eign Affairs, are expected to be pres ent. The plan to have young ladies representing each State iii the Union, i pull simultaneously upon cords, caus- ing the unveiling is a popular one. Among the selections thus far made are Miss Porter, daughter of the
 United States Ambassador, for New York; Miss Iruman, for California; Miss Peek, for Illinois, and Miss Jones, daughter of United States Sen. ator Jones, for Nevada. The com suggested for this honor by the citi- zens of each State from those intend ing to visit Paris on the date of the unveiling.
 There is great row in Paris over the fast running of automobiles. Dur ing the last two years the newspapers have recorded fatalities every single day. Often it must be said, 1t was the riders themselves who were killed by overturDing at sharp curves, smash ing against another automobile or hit ting wall at the end of a steep decline. Oftener, though, the auto mobile ploughed through d funeral procession. entered some shop or upset an omnibus, killing people in no way concerned in the new sport. The quarrel shows signs that it is destined to last q long time. Meanwhile the Prefect of Lepine, in answer to public opinion and pressure, has created a bicycle police squad similar to New York S. 1t began work by arresting thirty scorchers.
 A Butte, Mont, dispatch of April 2l, to the New York World, says; A strange malady which the Health Board believes is new form Of pneu- monia, but which the panic-stricken persons of this city call plague, has killed more than lj0 persons since the middle of March. There are now 250 i'll with the disease, which has proved fatal in nearly every instance. Those who are able are fleeing from the city. Death ensues within four days after the attack, and in the majority of cases much sooner than that. Many have died within twenty-four hours, and the average is within three days. Bodies of the victims turn black almost immediately after death. The lungs are apparently the first affected. There are frightful pains in the head and great difficulty in respiration Then the heart is attacked and death follows quickly. Many persons of prominence have succumbed and strangers seem particularly susceptl- blc to the disease. The majority of the victims, however, has been miners, which is not remarkable considering that Butte is the largest mining city in the world Most persons in Butte are convinced that the disease is a form of plague, and they think it was brought to the city from the Philip pines by returning soldiers, who car

RAW MATERIAL IMPORTS.

Manufacturers Buy More Freely and.
Make More Finished Goods.
One of the most interesting portions:
of the annual report of the treasury bu-
reau for 1900 concerns the importation
of manufacturers materials. +.
Crude and raw materials were more
largely imported than ever before, and
formed a large share of the total imports.
Those included manufactured tibers,
raw silk, wool, crude India rubber, hides.
skins, pig tin, and chemicals. The i'm.
portations of these articles amounted to.
the sum of $500, 264, LOG, which was 10
per cent greater than in any preceding
year. Then there were ARTICLES wholly
or partially manufactured, for use as ma
terials in manufacturing" which includ-
ed wood. leather. furs, cement, yarns,
oils, dyes, dye woods and certain chemi-
Gals, amounting to $SS, 433, $40. Taken
manufactures show an increase of S1O7.-.
375,69S over those Of the year 1899.
All these imports were taken by orr.
manufacturers to be worked over and re-
sold, and the returns indicate in the clear
est manner the prosperity Of the manu-
featuring business. Some Of these arti-.

have in the imports is constantly increas--
ing, and in the year just ended make by.
far the largest total in the history of our
foreign commerce. All of this means the.
better employment Of American labor.

On Of the most successful, distin-

has worked his way up to the presidency
of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Big
-Four railway systems, among the most
prosperous of our great trunk lines. Mr..

Advice to Gold Democrats:
What has happened since November,
1896, to warrant a reversal Of the judg.
ment which the American people then
pronounced at the polls? Under what
conditions have we entered on the pres
ent presidential campaign, and what, in
this regard, is the duty of patriotic citi.
zens, independent of, partisan %afillation !!
To the Democrat who voted for Palmer
and Buckner, as we'll as to the Democrat
who voted for Mckinley four years ago,
the situation to-day presents peculiar
embarrassments. Preferring to act with
his party, when possible, the patriotic
Democrat must, nevertheless, answer the
call Of duty, no matter in what direction
it leads him.
The second and supreme trial of the
great financial issue, which never should
have been dragged into partisan politics,
will be made at the polls in November,
1900. This test will, I believe, be con-
elusive. What are the conditions under
which it is to be made?
There is in the United States at the

the American farmer and laborer, must
address himself. And in the solution of
that problem he will find the present goal
of patriotism.
Hhe business man who does not inquire
into the politics Of his bookkeeper is
asked by the supporters. of Mr.. Bryan to
allow partisan politics to be injected into
the circulating medium through which he
carries on his business. . He refused in
1885, as he will refuse, I believe, in 1900,
to lmpute either Democracy or Republi-
canism to the dollar. He will say that
1T is not a political question, and that it
should not be made such. Asking him
self where he shall seek guidance in the
casting Of his ballot, he, like the laborer
and the farmer, looks out upon prosper
1ty. unprecedented. He sees trade follow
ing the flag all around the world, and
new markets opening to him under new
national responsibilities. He realizes, as
q business man, that these responsible
ties must be grappled with and adjusted
on a business basis. No policy of evasion
or retreat can commend itself to him.
Yet, into the field of partisan discussion
ne finds these responsibilities dragged,
like the dollars from his counting room,
by the politicians who seek his vote. And,
IKE the farmer and the laborer, he finds
his next national ballot invested with
UNIQUE Importance.
What will be the reply of the American
patriot, who is now asked to believe that
his home and his pocketbook are staked
on the mex turn of the ballot, that a
wrong decision spells ruin, and that he

were never before submitted to the Amer
lean electorate?
Bryan's election appears to
me impossible. = Good citizens,
irrespective Of party, should vote for Nc
klnley in November. That it is the duty
of patriots to do so I nave no doubt.
The safety of the American republic is
not menaced by a DOGGY, crowned with an
imperial diadem Of straw. The cry Of
imperialism is simply a pretext of the
Democratic leaders to save themselves
from the fatal blunder they made in
1896, the blunder of dragging the dollar
to the polls and e%ndeavoring to degrade
1t. Imperialism is not the paramount
issue, despite all efforts to make it so.
Now, as in 1896, the real issue is the
Silver Danger. That is the peril threat
ening this country, not the imaginary
evils attendant on the acquisition of new
territory, which was the inevitable re-
suit of a war for which the shriekers
against imperialism were largely respon-
sible. The only peril now threatening
the United States is ruin and ~retrogres-
sion under silver, the turning back of
the wheels of progress and prosperity
to the standards of China and Mexico.
and the abandonment of our position as
the greatest country in the civilized
world.
Shall we go forward or shall we turn
back? That is the question for the volt
ers in November. Under Mckinley we
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1900-09-20

go forward, under Bryan we turn back.
The coming test Of the silver question
at the polls must, in all human proba-
bility, be the final one. The will of the
voters twice registered will not be the
third time disputed. Each year that we
preserve our present money standard
gives it additional security. The Amer.
lean people do not. like experiments with
their currency, their school houses, their
churches or their savings banks. A re-
versal Of the popular verdict Of 1896
would mean a reversal Of all the achieve
ments that make up our national pros
perity. Bryan's election would mean that
the sovereign people had decreed that our
laborers shall be paid in silver, while
our foreign debts must still be paid in
gold.
Convinced as T am that the financial
question is the paramount issue in No
vember, 1900, US it was in November,
1896, it Is worth while for Democrats
who supported Mckinley, as I did, four
years ago, to ask what are the issues
upon which our party could have appeal
ed to the American people with fair pros
poets of success, and what we can con-
tend for in future contests, after this
economic and financial question is finally
settled. To my mind these define them
selves us reform in governmental admin
istration, economy in governmental ex-
penditure, the taxation and regulation Of
oppressive trusts and combinations, and
the immediate enactment of a Just and
honest scheme Of colonial government.
These would have been issues upon which
every patriot could have been honestly
asked to vote. Why should we not set
fairly about a reform in our old system
of taxation, and, at the same time, init
ate a departure which might we'll result
in throwing the cost of government upon
those who can best afford it? = = =
The silver problem solved once for all, as
it will be in November, the colonial prob
lem at once becomes paramount. We
must either give up Hawaii, Porto Rico

and shamefully abandon the righteous

must institute honestly and wisely and
administer economically an American CO.
lonial system, worthy alike of u new
possessions and of their mother country.

are, as a nation, incapable of nothing.
I fully believe in the future of the
American republic, and that we are wise
and brave enough to bear the burdens

ted us. Let US not falter at the thresh-
old. M. e. INGALLS,.

THE PATENT LAWS
BREED MONOPOLIES,
ADrummer Continues His Chats
on Trade Changes.
Reorganization Of Employing Companies
Affords Larger Opportunities to the
Men = Expansion Gives Drummers
New Fields.
Concluded from last weekly

Monopolies in this country are due
more to the patent system han any 9th
er, cause; the average trust could not mo-
nopolize it's product, and it will not try.
If it does, there is the same old remedy
which we free American citizens, who
are supposed to have something to say
in the election of our State legislatures,
can apply. We can pass State laws for
the regulation Of those m%onopolies. And,
by the way, speaking Of politics, the Re-
publican national platform declares
against monopolies and would propose
national legislation against them.
B. Gov. Roosevelt, a singularly clear
headed public man on civic questions, let
me tell you, sees the point. He would
iegislate against monopolies. I firmly
believe that this legislation will come,
and with it other laws intended to regu-
late industrial corporations, a good deal
as railroads and banks are regulated now.
Why not? When the trusts really get to
going SO that they themselves know what
they can do, and SO that they won't be
ashamed to show in what a cheap, prim-
tive, experimental stage most of their
methods now are, then, like the banks
and the railroads, they ought to be made
to "show down." and they will be.
Then the Wall street investor-for
whom we don't care anything in p%articu-
iar-will be protected from making bad
investments, and the unwary investors,
the widows and the orphans, whom GER
tain sand-bagging plutocrats like to tell
us about with SO many tears, will be
doubly protected. Moreover, the en-
ployes Of the trusts, the clerks in the
Offices and,the hands in the mills, can buy
trust stocks, and they will want to.
I spoke about the Wall street investor.
He hasn't been making so very much
money in industrial stocks of late. He
got caught lots Of times. Perhaps you
recall the case of the bicycle trust. The
promoters Of hat scheme went to GER
tain bankers in New York on an eighty
million dollar basis. 1t wouldn't go. 1t
wasn't worth the money. There wasn't
the property in plants, good will, etc.
About a year later the promoters, the
same promoters, no doubt, who had learn
ed q good deal in the meantime, came
back with the bicycle trust proposition on
a forty million dollar basis, and it went
at that; could earn dividends on the forty
millions. 1t is probably true that the
American Bicycle Company is not fully
satisfied with every single one of the mill
ion details of its business, but doubtless
it will get there. Other manufacturers,
and big manufacturers, in the bicycle
business will also, get there; and other
big trusts in the bicycle business are
bound to get there, too. You can't keep
q good man down-or a good proposition.
You can't corner all the capital and
brains in the country. Remember that.
But I was speaking about the investor,
the wary one, not the widow or the or
phans he has suffered on account Of the
