"TeIegramu Not FooIed.

The New York Evening Telegram
declines to be fooled by the absurd
boastings of the inspired organs of the
6. o. p. Not only does this enterpris-
ing and wide-awake independent news
paper refuse to credit these improb-
able yarns. but it actually prints a
map showing the political situation as
it appears to be to-day to impartial
observers. The only absolutely certain
Roosevelt territory, according to the
Telegram, is New England and a part
of the Middle West. Perhaps the Tel
egram errs in not giving the Republl-
cans a better show on the Pacific
Coast. but with this exception, its prog
nostications may not be so far out of
the way.

ROUsEs SUSPICION.
Everlasting Habit OF Republicans of
Grasping Credit For All Good.

Claiming all virtues for the Repub-
lican party. and telling what I'VE"
have done does not stop criticism. but,
rather. tends to arouse suspicion that
the charges made against Republican
policies and practice cannot be dis
proved. That the tariff-fostered trusts
are plundering the people by greatly
increasing the cost of living is too pat
ent for n bold denial to count with n
voter, who is paying from thirty to
forty per cent. more for necessaries of
living than in 1897.
Claiming that wages have been ad-
vanced at the same ratio as the cost
of living will not convince the work
man that has had his wages reduced
that prosperity is rampant, although
Roosevelt may boast and Fairbanks
smilingly may say so.
Standing pat may suit the trusts, but
claiming that everything is so IA
vorable under Republican policies that
no change is needed is poor consolation
for those who find themselves being
plundered by the trusts. with their in
come standing still so that their abil-
ity to pay has decreased one-third. 1t
is easy TO claim. but difficult to eN-
plain when the facts are against you.

Shows enc Fraud OF n.

How the tariff operates and the
trusts give our own people the worst of
1t can hardly be better illustrated than
In the case of steel rails sold in Can
ada and the United States. There is
a railway which runs along the border
between the two countries, sometimes
in its course being on this side and
sometimes across the border. 1t is re-
markable that rails for use on the
Canadian part of the railway are sold
for $21 ton, while those for use on
the American side cost the same road
$2S a ton. This a.: the case of one
road The New York Central is an
other railway which has to undergo
the same experience illustrative of the
inequalities of the protective tariff
system, and how it operates against
the very people it proposes q protect.

HIT A SORE SPOT.
Discrimination Against Home Buyers
and Fayoring Foreigners.

The Democratic charge that the
American people are paying higher
prices for articles of domestic manu-
facture than are paid by foreigners for
identical articles exported from the
United States has hit the g. o. p. in
a sore spot. This subject is gone into
very thoroughly in the Democratic
Campaign book. where II If shown that
Americans are compelled to paw from
ten TO thirty per cent. more for articles
made in this country by protected"
manufacturers. than is maid by Euro
Deans and Asiatics for identicallv the
same articles made here and shipned
abroad. Many instances of such dis
elimination against our home people
are cited. particularly in the lines of
agricultural implements and builders
hardware
To break the force of this charge the
State Department prints a string of
statements made by American Con-
suls in Euronenn countries. in which
1t is alleged that manufacturers in
England and Germany also sell manu-
featured articles abroad cheaper than
statements We're mt forth under orders
from the Administration. and that little
care was taken 70 have them accurate.
Rut even IL it he .true that European
manufacturers sell their "surplus odds
and ends abroad at reduced prices.
ms one Consul says they do. of what
interest is that 70 the average Ameri-
can who is held mp bv our "protect-
ed" manufacturers and comnelled TO
nay, not for "odds ard ends" hut for
his farming tools and implements. his
engines and machinery. and scores of
other articles. from fen to thirty per
cent. more than his European brother
has tn nay to the same manufacturer
for like articles?
The American people are not COM
plaining because manufacturers ship
their "odds and ends to foreign coun-
tries and sell them Mt low prices. Their
complaint is that they are discriminate
cd against in favor of the foreigner:
that they are being robbed right and
left by manufacturers who shield
themselves behind the Dingley tariff.

Letter.

distinctly devoted to the interests of

hearty approval of Judge Park

pressed in his letter of acceptance.
These papers are the Journal of Com

what is has to say of the letter may not
be as significant as are the utterances
of the Commercial. which also is an
independent journal, but with incIiu-
atoms toward Republicanism. The
Commercial expresses its appreciation
of the letter, as a whole. calling #
"dignified. temperate and conserva-

THE WAR WITH SPAIN.
Hypocrisy Of a New England Rs9ub
Z lican Platform.

For sublime effrontery and unblush-
Ing falsehood, il would be hard to beat
this declaration which appears in the
platform of the New Hampshire Re-
publicans: The Republican party,
since it was restored to power. has
fought n successful war with Spain.'
1t is matter OF history that the Nc
Kiniey Administration did everything
in its power to avoid a war with Spain,
but was forced to undertake IT be-
cause of the popular agitation in favor
of II. which was shared alike by Dem
Ocrat'. and Republicans IN Congress
and by the press OF 10th parties. In
its inception the war was entirely
just. There were ut least as many
Democrats as Republicans actively
engaged in II. and the decisive blows
at Manila and Santiago were struck
by Dewey and Schley, both of whom
are Democrats.
For what has been done In Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines since
the war was brought TO a successful
conclusion, the Republican party is
welcome to assume the responsibility.
These include the negotiation of
treaty with Cuba, which has helped
TO make the Cubans our enemies rath-
er than our friends; the subsection OF
the Filipinos, who were struggling he-i
roicaIly for freedom. and who were oar
allies in driving Spain from the ISL
ands; the trampling under foot of the
Declaration of Independence and the
buncoing OF the people of Porto Rico.
who are now In n worse plighp ia
