Spain knows, to her cost, that
there is limit to the patience of
Uncle Sam, and Turkey may have
to be taught the same lesson.
But there is nothing in the pre-
sent relations between the q. S.
and Turkey to justify the exciting
stories sent out by some of the
Washington correspondents, alleg-
ing that an ultimatum had been
sent to the Sultan and that it was
contemplated to send squadron
of warships TO seize the Turkish
custom house at Smyrna and hold
until the indemnity demanded for
the destruction of the property OF
American missionaries in Turkey
could be collected. Those enter
prising newspaper men have got
long ways ahead of diplomacy.
The ultimatum end the warships
may come in time, but it is the
present opinion of officials that
the Sultan will act upon the sharp
demand which has been made up
on him for the money and that
neither will be necessary. Both
the President and the Secretary
of State are now away from Wash
ington, which furnishes proof that
no immediate trouble with Turkey
is anticipated

In 1899, under Republican
methods, there was so per cent
more cotton used in American mills
than in 1894, under Democratic
control. This meant an increase
of nearly 80 per cent in the amount
of wages circulated among cotton
mill workers. The moral is OBJ
yious.

of our vastly increasing population
and the marvellous development OF
our manufacturing, industrial and
commercial life. During the pres
ent administration the lines have
been extended farther, grander
advance has been made. Distant
colonies have been added to our
domain. Their teemiug population
must be supplied by our ever-in-
creasing industry and commerce.
What benefits are here for the
toilers of the United States
What wonderous blessings to the
unborn millions whose footsteps
are crowding down the stairway of
the future!
Once more, the Monroe doc
trine. This distinctive American
principle was for a long time a
saving element in our politics, in
suring safety at home, preventing
entanglements abroad.
But the time has come when the
restless, aggressive Anglo Saxon
blood had developed the ideas and
institutions of freedom and Repub-
licanism to the point where it was
ready to meet its destiny-ready
to begin the great world-battle.
Now the Monroe doctrine must no
longer be regarded as master, but
as a servant-must no longer be a
shield to keep back the encroach-
ments of monarchy in the west,
but as both sword and shield.
The Republican party has met
the emergency; ever progressive, it
has again advanced. Notice has
been served upon the monarchies
of the world that Republicanism is
in the field to herald its doctrines
and make its history.
Finally, Abraham Lincoln, the
great commoner, plain man from
the plain people, led this same
Republican party some forty years
ago to Danish human slavery from
our borders.
The present administration has
gone farther. True to its instincts,
it has driven a heartless monarchy
across the sea and given freedom
and liberty to millions of the op-
pressed and starving in the West
Indies and in hundred islands in
the Pacific.
The United States stands face
to face with great problems and
greater opportunities. Rightly
has it chosen the party of all
progress to lead its people and
give shape to its policy in such a
time Of need.-Denver Times.
