New Method of Pushing British
Trade.

The pressure of trade competition

Great Britain to utilize an extraordi-

traders with her superiority as great
trading and manufacturing nation ac-
cording to a report to the state depart
ment at Washington from United
States Consul Marshal Halstead, at
birmingham, England. The new scheme
is to scatter broadcast over the com

ufactures in every important center on
the globe. Great faith, 1t is said, Is
felt In this method of pushing British

InGsans play Cruel Joke.

"A good joke was put up on a lot
of surveyors and allotting agents
in the Comanehe reservation Mon
day. These men were surveying,
establishing corner stones and
getting everything ready to dish
out the land in quarter sections.
The Indians had not shown a very
friendly spirit. and the whole
party of whites were said to be
rank tenderfeet just from Wash
ington. The Indian loves a prac-
tical joke when the laugh is on
somebody else. and noticed that
the whites were scared.
The white camp was suddenly
invaded by a yelling, shooting
band of 500 bloody warriors. The
surveying party could not stand
the pressure, but lit out toward

They kept running till they got

is that lot of cowboys and a lo
of young bucks put up a job OF
the tenderfeet. Nobody was hurt
but there were doubtless many

known to be thoroughly corrupt, and a
constant menace to all the best interests
of good government.
Unity with Popu1ists.
Mr.. Bryan hardly appeals to the
thoughtful citizen, with whom political
parties are only agencies for public good
to the extent that they stand for funda-
mentally right principles and honest ad-
ministratiOn, when upon the one hand he
is presented by the Populists and on the
other by Tammany. The joining hands
with one constitutes an offense against
safety in governmental administration,
the alliance with the other an offense
against political decency, making it
doubtful as to his ability, no matter how
strenuously ne might try, to secure hon
esty in the conduct of public affairs in an
administration over which he presided
1t is not difficult to predict what would
be the outcome of any administration
based upon the socialism of Populism and
the rapacity of Tammany.
ReafIirming of 16 to
l am told that not few Democrats
who refused to sanction the nominee and
platform of the Chicago convention will
aid the nominee presented at Kansas
City, l doubt if there are many who will
do so. Why should they? The same
candidate has been named, the same doe
trines announced, only in more offensive
way.
1t must not be forgotten tha, the re-
affirming of the principles of the Chicago
platform was the repledging of an inten-
tion, when opportunity is afforded, to de-
base the country's currency. 1t was re-
assaulting the Supreme Court of the
country. 1t means realliance with the
elements of disorder, as against the prop
erly constituted authorities of peace, in
tegrity of property and person. 1t is the
announcing once more of a. desire to get
into power that the sacred right Of pri-
vatc contract under the guaranty of law
may be abrogated. 1t is the acceptance
of those elements of socialism which work
injury to both government and people.
In fine, the reafiirmation at Kansas
City was the re-aSserting Of the utter

tionary then, are none the less so now.

and protesting against any debasement of
the country's coin, will aid and abet
such a proceeding because of belief in
any injustice done by Great Britain to
some affiliated race ten thousand miles
away.
If Mr.. Bryan was statesman and not
a mere declaimer, and dealt in a states
manlike manner with American problems,
we would not be treated to the foods of
petulant fault-fnding and appeals to pre-
judice which are manifest in all that he
says, but would have instead suggested
solutions, grounded upon principles, and
in accord with the facts of national his
tory and national experience.
Distrust His Wisdom.
l am sure the American people rightly
distrust the wisdom of one who thus far
in life. has been a living expression, in
every address he has made Of that best
definition of the essential elements OF
stump speech, namely, to claim every
thing and denounce well.
= l am not unmindful of the fact that
there are many conditions in this country
requiring careful, thoughtful and states
manlike dealing with. There are many
evils to which labor is subject that need
to be remedied. Likewise there are many
prejudices unjustly entertained against
capital but in neither instance can they
be dealt with to. the good Of all by any
one who brings to them none of the ele.
merits of statesman and all of those
which wholly make up the successful
stump speaker and campaign orator.
Where Remedies Lie.
1 believe that more of the remedy lies
without the, pale of enacted Legislation
than within it, and that neither labor
nor capital is benefited by public utter
ances on the PLATFORM in legislative halls
and through the columns of the press tc
the effect that there is an irrepressible
conflict between them.
l do not believe any man benefits his
country by being a preacher of discon
tent, strife between classes, social and
political pessimism, financial disorder anG
continuous financial gloom, despite sur
roundings and widespread prosperity, and
therefore do not believe in Mr.. Bryan.
There are some things in President Nc

who stood out against them then ought
not on some new issue, which does not in
any degree lessen the danger of these for
harm, fail to denounce and defeat them.
do not think that the fact that here
and there may be some elements more
conservative in the party than seemed to
he the case in 1896, makes any difference.
MIR. Bryan still gives official voice TO the
purty's views, maps out its campaigns
and writes its platforms. Mr.. Bryan's
intimates and advisers are still Populists
and self-seekers, with the added contin
gent of Tammany bosses. He has neither
use nor care for any man who is con-
servative in his views or careful in his
utterances.
Effect on Gold Basis.
If elected President the public must be
prepared to see Mr.. Bryan as chief execu-
tive and those associated with him as
cabinet counsellors cOnstrue every law
bearing upon the currency and the pow
ers OF the Treasury Department in such
manner as to nullify as best they can
its provisions in so far as they bear upon
the question of the maintenance of the
gold standard. His Populist allies boast
that they seek power that they may bring
about the repeal of the existing laws and
to this end they are Mr.. Bryan's cham
pions and defenders.
He can and will keep the country in
state OF ferment and uncertainty in an
attempt to bring about the larger use of
silver as a redemptive money. The ex-
pertinent is too dangerous one to be en-
tered upon by any on the grounds that
the gold standard is so fixed in law that
it cannot be disturbed, no matter who
may be President or Secretary Of the
Treasury. The law ought 10 he executed
with a construction favorable to 1t TO
fully carry out its provisions aud not in
manner antagonistic to them. 1t is
not perfect law, but can be made so by
its friends. 1t can be made abortiye by
its enemies once firmly entrepched in
power.
Bryan and Recent War.
1t will hardly do for any sound money
Democrat or Republican to support Mr..
Bryan because OF a supposed better po-
sition he occupies than Mr.. Mckinley on
the question OF colonial possessions de-
spite his worst position on the question
OF the monetary standard, the Supreme
Court, the enforcement OF law and the
right OF private contract. Mr.. Bryan's
position can hardly be as satisfactory a
one on an analysis growing out OF the
Spanish war.
He and his friends, in order to put the
administration to a political disadvan-
tage, urged on the declaration of war
with Spain, and when 1t was over Mr..
Bryan. personally at Washington,
through personal advice and solicitation,
brought into line a sufficient number of
Democratic Senators 70 ratify the treaty
Of Paris, despite the fact that It provided
for the purchase and taking sovereign
possession OF Porto Rico. and the Philip
pines, without any provision for giving
them any home government whatsoever.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1900-09-07

difference is certainly not great enough
to make any man surrender his convic-
tons on other great questions to accept
him upon one.
1t may also be fairly doubted whether
man with so many erroneous ideas as
to the conduct of the domestic affairs of
the nation can he trusted to have right
ones when it comes to managing our
foreign properties.
As to Porto Rico.
AS to the question growing out of the
Porto Rican tariff, | believe the admin
istration made most egrcgiOus error, but
as Democracy is now constituted and con
trolled it stands for nothing so far as a
tariff policy is concerned. 1t has aban-
| doned all the advantages of its position
on this question, by advocating in its sill
yer policy the very worst kind of protec-
tion. Mr.. Bryan stands responsible for
making il party unable to manfully
advocate Democratic tariff doctrine
1t is to-day under Mr.. Bryan's leader
| ship. a party emphasizing a desire for
special privileges and class legislation, ap-
pealiug for the support of every element
OF discomfort by falling in with and ad-
vocating the particularly special legiSla-
tion which such element stands for Its
demagogy is manifest on every hand.
Raising the BOer Issue.
What thoughtful and inquiring person
can possibly believe that either Mr.. Bry-
an or the delegates at Kansas City are
really deeply solicitous to the extent
which it is made to appear that they are
as to the alleged wrongs OF the Beers in
South Africa? Is it not manifest, through
the thin disguise OF love OF human
freedom, rights and republican form Of
government, that Mr.. Bryan and his fol-
lowers hope for the German and Dutch
vote as determining factor in the cleo
tion because OF racial affiliations with the
Beers and a supposed race prejudice
against Great Britain, and not because
the question or the integrity OF the Boer
republics is so dear to them?
1t is absurd that the great questions
with which we have to do affecting the
vital interests OF the United States shall
he overlooked in a debate upon how Great
Britain shall conduct its own affairs, es-
pecially in the face OF proclaimed rcaf-
hrmation OF the Monroe doctrine. which
hhVahN' pIoptll. interpreted. tnHt the
people OF the United States shall attend
