ouEgnIs FOR PEACE.
WILL ABDICATE IL WAR AGAINST
13OIIRS is DECLARED.


London, Oct. 6-There has been all
most complete dearth of news from
& South Africa to-day. The few dis
patches received recording military
movements at various points all tend
to confirm the belief that President
Kruger Will restrain any forward
movement by the Beers unless they are
fired upon or war is actually declared.
1t is NOW. practically certain that par
lament Will meet on october 18th.
8 Reserves will be summoned to-mor-
row in sufficient number TO bring up
to a war strength the regiments warm
ed to hold themselves in readiness for
service in South Africa, or about one>
sixteenth of the total reserve.
The Daily News asserts that an army
corps will be modified tomorrow.
4 dispatch from Mafekng announces
that Commandant Cronje, of the Boer
forces, has been promoted to the rank
Of general, and is massing six thous-
and Beers, with artillery, near Ramath-
labama, north OF NIafeking. The dis
patch adds that General Cronje has
sent a message to the camp of the I'm
periaa troops that he will cross the bor-
der at the first shot fired in Natal.
1t is stated that Right Hon. Harry
Escombe, former Premier Of Natal, Is
going to Pretoria in the interest of
peace.

London, Oct. 6.-All the reliable intel
ligence from South Africa points TO Il
continuance of the existing situation
for some time, as both sides are APP
parently dfiident about commencing an
attack, although. from the dispatches
received here, it seems as if every
movement of Il patriot and every cloud
of dust raised by a herd of cattle We're
turned into general advance by both
armies.
. The delay is all to the good, mas
much as it gives time for further ne
gotiations; and to-day's indications APP
parently show a Willingness on the part
gof the British Government to continue
I to utilize diplomacy.
HOPE FOR PEACE.
a well-deilned conviction is preva-
lent that the Foreign Office is trying to
discover way out of the inpassc
which has been created by admitted
/ mistakes and miscalculations, and it is
evident that peace advocates and peace
4 counsels are gaining ground. However,
Mr.. Chamherlaln'S refusal to seize the
chance given him by the petition of

sembly4 to point out, in his reply, that
the Beers still have an opportunity of

THE WORLDS MARKETS

| The good times have come through the
channel which the democratic party not
the present hybrid-has always insisted
was the proper course to national pros

tionists always held to fixing limits to
American enterprise 50 as prevention

They did not perceive that the thorough
businessman did not welcome immunity
from competition by circumscrlbing his
opportunities. He grew i'll conflict when
the field of operations was large.
For years we pursued policy of non
intercourse. We had a good thing at
home and we should keep this to our
selves. 1t would eniangeri it if we should
reach out to grapple with other nations
in the worlds markets. Retaliation
would ruin us Our wisest course was
to keep safely housed and build ourselves
ND through a system of commercial in
breeding. 1t was "A towards policy.
Fortunately, circumstances forced us
into the field from which cOwardly cir
cumspection held us aloof. We found
it profitable and competition broadened
rs. We had been using our business tai
ents almost solely in the home field and
were growing narrow in our methods.
The fiction of foreign competition made
the blood flow faster and the brain more
active We put to flight the notion that
we were infants when put in conflict with
older countries They paid us tribute
and the field for American industry was
enlarged
We should proceed to remove restric-
tons on a trade which though hampered
by artificial restraints imposed by our
selves, has proved SO advantageous to us.
The man who attributes the present sat
isfactory conditions to the protective tar

of the situation as if he would attribute

THOSE who express Impotence with
/ people who are opposed to expansion
/ through the means Of conquest present
a pinchbeck form of patriotism which
would soon eliminate the genuine article.
The people of the United States are SOW
ereign and are supposed to have the ii ght
of approval or disapproval of any policy
affecting the nations honor or the ma
tons interests Our traditions are OPP
posed TO expansion by subjugating a
comparatively week people. There is no
administration which has the right to
alter that policy fundamentally and treat
protests as lack Of patriotism. President
| Mckinley is no more the government Of
the United States than Bryan is the
democracy, though each assumes to be
and declares those traitors who refuse to
tamely submit to the usurpation.
The administration persists in conduct
ing the war without taking the people
into its confidence, giving any facts
which Justify it and insisting that patri-
otism requires unquestioning acquies-
cence. That is making the individual a
subject and not a citizen
What do the people know about the
Philippines III their relation to the Unit
ed States? What degree of sovereignty
did Spain pass over to the United States
as an equivalent Of S20, 1000, Door What
did Spain have to cedeZ What circum
stances changed the Fllipinos from allies
to hostiles? What progress have our
troops made in the matter of subiugating
the Filipinos? How much Of the terri
tory of the archipelago do we hold? Are
we in possession through the acquies-
cence of the people, who certainly must
have some rights, or are we holding this
conquered territory by force OF armsy
What is the condition of our troops in
Manila and its neighborhOod?
1t is treason to seek for information on
those points When the creditors of the
Plankington bank demanded that they
were entitled to know what the assignee
was doing with their property the JUS
tice of the demand was generally conced-
ed and the supreme court granted it.
But we have no business to know any
thing of the events transporting in the
Philippines, or what the deuce the fight |
ing is about. Queer form of patriotism

THE fiction of the democrat who con
tinues to vote for Andrew jackson for
president each presidential election, finds
real counterpart in those people who
want campaign conducted ON the after
math Of the panic of 1893. There never
was a time during which a record was
kept in which failures have been so few
~ during the first half of the year 1899
The country is surcharged with money
seeking investment Lines of business
are projected to find employment for idle
capital Prices have advanced to such
i'm extent that reduction will soon be re-
garded as necessity The demand for
labor WAS never greater and exceeds the
supply. Wages have advanced to a point
at which labor is largely remunerative.
1t is foolish in the face OF all these
conditions to demand a fundamental
change which will bring about change
of existing conditions. 1t is foolish from
an industrial standpoint and suicidal in
Il political sense A little calm reflection
would enable those insistent upon fl
nancial revolution to perceive how fool
hardy the proposition is. 1t is about as
sensible to conduct a campaign in sup
port of Brother ,Iasper's theory that the
