OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
1t Expands Under Republican and Col
Iapses Under Democratic Policies.

One of the great arguments of the
free traders has been that with free
trade we would have access to the mar
kets of the world" Well, the only time
the free traders have had control of
the government III recent years was in
the second Cleveland administration.
They did not put actual free trade into
operation, but they came close enough
to 1T to put most of the factories Of
this country out of operation. We did
not get the markets Of the world. They
may have been open to us, but our man
ufacturers were going out of business so
fast, under the ruinous tariff schedules
the Democrats had put into effect, that
they could not seek the markets of the
world. Their own home market the best
one to them, was. invaded by cheap for
eign goods, however.
Then the protective tariff system was
reinstated by the people Of this country,
and Immediately the factories began to
turn their wheels again. Within ten
years we have demonstrated that the
way to get the markets of the world
is to protect our own market against
invasion, build up our industries, and
then branch out for foreign trade.
We have not had anything like free
trade within those ten years, and yet we
are selling millions of dollars worth of
goods every year in the markets of the
world
In Congress, last winter, Congressman
Hill, of Connecticut, told of a recent
visit he had made abroad. He said:
L stood on the deck of a Japanese liner
in the harbor Of Vladivostok, Russian
Siberia. In the hold of that ship was
over 700 tons of American agricultural
implements that had come across the
Pacific ocean from America for the use
Of the peasants Of Siberia, and shipped
there under the Dingley tariff bill. That
night at the hotel / met the represent
alive of a locomotive works in Phila-
delphia who told me he had just put in
100 locomotives, for use in the Siberian
railway, shipped there under the Ding
ley tariff law.
''Next day l rode 500 miles up the
banks of the Amur river over American
steel rails shipped there under the
Dingley tariff law Then l got aboard
steamer to go up the Amur 1000 miles.
1t was American built, towed two steel
barges made in Pittsburg, shipped there
under the Dingley tariff law.
''In the village of GOrbitza, Siberia,
ten thousand miles from here, the vii
lage consisting of q dozen log houses,
in a little store not over 8 by 10, we
bought a package of candy, wrapped in
paper on which was printed the picture
of William Mckinley TO popularize that
candy among the peasants of Siberia.
all shipped under the Dingley tariff
law"
That looks as if we had ahslice of
the markets Of the world, but we never
got anywhere near them under Demo
cratic tariff IDEAS

Republican Victory Expected.


Except for the belief in business cir
cles that there will be a sweeping Re
publican victory in November there I'M
doubtedly would be some apprehension
ii business circles" and this in turn
would swiftly lead up to Unsatisfactory
industrial conditions"
AS soon as the returns from the cleo
ton in November can definitely show to
the business interests of the country that
the party of incompetence and calamity
has again been defeated, and that there
fore there will be four years more of Re-
publican prosperity, there will undoubt-
eddy be a great impetus to the present
prosperity.
Following the election of 1904 the
gains in every direction will probably be
as pronounced and extraordinary as fol-
lowed the Republican victories of 1896
and 1900.
Democratic success always tends to
create alarm and depression through
business circles, while Republican vic
tories, on the other hand, always in
spire greater confidence and make times
Immediately better. even with prosperity
already being enjoyed, like in 1900, when
the reelection of President Mckinley
greatly increased the existing prosperity.

PULITZER's MISTAKE.
He DOES Not Understand the Attitude
of Parker.

Joseph Pulitzer did not attend the
gathering of Democratic editors which
met and communed recently with the
Democratic candidate for the presidency,
but he wrote letter, of which this was
the concluding paragraph:
1t is because l so strongly desire Judge
Parker's election that l speak so plainly on
this subject l earnestly beg of you when
you see him tomorrow at ESopus to urge
that he accept also the full responsibility Of
his position; that he will not permit the
campaign in New YOrk-the pivotal State
to be misinanaged by the small politicians
who beset him.
"Besetr' ''Beset," indeed! Little is
Alton b. Parker ''beset" by the small
politicians to whom Pulitzer alludes,
those who have, for years, been the vas
sails of David Bennett Hill or among
the operators for Tammany. Alton B.
Parker has been one of them himself.
Foxy political manager for Hill, who
repaid him by an appointment, and who,
in the present year, has repaid him fur
Their, he is not likely to be 'beset'' by his
own associates. Mr. Pulitzer must be
wandering in his mind 1t is upon those
from whom he wishes Mr.. Parker to dis
sociate himself that Mr.. Parker depends
for whatever vote he may get in New
York-Tammanyites and the Hill bench
men.

NOT USED BY DEMOCRATS
Adjectives for Which Parker's Fol-
lowers Have No Use.


I'VE know what we mean when we
speak of an honest and stable currency,
said President Roosevelt in his speech
of acceptance.
In no official utterance of the Demo
cratic party, or of its candidates for
President or Vice President during the
last eight years, have the adjectives
honest or stable ever been used to
designate the kind of currency Democ-
racy deIGG 1.iided and this Notwithstanding
the Democratic phrase makers will use
adjectives freely and recklessly wneiI-
ever they have any paramount or
'tantamount" idea to advance, like in
the platform adopted at st. Louis, which
said ''the existing Republican admins
tration has been SPASMODIC. Err
RATIO, SENSATIONAL. SPECTAC-
ULAR and ARBITRARY"
Alton b. Parker says the gold stand
ard is ''irrevocably established but he
does not say that his own personal be-
lief in it as affording an ''HONEST
AND STABLE CURRENCY" has been
irrevocably established nor, furthermore,
that he deemed the Democratic party
wrong, when in Congress, in 1899, it al
most to a man voted against the estab-
lishment of the gold standard.
AS the gold standard of value was
then ''irrevocably established not by
the Democratic party, but by the Repub-
lican party, the only gold standard that
the Democratic party can honestly claim
to have "irrevocably established" is the
gold standard Of silence on subject on
which it never did talk except to lower
itself in the estimation of intelligent peo-
pie, and to breed apprehension in bust
ness circles.

Confidence increases each week as a
larger proportion of the agricultural yield
is placed beyond the reach of injury
and industrial undertakings are less in
terrupted by labor controversies. 1t is
not to be expected that the business
world will suddenly abandon its conser-
vative attitude, purchases being still re-
stricted largely to such needs as are
clearly discerned, but there is evidence
of a growing disposition to provide for
more remote requirements. In many
lines, particularly dry goods, stocks have
been reduced much below normal, and
fall shipments are expanding in a healthy
manner"
