When Business Is Disturbed.

1t has come to be common to talk
about the disturbance to business which
is caused by the prospect of Presiden-
tial election. Is there single bust
ness interest in the country which
would suffer in the slightest degree, is
there single business man who would
have one moment of anxiety about his
business and its continued prosperity,
if it were settled beyond the peradven-
ture of doubt that William Mckinley
Is to be President of the United States
for the next four years, and that our
present national policy is to be con-
tinued? We venture to say that not
one such could be found, unless he
should be pawnbroker or dealer in
some other trade which prospers out of
Universities and the poverty of the
many. 1t is a curious fact and on
worthy of some thought that business
never suffers at the prospect of Pres
idental election in free trade times.
Then, as all our past experiences hows,
things can not be any worse than they
are, and the very possibility of change
from that un-American policy gives a
little tone to business. The only time
when business is unfavorably affected
by the prospect of Preside tial cleo
ton and possible change of policy lie
when we are enjoying the prosperity
which always results from protective
tariff policy. Fortunately, this year,
there is such an infnitesimally small
possibility of any change that business
conditions continue steady and CON-
paritively unaffected. Would it not be

The Roosevelt Speech.

The way in which the Democrats
have lodged the blow delivered by
Governor Roosevelt in his speech at
st. Paul shows how heavily it went
home. Here are Roosevelt's blunt
and rasping words:
"Study the Kansas City platform and you
cannot help realizing that their policy Is
the policy of infamy, that their triumph
would mean misery 30 widespread that it is
almost unthinkable, and a disgrace so last
ing that more than generation would
have to pass before it could be wiped out.
They stand for lawlessness and disorder,
for dishonesty and dishonor, for license and
disaster at home and cowardly shrinking
from duty abroad"
The answer to this startling arraign-
ment of the party Of the Kansas City
platform is the printing of few pic
lures of conspicuous Democratic pa
triots such as Gen. Joe Wheeler. This,
of course, is not an answer.
"Under the Kansas City platform, )"
said Governor Roosevelt, "the Demo-
Gratis stand for lawlessness and disor-
DER" meaning the plank denouncing
government by Injunction; "for dishon-
esty," meaning the fraud Of free silver,
land dishonor," meaning surrender to
the Aguinaldo rebels.
Such terms cannot be pleasant. We
don't wonder that the Kansas City
platform people don't like them. But
they are simply the bare truth.-New
York Sun.

Four years ago Mr.. Bryan was vigor.
ously engaged in finding fault with low
prices and in exploiting plan for max.
ing prices higher by means of cheap.
er dollar. Now the supporters of Mr..
Bryan are fading fault because the
prices are high without the cheap dol
lar. They are very anxious TO persuade
the wage Garner that he now has TO pay
more for what he eats than he paid
four years ago, and that he is the loser
and not the gamer through the vast i'm
provement in business and industrial
condition that has taken place since the
count of the votes showed that the
cheap dollar and cheap labor candidate
was not to be President of the United
States from March 4, 1897, to March 4,
1901.
These Bryanite misleaders of thought
pay poor compliment to the intelli-
gence of American workingmen when
they appeal to them along this line of
argument. They assume that the
wage Garner is destitute of brains aud
common sense; that he can be made to
forget all the benefits that have come
to him through the election of a Re-
publican and Protectionist as Presi-
dent of the United States; benefits Of
greatly increased pay and greatly in
creased employment; benefits which
far outweigh the relatively small in
crease of the cost of living that has
come as the direct consequence of in
creased pay and increased employment,
for with these increases have inevitably
come larger demand and larger con-
sumption.
To assume that the wage Garner has
no perception Of cause and effect, and
to attempt to swing him over TO Bryan
ism with its attendant decrease of the
purchasing power of wages and the
decrease of the opportunity to earn
wages is to pre-suppose that the working
people of the United States are chill
dren and fools. They are not. They
know perfec ly we'll what the triumph
OF free trade Democracy in 1892 cost
them, and they know what they es-
capped through the defeat of free trade
and cheap dollar Democracy in 1896.
They know what has made their dinner
pals bigger, and their contents of bet
ter quality, and they are not worrying
because of triaing increase Of cost so
long as the wherewith to buy has in
creased in vastly greater proportion.

Dinner Pail Argument.

The improvement in the dinner pail
that has been brought about in the past
four years is the subject Of much con-
Germ among the supporters of the Popo-
crat propaganda. They find this SUBJ
ject difficult to discuss nationally. Two
facts bother them-nsmely, that the
dinner pail has grown in size, and that
its contents have increased both in
quantity and quality. Unable to dis
pute these facts, they are driven to the
necessity Of inventing some very fool
ish reasons for dissatisfaction on the
part of the man who carries the dinner
pail. They assert that he has to pay
more for the pail and its contents than
he used to pay prior to March A, 1897,
and that he is mistaken in supposing
that he is any better off now than then

The Democratic Platform.

That lively periodical, Life, publishes
an altogether original and unique Dem
ocratic platform with splinters) as
follows:
We, the representatives of the Dem
ocratic party once removed, being suf-
ficiently imbued with our own ineom-
petence, and this being the silly season
do affirm the following principles:
We hold that the Declaration of In
dependence is the spirit of our Gov
eminent, and we call attention to the
fact that imperialism is not only rap
idly undermining this spirit, but is
even now beginning to play havoc with
everything we hold dear.
William Mckinley represents every
thing in politics and government that
the American people do not want, and
it is not too much to say that his con-
tinuance in power is menace which
every thoughtful American citizen can
not but view with alarm. The Porto
Rico injustice, the Cuban scandal, the
interminable Philippine war, the steady
growth of trusts, the bald-faced effron.
terry of some of the worst elements, are
all signs of coming disaster. This be-
ing the case, and with the full and COM
plete knowledge that we are in posi-
ton to save the country from the fate
that threatens it, we hereby delare for
the free coinage of silver, not that we
believe in it ourselves, but simply be-
cause we are all earnest and inspired
idiots enough to know that this clause
inserted in the platform will kill every
possible chance there may be to cir
cumvent Hanna and the rest.
Aud now, having done all we can to
insure the election of the party in
power, and made it impossible for any
thinking man to vote for our candidate,
we submit our cause to the American
people, in the sure belief that we have
done the one thing to defeat it, and
missed the chance of our lives.

IN SOUTH AFRICA.

PRETORIA, Aug. 10.-A plot las
been discovered to make Lord Roberts
prisoner and shoot the British officers
and the conspiracy was only discovered
at the last moment. The conspirators
numbered about fifteen. They had
planned to set fire to the house in the
extreme western part of the city, hop
ing that the troops would be concen~
trated there. The plan was that the
conspirators were forclbly to enter all
houses occupied by British officers,
these having been previously marked.
and to kill the occupants.
ALI the Boer sympathizers were ac-
quainted with the plot and several had
been told to secure the person of Lord
Roberts and hurry him to the nearest
commando. Horses had been obtained
for this purpose. Then the British
learned the names of the ringleaders.
who were put under arrest. The affair
has created tremendous sensation.
PRETORIA, Aug. 1O.-Lord Roberts
sent today the following message to the
war Office at London: Kitchener was
informed yesterday by an escaped
British prisoner that Dewet's wagons
had crossed the Vaal. Afterwards I
heard the sound of guns which 1 think
must have been Methuen's, as direct
ed him to take up position between
Potchefstom'and Lindique, where he
could intercept the enemy, who crossed
the river at Dewet's Drift. Kitchener
is crossing the Vaal with the cavalry
and mounted infantry. Gen. Hunter
reports that he made 4 lao prisoners in
the Bethlehem Harrismith district, a
majority of whom are now en- route to
Cape Town. Three guns and four
thousand horses were captured and ten
wagon loads of ammunition and 1885,
600 rounds of ammunition destroyed.

What Not to Say.

Do not say, 81 can't eat" Take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and say, 81 am hun
cry all the time, and food never hurts
me-"
Never say to your friends that you
are as tired in the morning as at night.
If they happen to be sharp they will
tell you Hoods Sarsaparilla cures that
tired feeling.
Do not say, "My face is full of pim-
pies" You are quite likely to be told
by some one, "There's no need of that,
for Hoods Sarsaparilla cures pimples. %
1t is improper and unnecessary to
say, "My health is poor and my blood
is bad" Hoods Sarsaparilla will give
you good blood, and good health will
follow az natural consequence.

Campaign Prospects.

Representative Cannon of Illinois. a
veteran politician, expresses apprehen-
sion of Republican disadvantage in the
coming presidential election because of
Republican apathy. He says if the
voting was to be had tomorrow 10 per
cent of the Republicans wonld not come
out. Well, it is not very clear that
even with this loss, the Republicans
would fail to carry the election. They
might lose the State OF Indiana under
it, but is there any other importan
State that they have been in the habit
of carrying which would be taken from
them? The error in this calculation Of
the effect of Republican apathy is that
it assumes the apathy to be all on one
side. IL the Republicans are apathetic
this condition comes from nothing Pc
culiar on their part; it arises from the
general condition of the campaign. A
close inquiry into the condition of the
Democrats, we think, would reveal a
corresponding apathy there. 1t GER
tainly exists in this quarter of the coun-
try.
To assume that there is indifference
among the Republicans and none in
the ranks of their opponents is to con-
cede great deal too much. The Re-
publican organization is better than
that of the Democrats throughout the
north. The four years of weary pre-
| ponderance of the former, alike in the
states and in the nation, has given them
great advantage, and they are in pos
session of the means to bring the vot-
| ers out to an extent that affords them q
marked superiority. 1t is because they
see so little activity and enthusiasm
among the Democrats that they are,
thus far, impressed with not much &C.
casion for extra effort. Let it be APP
parent that the Democrats are aroused
and hopeful, and we have little doubt
that the Republicans will meet them
promptly, with amply corresponding
activity. We see no reason to believe
! that the Democrats are stimulated by
