Per Canitn Cost of Government.

Democrats are circulating the state
ment that the per capita cost of main
tanning the government Of the United
States is greater than in any other one
of the leading countries. This is not
true. In New Zealand, the cost of gov
eminent to each inha hitant is highest.
Il is $3S.3S. In Australia it is $3.50:
in the United Kingdom, $3.50; in
France, S17.S4; Belgium, $17.40; Para

Parker and the Trusts.

Trust magnates having furnished the
funds to carry on Parker's campaign.
will now be relocated to the rear. How.
ever, Cord Meyer of the sugar trust and
other representatives Of grasping corpo-
rations have such hold on the Demo.
cratic candidate that they will continue
to control him. Their RELOCATION to the
rear is merely a blind to deceive the
people. When Parker visited New York
he told his managers he did not wish
his remarks on the trusts "queered," and
that during the remainder of the cam
paign the magnates who have been pa
rading and jubilating over his nonina-
ton should be less open in their demon
STATIONS of joy. He further said he
could not get close to the people as long
as the trust magnates openly shouted for
him. What the judge meant was that
his wealthy sponsors should keep dark
until after election. when they could
come to the front again.

Mr.. FAIRBANKS LETTER.
Clear ard Effective Statement Oh
Republican Principles.

republican Principles.
Senator Fa;rbanks's letter of accept
ance is a document which appeals direct
ly to the business men and workers gem
orally. 1t states clearly some of the most
important, but perhaps not sufficiently
understood, tenets of the Republican
party in its conflict with Democracy.
In calling attention to the service done
to the entire country by the establish
ment of the Bureau of Commerce and
Labor, with a special department to deal
with corporations, the Senator points out
the first real attempt by the government
to deal with the trust problem. He clear
~ sees that the regulation of the great
combinations of capital by law is pos
SlbIe. is necessary. and he shows the
consistent course of the Republican party
in this regard.
As 20 our foreign policy Senator Fair
banks rightly considers that we have
much to be proud of in the firm, conser-
yative and thoroughly broad and Chris
tian policy which has been adhered to
during the years Of Republican admins
tration. The tremendous expansion in
our trade, our foreign interests and in
tluence has been accomplished by peace
has appeared upon our horizon in the
years following the establishment of new
National relations or our acquisition Of
vast territory in the far East.
In his enunciation of the Republican
idea Of the desirability of closer trade
relations with our great neighbor. Can
ada, the candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency is peculiarly happy. He is plainly
for liberal movement for reciprocity
between this country and the people just
over the line to the north He also
emphasizes the value of the open door,
secured for US in China, and promises a
continuance Of the benefits of that re-
suit of our recent foreign policy.
As a whole. the letter of the Vice Pres
idential candidate is a strong paper. ono
which commands respect and confidence.
Senator Fairbanks is meeting the Ameri-
can people face TO face. from one end
of the country to the other in his very
lively campaign. 1t is well, however, to
have in hand his written opinions and
aspirations as a public man on the great
questions at issue at this moment.

Eindictive Treatment of the Pros
neritY Goose.


The Democratic party during those
four years acted as if it deliberately
sought to kill the goose that lays the
golden egg of prosperity. 1t was a case
of give the goose a hit in the head with
big stick, then in order to ward off
any returning signs of animation. a more
severe hit, this time in the heart: and
then, lest there should be a few sparks
of vitality left, a violent kick with the
foot, and then another, and then another.
And there is nothing in the Democratic
platform this year. or in the personal
records Of the Democratic candidates.
Messrs. Parker and Davis, to suggest
that the Democratic party would not
again attempt the killing of the prosper
ity goose if it got the chance.
The Democrats want reduction in the
tariff, but unless they should pursue a
niggardly, drastic policy of cutting down
present expenditures in furtherance Of
the honor and prosperity of the nation.
they would need every bit of the present
revenues from the tariff to make both
ends meet. However, even by pursu-
ing policy of ultra niSgardliness in ex-
penditures for the public good. extrav.
agance in other ways, coupled with their
tariff revision policy, would probably
more than neutralize such saving and
necessitate large bond issues. Why should
the intelligent voters of the United
States give the Democratic party the
slightest chance to allow history to re-
peat itself in another doleful chapter of
incompetence, scandal, business disaster
and hard times for all classes of people:

except that Davis has been a protection
ist when protection to himself through
high tariff on coal was involved. But
as regards free silver, neither of them
showed the moral strength that Cleve-
land showed in trying to prevent the
prosperity Of the country from being ut
terly crushed-for while Cleveland
fought free silver, and fought it hard.
Parker and Davis both voted for it.

The Stone Instead of the Loaf.

Ac VAe SluEte IIoutT bl It4-tl from
the Wilson bill deficit during the entire
session of the Fifty-third Congress. Dem
ocratic in both branches, was a bill d.
recting the treasury to coin and use the
SoJ,OOOOO0 ''seigniorage" theoretically
acquired by the government in buying
silver at the market price and paying it
out in over-valued silver dollars.
This bill was case of offering to the
financially distressed nation stone
when a loaf was asked for, for with the
gold reserve crumbling to pieces owing
to the increasing desire Of persons APP
pretending a slump to the silver basis
to exchange paper and silver money for
gold, and owing to the entertainments of
the government itself upon the gold re
serve because of the increasing deficit.
1t was obviously a case of trying to sup
ply the straw to break the camel's back
to furnish this additional load of silver
for the gold reserve to carry at a parity
with gold.
But what did the Democratic Con
gress care if the seigniorage bill was to
further damage the credit of the cOun-
try! Never for a moment did the Dem
ocrats care to 60 back on free trade,
even to prevent a deficit in the treas
ury, and never for moment did they
care to 90 back on free silver, even to
prevent the fatal consequences to the
national credit that the increasing deficit
involved.
The seigniorage bill, however, was for
tunately vetoed by President Cleveland.
Who on the silver question at least was
right while his party was wrong, and to
whom credit is due for refusing to CON
cede anything to the free silver senti-
ment during the same period when Al
ton B. Parker and Henry G.. Davis were
both actively aiding and abetting free
silver with their money and with their
votes.
