"and accepted It's assurance that the
silver issue Ia dead and prosperity
established upon foundations that can
not he shaken the Democratic party
has made Imperialism the paramount
issue of the presidential contest this

The way in which the Democratic
party accepted the assurance that the
silver issue Is dead" is clearly shown
IN the following plank In the Kansas
City platform:

national Democratic platform adopted at Chicago
in 1896 and We reiterate the demand Of that

Two Gigantic Suits.

The United States Supreme Court
is about to decide two important
cases One is the famous hat trim
mings" case, which has been in the
various courts more or less for the
past seventeen years and in the settle
ment of which anywhere from 5000
900 to $50, 900 900 is involved The tar
if of 1883 placed q certain rate OF
duty on trimmings of silk intended
for hats. bonnets and hoods for men,
women and children Large importa-
tions of silk material which could be
used on hats We're made and present
ed for entry as hat trimmings. 1t was
held that they Wee intended for other
purposes. and they We're assessed at
higher rate as silk Despite the tire
mendous protests that followed this
decision the government collected mil.
lions of disputed dollars in the way
of tariff duties on such articles. Suit
was brought to recover the difference
between the duty on hat trimmings
and on straightout silk goods. and ii
is estimated that the amount thus ar
fected ranges anywhere from $1,000
900 to $50, 100000 The decision hing
es on the Interpretation of the term

The other case Is that Of the United
States versus Harris and others. The
defendants are receivers for the Phil
adelphia and Reading Railroad. who
are charged with a violation of the
statute requiringsthe stoppage OF cat
tie trains in transit at certain periods
in order that the cattle may be given
rest, water and food. The receivers of
this road neglected to observe this
law In certain case and were pro
Ceeded against In the Eastern District
OF Pennsylvania to recover the penal

Bryan's Notification Speech.
The above is just exactly the doc
trine that the Bourbon Democracy Of
the south believes ia and puts into
practice. BY brute force" 1t has dis
franchised nearly one half OF the yot
ers of some OF the southern states
thus establishing III those states gov
eminent without the consent Of the
governed" and taxation without rep
resentation."
1t Is passing strange that Mr.. Bryan
ID compelled to go to the Philippine
Islands to find wrongs to be denounced
and people to be sympathized with.
Isn't the black man of our southern
states, robbed OF his political rights by
the Democracy, as much entitled to
sympathy as the brown man OF the
Philippines?
Why does not Mr.. Bryan also protest
against the injustice Of allowing a
southern state which Gusts only 100000
votes to have as large representation
In the electoral college and in the con
gress of the United States as north
ern state which polls 100000 votes?

sheep and Beef Rai.ers For McKtn-
ley.

icy.
Bert Anderson, one of the prominent
sheep raisers of Kansas, has been In
the sheep business for 20 years and
says be doesn't know of a single sheep
man In all his acquaintance who Will
vote for Bryan this year He says he
has heard good number of Democrats
declare publicly for Mckinley in the
last few weeks.
The Anderson brothers Of Topeka got
$27 900 In debt handling sheep during
Clevelands administration and were
pretty well hattened out. During the
Mckinley administration the Anderson
boys have sold $65, 900 worth OF sheep
and wool from their tocks, are out OF
debt, have fine farm and good bank
account In Hamilton county, Kan,
dozen former Bryan supporters have
declared for Mckinley.
Prosperity has shared It's blessings
with the beef raiser Of the west and
brought TO him advanced prices for his
beef In 1890. during Democracy and
depression. beef on hoof per 100 pounds
sold for $325; In 1899, under Mckinley
and prosperity, beef on hoof per 100
pounds sold for $4.G3. The wool grow
ers aud sheep raisers have been bene-
fitted to an unparalleled degree by the
return of n protective tariff, During u
Democratic administration and the
Wilson tariff medium wool sold for 10
cents per pound In 1906; during McKin-
ley and protective tariff medium wool
sold Ia 1899 for 81 cents per pound. In
short, the wool producers almost dou-
bled the price of their wool under a
protective tariff.

APATHY'S BAD WORK IN 1892.
Facts to he Pondered by RepnbItc-
ans In All Close States.


ans In All Close States.
Republican politicians are justified In
their approximations about the effect Of
the apathy Of the party OF which
they complain. There Is abundant
warrant for worry on their part, as the
New York Post admits, In the record
of the election OF 1892, after n cam
paign which was apathetic on the Re
publican side. Take, for example, the
contrasts between the votes Of 1888
and 1892 In the states OF New York,
Ohio and Indiana Harrison carried
New York in 1888 by 1873 plurality
and lost 1t by 4J,5lS in 1892; yet the
Democratic vote had Increased by only
1893, the rest of the change being due
to falling off OF 40.9SS on the Re
publican side Harrison carried Ohio
by nearly 10000 plurality In 1888 and
saved 1t by less than 1000 In 1892 Zone
Cleveland elector, indeed, being cho-
sem; but the Democratic vote was not
5000 larger, the revolution which al
most gave the Democrats all the elect
oral votes being caused by falling
off OF over 10000 on the Republican
side In like manner Cleveland had
over 1000 plurality In Indiana In 1892,
with a poll only about 100 larger
than In 1888 when he was beaten by
over 1000. because apathy kept nearly
5000 Harrison mep OF 1888 from re
naming such four years later.
