who had much greater influence and
responsibility in party leadership and
national policy than the ruler Of the
British empire. Great Britain is prac-
tically as much of a republic as the
United States; and, exalted as The posi-
ton OF the king may be. a change does
not affect the. commercial or financial
stability Of a nation governed SO COM
pletely by the will OF q sovereign peo-
pie. The death of Queen Victoria. in
spite OF her long reign and great in
fluence had no real effect upon busi-
ness affairs; and the death OF King
Edward, sad a disappointment as it
would be to the whole empire. would
have still less effect. British credit has
been through so many trials lately that
its general soundness is well demon
strated. and it would recover as readily
from this blow as 1t has from its pre-
decessors." i ll1lAant11A9

logical survey, shows that the produc-
ton of Portland cement in the United
States in 1901 was IL, ,225 barrels, an
increase of APPS, POS barrels, or almost so
per cent over the production Of 1900; it
260.525 in 1900. The development OF the
Portland cement industry in the United
States of late years is quite remarkable
In 1890. 16 works produced over 1886. 900

7ss, 900 barrels; in 1899, SO works produc-
sd over 1852. 200 barrels; In 1900. 20

He Is Chairman Of Minnesota
Republican Convention.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 1.-Former State
Senator Masterman, chairmaD OF the
state central committee. in calling the
Republican state convention to order
here this afternoon presented the name
Of United State Senator Knute Nelson
for temporary chairman. The selection
was approved by a hearty burst of APP
plause At the conclusion OF which sMr.
Nelson addressed the convention.
He said In part:
The tendency of the age Is combi-
nation and concentration and where the
chief object of this ID to lessen the cost
of production. SO as to cheaper the cost
to the consumer and not to obtain a
monopoly. suppress competition or
check the reduction Of price to the con-

consequences, should for the protection
of the entire people be subject to ma
tional control. Whoever seeks to enjoy
national protection and national adj
vantages should also submit to nation
al inspection and regulation. Protec-
ton in such cases should be mutual
Referring to railroad consolidation he
said:
Complete consolidation, whatever its
purposes may be, becomes nevertheless
in its essence monopoly, and a com
plete monopoly necessarily involves alb
solutism and this is repulsive to the
great body OF the people and is dreaded
by them, In the realm of traffic no less
than in the political world.
I'VE owed it to ourselves, to the peo-
pie Of the Philippine9 and to the entire
civilized world to do just what we did.
To have done otherwise would have
rendered our nation a moral imbecile
among the nations Of the world.
1.-THE glory, the honor and the pros
perity of our country at home and
abroad under the leadership of President
Roosevelt are safe in the keeping and
charge of the Republican party. We
shall meet and successfully solve the
Philippine problem as we have met anc
successfully solved every other great
problem we have been confronted with
since 1896 We shall in time plant the
flag of liberty, order and good govern
