A RICH MAN BUILDS n CITY

The Pomona Herald of Rhode Island
says that Mr.. James w. Tufts, of Bos-

the Southern Pines, n. c., region. lie
saw here a town of fine hotels, hand
some homes, beautiful farms and pro-
titable vineyards, and inside of ten
days after his arrival he had purchased
six thousand acres of land near the
town. He employed the best land
scape engineers, laid the grounds out
and then commenced a great work.
Hundreds Of carpenters and laborcrs
were employed, building roads, parks,
electric car lines, lakes, hotels, houses,
deer parks, and in fact everything that
money could build. This work has
been kept up, until to-day this man
has one of the most unique and hand

houses, restaurants, and everything to

The best part of this work, is that
this big hearted man is not doing this
solely for his own pleasure, but he is
entertaining at about actual cost, hun
dreds OF doctors, lawyers, ministers and
teachers, who could not afford to pay

WHY THE GOLD STANDARD ?

Senator Chandler Pleads With His
Republican Colleagues TO stand by
Past Party Pledges.
Senator w. T.. Chandler, OF New
Hampshire, opposed the gold standard
bill in an able speech n lew days ago,
from which we make the following ex-
tracts
As TO the course of prices, there is
no certainty that the rise in prices,
which arc still only about three. fOurths
OF their former rate, will be Increased
or even maintained. There is an ebb
and flow in every pro Ongcd movement
In human affairs.
Neither is 1t certain that the ia.
creased production Of gold will con-
tinue. AT various times in the history
Of the production OF gold and silver
there has been alarm amounting al
most TO panic in connection with sua
den discoveries Of largo bodies OF on
or the other OF the pr ecious metas.
Therefore, not by reason of these
fluctuations in production was the
system OF bimetallism temporarily
| broken down. The consensus uf the
nations maintained the value of the
metals in accordance with tho ratio
ii, 10, or l6 TO land If silver were
now TO be remOnetlZcd there 10 not the
slightest reason to believe that the
ratio OF that consensus OF the nations
would be disturbed by the large quan.

Of the world. GA the contrary, this
increased production Of gold ls exactly
what Is needed TO Offset the increa sea
silver production complained OF, which
led TO the steps which have been taken
toward the demoucti2atlOn of silver.
Look at the comparative pi oduction OF
the two metals within the last five
years and see If it can be said that
there is to-day any danger that with
silver completely remOnetlZed the new
silver money would so far exceed the
new gold money that the system OF
metallic money, consisting Of both gold
and silver, which has existed from The
foundation OF the world, must be- de-
strOyed by the exclusion entirely OF
one Of the metals from being treated as
any part OF that system Of metallic
money.

AS a result the yield per acre was
twice as great as it had previously been
and before many years deep and thor
ough preparation of the land was the
rule in England, and it prevails to tins
time.
In South Carolina today the average
farmer breaks his land TO the depth Of
about one and n half to two inches, Icav-
ing the ground below that depth as hard
as a brick, and it can only be made solu-
bic by the use of the chemicals con-
taincd in the commercial fertilizers
controlled by the trusts. The remedy
is TO break the land TO Il depth of not
less than six inches and to pulvcrize 1t
thoroughly with a disc harrow. BY
this method The farmer will have not
less than twice as much soluble soil for
his plants TO feed on as by the old
method, and he will find, as stated in
the previous article, that the yield on
the land thus prepared, without ma.
nurc, will be equally as great, acre fol
acre, as on that prepared by the old
method and on which not less than two
hundred pounds of the best fertilizer
is used per acre.

EXPANSION VS.. IMPERIALISM.

The fight against Imperialism goes mer-
rily on, and that is quite as it should be.
The work Democratic papers are doing
along this line is most commemorate. 1t
should. however, be borne in mind that
there is a vast difference between ex-
pansion and imperialism,
The Democratic party has always
stood for expansion. tt has made this
country the greatest country in the
world. 1t has extended liberty and the
constitution from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The acquisition of the country
west OF the Mississippi was expansion,
and it was the work of the Democratic
party.
Expansion means extending the equal
justice Of American laws and the liberties
of American citizenship to other territory
and other people.
Imperialism means the governing of
conquered subjects by an arbitrary form
of government, without giving them the
equal justice of American laws and the
liberties of American citizenship.
Expansion is popular in this country
and always has been. To fight against
It is worse than useless. Imperialism is
absolutely repugnant to American ideas
of liberty, and it is doubtful whether
anybody could be found in this country
to advocate it. The verdict of the late
election does not mean the people have
Endorsed imperialism. It means that the
people were not convinced of the justice
of this charge as brought against the
Republican party. Time will tell.
AS far as the consent of the governed"
is, concerned, the attitude of the Demo-
cratic party on that question in the past
is significant BY the Louisiana purchase
and the conquest of New Mexico and
California we acquired great many new
subjects against their will and bitter pro-
test. But having brought them under the
American flag against their will, we gave
them all the liberties that the flag stands
for. Having made them Americans
against their will, we made them against
their viii share the same rights and
liberties that we ourselves possessed.
This has been good Democratic practice
in the past, the superstition evidently
being that American liberty and the JUS
tice of American laws were good enough
for anybody, whether he appreciated it or
not
As to the Philippines, it is true that our
military government there is arbitrary
and despotic, fully as much so as the
Russian government in Siberia or down
trodden Poland It therefore offers a
splendid subject for denunciaf on, but ii
must be remembered that the Philippines
are in a transition stage; that we are
there confronted by conditions. not by
theories, and that the measures applied
must meet the present case.
The people realize this and look at the
Philippine question in this light, but
they demand a policy which will uIti-
mately give to the Filipinos the same
rights and liberties which we ourselves
enjoy. IF the administration is success
full in inaugurating such policy, the
charge of Imperialism will always fail
fiat, but if the demands of the people in
this respect are not aeceded to, they will
make it mighty unpleasant for the party
in power.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-12-17
PRoTEcTIoN Ia GERMANY

In Germany there is a clamor for pro-
lection, just as there is in this country.
1t is the same kind of clamor, but with
several big differences.
Here it is the ancient and time honored
infant industries that cIamor for pro-
lection. They have grown so big that
common men walk like pigmies around
their feet, and they reach out and choke
off foreign competition in the furthest
parts of the. earth. but they still keep up
their same old wall for protection at
home, and the farmer and general con-
sumer have TO pay for it.
In Germany. the-clamor comes from
the big land owners that demand protec-
ton for agricultural products. In West
ern Germany most of the big manufac-
turing interests are located and the land
there is mainly in. the hands of small
farmers, who realize that their interests
and those of the cities are one But in
Eastern Germany the land is divided up
in immense estates owned by the de-
scendants of feudal lords, and they are
the ones that want protection.
Anybody knows that Germany's future
depends on the development of her man
ufacturing interests, and in order to COM
pete in the markets of the world she
must secure the necessities of life at the
lowest possible price for her working
men. To raise the price - foodstuffs
requires raise of wages, and that has
to be followed by a raise in price of
manufactured articles But in the mar
kets of the world, he alone sells that
sells cheapest. All of which shows how
important it is that the laboring classes
should be able to9get the necessities of
life al the lowest possible price.
But the German land baron does not
see it that way. He demands protect
i've tariff that would increase the price of
the iaboring mans bread and meat and
cause untold hardship. He would ruin
the manufacturers, the country, and
eventually himself, just to satisfy his inn
mediate greed. All of which goes to show,
as far as protection is concerned, the ma
ture of the brute is very much the same
everywhere.
