and succeeded in preaching the walls
and capturing all the forts.
.'The Chinese were completely routed
and the allies took possession Of the

L. COLE MAKES A STATEMENT.
The Well Known Business Man and
r Former Democrat Leader Is
Against Bryan.

: A. L. Cole, of Motley, who has
stores in his home village and at
Akeley, Walker and other Northern
Minnesota towns, has arrived at
the conclusion that Bryan's election
this year does not promise much for
the material interests of the country.
-Four years ago he was an active
supporter OF Bryan, and made
speeches throughout the county for
the free silver cause. Six years ago
he was on the Democratic ticket as
q candidate for representative. He,
in common with many other men,
now realize that their fears about
he results of McKinley's election
were groundless. Over his sigma
ture he publishes the following
statement in the Walker Pilot:
"In 1896, when the national con-
yentions were held, business was
stagnant the world over. We could
all see clearly the suffering and de-
struction caused by the shrinking OF
values. Many of us saw (or thought
we saw that still greater shrinkage
and greater suffering would result
when the gold standard became an
accomplished fact. We did not see
and realize that we had reached so
near the level OF the gold standard
price. confess squarely that the
events that have since transpired
have demonstrated to me that was
mistaken. When we see prices going
up everyday on everything almost
simultaneously with, and following
the gold standard we are witnessing
Just the conditions that we want.
We see confidence restored and men
taking their money from its hiding
and eagerly investing it. What bet
ter do we want that is in the realm
of possibility? Why does not Mr..
Bryan see this? What Ia, the object
in trying to obscure q fact that is
everywhere apparent? The gold
standard is now an accomplished
fact, and who has suffered dire
calamity that many OF us so conf
IDENTIFY expected? Now that we are
so safely launched on the gold stand
ard, what's to be gained Of; further
agitation of this question? The
triumph of Bryan this fall means a
continuous agitation OF this subject.
It means uncertainty, 1t means un-
settled business. 1t will shatter
confidence, it will stop Investments,
it will cripple enterprise. VIII bis
success at the polls be worth what
it costs? I fear not. I for one am
very sorry that Mr.. Bryan is NOM
mated and with him nominated
it is especially unfortunate
that the Democratic platform resur-
rects that silver plank. For several
months I, together with several
others, have been doing all could,
in q weak and futile way, OF course,
to prevent his nomination. While
Mr.. Bryan Ia an unusually brilliant
man, and in my opinion an honest
one. unfortunately he does not enjoy
the confidence OF the business men OF
the nation. His triumph means
shattered confidence and want OF
confidence means hard times. View
ing this question as I do, I do not
see how can support Mr.. Bryan
this fall.'

BaNkERs AND ,oPUhIsTs.

The one great and fundamental differ
political faiths is that the former believe
that Legislation in the only God and the
Populist is His prophet
The Republican may believe in rrotec-
ton: the Democrat in free trade The
Democrat may believe in local seif-gov-
ernment, and the Republican in strongly
centralized Federal authprity. but the
Populist is as the Gods. knowing good and
evil and untouched by both. He believes
in nothing but prosperity, with big P,
and legislation as the means of saving
grace when the legislation is in the hands
of Pepulists.
Far back behind the bad times in 1885,
and the Sherman bill; long before the
workman was thrown out of employment
by the failure of demand for manufac-
1ured supplies; long before the coming of
The drought and canker worm in Kan
sas. when mortgages on prairie Were sell
ing as high as corner lots in New York,
there arose a small but vociferous sect,
whose name was Populist, and whose war
cry was Let us have laws
Now when the hard times and HURT
canes and falling markets and bad crops
did come. as come they will the leayen of
that cry ieayened the whole lump. and the
Democrats. ali save few, and Silver Re
publlcans joined in The cry: Why should
We moi all be rich and happy, seeing that

In that day of heart-searchings and cheer
ing words from the Nehraskan wilderness
and Dakota rallies the bankers stood forth
as the most abused body of men in
America. .
The avarice Of the daughters Of the
horse leech was small thing in compari-
son with that attributed to the men of
the golden horde, and yet the bankers
prevailed.
to the American people of the fact that
their statements were bound to come true,
since they were founded on inimtaple
laws.
The American people have gone a long
way IN learning the fact that laws are only
the sonere,e eoncensus of opinion of a
community or nation and as such do not
affect things which opinion neither creates
nor controls.
But The Popnllst is the type of mind that
believes in law because it is law, and in
a rae, because il is a fact. He believes
that the law of the road is as firm and
Interchangeable as the law of grayltation or
Gresham's law. and the Populist has = lot
to learn in his day of knowledge of natp-
ral law
wha, Popalist old King canuse would
have been. And what a lesson the rising
tide taught MS royal fats.

have already expanded" as has been well
said, and the question now is as 10
whether or not we shall control; whether
we shall withdraw entirely from the last
and :eave all Eastern questions 10 be de-
termincd by the foreign Powers. We as.
sert that there are many Democrats, who,
while opposed to imperialism as that term
is employed in foreign parlance, are never
theless in favor of protecting the interests
OF the United States in the East.
One OF the most significant articles on
this subject that we have seen appeared
in the editorial columns of the Louisville
Cour.er-Journal of Monday last, from
which we take the following extract:
We are an Expansiorist. But we would
expand on Jeffersonian. not on Caesars
tic lines. We are an Expansonist- But
we would have the Constitution to follow
the flag We are an EXpansionist We
rejoice in the knowledge that at last the

many, merely a poor second in the jarr!nE
concert of Feudalsm and Vandalism. But
we would have the word go forth as

it, and as Lincoln sealed it with his blood
Even as Moses lifted up the Serpent in the
Wilderness would we lift up the Spirit OF
Liberty, Of Republican liberty, saying 10
mankind here are life and hope and room
for ALL
The Courer-Journal is now giving the
Democratic ticket its earnest and cordial
support, but while opposing Imperialism
our brilliant contemporary is confessedly
in favor Of expansion. According to our
idea the whole question may be briefly
summed up: Shall We by going into the
East and taking part in the worlds affairs
bring back foreign IDEAS of government:
Or shall we carry the American idea Of
government into foreign lands whitherso-
ever we 90? If the effect of this new de-
parture shall be to introduce into this
country the seeds of monarchy, truly will
expansion be most expensive thing for
US, no matter what the trade benefits.
But If in expanding we shall also expand
and extend the American principle, if in
exporting American iron and coal and man
ufactured goods we shall also export true
Amerlcanism, if our principles shall folio"
our trade as the shadow follows the sub
stance, then indeed viii expansion be a
benefit TO us and blessing to all mankind.
Il all comes back, therefore, to this; ShaA
we expand in the Democratic way or in
the Republican way? Shall we in e1paho-
ing exploit Democratic principles or Fepuo-
lican principles? That is the great ques-
ton for the American people to decide
