Domestic Manufactures.

The exports of domestic manufac-
lures from The United States have
grown from SAC, 345,S92 in 1860 to $403,-
641,4O1 in 1902. Nearly all of this
growth was under Republican admins
trations. Since 1899 the expectation
of manufactures has averaged over
$500, 100000 per annum, being more
than twice as much as in any year
prior to 1896, four times as much as
in any year prior to 1877, and ten
times as much as in any year prio"
to 1867. Could there be a stronger
argument in favor of Republican poll
cies than that afforded by these fig
ureS?

Lacking material from which to
create issues upon the past and pres
ent conduct of the Republican party,
the Democrats have been taking a long
and soulful look into the future this
fall, and their reports Of what they

But nobody is scared. The dreamer
alone is disturbed by his nightmare.

The Rock Of Protection.

The foreign commerce of the United
States in the fiscal year 1902 was larg-
er than in any year of its history eX-
cept 1901-both of them Republican
years Compared with 1901 there was
a reduction in 1902 of S106,045, 500 in
exports, and an increase Of $50, 49,
7S3 in imports. The reduction in ex,
in the corn crop of 1901, the reduction
in the price of cotton, and an unusual
home demand for iron and steel manu-
features
The shortage in the corn crop of
1901, due to drought, reduced the corn
expectations in 1901 151,1S1,413 bush
els below those of 1901. and caused a
reduction of S66,342310 in the value
of corn expectations. The exports of
cotton fell off So, O2 !, 1874 in 1902 over
1901. and those of iron and steel fell
off S18, 766,75S. owing to the home de
mand
But these unfavorable items, due to
causes easily understood, were more
than compensated by increased exports
in other items and by largely increased
imports of raw materials for manufac-
turing. The latter item amounted to
S415.151,S 74 This, is largely in excess
of similar importations in any preced-
ing year in our history, and shows that
even a failure of the corn crop cannot
affect prosperity that is founded on
the solid rock of Republican protec-
ton.

Sympathy for Parker.

Possibly some Democrats may want
t. vote for Parker because they would
feel very sorry tor him in the event OF
his defeat. But it is a matter OF com
mon gossip in New York that Parker,
if not elected president, is to have Il
fat job anyway; that in fact he has
already been offered by August Bel
Esont the position of counsel Of the
marlborough Transit railway at. sal
airy of $4,000 a year, the same salary
he would get as president of the Unit
ed States, and that in this position he
may also do outside legal work as
member of a law firm to consist OF
Hill, Sheehan and Parker. In any
event Mr.. Parker has secured fine
advertisement for himself by his can
didacy for president, SO that there will
be no danger whatever of his not be-
ing able to earn a good living in pr1-
vate life by the practice of law. 1t
would seem to be better for Mr.. Par
ker to get $4,000 per year from Mr..
Belmont as direct counsel for that
gentleman, than to get $4,000 per
year from the United States govern
ment for official services that may be
largely influenced by the suggestions
of Mr.. Belmont, who is in the trusts
neck high, and who once organized
syndicate which got a rake-Off of near

In the minds of voters the personal
prosperity of thousands of Americans
who would be adversely affected by
Democratic victory should count tor
more than sympathy for the Democrat
1c candidate; who will doubtless con-
tinue to- grow personally more pros
porous, Notwithstanding a disappoint-
nent in his presidential aspirations.

THE DEMOCRATIC MIXTURE
omaZing Spectacle Presented by Once
Great Iarty.

Great Farty.
The Democratic party, while en-
aged in trying to lift itself into pow
er by its own boot-straps, is an inter
eSting and amazing spectacle. Its con-
trasts, contra dictions and compromises
are picturesque.
First. look at it's leaders and their
peculiar ties. There is Parker, the neu-
trail in IDEAS and convictions, the active
Cleveland. with his present pose Of
conservatism and time favored doc
trineS. A direct opposite is Tillman, the
f1ambOyant mOuntebank. half savage,
half clowns. And to give variety, there
is HILL the cold, selfish autOcrat of the
Empire State Democracy, not a hair of
whose political head is honest Con-
trasting him is Bryan, the majestic
talking machine, inpassioned, san
guine, and equally crafty politician Of
the west. 1t is a ten-ringed circus for
dazzling displays of contrasts. One
thought. one purpose alone, animates
this heterogeneous crowd: TO get into
power.
Back of them there are no principles,
nor even interests. upon which they
are agreed. Parker is Mr.. Facing
BOth-Ways. Cleveland is a Mr.. Fac
ing Backwards. Tillman is a. sufferer
from negrophobia, Hill a believer in
the gold standard, and Bryan the apos-
tie Of free silver. Sheehan and his
kind are but devotees of Tammany, the
most corrupt political organization in
the world
Cam any man believe that these lead
ers, with the rank and file which fol-
lows them torn into still more factions,
can win a national election without
single national issue to bring before
the people? What can be their fate
at the polls?
The whole mass CT retrospection, in
competency, dishonesty and weakness
known as Democracy is doomed to de-
served disappointment this fall Slowly
recognizing, it must secure to itself
set of principles. something to live for,
something to work for, before it can
command the allegiance of even one
fourth of the people OF the United
States.

An Extravagant Outlay.

Talking about the alleged extrava-
gance of the war department under
Republican rule, Judge Taft reminds
the Atlantic seab0ard that one item in
the increase of recent expenditures has
been the guns to effectually protest
the great harbors of the east. In Mr..
Cleveland's day there was just one
gun mounted along the Whole line of
the Atlantic coast from Maine to the
Florida KEYS.

1t used to be said of President Har-
rison that when one saw him close at
hand he seemed larger than he seemed
at distance Of Grover Cleveland it
was said that he was much more i'm
pressive at a distance than he was
close at hand. President Roosevelt is
the same seen near or seen far-always
alert and wide awake, always energet-
ic and busy, always doing something
and accomplishing results, always mas
ter of the situation This is the kind Of
man the people like. He has made a
great president, and it would be rank
ingratitude on the part .of the people
not to re-elect him.

Day after day the New York Times.
the New York World and the Brooklyn
Cortelyou has eXtorted contributions
from wealthy business enterprises on
pledges redeemable on the election
of President Roosevelt They have
been urged and challenged to name
single concrete case and have replied
by merely reiterating the SANDER. AS
a result the unfounded charge is recoil-
ing upon its inventors with the proper
effect of impairing their credibility on
every issue of the campaign.

The man who advocates the destruc-
ton of all trusts and corporations is a
political quack and demagogue. Large
corporations employ hundreds of
thousands of men. To destroy them
men out of employment. The thing to
do is to enforce the laws against cor
porations and trusts which are violat-
ing them and thus put all on law
obeying basis. That has been Presi-
dent Roosevelt's policy and will CON
tinue to be.

Everybody profits by the growth of
manufactures Those who are engag ed
in the business either as capitalists or
wage earners profit first of all, but in
addition to these are the merchants
who handle manufactured products,
the railroads that distribute them. the
farmers who enjoy an increased de-
mand for their products. and all other
classes who share in general prosper
ity.

1t is particularly distressing to the
Democrats to have Judge LOchren of

That the governments expenses are

Washington, April 15.-The Japa-
nese minister gave a dinner Monday
night, followed by reception in honor
OF the imperial commissioners Of the
mlkadO to the worlds fair.
Mr.. Takahira invited everyone in
the diplomatic corps, and, of course,
Count Cassini, who is the dean, was
included. He promptly sent regrets
for himself and his daughter, and the
members of the staff followed the ex-
ample of their chief.
: : The secretary Of state and Mrs. Hay
had. cards out for a, dinner Friday, and
it was originally the intention to ask
been omitted from this dinner where
will be the guest of honor, and will
following Friday.
Socia! intercourse is quite compli-
Gated just at present, and the men,
bers of the foreign colony are de-
cidedly uncomfortable. 81
Two attaches of the mikado's lega-
ton called on Mr.. Hay while Countess
Cassini was being entertained by Mrs.
Hay and Mrs. Wadsworth, her daugh-
ter. The young men did not recover
their eomposure even when the coun-
tess gracefully extended her hand and
1aughingIy told them she was not
armed.
The members of the stats do not
exchange the slightest civilities when
they meet, and at the various clubs
there are many tales of awkward Oc-
currences.
