WHERE WOULD he cURTAiEf

Cedar Rapids Republican.-Judgs
Parker returns to the so-called issue
of economy of expenditures in his let
ter Of acceptance. But only in one In
stance does he approach specificness
In his discussion Of national expendi-
lures. 1t Is to be found in this single
sentences: 80
Reform in expenditures must be
had in both the OWL, military and.
naval establishments in order that the
national expenditures may be broughtI
to basis Of peace and the govern
ment maintained without recourse to-
the taxes of war"
this that Judge Parker would X he
could, reduce our army and curtait sx-I
penditures In the navy. Probably it,
would put q stop to any additions inI
the latter. But the American people
will not indorse this program. They
know that our army Is smaller rela-
lively at the present time than, It was
even In the early days Of the republic.
As for the navy, they are determined
upon q policy that shall make the
American navy the equal OF any navy,
with the possible exception OF that of
Great Britain. They are In favor Of
this program, not for the purpose of
war, but as guarantee Of peace.
Aside from this brief inttmation.
velts challenge to be specific, ab4o-
lutely. President Roosevelt went into
this mater In great detail. He asked
the following pertinent questions:
DO our opponents grudge the nifty
millions paid for the Panama canal Z
Do they intend to cut down on the
pensions to the veterans Of the civil
war? Do they intend to put stop to
the irrigation policy? or to the per-
manent census bureau? or to the im-
migration inspection? Do they intend
to abolish rural free delivery? Do they
intend to cut down the navy? or the
Alaskan telegraph system? Do they In
tend to dismantle our coast fortifica-
tons? II there is to be a real and
substantial cutting down in national
expenditures 1t must be in such mat
tiers as these. The department Of ag-
riculture has done service Of incalcu-
liable value to the farmers Of TILL
country in many different lines. Dc
our opponents wish to cut down the
money for this service? They can dc
1t only bv destroying the usefulness
| of the service ITSELF"
| None of these questions has Judge
Parker even remotely referred to his
whole talk about extravaganza II
| sheer demagoguism.

PARkER,s DEFICIT SCARE.

While Judge Parker, preparing his
letter of acceptance, was toiling over
his empty sentences,
His cogitative faculties immersed
In cogibundity of cogitation,"
his aptitude for figures went on a va,
cation and he prepared, or accepted
some very queer conclusions, which he
gave to the admiring editors with
much pomp.
The trouble is that the Ulster county
politicians deficit is not deficit at all
when it comes to realities. The re.
publicans delightedly accepted the
challenge Of the democratic candidate,
for 1t gives them a chance to show a
few statistics themselves.
Judge Parker asserts" says Wash.
ington dispatch to the Chicago Chron.
icle, that there is now deficit of $42,
100000 instead of a surplus Of $50, 000,.
900, which Mr.. Roosevelt found on be-
coming president. Both statements
are reckless, as careful examination
of the records Of the treasury will
show. In regard to the deficit, the re
ceipts and expenditures for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1904, show an ap
parent deficit of s$40,000,O0O in round
numbers, but during that time the
United States paid s50,0O0,OOO for q
Panama canal and advanced $4,500,00C
to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
which latter amount is to be returned
to the government. If Mr.. Parker will
deduct his apparent deficit of $42,000,.
900 from the s54,O0O,00O paid for the
purchase of the Panama canal and the
encouragement of an exposition, OF
worldwide scope and Importance, he
would find balance of $12,OO0000, and
upward on the other side of the ledg-
orb

HIGHER FOREIGN PRICES.

Judge Parker and his democratic al.
lies who seem so much concerned over
the fact that we are selling a very
small proportion of our manufactures
abroad at less price, than in the do.
nestle market fail utterly to make
any allusion to the fact that probably
more goods are sold abroad at higher
price than Is asked in the domestic
market than are goods at lower price
This contention is particularly true of
iron and steel products, as is attested
by the bulletin Of the American Iron
and steel association.
