ing the eastern business interests into
the belief that if Bryan is elected the
financial policy of the country will be
reversed.
Bryan's fatfooted declaration that
imperialism and not'the financial ques-
tion is the chief issue rather upsets
these calculations. After Bryan's
speech Hanna changed his tune and
declared that the republicans were not
going to have any walkoyer and that
it would take plenty of money to de-
feat Bryan.
This administration has been kind
guardian to all sorts of special inter-
ests. There have been no restraining
laws to- hamper trusts and even the re-
sources of the treasury have been al
their disposal. On one plea and an
other Hanna is rolling up a fine cam
paign fund.
1t worries the republicans though
that there is SO much apathy in their
own ranks. Their people don't seem
to take any interest in the Philadelphia
platform. In fact one never hears of
it at all.
The business interests of the country
are beginning to realize that impe-
rialism by unsetting the very founda-
tions of government threatens all sta
bic business. They are beginning to
realize that imperialism must be de-
feated and that no other issue matters
much until that is settled.
The official record of strikes and
shutting down of factories reported at
the Federation headquarters in Wash
ington shows that the alleged mid
summer stagnation is really reaction
from the republican prosperity which
has been SO widely heralded.

DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY.
Increase of Wealth Among Priyi-
legged Ones Favored by Glass
Legislation.

The accumulation Of money IN the
financial institutions of this country,
in great measure due to the extor-
tions practiced upon the people, is so
great that one of them announced it's
willingness to take the whole of the
British war bond issue Of $50000.000.
Others are equally anxious, though hav-
ing less money, while the general sub
scription amounts to more than the
whole issue. The time has evidently
passed when this country must look
to England for money. There is more
idle capital in America waiting for in
yestment than there was. ever. before,
notwithstanding the fact that the gov
ernment is expending untold millions
abroad in criminal war of conquest
with no results to show for it. The
producing masses are toiling harder
than ever before and receive less re-
turn for their labor than they did
decade ago, though their expenses have
been increased through arbitrary ad
vanees in trust prices by fully so per
cent.
n Ia pld lHCEedSS III "tdIGl ID uOlfSC"
able among the privileged ones favored
by class Legislation, while the produ.
cling masses are to-day in far less
satisfactory .conditionathan before the
last panic. The much-vaunted pros
perity is all one-sided. It does not ex-
tend to the common people, but re-
mains confined to the classes to such
an extent that the immense accumula-
tion of idle money must needs look for
profitable Investment abroad. No one
will pretend to say that this is a healthy
condition of affairs. When the wealth
of nation becomes concentrated in the
hands of the few to the exclusion of
the many, when the nonprodueing
classes absorb all and leave nothing to
the real wealth producers, the time to
make a radical change in national af-.
fairs is at hand. The legislation which
has created privileges for the few
whereby they are enabled to amass
enormous wealth at the expense of the
many must be repealed and equal
rights once more established.-Denver
Post.

it is fact of peculiar significance that
Mr.. Bryan could reply to the notifica-
tion committee in a speech bearing as
little trace of partisan politics as the
|.constitution of the United States or the
declaration of independence. This does
not indicate that Mr.. Bryan is not a
good democrat, but rather that the
democratic party is contending not so
much for certain theories of admins
tration in a free government as for free
government itself Hence it is that,
fighting for the very existence of the
republics, the position of the patriotic
citizen who stands for free government
and the position of the democratic par
ty becomes identical. Mr.. Bryan was
great enough to recognize this. Mr..
Bryan's speech was remarkable on ac-
count of the things he said. Mr.. Nc
Kinley's Canton speech was chiefly re-
markable on account of the things he
did not say. The Canton speech abounds
in vague intimations and promises. 1t
does not hold out to the Filipinos the
faintest hope either of independence on
the one hand or Of the freedom and
rights of American citizenship on the
other.
The voter has on:y to read so much
of Mr.. McKinley's speech as relates to
this subject in order to find this state
ment to be correct. He will find some
thing about giving to the Filipinos as
much self-government as they are fit
for-as though the right of people 10,-
900 miles away to seIf-goyernment was
not God given right, but right to be
granted by some authority in Wash
ington. But he will find not the faint
est whisper of such a thing as indie
pendence for people over whom we
have no authority except such as Spain
somehow is supposed to have had a
right to give us.
In Mr.. Bryan's speech, however, the
voter may find pledge that if he is
elected he will convene congress at the
earliest moment to declare the nations
purpose:
First. To establish a stable form of
government in the Philippine islands.
Just as we are now esta blishing stable
form of government in Cuba.
Second. To giyesindependence to the
Filipinos, just as we have promised to
give independence to the Cubans.
"Third. To protect the Filipinos from
outside interference while they work
out their own destiny, just as we have
protected the republics Of Central and
South America and are by the Monroe
doctrine pledged to protect Cuba"
This is a sufficiently clear and sue
cinct statement of the democratic po-
sition. Of its correctness, of course,
there can be no doubt.
This, with what Mckinley says, and
with what he significantly omits to say,

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

-Democracy's course grows steadi-
ly stronger with the people.-Albany
Argus.
Republican efforts to befog the
issues and deceive the voters have
failed. They must face the verdict on
McKinley's record.-Albany Argus.
IF his interviews with Hanna con-
tinue, Roosevelt promises to change
into fairly good imperalist before the
end of the campaign.-St. Louis Re
public.
The rise in the prices of trust
articles is long way out of proportion
to the rise in the prices of the farmers
products. This is what enables the
trusts to contribute SO literally to the
administration campaign fund. The
thoughtful agriculturists will be able
to see that they are the men who are
making Mr.. Hanna so recklessly af-
fluent in politics.-Cincinnat Enquirer.
Chairman Hanna has gone to
Boston to scare the New England bene-
ficiaries of the protective tariff into
giving up d pCISShtdSE VI LHSit pluu~
der for the use of the republican ma
tional committee. 1t is said that just
before leaving New York Mr.. Hanna
received a big check from Coils p.
Huntington. 1t will be recalled that
nothing practically has been done by
therepublican congress to forward the
Nicaragua canal project. Philadel-
phia Record.
Attorney General Monnett, of
Ohio, boldly declares that the repub-
Hcan leaders are in league with the
trusts to enable them to rob the peo-
pie and destroy the very foundations
of free government. He states the un-
questionable truth that many of the
necessaries of life are from so to 400
per cent. higher than they would be
if trust control were removed and that
this condition is brought about by
governmental favors conferred by the
republican party. The republican
party has prevented the passing of any
effective law for the suppression Of
trusts and is now trying in every
way to divert attention from them

THE OUTLOOK rs BRIGHT.
with such a Leader as Bryan, Dem.
ocratsc Victory Is Almost
Assured.

Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance at
indianapolis is without doubt the po-
htical event of paramount Importance
in the present campaign. Mr.. Bryan
received at the hands of the democratic
party the nomination for the presi-
dency. A partisan utteranee upon this
occasion would have been pardoned-
nay, more, was even expected by the
country at large. Tradition and prece-
dent exist to justify candidate in such
course. He of Canton-Mark Hanna S
man-who was recently notified of a
nomination, took occasion to plead for
the principles of a party and in the
cause of an administration. In multi
farious terms he told what Eve" had
done, and fairly reyeled in the deeds of
''us." The republican party was de-
fended-eyen apologized for. And Will
liam Mckinley accepted at the hands
of those who bore the stamp of the re-
publican party the nomination for the
presidency of the United States. Mr..
McKnley's speech of acceptance will
go down in history as the statement of
a Pdi ~ Cnie1 10 LIS party 1oifoWtl 81
But how different is the tone and tenor
of Mr.. Bryan's indianapolis address.
Mckinley spoke to party-Bryan to
a nation; Mckinley plead the cause of
an Observation-Disclosures the cause of
a people. Mckinley defended the prin-
ciples of a party; Bryan spoke in de-
fense of the principles that are at the
foundation of free government; McKin-
ley spoke as candidate, but Mr.. Bryan
spoke as an American citizen.

the past month the events have been
productive Of much encouragement to
the democracy.
The dissolution of the gold democ-
racy at a regular meeting, and the
quick assimilation of all its influen-
tial members by the regular party
marked the end of the truaRcy OF
1896. When the Ohio Bar association
met in yearly convention few weeks
later and the president, Judge A.. p.
Laubie, lifelong republican, de-
nounced Mckinley $ policy of imperial
ism, he found no dissenters, though
fully half the members were repub-
hcans.
Quickly following this, DR.. Silas G.
Swallow, candidate for president of
the United Christian party, addressing
his followers in a convention said: IF
we must choose between the two cam
didates of the old parties, l must say
thatIshould support a man who clings
to principles and adheres to what he
believes to be right rather than tho
man whom the people never knew
where to find on any vital issue" Ac-
cording to the press reports, this
statement was received with remark
able expressions of approval. During
the same week Father Heldman, a
prominent Catholic clergyman of Chi
cago, in an address before the Ger
man Veteran league brought the en-
tire audience to its feet in sponta-
neous expression of approval when he
scored the administrations policy in
the Philippines and Porto Rico.
In Ohio the detection from republic
an ranks has been especially marked.
The Germans who gave Mckinley such
strong support in 1896 are coming
over in droves to Bryan. Besides this
Frank S. Monnett and C1eyeland's for

emit element headed by Jones, of To-
ledo, are practically unit for Bryan
this year. 1t will be remembered that
Jones polled 12o. 900 votes when he ran
for governor last year.

| sufficiently defines the issue as to the
! Philippines. A m
The broader issue of imperialism,
which includes that of the Philippines,
may be stated thus:
Mr.. Bryan stands upon the doctrine
of the decla ration of independence, that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed.
Mr.. Mckinley stands for the utter
reputation of that doctrine and for
'sthe doctrine of the thrones, that man
is too ignorant to govern himself and
! must be subject to those who rule by
superior might and divine right. S
Mr.. Bryan upon leaving Indianapolis
went to Chicago. where he has been in
conference with the leaders of the par
ty at headquarters. To say that the
outlook for. the democratic party at
the present time is hopeful would be
putting it mildly. Mr.. Bryan's speech
seems to have put a new aspect upon
the campaign. kilograms of congratu-
lation from republicans and gold demo-
Gratis have been literally pou#ing in up
on Mr.. Bryan and the executive COM
mittee. influential papers that have
been hesitating as to their policy, upon
receiving Mr.. Bryan's speech openly
indorse the candidacy. The converts
Of week would fill column. When
such conservative papers as the Spring
field Republican become enthusiastic
for the success of the party; when
such papers as the Boston Post, the
New York World and the Baltimore
Sun, all of which supported Mckinley
in 90, openly indorse Bryan, the out
look must be considered bright.
But these papers have not been the
only additions to the force Of the
militant democracy. Wherever large
bodies of men have gathered during

A use has been discovered for old

that these often contain enough carbon
to permit of making cold chisels.
Forging into the necessary form is
easy and the additional carbon re-

way cost half as much as the high

The magnitude of the escurial, the
