The deep wells became volcanic

The derricks and expensive drill

Stones and pebbles fell more than

1t has been the aim of American manu-
facturcrs and the desire of our people to
increase the exports Of manufactures.
Under the old Democratic regime manu-.
features constituted small item of our
exports. Under Republican rule they
have steadily. increased. During the ten
years ending with 1850 they averaged
10 per cent. of our total exports, and
during the ten years ending with 1850
they averaged IL per cent. of the
whole. During the last ten years of
Democratic rule our exports of manu-
featured products increased only one per
cent.
The Republican party came into power
in 1860, and during the ten years end
ing with 1870 our exports of manufact-
ured products formed 1G per cent.
of the total exports; during the ten years
ending with 1890 they averaged Is
per cent. OF the total, and during tlft
ten years ending with 1900 they were
81 per cent. of the total In the fiscal
year 1901 they were % per cent of tho
total, and in 1902 they were 80 per cent.
of the total.
The figures show conclusively that the
great system of American manufactures
and our increased exports of manufacL-
ured products which contribute so largely
to the wealth and prosperity of the coun-
try are due to Republican policies and
administrations,

1904, was only S194, 10000. He says;
"Thc avidity with which Judge Parker
aud cX-Secrctary Olncy swallowed the
statement that the Philippines had cost
this country $65O,OOO,O0O, and the per
tinacity with which they cling to it,
after its falsity has been proved again
and again, are past the comprehension Of
persons in Washington who are familiar
with the real conditions in the Philip
pines.
That the cost of the Philippines in
Guiding the S20,0OO.0OO paid to Spain,
amounted, UP TO May |. 1902, to S1S9,-
100000, has been established beyond dis
pute. No Democratic member of either
house OF Congress dared to challenge
Secretary Roots statement to that effect.
The cost to this country for the follow
ing year has been shown to be S3,OSO.-
000 and for the year just closed So, lO0,-
900, total of $104, 10000 That has
been the actual cost of the Philippines
up to June 30, 1904.
1.-THE statement Mr.. Parker permitted
himself to repeat when he declared that
over 100000 lives have been sacrificed
is equally false The total loss OF life
OF American troops and Filipinos in the
American army from all causes has
amounted to 4,067 privates and 1913 OIL
GERS, a total of 1922 men. Even adding
to this number the loss of Filipino in
surgents, liberal estimate of which is
less than 10,CJU. the grand total aggre-
gates 14,0OO, against Mr.. Parker's
100000. Moreover, the totals here given
include deaths from wounds, sickness
drowning and other accidents, and, an
important contrbutory cause, the con
| tagious diseases which unrestrained
| ravaged Americans and Filipinos when
American occupation began Only 126t
| 600 American soldiers, all told, have
been sent to the Philippines.
"As an offset to this loss OF life should
be set the magnificent work of the army
medical corps and of the health officers
OF the Philippine Commission, whose
unremitting efforts have stamped out the
plague, reduced smallpox and other con.
tagious diseases to n minimum, and rem
dered the Philippines as healthful as

Rryan's Revelation.

Bryan's reception in Indiana shows,
conclusively, that the Democrats of the
Middle West are not yet cured of the
free silver craze, with its accompanying
visions. The silence Of the st. Louis
platform on the money question was elo-
quent. Parker's telegram satisfied tho
New Workers and enabled them to pre-
sent a "gold standard" candidate to the
conservative wing of the party, while the
silver wing was coolly set aside to be
fooled and cajoled into good humor dur
ing the campaign.
AS matter of fact, the rank and file
of the Democratic party stand on the
money question and on all others just
where they stood in 1896. The logic OF
events has not convinced their reason,
because, on economic questions, they
have no reason.
Bryan, who could not carry Indians
for himself, cannot, of course, carry that
State, or any other State, for Parker.
He has, however, revealed the ass which
hides under the lions skin, assumed, for
a purpose, by once great national
party.
