WASHINGTON LETTER

Notwithstanding the Juggling by the
republican leaders with the vice-presi-
DENTAL nomination, which everybody
saw through, the Hanna-made ticket,
which was nominated at Philadelphia
and the Washington made platform
adopted, have evoked not the slightest
enthusiasm in Washington, although
the numerical strength of the bread and
butter brigade at the national capitol,
and Roosevelt's considerable personal
following, led many to suppose that
there would be at least bluff made at
some sort of an enthusiastic demon.
stration. About the only hurrahs
heard in Washington have come from
delegates to the convention who
stopped on their way home, and those
hurrahs were not the result of enthusi.
asm but of whiskey or other intoxi-
cants. But that, of course, does not
worry Boss Hanna. 1t is Doodle, not
enthusiasm, that he relies upon to
duplicate his '96 business.
The political situation today is re-
markably similar to that IN 1872, when
Grant was renominated for the second
time. In the last year of his first ad-
ministration, succession of scandals
burst upon the country, just as the
Cuban scandals have done now No
body will have forgotten the great
Credit Mobilier fraud, and the subse.
quent "Whiskey Ring" disclosures,
which were directly traceable to Cen
eral Grants palpable inexperience in
civil administration just as those of
today are traceable to McKinley's
weakness and yielding to personal
favorites. After Grant had been NOM
mated, large segment of the republic
can party boiled outright, as the Ger
man and anti-imperialistic republicans
are boiling today. True, the bolt did
not avail to defeat Grant because the
democrats had the south counted
against them by the carpet bag gov.
ernments, and because they did not be-
lieve in their candidate. Many thous-
snds of democrats in doubtful states
sullenly declined to support Greeley,
and other thousands voted directly for
the republican candidate and elected
him. Here lies the difference this year.
The democrats do believe in their can
didate; they are united; they are aided
by large section of men who once be-
longed to the republican party and who
either bolted four years ago on account
of silver, or will bolt on account of i'm
perialism, and the south is solidly for
them instead of being solidIy against
them as it was in 1872. In other words
the causes which should have defeated
Grant exist today, while those that
saved him do not exist, making Brysn's
election almost certain.

mittee has given out statement show

ducts; The list is too long to print,
but the following articles, all of which
are made by trusts, will give some idea
of the burden laid upon the consumer
by these institutions, which have been
so fostered by four years of republican
tariff and republican refusal to prose-
cute even in cases of the plainest viola
ton of the statute law. All the in
creases below are from January Z, 1899
to December 80, 1899: Linseed oil, from
Al to so cents; petroleum, $3.50 to So. 90;
sugar, S4.4 to So. 49,. ipecac, $3.50 to

quinine, 81 cents to 3O.cents; sal soda,

The only prices to fall were those of
farm products. The year book of the
department of agriculture for 1899, re-
Gently issued, shows that the farm pro.
ducts and farm animals in 1889, al
though vastly increased in quantity
since 1890, had fallen off in value to the
extent of $7O6,969,97l. This only
counts as farm products corn, wheat,
oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, potatoes,
hay and cotton. If the farm products
of 1899 had brought the same prices as
did the same products in 1890, thoy
would have brought more than they did
by the sum of $4,000, 1854. The
farmers raised 1 ,O3l 900 900 more bush
els of produce In 1899 than they did in
1880, and yet this produce was worth
$2O5, 100000 less than was the smaller
crop of 1880. This only calculates the
cereals.
