LEAD AND WOOL.

Tho price Of wool is lower now thap
Mt any time since the beginning Of the
war with Spain, and 10 still declining.
Strange. tint 1t. that Mr.. McKinley's
tariff works both ways with equal
ease. 1t is one OF tho ironies OF fate
thnt 1t is working in the wrong di-
rection just at this particular time
when McKinlry's interests demand
that high price shall he maintain
ed.
Then. again, there are those who
arc unkind enough to refer TO lead rs
another ILLUSTRATION Of the impotency
OF Mr.. McKinlcy's tariff when it runs
up against the plans of the great
American trust. The tariH remained
the same all the time that the price
of lead wis vaccilat'ug from a 10 to
S3 10 and now the price OF the metal
has settled down to { flat for the re-.
mnindcr of the year. totally obvious
OF the tariff. and also OF the law OF
supply and demand, winch few
years ago WIS supposed To regulate
the price Of all commodities.
Ii does seem that when mans
fortunes begin to rccede fate takes
particular delight III joining with hu-
mauity in kicking him to the bottom
OF the incline, nnd then gloating over
him in hs misery.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

President Mckinley wants the
United States to keep on fighting the
tilipinOs for the sake OF the brown
man. IL is our holy duty to those
misguided people. he thinks. to kill
them oil until those who are left
agree to accept civilization and hap
pincss.
MIR. Bryan on the other hand, pre-
ters to regard the welfare Of tic
American people rather than that OF
the Filipiuos. "You tell me-" he says
@that man who lifts his voice
against the doctrine Of imperialism is
blending the cause Of the Filipino. /
tel you he is pleading the cause OF
7O,0OO,OOO American citizens. Ave he
is championing the rights OF the
struggling masses OF the world, who
who look to 4 mcrica for example"
In theory, perhaps. the Mckinley
idea may be the more lofty, il we
could believe in its sincerity; but Mr..
Bryan's idea is surely the more pa
triotic as well as the morc.practica-
BILE,
III every Filipino says Mr.. Bryan.
-were to die the world would go on.
but II this nation, the greatest Re.
public in the worlds history, we're to
put ont it's light, were tn turn its
back on the doctrines that we loved a
century and quarter ago, then to
what nation i'll the world can people
look for hope and inspiration.
Tho paramount issue in this cam.
paign liz the preservation of our own
republic, which is worth more than
all Asia to the cause Of mankind. -
