The Jewish outlook., 1904-10-28

would it have been had they not so mani
tested themselves, for if any people on
the face Of the earth have proven that
they are loyal, brave and true, it is the
Jews, who for centuries and centuries
have gone through the valley and shadow
of persecution and misery.
Thus we find that on the staff of Wash
ingtOn, General Green and other great
American generals, there were prominent
citizens Of Jewish faith. Among the
signers of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence there were eight Jews of the city OF
Philadelphia Thus we find that when
Robert Morris was bankrupt, and in need
of money, and when the soldiers OF the
American Revolution were starving at
Valley Forge, there came forward to the
rescue a Polish immigrant, one OF the de-
spised ones, Hyman Solomon, and gave
for the cause $2S5, 900, equal to millions
in those days; and that money was
handed to Robert Morris to replenish the
treasury of the United States and make
it possible to feed the hungry and starv
ing soldiers, and to clOthe those who dur
ing that sad period left their bloody
tracks in the mid winter SHOWS. That is
what Hyman Solomon has done, and the
republic owes the money to-day! The
proposition was brought up before Con-
gress that gold medal be given to the
living heirs of Hyman Solomon, at my
suggestion. 1t was endorsed at late
hour, and at the next session the bill will
pass. There was no medal ever struck
in the mints Of the United States that
will speak to future generations more
strongly than that which gave to the an
mails Of history the name of the Polish
Jew, the American citizen, Hyman Solo
mon.
Thus in the war of 1912, in the Mexi-
can War and in the Indian War, you will
find men of our race and religion fight
ing in the ranks for the maintenance of
the Constitution of our country.
In the struggle Of the states on both
sides Of the Potomac the American citi-
zen Of Jewish faith fought as each one
was convinced Of the right on his respec-
tive side.
In 1876, when William B. Hackenberg
compiled the United States census there
were at that time 100000 Jews in these
United States. In 1861, naturally there
were great many less Therefore, have
we not every reason to be proud and
grateful to remember that in that great
struggle there were over 10000 Jewish
soldiers whose names gathered from the
records Of the War Department and
other records; a larger proportion of
American patriots Of our faith in CORE
spondence with any other faith in these

E. Fl. Hartman, one of the best in

New York Herald reporter:
Conditions which in other years
caused panic and national distress do
not now exist. In all localties--in Me-
braska and Kansas. in the East and the
Far West-the local moneyed interests
are conservative. 1t is possible to in
vestigate with accuracy any financial or
industrial question. The small money
centers as well as the large ones are
well supplied with funds. and this fact
insures careful investment and mini
mics risk. There has been a SLOW
steady enhancement of values, and it is
still going on"

THOROUGHLY EXPOSED.
The Weakness of Parker and Davis
Grows Palmer Each Day.

1t appears that Judge Parker of
ESopus is going to New York City TO
run his own campaign. The revelation
has come, but it has come more swiftly
than most of us expected. The revela-
ton is simply ths-that the idea of the
country that the Democrats had nomi-
mated a fine old judge whose character
led up to the standard of what a Judge
should be is shivered into splinters. Two
years ago the country knew nothing of
Judge Alton b. Parker of New York.
and little of Henry Gassaway Davis of
West Virginia. two men picked up. for
purpose. by the men who controlled the
Democratic national convention. How
clear to everybody now must be the sit
nation! Instead of this stately judge
who sent the stately telegram to ST.
Louis. appears, and for all permanency,
merely decent creature of the famous
New York politician. David Bennett
Hill.
1t is all queer. 1t appears so unsub-
stantial and Indifferent that Hill could
have nominated one of his creations for
the Presidency
As the days pass in this autumn of
1904 the eyes of the American people
are opening as to the political situation
There is no anguish following the open
ing 1t is practically all over. save the
exhibition of certain exuberanee next
November.
1t is impossible that such a people
as are the voters of the United States
could vote generally to place the gov
eminent in the hands OF Tammany and a
weak but crafty Democratic leader,
whose aims and objects have seemed
ever to be for himself alone. one who
has never heard or thought of the ex-
preston. 'the greatest good for the
greatest number" and who, above all,
seems incompetent for the best manage
ment of the United States.

UNWORTHY OF TRUST.
Gold Democrats Stunning the Hill
Sheehan Combination.

The Gold Democrats of Indiana are
unwilling to trust Judge Parker's spon-
sors. They are willing to contribute $10,-
600 to the campaign fund, but the money
will not be sent to the Hill-Sheehan
combination. They have asked Parker
himself to take the money. If the Demo
Gratis are unwilling to trust their leaders,
how can the mass of the people be ex-
pected to take any stock in the profess
sions and promises of the party? If the
Gold Democrats are correct in their esti-
mate of Parker's managers, the latter
are no better than a gang of sand-bag-
gers. Sterling r. Holt, one of the lead
ing Gold Democrats of Indiana, said a
few days ago: "The Gold Democrats
are not going to be coaxed behind a
barn and relieved Of their money and
then driven to the polls and voted"
1t is gratifying to learn that such n
nan as Mr.. Holt entertains the same
view of Hill and Sheehan that Repub-
icans do. but it is somewhat remarkable
that Mr.. Holt does not realize that Par
ker is merely the creature of his man
ayers, and that any money given to the
judge will find its way. through some
channel, to Democratic headquarters.

Retail Merchants Busy.

Reports from every city in the country
tell of great activity among the retail
who are laying in stocks and
for lively fall and winter
trade. When the retail merchants are
busy the country is prospecting, for they
depend largely on the working people for
custom. Democrats who are bowling
calamity and hard times should retire
to the Halls of Silence at Esopus and
immune themselves until the campaign
is over lest they be engulfed by the Re
publican wave of prosperity.

Then he coyly turns one ear to earth and
To instruction from the subway under

And August smiles serenely Ger at

And Dave looks back and winks the

And all the while they keep right on ar

Democrat. Admire Roosevelt.

Radical Democratic newspapers are
forced to admit that President Roose-
velt's letter of acceptance is strenuous
presentation of the issues from Repub-
lican standpoint. Even the New York
World and Denver Times commend the
Presidents keynote" The fact is. there
is not a Democrat in the land who does
not admire Mr.. Roosevelt's direct way of
going at things, and all would vote for
him If they could ut the same time re-
tain their party organization. There
will be no real regret among Democrats
when Mr.. Roosevelt is elected. He is
ten times more popular with the mass
of Democracy than Judge Parker is.

DEMOCRATS ADMISSION.
Parker's Party Afraid to stand on It's
Past Record.

John b. Stanch6eld, one of the leaders
OF the New York Democracy, said in a
speech at Schenectady
They (the Democrats) do not stand on
their past. but they present live inter
probation OF live issues"
Truly, the Democratic party does not
stand on its past. II dares not stand
on its past--on its advocacy OF free
coinage Of silver. on it's demand for the
hauling down of the flag in the Philip
pines, on the business paralysis that
marked the last period during which the
Democratic party was in control of the
government; on its declaration that the
war for the preservation Of the Union
was failure: on all the laundering OPP
position of which its history is con.
tinnous record.
The Democratic party does not and
dares not stand upon its record, because
its record would discredit the most en-
ticing promises that it could make.

PARKeR's DEFICIT SCARE.
1t IL Kasi1y Exploded by an Appeal
to Facts aud Figures.

The Ulster County candidate, labor
ing hard over Judge Parker's speech to
the faithful Democratic editors, scissored
out some statistics with which to ham
mer the Republican administration. But
while the judge was toiling over his
empty sentences,
ellis cogitative faculties immersed
In cogibundity of cogitation,
his aptitude for figures went on vaca-
ton and he prepared, or accepted. some
very queer conclusions, which he gave
to the admiring editors with much pomp
and circumstance.
The trouble is that the Ulster County
politicians deficit is not a deficit at
all. when it comes to realities. The Re
publicans delightedly accept the chal-
lenge of the Democratic candidate, for 1t
gives them chance to show few sta
tistics themselves.
Judge Parker asserts" says a Wash
ington dispatch to the Chicago Chron-
icle. that there is now a deficit of S42,-
100000. instead of a surplus of $S0.O00.-
600. which Mr.. Roosevelt found on be-
coming President. Both statements are
reckless, as careful examination of
the records of the treasury will show.
In regard to the deficit. the receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1904, show an apparent deficit
of S40,000.0Oo in round numbers, but
during that time the United States paid
$5O.0000O0 for Panama canal and adj
vanced $4.50O.0O0 to the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition. which latter amount is
to be returned to the government. IL
Mr.. Parker will deduct his apparent def
cit of S42,000000 from the S54 500 900
paid for the purchase of the Panama
canal and the encouragement of an ex-
position of worldwide scope and impor-
lance. he would find a balance of $12,-
100000 and upward on the other side of
the ledger"
