RrYan,a Revelation.

Bryan's reception in Indiana shows,
concllIsively, 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 the
New Workers and enabled them to pre-
sent a gold standard" candidate to the
conserva tive 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 a 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 Indiana
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.

Due to Republican Policies,

1t has been the aim of American manu-
facturers and the desire of our people to
increase the exports of manufactures.
Under the old Democratic regime manu-
features constituted a 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 1860
they averaged II 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 is per cent.
Of the total exports; during the ten years
ending with 1890 they averaged IS
per cent. Of the total, and during the
ten years ending with 1900 they were
81 per cent Of the total. In the fiscal
year 1901 they were % per cent. of the
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 manufact-
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 1874, 10000. He says:
1.-The avidity with which Judge Parker
and ex-Secretary Olney swallowed the
statement that the Philippines had cost
this country $650,O0O,OO0, 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.
s'That the cost of the Philippines, in
Guiding the $20OO0,OOO paid to Spain,
amounted, up to May /, 1902, to $780,
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 $3,OSO,-
600, and for the year just closed 81, 1O0,-
600, a total of 1914, 100000. That has
been the actual cost of the Philippines
up to June 30, 1904.
"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 FiIpinos In the
American army from all causes has
amounted to 4,067 privates and 155 Off
GERS, total of 4,222 men. Even adding
to this number the loss of Filipino in
surgents, liberal estimate of which is
less than 10000, the gra nd total aggre-
gates $4,000, against Mr.. Parker's
100000. Moreover, the totals here given
include deaths from wounds, sickness,
drowning and other accidents, and, an
important contributory cause, the con-
tagious diseases which, unrestrained,
ravaged Americans and Filipinos when
American occupation began. Only 1885,
900 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 a minimum, and rem
dered the Philippines as healthful as
Cuba :"

RACIAL GOOD WILL.
Continuation of Prosperity Will Do
Much to Secure II.

Much to Secure 1t.
The Democratic platform accuses the
Republican party of an attempt to "kin-
die anew the embers of racial and Sec
tional strife"
An incident at the recent American
Bankers convention in New York illus
trated the falsity Of this statement and
how, on the contrary, the Republican
party, by policies which promote the
business prosperity of the South has
| promoted also n feeling of mutual good
will between the better elements, at least.
of the two races.
A colored banker from Richmond Va,
John w. Mitchell, made a speech which
brought forth tremendous applause, in
which the delegates from the South Join
ed with the delegates from the North.
Mr.. Mitchell said he attended the con-
Ventlon not only with the consent, but
upon the advice, of the white business
men Of the South. He then went on to
show how the prosperity of the Southern
negroes was continually increasing, and
that this was leading all the time to
better understanding between the better
elements of the two races. AS to tho
share Of the negro in the present phenom-
email prosperity of the South he said:
Do you know that we produce $172, l2s, 900
worth or crops a year? DO you know that
OF the southern prosperity our people pro-
duce heavy proportion OF the tobacco
c-op? Do you know that we negroes pro-
duce "a, las, 939.39 worth Of wheat at 20
cents bushel and that the market has
gone to $120 a bushel? Do you know that
we produce $40,35671 worth Of oats? Do
you know that we produce $215,926 AZ worth
or rye! Do you know that we produce $685.
580.74 worth of potatoes? Do you know
that we produce $2,691, $50. SIS worth Of
sweet potatoes? And do you know that we
produce $46,687 ,439 70 worth Of corn, maxi
ing total production of the negroes of the
South of 1882, 437 $3.50 per year?
When he had finished, Col. Robert
Lowry, Georgia banker, made an elo-
quent speech in which he said: at is the
loafing negro and the loafng white man
that makes it hard" and that at gives
me a great deal of pleasure to hear from
our colored brother of Virginia. He has
stated the facts, and l am glad to have
him here"
Republican prosperity, like the rays OF
the sun, dispels gloom wherever it goes,
and, without distinctions as to section,
race, color or religion, makes men hap
pier, better and more mindful of their re-
sponsibilities to society. 1t fulflls in de-
tail w. ]. Bryan's definition Of a pros
perity which reaches the masses and
then works UP and through every class"
THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO
HELP SETTLE THE RACE CUES
TION THAN TO GIVE THE COUN-
TRY FOUR MORE YEARS OF RE-
PUBLICAN PROSPERITY.

ment time has seen on "this earth we
inherit" is the best possible proof that
Judge Parker takes a purbHnd view OF
the possibilities and benefits OF colonial
ton. Although separated from the coun-
try that pushed "a backward and inferior
race" from the scene OF Judge Parker's
speech to the "Avon Beach Regular
Democratic Club OF Long Island" does
he think for a moment that England has
not shared IN what was conquered for
mankind when the independence of her
American colonies was achieved?
But, beyond all the narrow, petty, and
mistaken views Judge Parker takes of
history and the onward and upward
sweep of national affairs, stands disclos-
ed the fact that the Democratic candi-
date for President of the United States
is willing to believe everything evil the
lying tongue of SANDER can utter against
American government in the Philippines.
solely because there is Republican ad-
ministration in Washington. 1t seems
almost incredible that a Presidential can
didate should become the willing herald
of every lying rumor bred in the pur-
lieus of Manila.
And to think that he has descended
TO this depth, not to force immediate
abandonment OF the Philippines to the
tender mercies of their own corrupt and
impotent civilization, but to turn over
their preparation for independence to the
party of Tammany, Tweed and Till
man!
Never before has the candidate of a
great political organization stood reveal
ed before the American people in the
role of credulous defamer Of the gov
eminent of his country. 1t sinks Judge
Parker far below the level of his party.

Buyinr from Abroad.

The less the United States, through a
protective tariff, imports of the things
that it's own labor at home can manu-
facture just as well as foreigners, the
more it is able to import of necessaries
and luxuries that cannot be purchased
at home. The consumption of coffee per
capita in the United States, which in
1890 was eight pounds, is now twelve
pounds. Our imports of sugar, teas,
spices, silks, laces, etc, have increased
considerably during the last eight years.
With the American workingnran sure of
a good home market for what he pro-
duces. it goes almost without saying that
he will have enough money to buy for
himself foreign luxuries that he could
not dream of having in Democratic times.

If Bryan Democrats are sincere in
their expressed desire to rebuke the Hill
Sheehan-P Parker combination for the af-
front to their leader, they could make
the rebuke more singing by voting for
Roosevelt. The greater the plurality

Everybody profits by the growth Of

the business either as capitalists or wage

There are no physical limits to he

natural disabilities, least capable OF
acting the part of hero, may show
himself the man for a dangerous posi-
ton. Such a man has deservedly
found a place in list of recent he

New York, and he alone, of all the in.
mates, knew his danger. But he was
blind. To save himself was surely all
that could be asked of him.
August Ahrens did not think so.
True, his eyesight was gone, but his
manly care for others had not gone
with it. More than twenty persons
were asleep in the house. To save
himself and leave the others to perish
was not his idea of a blind man s
duty.
He groped his way to the fire alarm
and turned it on, and then set about
waking the sleeping men and women.
He had to stumble along passages
with which he could not have been
fauiliar, but he awoke every sleeper.
