Expect to Increase Their Plurality for
Mckinley by 10000.
Minnesota Republicans are remarka-
bly, unanimous upon the issues Of the
Presidential campaign and confident of
the reelection of President Mckinley.
There was not in any quarter, breath
of opposition to his omination. He
is regarded as the logical leader Of the
party upon the issues which so signally
triumphed in his first election, and
upon the new issues which have arisen
during his administration. The triumph
of sound money, the restoration of the
protective principle in our tariff laws,
followed by the restoration of prospect
ty, and the broad craftsmanship with
which the President has dealt with the
perpleXing questions and conditions
growing out Of the Spanish war, have
convinced our people that a change
would not be desirable at this time
and that the best thing for the country
will be another four years of the same
kind Of policy, with the same firm and
able hand at the helm of state
| speak confidently of the conditions
in Minnesota, and my observation as
sures me that substantially the same
conditions prevail in all the States that
went Republican in 1896 Minnesota
will repeat her magnificent Republican
victory Of that year, and emphasize it.
We lost our Governor in 1898 through
local dissensions, but we elected all the
rest Of the ticket and carried the Legis-
lature. There will be no dissensions
in this State this year in regard to any
candidate, and on the national ticket
we expect to see McKinley's plurality
of 53,875 four years ago increased to at
least 10000. The Republicans will
make a clean sweep in Minnesota.

M'kINLEYS AMERiCANISM.
Eng1ishmen Do Not Enthuse Over His
Renomiuat ton.

EngIishmen Do Not Enthuse Over His
denomination.
A copyrighted London cablegram to
the New York Tribune says if there be
any doubt in the United States respect
ing English opinion of Mckinley and
Republican politics, it may be dispelled
by the reticence of the London and pro-
vincial press respecting the work of
the Philadelphia convention. There are
few comments on it, and such as there
are have a perfunctory sound. These
are not eulogies of Mckinley, and the
Republican party is not embarrassed
by English patronage or fiattery. The
party platform is described as moder-
ate and the nominations as good as the
circumstances permitted. The nearest
approach to compliment is the Specta-
tors remark that Mckinley is possibly
too much of politician, but that he
has won and receives international re-
spect.
The English press is preocupied with
affairs in South Africa and China, and
has no space in reserve for trivial in
cident in Anglo-SaXon history, such as
the election of a President by nation
Of eighty millions. Moreover, there are
no illusions here respecting either Pres
ident Mckinley or the Republican par
ty. Both are known to be downright
American, and not in any sense Eng
lish. President Mckinley is not sus-
pected Of having ever made an apology
for introducing the tariff bill which
bore his name, and the party which re-
nominated him, SO far from repudiat
ing protectionism. has rea affirmed it and
added to it subsidies for American ship
ping.
Nobody in England ever speaks of
Mckinley as anything but an uncom-
promising champion of American ideas
and policies. Hence his denomination
is received here without enthusiasm
and with quiet reserve, as possibly not
the best choice, but one which divides
the Republican party least.

Comparison of Gain in Wealth Last

Missouri has gained S12S, 100000 in

ed almost $1O0,0OO,OO0 in wealth under

substantial facts, showing. that greater

Kansas during the last three years,

Zens during the campaign.
The Democratic party is notoriously
an anti-prosperity party, and the farm

Missouri must not allow themselves to
be led away by the false promises and
calamity bowling Of their Democratic
friends. Our statements are from Off

Corn, oats, hay and potatoes show
the largest gains in both States. While
wool is not SO much grown here as in
the far Western States, still the in
crease under protection in the value of
the clip has been satisfactory to those
farmers who raise sheep. In Missouri
this years cotton crop was worth al
most twice as much as it was in 1895
under the Democratic administration
Lastly, an examination Of the num-
Der Of bank depositors in Kansas and
Missouri is full Of facts upon which
our citizens can congratulate them
selves. The figures are taken from the
last annual report OF the Comptroller
of the Currency:
In the State of Kansas there were
3d. 51 people who had bank accounts
in 1894; last year there were 10O,S4O
bank accounts in that State. In 1894
the total deposits in Kansas amounted
to SIT, 147, 16O; last year the total
amount of the deposits was $33, sos, 1O1.
There has been an increase of practic-
ally 100 per cent, both in the number
of people who had money to deposit in
the banks, and in the total amount of
money on deposit in Kansas.
In the State Of Missouri there were
lii 1861 persons who had bank accounts
in 1894; last year there were 213,009
bank accounts. In 1894 the total
amount of deposits in Missouri was
500, 921 1853. In 1899 the deposits in all
the banks of Missouri had increased to
$141, 72G, 449. While the number of de-
positors in Missouri had increased by
80 per cent, the total amount of money
deposited had increased by 16O per
cent.
These facts and figures do not show
the increase in the business done at the
stores, mines and factories, nor the
larger amount Of wages paid to the
thousands of people who earn their
livelihood in these two States.
While the Democratic orators are en-
larging upon the benefits that will hap
pen to the country If a Democratic
President and Democratic Congress be
elected this year, our citizens should
not neglect the blessings and prospect
ty which they have derived under the
Republican administration that is now
In power. 1t is unwise to throw away
the substance for the rhadow.
