Washington, Aug. 26.-Political

Parker Not O Populist.

Here are some political facts, also
some undeniable party history, promul'
gated by the New York World, Judge
Parker's particular organ, which will
prove interesting to our Populist
friends, as it should prove convincing
to such fusion Populists as are being
and as will be urged to vote the Demo-
cratic -Populist ticket throughout
from top to bottom as whole:
"In the campaigns Of 1895 and 1900
Mr.. Bryan and his Populistic admirers
had great deal to say about the as
sistant Republicans-the Democrats
who would not vote for free silver,
! Reputation and a packed supreme
court.
1.-THE former assistant Republicans
have returned for the most part to
their Democratic allegiance; but q
new breed has appeared on the scene
in person Of the Populists. Thomas
E. Watson, who was the Populistic
tail to the Bryan kite in 1896, devoted
his Cooper Union speech Of accept
ance almost entirely to an attack on
Judge Parker and the same Democ-
racy. Mr.. Watson insisted that the
Democratic party, after stealing the
populist platform in 1895, had stolen
the Republican platform in 1904. III
you believe in Republican doctrines,
be asked, why vote for ParkerP Why
not go "the whole, hog or none," and
vote for ROOSEVELT
sin sense Mr.. Watson is right.
Persons who wish to vote for PoPulis-
tic men and measures can not very
well support Judge Parker. Their
place is either with the more con-
Populists under Mr.. Roose
veit, or the more radical Populists
1nder Mr.. Watson. They can have
10 community Of interests with the
ionAl Democrats who are sup
PORTING Judge PArker's candidacy.

LET votes Mr.. Watson can take from
Judge Parker. but all good Demo-
rats will say be is welcome to them.

GRAIN CROPS IN~EURoPE.
Recent Reports Are to the Effect That
General Conditions Are
Favorable.

The European grain markets are at
present chiefly ruled by news regarding
the condition Of the crops. The local
press, however, notes as a curious fact
that the European markets are influ-
enced by American news to much
smaller degree than heretofore, This,
they claim. is due to the fact that the
European markets do not rely for their
supplies mainly on the American re.
ceipts.
They claim that during a recent week,
for instance, the imports of wheat from
Argentina amounted to 10000 tons;
from Russia $500 tons; while the i'm
ports from the United States amounted
to only $4,000 tons. which is less than
the combined imports from Australia
and India, amounting to $4,000 tons.
They argue that the quantities afloat
from Argentina, Australia and India ap-
pear sufficient to supply the further i'm
port demands Of the European markets,
and that consequently the late rises In
New York for early delivery, which they
attribute to manipulations In Chicago,
will have no influence on the European
markets.
AS regards the state Of the growing
crops In Europe, the recounts of the con-
dition of the wheat crop In Austria-Hun-
gary are Of q favorable nature, which
applies to both the summer and winter
crops. In few instances complaints
were received from Bohemia about the
undue amount OF rain; while in Hun
gary. in some districts more moisture is
needed. These complaints. however, do
not amount anywhere TO any serious
apprehensions respecting the condition
Of the crops.
As regards the rye crops, the re-
ports are less favorable Almost from
all quarters complaints are loud re-
specting the present state Of the crops.

Our Optimistic West.

A Northwestern business man cam,
back from New York this week with
gloomy countenance and full Of ap
prehensions as to the future Of bust
mess. He had been talking with New
York dealers In speculative securities
and had become infected with The
New York notions that the whole
country depends upon Wall Street
sentiment; and he had not been bach
long enough to get the cobwebs blown
from across bis eyes or the fog out OIL
his brain.
Let it not be forgotten that the
business Of the country Is not done In
New York, much less in Wall Street.
There is where the books are kept,
there Is where the dividends are paid,
and there is where the gambling is
done on the future; but after all, that
part Of New York or Wall Street is
not necessary to the country, and
though it ought to be well informed,
because in sense 1t keeps the books,
1t is not always az wise as it should
be.
One should 60 out and see the crops
grow; see the look Of contented pros
perity on the faces OF the entire
country west Of the Alleghanies; see
the people buying goods in volumes
and Of a quality never excelled; see
agriculture being supplemented by
and manufacturing |
in turn supporting more agriculture,
and then one will discover that the
has not gone to the dogs; the
times are not hard.
Then he will be assured that as the
season progresses an actual and i'm
demand will show itself
which will discredit and overthrow
The prophets Of evil who just now are
rying to persuade the country against
he facts.
The west is all right-the far west
he South, the southwest, and the
treat central states--and though the
ever Of speculation has abated and
men ale doing bosiuess quietly and in
rider instead Of with a brass band,
business is being done nevertheless,
nd it is Of a solid, legitimate sort
