Corn and Candy.

During the fiscal year ended July 81,
1890, the consumption Of corn for glu-
cose and its by-products amounted to
over 2I,0OO,OOO bushels, which is equiva-
lent to the whole yield from one million
acres, based on an average of ~ bushels
Of corn to the acre. From one-third to
one-fourth Of the glucose product Of this
same year went directly into the manu-
facture of candy, according to a state
ment which is made by one OF the lead
ing authorities in the glucose trade. The
prosperity in the candy trade which Is
directly responsible for such big part
of last years great consumption Of glu-
cose, and the absorption at good prices
of large portion of the 1900 crop Of the
corn growers of the West, was directly
due to the general prosperity. When
the mills are closed, and the workman
cannot fill his dinner pail with the nee
essaries of life. candy is a luxury for
which there is little demand. That can
dy can now be eaten in the families of
workmen is one OF the best evidences Of
prosperity that there Ia.

The Plan that Failed.

The Filipino insurgents, some time be-
fore the war broke out between the
United States and Spain, got up sched-
ule Of their grievances against the rule
Of the Spaniards. There were over TWEEN
ty specifications. not one Of them would
be possible under the American flag.
The Filipinos who were induced to take
up arms against the United States, af-
ter the Spanish rule was broken. were
in the enjoyment Of liberties unhcard Of
in all their experience. The only thing
they complained of was that the United
States did not turn them over to the one
man of their race who claimed to own
them, and the whole country also, with
out a shadow Of authority from the i'm
habitants. The Aguinaldo plan was, af-
ter he had appointed himself, to proclaim
that the people had ratified the appoint
ment and then become lord of thousand
islands because he had been appointed
and ratified as the successor in despot-
ism of the departed Spaniards.

Mckinley Is Our Man.

McKinley's fame has had boom
Since ever 1t began;
No silver crank can win this year
Mckinley is our man.
From north to south his fame resounds,
And every breeze doth fan
From sea to sea this glad refrain,
Mckinley is our man.
There's not a chance for Colonel B.

were very hard. Our farmers burned

Mr.. Bryan argued for free silver as the
only remedy for those apparently hope
less conditions. The country did not
take his remedy, and yet got well. What
is the inference? Mr.. Bryan's remedy
was not much of a remedy as he thought
it. Mr.. Mckinley will be reelected be-

The country at large, the individual cor

Candy Is one Of the luxuries. When
times are hard and money scarce, We feel
il, tell you we do. The last three or
four years show vast increase In our
business. There has been improvement
each year over the preceding one, and
this year the prospects are that business
will be better than II has been for six
years. The general trade throughout the
United States in the last four years has
increased fully so per cent. In some
cases it has doubled, the increase being
specially noticeable in large establish
ments. This business is essentially an in
dicator Of the moment. Supply equals
demand. We cannot store our goods
away In barns and warehouses and wait
for the market to rise or the trade to
come to us. Instead we are controlled
by the demands of the hour. Take the
chocolate trade alone. Americans are
only now beginning to awaken to the nu-
tritive and delightful qualities Of good
chocolate and chocolate candies. Euro
peans have been familiar with this for
years. During the past year or two our
trade In this line has increased by
bounds until to-day half Of our custom

Our business has been more prosperous
in the last three years than in the entire
previous history of the company. This Is
true not only of Chicago, but elsewhere.
1t Is chiefly due to two causes. Not only
has the telephone established itself as
necessity to business and private inter
ests, but 1t Is also owing to the pro-
'nounced prosperity which has been gen
eral throughout the country. AS l said,
the growth of the Chicago company in
these years has been equal to the entire
growth before that time. Personally
believe that any material change in the
present policy Of government would af-

very accurate description Of the attitude

THE president laid This subject of
trusts before Congress, and an amend
ment 10 the Constitution was proposed
by the Republicans of the House of
Represer taiives during the last session.
1t provided that Congress should have
the power to define, regulate, prohibit
or dissolve trusts, monopolies, or COM
binations whether existing in the form
OF corporation or otherwise. The
several States may continue to exercise
such power in any manner not in con-
fiict with the laws of the United States.
Here was such an opportunity as the
Democracy had Lever had TO demon
strate the sincerity of its declarations.
The amendment came 10 vote. The
Democrats with one or two excep-
tons, voted solidly against it. The
Republicans with one or two excep-
tions), voted for ii. The Democrats
could have completed the two.thirds
vote required by the constitution. They
did not. They voted against the prop
osition with practical unanimity.
