INCREASE OF WHEAT CON-
SUMPTION.

Details of the Latest international
Effort to Benefit American Farmers.
Mr.. John G. Hanley of st. Paul,
Minn., president Of the National Cotton
Growers association, secretary of the
National Grain Growers association,
and president of the International Con-
eress of Agricultural Associations of
the World, recently held at Paris, re-
turned to America from that city,
and while in New York he announc-
ed the results of the international
congress deliberations and outlined
the proposed project for increasing the
prosperity of the agricultural classes.
The main detail of this proposition is
to vastly increase the demand for
wheat and other western farm prod
ucts by introducing them as foods in
the oriental or Aslatic nations.
Mr.. Hanley has gone to Washington
to confer with the Chinese minister,
who will be asked to serve as honorary
vice president of the international
directorate of the congress, and to
represent China in that body. Mr..
Hanley, by direction of the Paris con-
gress, will discuss with the minister
propositions looking to the opening of
China to the grain growers of the
world, and especially to the American
farmers. President Hanley believes
that WI Ting Fang may be induced t.
cooperate with the American and Euro
pean farmers in bringing about bet
ter oriental market for American and
European crops. Hanley will show the
Chinese minister that China ought to
have a better market in the west for
her silks and teas, and that this can
be brought about only by opening the
oriental market to western nations.
The American wheat growers argue
this way: "If we can find market for
the 40,000000 bushels for export raised
on the Pacific slope, which is now 20
per cent Of our entire wheat export,
and if we could divert that into the
/ oriental countries and release that sur
plus from the already overcrowdcd
| European markets, the effect would be
to raise the price of wheat 90 cents
per bushel on the entire crop of G00,-
100000 bushels in the United States
which would mean S120.000000 extra
profit to American farmers" The
I same argument applies to cotton, they

GENERAL PALMER'S CHOICE

He Is For Mckinley as Against Bry-
an and Predicts n Panic if the Re-
publicans Are Defeated.
General John NJ Palmer, leader of
the Gold Democrats i'll 1896, has de-
clared himself on the issues of the
present campaign. AS between Bryan
and Mckinley he will vote for Nc
Kinley. He believes in commercial
expansion, and he declares that Bryan
is leading the Democratic party TO
Populism alu disaster. In Il recent
interview at his home in Springfield,
Ills, General Palmer said as follows:
"Mr. R"yans views are inconsistent
with true democratic principles. Pop
ulism is unsafe, and Mr. Bryan is the
high priest of Populism, which has al
ready become strong enough to menace
the best interests of n stable govern
ment. 1t has grown wonderfully
strong and wonderfully dangerous
But Mr.. Bryan will be defeated
The cry of Imperialism will change
few votes. 1t is a false alarm, and the
thinking people know it. If there has
been expansion, circumstances have
warranted it. Cuba will be under self
government in a little while, and the
Philippines will be ruled as best the
administration can.

this country do with the Philippines?

TRAIToRous PLOTTING.
Moro Revelations Concerning the
TreasOnabIe Filipino Plot.

moro revelations Concerning the
Reasonable Filipino Plot.
A number of letters and private pa
pers belonging to Aguinaldo and cap
tured some months ago in Luzon by
General Funston have just been made
public by the war department.
Officers of the department say that
this correspondence fully establishes
the truthfulness of the assertion that
members of the Anti-imperialist
league in this country gave aid and
comfort TO the enemy during the strug-
gle in the Philippines.
There Is one letter from a resident
of the United States, dated at Fort
Hamilton, n. T., July II, 1899, which
is regarded as fully justifying charge
OF treason against the writer, Mon
tague X. Leverson of the Anti-imperial-
list league. The authorities are of the
opinion, however, that Leverson has
done no more than Bryan. Leverson
went so far in his letter as to suggest
to one of the insurgent officers that
some officer of rank in the service of
the United States should be seized and
tried for piracy.
An equally interesting letter Is one
from w. G. st. Clair to Howard w.
Bray, the publisher of the Singapore
Free Press. The writer, who evidently
took part in the plans for the compro-
missing of Admiral Dewey and Consuls
Pratt and Mosely, lays great stress on
the fact that the American public
should be impressed with the belief
that Dewey and Aguinaldo had com
mon interests in the Filipino struggle
In one part of the letter he says: "The
sole thing to have impressed upon the
public in America would be the chain
ing of Dewey and Aguinaldo together
as participators in common action.
Sink everything into Dewey-Aguinaldo
cooperation that was on both sides
honest even If it did not imply any
actua! arrangement, which. of course.
Dewey himself could not make"
A letter from Agoncillo in Paris. in
recommending line of political action
for the insurgents, says: "Foment the
actions of the Democratic party in the
United States, which advocates our in
dependence. 1 am doing this in the
way it seems fitting to me-"

The Regular II, publican State Con-
vcntion held Tuesday was another de-
feat for the landed aristocracy, Colonel
Henry A. du pont, who has posed as the
State boss for five years, and has been
a bitter uncompromising foe Of Addicks,
was defeated by the moderate Republi-
cans. who favor making some conces-
sions to the Union Republicans. The
attack on the du Pont forces was led
by ex-senator Higgins, himself one of
the political aristocracy. But it was
inspired by the younger generation.
The present outlook is that the party
will unite and Addicks will be recog-
nized.
To the outsider unfamiliar with the
political situation in Delaware. this may
seem Il calamity and the triumph of cor
ruption. In reality it is another step
toward freeing the State from its great
est political curse, the tyrannical domi-
nation Of its politics by the cold fam
lilies" of both parties.

"N. g." In the West


AS soon as the Republican campaign
managers had read Bryan's speech Of
acceptance they sent scores of tele-
grains to Republican leaders in all
parts of the west, instructing them to
note carefully the effect of the speech
on the rank and file of the voters and
report results to headquarters by wire.
Up to that time all the reports from
the west were to the effect that there
had been little or no public interest in
the Democratic issue of ''anti-imperial-
ism" Senator Hanna and his asso-
ciates were anxious to know if Bryan's
speech devoted to the one issue had
changed the situation.
The reports called for are now COM
ing in and they indicate that Bryan's
speech was the biggest kind of dis
appointment all through the west, and
that If he speaks ON that line from
now until election day he cannot make
imperialism" paramount issue. The
Republican leaders find that the busi-
ness interests of the west and most
or the intelligent men who have studied
the question for themselves are in
favor of expansion, while the voters,
who are not well informed on the issue
take little or no interest in it-in fact,
most of them care nothing about it.
1t has been found that the opposition
to alleged Imperialism in the west is
confined to a few agitators in the
cities and to the Democratic and Popu-
list politicians who are trying to con-
ceal the free silver plank of their ma
tional platform. There are no clubs or
societies anywhere to agitate the ques-
tion, no organization of anti-imperial-
lists and no general interest in the
subject. All reports agree that the
question cannot be made an issue in
this campaign, except in the minds of
few cranks and Democrats who are
ashamed or afraid of the real issue in
their platform.

There is more catarrh in this section

put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease. and therefore requires consti-
tutionai treatment. Halls Catarrb
