occupation of the eater, and the
amount of rice in the jar. Our school
boys average one and one-third
pounds a day. But boatman's al
lowance is three times that. A good
average is about two pounds day.
Counting that there are 400, OOO, 900
of Chinese, of whom, say, one-fourth
eat htL-e or no rice, and one-fourth
have all they want to eat, and the
remaining two-fourths eat half of the
average of two pounds daily, or one
pound day, we would have daily
consumption of rice by the Chinese
nation of 4oO,OOO,0oO pounds, or six
and two-thirds million ,ashels. This
amounts to an annual consumption of
2,434 100000 bushels. If this is too
liberal a count, throw off the millions,
and we have still 2.O0O, 100000 bushels,
which is probably a conservative fig
ure.
The worlds wheat crop of a dozen
years ago, as estimated in the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica of 1889. was about
1000 .OOO, 900 bushels.
Ch$na, before very long, will become

WILLIAM N. BREWSTER
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1900-08-24
What the republican party has un-

What the republican party has I'M
dertaken to do is not to people a
wilderness, either adjoining or remote
from the United States, with Ameri-
cans, but to establish American do
minion over countries already as dense
v populated as Illinois or even MaSSa-
millions of people occu-
Dying regions where there is no room
cor American colonies in the proper
sense of the word.
To true colonization-thati s,y to she
overflow of American people and insti-
tutions into unoccupied territory or
territory occupied only by a few row
ing savages who practically make no
Use of the soil and other resources
available-there is no rational objec-
ton.
To the conquest of countries already
densely populated, where there is no
room for genuine American colonial
tonic the subjugation of millions of
people and their government as sub
jects upon the assumption that they
are not capable of governing them
selves-there is great objection.
That sort of thing unquestionablyi is
"disruptive not only of our national in
tegrity and morals, but also of our ma
tional peace, prosperity and Perpe-
tuity.''
AS to the trust issue there can be no
mistake. The republican party is re-
sponsible for the Dingley tariff, in the
absence of which nir1e-tenths of the
trusts would be harmless.
The trusts recognize the republican
party as their party. They go to it for
such legislation, including the Porto
Rican law, as will help fatten their
bank accounts. They multiply and
wax defiant of law when that party is
IN power.
These notorious facts point unmis-
takably to the only party from which
relief from trust extortion is to be ex-
pected.-Chicago Chronicle.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1900-08-24
THE PRINCIPAL ISSUE.
In Imperialism. and Not
16 to L.

The democratic convention was right
and wise in declaring that "the burning
issue of imperialism, is 1.-The para
mount issue of the campaign"
It is the way of the American people
to settle one issue at a time. In the
war of 1861 the one object of the north
was to save the union. erything else,
as Lincoln so often said, was a side is
sue. In 1898 the one object of the ma
ton in going to war with Spain was
to free Cuba. Other consequences were
not considered.
In all our presidential elections one
issue has been paramount-determ
ing. In 1860 it was to stop the extern
sion of slavery into the territories. In
1864 it was to sustain the government
in prosecuting the war. In 1868 it was
to preserve the fruits of the war;" In
1876 it was reform-the battle cry of
Tilden. In 1854 the election turned
mainly upon the political character of
James G. Blaine. In 1892 the domin ant
issue was the odious Mckinley tariff.
In 1896 it was, of course, free silver at
16 to 1.
This year. as the Kansas City plat
form truly declares, "the paramount is
sue" is "the burning issue of imperial
ism, involving the very existence of the
republic and the destruction of our free
institutions" Surely nothing can be
