Agulnaldo'S next bit of encourage
ment will be carried in the Kansas City
platform.
The political organization that de.
pends upon the unrest and discomfort
ment for its success is an excellent thing
to deprive of power.
The value of raw sugar in the coun-
tries of its production was 25 per cent
higher last March than the average
price in 1897.
Republican legislation has tied our
hands; we could do no great amount of
harm in four years." Are the voters
prepared to turn the government over
to men who come to them with such
appeals?
The Kentucky Democrats may find
the locking up of the Republican ma
jority rather costly thing before they
are done with it.
Whether it is better to keep on pay
ing 5000, ,00O,0 a year to foreign ship
owners, or Iegislate so that American
ships may earn that money and keep it
at home, is one of the things Congress
will decide before adjournment.

The closing of the mill opens a fresh
petal of Democratic hope. Fortunately
few such openings and closings are TAX
ing place now days.
A Kansas editor has referred to the
Hon. Champ Clark as "a diamond pin
in the shirt front of freedom" Those
who have witnessed the manner in
which the gentleman from Missouri
hops about from issue to issue are dis
posed to regard him as sort of Inch
pin in the shirt front of f1eadom.
The unusual enthusiasm shown at
recent State conventions, and the earn
est efforts put forth to get places on the
ticket by the Republican candidates,
form good evidence that they are con-
vinced that this is winning year.
Notice has been served on the gold
Democrats that, if they will return to
the fold, the Chicago platform will be
changed to the extent of varying the
order of the subjects treated, and if
they insist on still further changes,
those having the matter in charge may
shift the 16 to 1 plank round 80 as to
read 80 to 2. But all backsliders who
come in under this new confession of
faith must do works meet for repent
ance before they can hope to have
place at the pie counter.

The Democrats are very much in
need of few more principles and few
less expediences.

With our iron ore in the ground,
ready to be mined, our rolling mills in
readiness to make shapes for shipbuild-
ing, and our shipbuilders all ready to
begin the upbuilding of an American
marine, it will be sad thing
for Congress to neglect to provide the
necessary legislation to that end before

If the Democratic party could secure
a new platform, new managers and a
new candidate as easily as they secure
a new convention hall, the Republicans
might not feel so confident of the result
Of the coming election.

The Pacific Slope, from Puget Sound
to Lower California is unit for expan-
sion. The voters out there will no more
vote to retire from the Philippines than
New Workers would vote to abolish all
commerce. 1t is not difficult
20 convince them that trade follows the
lag.
If the hard times that the country !
during the former administra-
ION were not on account Of but in spite |
If, Democratic effort to prevent them,
Ind the present prosperity is due not |
% Republican efforts to bring it about.
'ut in spite of the same, the only safe
hing for the lover of prosperity to do
to endeavor to keep that party in
'ower whose blunders make good times.

1t would be amazing enough if the
of the free traders that |
lothing will be done for American
hipping at the present session of Con-
,ress, and that nothing can be done for
American shipping at the next session,
hould turn out to be prophetic.
