WHY BETTER TIMES Vail

The Republican press, which as u rule
has it's policy laid down on strict lines by
the political bureau conducted by Mar k
Hanna, is boasting OF the increased for
eign commerce during the past three
years and crediting it to the wise policy
of President Mckinley's administration
This buncombe may catch a few but it
never will have any effect on the think
ing classes and will be looked upon as
claptrap to bolster up a weak cause.
Those who have studied the situation
know that any amount of legislation will
not force the people OF Europe, Asia and
Africa to take what we want to sell I'M
less they require ii and have the price to
pay for it.
Our foreign demand has been greater
OF late because the world is recovering
from the great panic which was insug-
urated with the failure OF Barring Bros,
and which upset financial conditions
throughout the globe. Then we had
great crops at time when there was a
famine and shortage in other parts of
the globe which resulted in a remunera-
tive market for our breadstuffs and other
products. Then came shutting off of
foreign competition through the working
of the Dingley tariff law, which built up
great wealth for the manufacturers and
caused apparent prosperity to the masses
which is to be paid for in the future.
Manufacturers were permitted to charge
home consumers more and were thus en-
abled to sell at lower prices abroad
With all of these conditions nothing
could result but largely increased ex-
port trade, and the only legislation that
operated to give il was the Dingley law,
which empowered manufacturers to lew
greater tribute upon American con.
sumers, thus swelling the profits at
home to an extent that enabled them to
enter the foreign markets in competition
with the manufacturers OF the world.
American consumers paid dearly for the
increase in our export trade and the
protected manufacturers have reaped a
rich profit.

The third demand has been made on
the Sultan of Turkey for the sos, 900 in
debtedness to this country, growing out
OF the Armenian troubles, and still he
remains passive. although one of our
low-grade war-ships has been sent to
the Mediterranean, evidently for pur.
poses of intimidation. The sultan says
nothing and perhaps it is for this and
similar reasons that the nation is referred
to as the Unspeakable Turks. 1t might
be good idea to take the account out in
Turkish baths. That would be an easy
solution of matter that is giving Mr.
Mckinley's administration considerable

THE PEOPLE MUST AWAKE.

The well known Wall street operator,
James Il. Keene, who contributed S40,-
600 to the Mckinley campaign fund in
1896, is now ready 10 help Bryan into
office. Four years ago he supported Nc
Kinley because he feared the conse
quences OF the country going to the sill
yer standard, but he is convinced that
there are now greater dangers threaten
ing the republic than the 'debasing" OF
its currency. In a recent interview in
New York he said
The people OF this country must
arouse themselves. The coming election
is Of more Importance, from the stand
point of pure and true Americanism,
than any that has TRANSFERRED since the
second election of Lincoln. Money is in
the saddle; it is riding down the in
situations OF this country with conf
dent nsolence that tells of its firm belief
in its own invincibilty. 1t is running
the government today in its every
branch and arm.
If moneys power in molding public
affairs goes forward for four years more as
it has for the four years past the name
of American liberty will only be worth a
recollection as a matter Of history.
Money is pressing the people backward
step by step. What is to be the end? If
it goes on there are. as matters trend, but
two solutions. One 5 socialism and the
other is revolution The American peo-
pile must defend themselves from money
just as they once guarded their forest
frontiers from the sayages. Unless thew
come solidly shoulder to shoulder for
their rights and come at once. Bunker
Hill will have been blunder, Yorktown
a mistake.

In his early youth he followed the trade

In those early days Mr.. Kalas had
many earnest and enthusiastic friends.
and. acting on the advice of the best of
these, he joined the police department
June 3. 1887. His promotion. unlike
that of many other officers, came not
too rapidly. and was not the result of
outside Influence. 1t was five years
after his appointment on the force that
he was made sergeant. This promotion
was made July !. 1892, and was the re-
ward of good work. He was made
lieutenant In July, 1897, and became in

rcc,ly behind Lieutenant Stanton's
command, the one that suffered most
from the bomb. Collcran's uniform

In 1880 he was made sergeant At Hin

Colleran ordered his men 10 shoot in the

the mob dispersed and did not come to-

under Klpley In June, 1897, and later
in the same year captain in charge at

good as the detective bureau ever

When Mr.. Schuettler was transferred to

work in this line for II year, and the
way he performed his duties during
this trying period Is u matter of record
Mr. Schuettler was then made sergeant
at Harrison Street Police Station.
Shortly after this he was made lieuten-
ant ut Larrubee Street Station. When
Dr. Cronin was murdered Lieutenant
Schucttler was made acting captain at
full charge of the CrOnin case. The
good work accomplished in this case
gave Acting Captain Schuettler Il
worldwide reputation, and the facts
are still fresh in the minds of our read
crs. During the period Of his service as
Il detective at Webster Avenue Station,
and while NJ detective headquarters in
the City Hall, Schucttler arrested and
took into the tolls many burglars ana
desperate crooks, who were sent to
Joliet. These cases are n matter of
record, and too numerous to mention.
Later on Mr.. Schuettler was, for con-
tlnued merltOrlOus service, promoted TO
a captaIncy by the late Mayor Dewitt
&. Cregler, AT headquarters. After the
annexation of Lake View to Chicago
police district and Captain Schuettlcr
was placed in charge as commanding

justly proud of the record made by
