OUR TRADE BY RIGHTS

III Is to be noted that wherever there
mas peen an improvement in Transports
ilon facilities between the United States
and the Latin-American countries of
iate years marked increase in trade
mas promptly followed. in some eases
amounting to a gain of 100 per cent
within twelve months.
The teaching of this fact is obvious.
The trade of the West Indies and of
Mexico and the South American Con-
'nent Will come to the United States in
almost its full volume when proper adj
vantage of this country's situation is
taken by American merchants and the
great traffic corporations New steam
snip lines and the improvement of rail-
ROAD connections wherever possible is
all That is necessary to insure this gain
IL Is pleasantly apparent that there is
proper American appreciation of this
truth now being shown. Great atten.
ton is now devoted to the problem of
transportation between The United
states and the n-American conn
tries. The next ten years will witness a.
tremendous amount of railway construc-
tlon and Il vast development of ocean
transportation facilities. They will also
logically and inevitably witness cor
responding increase of trade.

minutes of time Though asked to make an

not yet working as we'll as he wanted. The
weather was cloudy which may have in

During the trip NJ Santos Dumont cut

crowd warmly cheered NJ Santos Dumont
at the start and on his descent his friends
crowded around him and warmly congrat-
ulated him upon his success.

descended at 4:55 p. m. The exhibition.

that he did not go around the Eiffel tower
though he had announced his intention Of
attempting that feat
An hour later heavy rain squall swept
over the Eiffel tower and the Bots, which
justified the prudence Of NJ. Santos Dumont
in declining the make a further ascension

When the balloon was maneuvering over
the Longchamps race course smoke was

HAMILTON'S AMERICAN1sM.

Alexander Hamilton. whose unameri-
can theories of government are now be-
ing advocated by the McKinleyites as Il
substitute for the teachings of Thomas
Jefferson, under which the United States
nave advanced to first place as world
power. would have established a Fed
eral monarchy in place of the present
Republic if his will had prevailed at the
time of this Governments foundation.
Hamilton was infatuated with every
tnlng English. He was one of the first
OF the brood of American Anglomanacs
now so overwhelmingly in evidence in
the Republican party. He had no use
Tor any but rich man, and never for
Il moment subscribed to the American
IDEA OF popular government as urged by
JEFFERSON and eulogized by Lincoln The
American Constitution. under the terms
OF which popular government was made
possible, was not congenial to him. He
was not in sympathy with the Ameri-
can creed of liberty and equal rights.
This man, who believed and declared
me British Government of his day to
be the best Government known to man,
the Republican party is now euloszins
as having held the soundest and truest
American views of government and of
national policy.
1t is natural, however. that NcKin-
leyism should worship Alexander Hamil-
ton. Latter-day federalism stands for
exactly what Hamilton represented
serviiity to England, government of the
common people by privileged caste
the Capitalization of power in the hands
OF the President, the weakening Of the
States. a big standing army, the mo-
lnarchlcal idea in home and foreign poll
clcs. Hamilton would have been the
willing tool OF the trusts to-day, Just as
Is Mckinley. He would have believed
in 'prepetuating" the trust dominance
in Our governmental affairs. just as does
Mark Hanna. He would have been a
ruthless imperialist, just as are all the
modern Republican bosses.
The American people are the worlds
greatest nation to-day because they have
held to Jefferson's teachings. They
would be living under monarchy to.
day il Hamilton had prevailed over JEFF
ferson. They do not crave Hamiltonism.
1t is good for the country that McKin-
leyism is coming out into the open in
testifying to its faith in Halnilton's bo-
gus Americanism. The people will know
Just how to deal with the party of
Hamilton.

NOTHING BUT THE BEST.

Rear Admiral Bradford, U. S. n, has
the navy in convincing the Naval Board
of Construction that the new armored
cruisers now about to be built should
be at least equal in tonnage displace-
ment to foreign warships of the same
class.
sition will appeal to the popular mind.
The reason for building new cruisers
and battleships is the maintenance of
the American Navy on an adequately
formidable footing. An armored cruiser
of 11,000 tons displacement, as was
originally intended for our new cruisers,
would not have an even chance against
the 14,OO0-ton armored cruisers Of the
English and other foreign navies. Then
why waste millions of dollars building
warships known from the beginning to
be inferior?
The American people will heartily
commend Admiral Bradford for his sen.
sible stand in this matter. They do not
begrudge one dollar of the millions ex.
pended ON the American Navy. All
they ask is that it be ftly maintained
as first-class navy, able to compel
recognition Of our sea power. The Naval
Board Of Construction has acted wise.
" in yielding to Admiral Bradford,s
arguments. Every new ship added to
the navy should be the best Of its class
to date,

INDICTING IT'S OWN.

In It's partisan eagerness to prejudice
the people of Missouri against the State
Democracy by misrepresenting the
State School Fund issue the Globe-Dem-
ocrat characterizes the investment of
the School Fund in State certificates of
Indebtedness as "a penitentiary offense'
and declares that those responsible for
the investment are subject to punish
ment lin the manner prescribed for
stealing property of the kind or the
value Of the articles SO embezzled, con-
verted, taken or secreted.'
This is serious Indictment against
such eminent Missouri Republicans as
Bittinger, Pettijohn. Tubbs, Tatum and
Judge Spencer, the Globe Democrat
seeming to forget that these gentlemen
are necessarily included in its charge of
the criminal mishandling of the State
School Fund. When the Republican
party had control of the House in 1895
the present form of investment of the
Fund in State certificates of indebted
ness was distinctly confirmed by the
Republican legislative majority. Bittin-
ger, Pettijohn, Tubbs, Tatum, Judge
Spencer and other leading Republicans
testified to the fact that they believed
the investment Of the Fund in State
certificates Of indebtdness to be wise,
liberal and secure investment.
If the Globe-Democrat is correct in it's
statement, otherwise a most reckless
and libelous statement, that this invest
ment constitutes penitentiary offense
these eminent Republicans are in an
awkward position. 1t would be interest
ing to hear from them at such a crisis.
Their party organ has preferred charges
against them which demand an answer.
1t is likely that Judge Spencer, for in
stance, will not relish being placed un-
der such an Indictment as that brought
by the Globe-Democrat. 1t is also like
ly that Judge Spencer considered the
situation very carefully from the legal
point Of view before acting favorably
on the certificate of Indebtedness invest
ment when it was entirely possible for
his party to force change in that form
OF Investment Of the State School
Fund.
Judge Spencer and the other distin-
guished Republicans named should at the
least demonstrate with the Globe-Demo-
crat for placing them in the category Of
criminals liable to terms in the Peni-
Tertiary. 1t may easily be understood
that the Globe would like to pinch
the entire Democratic party in Missouri
and slap it into Jail, seeing no other
means Of gaining a Republican victory
In the State. But it should try to find
some "penitentiary offense" for which
Democrats alone are to be brought to a
reckoning. In the matter Of the State
School Fund it has implicated Missouri
Republicans up to their necks.
