antagonism to the American policy in

Such men as these bothered Presi-

hearted man to the most severe re-
Duke OF which his gentle spirit was
capable. Such men followed Presi-
dent Grant with strange malignity,
and they have been like wasps buzzing
about the heads of those who have
been doing the American work for
years past. But this country's prog
ress has gone on in spite of those who
magnify small things and minimize
great ones, and will so continue.
How little such grumblers as those

HELP THE WoRK,INGMEN.
Some Hard Facts Regarding Capt.
tn1istic Combinations for Demo-
Gratis to Cope With.


The democrats are. preparing to
charge in the coming campaign that
the extension of Amerieaff+ trade to
foreign markets as a result of capital
istic combinations in this country has
not been beneficial to the American
people, says the Cleveland Leader.
They will, however. be confronted
by some hard facts in the statistics
of foreign trade which are issued by
the treasury bureau of statistics. Ac-
cording to these figures, products of
American factories of the value of
$215, 900, 900 were sold in European
markets during the fiscal year ended
on June 30. OF these exports iron and
steel We're valued at $43,000,000; cop
per manufactures at Sal 100000; oil at
S40,000,000; leather at $21 100000. and
agricultural implements at $10,5OO,-
600.
Had there not been foreign mar
ket available for these products the
surplus of $215, 100000 would either
have remained to glut the home mar
ket or production would have had to
be curtailed in that amount. The sale
of these products in European mar
kets means big return to American
workingmen upon their toll. 1t is es-
timated that at least 40 per cent of the
cost of manufactured product is paid
in the wages of labor, and that means
that $50 100000 has come to American
workingmen in wages on the produc-
ton of the manufactured goods sold in

Anti-imperialist pronunciamentoes

voluminously, but they are always an

The trouble with the anti-imperial-
lists and with the letter which they
have just addressed to President
Roosevelt is that they insist upon the
facts agreeing with their theories.
The result is distortion of vision,
which makes these men perverted OBJ
servers and unsafe guides. The few
instances of harsh treatment which
have developed in suppressing the in
surrection in the Philippines, and
which have been promptly rebuked
and punished by the officers of the
army and by the administrative au-
thorities at Washington, are selected
by the anti-imperialists as typical
cases. These complainants have not

amount if it were taken out of their

There is no disagreement among the
people as to the necessity for the regu-

in the coming campaign will claim that
the influence of the trust is wholly bad
and they will seek, moreover, to hold
the republicans responsible for their
existence. They cannot succeed

TO KEEP UP COURAGE.
Democrats Are Whistlins Very Loud
Iy Because of Their Poor
Prospects.

That the democrats who have been
counting on the possibility Of demo-
cratic control of the next congress
are already forced to whistle to keep
up their courage is plain from the
statements given out by the so-styled
party leaders on the conclusion of
the congressional session.
In prohunciamento over his name
as chairman of the democratic con-
gressional committee Mr.. Griggs,
who halls from a 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" The Omaha
Bee discovers that when he comes to
specify, however, the failures refer
to tariff revision and Cuban reciproc-
ity, two things which the democrats
would have obstructed whenever at
tempted. Mr.. Griggs processes to
believe that the people demand a re-
vision of the tariff and especially
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 republicans as
the friends of protection to do their
work rather than to democrats, who
would revise all the protection ont
of it.
