the efforts of the democratic members
to work something mischievous into a
law without being noticed.
~
News of the republican victory in
Oregon has been received here with the
greatest qualification. Notwithstand-
ing the recent stumping tour of that
state by Mr.. Bryan, the result shows
that the people of the Pacific coast are
not going to be led away this year by
mere oratory, but that they are study
ing facts and conditions for themselves
and realize that prosperity is better
than theory, and that good times and
plenty of work are far more substantial
than discontent and idleness.
According to statement by the war
department the government has spent
upwards of $4,000, 900 for the transpor-
tation by sea of men, animals and sup
plies to the Philippine islands. There
has been saving to the government of
more than S9,000,O0O through owning
its own transports.
n
That the New York democrats, who
are supporting Mr.. Bryan, have sup.
pressed in their state convention the
Chicago platform is not surprising to
people in Washington. Of course the
democrats stick to their free trade
policy by demanding free trade with
Porto Rico. which would be simply an
entering wedge for the establishment
of that principle in larger degree,
thus renewing the destructive efforts of
the Wilson tariff The condemnation
of trusts and monopolies is amusing,
considering that the democrats in con-
gross refused to vote for an amendment
to the constitution which would enable
congress to properly legislate in that
direction.
The Washington Post, in an able
editorial, contrasts the surplus of
almost three hundred million dollars in
the United States treasury at the
present time, with the balance four
years ago which was the result of bond
issues in time of peace. 1t also shows
that Notwithstanding the heavy war ex-
penses that have been, and are being
incurred, the surplus for this fiscal
year will amount 10 about $50, 900, 600 as
compared with the deficit of nearly $780,
O0O,O 900 four years ago. 1t is pointed
out that this is not the result of the war
taxes alone, because, comparing the
month of May this year with May, 1896,
there was an increase of almost Sc, $780,.
600 this year in receipts from customs
alone.
The people of the United States are
paying 81, 900, 000a day for tropical pro-
ducts used in American manufactures,
or for food and drink. Most of the
articles can be produced in more or
less degree in the islands which have
recently come into closer relationship
with the United States. These articles
comprise sugar, coffee, silk, rubber,
fibres, fruits and nuts, tobacco tea,
cotton, gums, cocoa, spices, rice.
cabinet and dye woods, liquorice root,
indigo, cork wood, ivory, sponges, etc.
AS our island possessions begin to de-
velOp under American administration
we shall procure more of such articles
from those sources, and in return for
our purchases the people of the islands
will buy more of the products of our
farms and factories.

Young Men in Politics.

Major Charles Dick of the republican
national committee evidently does not
share in the belief that young men should
keep out of politics. Instead he gives some
very practical advice to young men in and
about politics in an interview in the Phila.
delphia North American. He says:
This Is an era Of the young man In i'm
portaut affairs of life. am not one OF
those who would discourage the young man
in politics. Politics is as promising field
to the young man as any other. Nor sm
one of those who believe that men in pro-
fessional or business life should |eschew
politics. Every man owes 1t as duty &c
his 60 sernment to devote rs much time add
thought to public affairs as Is possible.
