mento and promise Of an extra session
of Congress is brandishing a torch to
kindle wars, and offers premium for
the daily assaults in the Philippines
upon American soldiers who are, by
Mr.. Bryan'S fatal necessities of futile
policy, presented as the instruments of
Il ruthless despotism and that we are
warning in the Philippines to change
the way of our republicanism and char
acter of our government and make it
imperialistic. Bryan's extra session,
believe, promises, if the November cleo
ton approves it. more war and anarchy
after Mr.. Bryan's election, and guerrilla
warfare until that time The session
to be held by Mr.. Bryan would be an
open door," not to commerce in the
Orient, but to European intervention in
the Philippines. 1t seems a surprise
that Mr. Bryan should have risked his
case on Il state of facts in the Philip
pines and did not know what it was.
He has read PettigreW's Senatorial in
terjections of irrelevancy into the Rec
ord, and has accepted the sinister COM
pilatiOn as a veritab bic history.
Mr.. Bryan has broken himself by
that blunder.

Cold Storage Meats.

Meats frozen and kept in cold storage
for long periods do not undergo organic
changes in the ordinary sense-that is,
they do not putrefy. soften or smell bad
but they certainly do deteriorate in some
intangible way. After certain time
frozen meat loses some life principle es-
sential to it's nourshing quality. Such
meat lacks flavor; it is not we'll digested
or assimilated.

Are Not Traitors Now.

'.They are branded as traitors. They

Jennings Bryan at Richmond, Va. in
1896. And how he fawns and caresses

Easy to Understand.

There are some people who cannot
understand why stocks went down
when Bryan was nominated four years
There was really some danger that he
might be elected four years ago, and
there is not a particle of suspicion even
that he will do any such thing now.

Colorado Will Come Back.

In 1894 Colorado mined lot Of silver.
and only $9,491,514 in gold and was
crazy for Bryan and 16 to /. In 1898
she mined gold to the value of $23, 1885,
800, and will unquestionably come back
to the Republican column, where she
belongs. Colorado has become a great
manufacturing State and has no use
for party which proposes to draw the
fires from her furnaces.-Sa Francisco

Demagogue and Anarchist.

Mr.. Bryan says the present campaign
''i;s contest between Democracy on the
one hand and plutocracy on the other"
This is the talk of a demagOgue who is
an anarchist at heart. There are as
many capitalists in the Democratic
party as there are in the Republican,
and as many Republican workingmen
as Democratic.-Inda Journal.

Fierce Battle with Turtle.

John Fisher of Romney, w. Va, had
some outlines stretched across the Po-
tomac and went to lift them in Il row
boat. When he attempted to land a very
large turtle the hook broke and the turtle
fell into the boat and at once attacked
Fisher. The latter fought desperately
with his paddle, when the turtle finally
seized him by the leg and they both
landed in the river. Fisher narrowly cs-
capped drowning, and blood poisoning is

Youuc's Standard Work.

protection and Progress, by John
z. Young. is a work just from the press
of Rand, McNally & CO., New York and
Chicago. The title may suggest an
argument in reply to Henry George, but
the work is not directly controversial in
character and only indirectly touches
on any of Georges themes. 1t is a
new and valuable study of the economic
basis of the American protective tariff
system by a student whose marked
ability for original Investigations and
luminous discussion Of economic ques-
tons was demonstrated in his work on
''rhe Manufacturing Industries of
Japan'' and 'Bi-Metallism or Mono
Metalism.' This work is of greater
importance and interest than either of
those. and. indeed, marks a distinct adj
vance in the discussion of the question
of protection versus free trade. A strik-
inc feature is the chapter showing
trusts and monopolies to be the natural
outgrowth of free trade. Equally sue
cessfully in attacking another delusion
the author shows the wretched blunder
Of economic theories which persistently
look to the interest of the consumer
and overlook those of the producer.

PORTO RICO TRADE GROWING.
In Spite of the Walls of the Demo
Gratis the Island Is Bri .h teIling.

In Spite of the Walls of the Demo-
Gratis the Island Is Frightening.
Commerce between the United States
and Porto Rico has developed rapidly
since the new act went into effect on
May /, 1900. Imports into the United
States from that island have increased
so per cent over those of one year ago
and are three times as great as the
average when Porto Rico was Spanish
territory, while exports to the island
have increased nearly $50 per cent over
one year ago, and al" nearly five times
as much as the average when Porto
Rico was Spanish territory. During
the month of July, whose figures have
just been completed by the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics, the exports from
the United States to the island were
1929, 729, against $206,46 in July, 1899,
and $15G296 in July, 1897 Taking the
entire three months i'll which the new
act has been in operation, May, June
and July, the exports to the island were
S2,117,207, against $S73,453 in the cor
responding months of 1899, S4S5.279 in
the corresponding months of 1897. and
$685. 20 in the corresponding months
of is. On the import side the figures
for July, 1900, were $640,023, against
$44S,267 in July, 1899, $145,273 i'll 1897,
and 500, $40 in July, 1896.
1t is apparent therefore, from an eX-
animation of these figures that imports
from Porto Rico in the three months
operation of the new law are fully 80
per cent i'll excess of those for the cor
responding months of 1899, when the
island was under the American flag,
but the former tariff relations yet I'M
affected, while they are nearly three
times as much as in the corresponding
months of the closing years of Spanish
control Of the island.
The following shows the commerce
between the United States and the ISL
and Of Porto Rico in May, June and
July of each year from 1896 to and in
Guiding the year 1900, and enables
cOmDarisOn of the trade of the first
three months under the new law with
the corresponding months of each year
in the term covered. No comparison is
made with 1898, owing to the fact that
the hostiIities in existence during June,
July and August of that year would
make the comparison an unfair one.

DIES DIVISION AT DE VETS
> DORP, NEAR WEPENER.

London, April 2O.-A deluge of rain,
lasting ten days, has brought the
operations in the southeastern part of
the Free State almost to a standstill.
The creeks have become roaring rivers
and the roads are streams of mud.
A singular message, dated Bloem-
fontein, April 10, 1885 a. m, and be-
ginning Via Press Censor, Bloemfon-
tein," reports an exchange of shots in
the direction of De Vets Dorp, where
the Beers are said to be c0ncentrat-
ing "after their withdrawal from
Wepener."
There is nothing else to indicate that
the investment of Wepener has been
abandoned by the Beers.
Notwithstanding the rain, however,
the British have made some progress,
as De Vets Dorp has been occupied
by them, by the advance of Gen.
Rundle's division. De Vets Dorp is
about "a miles from Wepener.
An obscure message from Aliwal
