Chance In Ocean Current.

Pilots and maritime men are puz-
zled over the strange water current
that has developed just of Cape Hat
eras. No record of the new tide ele-
ment Is to be found upon any Of the
charts. AS a direct result Of the new
current nearly 100 vessels are anchor
ed about ten miles from shore unable
to get around the cape. All the yes
sells are apparently headed north.

Democratic Financial management

On the 1st of July, 1892. the last year
of the Harrison administration, the total
bonded debt of the United States was, i'll
round numbers, $5S5 100000. On the LIST
of July, 1897, the last year of the sec
ond Cleveland administration, the total
bonded debt was $S43, 100000, an in
crease of $25S.0OO,OOO during four years
of perfect peace.
July /, 1892. the annual interest
charge on the public debt was $500
900. July /, 1897. it was S34, ,3S7 900,
an increase of S1l,194,000 during four
years of Democratic administration.
A party that cannot administer the
government during a short period of
four years without largely increasing the
public debt and the annual interest ne
count is not fit to be entrusted with the
control of affairs.

Unprecedented Force.
There had been attempts for many
years to get the government to go into
the irrigation business, but all failed I'M
til President Roosevelt took hold Of the
project. In his first annual message to
Congress in 1901 he called attention to
the necessity of providing water for the
arid lands and said: The object Of the
government is to dispose of the land to
settlers who will build homes upon it.
10 accomplish this object water must be
brought within their reach"
The national governments policy, he
pointed out, should be to aid irrigation
in the several States and territories in
! such manner as will enable the people
i'll the local communities to help them
selves and as will stimulate needed re-
forms in the State laws and regulations
governing irrigation. He likewise re-
minded the East. which was against this
policy at the time. that the reclamation
and settlement of the arid lands will en-
rich every portion of our country just as
the settlement of the Ohio and Missis-
sipn valleys brought prosperity to the
Atlantic States.
Finnl Pcrsoua1 Triumph.
| With his accustomed visor and intelli-
Eence President Roosevelt cxerted infiu-
cnce in this direction on Congress, won
the timid and the vacilating over to his
side, and the National Irrigation Law was
| enacted on June IL. 1902. That law, be
| it remembered, grew out of his message
of 1901. was enacted by Republican
Congress, ably coached by Mr.. Roosc-
| welt. The measure became n law with
his signature. The Republican National
Irrigation Act of 1902. signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt was Il fitting and natural
supplement to the Republican Free
! Homes Law of 1862, signed by President
| Lincoln.
To President Roosevelt therefore, and
| TO him alone is due the fact that there
was any National irrigation Mt all in that
Congress. and that the law, as enacted,
absolutely protects the poor man and
renders any large homings of national
| irrigated land impossible forever.
And this is how the Democrats are
Responsible for national irrigation.

Nothing could better illustrate the in
finite capacity of the -tcmocratic party
for doing the wrong thing at the right
moment than its attempt to OUTAGE
acknowledged industrial conditions with
the bald statement of its campaign text
book-"that business depression of this
year is greater than was that of 1893 and
1894"
AS there are as many million Ameri-
can voters As there are millions engaged
in industrial pursuits whose experience
spans the decade and who know this
to be most fortunately false, there is no
need to waste time in rcfuting 1t. The
Democratic depression that prevailed
from 1893 to 1897 paralyzed industry in
every section of the United States, and
its pinch was felt in every home. The
business depression Of .-.Is year. is so
largely a figment of Democratic imasi-
nation that it requires magnifying
glass to be seen, and what there is OF
it is rapidly fading from sight as the
prospects of great Republican victory
become more certain.
But the Democratic campaign book Is
not satisfied with this srotcsque generali-
zation, so it attempts to controvert the
Republican claim of prosperous times in
farm, office and workshop with the as
sertion that no one is better of by rea-
son Of increased incomes, because the
cost of living has increased dispropor-
tionately.
How utterly and irrationally absurd is
this contention is proved by the fact tina t
if prices were advancing more rapidly
than the earnings of the great mass Of
the people, the great mass OF the people
would soon be irretrievably insolvent or
their purchases wou.. be so curtailed
that the volume OF business would be
enormously reduced.
There is no possibility OF making a
scientific compa rison of tne relative in
crease in wages and the cost of living.
because they are controlled by different
factors. The rate of wages is controlled
by industrial conditions; the cost of liv-
ing is controlled by the individual No
man can fix his income at will; any man
can limit his expenditures. Let condi-
tons provide sufficient wages to the
workingman and it rests with him tO
say by what margin he will live within
his income. The larger that income the
| larger his possible surplus. II better
wages breeds extravaganza, the result
| in the language of Micawber, is misery
| il they are expended with economy, the
result is an accumulation of wealth and
happiness.

Convincing Testimony.

The Democratic depression of 1893
and 1891, to which the campaign book
inadvertently directs attention, was
marked by a falling off in deposits of
over $37 100000 in one year. Between
1898 and 1903 the average due each
depositor increased from $3.50 to S417.
More significant than the increase in
deposits is the fact that in 1903 there
were 2,474,629 absolutely new savings
bank depositors in the United States,
marking an increase of nearly so per
cent. during period when the total
population only increased "a per cent.
