''The republican policy means
that we shall have a form of
republic here and a practice of
despots in the orient. The re-
publicans said in 1896 that we
could not have double standard
of noney-now they have double
standard of government. They
said in 1896 we advocated So
cent dollar, yet they have an IS
per cent citizen in Porto Rico, and
we don't know what per cent of
citizenship the Filipino is to have.
In 1896 the republicans said every
dollar must be as good as every
other dollar, and we say that every
citizen shall be as good as every
other citizen and that the same
constitution shall protect them
all. Wv. ]. Bryan.

FARMERS READ THIS.

The extract published by the
DEMOCRAT last week from the Du-
luth speech of Hon. Chas. A.
Towne, was so we'll received by
our readers and considered of such
local import that upon the request
of several who realize it's value
from political point of view it is
given space again. We make the
suggestion that it be saved for
future reference.
In explanation of the quotations that
follow we will state that Mr.. Towne
takes the farm value of bushel of wheat
as worth at al average throughout the
Northwest 10 cents less than the Mime
apolis cash price, 10 bushels would buy
at the wholesale prices quoted by the
Commercial Bulletin, the official trade
journal of Minneapolis jobbors, the
following goods on the dates named.
Kerosene Oil minnesota state test)
Jan. 1, 1898, 1O1 gallons.
Jan. l, 1899, 70 gallons.
Jan. 1, 1900, Sc gallons.
Granulated Sugar
Jan. ], 1898, ISL pounds.
Jan. 1, 1899, 116 pounds.
Jan. l. 1900, 1O4 pounds.
Common Salt.
Jan. 1, 1898, 81 barrels.
Jan. 1, 1899, 615 barrels:
Jan. l, 1900, S barrels.
Lumber q6 foot 2x4.)
Jan. 1, 1898, 1872 feet.
Jan. 1, 1899, $50 feet.
Jan. l, 1900, 418 feet.
Wire Nails.
Jan. 1, 1893, ~ kegs.
Jan. 1, 1896, 81 kegs.
Jan. 1, 1900, ~ kegs.
Barb Wire, common painted.)
Jan. 1, 1899, 435 pounds.
Jan. 1, 1889, 80 pounds.
Jan. 1, 1900 1873 pounds.
The above figures are based on whole
sale prices of oil, salt. sugar, lumber,
nails and barbed wire at Minneapolis.
Freight, handling and retailers profits
would probably make these articles cost
at the farm about 20 per cent on the
average more, and the amount of each of
these articles which 10 bushels of wheat
would buy would be correspondingly
less. Ten bushels of wheat, like any
other product, are worth what they will
buy. The prosperity of the farm is not
measured BY the volume of its product,
nor even by the market value OF the
product, but by the new purchasing
power of the commodities produced
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-09-20

The steel trust is opening up a
few of its mills, but it is reducing
the wages and frightening the
working hours of its employees.
Perhaps what it saves in this way
will be used to relieve the embar-
rassment of the republican ma
tional committee, which is sadly in
need of funds with which to among
other things, buy the negro vote
of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois,
That the negro vote might not be
purchasable has not occurred to
the republican managers.

AND NOW IT'S MAINE.

2 There is very great and I'M
deniable encouragement for demo-
Gratis in the returns of the Maine
election, which reveal general
shrinkage of the republican vote
and a more than corresponding
increase of the democratic vote as
compared with the figures of 1896.
Every effort possible to the re-
publican state and national
organization was put forth to
carry Maine for the republican
state ticket by larger majority
than was scored in the Presi-
dental contest four years ago.
Money was spent like water, end
the supply of campaign orators
and campaign literature was un-
limited. Chairman Marley of the
republican state committee, one of
the shrewdest and most expert
enced political managers in this
country, had charge of the CAM
paign, and any assistance he re-
quired from the republican nation
Ial committee was ready for the
asking. tits, therefore, exception
ally significant that the republican
vote cast in the election shows a
decrease If 10 per cent from that
of 1896, against an Is per cent
increase Of democratic vote. The
meaning of this, as was also that
of tho Vermont election, is that
McKinley's policy of imperialism
and foreign conquest has been
judged and condemned by the
American people. Even in re-
publican strongholds, where the
party fealty of voters is almost
unshakable, this condemnation is
now being voiced. 1t is difficult
for patriotic American to aban-
don the old republic and vote for
empire. The election returns from
Maine add emphasis to those from
Vermont. They prove that the
republican party has lost strength
in the very citadels and fortresses
of republicauism. The trend of
American public sentiment thus
revealed promises to wheel every
doubtful or debatable state in the
Union into the democratic column.
The American people are aroused
to a full appreciation of the vital
import of the paramount issue Of
imperialism, and they propose to
settle that issue by insuring the
safety Of the republic from empire.
