Me ssrs. Kennedy and Campbell Reply
to Dr.. Wallace


DR.. Wallace-Sir: We are sorry
to see in your last article that We did
now answer your inquiry to suit your
fancy. Now We will take up the
matter and try to make 1t plain.
You said in your first article that 1t
ndsht interest the taxpayers to know
why they have to Sustain "A loss of
nearly $50. Now, DR.. Wallace, let's
see how this statement Of yours will
t,.lly with your bids filed in this Of
fee. If YOU had been successful,
your bid for 1899, $lG0, and your
bid for 1900. $25, would have made
Il total Of $1S5. Now, doctor, You
Sc it would have cost the taxpayers
of the couuty $3.50 IN two years II
vou had been awarded the contract.
Now, let us see whatit actually did
cost the taxpayers for the above
mentioned time.. In 1899, 1t was let
to DR.. J. G. Fillmore for $leO; Ia
1900 to DIR. W. Y. Rrockinten for
$,3.75, total Sl73.75 These GSures
SHOW that Instead of the taxpayers OF
the county losing nearly $40, rs you
stated. we have saved for them Sll.2a
The records in this office w'Ii show
the above statement to be correct
Now, DIR. ". L. Wal!ace, We ask you
to show to the taxpayers where we
have caused them to sustain any loss
at all. We suppose that where you
succeed in your plans the taxpayers
save, but where YOU arc no. success
full the taxpayers have to suffer Il
heavy loss. Oh! my.
You said YOU did the work III
1898 for $25. Then, if YOU could DO
the work Iii '9S for $25, why did yon
want s32 for doing one fifth OF the
same in 80? Why was it worth so
much more to do the practice III '99
than It WAS in '9S and 1900! Now,
as to YOUR statement that we r'n the

this We brand us untrue. We harI
no advice from Mr.. Gilland what
ever when this matter was up before

matter, doctor, and have it corrected.
See Mr.. J. J. B. Montgomery, our
clerk, and he will give you the facts
Of the case.
After asking if DIR. Brock'nton
had stuck to the combine, you III
o,,ire what "unstuck" him: We sup

We did not buy off Dr. Brockinton.
but we think we sold ont one of the
gas bags of the medical profession of

ing made we We're pledged to DR..
Brockinton to give him the practice
at $13, even if you had offered to do
it for nothing. 1t is ap old and true
saving that the cheapest Is not the
best. ], Kennedy, never had any
thing to say to DR.. Brockinton in my
life on this subject until after the
contract had been let to him. !,
Campbell, did ask DR.. Brochinton
to put in a bid. Now, DIR. Wallace,
did YOU not try to get the members
of the medical profession to go into
the same agreement again this year,
but make IL complete failure: DIR.
". Y. Brockinton's certificate, which
follows, will show that you did:
This ccrtifes that DR.. W. L..
Wallace came to mc Oh the morning
of 22d day of january, 1900, and

As TO COMMERCIAL GREED.

Mr.. Bryan is talking about the CONNER
cial greed of the Republican leaders, what
ever that may mean. as he does not make
himself clear on that point. 1t has always
been the policy of the Republican party
to make conditions which afford to all the
people of the United States the best in
dustrial and commercial advantages. 1t has
to our people the markets of the world,
and, at the same time, to retain the home
markets as far as possible for home labor
and enterprise. This policy has been so
successful thai the excess of the mer-
chandise we sell the world over what we
purchase has been three or four hundred
million dollars a year during the past
three years. If it is commercial greed
that has caused our exports to be doubled.
given the United States control of the
worlds iron trade, and brought to us hun
dreds of millions of money from other ma
tons, most people will not consider it a
calamity. Before the trouble in China the
Republican administration had secured the
ODCI oOOi ~ PlOoQ1lS III hlaI
country, on the best terms, no matter what
policy the powers pursued toward China
If such diplomacy is commercial greed.
there cannot be too much of 1t. During the
past ten years. under Republican legisla-
ton, the United States has wrested the
tin-plate industry from Great Britain as it
has wrested other industries, which have
made us independent of the world so far
as our own consumption is concerned-do
the American people object to such conn
mercial greed?"
Four years ago the Republican leaders
fought Mr.. Bryan's silver heresy TO defeat.
Ii came into power finding every industry
in the country p~aralyzed by the fear which
his financial heresy had inspired. Two mil
lion men were said to be idle i'm 1896.
Bryan's defeat was followed by the quick
ening of every industry in the country, so
that few men really seeking employment
are without 1T. 1t times there has actually
been a scarcity of skilled labor. The result
of Republican success has been that con-
fidence reigns, that enterprise is active.
that labor is earning millions a week more
than ever before, and that the country is
prosperous as it never was before. II this
is the result of the "commercial greed of
the Republican party the country will re-
gard it as a good thing to have and to
keep.

Mr.. Bryan does not make a speech now
that does no betray a purpose to deceive
the voters on the assumption that they
are ignorant. Here is an example in a late
speech:
The Republicans now openly espouse the
gold standard. They declared for the gold
standard at Philadelphia after they threw
overheard a platform sanctioned by the
administration that contained a promise
for international bimetallism. They say
they do not believe in the ratio of 10 TO /.
When they make that assertion, you ask
them why Mr.. McKinley's administration
is coming silver dollars to-day at he
ratio OF 10 to l.. In the month OF M -ch
the Republican administration coined 4.OO,-
600 silver dollars at the ratio of 16 to 1,
and yet the Republicans think that the
ratio of 16 to l is not right.
The only truth in the foregoing is that
1900, 600 standard silver dollars were coined
during the month of March, 1900. They
were coined because, under the act of 1880,
known as the Sherman silver law. the
United States purchased a large guam
tity of silver bullion, paying for 1t In treas
ury notes redeemable in STANDARD silver
dollars coined from the bullion thus pur-
chased. After a long debate, the portion
Of the Sherman law requiring the pur-
chase of silver bullion was repealed, but
the sections requiring that this bullion
should be coined into standard silver dol
lars for the redemption of the treasury
notes with which it was paid remained in
force, and is in force to-day. 1t is under
that law, which is in the nature of a con-
tract, that standard silver dollars are
coined. The ratio of 16 to 1 has no more to
do with the coinage than has the ratio of
silver quarters and halves to the value
of gold, which the government coins by
millions every year.
Mr.. Bryan knows that there Is no ap-
prevail of the ratio of 16 to 1 in the coming
of tandard silver dollars under the Sec
lions of the Sherman act which remain in
force. If he does not know this he is too
ignorant to be President of the United
States. AS he had to do with all this leg
~islation, voting against the repeal of the
Sherman law, il is fair to assume that he
does know that he is attempting to deceive
people by giving the impression that, by
some recent act recognizing the ratio of
16 to 1, the Republican administration is
coming silver. No fair-minded man would
resort to such practices to deceive voters.

Hawaii a source of Revenue.

Washington Letter in Brooklyn Eagle.
1t appears that the Hawaiian islands
are proving a good source of revenue to
Uncle SAM, and that every month a snug
surplus is placed in the federal treasury
after paying the expenses of the island
from the customs and other receipts. Last
month the customs receipts amounted to
S62 ,519.07, which is far in excess of the cost
of collection. After the expenses of the
postal service and other administrative Of
fees have been deducted there still remains
a good profit. a report that has just been
received at the Treasury Department from
Honolulu states that the harbor at that
point is soon to be improved. AT present
IL is so small that the commerce., which
is large in proportion, is seriously ham,
pered. there being from ten to twenty ves-
sells constantly lying at anchor. waiting to
discharge at the docks. A powerful rail-
road company. with a terminal at the har-
Dor. is now building a series of new docks
and is also dredging the channel. When
these improvements h have been COM
pleted the facilities will be much better
than at present. The Hawaiians will elect
a delegate to Congress this fall, and when
the latter comes to Washington he will
ask, among other things, for an appropria-
ton to improve the harbor at Honolulu.

The kind of Imperialism that President
Mckinley proposes TO establish in the
Philippines may be inferred from the fol-
lowing extract from a speech delivered
by him at Minneapolis in october, 1899. He
said:
That they 1.-THE islands, will be retained
under the benign sovereignty Of the United
States / do not permit myself to doubt.
That they will prove a rich and invaluable
heritage / feel assured. That Congress will
provide for them a government which will
bring them blessings, which will promote
their material interests as well as advance
their people in the path of civilization and
intelligence / confidently believe. They will
not be governed as vassals, or serfs. or
s~laves-they will have given to them a
government of liberty, regulated by law,
honestly administered, without depressing
exactions, taxation without tyranny. jus
tlce without bride, education without dis
tinction of social conditions, freedom of re-
ligious worship and protection in life, lib
erty AMI the pursuit of happiness.
That these conditions will in due time fol-
low the establishment of stable government
in the Philippines there can be no doubt.
They are very different from Imperialism.

Dur Native Trees.

The complete title of this book is "Our
Native Trees and How to Identify Them:
A Popular Study of Their Habits and Their
Peculiarities." The author is Harriet L..
Keeler, and she has produced an inter-
esting and instructive work, one that is
quite exhaustive of the subject on the
line of treatment adopted. The trees de-
scribed in the volume are those indigen-
Gus to the region extending from the At
lantic ocean to the Rocky mountains and
from Canada TO the northern boundaries
of the Southern States. This includes New
England. the Eastern. the Central Western
and most of the Western States. The
authors plan includes a list of genera and
species. descriptions of the various trees,
descriptions of the form and structure of
their roots, stems, leaves, flowers. fruit
and trunks, a glossary of botanical names,
a list of common names, etc. In carrying
out this plan the author describes upwards
Of 160 different varieties of trees, including
eight varieties of the maple family, eight
of the walnut family, seventeen of the
oak family, nineteen OF the willow fam
lily twenty-five of the pine family. etc.
Each of these descriptions is accompanied
by Illustrations that aid the text, includ-
ing illustrations of trunks. leaves, bios

and vet. strange 10 say, the buckeye is
not widely nor very generally known 10
Ohioans. The reason for this Is to be
sought in the character of the tree, for
trees vary in social habits: some are gre
garious and live in communities, others
prefer solitude. A moments reflection will
show that this is true. A maple grove is
of frequent occurrence. an oak forest is
common enough. the beech alone often COW

hears of an elm forest. an elm grove may
be found. but even that Is unusual. The
