Industrial Economics.

Trustworthy statistics declare that
the productive capacity of every indi-
vidunl American who works has been
multiplied 125 times in the past cen
tury by the perfection of labor saving
machinery.
Government experts who compile In
dustrial data assert that wealth is in
creased in America at the rate of $40
day for every person who works.
Many trust managers now eliminate
consideration of workmen as individ-
uals. The mechanic is considered an
automaton-a part of the high speed
machine-and the longer it runs the
more profit is made.

A congressional resolution to lnves-

meat, ranchers are robbed by the COM

cannot sell at profit, dressed beef is
higher than three years ago and the
producer gets less, the cost of handling
meats from ranch to block is reduced.

Needless to say, the Democratic party
of the United States, which includes
able and successful men in all lines of
effort has never put itself in n position
of hostility TO any legitimately acquired
wealth.
Today, as in Jackson's day, the Dem
ocratlc party is party open to all
American citizens obedient to the laws
and faithful to the constitution, no
matter how poor or no matter how rich
they be.
No Democrat need be reminded that
the ability of those men who possess
honestly acquired riches is essential TO
the nations welfare.
Those who attack indiscriminately or
jealousy the rights of the prosperous
manufacturer, merchant, inventor,
banker or other legitimately successful
men are not Democrats. They are as
blind and stupid in their way as those
of another class who cry down and at
tack the rights of the union man who
works with his hands.
The Democratic party, more willingly
than any other, recognizes that the men
who develop the resources of the coun-
ry, the men who create the wealth, the
non who through executive, organizing
md constructive ability provide oppor-
unity for effort, employ labor, distrib-
lite wages and confer benefits upon the
whole community, are those entitled to
arge reward, since those who direct
great and legitimate business under
takings are essential to the prosperity
Of the nation.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1904-05-05

The promoters Of extortionate and
speculative trusts do not develop the
resources of the country, but hinder
and restrict development. They do not
create wealth, but appropriate the
wealth which others have created.
They check prosperity by concentrating
wealth in the hands of the few out Of
the savings Of the many. They limit
production, they limit opportunity, they
limit the employment of labor and re-
duce the laborer's wage, while they in
crease the cost Of living. They confer
no benefits on the community. The
wealth they possess is stolen money,
and the laws Of the country should
hold them as public criminals.
Managers Of get rich quick trusts,
managers of fraudulent trusts-that
great tribe Of public robbers-are not
confounded in any Democrats mind
with the honest men whose superior
ability, industry, patience or intellect
have brought them legitimate wealth.
The growth and prosperity of the
United States have merely begun. The
nation needs the ablest minds, capable
Of wide planning and accomplishment.
These will continue to be valued and
encouraged by all good citizens. Ev-
cry Democrat will agree that the labor
er is worthy of his hire, whether he
work for day wages or for great
wealth, so long as he works honestly
and legitimately.

OF all honest working Americans. 1t Is
the party that will promote the well
fare Of all those contented to live with
in the laws.
The Democratic party is the party Of
prosperity-the prosperity Of the many,
not of the law defying few.
The coming battle of the Democracy
against special privilege is already
clearly outlined in the minds of intel
ligent voters. This nation was estab-
lished for the benefit of ALL for the pur-
pose of giving equal legal rights to all.
The coming fight of the Democracy Is
to preserve the essential character Of
our American system, and is to be
against the criminal element which
seeks to change the nations character.
1t Is the duty Of the Democratic par
ty to release the country from the grip
or eXtortionate trusts, which, like the
coal trust and the beef trust, control
the necessaries of fife, increasing the
cost of living and destroying the pur-
chasing power Of money earned.
1t Is the duty Of the Democratic par
ty to eliminate the opportunities Of
speculative trusts, like the steel trust
and the shipyard trust, that deceive the
public and take the peoples savings In
exchange for worthless watered stocks
1t Is the duty of the Democratic
party to prevent the recurrence of the
present national situation. in which we
see the wages of tens OF thousands OF
workers in one single trrst reduced IN
order to swell the profits of maiiipula-
tors and stock jobbers.
1t Is the duty OF the Democratic
party to ally itself with the legitimate
business interests of the country, and
with their aid TO overthrow the Repub-
lican party, which has sold itself to
the criminal trusts.
None will welcome Democratic sue
cess more gladly than the legitimate
business man, who finds II more and
more difficult to exist under the throt-
Ting influence Of the trusts and their
growing control of legislation, money
and opportunity.
TO the commercial traveller, the busl-
ness man, the mechanic whose wages
are cut, the local banker in constant
danger, to every family that has had
Its living expenses increased or its saw
ings absorbed by the criminal trusts, /
would recommend study Of the char
acter OF Andrew Jackson and his polit-
zeal methods.
To all Democrats and Democratic
leaders Andrew Jackson stands proof
of the value of principle in the win
ming OF victory.
II 1t were possible in the coming
to choose our candidates in
the history OF the past, should not ad-
yocate the choice OF some SO called
conservative" nonentity. without mo-
tive or inspiration save desire for OF.

TRADE WITH THE EAST
NEW YORK WILL BE BENEFITED
BY THE PANAMA CANAL.
European Ports Will Be Placed at a
Disadvantage - Comparisons With
Suez Canal Distances.

Richard Guenther, United States consul
general at Frankfort, Germany, has sent
to the Department of Commerce and La
Dor a clipping from the Frankfurter Eel
tung, giving the German view of the eff
fects of the Panama canal on international
commerce, which says:
1.-THE great interoceanic route of naviga-
ton in the western hemisphere will be open
to traffic in about ten years.
1.-The question of how large the traffic Of
toll-paying vessels would be dominated the
whole affair so long as the construction was
to be on private account for the sake of
profits. At present this question has been
entirely relegated to the rear. Nobody
thinks of remunerativeness any more. The
fruits of the enterprise consist in indirect
profits they must be looked for in the MILL
tary-political field and in the promotion of
American commerce. In this lies the center
of gravity of the situation.
Small Advantage to Europe.
"Of what real advantage the sole control
of the waterway in times of war will be to
the United States will be seen only after a
long time. The consequences for CONNER
cial navigation are more evident. If looked
at with European eyes they appear small.

inclusive of New Zealand, the way via the
Suez canal will remain much the nearer

BANKER BREEsE FOUND GUILTY.
Sentenced at Charlotte to Seven Years
in Prison

A dispatch from Charlotte, N. c., last
night says: After being out for eight hours
the jury in the case Of William e. Breese.
late president of the First National Bank
of Asheville, found him guilty of abstrac-
ton and misapplication of the funds of the
bank, and Judge Keller sentenced him to
seven years In prison. Defendants attor-
neys filed bill of exceptions and gave no
tice of appeal to the United states circuit
court of appeals at Richmond. The verdict
was returned at 1925 this Saturday
morning.
Today's proceedings were taken up with
the conclusion of Charles A. Moore's ar
gument for the defense, the speech Of
United States District Attorney Holton and
the charge of Judge Keller. Judge Moore
contended that in none Of the defendants
acts was there any intent to defraud.
In the closing argument for the govern
ment District Attorney Holton maintained
that the conditions in Asheville had nothing
to do with the banks falling.
Judge Keller began his charge to the jury
at 1916, and consumed an hour and a quar-
ter in going over the evidence and explain
ing the law in the case The jury retired
at 4:3O p M. and after being out two hours
returned and had the charge relating to
the difference between embeZzlement and
misappropriation of funds repeated.

that counter operations in the meantime on

slight importance with reference to the total

peter and ,guano will undoubtedly prefer the
route around Cape Horn, which is not much
longer, and for cargoes of such little value
Will be preferable to that by way of the
Panama canal, which is subject to heavy
tolls.
THE exchange of goods with the coun-
tries to which the lessening of distance is
the greatest, namely, western Mexico and
California, Is of only moderate Importance.
