CHlCAGO'S MAYOR PROPHET
Qneer Prophecies About the Vote of
Illinois In November.

Carter III, Harrison (No. y, who has,
apparently, Il life lease on the mayOralty
of Chicago. has been lifting up his voice
in newspaper interview, giving his
views as to the coming Democratic cam
paign in Illinois. He seems to think
there is going 10 be a Democratic cam
paign. Anyway, he says he will himself
make az least thirty-nne speeches in
Cook county. That of itself will make
something like IL campaign, but why
dirty Why not an even forty?
Is the Mayor a believer in the luck of
odd numbers? Somehow, one is remind
ed Of the orthodox "thirty-nine articles"
Of church history over which so much
ink has been shed, so much eloquence
clocuted.
BUT to return to Carter IT, He is wor-
ried about a zone man power" He
thinks the foreign-born citizens over
whom he is to exert the magic spell of
his speeches can be reused into distrust
and disapproval of President Roosevelt.
il they can be convinced that there is
amy inclination on the Presidents part
to disregard constitutional limitations, to
exercise degree of personal power and
authority not upheld by the traditions of
this country"
He doesn't lug Thomas jefferson in,
and that is a comfort, one OF the bless
ings that go along with living on the
shore of Lake Michigan The profess
sional Mayor. continuing his talk. allows
that there are some 100000 German vot-
ers, $1,000 Poles and 10000 Scandna-
vians, who can be hypnotized into a be-
lief that President Roosevelt is a very
dangerous person, and that. panc-strick
en-, this body Of over G20,0O0 men can
be induced to vote the Democratic ticket
or any other old ticket, which does not in
clude the names OF the electors of Presi-
dent Roosevelt
Fond, fond dreamer, Too soon will
the rough winds of November awaken
YOU from your vision as 70 Democratic
spell binding and its results.
President Roosevelt has no more
sturdy admirers than in the ranks of the
Illinois citizens of North Europe birth
and parentage. Every German loves a
good fighter. a sound thinker man of
tried and proved patriotism. And so
does every son of the Vikings and every
descendant of the liberty-Ioving Poles.
And these American citizens upon whom
Carter III. is counting so blithely know
a man when they see one They have
seen Theodore Roosevelt and they recog-
nize IN him true patriot, dutiful cit-
zen, man to whom has been, and can
be, trusted the full responsibilities of the
Office for which he has been nominated
by the Republican party.
Illinois will give Theodore Roosevelt
such a vote as will make Carter Seconds
hair stand to the four points of the com
pass. 1t is not to be city election, only,
next November. The Mayor of Chicago
is distinctly out Of his element as a pro-
phet OF national affairs and national
issues.

OUR FOREIGN Trade.
1t Expands Under Republican and Col
Iapses Under Democratic Policies.


One OF the great arguments of the
free traders has been that with free
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 in recent years vas in
the second Cleveland administration
They did not put actual free trade into
operation. but they came close enough
70 it to put most of the factories OF
this country out of operation. We did
not get the markets of the world. They
may have been open to MS. but our man
ufaeturers were going out of business so
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
trade within those ten years, and yet We
are selling millions Of dollars worth Of
goods every year in the markets of the
world"
In Congress. last winter, Congressman
Hill. of Connecticut, told of recent
visit he had made abroad. He said
Il stood on the deck of japanese liner
in the harbor of Nladivostok, Russian
Siberia. In the hold Of that ship was
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
alive of a locomotive works in Phila-
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 | rode 500 miles up the
banks OF the Amur river over American
steel rails shipped there under the
Dingley tariff law. Then ! got aboard
steamer to 90 up the Amur 800 miles.
1t was American built. lowed two steel
barges made in Pittsburg. shipped there
under the Dingley tariff law.

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

PULiIZER'S MISTAKE.

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 letter, OF which this was
the concluding paragraphs:
1t is because I so strongly desire Judge
Parker's election that ] speak so plainly on
this subject. ! earnestly beg OF you when
you see him tomorrow at Esopns. 10 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.
"Besetw "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
ther 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 hench-
men.

NOT USED BY DEMOCRATS
Adjectives for VIII Oh Parker's Fol-
lowers Have No Use.

I'VE 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 adjectiyes
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
'tantamount" idea to advance. like in
the platform adopted at st. Louis. which
said 1.-THE existing Republican admins
tration has been SPASMODIC. Err
RATIO. SENSATIONAL. SPECTAC-
ULAR and ARBITRARY"
Alton b. Parker says the gold stand
ard il "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 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 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.
