SILLY SEASON NOT ENDED.

That the summer silly season is not
yet over can hardly account for the
continuance OF something more than
humor In the Democratic campaigning
tactics this year. 1t was funny enough
to have Pitchfork Tillman. who has
openly advocated in the pas. the rul-
ing OF South Carolina negroes without
their consent. write the consent of
the governed" plank at Kansas City
and for Van wyck. the ice trust man
Of New York to writo the antitrust
plank. But Tammany Hall. which
controlled the recent New York Demo-
cratic state conventin without any ap-
parently mirthful intent. has done still
more funny things. 1t has put up for
governor on an anti-expansion plat
form. a man whose only public utter
ance on the subject had been an en-
dorsement of President. .McKinley's ex-
pansion policy in the Philippines. 1t
inserted plank In the platform de-
nouncing the ice trust. In which the
Tammany leaders were stockholders
1t inserted a plank denouncing the
Ramapo s700. 900 900 steal which Tam
many leaders had planned and tried
to consummRte for their own immoral
gain.

In 17s9 George Washington was ar

From 1900 to 1908 Jefferson was the

HE DOES NOT KNOW.
What the American Flag Means at
Home and Abroad.

What the American Flag Means Mt
Home and Abroad.
In his speech mt Auburn, Nebraska.
on Wednesday last, Mr.. Bryan. the
Democratic candidate for president.
spoke like a man without country. Il
want" said he, ''the American flag to
come down from the Philippine is
lands;" and, he continued, shallow but
conscious that this platform put him
in need of self-defense, '.if the flag can
not be hauled down now, how are you
going to bring the American troops
back from Pekin?' He even argued
that "the Republican President prom
ised to haul down the flag in Cuba"
That is to say, the Stars and Stripes
when floating over territory of the
United States is no more to Bryan than
when 1t is raised incidentally in foreign
countries.
The American flag flies peacefully
over the United States consulates the
world over. 1t has lately been carried
to Pekin by an expedition sent to res
cue the American minister, as 1t has
been carried In hostility in other coun-
tries in China, time and again. 1t is

our troops there, promised, not rs
Bryan says, by the President, but by
the Congress of the United States,
spontaneous resolve to establish an in
dependent government in Cuba WINS
followed by the Senate's legal incorpor-
alton of Porto Rico, Guam. the Philip
pines and other islands within Ameri-
can sovereignty. But under none OF
these circumstances it is now by the
law of nations Ia the Philippines, the
emblem of our national sovereignty.
To the anti-imperialist prophet there
fore the Stars and Stripes convey no
meaning, and such man is n man
without country. He doesn't know
what his country is. He doesn't under.
stand the meaning of its flag. He is
without the feeling of the patriot. He
is the last man in the Union to be

REASON FOR FARM PROSPER.
lTY.

Between July 2. 1896. the date OF Mr..
Bryan's first nomination for the presI.
dency. and July 6. 1900. the date OF his
nomination this year. the price OF ten
OF the principal farm products in
creased ass per cent. There was not
single decrease In price OF these arti-
cles which include wheat. corn. oats.
lard. mess pork. beef. cotton. wool. hay
or butter
Against this the increase OF the arti-
cles bought by farmers was only 10
per cent There was an actual de-
crease In the price of sugar and tea.
and small increases in the price OF
rice. sisal. iron. petroleum. tinplate.
leather. sugar and cotton cloth.
In every case n bushel Of wheat will
buy more today than 1t would four
years ago.
These statements are all ofiicinl and
can be verified from the public records.
The assertions OF the Democrats and
Mr.. Bryan four years ago that Nc
Kiniey's election would bring misery.
have In every case been disproved.
The farmers know the difference be-
tween distress and prosperity. and
they are not likely to vote to bring
about that old condition.

The Tammany Boss Puts Up s2,OOO.OOO
to buy New York's Federal Patronage
and a Cabinet Seat for Senator Murphy.
New York, Sept. 25.-The Times-Her-
aid correspondent is able to state au-
thoritatively and of his own knowledge
the following facts concerning this bar
gain which Mr.. Stone, representing
Mr.. Bryan, made with Mr.. Croker:
/. The deal was first discussed in
detail between Mr.. Croker and William
]. Stone when the latter spent a week
or ten days in New York month ago.
2. Mr.. Stone reported Mr.. Croker's
terms to Mr.. Bryan at n meeting in
Chicago attended by Chairman Jones
and Committeeman Johnson and Cam
pau.
3. Upon his return to this city with
Mr.. Bryan's approval Of the deal Mr..
Stone opened national headquarters
here and Mr.. Croker began to raise n
campaign fund and talk for Mr.. Bryan.
4. Mr.. Croker has promised to carry
New York for Mr.. Bryan. To do 1t he
has agreed to raise a campaign fund
of $2,O00,0OO, and he has promised to
give 100000 in cash to the Democratic
national committee.
s. on his side, Mr.. Croker is to re-
ceive the control of all federal patron
age in New York City, and he has the
promise of the secretaryship OF the
navy for his bosom friend, former Sen.
ator Murphy, in the event of Mr.. Bry-
ans election.
@. The sole cause of Mr.. Croker's
recent zeal for Mr.. Bryan's election Is
the promise he has received of federal
patronage in case Of the latter's elec-
ton.
If man knew nothing of the facts
In the deal between Messrs. Croker and
Bryan he would nevertheless have
little difficulty In making up his mind
about the existence of such deal from
the change that has come over the po-
litical situation here in the last few
weeks

eLAINE's STORY ABOUT COIN.
ACE.

James G. Blaine told story that
he said was the best thing he got in
Iowa. where the greenback passion
aourishcd for some time, and was ex-
plotted with singular intensity. A
nnancier of fantastic methods was
leaning back in his chair in a grocery
and talking. as he believed. conserva-
lively. He said:
II do not agree to It that we want
something that Is worthless to make
money out of. ! think we ought to
make 1t out of gold. But agree with
you that it's the stamp that makes
the money--it's the United States
stamp, and 1t isn't anything else. 1
want gold for money. but there's no
use OF having a great big chunk of
gold to make twenty-dollar piece.
Just take bit OF wafer Of gold ana
put the stamp on 1t. the United States
stamp for 500 and 1t is $40. It's gold
money, too. and it's got the American
eagle on It"
II agree with you. only you don't go
tar enough. You state the great prin-
riple correctly. 1t ought to be applied
to other things. What's the use OF
putting 1876 ponds IN barrel Of flour
tell you II there isn't more than a
quart OF -four and you put the stamp
on It, on the package of 1t. United
States stamp. with the American eagle,
that II is a barrel of fiour-Tll swear
to It. It is barrel OF four!'
Citizen No. ! exclaimed But look
here. you are talking like blank
