The Question of Economy

l. far reaching and has direct effect
upon the family and community as
the individual. To illustrate, young
lady in one of the Diamond Garment
Cutter schools claimed that she being
80 economical in the matter of dress,
having had but one fine aud three
plain dresses during the season, that
even learning the Diamond Garment
Cutter system would afford her but
little saving. We will admit that the
lady had been economical. vet when
the facts were obtained, her bills
were about $50 that she might have
saved by using the Diamond Garment
Cutter. There are five sisters in the
family and saving of the same
amount for each one is $3.50 each
season. or enough to pay house rent,
or in short time bUy Il nice home.
An equal amount spent twice year.
by half the people in Rock Island
would amount TO over one million
dollars. and vet we wonder why fam
lilies. or even whole communities are
eternaIly poor.

BRYAN'S PROTEST.
The Republican Policy Roundly
Scared by the Champion of
Democracy.

William J. Bryan is leader OF
thought, and be was the first great
thinker OF this country to protest
against Imperialism and to point out
its dangers to this republic.
1t rec uired n great deal Of courage
for a public man to oppose the trend
of war enthusiasm when il was at its
height. but armed with the courage
OF his convictions. Bryan spoke boldly
and now the people are with him.
Recently, in discussing the imperial
istic policy of the republican admin
istration, Mr.. Bryan said:
"ln all my speeches | devoted con-
siderable time TO the subject OF imperi-
siism. and l found that the argu-
mcnts against colonial policy were
well received.
II am convinced that effort to en-
graft such a policy upon our form of
government will ALLEVIATE more repub-
licans than have left the republican
party in any previous campaign. As
the purpose OF republican leaders TO
forcibly annex the Philippine islands
becomes more apparent, the defenders
of that policy become more and more
bold in their reputation of funda-
mental principles, and as the doctrine
Of force is more boldly avowed the dis
affection among the republicans in
creases.
''When the republican party meets

the speeches of Abraham Lincoln in
the next campaign it will find that
the gulf between Lincolnism and Han
naism is so great that the admirers of
the former cannot be followers OF the
latter.
IF the republicans assert that an
imperial policy will pay, they will be
compelled to put pecuniary value
upon the lives that will be sacrificed
In the purchase of the supposed adj
vantages. If they assert that the ma
ton is following Divine guidance in
the prosecution Of war of conquest
they will be compelled TO show the
credentials Of the man through whom
The Divine will has been revealed
If they assert that Circumstances
make IT, necessary to remain in the
Philippine islands, they will be met
with the reply that republican adj
ministration has created the circum-
stances which are relied upon to JUS
tify the retention of the islands"
Thus clearly and cogently does the
splendid logic of The democratic cham
pion meet and overthrow the argu-
ments Of the opposition.
Thus are the people enlightened and
thus is a brilliant light thrown on the
dark counsels OF the republican i'm
peria,rsts.
This kind of argument is unanswcr-
able aud the Mckinley forces in the
east are beginning to erumble before
the sustained attacks of William j.
Bryan.
Imperialism can never appeal to a
majority of the liberty-loving voters
Of this country. On this issue alone
the democrats can meet and defeat
their opponents, and when there are
joined to ii the argument against
trusts and the aggressions OF the
money power victory at the polls next
autumn will be practically assured

resentatives.

Since 1896, events have so shaped
themselves TO the detriment Of the ma
ton and the American people. that no
man can sean the principles laid down
in the Chicago platform without being
convinced that il is the true democratic
doctrine in every detail. and that TO
change a single line Of 1t would be u
qualification.
1t has been charged against the dem
ocratic party that il is too steadfasi in
its principles and that il is not a party
of progress. The plain answer TO that
is that il never has and never will pro-
gress in such fashion that the auton-
omy of the nation must be destroyed
to permit the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of =
special class and the ruin of the people.
1t desires no such progress as that con-
templated by the republican party; n
progress towards Imperialism and the
destruction of the individual citizen,
progress towards the establishment
Of separate sovereignty lorded over
by the president Of the United States,
progress which puts in the hands
Of favored class the money OF the
people; progress towards Industrial
slavery and the apoiheosis of plutoc-
racy. It's progress is based upon the
progress and welfare as well as happi-
ness and content OF the whole people.

Our nation is passing through great
political crisis. Whether our national
policy is to be one Of territorial expan-
sion, or whether we are to remain aloof
from international complications, Is the
supreme question confronting our Con-
gress. The attention Of the world is di-
rected toward us. The deliberations OF
eur Congress have come to DO Of inter
national Importance.
But this consideration affects only
our external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less import
ant. We have serious questions before
us that relate only to home interests.
Chief among them is the health Of our
people. Catarrh has already become a
national curse. Its ravages extend from
ocean to ocean. More than one-half Of
the people are affected by it. 1t has be-
come such serious matter that 1t has
passed the boundaries Of the medical
profession and become q national ques-
ton. Senators are talking about ii:
Congressman are discussing it. They
are not only considering the extent and
chronic nature of the disease. but the
possibility of finding national remedy
to meet this national calamity.
