The Republican Party.

The policy of the Republican party
since it passed under the control of
Hanna may be summarized as follows:
l. Pay the trusts and usurers the
money advanced for the campaign
fund of 1896.
2. Retire the greenbacks
3. Make silver token money, redeem
able in gold.
4. Put the banks in possession of all
money-making functions.
S. Make the government issue bonds
to redeem silver and to buy gold.
6. Increase the standing army to
100000 Cat first).
Z. Conduct perpetual war in our COL
onies.
8. Continue indefinitely the war and
Dingley taxes.
9. Increase all kinds of taxes gener-
ally.
TO- Bury every year about 5000 Of
our young men in the Philippines.
IL. Enlarge pension roll indefinitely.
IL. Gradually and quietly transform
our Republic into an empire.
13. Keep Democratic military and
naval heroes away from home or dis
credit their bravery.

The Price of Commerce.

When Ben Franklin moralized upon
the price paid for whistle he fur
nished moral which is every day
eXemplifeil.
Among those who are urging an ac-
tive participation in the invasion of
China are those who look upon it as
the entering wedge of a large COM
merce. Already it has been discov-
cred that through this commerce the
Chinese army has been armed and
equipped and that the bullets which
greet English soldiers were sold for
that purpose by English merchants.
The Transvaal war has already cost
the English government $3.50, 900 900.
The Beers had been armed by English
manufacturers who made few thou
sand pounds profit, but the burden
of paying the $750,O0O,0O0 debt will
hang upon the common people, who
have had no share in the profits which
made the debt possible.
1t is very well to encourage manu-
lecturers and merchants, but there
should be little discretion as we 20
along.

evidently what Moore's words implied.
Adam Leslie had always been lit
tie apt to exceed, but it was only OF
late-within the last six months-that
his daughter had noticed 1t. And ii
seemed to her, since the coming OF
Gerald Moore that her father had
yielded still more to his unfortunate
weakness.
Perhaps you had better not come
any further, Doctor Rothes," she said
| In low voice. If Mr.. Moore is going

Rothes took off his hat and held out
his hand For one minute, only one,
their horses were close together, and
| Moore's was SO far apart as to render
him out of earshot at least of whis-
per.
"Good-by," said Rothes, hurriedly
and little hoarsely. II don't know
when l may see you again. God only
knows | pray that He may guard and
keep you from danger!" He bent a
little nearer, and added in whisper:
AS you value your safety and happi-
ness, beware of that man.. entreat
Of you to do so. He is a dangerous
man. cannot say more. Good-by-

The clasp of his fingers on her hand
was to remain there for many days.

strange sense of desolation and lone

II had the pleasure of meeting him
once in Maritzburg," said the million
aire dryly; "but, Miss Leslie, wish to
talk of something else just now. Your
father has given me leave to do SO.
What do you think has kept me all this
time lingering about this district?"
Bluebell shook her ruddy brown
| head. A feeling of vague discomfort
and uneasiness shot through her at the
question; but not in her widest guess
es could she have arrived within mile
of the truth.
Gerald Moore went on slowly:
"The country will soon be in a fer
ment; existence in it will be danger
GUS, unsafe. For men this does not
matter so much; for women, especially
those"-he paused and added impress
sively-"whom we love, it is terrible
not to be thought of. Your father
wishes you to go out of the country
while yet there is time"

Expansion simply means that peace

The Platform Is Straight.

The New York Democratic newspa-
pers are waking up to the true mean
Ing of the Kansas City platform. Says
the World: In it's presentation of Am
erican principles and policies in op-
position to Imperialism and militarism
the Democratic platform constitutes
about as powerful campaign docu-
ment as was ever issued. 1t is self
explanatory. 1t needs no supplement
of argument. 1t states the simple yet
splendid truths in way that carries
straight to the mind and conscience of
the man whose ideals are the tradi
tlonal and time-tested ideals Of his
country.
1t is this direct appeal to the Ameri-
can conscience which must yet be-
come the central thought of the cam
paign upon which we are entering.
The safety of the American home, the
right of the citizen are much nearer
to us than can be the condition of any
foreign country or the grievances of
people at distance. The Democratic
platform SO well states the whole issue
that The World speaks truly when it
says: 1T needs no supplement OF
argument. Atlanta Constitution.
P. S.-Of course it cannot be expect
ed that the gold bug papers of the
asst will indorse the financial part OF
the platform Eat tAe<s-is 10 sas past
- SIe'5sSs ph form superior in clearness,
and wisdom than another. The tinan-
eial plank is the best ever written, be-
ing a step in advance of that OF 1896,
which recognized the redemption fall
lacy. The platform of this year
throws the superstition overheard en-
tirely and recognizes that paper dol
lars. when issued by the government
constitute lawful money of the United
States.

Three times during the past months
the Sugar Trust has raised the price
of sugar. The grocery stores and moor
consumers have paid the advance
without murmur. They have no pro-
lection and they knew it was useless
to complain.
1t has been learned, however. that
at the present schedule of prices for
eign sugars can enter this market at
profit.
But the Sugar Trust must have pro-
lection or Republican principles VIII
all be violated. Foreign sugar must
not be allowed to enter our markets
1t would hurt Havemeyer.
Therefore. trot out the tariff. that
fine old mother of trusts and let her
protecting wings hover over the head
of the sugar king. If necessary let
President Mckinley call a special ses-
sion Of congress. Whatever happens to
ne consumer the trusts must not be
neglected.-Leadville Miner.
