I'm the happy farmer,
I'm in my highest glee;
Every man who makes speech
Is talking straight to me;
Hopes I'm making money
I'm Il regular pet,
Politicians all seem scared
For fear I'll get in debt.
I'm not wearing broadcloth,
I've no horseless rig,
Just the same, ut present
am feeling mighty big.

In satisfying mood
To find that he's the object

4 NUT FOR BRYAN AND CROKER.
There are at least two sides to the
trust question. Tt has not been gener-
ally supposed that trusts operate to the
advantage of wage earners, but it has
been discovered that some Of them do
Carroll D. Wright has made a study of
majority Of them formed in the past
two years, and the replies to his in
unskilled workmen have been advanc-
ed 1899 per cent. in the combinations
as against a raise of 1897 per cent. by
private concerns, while skilled labor re-
ceived an average increase of 1871 per
cent. from the trusts while ne
ceiving only an increase of 1925
per cent. in wages from private
companies. Mr. Wrights tabulated
report shows that the unskilled
workmen receiving less than S.
a week have been considerably increas-
ed, while there has been a reduction
in the high salaried men. The reports
of thirteen private companies are also
tabulated and while they show an in
crease of wages the increase is not
nearly so marked as in the case of the
so-called trusts
OF course this doesn't prove that the
trusts are all right, or even that some
of them are, but it is a different story
from that told by Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Croker.

GERMANY,S DEMAyD.

Germany's latest utterance concern
ing affairs in China is right to the
point. She announces that an indis-
pensable preliminary to the beginning
of peace negotiations is the delivering
up of those who were responsible for
the outrages against international law
which have occurred at Pekin. She
doesn't mean all who took a prominent
part in the crimes, but the
real instigators and leaders. And
she proposes that the cabinets
concerned should instruct their repre-
sentatives at Pekin to indicate those
leading Chinese from whose guilt in
instigating or perpetrating outrages all
doubt is excluded.
If anybody is to be punished for
what has happened in China, and most
civilized people believe somebody ought
to be, the German plan is a good one.
If something of this kind isn't done the
Chinese will be apt to think that the
foreign devils" aren't much to be feared
after all.

and by him at once taken to the Presi-

The action OF General Burlington closes
the incident and practically ends what

A Study of The Prophets
Special Correspondence

Washington, d. c., Sept. s, 1900.
Mr.. Bryan s speech of acceptance
was carefully prepared and was in
tended to be keynote for the
present campaign. 1t is worthy of
study as it is one Of the most pains
taking efforts ever issued by this
new school of politics. Yet like
all political utterances it is an ex-
parte statement composed of about
equal parts of charges against the
Republicans and promises of what
the Democrats will do in the event
of Bryan's election.
The Democratic candidate is an
experienced promiser and political
prophet and both promises and
prophesies are matters of record.
He speaks also not only for him
self alone, but for his party and
his statements must be weighed by
the actions of his party in the past.
Four years ago this young
prophet of the West declared that
the gold standard would make it
necessary to advocate the closing
of the public schools. Monmouth,
ILL.,, speech). To-day under the
gold standard there are more
schools and better ones than ever
before. The prophesy was false.
In his speech of acceptance he
said:
''Some argue that American rule
in the Philippine islands will result
in the better education of the Fill
pinos. Be not deceived. If we
expect to maintain a colonial policy
we shall not find it to our advant-
age to educate the people,"
This expression must have been
whispered into the speech by the
Southern wing of the party who
openly declare that they are tired
OF paying taxes to educate the ne
gro who by education simply be-
comes d greater rogue. Bryan
aflirms that the Republicans would
do with the brown man what the
Democrats are now doing with the
black man. Then by a peculiar
mental process which it is impossi-
bic to follow, he pillories the Re-
publicans for what he af1irms they
will do and endorses the Democrats
because they have done the same
thing. One course of conduct is a
fact, the other is simply assumed.
-Four years ago Bryan said, ''the
gold standard would destroy the
hope of the toiler, it would destroy
the opportunity to work, it would
increase the number of idle men,
it would discourage enterprise, it
would paralyze industry"
RECOMMENDATIONS to-day prove
the Ialsity of every one of these
prophesies. The toilers have hope,
there is opportunity to work, there
are fewer idle men, enterprise has
not been discouraged and industry
has not been paralyzed.
Mr.. Bryan however has fallen
into the habit of issuing lamenta-
