WEDNESDAY, JUNE l3, 1900.

The Uaited States of America is
involved in another war, and this is
the first fruits of the Republican
doctrine of Imperialism and the re-
suit of foreign entanglements.
She is in command of the allied
forces of the Powers in G in, being
given this position through the jeal-
ousy of ths European nations of
each other.
A state OF actual war now exist in
the F.owery Kingdom as the result
of faction known as Boxers" mas
sacrificing Christian mission; ss. The
Empress Dowager is in w.rm sym
pathy with the Boxers and is either
unwilling or unable to protect the
missionaries and hence the civilized
nations CT the world have combined 10
protect them. This is the beginning of
the end of the Chinese Empire and is
doubtless the meaning of "the open
door" agreement. The Celestials
are divided into two parties, one CT
which believe in holding to the old
customs and traditions of the fathers
and to exclude new innovations. The
other is liberal in it's views and favor
the introduction of advanced civiliza-
ton and the Christianizing of the
Empire.

Letter from Arkansas.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
By your permission I have con
cluded to write short letter for the
Dispatch giving your readers little
news from Arkansas. I have been
living here about ten years and I
have found that this section of the
country is the best poor mans home
of any other section that I have ever
seen. OF course this section has its
disadvantages as we'll as others, the
idea of streams of milk and honey
and fritter trees and all such things
is foolish talk. If a man gets his
bread and butter, be should get it
honestly in the sweat of his face.
The soil here is generally very
deep and fertile for all crops. We
use 10 fertilizers, or in other words
We are lot compelled to use any.
Some few farmers around here are
Using little merely for experiment
this year. We have no "stock law"
every mans stock runs at large and
the hogs get fat on the mass nearly
every wirter we feed them but little
coin. Some farmers never feed their
hogs an ear of corn from the time
that they are pigs until they are
killed.
1t rains a great deal here in the
winter and spling and occasionally
the roads get almost impassible; but
in the summer and fall the roads get
dry and smooth.

BRXAN's OWN MONOPOLY.
He Enjoys in His Book the Benefit of
Government by Injunction.

Chicago. Oct. 3O.-The protection
which William j. Bryan secured when
he copyrighted his book is of an extra
ordinary character. First Bryan's mon
opoly of the book is not left to the ordi-
nary protection in the law, but is special
ly secured through government by in
junction"-the precise thing which he
and his party denounce. If any one
should infringe on Bryan's monopoly and
reprint his book, an injunction would be
clapped ON the infringer forthwith. Man
ufacturers have no such protection.
In the second place Bryan's protection
is unlimited, whereas manufacturers are
only protected up to certain point. If
manufacturer raises his price beyond
the level covered by the tariff duty, the
foreign article, at once comes in and com
petes against him. Not so with Bryan's
copyrighted book. Let him charge what
he pleascs, there is still no competitions
He can demand any price and the buyer
has no choice but to pay it or 90 with
out the book.
1t is right that authors should have
this special protection and be shielded
by injunction. The shame is that Will
liam j. Bryan, i'll the full enjoyment of
such protection and getting rich by it,
should go around the country demanding
that protection be taken away from other
people and denouncing the very process
which is the only adequate defence Of
his copyright, government by injunction.

sort Of financial or monetary system
for ourselves that we like. But to de-
termine the value of gold in silver, or of
silver in gold, is as far beyond the power
of any Government as to determine the
value of wheat in gold, or of cotton in
silver, or of pork in green backs-and no
one pretends that Congress can fix these
prices. For nearly century our Gov
ernment tried to make the mint ratio
the same as the market ratio; it never
supposed it could fix the price; it only
tried to keep up with the changes in
prices. 1t found this impracticable,, and
has lately given up the effort. 1t has
slowly and reluctantly accepted the
teachings of experience here and in all
other countries. Now the question be-
fore the country is whether it shall
throw all experience-its own and that
of the rest of the world-aside and at
tempt again what has already been
found to be impossible.
