MoKIRIey and silver.

To read the Republican organs
one would think that Mr.. McKin-
ley had ever been a gold standard
man. But as late as 500 he wrote
to Mr.. +. S. Perkins "I have al.
ways been in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage Of the silver
product of tue United States, and
have so voted on at least two oc-
casions during the time l have
been in public life. With me
political and economic questions
are a convistion." Yet this is the
Mckinley who now declares for
the gold standard.
Still later, on June IS. 1898, he
signed bill authorizing the COIN
age OF million and a halt silver
dollars per month. Under that
law nearly sixty million silver dol
lars have been coined at the ratio
Of I6 10 1, which is the legal ratio
established in 1884 and never at
tempted to be changed. Now here
is the Republican party coming
silver dollars at the ratio OF 16 to
I, which is the established legal
ratio, and has been Tor over halt a
century, and yet raising a howl
against that ratio. If that ratio
was wrong why did they not
change it. Ii silver is a disturbing
element in our finances why is Mr..
Mckinley coming at the rate of a
million and a half month,
In every platform Of the Repub-
lican party till the last they de
clared for bimetallism. Were they
always wrong till the last time, or
is gold monometallism simply an
other appendage of imperialism.
AS matter of fact the money
question is not a practical issue in
this election, as the Senate is safe
against silver Tor six years, and so
will the House OF Representatives
probably be. We only refer to the
subject to show the gross incom-
potency of the Republican party
and its chameleon-like nominee,
A party and a man which changes

tions are either dishonest or in
capable, and in either case shou

Mckinley

once said that where the flag floats
let no man haul it down. Why
then did he haul it down in Alaska
last week. Was 1t at the behest OF
England that he ceded the richest
territory and gold mines in that
sectiou7 O! what hypocrite.
The very territory turned over
to England by Mckinley was
leased from Russia for a term Of
twenty years by the Hudson Bay
Company, Of Canada, an English
concern, long previous to the pur-
chase Of Alaska by the United
States. This lease was an ackn owl
edgment that the land did not be-
long to England In the face OF
this contract, and Fifty years later,
William Mckinley presents to
Great Britain the land which that
kingdom had previously leased
from Russia.
Both England and Canada had
recognized the Russian boundary
between Canada and Alaska for
forty years before the purchase Of
that territory by the United States.
England now claims the laud we
bought from Russia, and our pat
riotic President hauls down our
flag and evacuates without a word.
What may we expect next7 The
cession Of counties along the St. |
Lawrence, or a slice off Montana
or Dakota2
We are not surprised at McKin-
ley's action. Il is in line with his
policy in other directions. We
simply desire to lay the matter be
fore the people-his subjects

policy continues, the carrying out
OF which requires an expenditure
for military purposes alone OF
500. 900, 900 a year, is more than
the Republicans have been able to
show German voters. And II we
are to embark in a career Of con-
quest in China, a reduction OF war
taxes will be an impossibility. IT
they are not increased it will be a
miracle.
Happily, the situation in China
is changing Tor the better, and 1t IS
possible that no increase OF our
military establishment will be
necessary. Happily also, the
foresight Of Admiral Kempt in re-
fusing to take part in the attack
upon the Chinese forts leaves US
an opening to withdraw from the
trap into which British diplomacy
led US, which would have necessl'
tated a fearful loss OF life and enor-
nous expenditures of money,
which could only have been raised
by a new tax levy. The lesson OF
all this, and it is a lesson which
the Germans have learned, is, that
il we would escape the dangers
into which the Republican policy
is leading US, if we would rid our
selves Of some at least OF our heavy
tax burdens, if we would live al
peace, seeking only Legitimate
trade and honest friendship with
all nations, and entangling ALI
anees with none, we must displace
from power the party OF imperial
ism and militarism. and all the
evils that follow in their train,
This is one way-and the only way
in which relief will come, and
the Germans we'll know it.

Roosevelt's slurs on Democracy.

RoOseYelt's Slurs on Dem ocracy.
Theodore Roosevelt's blunder
ing attack on the bravery Of Dem
ocrats IN his speech Of July y at
St. Paul, when he said, They (the
men OF the Democratic partY)
stand for lawlessness and disorder,
for dishonesty and dishonor, for
license and disaster at home and
cowardly shrinking from duty
abroad" has aroused indignation
throughout the country. The
character Of the speech is such
that Democrats can hardly believe
it. These words, however, appear
in the authorized copies OF the
speech given out at St. Paul, and
in no way may they be repudiated
bV their author.
The records OF Democrats in the
Spanish war and in The struggle
between North and South show
obviously that political faith plays
no part in the making OF heroes.
In the Spanish war the names oil
such warriors as SchIey, Dewey,
Lawton. Fitzhugh Lee, Hobson,
Victor Blue, Hare, Joe Wheeler,
Chanler and Bagley attest to the
honor O. Democracy in upholding
the sanctity OF the American flag
and today, on the firing line al
Tien Tsin, and in the Philippines
are countless Democrats fighting
shoulder to shoulder with Repub.
licans, but their comrades, it is
pointed out, have not slurred them
for their politics.

trades union or grild, which stretches
throughout the empire. If a few of these
cooks were taught how to prepare the pro-
duct for the public restaurants, the food
might soon become popular. 1t could be
also given out through the famine kitchens
and charitable restaurants. which at such
times are often established by the Chinese,
and in this way might get Il foothold which
would be permanent
So far cur people have not appreciated
this market. Some of the Chinese have
tried to get corn and failed. 1t was only
last year that one of them, according to john
Fowler, the United States consul at Che
foo, sent an order to the United States for
10000 bushels of our corn. He offered to
pay Sl5,0,D dollars in gold for it provided
1t was delivered IN ten weeks, but notwith-
standing this, Consul Fowler could not find
an American who would take the order.
He cabled the offer to the State Depart
ment at Washington, but got no reply.
Either the State Department could not
find an American who cared to sell GO, 900
is more likely, it did not think the matter
worth notice In closing his report to the
department. Consul Fowler said
1T seemed no one wanted to sell corn, vet
this offer was for fifteen hundred tons. and
if carried through It would have opened up
market of twenty-nine million people
who subsist on that article Of diet en-
tirey."
Consul Fowler says that the people of
Shantung know all about corn. They raise
"a great deal, but there was a failure of
crops last year and the present crop is
short Chinese shelled corn in 1899 was
one-thrd rubbish, and still it was bringing
enough to lead to this offer of 81 % a bush
el for fifteen hundred tons Of an article
the merchants had not seen. Two other
large orders We're received at the same
time. and that part Of China was appar-
entity ready for American corn. The State
Department and the Agricultural Depart
ment should certainly look into the present
situation and our American shippers may
be able to work 1t at n profit.
The matter IS not small one. If the
foreign demand for corn should be so great
as TO raise the price cents per buShel it
would increase the annual value of the
corn crop of the United States by the euor-
nous amount of S1oo eniGtEp
An attempt was made few years ago to
introduce our corn in Europe. 1t failed
largely through the preiudices of the Ger
mans and others against a change of diet
There Will be no such prejudice in China.
