PARTY POLITICS.
Striking Contrasts Revealed by a Study
of official Reports.

Official reports show that protective
tariffs have been in operation in the
United States during practically one-half
of the one hundred and fifteen years
since the adoption of the Constitution
Official statistics show that during fifty
nine years of low tariff there were but
ten years in which the exports of the
country were as great as the Imports
and that during the entire ffty-nine
years of low tariffs the total excess of
imports over exports was $JlJ,0OJ. 900.
A study of the commerce of the protec-
tive years shows that exports exceeded
imports in twenty-seven of the fifty-two
protective years, and that the net excess
OF exports over imports during that time
was $500, 100000.
To state il in different FORM low tariffs
in iifty-nine years of operation show
net excess Of Imports over exports Of
$515,OOO,O00, while protective tariffs, in
fifty-two years of operation. show a net
excess of exports over imports of ST.
5OO,0O0000. The protective tariffs of
fifty-two years have paid the commercial
debts of the ffty-nine years of low tar
ifs, amounting to $515. 100000 and in
addition, placed $500 100000 to the
credit OF our export trade.
Another striking example Of the
growth of our export trade under pro-
tective tariff is found in the fact that
the excess Of exports over imports IL
the first three years of President Me
Kinley's term was nearly four times rs
much as the entire excess OF exports over
imports from 1870 to the beginning OF
the Mckinley administration. From
1870 to March /. 1897, the excess OF
exports over imports was 1888, OBS. 497:
from March /, 1897, to March !. 1900,
the excess Of exports over imports was
81 ,4S3. 537, O49
A comparison of these figures shows
the relative effects Of Republican pro-
! lection and Democratic free trade or low
tariffs on the revenues Of the government
and the prosperity of the country.

OUR "WAR LORD"

A "War Lord?" Yes, or course we
have; but by War Lord" is meant
The sort of man who rends a path good
for continent;
Who makes n highway for its work one
who, without a fear,
Grips situations-cleaves way across
hemisphere!
Our WAR Lord cares COR time nor
space.
Just as the Oceans long.
He joins theml-And we lead the racei
The race that's to the strong.
Our War Lord" holds the Oceans track
Clean to the Orient,
That we may feed where millions lack;
Where lands and men are spent.
Our WAR LODI dams the mountain
streams,
Makes true the thought Of those
Who thought til" desert, in their dreams,
Might blossom ike the rose
Our WAR Lord" is a man Of strength.
\ patriotic man,
But where he'll 20 in, to what great
length
Well-he's American!
But. rest assured. our "War Lords"
wise;
He'll know when to release
The whip upon each enterprise
Our "War Lords" one of Peace.

ROOSEVELT Is RIGHT.
Presidents Philippine Policy Upheld
by w. II. Hearst.
[Chicago American, Dem.l

[Chicago American, Dem
Theodore Roosevelt tells the men of
the Grand Army of the Republic, assem-
bled in Boston, that the United States is
going to hold on to the Philippine Isl
ands, and that the work done there Twill
not be blamed
Mr.. Roosevelt is right. The people of
the United States, when they took the
Philippines. assumed the responsibility,
not only for the present but for the
future, for a good many millions of hui
man beings and large slice of the
earth's surface.
Laws which are good here must be
good in the Philippines, and they will be
applied there. That which is progress
here must be progress in the Philippines.
and it will be developed thore.
The United States will not back out
and invite the Philippines to fight it ont
among themselves. leaving the savages
to fall TO slashing each other and the
half-breeds to plotting and selling each
other out. 1t would be the simplest way
out of il, and the most cowardly. That
will not be the American way.
The American people do not want any
Imperialism. but they DO want expansion
and they have always had it. They are
not going to back out of an undertaking,
either on foolishly sentimental or con-
veniently cowardly grounds. They will
do the work they have undertaken in the
Philippines, educating the people there
and, incidentally, educating themselves
in the process.

Platform Does Not Show IL.

The last authoritative expression OF
the National Democratic party on the
money issue was in 1900. when il reaf-
firmed its demand OF 1896 for 'the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio of IL to /, without waiting for the
aid or consent Of any other nation" II
the Democratic party has changed it's
mind on the money Issue since 1900, the
platform Of 1904 does not show it, A
plank stating that the present standard
OF value was mo longer open to question"
was proposed by Mr.. Williams in COM
mittee, but it was VOTED DOWN BY
THE DECISIVE VOTE OF 30 to 10.

The Democratic presidential candidate
has coat Of arms. That fact has al
ready been somewhat exploited and may,
for the moment. pass. The main fact,
which seems to be that. considering his
relntions with Tammany. his relations
With Bryan and the old silver party. his
extremely distant relations with Cleve-
land and his group, and lot of other
things. ex-Judge Parker seems, instead
of being in possession of old-fashioned

Of coat OF many colors. Really. the

New York World, Radical Dem-I
One of the chief reasons given by Re
publicans of this city for their support
of Roosevelt is his position on the money
question. That is made clear by tho
answers which the World is receiving 20
the note which it has addressed to the
business men who took part in the
Sound Money Parade" here in 1896
asking them TO state their present presi-
Dental preferences.
y large proportion of the Republicans
who have given their reasons--more than
two-thirds so far-have named sound
money as one of the concerns uppermost
Iii their minds. Over one-half of the Re-
publcans put the money question above
everything else. Here are some quota
tons from answers from Republicans:
George \. Nail-Sound money aud

ton is sound ON money, Panama and

George ID. Perkins-Always sound
money, always Republican.
William Bishop am still for sound
money and Roosevelt.
John j. Tower-For sound money still.
l shall vote for Roosevelt.
Happen & Personals we believe that
sound money requires more substan-
tial assurance than a telegram from the
candidate of great party to the effect
that the gold basis is already established.
we are earnest supporters of Roosevelt
and Fairbanks.
Henry Clews-With the Republican
party in power we are sure of sound
money.
Frank A. Ferris-Now, as then. and
all the time for sound money, reason
able protection, with efficient control of
trusts.
*. G. McKinney-While Judge Parker
has accepted the fact that the gold
standard is irrevocably fixed, his party
has not.
Thomas III. Baskerville shall vote
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks for the
reason that they believe in sound money
on principle, while their opponents have
simply taken up sound money for polit-
zeal expediency.
w. Nj. Seymour-Sound money is an
issue. IL not. why did it take so long at
st. Louis to find il ont?

Paramount end Tanta m ount.

In 1896 free silver was the PARA
MOUNT issue according to the Demo
Gratis.
In 1900 Imperialism had become the
PARAMOUNT and burning ISSUE
nevertheless free silver was still TAN
TAMOUNT' to what it was in 1900.
In 1904 the Democratic convention
wired TO Mr.. Parker. 1--WE do not CON
slider the money standard to be an issue
OF this campaign"
Thus free silver, which fell from para
mountcy in 1896 to tantamountcy in
1900, has now struck the ground with
such hard thud that it is simply too
delicate to be mentioned.
