over one billion of dollars, has been

cratic administration.

Bad for the Calamity Party.
Prosperity stories have taken the
place of calamity croakings in Kansas,
and Mr. Bryan is wondering what he
can do to regain his former hold upon
the ears of those who no longer find
him interesting. The story is told of an
old farmer who, at the point of a shot
gun, compelled creditor to accept
payment of a note before it fell due.
''Why did he do that?" some one asked
the narrator. ooh, he wanted to stop
the interest," was the reply. John w.
Breidenthal, the State Bank Commits
siOner, tells of banker out in the
short grass country who wrote letter
asking if there was any law that would
compel him to receive money for de-
post in his bank. 81 wrote him. said
Breidenthal, ''that if he had more
money than he knew what to do with,
l knew of no law in Kansas that would
compel him to take more. You see,
they We're paying their taxes, and the
County Treasurer wanted to make a
depository out of his bank, but he
would be mandamused before he
would submit to it,
All this looks bad for the political
party and candidate who hope to win
by reviving the free trade and free
silver issues of the Chicago platform.

The Presidents Position.

Mr.. w. e. Curtis, of the Chicago Rec
ord, in reply to many questions, fairly
represents the Presidents position on
the Porto Rican measure as follows:
Il have endeavored to represent COR
rectly the Presidents position on the
Porto Rican question. He has not de-
parted from the position he took in his
message. He has told everybody who
has asked him that nothing that has
been said or done has changed his opin-
ion as to the justice and expediency Of
free trade with Porto Rico; but, finding
that he could not get free trade, he has
used his influence to secure the small
est possible tariff for the shortest pos
sible time. 1t was at his suggestion
that the House of Representatives COM
promised on Is per cent basis for two
years, which he thought was better
than 25 per cent. perpetually. He tried
to persuade the Ways and Means Com
mittee to consent to a 10 per cent.
tariff, but it would not go lower than Is
per cent The motive of the President
from the beginning has been to secure
the most liberal legislation possible for
Porto Rico without dividing the Re-
publican party.

Opposed to All Recir

Opposed to All Reciprocity Treaties.
The way to fight these treaties is not
to spend all our strength in exposing
the gross injustice done to this State in
these particular cases, but to attack
the principle involved. 1t is utterly
vicious. No reciprocity treaty can be
negotiated whose effect is not to di-
rectly and without compensation take
money from one class Of our citizens
and bestow it elsewhere at the caprice
of the negotiator of the treaty. 1t is
relic of mediaevalism; it should have
no place on the statute books of any
civilized nation. Fight not merely
these treaties but all reciprocity
treaties. Let us end the whole bust
ness once for all.-San Francisco
Chronicle

The silver Question Eliminated.

The Silver Question Eliminated.
The Republican monetary bill, having
been passed by both houses Of Congress
and approved by the President, is now
a law. The act establishes the gold
standard and is intended to protect the
TREASURY from gold raids through the
operation of the so-called "endless
chain" With this law on the statute
books it will be impossible for any
President to carry the nation to the
silver standard by executive action
alone. The Senate is now so strongly
Republican that the silver element can
NOT possibly hope to regain control Of
that body before the expiration OF the
term of the President who will enter
tho White House March next Even
tho election Of Mr.. Bryan will not en-
danger the maintenance OF the gold
standard.
Under such circumstances.jt is almost
inconceiyable that the silver issue
should cut any serious figure in the
forthcoming campaign. The people OF
tbis country. as Bourke Cochran has
said cannot be induced to wage Presi-
GENITAL campaign over an abstraction,
and in it's relation to politics at this
time the silver question is an abstrac-
ton. The practical status of silver can
not be affected one way or the other by
the outcome of this falls election.
Therefore, in casting their ballots, the
people very largely will ignore the sill
yer question and will divide according
TO their views on other issues. The
massage of the gold-standard bill has
eliminated the silver question from poll
Tics for four years at least.-Chicago
Record.

An Unanswerable Argument.

The excess of exports over imports
Cor three years of President McKin-
ley's administration has been: 1897,
S2s6. 263, IA; 1898, $615, 431 GIG; 1899,
$529, S74, S13.
That the United States sold far more
than a billion dollars worth of prod
ucts more than it bought during this
period, despite the fact that state of
war existed during the greater part OF
it, is an unanswerable argument in IA
vor of the protective tariff. During the
last two years, under a wise and care
full Republican administration and an
adequate tariff for the protection Of
American industries, the people of the
United States have sold more goods
abroad than under any three years of
Democratic administration.
During the past two years the excess

United States in foreign markets over
