THE COMMERCIAL TREND

Henry Clews' financial report for the
current week contains the following en-
c%ouraging words relative to the impetus
given commercial affairs by the recent
trend of events:
The present wonderful showing made
by American railway and industrial COR
porations only foreshadows the immense
activity to come. The entire world is en-
tering upon an era Of commercial pro-
glession and prosperity that will far sur
pass all present records. National con-
quests will be made henceforth by the
weapons of rather than by
! those of war. The great increase in the
gold product of the world is the moving
| power, and the faster it is brought up
from the bowels of the earth the greater
will be the impetus of business ventures
and developments. The future will be
brilliant in inventions and discoveries
and in the Advancement of gigantic bust
ness enterprises without limit as to
sphere. We are to witness a race of
mankind for supremacy in the worlds
markets. h 'open door, will be the
policy of all the great powers. The COM
pletion of the Trans-Siberian Railway
points to the development of the hereto
fore almost unknown esource of Russia.

GUS? There is not a corner of the globe
where they will not be felt. Such are the
conditions prevailing in this closing veal
of a wonderful century. The prospect
for the coming one is indeed dazzling.
In the gigantic sweep of events, which
is making glad the waste places of the
earth, and bringing to light the hidden re-
sources of the world, America should take
it's place. The acquisition of Hawaii and
the Philippines gives to our republic a
supremacy on the high seas never before
dreamed of. and places our nation in the
forefront of the commercial powers of the
age. Despite democratic so-called con.

In an editorial this morning. entitled
reviews it's stock Of old ones hut displays
a few new ones in connection with its
post-election sores. 1t objects to the in
ference that money. was, used by demo-
Gratis in the city campaign, overlooking
the fact that the inference was a perfect
~ natural one, under the circumstances.
Has not the Standard for months past
accused the Clark wing of the habitual
use of money to further its political
ends? Has not the Miner pointed out
similar traits of character on the part of
the Daily wing? This being true. why
should the public look for any deviation
from their ordinary political methods
merely because the two wings co-operat-
ed in the city election?
If the Standard and the Miner have
been truthful in the past, there was no
reason why the public should expect n
conspicuous spasm of political virtue
when the wings got together. 1t was not
at all unlikely that the most prominent
traits of each wing would come to the
front, under such circumstances, in a
friendly effort to see which could do the
most good to the interests in hand!
When those elements which the Clark
! people have heretofore been accused of
purchasing, by the Standard: and those
whom the DAILY people have handled, as
shown by the Miner, all come together
the suspicious of the public are quite
naturally aroused.
1t will certainly take more than one
campaign to convince the people of this
state that the -amalganlation between the
Clark men and the Daily men in the city
of Butte has resulted in the publication
OF each wing. and that the driven snow
has a dark leaden hue in comparison
with their aims and purposes. If the
Standard and the Miner have been telling
the truth in the past it will take some
time, in the natural order Of things. for
the evil tendencies of each wing to work
off and permit the internal mechanism of
the democracy to get out OF established
ruts. If, on the other hand, our morn
ing contemporaries have not been telling
the truth relative to the respective wings
OF the democratic party, then the ques-
ton naturally arises as to how far their
statements at the present time can be
credited when they declare that honesty
prevails.
r. will he seen. therefore, that in the
i Inference that money was used by the
] democrats in furthering their interests
Il in the city campaign, the Inter Mountain
merely reflected a weil-grounded public
suspicion, based upon the previous prac-
| tees of the democracy, as graphically
outlined by the Standard and he Miner
during the past few months.

NO REASON FOR EXiS 7ENCE.

A party without a purpose is a useless
proposition in the practice Of political
economy. In their original organization
the silver republicans protested loyalty
to the doctrines of the party from which
they came on all points except the ques-
ton of the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver and gold at a ratio of 16 to 1, by the
independent action of this nation. That
issue, and that alone, impelled them to
a separation. z
the free coinage question is not in issue.
having been retired by the democratic
leaders in an effort to reunite their party
on other lines. The heavy production of
gold. and the general prosperity enjoyed
by the country, nave also done their share
in making other issue more attractive
to the public. The democrats have taken
advantage of the situation to relegate
free coinage to the rear, n bring anti
Imperialism, and questions of hat type.
to the front as the basis for the forth
coming national campaign.
Silver republicans, with few exceptions,
have gone back to the parent party and
will labor zealously for its success on the
issues before the people. It Is worthy OF
note tina those silver republicans who
have not followed this course-be they
great or small-have repudiated all the
political tendencies of their former re-
publican associates. and have endorsed
all the party principles advocated by thu
democracy. This being the a 81 there II

known TO be thoroughly corrupt. and a
constant menace to all the best interests
OF good government.
Unity with PopuIists.
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 adj
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 he 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.
Reafirming of 10 to l.
1 am told that not a 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 doc
trines announced only in a more offensive
way.
1t must not he forgotten that the re-
affirming of the principles of the Chicago
platform was the repledgng Of an inten-
ton, when opportunity is afforded, to de-
base the country's currency. 1t was re-
assaulting the Supreme Court of the
country. 1t means a 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-
vate 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 rcafiirmation at Kansas
City was the re-asserting of the utter
ances made at Chicago, which, revolu-
tionary then, are none the less so now.
n source of menace to the country then,
they are equally so now; and every man

and protesting against any debasement or
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 n statesman and not
a mere declaimer and dealt in n states
manlike manner with American problems,
we would not be treated TO the floods 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.
| 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 a statesman and all of those
which wholly make up the successful
stump speaker and campaign orator.
Where Remedies Lie.
! 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 to
the effect that there is an irrepressible
conflict between them.
| do not believe any man benefits his
country by being a preacher of discon-
tent, strife between classes, social and
political pessimism. financial disorder and
continuous financial gloom, despite sur
roundings and widespread prosperity. and
therefore / do not believe in Mr.. Bryan.
There are some things in President Nc
Kinley's administration and official acts
| am not i'm accord with. do not accept
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1900-08-31

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
be the case in 1896, makes any difference.
Mr. Bryan still gives official voice to the
party's views, maps out its campaigns
and writes it's 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-
sentative 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 counselors construe every law
bearing upon the currency and the pow
ers of the Treasury Department in such
a manner as to nullfy as best they can
it's 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 a
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 a one to be en-
tered upon by any on the grounds that
the gold standard is so fixed in law that
il cannot be disturbed, no matter who
may be President or Secretary of the
Treasury. The law ought to be executed
with a construction favorable to it to
fully carry out its provisions and not in
a manner antagonstic to them. 1t is
not perfect law, but can be made so by
its friends. 1t can be made abortive by
it's enemies once firmly entrenched in
power.
Bryan and Recent War.
Il will hardly do for any sound money
Democrat or Republican to support Mr..
Bryan because of 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-
tnge, urged on the declaration OF war
with Spain, and when it was over Mr..
Bryan, personally at Washington,
through personal advice and solicitation.
brought into line a sufficient number OF
Democratic Senators to ratify the treaty
of Paris despite the fact that II 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.

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
n man with so many erroneous ideas as
to the conduct of the domestic affairs Of
the nation can be 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
stration made most egregious 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-
ton. Mr.. Bryan stands responsible for
making it n party unable TO manfully
advocate a Democratic tariff doctrine.
1t is to-day under Mr.. Bryan's leader
ship, party emphasizing a desire for
special privileges and class legislation APP
pealing for the support of every element
of discomfort by falling in with and adj
vocating the particularly special legisla-
ton 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 n 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 a determining factor in the cleo
ton 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
be overlooked in debate upon how Great
Britain shall conduct its own affairs, es-
pecially in the face of proclaimed reaf-
frmation OF the Monroe doctrine, which
means, properly interpreted, that the
people of the United States shall attend
TO their own affairs and let European ma
tions look after theirs.

think such politics cheap, and unstates-
manlike, quite beneath the dignity Of any
great party or leader.

er, heretofore the bulwark OF the coun-
try, against every assault upon the in
