For National Progress
Stands Republican Party
Especial Correspondence

The mission or the party of prosper
ity will not be over until there are no
more markets to conquer. II Is charg-
ed that this is not noble mission, that
1t is rank commercialism. But 1t IL
more than that. 1t Is rank Industrial
ism. 1t is providing work for fac
tories, labor for laborers. transports
ton for goods. 1t makes the pay roll
fatter. II is the policy that cancels
mortgages, builds homes for working
men, creates demand for the grain of
the field, the meat of the pasture. and
the iron and coal of the mine. It Is
rational and national prosperity found
ed on wisdom; not promised prosper
ity created by cutting dollar in two
and calling each half whole.
A radical departure from this policy
Is advocated by the Democrats in their
avowed purpose to destroy protection
and oppose expansion. The triumph
of their policy. II put upon the sta
tute books, would result in American
furnaces becoming cold and American
shuttles being silent. English looiis
would weave for us and German mills
would do our forging. American la
Dor would find its occupation gone.
There is difference between the
two political parties. The Republicans
do want to govern the markets of the
world, and to reign over the distribu-
ton Of the worlds bread and meat, Sc
uring In this way work at home for
every honest laborer, markets for the
products of our rams, and becoming
such a factor In the world that will
compel peace and justice among the
nations Of the earth. II is the policy
which will hasten that blessed time
promised by the prophet of old when
the sword shall be beaten into plow-
shares and the spear into pruning
hooks. 1t is the Republican policy.
Surgeon Joseph NJ. Heller. who has
seen brave service In the Philippines
and has just gotten home has given an
interesting description of a Filipino
fete In which toast was drunk to
Bryan and Aguinaldo." Mr.. Bryan
ought to send word to the Filipino rebel
chiefs, through Senator Pettigrew who
seems useful go-between. that Mr.
Stevenson Is the candidate of the DEM
ocratic party for Vice President and
not Aguinaldo.
The school teachers of Cuba had
glorious trip to this country in the
government transport. After going
back to Cuba they will be able to work
with broadened ideas and freshenel
zeal for the welfare of the growing
generation OF Cuba. This incident Is
part and parcel of Republican I'm
perialism." 1t is surprising that, as
such, II is meeting with no denuncia-
ton from the oracles of the Democratic
party.
In one year GS9i) of Democratic
vote, the wage earners of the United
States depleted their savings deposits
by more than 37,0OO,OOO. Since Nc
Kinley has been President they have
earned enough to save and invest o
surplus in savings banks deposits alone
of more than siS2, zoo, 900.
The Full Dinner Pail" is an argu-
ment for the farmer as well as for tic
city laborer. Who supplies what Is
put In the pail? The farmer. II the
city laborer has his wages cut In two
by free silver, and is put out of a Job
by the closing of the mills. the farmer
suffers equally: for the farmer may
give away, but he cannot sell, the
products Of his farm which the city
laborer cannot afford to buy. 1t Is be-
cause of the full dinner pail" that he
has paid of his mortgages, and become
lender of money where he used to DC
a borrower.
What Is Mr., Bryan's plan for the dis.
position of the Philippines? The only
inference from his speeches is that re
would loose fair promises and honeyed
words, and on the strength of these
would withdraw the American troops,
from the Philippines. What could pre-
vent, after withdrawal of the American
troops the same horrors In Manila that
have visited Picking? What would
become of the natives who have helped
to suppress the Tagal instruction af-
ter they were thus left to the devices of
the Aguinaldo, whose cruelty did lot
stop at the murder OF his own gem
erals?
