REPUBLICS and REPUBLICS.

1t should never be taken for granted
by Americans that every government
calling itself a republic is entitled to
the right-hand of fellowship, and every
monarchical government considered as
despotic in dealing with its subjects.
There is not to-day n republic with
the exception of Switzerland entitled to
go in the same democratic class with
the United States. In Switzerland the
government goes much further in social
features than hat of this country.
There have been worthy efforts to es-
tablish true republics in South America
and Spain, but there have been more
cases in which the term has been used
only to win support to men who prom
ised much but meant only to make
themselves sovereigns. The Transvaal
is not a republic in the liberal sense OF
the word, and is only an oligarchy. Ger
tainly it cannot be claimed hat Mexico
is more than a country with a dictator.
On the contrary, Great Britain, though
a monarchy, gives less power to the
CROWN lndll Is GheIClStu ny the pIeSl-
dents of the Transvaal, Mexico and the
South American bogus republics, and
even less in many respects than is en-
joyed by the president of the United
States. But neither the people of this
country, of England nor Switzerland
secured their present liberal forms of
government in a day, by an uprising or
by proclamations. They gradually
learned the art of self-government and
became irresistible, while the people Of
the countries which seek to pose as re-
publics have not learned to govern
themselves when they make a spasmod-
ic effort to follow a new system, to
which they have given little study while
bowling supinely to the will of despots
backed by armies and men who carry
out the whims. wishes and wrongs Of
rulers who have no sense of RESPONSE
bility to the people.

Free Trade With American Colonies,

The beet sugar manufacturers of this
country propose to join with the cigar
makers and protest to congress- against
the products of colonial possessions of
the United States being permitted free
entry at American ports. 1t is difficult
to see how justice is to be done to the
islands acquired by this country and
/ their settlement by Americans encour-
aged if the line is to be drawn in the
matter of imports. There would have
been about as much justice in it had
this government held that the products
of New Mexico, acquired from a for
eign government, and at the time occu-
pied by an alien people, should not be
permitted to be sold in the states with
out paying a duty for the privilege Of
crossing the territorial line. This would
have classed the territory with Canada
in the matter of commerce, and effec-
tually shut out the wool and other prod
ucts of the people in New Mexico in or
der to aid those residing in the states,
and would have prevented the ad-
vancement of the new territory, kept
settlers from coming from the states,
prevented the development of the coun
try, compelled it to remain a source Of
great expense to the general govern
ment, and not led to the assimilation of
the native people, who certainly could
never have become attached to a ma
tion which Disseminated against them
in the matter of trade. Undoubtedly the
free admission of the products of the
islands will in some cases affect the
prices realized by some producers in
this country, but as the demand and
consumption are increasing more rapid
ly than the production of either sugar
or tobacco, the effect is not likely to be
so disastrous as the representatives Of
these staples fear. And as trade which
will be built up in the islands by unre-
stricted commerce will create a mar
ket for cotton and other products Of
American farms, as well as manufac7
tured articles from this country, the
loss here will be more than evened up
by the arrangement. Certainly the
United States, having acquired islands
which were permitted and encouraged
to grow products for a mother country,
and which did not have to pay for the
privilege of marketing them, will not
starve the dependent people by denying
them privileges from which they can
now be cut off by Spain, since it is not
citizens Of that country who will in the
future be the producers and merchants
of the islands if America proposes TO
reap the benefits of ownership.
OF course, the government could not
have exacted customs upon the prod
ucts of New Mexico after it became
American soil, for the federal constitu-
ton forbids, and the same is true of the /
new island possessions, though it may |
be necessary for congress to take action
before the customs laws can be put into |
practice as to the colonies,

As a Democratic Senator Sees Il,

Kansas has attracted attention
through freak senators and congress-
men in the past, and now a Democratic
senator from that state has distin.
guished himself in a manner that marks
him as a man with individuality. In Il
recent interview Senator w. A. Harris
tacitly admitted that his party has not
the esteem of the country, and that it
must earn it by different methods than
those upon which the most of the Dem
ocratic politicians rely.
IF the Democratic party wants to
gain the confidence and good will of the
American people it must be something
more than a party of negation,' said he.
Mastery inactivity Is not going to win
the political battles of the future, and
being simply in opposition to the Re-
publicans isn't going to get electoral
votes in the next campaign"

A e STATE PAPER,
WA Shin.ptOp Tin,aC


The message of the president of the
United States to the f1fty-sixth con-
gress, presented and read in the senate
and house of representatives, is a docu-
ment which will live in history as one
of the ablest as well as one of the most
interesting and voluminous state pa
pers which has yer emanated from the
executive mansion. On the strength Of
such a hasty glance at it's recitals, ar
guments and recommendations as we
have been able to give it since the text
was given to the press this morning, we
are much inclined to call it a great mes
sage. We have no doubt whatever that
1t is truly and fully so in many respects.
1t is a strong and able state paper, and
we are unable to find a weakened line
in 1t on any Of the matters which in
volve the honor of the flag or the inter-
ests or imperial position of the United
States anywhere on the face Of the
earth.

Another Notable Expansionist.

General John B. Gordon, ex-governor
Of Georgia, another of the war idols of
the south, and one of the most popular
senator's the southern state ever had, is
the latest among the Democrats to pub
licly 60 - record with a fervent speech
in favor of the retention of the Philip
pine islands as a matter of right and
of business. General Gordon is the pres
ident of the Confederate veterans, and
his position can be accepted as repre-
senting the feelings Of the old soldiers
of the south. The entire people of the
country, with the exception OF a few
contrary ones, who think upon general
principles they should oppose the
wishes of the majority, and a few more
who hoped TO win political success by
opposing the administration, believe III
keeping all that American arms Won
and American coin bought. So far no
directors to this course have been found
among men who aver carried arms in
war. Copperhead cranks and a few an
cient goody-goody relics are the only
ones who would have the Philippines
loose in their hour of need.

The kailsaA senator points out the
right course to be pursued, but he is an
optimist of the warmest hue if he thinks
the Democratic leaders will follow his
advice. 1t is because the most of them
are incapable of accomplishing any
thing the country needs that they are
in the ranks of the Democracy. The
party attracts the negative element. 1t
has been a party of negation for so long
that the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary. Usually when a man
gets over this negative condition he
drifts away from the majority of his
associates, There may yet come the
time when a nat who is broad
enough to see that his party is off in be-
ing opposed to everything under the
sun that Republicans favor or originate
viii work with the party of progress
and action.

THE GOLD SUPPLY.

lSl. Louis
If that South African war had not oc-
CURED a good deal of gold would prob
ably be coming to the United States
from Europe at this time. Still, the lack
Of an inflow of gold is not going to do
any harm to the country. The treasury
and the banks have more of the metal
on hand at the present time than they
can make profitable use of, and the con-
dition three months hence, if changed at
all, will probably be changed for the
better. Nobody in this country is trou-
bling himself about gold these days,
which is a very agreeable change from
the situation in the Democratic days Of
control of the government three or four
years ago. While the Republicans re-
main in power the gold in the treasury
and banks will be secure, and the Re
publicans are likely to hold the govern
mert for q long time in the future.

vanced age-he is about Tbs an argu-
ment which is used against him by the

his party, to which he technically be-
longs. The country. without distinction

INTERNATIONAL AMITY.

(NeW orleans Ifmes-Democrat.)
h friendship between the United
and Great Britain was practical
ly ratified when Salisbury's refusal to
join the continental powers in their pro-
States and Spain in the early part of the
year 1898 gave a quietus to that con-
templated movement; and there has
been nothing but interchanges of cour-
tesies and civilities, and continual ey-
pressions of friendly regard between the
great representative nations of ths
race since that time.

Last year the Democrats thought
prosperity was due only to big crops in
this country and a scarcity in Europe.
But this yea the country has even
greater prosperity, with official reports
showing a remarkable decrease in the
principal crops. The business of the
country is larger, and it's profits are
better, and it's confidence and prosperity
is keener than one year or two years
ago, when crop conditions were pecul-
iarly favorable. Records of commerce
and industry show that the gain over
last year in business done or hands en-
ployed has been greater than the gain
of last year over 1897 or 1896. For exam.
pie, the volume of all business trans
acted through clearing houses in nine
months of 1896 was $37, 1888, 900, 900, and
$40, 353, 900, 900 in 1897, and $40, 1862, 900, 900
In 1898, and 500, 4O1, 900, 900 in 1899, so that
for every 800 paid in 1895 there was
paid sos in 1897 and $1Sl in 1898 and
1855 In 1899.

BRITISH PARAMOUNTCY IN AT

ANNN u IAlDuiS.J
Whether it be desirable or not, British
paramountcy in South Africa seems to
be assured. 1t would have been practi
cally certain had there been no war and
had the two Boer states been made and
maintained absolutely independent, and
it will be, if possible, the more certain
after they have been beaten in wal and
compelled to acknowledge the political
supremacy of Great Britain. And that
will not be merely because of Great
Britain's superior military power. 1t
will be because the British are the col
onizing, civilizing, constructive race. 1t
is they who are building railroads and
opening mines, and founding cities. In
that way, and in that way alone, per-
marent paramountcy is to be estab-
lished.
