carried on by John Hay, greatest of
modern diplomats, receives nothing but
condemnation from the would-be admin
istrators of the affairs of the nation.
The serious, toisome task of making
a new, free people out of the mixed peo-
pies of the Philippine Islands, a labor
which must be characterized by deibera-
ton. care and the highest conscience, and
which is only at its beginning, has been
ignorantly and wantonly assailed and
nisrepresented. And in connection with
this gigantic task. which must try the
strength OF American statesmen yet un-
born, the DOGGY man" of imperialism"
has been constructed.
1t is all, literally, great cry and lit
tie wool"
The Democratic candidate, in one Of
his few public speeches, has given out
childish expression of fear of this
amusing DOGGY man of American I'm
perialism. History Teaches" he said,
that from Republcanism to imperial
ism the movement is gradual and unpre-
ceived of the people. Its ominous pro-
gress, when discovered leaves open but
two courses-submission or resort to
violence"
A Humi1iating Cry.
It is humiliating that an American
man who has had the benefit of a COM
mon school education should so mistake
the philosophy of history as to raise in
his own mind. or that of anyone else,
the ancient fear of kings and emperors in
country which has been governed by
the people for hundred years.
All the trend of human thought and
human destiny is toward the government
of the people for the people. Even in
the old world the principle works, and
is ever advancing. The planet upon
which we live may fall into the sun, or it
may be snuffed out like candle by
some of the mysterious powers of the
universe. But in the epoch of the
worlds history in which we live no self
governed nation of free people will take
the road back to subsection. And of
all people the Americans are the last
to look fearfully forward to such an
anti-climax.
No one regards these "Imperialistic"
warnings seriously, but they show what
kind OF people make up the Democratic
party. Anything" they say, "for a
cryi anything, from n whine to a shrek,
anything, to get us a hearing, And.
perhaps, such fools these mortals be,
well howl ourselves into power! Once
again. all Shrek"
But 1898 is not far enough back. Tho
black shadow of Democratic rule is still
remembered, ruefully, by American vot-
ers.
The people have made up their minds,
and 1.-The shouting of the captains" can
not turn them one point from their
source. They will elect Roosevelt. Presi-
dent; Fairbanks, Vice President, and re-
turn a Republican Congress.

The exports Of domestic manufactures
from the United States have grown from
S4O.345, S92 in 1860 to S403. 641 .4O1 in
1902. Nearly all of this growth was
under Republican administrations. Since
1899 the expectation of manufnetures
has averaged over 100000. 900 per an
mum, being more than twice as much as
in any year prior to 1896. four times
as much as in any year prior to 1877,
and ten times as much as in any year
prior to 1867. Could there be a stronger
argument in favor of Republican policies
than that afforded by these figures?
