PICTORIAL CONTRASTS
DIFFERENT CONDITIONS UNDER
TWO ADMINISTRATION
Dismal Scenes of Poverty and Suffering
Give Place TO Gratifying Representa-
ton of the Splendid Prosperity Visible
Every Hand.

This weeks American Economist
presents two illustrations which
preach a sermon and tell a story OF
peculiar interest and significance. The
first, a Photographic reproduction of
scene OF actual occurrence, brings into
view condition which existed in jan
uary, 1894, less than year after the
inauguration of Grover Cleveland as
president of the United States. The adj
miniStratiOn of President Cleveland
was distinctly committed to the policy
of free trade, and from the moment
the result of the presidential election
Of November, 1892, became known, the
country began to feel the stress and
stringency of the changed industrial
and economic outlook. year and a
quarter later, the period at which the
scene portrayed in the first picture
occurred, the wage earners of the Unit
ed States were brought face to face
with the disastrous consequences in
vOlved in the triumph of free trade
Out of work. out of money, their wives
and children suffering for lack of food
and clothing, eagerly thronged the
places where relief was dispensed. One
among these numerous places was the
New York Herald building, corner of
Broadway and Ann street, where free
clothing was handed out to the needy
1t was a charity which honored the
generous proprietor of the Herald and
which went far toward mitigating the
to-be-forgotten free trade winter of
1S93-1S94. The charity the wor-

cause Of the element of reparation en-
tering into it.
Come we now to the second picture,
which appears in the New York Her
aid of Dec. 5, 1899. Three years and
a month have elapsed since the YER
dict of the people at the presidential
election of November, 1896, was made
known in favor of protective tariff.

The New York Herald was for many
years strenuous advocate of free
trade for the United States. 1t is not
so strenuous now. Otherwise it would
hardly have furnished the second pic

so convincingly the story of contrast
ing conditions under two administra-
tionS.

BARGAIN COUNTER THEo

Our Products Not Sold Abroad for Less
Than at Home.
One of the arguments most generally
urged against the protective tariff sys-
tenn by it's opponents is that American
products are frequently sold to foreign
consumers for less than they are sold
at home. The same objection might be
urged against the bargain counter
sales of the American merchant. He
has a surplus and cannot afford to hold
it over until the next season, to be put
up in competition with new and fresh
goods, even of the same manufacture.
The bargain day sales of the mer-
chant do not affect the salaries of his
employees, they are of some benefit to
those who buy, and although they may
not add to the profit side of the mer-
chants account, they at least save him
from loss.
The manufacturer cannot exactly es-
innate the quantity of goods he can
sell during the season, but he knows
he must have enough, and he further
more feels that he is in duty bound to
furnish lis employees full employment,
and therefore lets his mills go full
time. If he has a surplus and can dis
pose of it at cost in foreign country
it saves him from loss, helps the pur-
chaser to the extent of reduction in
price and above all, enables him to
give his labor full employment

Protection and the Gold Reserve.

Protection and the Gold Reserve.
The treasury statement for October
13 shows that the gold reserve in the
treasury stands at $257, TAG ,9O6. The
democratic endless chain seems
power1ess to draw the gold out of the
treasury during a Republican admin
1stratiOn. When we had free trade, or
tariff reform, the Democratic admins
tration sold over 1862 600. 900 in inter-
est bearing bonds to obtain gold with
which to maintain the gold reserve and
to pay current expenses of the govern
ment- There has been no drain on the
gold in the treasury since the Repub-
Hcans were placed in charge of it, be-
cause the people have full confidence
in the financial ability of the Republic
an party. If the Democratic party was
placed in power tomorrow our
para1leled prosperity would vanish, our
gold reserve would melt away like
snow in August, and before six months
had passed the endless chain would
be doing business at the old stand,
bonds would be sold to pay expenses
and maintain the gold reserve, bust
ness would be paralyzed and before a
year had passed the country would be
swept by a panic, and labor would be
thrown out of employment.-Bent

years.
1.-The country demands and should
have a settled and assured policy in re-
spect to those questions. The Dingley
law as a revenue producer has more
than satisfied those responsible for its
enactment, and has proved gratifying
to the people of the country gener-
ally.

Doing Very Wen.

The offer of the treasury department
to redeem $25, Zoo, 900 worth of govern
ment bonds is an unmistakable indf-
cation of the fourishing condition OF
our national finances. The lack OF
readiness shown by the holders of
bonds to take advantage of the offer
of the secretary of the treasury is an
equally reliable indication of the very
satisfactory condition of commercial
affairs throughout the country. The
Dingley law seems to he doing pretty
well. both by the government and by
the people generally.

Militarism and Imperialism :
Sismese twins OF straw and chaff,
were set up by Mr.. Bryan in his
speech of acceptance and knocked
down and blown away with vigor,
No thinking man for moment be-
lieves this nation in danger OF
either destructive standing army,
or that the republic will ever give
way to empire. Mr.. Bryan does
not think so. Possibly Mr.. Towne
does-he says so. Every two
years congress comes back to the
people for a new commission of
service, and congress regulates
these things-not the president.
The people are supreme in deter
mining these issues. Mr.. Bryan
forgets. He will not be the United
States, if elected-only a servant
of the people. That is all Mr.. Nc
kinley is.

When Mr.. Bryan wanted to be
notified of his democratic nomin-
alton to the presidency he went
to lndianapolis-he wants demo

he shall be notified of his populist
nomination he thinks st. Paul will
be the most profitable place-he
wants populist votes in Minnesota,
and when he shall be notified of
his free silver nomination the HER
AID suggests he goes to New York
City-for he certainly wants free
silver votes in that state. Isn't
there something decidedly theatric
or rather stacy in his method?
The dignified method would be for
the committees to seek him at his
home in Lincoln, Nebraska. But
it is Indicative of the man.

If war against China by the al
lied powers shall be averted by the
action of the Chinese government
the civilized world will be more
than pleased, but in any event the
conditions which have so long pre-
vailed in the celestial empire must
close. In some way the life and
property of foreigners, secured by
treaty agreements, must be pro-
tected. Thousands of foreigners
have been massacred, and to the
last of victims are added other
thousands Of native converts to
christianity. The situation is crit
ical. China will not be parti.
toned, but she will be brought to
a realizing sense that such out
RACES are intolerable. She has
burdened herself now with indem-
nifty charges which it will require
a generation to pay, and it is safe
10 say that henceforth her admin
istration of affairs will be largely
controlled by other nations.

Mr.. Bryan made a notable speech
of acceptance in Indianapolis last
week in that he had not a word to
say about the free coinage of sill
yer. After insisting that a specific
plank be placed in the platform at
Kansas City, he ignores it alto
gether. He was not sincere IN the
convention, or he is afraid of it
now. Dodge it as he may, the
country knows that he. and his
warmest adherents are not only
blind devotees to this monstrous
financial falacy, but if elected he
would, as he could, force it upon
the country to a degree that would
create the greatest panic this
country ever saw.

Can any one, Republican OF
Demoorat, in the seventh judicial
district, advance one single, sub.
stantial reason why Judge Judge
SearIe should not receive the
unanimous vote of the district? 1t
has been a pleasure for the republic
cans to vote for Judge Baxter, for
they believe in him, and in the
principle of keeping the judiciary
aloof from politics-and Judge
Searle is in every way his peer
upon the bench. And the HERALD
would pleasantly suggest, that if
the democrats force the election of
judges along lines purely political
it is they and not the Republican
who will lose by it. This is a
republican district. But the HER
AID knows that the call for the
convention at Little Falls is not a
democratic, but personal affair.

John Lind was elected upon the
plea that the farmers would be i'm
measurably profited by change
in the wheat inspection bureau of

change that should do away with
whole lot of republican rascality
and incompetency in the matter of
grading wheat, by means of which
the farmers were persistently
robbed. Well. he made the change.
New men are administering the
bureau, weighing charges have
been advanced, but does the farm
er feel that the crop of 1899 has
been more satisfactorily handled
than the preceding ones? That
specious plea will not serve this
year. Mr.. Lind will not be re-
elected.

this fall than ever before. His

PARTISAN BENCH.

from time lmmem0Tlal this
seventh judicial district has beer
absolutely non-partisan in the mat
ter of selecting its judges, and the
result has been most satisfactory
in that it has ever had upon the
bench men of marked ability and
integrity. Judge Mckelvey was a
democrat, and was repeatedly
elected in district which was
then, as it is now, republican, with
out political opposition. A republic
can governor appointed L. L. Bax-
ter, democrat, when an additional
judge was provided for, and during
all these years he has been upon
the bench he has never been OPP
posed at the polls, save once the
first time, when a handful of re-
publioans held convention and
nominated a republican in the per-
son of j. P. Williams of Fergus
Falls, an excellent man and fully
qualified, but who was overwhelm-
ingly defeated by republican votes
because the party felt that the
bench should be above and beyond
partisanship. This was fifteen
years ago, and Judge Baxter has
served ever since.
Judge Searle was appointed to
succeed republican judge, Hon.
L. w. Collins, when he was elected
to the supreme bench, and the dem
ocrats have never opposed candi-
date to him.
This district has been conspicu-
Gus in the state as having two of
the ablest judges upon the bench
who have served with the utmost
satisfaction. Their ability and in
tegrity are everywhere recognized.
The interests of no litigant ever
suffered by reason af any injustice
or bias on their part; and so well
satisfied are the attorneys practic-
ing before them that they have re-
peatly signed petitions for their
candidacy.
Such briefly has been the re-
cord in this district. But now,
and for some purpose not apparent,
a democratic judiciary convention
has been called to meet at Little
Falls on September II, to nomin-
ate a candidate in opposition to
Judge Searle. The call is signed
by w. P. Remer and c. E. Vasaly-
in opposition to the expressed
wishes of every democratic law
yer. and nearly every democratic
newspaper in the district. To the
credit of the democrats of the dis
trict, let it be said that an over
whelming majority of them are as
sincere adherents to the course OF
a non-partisan judiciary, as are the
republicans, and it is not probable
that any nomination will be made.
If it shall nominate, it will make
no difference with the result.
Judge Searle has nothing to fear.
He has the unbounded confidence
of the people, and the esteem OF
the bar. His election is assured.
