This shows beyond question that the
American people are far more temper
ate than the English, French or Ger
mans. The French have an unenvi-
able prominence in alcoholic intern
perance. In the matter of wine they
consume eight times as much as the
three other nations combined and over
50 times as much per capita, as do the
people of this country. No wonder
that serious observers are filled with
alarm as to the effect Of 50 much wine
drinking upon the future of France.
These tables show the enormous
capacity for beer possessed by the
British and Germans, but there is far
less danger in this for the quantity OF
alcohol in beer is not one-tWelfth that
in spirits and is far below the per-
centage in wine. Beer is too tame for
the French taste for its per capita con-
sumption is only one-fifth that of wine
in France. These tables are most in
tercsting for comparison, and we hope
the time will never come when the
comparison is less favorable to our
own country than now.

Whenever Mr.. Bryan remains silent

that he has devoted its precious hours
to the preparation of that other great

such an effort is certainly one of the
most humorous things in American
politics. 1t reminds one Of that famous

Mr.. BrYan's Three issues.

Mr.. Bryan announces that while he
ratio of 16 to l in the coming national
campaign, he purposes to make trusts
and imperialism his important issues.
This is certainly a rather meagre
stock in trade with which to solicit the
patronage Of the American people
The voters of this country have most
emphatically repudiated free silver at
a ratio of 1G to l at the polls, and there
is nothing to indicate that they have
since experienced any change of heart
on that question. Moreover, the gold
standard is now permanently estab-
lished by law. Both parties will de-
clare against trusts. In this respect
the Republican party was considerably
ahead of the Democrats, and also has
the credit of having enacted all the
antitrust legislation on our statute
books.
AS regards the third issue which Mr..
Bryan calls imperialism" but which
properly stated, is simply opposition to
the expansion of our national domain,
we feel confident that it will be one
which the Republican party will cor
daily welcome. The idea of pulling
down the American flag and relin-
gushing territory of the United States
over which that flag has once floated,
has never been 4 drawing card with
the American people in the years of
the past, nor do we apprehend that it
will prove one in the year 1900. BY all
| means let Mr.. Bryan go into the fray
| on these issues and when the smoke Of
| the contest has cleared away. he will
be so far immersed in the restful quiet
| Of private life that future political
| echoes will never reach him.
