these escapades from public view, in
order to shield them, 1t will only have
a tendency to increase crime and i'm.
morality, and believe that It is best

downward path or are connected with

deferred from pursuing the wrong
path.
Public sentiment must be turned
against these fatal and disgusting af-

out a typewriter statement denying Z
story printed in the New York Wsril
to the effect to j. Pierpont Morgan Aaa
recently held conferences with Ma
Roosevelt concerning the campaign. r
is as follows:

One paper comments upon the unusua

UNLIKE DEMOCRATS
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF
REPUBLICANS NEVER SHADY.
sale OF Philippine Donds to q Wsstern
Rank, the Highest Bidder - Demo-
cratic Deal with the Belmont
Syndicate Riddled.

The fourth installment Of the $3,OOO,-
VO OF Philippine bonds was taken At
N1.41 by the Western National Bank
OF Oklahoma City, whose bid for the
bonds was the highest. The fact that q
western bank should outbid leading insti-
tutions of Wall street for these bonds
suggests how the West Is rapidly gaining
i'll financial power and Importance. No
western bank would have dared to bid
for such large issue of bonds without
being perfectly satisfied that it could ind
q broad market for them amongst local
investors. The old financial problem Of
the West was to get money from the
East. The present problem Of the West
is to find good channels for the invest
ment OF its own money.
BY transaction such as this We find
investors in the Southwest become cred
itors Of the Philippine Islands. la other
words, they are loaning some Of the
fruits OF their own prosperity under Re
publican rule to help along the prosperity
Of our nations wards in the Philippines
The security which United States gev-
ernment over the Philippines gives to
lives and property, trade and industry,
makes the credit of the islands good, so
that investors are quite willing to pay 4
premium for Philippine bonds. II the
United States government were not SOW
ereign over the Philippines, it is a ques-
ton whether the islands would be able
to float bonds even at a discount, hence
many needed improvements for the isl
ands could not be carried out. Were
the Democratic party to be successful
in the election this fall, the owners Of
Philippine bonds would doubtless see q
quick slump in their market value.
Notorious Democratic Deal.
1t Is the Republican policy in the case
| Of necessary issues of bonds, like the war
loan Of 1898 and this Philippine bond
| issue, to sell the bonds by popular sub
scription or by public competitive bid
ding for them. This gives the whole peo-
| pie an equal chance, and all sections of
the country an equal chance, to secure
them for investment and to realize what
ever profit their ultimate appreciation
may bring. Under the Democratic plan,
as followed out during the last Cleveland
administration, the government ignored
the small investors, and had no use for
any financial institution west Of Wal
street.
For instance, ON Feb. 18, 1895, the
Democratic Secretary of the Treasury
signed a contract with a New York syn
dicate for the selling Of $62 2,315, 400 foul
per cent bonds. These bonds the syndi
cate sold to the public for $65, 116, pa
clearing a profit for itself, out of the
transaction, Of nearly $3,OO0,OOO. The
price at which the bonds were sold te
the syndicate was equivalent to 1O4h
when the existing United States four pei
cent bonds, with less than half as Ions
time to run, were bringing III on thu
market. The syndicate dictated to thu
government the terms of the deal. ONF
OF THE MEM BERS OF THAT SYN
DICATE, AUGUST BELMONT, Is

OF Course Not.

David B. Hill stated, in one Of his
speeches, that Mr.. Roosevelt, on taking
the oath of oflce after the death OF
President Mckinley, said that he would
not be a candidate for President in 1904.
President Roosevelt has never made
promise as to his own personal action
which he did not redeem. The President
is outspoken, fair and square. These
are characteristics Of the man. He
makes no promises he does not intend to
keep. and he keeps such as he makes.
The silly story started by Hill had nc
foundation in fact, and Vt is really moi
worth the ink and paper that has been
used in denying it, except that it once
more marks the character Of Hill.

why ALL'S WELL IN KANSAS.
II IL Because Of Sound Money and the
Protective Policy.

fTOteCt1Ve IOllCys
Few people realize how or why the
condition of Kansas is watched with
such solicitude throughout the country
especially in the Western States.
The fact is indisputable that there is
something about it's climate, the mer-
curial disposition of it's people and the
conditions Of life in Kansas that make
it a sort Of barometer for the rest of the
republic. When there is anything seri-
ous the matter with Kansas it is GER
tain that all is not exactly right with
her neighbors. When there Is a drouth
in Kansas there is apt to be a mighty
thirst in all the region west Of the Mis-
sissippi. When the rains and sunshine
bless Kansas with bountiful harvests
and the cyclone and grasshopper give her
wide berth, the fatness is apt to extend
beyond her borders and fill the land with
reason for rejoicings and content.
When Providence frowns on Kansas
the heart Of the nation is usually sorrow
ful for her-and for itself.
When Providence smiles on Kansas
the rest Of US generally bid au revoir to
melancholy.
Therefore Senator Fairbanks did well,
In opening the Republican campaign at
Marion, Kan, Sept l, to remind his au-
ditors Of the change that had come over
their prospects since the days when the
whole land rang with the cry, Whats
the matter with KansasY Happily he
was able to proclaim, il not from the
house tops, at least to the telegraph op-
orators for dissemination throughout the
nation, that @All's well in Kansas"
Swiftly he drew the picture of the con-
ditions as they existed eight years ago
kansas was suffering from the effects
Of Democratic administration. The in
tcrests of her agriculture languished Hel
crops rOtted in the field or were market
| ed at unremunerated prices" And mucl
| more to the same effect. Then he point
ed to the prosperity OF the present. with
out need to recapitulate the blessings
that good crops, good prices, good govern
ment and sound money showered upon
Kansas as from an exhaustless urn
During the last seven years." he said,
mo one has shared the prosperity which
has come to the country in a fuller de
gree than the farmers of Kansas" And
he illustrated the prosperity of the State
by the increase in her bank deposits
"from $33 100000 in 1895 to over $50,
600. 600 in 1903" As a matter of exac'
record it might be we'll to say that tn,
bank deposits in Kansas increased from
$40. $40, ,4S7 in 1895 to $S4.O55. 40, OIL
lSO per cent, while those Of the Who'll,
country increased from so3l .82S, ,339 t.
$.4O. .649. .7O2, or slightly under 134 pei
cent.
Would the reader know how all thi'
wonderful prosperity came to Kansas
1t was through her own industry ssimu
lated and protected by the sound econ
omic and monetary policies of the Re
publican party.

Average wages of farm laborers in the
United States
Per six months

1t will be perceived that tho average
rate paid in the United States in 1902
for six months is within SLIGO of the
maximum rate paid to the best farm
hands in Great Britain in May, 1904, and
almost double the minimum paid second
class men.
The figures Of our Department Of Ag-
riculture, moreover, apply only to those
laborers hired by the year or season, the
rates where the engagement is by the
day are very much higher, being SO
cents per day, with board, and $1.13
without, in 1902, against 03 cents with,
and 81 cents without board, In 1894.
This would make the pay, with board.
In 1894, average $94.5O for 4 half year
OF 80 days, while the average compen-
sation of the American farm laborer paid
by the day in 1902 would b $133.bO
for the six months, with board.
But statistical averages, valuable as
they are in rejecting the general condi-
tions, are elusive and tantalixing things
when they attempt to cover the rate Of
wages in an occupation like agriculture,
which, including employers and employ
ed, numbers at least 10000 persons
over 10 years Of age and upwards of ev-
cry age, color and sex. The American
farm laborer knows what wages he re-
ceives, and he can compare 1t with what
is paid in England, and greatly to his
| own satisfaction.
He also knows that the above aver
ages in the United States for 1894 and
1902 fairly though. family reflect the
difference between his industrial condi-
ton during the last Democratic national

FARM WAGES.
1tgurss a. to Rates Paid in England
and the Unite States

11gures a. to Rates Paid in England
and tho Unite ! States.
The August Labor Gazette, a govern
ment publication issued monthly by the
British Board Of Trade gives an inter
esting account OF the half-yearly agri-
cultural hirings at Whitsuntide, 1904, for
the counties of Cumberland Westmore-
land and North Lancas shire, which affords
an instructive view of the rates paid
farm hands in England. The official re-
port prepared for the department states
that 1.-The supply of male farm servants
was fairly plentiful, owing partly to
slackness Of employment in other indus
tries" but that wages showed a down
ward tendency in the case of men, but
women were scarce and their wages
were well maintained"
The following were the rates generally
agreed upon for the half year:
Per six months
with board.
REST men ................. .$IoUO TO $lOUO
Second class men. 5OO0to 1900
Youths and boys ........... 1000 to 5000
Best women ............... $500 to 1900
Second class women and
girls .......... .......... 1000 to 60.00
These rates have been slightly increas-
ell in the transcription from English
money into dollars and cents at the ratio
of So per pound, but they afford a clear
and authoritative exhibit of what British
farm hands are receiving by which every
intelligent American farm hand can COM
part the wages he receives.
Without knowing the number Of men
| employed in each class and at varying
rates therein it is, of course, impossible
to arrive at an average rate of compensa-
ton. But with 500 per half year for
the highest and $50 for the lowest Of the
| second-class men it is evident that the
yearly average for male farm hands ex-
elusive of youths and boys in Great
Britain cannot be much, if any, above
$3.50 year. while the average for WON
| en- would be somewhere around 500.
| We have no similar figures for the
| United States, but in a recent bulletin
entitled "Wages Of Farm Labor in the
United States," issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the figures of the
average monthly wages of farm laborers
in this country are given. Multiplied by
six, to arrive at the half yearly rate
they furnish the following:
