A Bryanite newspaper points out as
one of the horrors of militarism. now
forced on the country. that the en-
larged demand for canned meats has
forced up the price several cents higher
than It used to be. The fact that the
United States was furnishing few
millions of dollars worth of provisions
to the armies of Europe. was never
considered by any one in this country,
except a Democrat at a loss for an
argument, as anything save a very
good thing for us. A few months ago.
the lamentation was because canned
beef was fed to the American soldiers
in the tropics. Now it is because It is
being sold abroad. thus increasing the
price to the home consumer.

FROM THE PEOPLE.
DEFENDS MAI. wEIsENBURGER.

Seattle, Wash. Aug 16. 1900
To the Editor: My attention was di-
rected this evening to n communication

the Philippines.

Washington regiment under Mai. weisen-
burger and desire to say Just a word re-
garding this attack upon his record as
a soldier.
The boys of this state who went to
Luzon and did their best toward uphold
ing the record Of the citizen soidiery OF
our country are not asking commentator
from such men as he who attacks Mai.
Welsenburger in the article referred to,
nor are they asking favors of any kind
from any source. but they had expected
that there was not a man in the state
who would be so cowardly as to pen an
article for one OF Seattle's dailies in
which he would attempt to ridicule the
acts of one of our favorite officers during
the campaign in Luzon. / certainly did
think that IL anyone should attempt such
an attack upon one of our boys that they
would not be able to find daily paper
OF the state, and especially of the city
of Seattle which would lend it's assist
ance In such malicious attack
/ would Ike the people of Seattle and
OF the state to know that we who fol-
lowed Maj. weisenburger upon the bat
tlehelds about Manila stand az living
witnesses that his record in tho First
Washington regiment was one OF honor
and credit 10 the state. the regiment and
TO himself.
The facts are that the man who stated
IN the article referred to that Maj. Weiss
enburger attempted to make hero OF
himself while hghting for his country on
a foreign shore made an accusation as
base and contemplate as IL ~ false, and
every man In the old Washington reai-
ment, from drummer boy to colonel will
sustain me In fhls assertion.

Bryan a popuiist.

United States Senator Marion Butler
has announced how he stands on the
question of the presidency and vice
presidency. He is still for Bryan, In
spite OF the rough handling received at
the hands Of the Bryanites of his own
state. 1t win be remembered that he
was a very conspicuous figure in the
recent campaign in North Carolina
when the suffrage amendment was I'M
der consideration. and he opposed it as
multiplying the fifteenth amendment to
the constitution. 1t Is claimed that he
was serving selfish end. for his seat
In the senate was threatened and he
was trying to save 1t. He had little
soiicitude for the negro except as
factor In his own campaign. But even
while opposing the Democracy OF North
Carolina he was talking for Mr.. Bryan,
and in event OF his own personal sue
cess would no doubt be found working
with the Democrats of those states

decided to try against his protestation.

and favors the committee naming a

Mr.. Hewitt's shot is aimed at Mr..

The financial fate of the country has been
intrusted to him by a Republican admin

Democratic recklessness In dealing
with figures is so common that IT is
rarely worth challenging. And why
a Republican administration should
favor Democratic trust manager is
a problem too deep for us. But the
fact Is that there is no such sum In

bank statement of August shows that
the National City had on that date
