BERLIN, Sept 2S-An outbreak of war

question of few days, or, at the most

siderable space to the matter. Neither

delaying hostilities in order to provide a
sufficient large army OF invasion. 1t may
not begin until the middle of October.
The Beers position will be. stronger, in a

The Deutsche Zeitung says: Germany

WHILE our Democratic friends

WHILE our Democratic friends
arc lining up for another assault
upon the Republican protective
tariff, a significant note comes
to us from free trade England that
her home trade in coal, iron and
steel is being ruined by the active
competition of America in
these products. "Wages must 90
down." says j. A. Landon, presi-
dent Of the British Institute of
Mining Engineers, cor we shall
lose our trade" American labor,
under the protective tariff system,

in the world; and what is more, we
have daily evidences that wages in
this country are rising instead of
going down. At the same time we
are not only holding the home
markets, but are also entering the
markets of the world in successful
competition. 1t will, indeed, be a
hard nut for the Democrats to

Three years ago he was in his Wig

farmer and owed nothing to the

By the death Of Congressman
Bland Missouri loses one of her
leading and honorcd citizens. His
honesty and integrity were his
most prominent characteristics,
and, although he was a Missouri
Democrat, he made these features
of his character prominent in his
public life. TO the fact that he
was honest in politics is due his
defeat for the Democratic prcsiden
tial nomination in 1896. He was
a Democrat and would not pretend
that he was also Il Populist, and as
the nominee of the Chicago conven-
ton, to stand any show of election
whatever, had to be a Popocrat,
Bland could not fill the bill, and
Bryan won the nomination. Still
Bland has a place in history which
even Bryan may hold enviablc.

products Of tie protected labor ot
this country.

THE editorials OF the indcpcn
dent arc assuming u decidedly cop
perry tinge Under the new editorial
writer the paper has lately acJair-
cd. Last week, for instance. the
writer advised the young men Of
Washington County not to enlist
in the army at present for service
in the Philippine Islands. The
import Of the article is mainly that
enlistment in the army might take
out of the county a Democratic
vote or two when votes are so bad
ly needed here by the party. A
fine exhibition of patriotism and
American manhood, indeed. No
doubt the Independent would be
pleased to see the United States
back down before q rabble Of half
naked barbarians whose ideas Of
freedom mean license to murder
and loot. This country has a NOR
al duty in the Philippines from
which it dare not be deferred by
petty politics. Wherever the arm
Of American authority has been
extended law and order must pre-
vail. This duty has fallen upon us
as the result of Dewcy's great vic
tory at Manila and while the gov
ernment is being guided by Il
Republican president our country
will be true to its great obligations.
We say, therefore, tha. if there are
any young men Of Washington
County who may have an inclina-
ton for army service, enlist; fol-
low the spirit OF your patriotism
even though by the absence Of your
vote the Republican party is left in
hopeless minority.

Dispensing With the Distributor

IT is reported that the tobacco
combines have let out Of employ
mcnt 5000 statesmen. The infor-
nation is derived from a ;Deno-
cratic journal and its reliability is,
therefore, somewhat doubtful.
But supposing it to DC correct,
it is only one more instance which
goes to demonstrate the general
tendency to bring the producer in
closer relation with the consumer.
If such a number of men, who
have heretofore been employed in
capacity of distributors, nave been
dispensed with, it may result in a
temporary hardship to them, but
they will gradually be absorbed into
the ranks of the producers, AMI 4
great saving to the consumer has
resulted.
AS human understanding cnlarg-
es, the lines of a grand economic
law become clearer and more de
fined-the law by which the pro-
duccr and the consumer will be
drawn so closely together rs to
leave room scarcely for a distinction
between them. Few people ever
stop to think Of the great cost Of
a system Of bringing the producer
end consumer together through
the intervention Of the distributor.
The drummer" system alone, if
we arc reliably informed, adds
from 10 to Is per cent to the cos:
Of nearly every article of daily
consumption, Take it ali the way
through the expense Of distribution
Of products probably exceeds the
cost of actual production. The
distributor is, to a great extent, q
parasite feeding upon the enc, GIGS
Of the producing class. He adds
nothing to the volume of produc-
ton, but is continually taking from
it. In these days of industrial con
ccntration, restricted competition
and rapid transportation the sphere
of the distributor will gradually
grow smaller and smaller, until
it is contracted almost to the mar
row limits of the transporter be-
tween producer end consumer.

The St. Louis Republic is gain
ing itself the spite of the copper
head organs who cuckoo after
Bryan because it insists that the
authority of the United States in
the Philippine Islands must first be
enforced, let it take as many men
as it may, and the question of Il
home government for the islands
settled afterwards. The difference
between the Republic and its critics
is that the former gives thought of
its country precedence, while the
latter give their appetite for ''ofhs"
the first place.
