the prosperity OF their country. But
there is a fixed conviction in the minds
of many persons that an extension Of
American trade at the expense of Amer
lean principles and to the menace OF
American institutions would be a de-
plorable thing.
England, Germany and other great
land-grabbing powers never fail to pref
ace the conquest Of new territory with
the argument that such conquest is de-
manded by due consideration for the
extension of trade. Under the magnet
ism of the cry that Trade follows the
flag they justify the planting of the
flag wherever people is found too
weak TO resist aggression. So far in the

ORGANIZATION OF PARTIES.

tiaI to the Achievement
of success.

1t is ALLEGED by high authority that ID
isawise precaution for nation in times
of peace 10 prepare for war. In the same
proportion it is eminently wise for po-
litical parties TO take advantage of
lapse in activity TO prepare for pros
pective campaign.
Confidence in the business of the dem.
ocratic cause will aid much in bring
ing success, but this confidence must
he supplemented with perfect organiza-
ton.
In this connection the attention OF
the democrats of the nation is called to
the wise words spoken by William j.
Bryan in his Des Moines speech.
Among other words of wisdom. the
great champion of the people spoke the
following:
Organization is by no mcans every
thing 10 party. But still "A party can
not do much without organization. Or
ganization requires sacrifices. In time
of war there are plenty of men who are
willing TO leave their homes. say good
by to wife and mother and children. and
go TO the front TO fight the battles Of
their country. The sacrifices 10 lie made
for principles sake in times Of peace
are just as important.
The trouble is we have been lacking
in campaign funds. In the case of the
democratic party, these funds must
come from the masses of the party.
When the republicans want to raise
money they go to the bankers. the
heads of corporations, the trust man
ayers, and they furnish the supply.
And when the ticket is elected, the
bankers dictate the policy of the party.
II is just as much the duty of the peo-
pie to furnish campaign funds as TO
vote"
There is always more or less of dis
agreement among the leaders in any
party. 10 harmonic these differences
is one OF the most important points in
preparing for a successful campaign.
1t is noted with much satisfaction
that there is a marked tendency toward
harmony now made manifest among
the democrats.

TO PAY CUBAN SOLDIERS.
The United States viii Assume the Obligation
and Charge 4 Against Cuba's Revenues.

Negotiations are progressing in the
matter of the payment Of Cuban troops
so that on laying down their arms they
may be enabled ~ enter upon civil
pursuits and earn their living. Proba-
bly, no further appropriation by Con
gress will be necessary to enable the
President to carry out the plan if it
should be decided, as it probably will
be, to advance money, charging it
against the revenues of Cuba, TO pay
the Cubans part of the money due
them for their service in the Cuban
army
The debt is not an obligation rest
ing upon the United Statesf but is one
for which the Cuban Government will
be obligated on its establishment on
an Independent basis. Pending the
establishment of permanent govern
ment, there is no authority responsible
for the payment of these soldiers, and
unless this government advances the
money as loan they will have to go
tor an indefinite period without pay
for their services already rendered in
the war of independence.
