4 BELL BOY.

That sparkling musical comedy,
"A Bell Boy, will be presented in
this city on next Saturday evening
at the Phillips opera house and it is
safe to predict that standing room
will be at premium before the cur
tain goes up on this humorous play,
as it is said to be one of the best on
the road. One of the secrets of the
success of "a Bell Boy, is that the
management has jealousy guarded
against weakening it by an indiffer-
emit cast or tawdry scenery and in
these details an excellent discipline
has been maintained.

CROKER'S PLAIN TALK

| When no elections are pending such

Il believe In expansion: 1 believe in hold

This policy is not only patriotic. but
1t is the only safe one TO pursue. Any other
policy would show weakness on the part
of the United States, and invite foreign
complications This must be avoided.
hence our policy must be vigorous.
Every patriotic American and every
democrat in particular should favor ex-
pansion.

Official Figures Show United
States Now Second in the
Worlds Foreign Trade.
Calamity Cries of Bryan and His
Followers Are Set at
Naught.
Markets of the World Being Captured
Gold Standard and Protection
Triumphant.

Mr. Bryan is an advocate of free
trade and free silver, but he and his
followers have always maintained that
a protective tariff would deprive us
of the markets of the world. while
the gold standard, if maintained.
would result in our absolute expul-
sion from them and our commercial
ruin.
What are the facts? We give below
table made from the official figures
furnished by the treasury department
of the United States, showing the
foreign commerce of the six great
civilized and gold standard nations
| of the world for the year 1899 The
figures for 1900, so marvellous is the
increase in our prosperity, it is con-
fidently predicted, will put us at the
head of the list or only excelled by
one country, Great Britain. We have
already. it is known, surpassed Great
Britain in the volume of export trade.

| than we sold them. In other words
| we failed by that amount OF captur-

In 1872 before "silver had been struck
