A Speech Tint Made a Hit.

n SpGecD InBt MAOe n nit
Edward Hanlan. ex-champion oars
man of the world, related a good story
of how he delivered a speech after
winning his second race in England.
His first victory had found him unpre-
pared. He was ready for his second
newspaper friend neatly copied out on
paper and stored away for use in his
coat pocket.
When the crowd outside the club
house insisted upon seeing and hearing
the winner, he was helped out upon a
window ledge by his friends and held
there by the coattails and the legs.
The crowd cheered him wildly. He
was too confused to speak. They
cheered him again. He threw out his
hand in a gesture of helplessness and
moved his lips in some inaudible num-
BILE of apology for his inability to deliv-
er a speech. They could not hear on
account of the noise that they were
themselves making, but they encourag-
cd him with generous applause. He
saw his escape and proceeded to shake
his head and work his lips in fine
frenzy of oratory, gesticulating elo-
quently and smiling his thanks. The
noisy and good natured crowd cheered
him to the echo, and his friends drew
him in from his precarious position on
the window ledge.
"You carried that crowd along in
STYLE" they congratulated him. What
did you say? We couldn't hear you"
Eyes. Give US an idea of your speech"
the reporters put in, drawing out their
notebooks.
Hanlan took the manuscript from his
pocket. Here's the whole thing" he
said. do you want it all?"
"Well rather" they answered. THAT
speech made hit."-Argonaut.

PROSPERITY is IHE lssuEl

Against all the rant and fustian of
the Organized Democracy about impe-
rialism, militarism, plutocracy, the OPP
preston of the masses, the "accurs-
ed voice of greed" etc, the Republic
ans have one ringing reply always
ready to hurl back-the single word
PROSPERITY.
Invariably prosperity has accompa-
MED Republican administrations, and
business depression and hard times
have accompanied Democratic admin
istrations. This fact constitutes an I'M
answerable argument for the Repub-
lican cause, and it is quite enough in
itself for any candid and rational man.
The Republican paramount ISSUE
in this campaign is the prosperity Of
the country and the desirability of con-
tinuing that prosperity. In opposition
to this great overshadowing fact of ma
tional prosperity the Democrats and
Populists have nothing to offer except
abstract theories. Such theories have
little effect on the man with full din
ner pail or the merchant with more Or
ders than he can find time to fill.
Facts as to Labor and Wages.
1t Is easy to assert that prosperity is
great and increasing. but the latest Of
fetal figures, both state and national.
prove the assertion. Take, first, the
case of labor and wages. The facts,
as furnished by the labor organiza-
tons themselves, show that wages
have steadily advanced under the pres
ent administration. Here are a few
typical instances of increase during
the wear 1899:

that it was matter Of principle with
him not to write too well. He declared
that for the use of printers, good hand
writing was only snare and delu-

and mistakes on their part. The COM

to devote their very best care and at
tention to bad handwriting, with the
result that. when it was deciphered. II
was so fixed in their minds that it was
impossible for them to set it up in

God has given US capacity to enjoy
food. That is not the principal object
in eating. One goes to dinner and
after eating all that he really desires
and more than is beneficial thinks he
will add little of the compounds they
call dessert-the invention of the dev-
i-and becomes uncomfortable and
wretched. Most of the desserts we
have might be called ''fricasseed night
mare" or ''escaloped indigestion" Eat
ing becomes idolatry if 1t becomes un-
fitting for higher service. 1t is a crime

Bryan,s Skin as a Prophet.

Mr.. Bryan has resumed his stamping
tours, and, as usual, his speeches are
made up largely of predictions. Some
of his former predictions make inter-
esting reading nowadays. In 1896 he
prophesied as follows Before the
year 1900 arrives the evil effects of q
gold standard will be even more evil
dent than they are now, and the
people, then ready to demand an Amer
lean financial policy for the American
people, will join with us In the i'm
mediate restoration of the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the present
legal ratio of 16 to L." AS prophet,
Mr.. Bryan certainly has unique
record. The only prediction he ever
made that was fulfilled was the pre-
diction that he would be defeated in
1896.

SOUTHERN CRITICISMS.
All In Not Perfectly Serene For Bry.
am Even In Dixie.

All In Not Perfectly Serene For Bxy-
an Even In Dixie.
Bryan is counting on the vote Of the
entire south, but good deal Of grum-
bling and criticism is beginning to be
heard In that section. Listen to the
Nashville (Tenn.) Banner:
"The south in the present presiden-
tial campaign is running contrary to
its every practical interest for the sake
Of tradition and a party name. There
is nothing in Mr.. Bryan's policy which
and farsightedness. Should the south
look well to it's own future it would
take a progressive view instead OF
clinging to political memories of the
| moldered past and tying itself to hurt
full policies for the sake of mistaken
temporary expedieney which not only
ignores the best interests of so great
a section, but also goes counter to the
best principles and traditions of the
party in whose name the incongruOus
elements of Organism are working"
The Dallas (Tex) News is still more
plain spoken: ''Would that some power
full guardian could deliver the Demo
cratic party from the mistakes of some
of the fools who are now lowering
about it."
In Arkansas Morgan's Buzz Saw,
published at Hardy, is making the
sawdust fly at great rate. Here are
few of its chips:
mo party In this country that en-,
courages our enemies In war will be
supported by the people. This is his
tory"
1.-THE worst Imperialism we know of
is that which robs our own citizens Of
the right of suffrage, and the Demo
cratic party is the champion of that
branch. The Democratic party places
much stress on bossism, yet 1t curls up
on the floor before one of the most OBJ
stinate and tyrannica1 bosses in the
whole country"
bryan has bought him little farm
and is posing for the sympathies of the
farmer, but he is about as much Of a
farmer as he is a soldier. There is
only one thing in which Bryan can be
said to be proficient, and that is talk.
Nobody denies this proposition"

Prosperity of the Farmers.

OF the exports for 1900, 81 per cent
was of manufactures and 81 per cent
of agricultural products. This leads
naturally to a consideration of the
farming industry. The statistics show
that the farmers have prospered under
McKinley's administration equally with
the manufacturers, merchants and ar
tisans. The total value of horses,
sheep and cattle in the United States
in January, 1896, was 81. 541 1886, 339; in
January, 1900, $2o42, S4O,S13, an in
erease under Mckinley Of $501, 444, 474,
Of nearly 33 1-3 per cent. Every single
state and territory shows an increase
and not one decrease. The value Of
the principal crops has been much
greater under Mckinley than under
the preceding Democratic low tariff
administration. For example, the
value of the wheat crop was, in round
numbers, 1856, 100000 In 1894 and 1892
00O,0 in 1898. The figures for corn,
cotton and other important crops are
similar to those for wheat.
