MISTAKE.
He Docs Not UNDERSTAND the Attitude
Of Parker,

Joseph Pulitzer did not attend the
gathering Of Democratic editors which
met and communed recently with the
Democratic candidate for the presidency,
but he wrote a letter. of which this was
the concluding paragraphs:
1T Is because I so strongly desire Judge
Parker's election that l speak SO plainly on
this subject. l earnestly beg of you when
you see him to -morrow at Esopus, to urge
that he accept also the full responsibility Of
his position; that he will not permit the
campaign in New York-the pivotal State
to be mismanaged by the small politicians
who beset him.
"Beset." "Beset." indeed. Little is
Alton b. Parker 'beset" by the small
politicians to whom Pulitzer alludes,
those who have, for years, been the vas
sails Of David Bennett Hill or among
the operators for Tammany. Alton B.
Parker has been one of them himself.
Foxy political manager for Hill, who
repaid him by an appointment, and who,
in the present year, has repaid him fur
Their, he is not likely to be "beset" by his
own associates. Mr.. Pulitzer must be
wandering in his mind. 1t is upon those
from whom he wishes Mr.. Parker to dis
sociate himself that Mr.. Parker depends
for whatever vote he may get in New
York-Tammanyites and the Hill bench

OUR FOREIGN TRADE,

One OF the great arguments OF ths
free traders has been that with FIRE,
trade we would have access TO the mar
kets OF the world" Well. the only time
the free traders have had control Of
the government III recent years was in
the second Cleveland administration
They did not put actual free trade into
operation, but they came close enough
to 1t to put most Of the factories of
this country ont OF operation. We did

may have been open to us. but our man

fast. under the ~ruinous tariff schedules
the Democrats had put into effect, that
they could not seek the markets of the
world. Their own home market. the best
one to them, was invaded by cheap for
eign goods, however.
Then the protective tariff system was
reinstated by the people of this country.
and Immediately the factories began to
turn their wheels again. Within ten
years we have demonstrated that the
way to get the markets of the world
IS to protect our own market against
invasion, build up our industries, and
then branch out for foreign trade.
We have not had anything like free

goods every year in the markets of the
world"
In Congress, last winter. Congressman
Hill, of Connecticut, told of a recent
visit he had made abroad. He said;
Il stood on the deck of a Japanese liner

over 700 tons OF American agricultural
implements that had come across the
Pacific ocean from America for the use
of the peasants Of Siberia, and shipped
there under the Dingley tariff bill. That
night at the hotel ! met the represent
ative OF a locomotive works in PhiIa-
delphia who told me he had just put in
$50 locomotives. for use in the Siberian
railway, shipped there under the Ding
ley tariff law.
"Next day l rode 500 miles up the
banks Of the Amur river over American
steel rails shipped there under the
Dingley tariff law. Then I got aboard
a steamer to go up the Anhlr 1900 miles.
1t was American built, towed two steel
barges made in Pittsburg, shipped there

bought a package Of candy, wrapped in
paper on which was printed the picture
of William Mckinley, to popularize that
candy among the peasants Of Siberia,
all shipped under the Dingley tariff
law"
That looks as if we had a slice OF
the markets of the world, but we never
got anywhere near them under Demo
cratic tariff ideas.

NOT USED BY DEMOCRATS
Adjectives for Which Parker's Fol-
lowers Have No Uae.

w know what we mean when we
speak of an honest and stable currency"
said President Roosevelt in his speech
Of acceptance.
In no official utterance of the Demo-
cratic party, or of its candidates for
President or Vice President during the
last eight years, have the adjectives
honest or stable" ever been used to
designate the kind of currency Democ-
racy demanded. and this Notwithstanding
the Democratic phrase makers will use
adJectives freely and recklessly when
ever they have any paramount or
"tnntanoune' idea tu adruncr, ithu ia
the platform adopted at st. Louis, which
said "the existing Republican admins
tration has been SPASMODIC. Err
RATIO. SENSATIONAL. SPECTAC-
ULAR and ARBITRARY"
Alton B. Parker says the gold stand
ard is 'irrevocably established" but he
does not say that his own personal be-
lief in it as affording an "HONEST
AND STABLE CURRENCY has been
irrevocably established, nor, furthermore,
that he deemed the Democratic party
wrong, when in Congress, in 1899, it al
most to a man voted against the estab-
lishment Of the gold standard.
As the gold standard OF value was
then "irrevocably established" not by
the Democratic party, but by the Repub-
lican party, the only gold standard that
the Democratic party can honestly claim
to have "irrevocably established" is the
gold standard of silence on a subject on
which it never did talk except to lower
itself in the estimation OF intelligent peo-
pie, and to breed apprehension in bust
ness circles.
