DEMOCRATIC DEPARTMENT..
BY o. S. COFFIN.
PROOF or EMPIRE,

The republican party Is continually
bowling In the ears Of the people that
prosperity comes TO all Of us through
the wise legislation and economy of
the party In power, There may be
fools silly enough to believe this, It
Is unfortunately true that men are
easily pursuAded that their party can
do no wrong, The great corpora
tlons have now completed and organ
lied themselves into immense trusts
embracing nearly every branch of bus
mess and this has been encouraged by
the party In power and two great
trust magnates who hold important
cabinet positions. They are epcour-
aged still more by the republican pro-
tectlve system, The late report Of
the Interstate commerce commission
shows that the power Of the trusts
and their shameful disregard Of pub
lie Interest and dishonesty that
would make u horse thief blush, No
investigation by the commission
would have been made had 1t not
been for n clash Of interest Of two or
more trusts, They were all pets Of
the republican party and contrlbut-
ors to party success,
The republican party believes II
TO conquer foreign territory
In anoher homisphre to teach them
the importance Of civil government,
Is this an example to guide them,
Read the report Of the commission In
part aS follows; "Thc facts therein
developed are Of such character
that no thoughtful person can con-
template them with indifference
That the leading tralc olIclals Of
many Of the prominent railway lines
men occupying high positions and
with the most important du-
ties, should deliberately violate the
statute law Of the land, and in some
cases agree with each other to do so;
that 1t should be thought by them
necessary to destroy vouchers and to
so manipulate bookkeeping as to OBJ
llterate evidence Of the transactions:
that hundreds Of thousands of dollars
should be paid in unlawful rebates to
a few great packing houses; that the
business Of railroad transportation
should to such an extent be conducted
in open disregard Of the law, must be
and offensive to all right
persons, Equally startling
lt least is the fact that the owners
Df these packing houses, men whose
names are known throughout the COM
mercia world, should seemingly be
eager to augment their gains with
the enormous amounts Of these re-
bates which they receive in plain de-
Iiancc Of a federal statute"

Statistics prove that the United

BERLIN, Jan. 222.-During the debate on
the estimates of the Chancellor'S Depart
meut in the Reichstag to-day, the linz
peral Chancellor, Count Won BueFow. re-
ferred TO the pleasant relations between
Germany and the United States and to
the approaching visit of Prince Henry,
Of Prussia.
The Chancellor found his opportunity
in the remarks OF DR.. Barth, Ieauer or
the Freissinige party, who. in discussing
the budget, said:
II want to touch upon the political
relations between Germany and this
United States, which are traditionaiiy
friendly in character. One hindrance to
the promotion of this friendship is tha
protectionsm now prevailing in Germany.
It is pleasant, on the ot1er hand, to see
that the projected visit OF IL German
Prince TO the United States has disclosed
the existance of a large fund of good will
and cordiality among the American peo-
pie for Germany. We recognize ir tlls
union not merely a great and economic.
calIy effective community, but We know
that the achievements of the On1te6
States in other fields, such as civilization
and culture are very important. inc
cultivation of the friendship of the two
countries is a thing to be grateful for.

House-namely: That we are filed with
an earnest desire to maintain. on basis
of perfect reciprocity and mutual appre-
citation tho traditional good relations
which have always existed between our
selves and the United States. The yoy-
age of Prince Henry to the United States
is an expression of those good relations.
and I am convinced his reception wilt
be in accord with the friendly feelings the
two great nations have for oue another"
