Official Figures Show United
States Now Second in the
Worlds Foreign Trade.
Calamity Cries of Bryan and His
Followers Are Set at
Naught.
Markets of the World Being Captured
Gold Standard and Protection
Triumphant.

Mr.. Bryan is an advocate of free
trade and free silver, but he and his
followers have always maintained that
protective tariff would deprive us
of the markets of the world" while
the gold standard, if maintained,
would result in our absolute eXpul
sion from them and our commercial
ruin.
What are the facts? We give below
table made from the official figuri
furnished by the treasury uepartmet
of the United States, showing tbe
foreign commerce of the six great
civilized and gold standard nations
of the world for the year 1899. The
figures for 1900, so marvellous is the
increase in our prosperity, it is con-
fidently predicted, will put us at the
head of the list or only eXcelled by
one country. Great Britain. We have
already. it is known, surpassed Great
Britain in the volume of export trade.

In 1899 our commerce exceeded that
of Germany by $57,3472O3, making
us that year the second nation in the
world in foreign commerce, which is
doing pretty well toward capturing
the markets of the world" and puts
the calamity cries of Mr.. Bryan and
his followers in this respect on the
list of discredited rawlings of men
grossly ignorant of the history of our
commerce.
But in the eyes of Mr.. Bryan and
his followers the gold standard chat
the conspiracy against the human
race" was to be the final nail in the
coffin of our business in the markets
of the world. In 1878, when the ter.
rible crime" was committed and
Silver was assassinated," we bought
of foreign countries $780, ,651 more
than we sold them. IL other words
we failed by that amount OF captur-
ing any of the markets of the world.
in 1872 before "silver had been struck
down" we failed by Sill, ,2S3 .646 in cap
turing any of the markets of the
world, for we bought Just that muck
more of foreign countries than we
sold them.
But in 1896 the people of this coun-
try voted to adopt 10th protective
tariff and the gole standard The
result in "capturin~ the markets of
the world" is shows by the following

as well that there was no occasion for
Admiral Kempf to join in the attack on
the forts. There would then have been
six nations against one. In common fair
ness it must be admitted that the odds
were too great; that the destruction of
the forts and the killing of the soldiers
therein was not justified by the fact that
the Boxers, in presumable opposition to
the government, had commenced a fanat-
zeal and murderous crusade against all
foreigners. II in the course of human
events the people of China care to array
themselves against the world: to join the
Boxers in the assertion that the citizens
representatives of other nations can
not live in peace and unframed within
the boundaries of the empire, then the
United States will be found rea iy to do
her share in the enforcement of human
rights.
Aside from the questions OF right and
wrong, the attack on Taku presents some
novelties worthy of historical preserva-
ton. The spectacle of the ships of five
navies Smelling a single fort is a circum-
stance without precedent in the records
of warfare. And what stranger sight
can be conceived of than that of the
victors running up the flags of five ma
tons on the stats of the fallen strong
hold. Then, as spectators to these Won
ders the sailors of the sixth nation, our
own. remained close to the conflict, SO
close that a shell from the forts pierced
one of our ships. We were friendly to the
victors and at peace with the vanquished.
The position served us we'll in the later
acts of courtesy and mercy. This is the
record: The Monocacy harbored the
women and children refugees from the
Taku mission, it's officers rendered sur
gical aid to a wounded Chinese coolie, a
Japanese soldier and a Russian soldier
and besides two English officers who
could not return to their own ship were
taken aboard. Is it not better than %
have participated in an unequal fight?

II COLD DEMOCRATS.

The esteemed Standard this morning
grieves sorely over the passing Of the
gold democratic organization n affects
to believes that it's death was paid for
from the republican campaign fun The
esteemed Standard ais declares that the
party of Palmer and Buckner received
it's inspiration four years ago from the
same republican source. In so declaring
the Standard gives the lie direct to the
only member of the gold democratic
committee who has yet declared his in
tention of supporting Bryan. ". p.
Haldeman, proprietor. Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal and bosom friend Of
Henry Watterson, was a member of the
auditing committee of the the gold party
and he asserted that every dollar raised
by the party came from democratic
sources and that he personally declined
absolutely to listen to a proffer of repub-
lican assistance. Mr.. Haldeman was a
| gold democrat because he refused to
compromise with dishonor or the ques-

tied coinage of gold and silver at The

pathies he fnds that he can supper

REPUBLICAN Ne WSPAPE2.

The universal opinion among republic
cans throughout the state is that there Is
no need of additional republican papers
either in Helena or Butte. The Helena
Herald under it's new management and
with it's increased news service, new
presses and able corps of editors, is fll-
ing every requirement of the situation
from a republican standpoint in a most
complete and efficient and is CIV
ing general satisfaction. To start an OPP
position republican paper at Helena will
be a tax upon the republicans of the CAPT.
tai city which they are not able and
ought not be asked to bear, and the result
will inevitably be to weaken and divide
rather than to strengthen the republican
cause. If there is anybody who has
money to spend ~legitimately in behalf of
the republican party in Helena, let them
devote it to building up and charging
the influence of the Herald. In this way
they will be concentrating, uniting and
h~armonizing the republican party instead
of splitting it into factions. It is impos-
sible, of course, for any newspaper to
please all factions and all interests even
within it's own ranks. but if it gives loyal
and active support to its party politics

such satisfactory results. This is a time

The democrats howled because the
president did not rush into the Spanish
war two years ago. They howled be-
cause he did not start another war over
the South African situation. They are
