nounccment Of his policy in China. We
have no criticism whatever TO mike OF
the Presidents policy except what per-
tains to the method and manner. he Is
moving on the right lines. but he IS not
doing IL in the right way. He should
at once declare to the American people
that ne intends to put this government in
he attitude of demanding that China shall
be preserved to the Chinese and that all
lust grievances at the hands OF foreign
movers which the Chinese complain OF.

He is moving along in the right direc-
ton, ne say, but there Is no assurance
that ne win go TO this. the true point that
he should aim at, and therefore instead Of
having the American people uhiieo IN oe-
mand!ng great reform in the interest
Of civilization, he runs risk OF having
them split up by petty differences upon
questions of this. policy or that.
1t is all important mat the President
should AXE a positive stand upon these
great PROPOSITIONS OF right at an early
day. otherwise The opportunity to accom-
plish something real may slip through his
fingers; he should take .he position that

FARMERS AND PROSPERITY.

Mr.. Bryan said in his speech at Topeka
yesterday that the prosperity argument
which the Republicans bring forward to
answer all complaints against the Admins
tration will not deceive the farmer, for the
farmer knows that two factors come into
his ineome-tirst, the size Of the crop. and
second, the price which he receives for the
same. HIS does not return thanks to the
party in power for favorable weather and
q bountiful harvest, and he knows that the
Republican party has no policy which in
sures permanent increase in agricultural
prices
That is true as far as it goes, and Mr.
Bryan would have stated the whole truth
if he had said that neither the Republican
party nor the Democratic party nor the
Popul!st party nor any other party can
increase the price OF the farmers product
and make him prosperous. The farmers
prosperity depends upon the goodness OF
God and his own eNertions. With favorable
weather conditions, with hard work, scien-
tific farming and business methods the
farmer viii prosper in spite OF politics:
without these, the farmer will not prosper,
no matter which party is in power. The
farmer viii get along very much better
when he recognizes these well known
facts. If the farmer depends upon the
action OF Government TO make him pros
porous, he will always be down at the
heel.

A Ml.DLEY OF POLITICS.

Was there ever such a medley of politics
as we find in the campaign of 1900? The
Democrats insist that imperialism is the
tons are of minor Importance and must be
subord;nated TO this. I.
The Republicans insist that free silver
is the paramount issue, and that it is as
much a question in this campaign as it
was in 1896.
Yer, Senator Stewart, who left the Re-
publican party and gave his support to the
Democratic party because the Republican
party stood for the gold standard and the
Democratic party for free silver, now de-
serts Bryan ana announces that he will
support Mckinley on the ground that
Bryan has deserted free silver. de says
mat Bryan's unparalleled campaign Tor
the principles of the Chicago PLATFORM
ana his insistence upon the adoption OF that
platform at Kansas City, induced the peo-
pie 10 suppose that the campaign OF i'oo
would be conducted on the issue OF 1890
but that in this they were mistaken, LOT
BRYAN has abandoned free silver for impe-
ralism
Strangely enough. the New York Tri-
bune. the representative Republican paper
of this country, reproduces these remarks
| Of Senator Stewart, and exploits them in
leading editorial, at the same time contend
ing that free silver is still the leading
issue.
Many Democrats do not believe in
free silver are giving their support to MIR.
Bryan this year on the ground that free
silver Is a thing of the past, While many
Populists and free silver Republicans are
supporting him on the sole ground that
he is stiii the great champion of bmetai-
ism.
Bourke Cochran is supporting Mr.. Bryan
on the ground that, if elected, he will be
unable to do any mischief. He says that
even II the people raise Mr.. Bryan TO the
Presidency the Democratic party could not
noss;bly achieve any power of legislation
during the existence OF the next Congress,
and Without legislative sanction no change
in tho standard OF value, no reorsan.za-
ton of the Supreme Court, no mod:tica-
ten whatever OF our financial, industrial or
political system could be accomplished.
He seems to take II for granted that 4; Mr..
Bryan were elected aud should be backed
