Due to Republican PoIiCies.

II has been the aim of American manu-
facturers and the desire of our people TO
increase the exports Of manufactures.
Under the old Democratic regime manu-
f~actures constituted a small item Of our
exports. Under Republican rule they
have steadily increased. During the ten
years ending with 1850 they averaged
during the ten years ending with 1860
they averaged IL per cent. of the
whole. During the last ten years of
Democratic rule our exports Of manu-
featured products increased only one per
cent.
The Republican party came into power
in 1860. and during the ten years end
ing with 1870 our exports of manufact.
ured products formed 16 per cent.
of the total exports; during the ten years
ending with 1890 they averaged Is
per cent. of the total, and during the
ten years ending with 1900 they were
81 per cent. of the total. In the fiscal
year 1907 they We're 2S per cent. of the
total. and in 1902 they We're 80 per cent.
OF the total.
The figures show conclnsively that the
great system of American manufactures
and our increased exports OF manufact-
ured products which contribute SO largely
to the wealth and prosperity Of the coun-
try are due to Republican policies and
administrations.

Rryan's Revelatio-.

Rryan's reception in Indiana shows.
conclusively, that the Democrats Of the
Middle West are not yet cured Of the
free silver craze. with its accompanying
visions. The silence of the st. Louis
platform on the money question was elo.
qnent. Parker's telegram satisfied the
New Workers and enabled them to pre-
sent a gold standard candidate "a the
conservative wing Of the party, while the
silver wing was coolly set aside TO b
fooled and cajoled into good shumor dur.
ing the campaign.
AS a matter of fact, the rank and Ole
of the Democratic party stand on the
money question and on all others iusf
where they stood in 1895. The loeic az
events has not convinced their reason.
because, on economic questions. they
have no reason.
Bryan, who could not carry Indiana
for himself. ~cannotAaof course, carry that
state, or any other State, for Parker.
He has. however. revealed the ass which
hides unde the lions skin. assumed. for
a purpose, by q once great national
party.

ment time has seen on this earth We
inherit is the best possible proof that
Judge Parker takes a purblind view OF
the possibilities and benefits OF colonial
ton. Although separated from the coun-
try that pushed "a backward and inferior
race from the scene Of Judge Parker's
speech to the Avon Beach Regular
Democratic Club of Long Island" does
he think for a moment that England has
not shared in what was conquered for
mankind when the independence Of her
American colonies was achieved?
But. beyond all the narrow, petty, and
mistaken views Judge Parker takes Of
history and the onward and upward
sweep of national affairs, stands disclos-
ed the fact that the Democratic candi-
date for President OF the United States
is willing to believe everything evil tho
lying tongue of Islander can utter against
American government in the Philippines,
solely because there is a Republican ad-
ministration in Washington. 1t seems
almost incredible that a Presidential can
dldate should become the willing herald
of every lying rumor bred in the pur-
liens of Manila.
And to think that he has descended
TO this depth. not to force immediate
abandonment OF the Philippines to the
tender mercies of their own corrupt and
impotent civilization, but to turn over
their preparation for independence to the
party OF Tammany, Tweed and Till
man!
Never before has the candidate of a
great political organization stood reveal
ed before the American people in the
role Of a credulous defamer of the gov
of his country. 1t sinks Judge
Parker far below the level of his party.

ACiAL GOOD WILL
Continuation of Prosperity Will Do
Much to Secure 1t,


The Democratic platform accuses tho
Republican party of an attempt to kin
die anew the cmbers OF racial and Sec
tional strife"
An incident at the recent American
Bankers convention in New York illus
trated the falsity of this statement and
how. on the contrary, the Republican
party, by policies which promote the
business prosperity of the South, has
promoted also a feeling of mutual good
will between the better elements, at least,
of the two races.
A colored banker from Richmond, Va.
John w. Mitchell. made a speech which
brought forth tremendous applause, in
which the delegates from the South john
ed with the delegates from the North.
Mr.. Mitchell said he attended the con-
vention not only with the consent, but
upon the advice. of the white business
men Of the South. He then went on to
show how the prosperity Of the Southern
negroes was continually increasing, and
that this was leading all the time to 4
better understanding between the better
elements Of the two races. As to the
share OF the negro in the present phenom-
email prosperity Of the South he said:
DO you know that we produce S172, 12s. Ooo
worm or crops a year? Do you know that
OF the Southern prosperity our people pro-
ance a heavy proportion OF the tobacco
crop! DO you know that we negroes nre-
duce $4,14 .a3a. 80 worth of wheat At "a
cents a bushel and that the market has
gone to *1.2O a hushel? Do you know thaf
we produce SAC. 5 II worth OF oats? 10
you know that we produce $215, 026. as worth
OF rye! DO you know that we produce $76s.
O. worth Of potatoes? DO You NOV
that we produce 81. SOL ,93o. IS worth Of
sweet potatoes: And do you know that We
produce $46,6S7 .439. 20 worth Of corn. max.
ing a total production of the negroes of the
South OF $252. 437 .515.s9 per year?
When he had finished, Col. Robert
Lowry, a Georgia banker, made an elo-
quent speech in which he said: 1T is the
loahng negro and the loafing white, man
that makes it hard;'' and that 1T ziv>s
me a great deal Of pleasure to hear from
our colored brother Of Virginia. He has
stated the facts, and l am glad to have
him here"

1.-THE aviddty with which Judge Parker
and ex-Secretary Olney swallowed the
statement that the Philippines had cost
this country $65Q.OOO. 600. and the per
~tinacity with which they cling to it,
after its falsity has been proved again
and again, are past the comprehension OF
persons in Washington who are familiar
with the real conditions in the Philip
pines.
That the cost Of the Philippines. in
GLIDING the $2O.0O0,OcO paid to Spain,
amounted, up to May l. 1902, to $780,
100000. has been established beyond dis
pute. No Democratic member of either
house of Congress dared to challenge
Secretary Roots statement to that effect.
The cost to this country for the follow
ing year has been shown to be S3,oSo.-
ND, and for the year just closed $2.luO.-
600. a total Of 1874. $50, 600. That has
been the actual cost Of the Philippines
up 10 June 80. 1904.
The statement Mr.. Parker permitted
himself to repeat when he declared that
over 10000 lives have been sacrificed
is equally false. The total loss of life
of American troops and Filipinos in the
American army from all causes has
amounted to 4,061 p~rivates and 100 Off
GERS. a total of ADD men. Even adding
to this number the loss Of Filipino in
surgents. a liberal estimate OF which is
less than 10000, the grand total aggre-
gates II, 600. against Mr.. Parker's
100000. Moreover. the totals here gwen
include deaths from wounds, sickness,
drowning and other accidents, and, an
important contributory cause. the con-
~tagions diseases which. unrestrained
ravaged Americans and FilipinoS when
American occupation began. Only l26.-
coo American soldiers. all told, have
been sent to the Philippines.
AS an offset to this loss Of life should
be set the magnificent work Of the army
medical corps and of the health officers
OF the Philippine Commission. whose
unremitting efforts have stamped out the
plague, reduced smallpox and other CON
tagions diseases to a minimum. and rem
dcred the Philippines as healthful as

Buyinx from Abroad.

The less the United States, through a
protective tariff. imports Of the things
that its own labor at home can manu-
~tacture just as well as foreigners. the
more it is able to import of necessaries
and Injuries that nno be purchased
al home. The consumption Of coffee per
capita in the United States. which in
1890 was eight pounds, is now twelve
pounds. Our imports Of sugar. teas.
spices. silks, laces. etc. nave increased
considerably during the last eight years.
With the American w~orkingman sure Of
q good home market for what he pro-
dnces. it goes almost without saying that
he will have enough money to buy for
himself foreign Injuries that he could
not dream of having in Democratic times.

Undoubtedly 1T would be possible
at the present time to prevent any of
the trusts from remaining prosperous
by the simple expedient of making
such a weeping change in the tariff az
to p~aralize the industries Of the coun-
try. The trusts would cease to prosper;
but their smaller com petitors would
be ruined, and the wage. would
starve, while 1t would not pay the
farmer to haul his produce to market"

For most men this would have been

breath of the man content; and ever
In his dreams there came the vague
beckoning Of hand still nalf unseen,
Haunting him with the sense of the

OF Mary Ellen, who was wasting her
life on a prairie ranch, with naught to
inspire and none to witness the flower
Ing Of her soul.
So much for the half-morbid frame
of mind due for the most part to the
reflex Of body made sick by an ir.
regular and irrational life. This much,
too. Franklin could have established
of his own philosophy. Yet this was
not all, nor was the total SO easily
to be explained away.
Steadily, and with an insistence
somewhat horrible, there came to
Franklin's mind feeling that this
career which he saw before him would
not always serve to satisfy him. Losing
no touch Of the democratic loyalty to
his fellow-men, he none the less clear.
ly saw himself in certain ways be-
coming inexorably separated from his
average fellow-man. The executive
instinct was still as strong within him,
but he felt 1t more creative, and he
longed for finer material than the
seamy side Of mans petty strifes with
man, made possible under those artifi.
cial laws which marked mans COM
promise with Nature. Longing for the
satisfying, for the noble things, he
found himself irresistibly facing to-
ward the past, and irresistibly con.
vinced that in that past. as in the
swiftly marching present. there might
be some lesson, not ignoble and not un.
comforting. Horrified that he could
not rest in the way that he had chosen,
distracted at these intangible desires,
he doubted at times his perfect sanity;
for though It seemed there was within
him the impulse to teach and to create,
he could not say to himself what or
how was to be the form, whether men,
tai or material, Of the thing created,
the thing typined. the thing which he
would teach.

the failures of the new town blended

Each man fell into his place in the
community as though appointed there
to. and the eyes of all were set for
ward. To Franklin the days and
months and years went by unpunctu-
ated, his life settling gradually into
the routine of an unhappy calm. He
neglected too much the social side Of
life. and rather held to his old friends
than busted himself with the search
for new. Battersleigh was gone,
swiftly and mysteriously gone, though
with the promise to return and with
the reiteration of his advice and his
we'll wishes. Curly was gone-gone

To Franklin, dreaming as he woke

hand, there sometimes sounded a
Voice, as that which Of old summoned
the prophet in the watches of the
night. Neither in his waking nor his
sleeping hours could he call this spirit
into naturalization. however much he
longed to wrestle with it finally. 1t
remained only to haunt him vaguely,
to join with the shade of Mary Ellen
the Cruel to set misery on life which
he had thought happily assured.
