Fifteen million tons of wind collected in

Thirty billion pounds of words assembled

In reams and quires;
He who desires
May utilize this rhetoric to light his win

Fifteen million tons of: "Sirs, point

Thirty billion pounds of: "Ha! Your

And "l1orny-handed sons of toll in vii

Thirty billion pounds of air-the kind
that's known as hot"
Yet that will wane
In this campaign
And leave million faults that none will

Fifteen million tons of talk that no one

Thirty billion pounds of superheated at

PARTY POLITICS.
Striking Contrasts Revealed by a Study
of Official Reports.

Striking Contrasts Revealed by a Study
of Official Reports.
Official reports show that protective
tariffs have been in operation i'll the
United States during practically One-half
of the one hundred and fifteen years
since the adoption of the Constitution
Official statistics show that during fifty
nine years of low tariff there were but
ten years in which the exports of the
country were as great as the imports,
and that during the entire ffty-nine
years Of low tariffs the total excess of
imports over exports was S515, 900, 600
A study of the commerce of the prOtec-
tive years shows that exports exceeded
imports in twenty-seven of the fifty two
protective years, and that the net excess
of exports over imports during that time
was $1,000, 100000
To state it in different form, low tariffs
in tifty-nine years Of operation show a
net excess Of imports over exports Of
$515, 600, coo, while protective tariffs in
fifty-two years of operation, show a net
excess of exports over imports Of 81,
500, 600 600 The protective tariffs Of
fifty-two years have paid the commercial
debts of the ffty-nine years Of low tar
ifs, amounting to $515,000,000, and, in
addition, placed $2,500,000,000 to the
credit of our export trade.
Another striking example OF the
growth of our export trade under pro
tective tariff is found i'll the fact that
the excess of exports over imports liz
the first three years Of President Nc
Kinley's term was nearly four times as
much as the entire excess Of exports over
imports from 1870 to the beginning of
the Mckinley administration. From
1870 to March /, 1897, the excess Of
exports over imports was 1888, OPS, 407 :
from March l, 1897, to March ]. 1900.
the excess of exports over imports was
81 ,483, 537 ,049.
A comparison Of these figures shows
the relative effects Of Republican pro-
lection and Democratic free trade or low
tariffs on the revenues of the government
| and the prosperity of the country.

OUR "WAR LORD.

A WAR Lord? Yes or course we
have; but by "War Lord" is meant
The sort Of man who rends path good
for continent;
Who makes n highway for its work, one
who, without fear,
Grips situations-cleayes way across a
hemisphere!
Our "War Lord cares for time nor
space.
Just as the Oceans long,
He joins them And we lead the race!
The race that's to the strong.
Our "War Lord" holds the Oceans track
Clean to the Orient,
That we may feed where millions lack;
Where lands and men are spent.
Our 'War Lod" dams the mountain
streams,
Makes true the thought of those
Who thought the desert. in their dreams,
Might blossom like the rose.
Our "War lord" is man OF strength,
A patriotic man,
But where he'll go in, to what great
length
Well-hes American!
But, rest assured, our "War Lords"
wise;
He'll know when to release
The whip upon each enterprise
Our WAR Lords" one OF Peace.

ROOSEVELT is RIGHT.
Philippine Policy Upheld
by w. II. Hearst.
TChicago American, Dem.

OulcdSO I6llI'I
Theodore Roosevelt tells the men of
the Grand Army of the Republic, assem-
bled in Boston, that the United States is
going to hold on to the Philippine ISL
ands, and that the work done there will
not be blamed"
Mr.. Roosevelt is right. The people Of
the United States, when they took the
Philippines assumed the responsibility,
not only for the present but for the
future, for a good many millions of hui
man beings and a large slice Of the
earth's surface.
Laws which are good here must be
good in the Philippines, and they will be
applied there. That which is progress
here must be progress in the philippines,
and it will be developed there.
The United States will not back out
and invite the Philippines to fight it out
among themselves, leaving the savages
to fall to slashing each other and the
half-breeds to plotting and selling each
other out. 1t would be the simplest way
cut of it, and the most cowardly That
will not be the American way.
The American people do not want any
imperialism, but they do want expansion,
and they have always had it. Tney are
not going to back out of an undertaking,
either on foolishly sentimental or con-
veniently cowardly grounds. They will
do the work they have undertaken IN the
Philippines, educating the people there
and, incidentally, educating themselves
in the process.

p1atforn, Doc Not show ID.

The last authoritative expression OF
the National Democratic party OH the
money issue was in 1900, when it rcaf-
firmed its demand Of 1896 for 'the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver at tl,D
ratio of IL to /. without waiting for the
aid or consent Of any other nation" If
the Democratic party has changed it's
mind on the money issue since 1900, the
platform OF 1904 does not show it. A
plank stating that the present standard
of value was mo longer open to question"
was proposed by Mr.. Williams in com
mittec, hut it was VOTED DOWN By
THE DECISIVE VOTE OF 30 to -.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1904-09-08

In 1895 free silver was the PARA
MOUNT issue according to the Demo
Gratis.
In 1900 Imperialism had become the
PARAMOUNT and burning issue"
nevertheless free silver was still tan
TAMOUNT'' to what it was in 1900.
In 1904 the Democratic convention
wired to Mr.. Parker, 1--WE do not con-
slider the money standard to be an issue
of this campaign"
Thus free silver, which fell from para
mountcy in 1896 to tantamountcy in
1900, has now struck the ground with
such a hard thud that it is simply too
delicate to be mentioned.

His Coat of Arms.

The Democratic presidential candidate
has a coat of arms. That fact has al
ready been somewhat exploited and may,
for the moment, pass. The main fact,
which seems to be that, considering his
relations with Tammany, his relations
with Bryan and the old silver party, his
extremely distant relations with Cleve-
land and his group, and lot of other
things, ex-Judge Parker seems. instead
Of being in possession of old-fashioned
heraldic coat OF arms, to be the owner
OF a coat Of many colors. Really, thu
Judge, who seems to be possessed OF
quite a sense of courtesy, ought to apollo
gize to Joseph of Bible history.

New York World, Radical Dem. ]

New York World, Radical Dem.
One of the chief reasons given by Re
publicanS of this city for their support
of Roosevelt is his position on the money
question. That is made clear by the
answers which the World is receiving to
the note which it has addressed to the
business men who took part in the
Sound Money Parade" here in 1896,
asking them to state their present presi-
Dental preferences.
A large proportion OF the Republicans
who have given their reasons-more than
tWo-thirds so far-have named sound
money as one of the concerns uppermost
in their minds. Over one-half of the Re-
publicans put the money question above
everything else. Here are some quota
tons from answers from Republicans:
George A. Vail-Sound money and
Theodore Roosevelt.
H. III. Royce-The present administra-
ton is sound on money Panama and
the Philippines.
4. G. Ayers and +. j. PeRneck--
Roosevelt is the only candidate who
stands for sound money, progress and
true Americanism.
Thomas j. Atkins am still a sound
money man, and to be sure that will
make no mistake l shall vote for Roose-
welt.
George T. Boggs-I am still for sound
money and the policy OF the present ad-
ministration as carried out by our Presi-
dent.
George d. Perkins-Always sound
money, always Republican.
William Bishop an still for sound
money and Roosevelt.
John j. ToWer-For sound money still
l shall vote for Roosevelt.
Happen & Personals we believe that
sound money requires a more subStan-
tial assurance than a telegram from the
candidate of a great party to the effect
that the gold basis is already established
we are earnest supporters of Roosevelt
and Fairbanks.
Henry Clews-With the Republican
party in power we are sure of sound
money.
Frank A. Ferris-Now, as then. and
all the time for sound money reason
able protection, with efficient control Of
trusts.
X. G. McKinney-While Judge Parker
has accepted the fact that the gold
standard is irrevocably fixed, his party
has not.
Thomas III. Baskerville shall vote
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks for the
reason that they believe in sound money
On principle, while their opponents have
simply taken up sound money for polit-
zeal expediency.
w. NJ. Seymour-Sound money is an
issue. If not, why did it take so long at
st. Louis to find it out?
Walter L. PIERCE shall vote for

Democracy and the Money Question,

Alton b. Parker wired the convention
that 1.-The gold standard was irrevocably
established by law" after the committee
which was dominated by Mr.. Parker's
special political manager, David B. Hill,
had already voted down, 30 to Is, q
plank that said the standard was mo
longer open to question" Thus the
Democratic party, as represented by its
platform in committee, is in majority
of over two to one in thinking that the
standard is ''open to question notwith-
standing that its presidential candidate
says it is ''irrevocably established by
law" If over half of the Democratic
party thinks the standard still ''open to
question" what assurance is there that
if this party should control both branches
of Congress the standard would not be
''open to question:

Parker,s Support of Bryan.

Alton B. Parker and Henry u. Davis
both say that 1.-The gold standard is ire
vocably established by law" But there
is no law of the United States which
cannot be repealed if Congress and the
President agree on its repeal, Parker
in 1896 and 1900 supported Bryan for
the presidency, and thereby aided the at
tempt of the Democratic party to discs
tablish the gold standard and put the
country on a silver basis.

Nothing to Say.

The Democratic party does not now
deny that it Numbered grossly in de-
handing free silver in 1896 anG in 1900.
It's leaders do not, however, care to open

knightliest Figure in American Poll

[Jacob Riis on Roosevelt, the Man."
in Review of Reviews, August, 1901
A man with red blood in his veins, a
healthy patriot, with no clap-trap jingo-
ism about him, but rugged belief in
America and its mission, an intense low
or of country and flag, vigorous optim-
list, believer in men, who looks for the
good in them and finds it. Practical in
partisanship, loyal, trusting and gentle
as a friend; unselish, modest as a wom-
an, clean-handed and clean-hearted, and
honest to the core. In the splendid vigor
of his young manhood he is the knightli-
est figure in American politics to-day
the fttest exponent of his country's idea,
and the model for it's young sons who
are coming to take up the task he set
