connected one with the other in the
least. Because there was recount
and 600 names were found is no evi-
dence that padding was done 1t is
not likely that the census will show a
growth of to exceed 2, 900 at the most,
over the census of 1890, and any one
at all acquainted with the city will adj
NIT that we have grown at least that
much.
The state census of 1895 showed the
county to have a population of 80, 295,
of which 10, 173 were Mankato. Yet
when the board was asked to equalize
the representation, the country refused
to do so. Mankato does not want any
thing that does not justly belong to
her. The Enterprise knows that the
city is not being treated right, but to
justify the continuation of the pre-
sent injustice, it raises the cry that
our census returns are padded. And
the only reason it can give is that 900
names were found to have been omit
ted, by Uncle Sam, when he made the
recount. The Enterprise will have to
set it's thinker to work and hatch UP
something more sensible and within
the range of reason.

A STATESMANLIKE COURSE.

Europe doesn't like the position this
&C ountry has taken on the Chinese ques-
ton, and in short time the Bryanites
can be expected to be criticising along
the same line. But Europe doesn' t
like McKinley's policy because, if sue
-cessful, it would block what is really
the desire of the powers. They are
looking toward China with an envious
eye. They see rich territory with
great possibilities for the future,
and to them the one idea is to obtain
possession of it. But if the policy of
the United States government prevail
ed there would be no chance for this,
for a strong government would be
placed at the helm there and the empire
would be kept intact. This of course
would mean greater friendship toward
this country on the part of the
Chinese authorities 1t would be a
blessing to humanity if the policy of
the Mckinley administration could
win. War would then be averted and
the best interests of all would be
properly cared for, but with the many
conflicting interests, and the desire for
vengeance by some, it is very question
able as to whether it will When the
nations of the world reach the point
where they can survey the great ques-
tions in the Orient above all jealousy,
they will recognize the fact that the
only real craftsmanship in the matter
has been put forth by the United
States, and that it's course has been the
only consistent one

A POOR EXCUSE.

The Mapleton Enterprise says that
Zone of the secrets why Mankato' S
population was not satisfactory has al
ready made itself manifest in the cry
for redistricting of the county for
commissioner districts. The Enter
prise then goes on to say that the
country is not opposed to the city hav-
ing all it is entitled to but it certain
ly is opposed to redivision of the
county on the basis of the present CEN
sus of Mankato ..as it is more than
evident that it has been literally pad
ded when 900 names can be found and
added to the list
Of course there has got to be some
sort of an excuse for denying the city
justice on the county board represen-
tation, and the census recount seems
to afford the Enterprise with the thin
one it so desires But the recount and the
move by the board of trade are not

WHY NOT TELL THE TRUTHg

With not to exceed half a-dozen
exceptions all the gold Democratic pa
pers which bolted Bryan in 1896 are
now enthusiastic supporters of the
Kansas City ticket. -Fairmont Sen
tinel
What is the use of telling such stuff
when you know it is not so. There are
probably not half prominent
gold Democratic papers that opposed
Bryan in 1896, that are supporting
him now. In fact we can only recall
the Chicago Chronicle and the Louis
vile Courier Journal and their support
is halfhearted and not likely to do much
good. The Brooklyn Eagle, the Phila-
delphia Record, the Philadelphia
Times, the Detroit Free Press, the st.
Paul Globe, the Denver Republican,
the Baltimore Sun, the Baltimor News,
the Richmond Times, and the Calves
ton News are among the twenty or
thirty prominent Democratic papers
that refuse to support Bryan. Then
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1900-08-03

there is the Salt Lake Tribune that
gave Bryan hearty support in 1896,
which now repudiates him and is sup
porting Mckinley and Roosevelt, as is
the leading Republican paper in Den
yer, which four years ago plugged
for Bryan.
In the State of New York, with the ex-
ception of the Buffalo Times there is
hardly a Democratic paper that sup
ports Bryan and the Kansas City plat
form in good faith. The New York
Journal and also the World give him a
qualified support but all the other lead
ing Democratic papers are antagonis-
tic to. the silver plank and Bryan
dictation. And the same is true in
Boston, and many other points. The
gold Democrats, press and individuals
alike, are not supporting Bryan this
year any more than they were four
years ago.

The political writer of the Mime
apolis Tribune, who is out through the
state looking over the political situa-
ton, principally as to the feeling of the
gold Democrats, says that from his
personal conversations he finds that
the gold Democrats of Stearns county
will not go back to Bryan, though they
may not all vote for Mckinley. On
congressional matters, he says that the
German American element may large
ly go back to the ticket, as it has be-
come apparent that Mr.. Towne is not
to run. They did not like him and
would not vote for him. 1t would
seem from this that they do not look
upon a member of congress of as much
Importance as the presidency, in con-
nection with the silver question and
may vote for congressman who would
do much to hamper the business inter-
ests of the nation.

The value of the exports from the
United States for the fiscal year end
ing June 30th last are reported at 81, :
1914, 479, 214. They exceeded our i'm
ports by 1914, 764, SS5. During the year
the exports increased $167, 455, 912,
while our imports increased 1852 565,
$40 over those of the preceding year.
1t is the first year that our foreign
trade ever exceeded two billion dol
lars The excess of exports over i'm
ports for the year were greater than
the total exports twenty years ago. 1t
is said that adding the excess of our
gold and silver exports, the total Gre
dit of the United States with the for
eign nations will reach about $571,
977, 235 for the year, which less the
$17O, 900, 900 it is estimated was paid
out for ocean freight balances, inter
est, tourists, credits, etc. leaves about
$400, 600, 600 due the country on its for
eign trade for the past year. This is a
very healthy showing.

The Bryanite assertion that the farmer
has not prospered under the betterment
of affairs during the past three years is
not borne out by the actual facts. In
1895 while we were enjoying a step to-
ward free trade, and the agitation for
50-cent silver dollars, the farm values
of the principal crops of the nation
were 81, 1877, 939, GIL. In 1899, the farm
value of the same crops reached So, :
900, $50, 735. This explodes the Demo
cratic theory that only the trusts have
prospered. Some 1923, 900, 600 is a
pretty good increase on ten of the prin-
cipal farm products. And to this can
be added about $633, 600, 000in the value
of live stock and dairy interests show
ing gain of nearly round billion of
dollars for the farmer through the bet
ter times of the Mckinley administra-
tion. And this increase does not take
into consideration fruit, eggs, wool
and numer of other small crops that
farmers are interested in.

Not long ago the Republican press
asserted that the new currency law
firmly established the gold standard.
Now it admits that it lied. Duluth
Herald.
The Republican press admits nothing
of the kind because it has not lied.
The law does firmly establish the gold
standard. Just as firmly as any issue
can be established by law. But as is
always the case when important poll
cies are inaugurated, there are those
who oppose them, and if they could
get control of affairs they would re-
verse the situation. That is the con-
dition which now confronts the nation.
The gold standard is firmly established,
but if the Bryanites could get in the
saddle, they would repeal it. That is
what the Republican press has had re-
ference to- But the people do not in
tend, from all indications, to give the
Bryanites the chance to upset things
again. They have prospered under the
old standard and will doubtless see
that it becomes the settled policy of
the nation. The experience of the
silver agitation of SO and $50 in con-
nection with the step toward free
trade is far too fresh in the memory
for a change just yet.

Mr.. Tonwe stays as vice presiden-
tial candidate. And now some of the
Democrats are wondering if, in the
event of the election of Bryan, he will
use his dictatorial powers on the
members of the electoral college as he
did on the Kansas City convention,
a nd demand Towns election, instead
of Stevenson No doubt he would dc
it if he had chance. But our Demo,
cratic friends can stay their fears.
Mr.. Bryan will never have chance.
The voters of the nation will never
allow him to go further.

The Republican congressional cam
paign committee are preparing for a
fight that will increase the Republi-
can majority in the next house.
This is business. With free coinage
looming up prominently again in the
Bryan Democracy, and the feeling
there is among Democrats against the
Bryanistic view on expansion, it
would seem that with a good stiff fight
there ought to be no trouble in in
creasing the Republican majority in
the house to twenty-five or forty.

A Kansas City Democratic paper ex-

A Kansas City Democratic paper ex-
claimed: eff there is a single trust
for Bryan, name It'll" To this the
New York Sun replies that so far no
trust has declared for any candidate,
but that three trusts have been made
particularly prominent by the fact
that their stock is held by prominent
politicians who are leading Bryanties,
and points them out as follows:
There is the ice trust, represented
by the Hon. Augustus Van Wyck of,
New York, delegate at large to the
Kansas City convention and a member
of the committee on platform
There is the round cotton bale trust
represented by the Hon. Jas. K. Jones,
of Arkansas, chairman of the national
Democratic committee
Lastly, and beyond comparison with
any other trust in the whole industrial
circuit, is the trust that publishes the
copyrighted" edition if 1.-THE Mes
sages and papers" of the United States
Presidents represented by the Hon.
James D. Richardson, of Tennessee,
leader of the Democratic party in the
h ouse of representatives and chairman
of the Democratic national convention
at Kansas City. The Richardson
monopoly is a common swindle
Before the campaign is over the
Democrats, whose representatives in
the lower house in congress voted in
favor of the trusts on the proposed
constitutional amendment, will wish
the trust issue had never been thought
of.

The political writer on the Mime
apolis Journal says that Charles A.
Towne will withdraw from his vice
presidential candidacy about Aug.
18th, at which time the Populist ma
tional committee will meet, and he
AYERS will substitute Stevenson for
Towne. The latter is now in Nevada
where he is making eight speeches in
belief of Organism. This latter fact in
dicates the changed condition of
affairs. Four years ago they would
not have wasted the time on Nevada,
but the prosperity of the west and the
growth of expansion, are making many
sections through the west, that were
solid for Bryan then, very shaky now.

A dispatch from South Africa in
yesterdays Minneapolis Times, says
that the Beers are keeping up their
show of hostilities on a promise of in
tervention by this country if Bryan is
successful. They might as will stop
if that is all they are continuing for, as
Bryan will not be winner. But if
Bryan and his associates have such a
thing in view how can they consistent
ly proclaim against militarism. Inter
vention in South Africa would mean
the greatest display of militarism in
this country seen since the civil war
and to prove successful would prove
far more expensive.

Bourke Cochran was strong gold
Democrat four years ago and did vail
ant work for Mckinley, During the
past year or so, however, Cochran
became much scared over the bogy i'm
perialism, and drifted back to the
Democratic party, and the Bryanites,
who had seen nothing but bad in him
for the two or three years previous,
and who had claimed he was a man
without much influence were sudden
ly impressed with his great influence
and power, and were telling what
great factor he would prove in the
campaign of 1900. But Cochran was
struck amid ship by the silver plank
of the Kansas City platform and his
usefulness impaired. He couldn't go
back to Democracy with 16 to star
ing him in the face, and his fears of
the very shadowy substance of imperi-
alism would not allow of his working
for Mckinley, so he has gone to Eu-
rope, and it is said he may not return
until after election. At least he will
take no part in the campaign, and the.
hopes of the Bryanites are dashed
again.

The morning papers brought the
news that King Humbert, of Italy was
assassinated last evening at Monza,
Italy. He had been attending the dis
tribution of prizes at gmynastic COM
petition, and was just entering his
carriage when the assassin sent three
bullets into his body, one of them en-
tering his heart. 1t is probable that
the assassin was a member of one of
the many anarchistic societies so COM
mon in Southern Europe, and which
look on the removal of a ruler of ma
tion as matter of glory.

China is reputed to have popula,
ton of 400, 600, 900 This however, is
all guess work, as no accurate census
of China has ever been taken. Will
liam Barclay, an American civil engi-
neer, who has spent much time there,
and had much experience among its
people, gives it as his opinion, result
ing from his observations that the
population will not exceed 200, 900, 600.
This is one of the most conservative es-
Inmates we have ever noted being
given.
