go forward. under Bryan we turn back.
The coming test Of the silver question
at the polls must, in all human proba-
bility, be the final one. The will Of the
voters twice registered will not be the
third time disputed. Each year that we
preserve our present money standard
gives it additional security. The Amer
lean people do not like experiments with
their currency, their school houses, their
churches or their savings banks. A re-
versal Of the popular verdict OF 1896
would mean reversal of all the achieve
ments that make up our national pros
perity. Bryan's election would mean that
the sovereign people had decreed that our
laborers shall be paid in silver, while
our foreign debts must still be paid in
gold.
Convinced as am that the financial
question Is the paramount issue IN Mo-
vember, 1900. as it was in November,
1896, it is worth while for Democrats
who supported Mckinley, as did, four
years ago, to ask what are the issues
upon which our party could have appeal
ed to the American people with fair pros
pects of success, and what we can con-
tend for in future contests, after this
economic and financial question is finally
settled. To my mind these define them
selves as reform in governmental admin
istration, economy In governmental ex-
penditure the taxation and regulation OF
oppressive trusts and combinations, and
the immediate enactment of just and
honest scheme Of colonial government.
These would have been issues upon which
every patriot could have been honestly
asked to vote Why should we not set
fairly about a reform In our old system
Of taxation, and, at the same time, initi-
ate departure which might well result
in throwing the cost Of government upon
those who can best afford it2
The silver problem solved once for all, as
1t will be in November, the colonial prob
lem at once becomes paramount. We
must either give up Hawaii Porto Rico
and the Philippines, haul down our flag,
and shamefully abandon the righteous
fruits Of our prowess by land and sea,
or we must prepare to govern these dis
tant additions to our country fairly and
honestly and capably. A per-
petual, constitutional barrier must be
erected against the statehood of all our
possessions. That SUI
premely important problem is to be met
aud overcome, not by cowardly evasion
or disgraceful retreat, for the American
people will tolerate no such course. We
must institute honestly and wisely and
administer economically an American CO.
lonial system, worthy alike Of our new
possessions and of their mother country.
We are not incapable Of governing them.
We are, as nation, incapable Of nothing.

sity for Assuming Larger
National Life.

I One Of the most successful, distin-
guished and popular railway presidents
In the United States is the Hon. Mel
willie e. Ingalls, Of Cincinnati. From the
very ground Of railroad construction he
has worked his way up to the presidency
of TIE Chesapeake and Ohio and Big
FouS railway systems, among the most
prosperous Of our great trunk lines. Mr..
ingalls, Is one of the people, and is prac-
hcal in every idea. He Is lifelong Dem
ocrat, and from the September issue of
the North American Review the follow
ing extracts are made from Mr.. ingalls,
advice to Gold Democrats:
What has happened since November,
1896. to warrant reversal Of the judg-
ment which the American people then
pronounced at the polls? Under what
conditions have we entered on the pres
ent presidential campaign, and what, in
this regard, is the duty Of patriotic clti-
gems, independent Of partisan afiliation?
TO the Democrat who voted for Palmer
and Buckner, as well as to the Democrat
who voted for Mckinley four years ago,
the situation to-day presents peculiar
embarrassments. Preferring to act with
his party, when possible, the patriotic
Democrat must, nevertheless, answer the
call Of duty, no matter in what direction
1t leads him.
! The second and supreme trial of the
great financial issue, which never should
have been dragged into partisan politics,
win be made at the polls in November,
1900. This test will l believe, be con-
elusive. What are the conditions under
which It is to be made?
! There Is In the United States at the

the American farmer and laborer, must
address himself. And in the solution Of
that problem he will find the present goal
of patriotism.
The business man who does not inquire
into the politics Of his bookkeeper is
asked by the supporters of Mr.. Bryan to
allow partisan politics to be injected into
the circulating medium through which he
carries on his business. He refused in
1896, as he will refuse, believe, in 1900,
to impute either Democracy or Republi-
canism to the dollar. He will say that
1t is not political question, and that 1t
should not be made such. Asking him
self where he shall seek guidance In the
casting Of his ballot, he, like the laborer
and the farmer, looks out upon prosper
ity unprecedented. He sees trade follow
Ing the flag all around the world, and
new markets opening to him under neW
national responsibilities. He realizes, as
a business man, that these responsible
ties must be grappled with and adjusted
on a business basis. No policy Of evasion
or retreat can commend itself to him.
Yet, into the field OF partisan discussion
he finds these responsibilities dragged,
like the dollars from his counting room,
by the politicians who seek his vote. And,
like the farmer and the laborer, he finds
his next national ballot invested with
unique inheritance.
What will be the reply Of the American
patriot, who Is now asked to believe that
his home and his pocketbook are staked
on the next turn of the ballot, that a
wrong decision spells ruin, and that he
must decide issues of such moment as
were never before submitted to the Amer
lean electorate?
Bryan's election appears to
me impossible . Good citizens,
irrespective Of party, should vote for Nc
Kinley in November. That it is the duty
of patriots to do SO / have no doubt.
The safety of the American republic is
not menaced by d DOGGY, crowned with an
imperial diadem Of straw. The cry of
imperialism is simply a pretext Of the
Democratic leaders to save themselves
from the fatal blunder they made In
1896, the blunder of dragging the dollar
to the polls and endeayoring to degrade
1t. Imperialism is not the paramount
issue, despite all efforts to make it so.
Now, as in 1906, the real issue is the
Silver Danger. That is the peril threat
ening this country, not the imaginary
evils attendant on the acquisition of new
territory, which was the inevitable re-
suit of war for which the shriekers
against Imperialism were largely respon-
sible. The only peril now threatening
the United States is ruin and retrogres-
sion under silver, the turning back OF
the wheels Of progress and prosperity
to the standards Of China and Mexico,
and the abandonment of our position as
the greatest country in the civilized
world
Shall we go forward or shall we turn
back? That is the question for the vot-
ers in November Under Mckinley we

present day unparalleled prosperity, in
which every citizen has a right to share.
If any citizen is prevented from sharing
in that prosperity, he is the victim OF
conditions which cannot be righted by
the election Of Bryan, strongly as he may
be tempted to trust in that remedy. I'm
der the gold standard we have become
the leading creditor nation, and we are
financing the world. We have produced
three great crops In succession, and we
are feeding Europe. We have had three
years Of unexcelled manufacturing In
dustry, and we are finding prompt and
generous market all oyer the world. The
American farmer, the American laborer
and the American business man were
never as prosperous as they are to-day.
1t is by their SURFACES that this presiden-
tial election must be decided. In what
direction do their interests lie?
The American farmer is selling for
BIN cents a bushel corn which 1t costs
him Is cents to produce. His wheat and
cotton, his beef and pork are selling at
profitable prices. He is spending his
money In luxuries and enjoying himself.
He is riding In railroad trains, and, as he
looks from the car windows over the
bountiful harvests, he is taking a new
view not only Of his native land, which
was never fairer or happier, but is also
thinking Of his new markets and new
possessions" across the seas.
The laborer is to-day receiving more
wages than he ever received before, and
he is receiving them in a currency that is
good all over the world. In many in
stances, undoubtedly, there must be a
readjustment of wages, and the sporadic
strikes now reported In various manufac-
turing centers point probably to the be-
ginning Of this readjustment. In my opin-
ion, these and kindred difficulties will be
safely and speedily settled.
Now, can any sane man tell me how
the laborer will help his condition, or the
solution Of the problems SO vital to him,
by voting to debase our standard of value
and thereby reducing his own wages?
What has labor to hope from Bryan,
ostensibly the friend OF the dissatisfied,
the champion Of the aggrieved, and the
chosen candidate Of all the long-haired
reformers in the United States? Does
not the supreme salvation OF labor de-
pend, after all, upon preserving our
standard of value, upon the non-partisan
regulation Of trusts, and upon the appli-
cation to those great commercial aggre-
cations, which are so peculiarly a pro-
duct Of this age, Of system of license
and taxation? Is 1t not Idle to denounce
the trust as an evil, menace to the ma
tional welfare? Is not the trust a nat
ural and essential development Of our

RAW MATERIAL IMPORTS.

Manufacturers Buy More Freely ana
Make More Finished Goods.
One of the most interesting portions
of the annual report OF the treasury bu-
reau for 1900 concerns the importation
of manufacturers materials.
Crude and raw materials were moro
largely imported than ever before, and
formed large share Of the total imports.
Those included manufactured fibers,
raw silk, wool, crude India rubber, hides.
skins, pig tin, and chemicals. The inn
portations of these articles amounted to
the sum Of 1902, 264, 106, which was 40
per cent greater than in any preceding
year. Then there were PARTICLES wholly
or partially manufactured, for use as MAJ
terials in manufacturing" which includ-
ed wood, leather, furs, cement, yarns.i
oils, dyes, dye woods and certain chemi-I
calls, amounting to SIS, 433, $40 Taken
together, these materials for use in OUR
manufactures show an increase of $101.-
375, 1893 over those OF the year 1899.
All these imports were taken by ourE
manufacturers to be worked over and rel
sold, aud the returns indicate in the clear
est manner the prosperity Of the manu-
featuring business. Some of these arti-I
cles were free from customs duty, while
others were dutiable, showing how the
wise discrimination Of the Dingley tariff
law promoted both the interests Of the
manufacturers and the interests Of the
people. The share which articles in the
raw form for manufacturing purposes
have in the Imports is constantly increas-i
ing, and in the year just ended make byi
far the largest total In the history Of our
foreign commerce. All Of this means tho
better employment OF American labor.

( Monopolies in this country are due

In the election Of our State legislatures,
can apply. We can pass State laws for
the regulation Of those monopolies. And,
by the way, speaking Of politics, the Re-
publican national platform declares
against monopolies and would propose
national legislation against them.
Gov. Roosevelt, q singularly clear
headed public man on civic questions, let
me tell you, sees the point. He would
legislate against monopolies. firmly
believe that this legislation will come,
and with it other laws intended to rcgu-

He hasn't been making so very much
money in industrial stocks of late. He
rot caught lots of times. Perhaps you
recall the case of the bicycle trust. The
promoters of that scheme went to GER

million dollar basis. 1t wouldn't 60. 1t

PUSH AUDITORIUM PLAN
MODERN WOODMEN WILL HELP
If THEY CAN.

The general committee repr esentinR the
local camps of the Modern Woodmen Of
America, which Is arranging for the en-
tertainment of the head camp of the Or
der when it holds its conclave here In
1901, Will take an active part in the agi-
tation for q new auditorium for the city
of st. Paul.
This was decided upon last night at
meeting of the head camp committee, at
which a committee consisting of Lindsey
T. Walters, ]. F. Krieger, C. II. Bronson,
L. D. Bissell, d. O'Connell and Henry
commercial and other organizations Of
the city which have devoted any consid-
GRAFTON to the auditorium project, with a
view to assisting, if possible, in the pro-
motion of the plan at this time when the
burning of the immense structure at Kan
sas City has made conspicuous the
need for a fire-proof meeting place for
assemblies of the magnitude of national
conventions, political, fraternal or other
wise.
The Woodmen entertainment committee
now has 81 500 in its treasury, which Is
increasing monthly as reports are receiV-
ed and by the time the encampment
comes the committee will be endowed
with q strong fund for the demonstration
of true st. Paul hospitality to the stran-
gers within the citys gates.
Reports are that something like leo drill
teams will be here to participate in the
prize competitions for the best drilled
teams representing camps of the order,
and an immense attendance OF members
, is expected.
