croker,s victory.

The nomination OF Croker slate
ticket by the Democrats OF New York
yesterday means the ascendancy OF
Croker and all that is vicious and i'm
pure In politics, and the dethronement
OF David B. Hill and his followers, who
represent the decent. old line Democ-
racy, those who believe In the principles
promulgated years ago by the sage Of
Gramercy," Samuel ]. Tilden. 1t also
; marks an epoch in the history OF the
New York Democracy by the initiation
Into state politics of that personlaca-
tion Of political outlawry. Dick Croker,
who stands at the head Of an organlza-
,tion that has heaped contempt and hui
J initiation upon the government of the
greatest city in America.
Croker ut last Is supreme In the coun-
! ellis Of his party, and the greatest leader
the Democracy Possesses in the whole
country has been ground under the heel
Of this debased,; uncouth and unprinci-
, pied product OF the slums Of the Bow
cry. .i
Bryan and Croker now appear side by
side in the Empire state, ranHng about
trusts and imperialism, when in fact,
mo emperor ever had more absolute
power over the liberty of his subjects

ever more. pernicious example Of the
combination of capital for the purpose
Of expressing William Jennings Bryan's
S'plain people" than the notorious Ice

to life by the power of Dick Croker.
For these reasons. and countless more
thaticouid be enumerated, there is lit
tie doubt that the Infamous orgaulza-
ton which controlled the New York
state Democracy ut Saratoga will go
down to ignominious defeat in Novem-
Der before the party that named the

Republican Policy Justified.

In Justification Of the policy OF the
Republican party towards Porto Rico
1t is only necessary to point out the
rapid development Of the commerce be-
tween the United States and tina;
country since the new act passed at the
last session OF Congress. which went In
to effect May |. 1900.
Imports into the United States from
that Island have increased 80 per cent
over those OF one year ago. and are
three times rs great MS the average
when Porto Rico was Spanish territory,
while exports to the island have IL
creased nearly $50 per cent over one
year ago. and are nearly five times as
much as the average when Porto Rico
was Spanish territory. During thr
month OF July, whose figures have just
been completed by the treasury bureau
OF statistics, the exports from the Uni
ted States to the island were s529,725.
against 500, 466 In July. 1899. and $780,
296 In July, 1897. and sl5G.296 In July,
1897. Taking the entire three months
In which the new act has been in oper-
alton. May, June and July. the exports
to the island were s2.l17,207. against
3S73,453. In the corresponding months Of
1899. siS5.279 In the corresponding
months of 1897. and s393.225 In the cor
responding months OF 1896. On the I'M
port side the figures for July. 1900. were
SG40,023. against S44S.267 in July. 1899.
sl45.273 In 1897 and s25i.G76 In July. 1896.
1t Is apparent. therefore. from an cx-
animation OF these figures that Imports
from Porto Rico In the three months
operation OF the new law are fully ifty
per cent in excess of those for the cor
responding months of 1899, when The
island was under the American flag. but
the former tariff relations yet unaffcct-
cd. while they are nearly three times ms
much ~ in the corresponding months
OF the closing years OF Spanish control
of the Island. Taking the export side
OF the picture the evidences OF growth
are still more plainly apparent. The.
exports from the United States to the
Island In May. June and July. 1900,
amounted to s2,1l7.2O7. ngainst Ss73, 453 In
the corresponding months OF 1899, 1885,
2To in the corresponding months OF 1897
and S3o3.225 In the corresp0ndiy
months OF 1896. Thus the exports uu-
der the new law are nearly two and
one-hhlr times us much as In the cor
responding months OF 1899. when the la-
land was under the american flag. but
the tariff relations yet unaffected. and

TO decline voting because practically
assured that others will vote is but 10
give the latter an undue share OF pollt-
iical power and to forfeit the right to
complain OF any abuse oft.
"The obligations OF citizenship arc
avoided, not performed. by standing
neutral In an election.
THE voting power Is trust which

The BRYAN speer at Historu.

New York Sun: Bryan is either fun
damentally ignorant of his country S
history or he is shamefully trying to
mislead public sentiment. He accuses
the Republicans Of being In the wrong
and revolutionary in buying the inhab-
itants of the Philippines at so much per
head, although there have In the past
been five great national purchases OF
the same nature, chiefly under Demo-
cratic Presidents.
In 1903 Jefferson paid sl5.OOo,OoO for
Louisiana. That was higher price per
head. If the bargain is to be so describ-
ed, than was given for the Filipinos.
In 1919 General Jackson gave s5,OOO,OOO
for Florida. This, also, exceeded Phil
ippine quotations.
In 1S4S President Polk paid s1S,25O,OO0
for New Mexico and California.
In 1858 President Pierce paid slO,OO0,-
900 for the Gadsden territory.
In 1867 President johnson paid $780,
900 for Alaska.
In all, prior to the purchase of the
Philippines, we paid about $4,000. 900 for
new territory, In one Of which was the
inhabitants consent to be governed
ever asked for, and In none Of which,
when consent was forcibly refused. did
the authority Of the United States fail
TO be upheld by the occupant Of the
white house and the military forces
under his command.
This Democratic assault upon the
present administration. which is fol-
lowing bravely in the footsteps Of Its
illustrious predecessors in expanding
American territory. is dastardly pre-
tense. without the shadow of historical
justification. To the Bryanltes 1t is n
mask for free silver. To faithless gold
Democrats 1t is mask for Organism.

Croker's Bryanism.


No decent Democrat should be fooled
by Boss Crokers professions OF his love
for Bryan, when In January, 1899, he
was an avowed advocate OF expansion,
expressing his belief sin holding what
ever possessions we have gained by an
neXation, purchase or war" When
Croker turned tall on the professions,
and caught hold of the tail of the Tam
many Tiger and switched 1t around for
Bryan, 1t inspired one OF the free Sill
yer journals of New York City to re-
mark: FF
This is to be a signal to the whole coun-
try that the reform forces OF the nation
have been solidfed and that McKinleyism
must aow face united Democratic party
j means Tint the attempt TO re-clect
President Mckinley will be practically
hopeless. New York state is lost TO the
Republican party. 1850
This provokes the Philadelphia In
quirer to exclaim that I'VE shall see
about that. 1t is very true" 1t says.
that the Tammany otlice-holders care
nothing about the country's conditions.
Free silver or gold, free trade or pro-
lection. expansion or the giving up CT
territory, 1t Is all the same to them.
They are not expected to think.
But Tammany Isn't New York state.
and there ought 10 be enough voters
outside of Tammany, voters who do
think, to carry the state for Mckinley.
Once before. when the country was
prosperous. the Democratic party cap
turea 1t, and confusion. panic and bank
ruptcy followed.
That Lesson, we fancy. is enough. We
do not believe that prosperity Will take
any chance this year"

AS to Mr.. O!ney.


Mr.. Richard Olney. Mr.. Cleveland's
secretary OF state. has not made the
Gold Democrats rise rs one man to TO

Cleveland, has so far resisted the at
