against S281,S47, 900 for 1902, s201 ,Oo0,-
600 for 1899, and 1922 100000 for 1898,
our exports of domestic products would
have shown since 1898 not only a
steady but an extreme decline. AS it
is the total figures for the eleven
months ($739,797, 000) are seventy-one
millions less than for 1901 and thirty
five millions less than for 1898.
Somebody started the Iowa idea
on the theory that the American farm
er believed his prosperity was depend
ent entirely upon the foreign consump-
ton OF his products and that the way
to get his foreign market was to give
the American market to foreigners.
Evidently, however, the Iowa idea"
does not circulate with freedom among
the farmers themselves, for when
PRESIDENT Roosevelt crossed the Missis-
slppl river and talked to the rich and
populous farmers of the great west he
preached the funeral sermon Of the
Iowa idea" in his stand for the Amer
lean tariff system, which keeps the
American market for the American
people and puts money into American
hands, In wages and profits, to buy
what is offered in that market. And
as the farmers went wild over Presi-
dent Roosevelt's position, as against
the Iowa idea" we guess they keep a
pretty close watch on the treasury
statistics of exports as we'll as on the
contents of their bursting granaries
and their expanding bank accounts.
And that fact, no doubt, is why the
Iowa idea" died young.

A VALUABLE RELIC.

One of the most valuable relics
known to be extant in the United
States and one that is closely connect
ed with the history of America said
to be in possession of Frank Reeves of
Murphysboro, H., is the secret log
book said to have been carried by
Christopher Columbus when he made
his voyage of discovery across the At
lantic in 1892. Written on parchment
in a quaint language it tells the story
of the thrilling experiences that came
to that sturdy little band, whose voy-
age across the deep meant the bring
ing of the great western world into
touch with the life that was to mean
its development.
The record begins with the incidents
attendant upon the sailing of the three
vessels from Palos, Spain, August g.,
1892. 1t tells of the trouble experienced
by Columbus on the voyage over, of
the Joy, on coming into sight of land
and the occupation of the new land in
the name of the king and queen of
Spain. Incidents of the return trip are
also to be found until two of the yes
sells were caught in a storm west Of the
Azores. During this terrific storm the
last entry was made in the book which
was then placed in a strong box and
thrown into the sea with the hope that
1t would drift to the shores of Europe
and picked UP by friends that his cruel
fate might be made known to his coun-
trymen. The effect of that storm had
most dire effect upon the members
OF the crew, who. according to entries

Let the employers organize and

a joint conference of the two organiza-
tons. There is no instance in the his
tory Of labor unions where joint con-
tract has ever been violated. The labor

rule that its laws and constitution shall

More than ever before arbitration is
entering into the settlement of labor
disputes. Seldom does there occur a
long and bitter strike among the old

ployers is the tendency of organized
labor and more fully are the employers
coming to have confidence in the abil--
'ity to fulfill the conditions OF their
contracts.

HOW SPAIN WAS DEFEATED.

Chicago Record Herald: The high
court at Edinburgh, Scotland has con
firmed the Judgment of the court OF
sessions, rendered in February last
awarding to the government of Spain
S337 800 damages against the Clyde,
bank Engineering and Shiphuilding
company, because of that firms fail
ure to deliver on contract time in the
spring of 1897 four torpedo boat de-
stroyers. 1t was claimed by the Span
ish authorities that the absence of the
four destroyers from their fleet during
the war with the United States was
responsible for the outcome of that
var, hence their plea for damages.
The British courts decision apparently
establishes the justice of SPANS con
tention and settles question that has
ever since the fight off Santiago been
causing disputes in American naval
circles.
Let us hope now that the partisans
of Sampson and Schley will both be
silent. The Edinburgh high court
holds that neither of them defeated
Spain. 1t was the Clydebank Engi.
,neering and Shipbuilding company, but
for whose lucky delay the famous
charge up San Juan hill wauld have
been for naught. Let us give credit
where credit is due, and if the Clyde
bank Engineering and Shipbuildina
company ever becomes unable to sup
port itself it should by all means be
put upon the pension list

GLAD AND SAD DAYS.

Sioux City Journal: ut is all very
well for democrats to pick flaws in the
Wilson-Gorman tariff law at this late
date, but at the time tn act was pass.
ed Wilson was carried about the floor
of the congressional chamber on the
shoulders of his upporters-which
was highly inappropriate, inasmuch as
both Mr.. Wilson and his law rode the
shoulders of humanity until both were
repealed Lincoln Star.
Does Mr. Bryan remember the plea
SAINT incident referred to? He was one
of the stalwart young men of that glad
day. Doubtless Mr.. Bryan remembers
remembers that it was not the Will
son-Gorman day that was celebrated,
but the Wilson day. Chairman Wilson
was not toted around when the Wilson
German bill was passed. That was a
very solemn day in the house of repre-
sentatives. 1t was a day of party
perfidy and party dishonor.' The
democratic majority of the house was
helpless except to do one thing, and
that was to pass the bill as it came
from the, senate, without SO much as
changing letter, or to permit con-
gress to adjourn without writing a line
of tariff legislation. Chairman Wilson,
Mr.. Bryan and the rest of them took
the medicine, but tney Rugged their
seats very closely, and such merriment
as there was came from across the
aisle. The roll call dragged painfully;
it marked the end of a long chapter of
democratic pretension of what the DEM
ocratic party would do when it got a
chance.

PASSING OF THE PARLoR.

Davenport Times: Someone with a
memory that reaches back to days that
preceded the present generation has
called attention to the fact that the
good old fashioned parlor is passing
away. 1t used to be that in every home
that was worthy of the name there was
a parlor, room dark within its drawn
curtain, with its bright colored carpet
on which 1t was an objectionable sin to
deposit a grain of mud; a room where
every appointment was free from dust
and every detail of the furnishing was
always in order. This parlor was sep
arated from the remainder of the house
by doors that usually were closed. 1t
was the one place that was always
ready for the unlimited, for the
stranger and for Company spelled with
a big C.
The beds might stand unmade, the
dishes might yet remain on the dining
room table, the washing might en-
cunlber the laundry and the children's
playthings litter the sitting room. but
the parlor was always in state Of
immaculate readiness. Let the door
bell clang. 1t brought to the mother
no fear. There was at least one room
where the caller might be entertained
unaware of the conditions obtaining in
the remainder of the house.
We are told that our grandmothers
had parlors. Once in while In some
back country home one OF these grand
mothers psrloEg can yst y. b .ss f0 Ri On

THE PROPOSED CHURCH MERGER

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: New in.
terest has been given that old time dis
cussion OF union of all Christian
churches by recent utterances of DR..
Newell Dwight Hills upon that sub
ject, and such a merger is being urged
on every hand as desirable However.
it is not likely that the renewed argu,
ment OF the problem will bring it any
nearer successful and practical solu-
ton than when 1t was first proposed
long, long ago.
Creeds, doctrines and beliefs form
too great a part of churches even to.
day to admit of their being merged.
Before union under one grand orga-
nization can be brought about, tire.
mendous changes must be wrought in
the hundreds of separate organizations
now existing. The church of today is a
body of men brought together by com.
mon belief in the same fundamental
creed, doctrine or Interpretation of the
scriptures. Men are of many minds
about such things, and therefore there
are many churches and there always
will be as long as creed and doctrine
continue to be SO important part of
Christian religions.
If men would subordinate their
creeds they might effect a merger of
their churches; if they would put more
Importance in living and doing and less
In mere belief in this or that doctrine.
they might get along harm onicusly I'M
der great union of that sort. AS
long, however, as creed continues as
fundamental part of churches as now.
SO long will a merger be impossible.
Men ought to be able to labor togeth-
er in one church, for they are well
agreed upon the really fundamental
principles of Christianity, but they per-
sist in making unimportant things
important and then disagreeing upon
their Importance.

Practices His Beliefs.

The Des Moines Register and Leader
recurs to something Senator Hoar re-
Gently said concerning men and mon.
ey, and cites the senator himself as
an illustration of man practicing
what he breaches. Senator Hoar, 1t
is not likely" says, the Register and
Leader, will ever have palatial
country residence, nor even own a
blooded heifer. He is a poor man now;
he always has been a poor man, and
so long as he lives he will probably
be a poor man. He is not one who
has grown rich in public service nor
from publicity. Now. in his 18th year,
it is not likely that, following the late
Speaker Reeds example, he will leave
the public service and thereby be able
to put money in his private purse. 1t
is thus that when Senator Hoar tells
the young people of this generation
that 1t is nobler to make the man than
the money, his words must deeply in
fluence;; they cannot be thrown back
in his teeth, for he practices what he
breaches"

HOLD East THE OLD.

do not forsake the old friend for
the new" is apparently the motto adj
hered to by w. ]. Bryan. According
to his recent utterancet in the Com
moner he refuses to a\ate one iota
OF the principles or beliefs for which
he fought in the campaigns of 1896
and 1900. He wants tarln for reve-
nue. only. He declares against "im-
perialism," whatever that may mean.
The foundation stone of his pseaching
however, is free silver at the old ra-
ito. Mr.. Bryan has declared himself
Neither the democrats nor republicans
can mistake the position of the late
democratic presidential candidate and
should the wheels Of fate by any mys-
FERROUS or unlocked for turn again
place him at the head of the nat onal
ticket he would advocate the same
platform as those upon which he STOOD
in former battles.
Such an occurrence would be. gladly
received by the republicans of the
country. They would gladly fight the
battle again on the lines of the two
latest canvasses. Though the question
OF imperialism" entered but little into
the last presidential fight the republi-
cans would gladly meet it in connec-
ton with the other Bryanite doctrines.
Present indications furnish no cause
for the belief that Mr. Bryan will De
called to assume the leadership Of the
democratic party in 1904. However,
it is conceded that with very large
number of democrats he has big in
fuence, and there is no doubt but what
in the next democratic presidential
convention this influence will be CON
siderably felt Could he instill his
ideas into the minds of a sufficient
number to dominate the next conven-
ton, he would do good work for the
republicans, for sound politics and for
continuation of those policies that
have meant unexampled American
prosperity.

WHY THE IOWA IDEA' DIED
YOUNG.

New York Press: Those Americans
who persistently declare that our
wave Of prosperity was due entirely to
bumper crops and foreign demand
for them will not find testimony in
favor of their argument in the May
treasury bulletin on exports of domeS-
tic breadstuffs, provisions, cotton and
mineral OIL The farmer knows per-
fectly we'll that he had bumper crops
and poverty in the Wilson law days,
not for lack of foreign demand for his
products, but for lack of a good price
fixed in the home market American
consumers not having the means to
buy because American industries were
PROSTATE before free trade invasion
and American wage earners ont of
work and money The farmer knows,
also. that he is faring better than he
ever Jared before, though he Is not now
selling his products abroad as he sold
them in 1898 or 1901. He is prosper
ing nightly because his home market,
fortified with abundant business and
full wages, absorbs his products at pro-
fitable prices to him.
Ihus for the eleven months ending
with May the exports of breadstuffs
(Sl99, 243.2S2) were less by forty-six
millions than for the corresponding
period In 1901; less by thirty-three mil
lions than for 1900; less by nearly
forty-tive millions than for 1899, and
less by ninety-six millions than for
1898 ($295,60S, 1881. So it is with cat
tie and hogs the exports for the eleven
months ending with May being the
lowest in value since 1897 and 25 per
cent less than in 1898. Meat and dairy
exports were no larger than for any
Of the last seven years; they were less

THE SOUTH is NOT A MENACE.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: The At
lanta Constitution and one or two in
nocent republican papers are saying
the solid south is a menace to the
country" and both the Constitution
and other journals grieye thereat
There is no reason for mourning at
the south's solidity. 1t does not affect
the political situation in the country
in the faintest particular except as ii
serves to keep the south out Of infll.
ence in the country's political affairs
and aids in preventing the south's par
ty from getting in control of the gov
eminent.
Ii this placement of the south and
the democratic party makes the solid
south menace, then the democracy
and the south are the only sufferers
The republican party has no right to
complain at the solidity of the south.
AS matter of fact, the republican
party is not complaining. So long as
the south remains solid, or as nearly
solid as 1T has been in the past few
years, the rest of the country will re-
main pretty solid against it. This
means that the republican party will
continue to run the government. If
there were a southern democratic lead.
er with an ounce of brains he would
see that southern solidity Injuries the
south and its party and aids the re.
publicans.
The republicans are not quarreling
over this condition of things. They
are not making any effort to teach the
south sanity. They expended some
work in that direction at one time, but
accomplished very little. They will
do no more of it. So long as the south
deliberately refuses to divide on the
economic issues of the day and keeps
up its hostility to the republican party
Just SO long will the south remain out.
side OF the current of the country's
pontical interests and activities and
just SO long will the republican party
continue to hold sway by large ma.
jorities. Southern solidity is the most
embecile thing which the country has
seen since southern secession. The
punishment for solidity will not take
the same form as the punishment for
secession, but the punishment will be
dealt out just the same.
