A DO-NoTHING PARTY.

(From a speech In Congress December
IA, by Congressman Gibson:)
The fact is, Mr.. Chairman, the Dem
ocratic party is strictly an anti-party
defy any of them to name law now
on the statute book put there by the
Democratic party in the last fifty years
that Is TO-DAY Of any benefit to the
American people, and especially to the
laboring man. And yet they always in
election times and in their speecne
pretend that they are the friends of tn .
laboring man.
The Republican party is the great
affirmative, progressive party of the
country 1t has led the way in evevy
forward step our country has taken In
the last forty years. 1T has put on the
statute book every law there that ben
efts the poor man, that builds ND
commerce, that helps the farmer, that
multiplies manufactures, and guards
the rights, liberties and privileges O
the American people. The REPUBLICAN
party for forty years has marched at
the head Of the great American process
sion, the flag of our country in it's right
hand, and the band playing Hail, Co
lumbia" and yankee Doodle. The
dogs barked and the donkeys brayed
but the procession Eaoved grandly on
1t has been well said that the Republi
can party proposes, the Almighty dis
poses, and the Democratic party op-
poses.

OTHER DOCUMENTS.
Another document relates to the con-
ference sought by General Otis with
Filipino leaders relative to the expedi-
ton to Iloilo, and says that General
Otis hopes to secure a deputation of
natives to accompany the expedition
in order to conciliate the insurrectos
there. There Is note with this doc
ument, saying that General Otis had
indicated that 1t was the purpose OF
the united States to annex the Phil
ippines, but that the general admitted
that there were two parties in the
senate.
A proclamation signed by Aguinaldo
on the Gath day of May, 1898, says: Il
see the Spanish government is unable
to struggle with certain elements
which constantly oppose the progress
of this country, and now, since the
powerful and great North American
nation has come, showing a disinter-
ested protection which will enable us
to secure the liberty of this country,
come to assume the command Of all
forces, ready to assure the attainment
of our revived aspirations"
He said he would first establish a
dictatorship and afterward govern
ment with cabinet.
The papers are all translations of
documents captured from the Filipino
forces.

WARNING TO REAL DEMOCRATS

There has never been time when
false leadership of our party and a
departure from simple Democratic
faith have not been quickly discovered
and ruthlessly rebuked by listless sup
port, pronounced detection and bite
defeat. These consequences have thus
far been so inevitable that lessons
they teach cannot be Disregard with
out inviting calamity.-Grover Cieve
land.
The political party founded by
Thomas jefferson cannot survive half
Democratic and half Populistic. There
must be either dissolution or restora
ton of pure Democracy. 1t is true
that many thousands Of us will again
support the nominees of our party, no
matter into what mistakes 1t may fall,
but it is equally true that many ether
thousands will forever abandon the
party IL 1t again supplants truth with
error. 1t is sufficient to know that 16
to is dead, and that just as long as
we proclaim our intention to resurrect
it, just that long will our resurrection
be postponed.-James Il. Campbell.
PROFESSIONALLY the silver question
split our party open, and as 1t is set
tied for at least four years to come and
we can never be united upon 1t, 1t

RIDICULOUS PROPOSITION.

John M. Pease, one of the founders
of the Populist party, in the Mt. Yer
non News:
1t is ridiculous when you come to
think of it soberly. A man who went
out Of the Republican party in 1889
and has for ten years persistently ad-
hered to his principles in the middle
of-the-road is political horse thief"
but the man who has abandoned the
Omaha principles and endorsed the
platform of an old opposition party,
and a candidate for president who is a
regular organization Democrat, and
refused to accept a similar endorse
ment four years ago. is gentleman
and a scholar, a political saint and
more honor and manhood to the square
inch than Rockefeller has money. 1t
is all right for Democrat to think and
talk that kind of stuff but when a
voter, who has himself passed through
the hot time" Of being mid-road
Pop does SO, it becomes ridiculous.

SHARPSHOOTING.
oooeoooooooeoooeoeoooeooo(

Five to ten per cent voluntary in
crease of wages has been granted by
the Leslie Lumber Company of Michi-
gan City. Thus does prosperity make
itself felt in the West.
The little men who propose to butt
the prosperity locomotive off the track
are the same who predicted national
calamity in case Of the defeat OF Bry-
an and his hobbies.
The Democratic editors are kept
rather busy these days heaping abuse

declaring for expansion.

PROSPERITY A SURE WINNER.

Lord Beaconsfield (Benjamin Disrae-
I'D was wise statesman In his day,
and shrewd observer of political
events. He remarked somewhere In
his works that a party in power con-
tinues to hold Office so long as the
country is prosperous, but that when
the bad times come, whatever their
cause may be, the ruling administra-
ton Is held responsible and is kicked
out in short order.
The truth of this proposition has
been frequently proven in American
politics, and never more signally than
In 1896, when the Democratic party,
under whose administration an unpar-
alleled pail of business gloom settled
power and Republican president and
Republican majority in congress sub
stituted.
Since prosperity has been restored
under the rule of the Republican party
and promises to continue indefinitely,
it is reasonable to suppose that this
party will be continued In power HUI
man nature today is the same as 1t was
in the time of Disraeli
A correspondent of the New York
Times, who signs himself Democrat,
recognizing the fact that the country Is
prosperous to degree unknown II
many years, raises the question as to-
whether the Democrats can prevail In
the coming national contest on any
platform. He says that the financial
legislation recently enacted by con-
gress, while fixing the gold standard
as the measure of our commercial
transactions, provides at the same
time for an imitation of the currency
which will inevitably send up prices of
all commodities He estimates the in
crease of national bank circulation un-
der the currency bill at 81 900, 600, 600
an estimate which is unquestionably
too large. But the imitation will un-
doubtedly be considerable, and the in
crease of circulating medium will nat
urally lead to higher prices of agri-
cultural and manufactured products of
all kinds. This era of rising prices
will put the voters In frame Of mind
to oppose any change of admiDistra-
tion.-Minneapolis Tribune.

SPANISH TAXATION IN PUERTO
RICO

The Puerto Rican sympathizers who
have been wondering why the Puerto
Ricans have not been making some
protests against the diabolical tariff
tax outrage that has been perpetrated
upon them, may find enlightenment In
some information concerning the
Spanish taxing methods collected last
fall by Special Commissioner Carroll
and just published in Washington
Mr. Carroll's information is "official'',
and undoubtedly may be accepted as
absolutely authentic. 1t shows that
under the old Spanish regime the
Puerto Ricans were perhaps the most
oppressively taxed people on earth.
They were not only required to pay
duties on imports but on exports. In
addition to these duties there was a
special tax on the loading and unload
ing of freight, making the taxation of
commerce the principal means Of rev.
enue raising. There were innumera
BILE direct taxes. Every merchant and
manufacturer was required to pay a
tax of 10 per cent on his income. He
had also to pay tax upon his real es-
tate and his personal property in pro-
portion to the income derived from 1t
Bankers and professional men paid
taxes on their salaries. New factories
or stores were required to pay a sps-
cial instaIiation tax. The transporta-
ton companies were heavily taxed and
passengers as well as freight were
compelled to pay taxes. The act of
breathing was about the only function
of the Puerto Ricans that was abso
lutely free from taxat ,on.-Sioux City

lures, with it's rivals on the worlds
markets. But once in the last thirty
years has there been departure from
this principle and the injury resulting
from 1t was enormous Bee.

say that We relegate silver to the rear

mind we cannot nominate Mr.. Bryan

FALSE PROPHETS ARRAIGNED

(From a speech by Congressman
Bailey of Kansas, delivered in Con-
gress on April 81
/ remember very distinctly in the
campaign of 1896 that the Pops
of Kansas carried in their torchlight
professions transparencies that read:
Vote for Bryan and dollar wheat!
Vote for Mckinley and ascent
wheat" And the honest farmer, who
was then suffering under the hard
times and business depression Incl
dent to Democratic administration,
that was then upon US, and was sell
ing his wheat at IS cents and his corn
from II to 16 cents, said, Things can
not be any worse than they are now,
and we will take dose Of this new
political nostrum and try 1t once any
way" But Mr. Mckinley was elected
President The gold standard is en-
acted into law, and today the farmers
of the great Middle West are getting
go cents for their wheat, 30 cents for
their corn; hogs, cattle and horses are
selling for from so to 100 per cent more
than they did in 1896, and then you
prophets of evil have the audacity to
stand up in the American Congress
and again make your prophecies of
misfortune that will come to the
American people II the party is re-
tanned in power under whose admin
istration prosperity has come in spite
of your predictions.

A PERIOD OF GREAT PROGRESS

A PERIOD OF GREAT PROGRESS.
A few days ago Secretary Gage de-
livered an address in Philadelphia, in
which he presented some highly inter
esting and instructive figures showing
the progress the United States has
made In the last thirty years. In that
period the population has increased
substantially 100 per cent, but marked
as this increase is it is far less than
the growth in nearly all other direc-
lions. In railroad extension and bus
mess. in manufacturing, in commercial
EXPANSION, in industrial development
and in almost all other respects the
percentage of growth has been several
times greater than that Of population.
In agriculture wheat and corn have not
much increased beyond the ratio of in
crease in population, but the diversity
of products has greatly increased
Mr.. Gage did not point out to what
this marvellous progress is largely due,
but everybody familiar with the his
tory of this period must be supposed to
know this. The policy Of the Republi-
can party in respect to American in
dustries and in maintaining a sound
financial system accounts for much of
our wonderful material growth In the
last three decades. The protective
principle has made the United States
the greatest industrial nation in the
world and has brought II to q condition
where 1t is able to successfully COM
