giving valuable hints on cookery for
camping parties in the Woman's
Home Companion. Before dressing
the qusil cover them all over with hot
ashes, let them remain u quarter Of an

Democracy in a Hole.

Washington, March 2T.-"We are
willing to acknowledge our disappoint-
ment," remarked very prominent
Democratic senator Sunday, in talk
ing on the subject of the enormous in
crease, under the Dingley tariff law, in
the foreign trade of the United States.
The Democrats predicted when the bill
was before Congress that it would de-
stroy the export trade in manufactured
goods, but the increase has been at
greater rate than ever before in the
history of the nation.
This Democrat continued: I'VE can
not deny the fact. 1t is useless to try
and explain it away. The tariff will
cut no figure in the coming campaign,
so far as as our side is concerned. The
currency question has turned out the
same way. Free silver is just as dead
as though it were in its coffin. Impe-
rialism as an issue is folly. Unless the
Republicans get to quarreling among
themselves we have not the least hope
of electing Il president with Bryan as
a candidate. / made speeches for him
in the last campaign, but l will not do
so this year"
Every months statistics of our for
eign commerce makes matters worse
for the Democrats. The details for the
eight months ending with February are
as remarkable and as gratifying as
those relating to the grand total for
that month, which, as ;innoun,ed some

COLORADO FOR THE REPUBLI-
CAN TICKET.

Signs are becoming plentiful that
this state will throw of the yoke of
Democracy at the coming election and
again assume its place in the Repub-
ican column, where 1t properly be
longs The issue of the coming cam
paign will undoubtedly be the question
of expansion, and there is no more
vital question to this state. With our
great coal fields and magnificent de-
posits Of iron ore, situated midway Of
the continent, expansion means the de-
velopment of our manufacturing re
the Orient, that no other portion of our
country can compete with.
West of this state COAL which is the
fuel for manufacturing interests, can
only be found in limited quantities,
while this state has 1t in limitless
abundance, with which no other state
or territory in this contingent can COM
pare. With such possibilities for man
ufacturing as this state presents, with
no possible competitor. What folly it
would be for the people to oppose ex-
pansion and to adopt the Democratic
policy on this great question. So vital
is it to the people of this state that
Senator Teller just before he started
for Cuba, in a forcible and earnest
speech in the Senate, placed himself
squarely on the side of expansion.
The business men all over the state
can see the bright future there is for
Colorado by reason of carrying out the
expansion policy of the Republican
party, and certainly the good sense of
the people of this state, now that the
financial question is out of the way,
will cause them to range themselves
on the side of progress and expansion.
The Democratic party simply occu-
pies the position of a party of opposi-
ton. When there is no war, 1t wants
war; when the war was on it did what
it could to bring it into disgrace and
opprobrium. With no ability to solve
pending governmental problems, as
was fully demonstrated when 1t was in
power, Win n majority in both houses
of Congress, it now occupies position
of common scold and fnult-finder.
Against the policy of such a party GER
tainly the voters of this state will ally
themselves with the party that has
taken every step of progress that has
been taken by this nation for the last
forty years, and which is now in favor
of the policy of expansion. 1t means
the development of the manufacturing
interests of this state and the conse-
quent great growth of prosperity Of
this commonwealth.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1900-04-10

days ago, surpassed the record OF any
preceding February. An Increased i'm
portation Of raw materials for the use
OF our manufacturers and an increased
expectation of manufactured articles
are the striking features Of the Feb
ruary statement of imports and ex-
ports. The importation of ARTICLES in
a crude condition which enter into the
various processes of domestic indus
try amounted in the eight months
ending with February, 1900, to $780,
337, ,T54, against $134, 7S1, ,199 in the cor
responding months Of the preceding
fiscal year, an increase of 100000, 900;
while expectation of manufactures in
the same time were $26S, ,537 ,9I2,
against $2O6, 500, 1897 in the correspond
ing months of last year, an increase Of
$81, 100000.
Thus the importation Of manufactu-
rers' materials increased during the
eight months in question $60,OOO,OOO
and the expectation OF manufactured
goods increased $61 10000 in the same
time.
