Two Things Parker VIII Learn.

Candidate Parker is unable to inter
est the people of the United States. He
knows nothing of the people, nothing
of what they are, what they think OF
what they want. One thing, though
he is going to learn, one thing that
they DO NOT WANT: that is, Alton
b. Parker for president And at the
same time he is going to find out that
the man they do want is Theodore
Roosevelt

nnmnestIo Manufactures.

The exports of domestic mauufac.
lures from the United States have
grown from SAC, 345, S92 In 1860 to $403,-
641, 401 in 1902. Nearly all OF this
growth was under Republican admins
trations. Since 1899 the expectation
Of manufactures has averaged over
$400,000,000 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 prior
to 1867. Could there be stronger
argument in favor of Republican poll
cies than that afforded by these fig
ures?

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 1t
was said that he was much more inn
pressiye at 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.

THE DEMOCRATIC MIXTURE
Amazing Spectacle Presented by u Once
Great Party,

The Democratic party, while en-.
gagged in trying TO lift itself into pow.
er by its own boot-straps, is an inter
esting and amazing spectacle. Its con.
trastS, contradictions and compromises
are picturesque.
First, look at its leaders and their
pecularities. There is Parker, the neu.
trail in ideas and convictions, the active
practical schemer. Then President
Cleveland, with his present pose OF
conservatism and time favored doc
trines. A direct opposite is Tllman, the
fiamboyant mountebank, half savage,
half clown. 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, impassioned SAN
guine, and equally crafty politician of
the west. 1t is 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 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 national election without a
single national issue to bring before
the people? What can be their fate
at the polls?
The whole mass Of retrospection, in
competency, dishonesty and weakness
known as Democracy is doomed to de-
served disappointment this fall. Slowly
reorganizing, it must secure to itself IL
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

Buying from Abroad.

The less the United States. through
a protective tariff, imports of the
things that its own labor ut home can
manufacture just as well as foreign
ers, the more it is able to import Of
necessarIes and luXuries that cannot lie
purchased at home. The consumption
of coffee per capita in the Ihitnd
States, which in 1890 was eight
pounds, is now twelve pounds. our
imports of sugar, teas, spices. silks,
laces, etc, have increased consider.
ably during the last eight years, With
the American workingman sure of
a good home market for what he
produces, it goes almost without
saying that lie will have enough
money to buy for himself foreign
luxuries that he could not dream of
having in Democratic times.

Parker Is growing wilder as election
day approaches. He now says the
Philippines have cost the United States
$1,200,000,000. Secretary of War Taft,
who was governor general of the Phil
ippines, officially puts the total cost,
including purchase money, at $780,
100000. The question naturally arises:
Is Parker either safe or sane when he
can juggle figures in such an amazing
way!

The People Know and Trust Roosevelt.

1t is fortunate for the Republican
party that its candidate for the presi.
dency is so well known to the people
of the United States that no story, no
reection upon his character or his work
reflection upon his character or his
work affects the public mind in the
slightest degree. The American peo-
pie have had their eyes on President
Roosevelt for many years; they know
him. They respect and trust him. The
falsifcations of the enemy against him
are useless.

Cortelyou has extorted contributions
from wealthy business enterprises on
pledges redeemable on the election

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
would be to throw an army of work
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 a law
obeying basis. That has been Presi-
dent Roosevelt's policy and will con-
kinue to be.
