They claim thai !hc IIamiltonian ten

Hamilton favored; that the American
pcupic are in favor of grabbing territory
wherever Il shadow of an excise 10 WIT
rant such seizure stands out. Some
have even gene 50 far as 10 assert iiiat
the American people favor trusts.
None of these infcrpnccS are war-
r,nt,d The results of the election show
rather that these who lead the thought
! of the American people are opposed to
all these Policies.
IL may bc said without any slight oi
the population Of the country districts
of the nation that the cities lead III pub
Ii. movements, not because - @icatcr
mental power. but because of greater
proximity io the sources OF informal
tion. In the cities, with rcmarkabie
uniformity. the Republicans sustained
great losses. In Boston and New YORK
Republican majorities were converter
into Democratic majoritics and III al
the hi. cities a similar falling off i'll the
Republican vete was apparent.
The just Inference is that th"sh whr
voted On the Immediate issues in the
last campaign voted against Mckinley.
MoreoVcr the Republican party organs

judges well. The truth of the matter is.
in all likelihood, that, with the firmeSt
of resolutions To thus weaken the South,
the Republican majority in Congress
have found a most perpicNinS problem
confronting them. The question is. Of
course, how 10 injure the Southern
States without creating a menace of
similar injury Ia Republican States.
Sectional discrimination of So fragrant
4 nature is not easy under the ConSiitu-
ton.
For this reason it may be that the Re
publicanS will defer action OH such Il

\ NATURAL ADVANTAGE.

When the Business Mems League at
its last quarterly meeting discussed the
subject of a deep-water channel in the
Mississippi River it touched Il matter
of vast import to the city.
The Mississippi River is one of the
greatest of the natural advantages
which equip ST. Louis to hold its place
as one of the leading cities of the world
That river WIS the first cause of the
prosperity of st. Louis. 1t should have
continued TO be TO st. Louis Il source of
wealth and growth as the lakes have
heen for Chicago and the sea to New
York.
Instead. however, st. Louis has al
lowed its interest in river trade and
transportation TO die out until that orig
inal source of all the city's wealth now
holds a very inferior, Subsidiary place in
its economy.
