"A NEW INDUSTRY.

IF 2 d { "a X
Ottumwa is TO have another industry
in the brick and tile factory of the
SWift-Campbell company, formerly
of Washington, which has pur-
chased a tract of land east Of the
city and will erect plant thereon.
This concern should be welcomed by
Ottumwa busineEs men for it is be-
ginning right. 1t intends to begin bust
ness in an transformations manner. and
expand as is trade increases. Its own
ers recognized the superior natural
and commercial advantages Of Ottum-
wa and considered them sufficient; in
ducement TO bring their factory here
without asking for ANYTHING further.
This state Of affairs is one that OF
tumwa business men have long been
trying to bring about. I'm order to do
so they have given big bonuses to
factories in the past, but as the Cour-
Ter has remarked before, the day of
big bonuses in Ottumwa is over. The
city now stands on it's own merits as a
commercial and manufacturing center.
All good factories or reliable business
9co-celns that may want to come will
be given a hearty welcome and all the
assistance possible in finding suitable
sites or buildings. The advantages
that Ottumwa now offers in business
way are more than equivalent to any
bonus that could be reasonably offered
elsewhere.

story published simultaneously i'll sew

saying in effect that 16 to 1 would be

and Abbott and Secretary C. A. Walsh.
and was appointed ambassador in

the leaders Of the party approved the
plan to drop silver and merely wanted
his consent. Chairman johnson pro-
nounced the story as utterly without
foundation.

States, that The Kansas City conven-

chair of the house of representatives
nearly three months and half and
his rulings have been exceptionally
satisfactory TO members on both sides
of the house. While he is firm and de-
termined in asserting the rights of his
position and enforcing the rules, he
shows SO much tact that thus. far he
has avoided giving offense to any one.
He is nowhere near SO arbitrary as
Mr.. Reed. He is more considerate of
the feelings of his fellow members. He
recognizes the rights of his political
opponents and endeayors to decide
doubtful questions as impartially as
possible. Col. Henderson was always
an active partisan. His side was al
ways right on every question as long
as he was member on the floor, but
when he got into the chair he discov-
cred that he had judicial tempera-
ment, and has been trying to develop
it, with considerable success. +,

+ AN EXAMPLE AT HOME.

-Four years ago all those who march
ed under the silvery banner OF Mr..
William j. Bryan, of Lincoln, Nebras-
ska, We're unanimous in the assertion
that the adoption of the gold standard
in the United States would bring fl
nancial ruin upon the country. Their
lamentations and prophecies of ruin
were manifold. 1t is, therefore, fortu-
nate that none of them have come to
pass.
An excellent example of the falsity
of these predictions was afforded in
Ottumwa the other day when one of
the National banks of the city ex-
changed its holding of per cent
bonds which were to, mature in 1907,
for per cent, thirty-year bonds is
sued under the new financial law. The
the new onees sell at par. By making
the exchange the bank increased the
circulation of notes based on govern
ment bonds by some $4,000. It will be
seen, therefore, that instead of reduc-
ing the circulation, as claimed by the
Bryanites, the gold standard law ope-
rates to increase materiallythe amount
of money in the hands of the people,
and, at the command of the CONNER
cial world. And, Furthermore, instead
of reducing the government to penury
and financial ruin it makes it the
soundest and most trusted govern
ment ON the face of the earth. No
nation in the world has ever before
been able to float 2 per cent bonds at
par. Does anyone think for minute
that the United States could do it now,
if it was, under free silver regime.

IT will be remembered that in 1898

1t will be remembered that in 1898
a party of silver republican patriots,
among whom was Senator Pettigrew,
made tour OF Japan for the purpose
of finding out why that country had
abandoned the silver standard for the
gold, and also to learn how the gold
standard was working. They return
ed in safety, but for some reason their
report was never heard from. The
mystery is now solved. The japanese
minister of finance has just issued a
full official report showing that The
gold standard has been OF great adj
vantage to all classes in Japan, clearly
accounting for the WASH improvement
over the conditions found under free
silver. This may explain why the
members of the self-appointed Petit
grew commission suddenly dropped
the japanese gold-standard question
like hot cake and turned their atten-
ton to other lines of opposition.

terest and local support. As the schools
are in a measure controlled by the
state, the standard is uniform and
there are none of the chaotic condi-
lions that arise from a go-as-you-please
system, and a uniformly higher stand
ard of qualifications for principals and
instructors is secured.
y And finally, says Prof. Lewis, by the
requirement that tuition shall be free
in the state-aided high schools their
advantages are brought within the
reach OF the pupils in the rural dis
tricts. The law, he says, has stimulat-
ed interest in secondary education be-
yonu the hope or, expectation of its
friends, and, coupled with the free
text book law, has made the high
schools the colleges of the common
people.

Bradstreet's, that trade journal

Bradstreet's, that trade journal so
literally quoted by democrats in 1896,
is not now endorsed by them as good
campaign reading" In 1896 the con-
dition of the country obliged such
journals to print accounts OF failures,
strikes, business depression, reduction
of wages and the like, all of which
silverites loudly attributed to the gold
standard. But the conditions have re-
versed and now Bradstreet's and other
trade journals reflect the great pros
perisy in the country by telling of bus
mess activity, factories working over
time and yet turning away orders, in
creases in wages, etc, all of which
transition has occurred under the same
gold standard which, until ':expansion''
appeared upon the political horizon.
Mr. Bryan said was the very worst
thing in the world, and under which
the United States could never be pros
porous.

WHEELER ON THE PHILIPPINES.

WHEELER ON THE PHILIPPINES.
Under the caption 1What to Do with
the Philippines" Gen. Joseph Wheeler
contributes to this weeks issue of
Leslie's Weekly a lengthy article on
the situation in the islands as he OBJ
served it during his service there. He
says in part:
Il believe that the back of the re-
bellion in the Philippines is broken.
AS for Agninaldo, do not consider
him a patriot. He was fighting for a
great prize. Had he won he would
have been powerful emperor, a
mighty dictator. AS far as possible I
believe that we should establish civil
government in the Philippines. [ am
in favor of territorial government, and
I see nothing homogeneous in making
these various islands into territories.
ION the question of ultimate annex
alton or the remote future of the Phil
ippines-whether states would be
erected there or not, in case we annex
the islands, am not prepared to
speak. but I do think that we owe
much to the many citizens of the is
lands who are not Filipinos and espe-
cially to those Filipinos who have been
friendly to us"

The chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee was one of the bene-
ficiaries OF the great trust which OPP
pressed the cotton-growers of the
south. The last democratic nominee
for governor of Ohio, and an eminent
figure in the councils of that party,
has acquired an immense fortune via
monopolies. The men who dominated
the last democratic administration are
today connected with trusts of all de-
scriptions. Yet the democratic party
strives to pose as the great antitrust
organization. The trust problem will
be solved by the republican party just
as all other great problems have been
solved by it. The democratic party
agitates but does not accomplish.

Chairman Towne's call for national
convention of silver republicans at
Kansas City, July 4, states that it is
for the purpose Of placing in nomina-
ton candidates for president and vice
president of the United States. He
might have saved circumlocution and
stated plainly that the convention was
called to indorse the democratic ticket
and platform. Renegade republicans
who add the, word SILVER" to their
party name and support a candidate
pledged to the democratic platform
should have respect enough for true
republicans to drop their sleeps
clothing and enter the democratic par
tY without more ado.
