INDUSTRY DECLINING.

Our imports have declined for July
to $71,123,52O against $50 lS7,SGS in
1909. The total value Of exports Tor
July was SS4,S93, 431, against $9l,Sl3,-
2e5 for July, 1903. For the same pc
riod the expenditures Of the govern
mept exceeded the receipts by over
SIT, 100000 which would indicate a
deficiency of over s75,OO0,O0O for the
fiscal year. If the Democrats had
elected a majority in Congress two
years ago, these ominous figures
would be pointed to by the Republi-
cans as the result Of such a victory,
but now we know-for Shaw has told
us-protection is panic-proof, and
prosperity" and high prices are still
with us. We will have to issue bonds
and increase taxation In some way
under this devastating policy OF the
Republicans, which is evidently de-
stroying our foreign trade and redu-
cling our ability to buy foreign goods.
But the trusts are constantly getting
q flrmer grip Of the situation, and
will furnish us all we ought to have
at the high prices the tariff allows
them to charge. But, as Secretary
Shaw says, high prices is an accom-
paniment of prosperity, and to, keep
It we must vote the Republican ticket,
pay and look pleased.

THE PUBLIC PAYS AS USUAL.

Decrying the trusts and speaking
more particularly Of the Meat Trust,
and the strike which was only recently
ended in the packing houses, the New
York Telegram drives the point homo
in the following editorial observation:
Naturally. some one has to pay for
all this. The employees are paying
their share In a way, in being COM
PEELED to go back to work at the old
wage. But the real payment, the one
that takes shape in dollars and cents,
is being paid. as It usually Is, by the
public, by those who had no interest
in the strike.
1.-THE rate at which you are paying
IS in evidence on every restaurant bill
of fare. Even in the cheaper ones,
places where they do not indulge in
the luxury Of printing their menu
cards daily, you will find red ink Vari'
atoms on former prices"

FAITH VS.. APPETITE.

Hon. Bourke Cochran, OF New YORK.
in a speech, made recently oeiore
Tammany Hall, characterized the oit-
ference between Democracy and he
publicanism in the following terse
language:
democrats are party OF principle
They follow principle and value 1t
more than profit. Republicans have
differed more widely than Democrats
upon every question which has been
active in our politics. They have diff
fered about the Philippines, about the
tariff, the gold question, about Cuba
about every single question which has
come before the public, but their dill
ferences never prevented them from
coming back as one man the moment
there was a chance OF getting posses
sion of the Government and putting
their fists into the Treasury. Demo
Gratis. on the other side, have thrown
away prospects Of success rather than
surrender their principles to when
they were committed. Democracy, In
fact, is a faith, and Repubhcanism Is
an appetite"

On the diverse appears the follow
ing:
PRESIDENTS DREAM OF WAR.

TION and feel that we can AFFORD TO
let the keen, fearless, virile qualities
of heart and mind and body sink into

inevitable and shameful disaster IN
the future."-From speech by Mr..
Roosevelt, when Governor, before New
York Republican Club, February 10
1889.
The military establishment Of the
United States, exclusive Of pensions
win. under four years of Roosevelt, IN
q time of profound peace, have cost

Tl.sia the reverse OF the document:

"Tao display OF great military anna
mor,s may please the eye and. for
the moment, excite the pride OF tie
citizen, but it cannot bring to the coun-
try the brains, Drawn and muscle OF
a single immigrant, nor reduce the in
vestment here of a dollar Of capital.
OF course, such armament as may be
necessary for the security Of the coun-
try and the protection Of the rights
of Its citizens, at home or abroad,
must be maintained. I protest, how
ever, against the feeling that by rea-
son Of the commanding position we
have assumed in the world, we must
take part in the disputes and broils OF
foreign countries, and that because We
have grown great We should intervene
In every important question that arises
in other parts Of the world."-From

LAND FRAUDS.

The Interior Department Is just as
honeycombed with scandals and filled
with grafters as the Post Once,
though but little has been said about
It. The General Land Office. II in
Vcstigated, would far outstrip, In the
amount involved, the frauds In the
pout Office. The little already ex-
posed shows the vast ramifications Of
the land ring and the enormous acre
ige they have wrongfully appropris-
ted. The claim that the Roosevelt Ad-
minlstration is willing and anxious to
