Leaders Are at Sea.

In regard to the tariff and silver the
Democratic party was wrong, and it
knows 1t vas wrong. The reason it
does not admit the fact is because 1t
is not honest.-Kansas City Journal.
This is a little harsh. One reason 1t
does not admit its mistake. it is not in
condition to admit anything. Its lead
ers are at ea-on Il wide and stormy
sea. and in n boat OF stone. with oars
of lead, the rudder lost. and no friendly
port in sight. You might as well say
a mar who has been on a horrible
drunk for a long period is not honest,
because he has no mind to submit to
the dictates of reason. The Democratic
party may sober up after a time; but
present indications are for a consider
able period of crapulency yet-SalSm

Brooklyn. The New York Evenihs
Post chronicles the statement that they

Brooklyn's vote was very fuil anu IL

tire city to be accurately known with

polls.

The result is said to have proved
entirely satisfactory to all honest
Brooklynites and is calculated to
greatly strengthen the faith of all sin

Voting machines have been tried be-
fore in a limited way. That they can
secure an absolutely accurate count

been demonstrated. but so com

a famous epitaph commentaries the
virtues of a Roman woman who. in an
age of ~frivolty, "staid at home and
span her wool" She did not promenade
abroad until her household was clothed
in purple and fine linen of domestic
manufacture. So, with but two inter-
walls in the past generation, the United
States has been engaged in providing
for its own people enough food, enough
clothing, enough manufactures of
every sort to supply every reasonable
American want by the proceeds of
American industry. 1t has stayed at
home and spun its wool with success.
and now it is ready to go abroad in
search of markets for the irrepressible
surplus of its industry.
For a long time we were accustomed
to speak of 1892 as the Mckinley
year" as "the record-breaking year of
exports" But the inevitable trend of
Republican policy has carried us far
and away beyond the figures of 1892.
For example, during the whole fiscal
ttuA VI o o Jul tAppllS VI NOBpVl hIh
copper manufactures were worth ST.
226,392; during the first eight months
of 1898 they were worth $50, 925 ,4S5;
during the first eight months of this
year they have amounted to $25, 49,
O56. Our exports of iron and steel, ex-
elusive of iron ore, were worth $2S.-
SOO,93O during the twelve months of
the fiscal yea 1892. They were worth
s6S, O0S ,071 during the first eight
months of 1899. Our exports of leather
and its manufactures were worth S12,-
0S4, ISL in the whole of 1892, and Sl7,-
413,45S during the first eight months
of the present year.
We exported agricultural implements
to the value of SO, 1874 1888 during the
twelve months elapsing between June
80, 1891, and June 80, 1892, and to the
value of s11 .495. 45O between January
and September, 1899.
A phenomenal increase of exports is
noticeable in almost every branch and
department of manufactures. Stimuli
taneous with this there has been a vast
extension of the production of goods
for home use. Never have the de-
mands of the home market been more
pressing; never have William J. Bry-
ans common people" been so well
fed, SO well clothed. so well housed, so
well supplied with money to spend, as
at present.
But there has been one decrease in
exports. In 1892 our exports of pro-
visions. exclusive of breadstuffs, were

WHY WEGIVETHANKS
REASONS FOR OBSERVING THE
NATIONS FEAST DAY,
rho Exceptional Causes for ~Thanksgiv-
ing Set Forth by President Mckinley
in His Proclamation Appointing Thurs
day. Nov. so, For That Purpose.

The president of the United States
has issued his proclamation naming
Thursday, Nov. 80. 1899, as a day of
general thanksgiving and prayer ito be
observed as such by all our people on
this continent and in our newly ac-
luired islands, as well as by those who
may be at sea or sojourning in foreign
lands." In his customary crisp phrase
Ology, always admirable for its incisiye
iirectness and its freedom from VERDI
age, President Mckinley points out the
facts that support his statement that
Seldom has this nation had greater
cause for profound thanksgiving"
Seldom indeed has this nation, and
never has any other nation, had equal
to give thanks. Here are some
of the causes as set forth in the presi-
dents proclamation:
mo great pestilence has invaded our
shores."
See national election returns 1896,
1898. The pestilence of free trade has
ceased to aflict us.
Liberal employment waits upon
labor"
See American Protective Tariff
leagues Industrial census for March,
1899. showing an increase of 1886 per
cen in amount of labor employed,
54.09 per cent in amount of wages paid
and 1919 per cent in wage rate per
capita.
abundant crops have rewarded the
efforts of the h~usbandman.'
Also higher prices for these crops by
reason of the larger employment and
the greater consuming capacity of
American work people.
Increased comforts have come to the
home"
The people of the United States were
lover before so well fed, so well
clothed. or SO well housed.
The national finances have been
strengthened aud public credit has been
sustained aud made firmer.'
Owing to a sound financial and eco
nomic policy which has increased in
dividual and national wealth to a de-
gree never before known.
"In all branches OF indus ry and trade
''hi' hhN b''h -"
prosp. rity, while there has been IL steady
gain In the moral and educational growth
of our national character. Churches and
schools nave hourished.'
The three things go together: pros
perity morality, Intelligence. These are
conspicuous in Republican policies
and practices.
American patriotism has been ex'
allied"
1t always was and always will be
exalted by a thoroughly American gov
eminent such as hat which now di-
reefs affairs of state.
Such are the chief causes for thank
fulness suggested by the president in
his proclamation. They are splendid
. extraordinary. exceptionalcauses which
appeal to the pride and excite the
qualification of every true American.
! Happy is the fortune of the president
who can cite such an array of reasons
for general thanksgiving. His prede'
cessor in office could not do it foul
years ago.

MIR. Bryan is reported to have APP
plauded a speech of President McKin-
ley at Canton. III. AS the brief address
was principally devoted to the martial
triumphs of this country, and to the
greater triumph of Overcoming the
enemies of prosperity and scattering
their forces, Mr.. Bryan was either
sincere or has decided that prosperity
is something more than a semblance.
The former asserted that this nation
has been greatly blessed. and at this
hour we are a united and prosperous
people" Col. Bryan continues to harp
upon the doleful theme of a suffering
people, ground down by the money
power, plutocrats and octopuses whose
brains and money are actively engaged
in the work of depressing labor. Facts
and conditions prove which of the two
men is right.-Tacoma (Wash.) Led
