ViNpioArIoN OF REPuBLIcAN POLIO,

INDICATION OF REPUBLICAN, POLICY.
The statistics of national progress and
prosperity during the last FIVE years fur
nish a complete vindication Of repub-
lican policy. The more striking of
these are presented in a speech by Sena-
tor Gallinger Of New Hampshire, de-
livered in the United States senate ten
days ago. He pointed out that during
the period from 1893 to 1897. when
democratic policy prevailed. there was
an annual treasury deficit, necessitating
the selling of bonds by the government
to the amount Of 1892, 000, 1000. Under
republican policy the revenues OF the
government were increased and today
the national treasury has the largest
cash balance and the greatest stock of
gold in it's history. 1t is estimated by
competent authority that during the
period Of democratic policy 100000
men were out Of employment, while the
wages Of those employed were con-
stantly forced down, many working only
part time at that. In the last 1--WE years
there has been nearly all the time full
employment for labor and wages have
been increased again and again.
The rewards of agriculture during the
past NV years have been the greatest
in the history Of the country. The
official statistics show that the value OF
the products of the farm. including live
stock, in 1901, was greater by $1,000
100000 than in 1896, due to the in
creased price Of the products. The
higher value for farm commodities is
explained by the largely augmented
consumption in the home market,
created by the fuller employment and
better compensation Of labor and the
generally prosperous condition Of the
people. The growth of manufactures
during the five years OF republican
policy since 1896 has been most remark.
able. The value Of products for 1900
is given by the census at over $4,000
the value Of manufactures will reach
SIS, 100000, which is double the out
put of 1895 or 1896. In spite of con-
solicitations and combinations, the num-
Der of manufacturing establishments in
creased over "A per cent in the last dec

five years have been made In Iron and

factory"
The transportation business last year
was very greatly in excess of that Of
1896, a fact that shows as strikingly as
any other the country's progress and
prosperity. Another fact equally i'm
pressive is found in the bank clearances,
which last year were more than double
in amount those Of 1896. Many other
interesting facts evidencing the success
of republican policy were presented by
the New Hampshire senator, who con-
cluded his most instructive speech, all
the facts of which were from official
sources, as follows: Our friends on
the other side are looking for an issue.
They need not worry, the issue is look
ing for them. Prosperity is the issue
and all other questions are secondary.
The American standard of living, Ameri-
can manhood and American homes are
but the resultants of republican legisla-
ton, the sequences of a protective tariff
which brought to us and will continue to
give us an unprecedented age of luxury
and unparalleled era of prosperity"

TIN pAY WE HONOR

Where is the American who does not
honor the natal day Of the republic and
believe in the principles for which 1t
stands? Volumes have been uttered
during the last few years to the effect
that the people of this republic were
losing respect for the Declaration Of In
dependence, that the reverence they once
had for the immortal doctrines of that
proclamation of liberty was departing.
Few seriously think that this is the Ease
and such as do will find a conclusive
answer to the charge in the interest and
enthusiasm that will mark the observ-
ance Of this anniversary throughout the
land and wherever the flag of the n a
ton floats All the indications are that
Independence day will be celebrated this
year as generally, as heartily and as
periodically as in any previous year,
thus attesting that the American people
now hold the Fourth Of July in as great
esteem as IL has ever been held and are
no less devoted to the principles it rep
resents.
1t is one hundred and twenty-six years
since the founders of the republic threw
down their challenge to England in the
declaration that the colonies ARE, and
of right ought to be, independent states"
In that period our free institutions have
been subjected to the severest tests and
have come out of every trial stronger
and more firmly established. No danger
threatens them and they will remain Sc
cure so long as the American people
continue as loyal and patriotic as they
now are. Rejecting upon the greatness,
the glory, the power and the prosperity
reasons for rejoicing on this anniver-
sary.

DISSATISFACTION IN CUBA

There is undoubtedly a good deal Of
popular dissatisfaction in Cuba, which
is not all due to the fact that the United
States has not given the new republic
the tariff concessions hoped for. The
economic situation there is doubtless bad
and causes a disquieting feeling as to
the immediate future, but there is still
the relieving expectation that this gov
eminent will yet do something to help
Cuba out of her embarrassing industrial
and financial condition. The Cubans
know that President Roosevelt has
abated nothing of his purpose in this
respect and that there is reason to ex-
pect that a treaty will be negotiated
which may receive approval of congress
at the next session.
Another source Of dissatisfaction and
one which may prove troublesome Is po-
litical. Already complaints are being
made against the administration Of Pres
ident Palma, chief Of which is that he
has Disseminated against the negroes in
appointments. A meeting Of negroes
was held a few days ago at Havana
at which addresses were made sharply
criticising the course of Palma, one of
the speakers comparing the president
with the Spanish General Callejas, say
ing that the latter was more liberal and
democratic than Palma, the president Of
a democratic republic. Another meeting
of negroes at Santiago protested against
the course Of the administration toward
that race. These expressions Of dissat-
.isfaction on the part of an element OF
the population which is in the majority
points to the possibility of serious
trouble unless the negroes are given the
recognition they demand. There is in
sympathy with this element some men
Of ability and influence whose counsel
it. will be we'll for the administration
to regard. The spirit that is being
shown at the very outset of the expert
ment of Cuban self-government suggests
that the United States may have m
thing further to do in the island before
the republic is firmly established.

ISSUES THAT WILL NOT STAY PUT.
~Democracy's Feeble Roar Through a
Congressional MeGaphone.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

Our democratic friends have great dim
Guilty in making and keeping their issues.
President Roosevelt said in one Of his
Washington speeches that the nag will
stay put" That is why it is wholly IN
like democratic issues. They won't stay
put"
Three months ago the democrats in con-
gress decided to make the Philippine ques-
ton paramount. They determined to fight
the coming congressional and presidential
battles on that line. In their delusion
they thought the conditions were propitous
for this policy. Just at the moment the
exaggerated reports Of the water cure and
distorted stories Of cruelty produced an
ephemeral feeling Of restiveness which the
eager democratic leaders mistook for a re-
action against the Philippine policy of the
government.
This manifestation was transient; It
rested chiefly upon fiction; in the very
nature OF the case 1t could not last. But
the democratic managers Immediately
seized upon 1t as the foundation OF a fixed
policy and the basis OF a national cam
paign. They framed their scheme in
minute detail; they formulated a complete
plan down to the smallest particulars OF
organizing an independent Philippine ma
! ton, Withdrawing American control and
engaging all the great powers to keep
hands off. This plan was put forth with
loud trumpetings, aud it was SYSTEMATICALLY
proclaimed that this question was to be
made the ~pre-eminent issue on which the
democratic party would fight for control OF
congress and the government. In further
anee OF this program they entered upon the
most extended debate of the session and
consumed many weeks in the discussion.
What Is the outeome? On Friday night
the democratic members OF the house met
in conference to outline party issues for
the coming congressional campaign. They
adopted a series of resolutions settine
forth what they now conceive to be the
strong points that can be made against the
republican majority. and, strangely enough.
these resolutions neyer once mention the
Philippines! They S@e devoted wholly 70
the failure Of Cuban reciprocity, and to the
subjects Of tariff and trusts. The demo-
cratic leaders have found that the Philip
pine issue as they made II up would not
stay put" Its assumed facts we're hctions
and its policy OF seuttle was repugnant
to the American sense. The other issues
will be found equally futile.

these acres of gold embroidery before the

WRESTLING TO KEEP UP COURAGE.

That the democrats who have been
counting on the possibility of democratic
control Of the next congress are already
forced to whistle to keep up their cour
age is plain from the statements given
out by the so-styled party leaders on
the conclusion of the congressional ses-
sion.
In a pronunciamento over his name as
chairman of the democratic congress
sional committee Mr.. Griggs, who halls
from 8 safely democratic district down
in Georgia, can find nothing worse to
say than that the session controlled
absolutely by the republican party, has
done many things that people of the
country did not want and failed to do
many things the people want" When
he comes to specify, however, the fall
ures refer to tariff revision and Cuban
reciprocity, two things which the demo-
Gratis would have INSTRUCTED whenever
attempted. Mr.. Griggs processes to be-
lieve that the people demand a revision
of the tariff and especially a reduction
of the schedule on trust-made and trust
controlled goods, but he may be sure
that the people are firmly attached to
the protective principle and when tariff
revision is desired will look to repub-
licans as the friends of protection to
do the work rather than to democrats
who would revise all the protection out
of it.
Another lament comes from Senator
James K. Jones Of Arkansas, who is still
able to subscribe himself chairman of
the national democratic committee" al
though repudiated by the democrats of
his own state, who have already Sc
lected his successor. Senator Jones is
convinced, in his own mind, that the
result of the session has not met the
expectations of the country in reducing
taxation. The republicans preferred to
rescind the payment Of the wal taxes
rather than destroy the tariff as the
democrats would have liked, and this
constitutes the disappointing feature.
Senator Jones, who owes his loss of
prestige and power at home, and con
sequent loss Of his senatorial seat to
his identification with the Round Cot
ton Bale trust, has the audacity also to
complain that the trust question has
been passed over without congressional
action, as If the action Of President
Roosevelt under existing antitrust laws
were not quite sufficient to indicate the
firm attitude taken by the republicans
against trust evils and trust abuses.
If these two democratic leaders are
advance agents for the tale of woe or
which democrats hope to gain control
of the next congress, the party may as
well admit now that it is heavily handi-
capped and concede that nothing short
of a miracle will give us a democratic
house for the Fifty-eighth congress.
