Audubon County Democratic
Platform.

Audubon county democratic states
men undertook to pass resolutions at
their convention last week and, as
some times happens when men try to
play new roles, they did some grotesque
things.
The first plank read 1--WE the demo
Gratis OF Audubon county in convention
assembled hereby affirm our allegiance
to the time honored principles Of the
democratic party"
The public would have been glad il
this resolution had been more explicit.
"Time honored" principles is indefi.
mite. There might even be difference
of opinion about which of the party 6
principles are "time honored." 1t is
noticeable, however, that only ''time
honored" ones, whatever that means,
are reaffirmed. That omission let's ont
host Of others. Audubon county
democrats arc wise.
The second resolution strikes lick al
the gigantic trusts formed during the
past four years." What about those
formed previous to four years ago, such
as the sugar trust, the Standard Oil
trust, the cotton bale trust and others :
Does over four years Of age make a
trust any more righteous? Here is the
resolution referred to:
We hereby affirm our belief in a tariff
for revenue only and congratulate the
country upon the tendency of the lead
ers OF the republican party to recog-
nize the fact that high tariff fosters
and promotes dangerous combinations
in restraint Of trade; and that the ri.
gantic trusts formed during the past
four years are the natural outgrowth OF
the high tariff now in force and that il
has become evident that such comb
tons must in some way be crushed.
II trust is more than four years old
it don't need to be crushed. Is that
the idea?
1--WE favor a liberal policy in all
matters relating to Philippine affairs
and believe the people of those islands
should be accorded the same benefits,
rights and privileges as are accorded
the people of Cuba"
The policy Of Audubon county dem.
ocrats, as announced by this resolution
is to give the Filipinos the same treat
ment as We have given the Cubans,
that is free government. They
would make no difference on account
OF the different conditions prevailing in
the two places, difference in education
and ability to govern themselves
That is trying to apply q principle
without discrimination or Judgment.
The last resolution reads Eve be
lieve that congress should have passed

silver question and the divisions that
have come to the party therefore, these
have all contributed to republican,
growth. We can hardly believe we are
in danger of losing the next house, bnt
if we do lose it Iowa is likely to contri-
butte one or two democratic members.
Judge Wade, the probable democratic
nominee in the Second, is man Of
ability and character and is liable to
prove strong man. Reese in the
Sixth may make inroads among the
miners on gallant Maj. Lacey's receut
majorities. Iowa republicans should
be awake to the situation.

an act giving Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines advantages of the CONNER
cial relations with the United States
which they do not now enjoy"
This is so loosely drawn as not to be
clear. We presume, however. that free
trade or approximately that, with this
country is what the resolution means
to ask for.
The platform which is thus put out
for the democratic county candidates to
make their campaign upon, is full OF
inaccuracies, pitfalls and dangers.

Elections so far this fall indicate that
the republican majorities will be larger
than usual for an off year.

Uncle Horace Boies has done a lot OF
jumping around on the money question.
He has never been a real sound mouey
man or free silver man, but has tried
to carry water on both shoulders. II
looks like his convictions depend some
what on his view of where his political
interests are.

A year ago when our fair was run
ming telegram came announcing that
President Mckinley was shot by an
assassin. Word came when our fair
was going on this year that President
Roosevelt was dangerously injured by
being run into by an electric car. The
coincidence was remarked by many.

AUDUBON,

and the majorities of last year in the
two counties, Cass democrats have less
to overcome there than Audubon demo-
Gratis have here. But they have so
much to overcome that they are tired
of trying. Audubon county democrats
might profit by following the example
of their neighbors.

gathering strength fully as much, but
perhaps no more than in the rest of the
north. The reaction that came from 1

patriotic conduct OF the republican
party in its course on protection,
finance and foreign affairs as led by the
illustrious Mckinley, and the series of
blunders democracy has made on tn,

INDUSTRIAL ITEMS.

It takes a weight of 4,5O0 pounds to
crush cubic inch of best brick
The GAP new labor disputes recorded
in the United Kingdom in 1901 involved
nearly $50, 900 workpeople, rabout two
per cent. of the industrial population.
The number of trained chemists em.
ployed in German factories in 1885 was
1,70O. II is now 4,5O0, besides another
1000 employed abroad. Nine big dye
works have from 20 to 1O5 chemists
apiece.
jeff Seaton, a coal operator located
near Shelbina, Mo-, has opened two
mines-one for union and one for nom
union men-so that the miners cantake
their choice. Eleven men have com
meneed work in the nonunion mine and
IS have gone to work in the other.
The same scale of pay is in effect in
both mines.
The eiectro-chemical industry Of
this country has grown up since 1890.
But its growth has been rapid in that
decade, indeed, so rapid as to make
serious inroads on the older processes.
As an example of this movement may
be cited the electric production of cal
cium bisulphide. The substance is
made by one of the most ingenious
chemical applications of electricity.
The process in question is the inven-
tion OF Edward r. Taylor, and was
put in opera tion in 1900.

UNDER THE UNION JACK.

Three and one-half per cent. of Ion
don police are daily on the sick list.
Canada's 5000 cheese factories make
on an average 80 tons each of cheese
year.
The British empire is 40 times as
large as Germany and her colonial de-
tendencies.
The post offices of England handled
last year 2,451, 500, 900 letters, and 449,-
100000 postal cards.
There are about $4,000 conricts in
the prisons of England, which cost
about s3,OOOOOO a year.
Sixty per cent. of all the herrings
caught around the British Isles are
taken off the Scottish coasts.
The killed and woundedby accidents
in London streets number nearly TO-
600 a year. OF these 200 are killed on
the spot.
Dubiin's park area is 1883 acres, an
area sufficient TO allow each 175 inhab-
itants an acre of breathing space.
Edinburgh has 4O7 acres of park.
1t is said to be the cost Of the kilt
which is causing this becoming gar
ment to disappear so rapidly in Scot
land. A good lailt costs about 81.

It is a good thing TO give thanks
unto the Lord. For what? Count

smile. Live so that others about you

To make small cork fit a large

practice is to trim the sides of the

at its lower end. If the cork is very

The Hon. Adlai Stevenson who, it
will be remembered, was at one time
Vice President, has been making
speeches showing that Mr.. Bryan
was right when he SAID that there
was no real prosperity in the country,
and that what there may be is Of the
fleeting vapory sort. Ofcourse Adlai
must have a wide and comprehensive
view of affairs since he could run for
the President with two such men as
Cleveland and Bryan.
The Pennsylvania railroad has
increased the wages of 10000 EN-
ployees ten per cent. and the New
York Central has done the same for
$4,000; voluntarily and without
strikes. And yet the democrats
claim there is no prosperity in the
land--that is all imagination.
The threatened renaissance OF
Bryan and Organism failed at the
November elections. Populism has
been thrown overheard. Now comes
the union of democracy and social
ism. Hill was foresighted in seeing
the trend Of affairs, but the attempt

doomed to the same miserable failure
as Bryan's fiasco in '96.
