OCTOPUS AND LONE STAR.
The MOnopoIistic LeviRthan Needs
SqueIchinE In Texas.

Colonel Bryan is writing his notif-
cation speech with a silver pen and
blood red ink while insatiate greed is
raging in Texas, where he has often
ridden his hobby and Ais ostrich, says
the New York Sun. In spite of his
visits and his labors and in spite OF
the vlrtuous and terrible antitrust act
of Texas, the spirit of commercialism
and monopoly RACES there The octo-
pus has hitched himself to. the Lone
Star. The Texas wool growers have
conferred and cousplred. They have
agreed to hold the whole wool clip for
higher prices. liz is said that 100000
pounds of wool are thus kept out Of
the market, to the detriment of the
manufacturer and the consumer.
AS the Democratic party is pledged
to ''unceasiug warfare" against mo-
nopoly, this exhibition of the monopo-
liStic lust of gain in a Democratic
state is iueXpreSsibU sad. If Colonel
Bryan is TOO busy, where is the Hon.
James Stephen Hogg, and where is
the Hon. Cyclone Davis? Are the trusts
to be allowed to smite the producing
classes in the head and in the feet,
putting up the price of wooden stock
ings and wooden hats? In the cold
winters that may be looked for in a
gold standard empire, must the people
SILVER because a band of Texan pluto
Gratis has raised the price of oyercoats
and mittens?
No. The situation Is too grave to
be left to Hogg and Cyclone. Colonel
Bryan should come out of his library.
This Texas leviathan must be harpoon-
cd and flinched.

THE TWO HEADED CALF.
Democratic Platform Provides Two
Paramount Issues.

1--WE regard it Gmperialism) as the
paramount issue" So says the Kansas
City platform, and so say those Demo-
Gratis who are afraid of 16 to l. In
the same platform the Democrats ere
affirm and ndorse the principles of
the Democratic national platform
adopted ut Chicago in 1896" and they
"reiterate the demand made in that
platform for an American financial.
system
The demand made in the platform
of 1896, which is thus incorporated
into the platform of 1900, begins with
these words:
Recognizing that the money ques-
ton is paramount to all others at this
time"
Put into the platform of 1900 the
phrase -at this time means 1900 and
can mean nothing else.
1t is no great matter what the franz
ers of a platform say as to the impor-
lance of an issue if their assertion
is not accepted by the people, the
makers and the judges of issues, but
the fact remains that the Kansas City
platform declares that silver is the
paramount issue. 1t had TO do that to
satisfy Bryan and the Bryanites. The
assertion that Imperialism is the para
moun5 issue is meant for the weak
kneed brethren and the few but fierce
anti-imperialists outside of the Bryan
fold.

issues in the same platform is worthy

INCOME AND OUTGO.
Protection Always Gives More of the
Former Than the Latter.

In 1896. under Cleveland and free
trade, the total amount of money in
circulation in this country was about
$1,500,OO0, 600. Now, after three years
of Dingley law protection, the amount
of money in circulation exceeds $1,000
O00,000. And this increase is only a
fractional part of our real gain.
During the last two years alone the
balance of trade in our favor has been
more than twice the value of the in
crease of the amount of money in cir
culation The people of the country
wanted more money" Wen, they've
got ii, and they know how to get more
still and to keep on getting it. Under
a protective tariff we have never fail
ed. as Il nation, to make our income eX-
coed our outgo, ana we viii keep on do
ing it and will add TO the tremendous
amount that we have already piled up,
while at the same time we will, as in
the past. go on having more of the
comforts and Injuries of life than we
have ever had before,

eide Deliberately and Wisely.

eide Deliberately and Wisely.
James Creelman in a special report
Of the Republican national conven-
ton which he sent to the New York
Journal characterized the speech Of
Senator Wolcott as "a speech based
upon the theory that a man with a
full stomach ceases 10 think about
principles" The trouble with Mr..
Creellnan Is that he fails to take into
consideration the fact that one Of the
chief principles held by American civ
ilization Is that social and Industrial
conditions should be such that men
shall have fun stomachs.
Men with full stomachs are worth
more than men with empty stomachs.
They think better, they are better fit
ted and more ready to stand by their
principles than they would be when
suffering from the pangs Of hunger.
Therefore fundamental question to
be determined in deciding for or
against political party is whether or
not the policy it advocates will enable
the people of the United States to Sc
cure that with which to fill their
stomachs and to supply themselves
with the necessities of life.
This is why it is that the tariff issue
on which our material condition hinges
has been the most prominent issue be-
fore the American people since the be-
ginning of the government And we
have made the glorious record in the
worlds history, which we have made
because the American people have by
adherlng almost constantly to the poll
cy of protection, secured for them
selves such industrial conditions that
they have had all the material com
forts of life, have thus been relieved
from personal worry and discomfort
and have therefore been in a position
to give their best thought to the great
problems before the country.
Because the American people have,
thanks to the Dingley law, full stom-
achs this year, they will more wisely
decide questions Of national policy.
But Mr.. Creelman and the New York
Journal may rest assured that they
will not begin by voting for the policy
of free trade, which will give them
empty stomachs Instead of full ones.
