
fond of reiterating the threadbare
assertion that protection destroys
our markets abroad should take
look at the figures of our foreign
commerce for the month of Octo-
Der and compare them with the
good old low-tariff days under the
Wilson law. The October exports
in 1899 were S126, 764, 7S6, while
in 1894, the first October after the
enactment of the Wilson law they
were SS3,653, 121, and in 1895
SS7, ,090,972 For the twelve
months ending with October 1899,
they were 81, 1916, $50, ,S45, against
$500, $40, ,2S9 in the twelve months
ending with October, 1895, under
Wilson law.

THE German government has
set at rest effectually the
rumors of n purpose on its part,
directly or indirectly. to embar-
rass the United States in the
Philippine Islands. and has
given a signal manifestation of
its desire TO promote the most
cordial relations between Ger
many and the United States by
ordering the withdrawal of all
vessels of its navy from Phil
ippine waters and placing the
lives and property of its sub
iects there under the projection
of the United States government.
The action taken is regarded
as Il stroke in diplomacy
by which will be removed all
possibility of clash between
German and American interests

To any Americans who enter

The fact that weeks have been
spent by three Legislative bodies

that these officials should be

now drawing to a close, have
been WASTED. and no restlts are

That means something to you
something in dollars if you buy
your shoes here, because we certain

gathering of SO many shoes.
Once in awhile we find that il
