principal countries of the world is the
title of a statement just issued by the
department of commerce and labor
through its bureau of statistics The
statement includes all countries and
colonies for which statistics of com
merce and the other conditions above
mentioned are available, and thus pre-
sents an approximately complete pic

The total exports of the countries and

525 $4,000. making the aggregate com
merce S21, 8o4 ,391 600. The aggregate of
the worlds commerce at the present
time may therefore be set down, in
round figures, at % billions of dollars.
While, presumably, all exports become,
in turn, imports, the stated value of
imports exceeds by more than one bill
lion dollars the value of the merchan-
disc in question when stated as ex-
ports.
This increased value in the state
ment of merchandise imported when
compared with the statement of value
OF the same merchandise when ex-
ported is accounted for in part by the
value added through transportation, in
surance, etc. and in part also by the
fact that statements of value are more
carefully and rigidly made when the
goods are imported than in the state

body of men acting without commits
sion from the people.
The Restraints of Law.
Impatience of the restraints of law,
as well as of its delays, is becoming
more and more manifest from day to
day. Within the past few years many
instances have been brought to our at
tention, where in different parts of our
beloved country supposed criminals
have been seized and punished by a
mob, Notwithstanding the fact that the
constitution of each state guarantees
to every person within its jurisdiction
that his life, his liberty or his property
shall not be taken from him without
due process of law.
In a struggle btween employers and
employees, dynamite is said to have
been used by the latter, resulting in the
loss of life and the destruction Of prop
erty The perpetrators of this offense
against the laws Of God and man, and
all others engaged in the conspiracy
with them, should, after due trial and
conviction, have had meted out to them
the most rigorous punishment known
to the law. This crime, added perhaps
to others, led to the formation of a
committee of citizens that, with the
ouPBbiA VI liit illllldfy duLnOTlly, Qe-
ports from the state, without trial,
persons suspected of belonging to the
organization of which the
perpetrators of the dynamite
outrages were supposed TO be members.
In both cases the reign of law gave
way to the reign OF force. These
Illustrations present some evidence
OF the failure Of the government TO
protect the citizen and his property
which not only justified the action OF
your convention in this regard, but
made it its duty to call attention to
the fact that constitutional guaran-
tees are violated whenever any citizen

RAIN MAY CAUSE A
H0LD-UP OF H0STILITIES.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 10.-Again the
chance of a decisive battle between
Gen. Kuropatkin and the commander
of the Japanese armies seems to be dis
appearing. According to a statement
issued by the general staff tonight
rains are again falling over a wide
area in Manchuria, with the prospect
of impeding operations, but even more
important is the information reaching
the Associated Press tonight from an
exceptional source that the japanese
once more have delayed too long.
Gen. Kuropatkin has now withdrawn
the bulk of his army safely north of
Liao Yang, leaving only a strong rear
guard line southeast of Liao Yang to
contest the advance when it comes.
According to this information the
Japanese have about 100000 men in
the armies operating against Gen.
Kuropatkin, rendering it too hazardous
for him to risk a general engagement.
The general staff has no information
bearing on the reported presence of a
large force of Japanese at Paithuho,
a place that cannot be located on avail
able maps. The report agrees. how
ever, with the general tenor of the in
formation received by the Associated
Press and here given that Gen. Kuro-
patkin is already retreating north of
Lao Yang.

! economy and thrift; the protection of
property and a guarantee of the en-
forcement for the benefit of all of
mans inalienable rights, among which,
as said in the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, are 'life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" Liberty,
as understood in this country,
means not only the right of freedom
from actual serVitude, Imprisonment or
restraint, but the right of one to use
his faculties in all lawful ways, to live
and work where he will and to pursue
any lawful trade or business. These
essential rights of life, liberty and prop
arty are not only guaranteed to the cit
zen by the constitution of each of the
'everal states. but the states are by
he Fourteenth Amendment to the Con-
titution of the United States forbid
len to deprive any person of any one
or them without due process of law.
The Limitations of Powers.
Occasionally. by reason of unneces-
sary or impatient agitation for reforms,
or because the limitations placed upon
the departments of government by the
constitution are disregarded by officials
desiring to accomplish that which TO
them seems good, whether the power
exists in them or not, it becomes de-
sirable to call attention to the fact
that the people. in whom all power re-
sides, have seen fit, through the medi-
um of the constitution, to limit the
governmental powers conferred and 10
say to departments created by IL:
Thus far shalt thou go and no far
ther." To secure the ends sought the
people have by the constitution sep
arated and distributed among the three
departments of government-the execu-
tive, legislative and judicial-certain
powers. and IL is the duty OF those ad-
ministering each department so to act
as to preserve. rather than to destroy,
the potency of the coordinate branches
of the government. and thus secure the
exercise of all the powers conferred by
the people.

WERE PLEASED BY
SPEECH OF PARKER
DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON
EXPRESSED SATISFACTION IN HIS
DECLARATIONS.

Lon Livingston Voiced the Senti-
ments OF Those at Democratic
Congressional Headquarters whe n
the Response of the Candidate
Had Been Read-IdeRs Set Forth
by Judge Parker Were Accepted
ms Safe and sound.
BY r. M. Larner.
Washington, Aug. 1O.-Judge Parker S
first formal declaration of political
| principles was received here with gen.
eral approval in Democratic and con-
servative circles.
At the Democratic congressional
headquarters, Chairman Cowherd and
Representative Livingston were chat
ting together when the afternoon
papers, containing Judge Parker's
speech appeared.
Representative Livingston, after
reading the speech in full, gave ex-
preston to the general sentiment of
those present when he said: "The
strongest thing in the speech is read
between the lines. 1t strikes at Roose-
welt all through.
Sound on the Tariff.
Judge Parker is sound on the tariff
question. There should be a reasonable
revision of the tariff. The speech is
admirably drawn along old Democratic
lines, and will appeal to the liberty
loving people who believe in constitu-
tional form Of government. His ideas
of economy and the observance of law
and the control by Congress of execu-
tive departments. in the administra-
tion of public affairs, are well put and
timely. His idea of the sovereignty of
the people ought to be considered and
should be enforced.
eve have got TO go back to first
principles I'm this government of ours.
or we will drift into centralsm, which
is the case with the present admin
istration, and has been the case with
the Republican party since its organ
ization. The Republicans have no re-
gard for the rights of the people or
the constitution, and Judge Parkers
recurrence to this is timely and can
not be expressed too strongly. II Is
very easy for them to try to keep the
people at this time filled with the idea
that they are doing well enough under
Republican rule. and when the climax
comes the people will not be able to
determine what has done them the
most good, but they will realize what
has hurt them most.
'I agree with the general tone of his
speech. and ! agree with him on the
subject Of trusts. The states have the
laws 10 regulate trade and commerce.
but what we need are executive Of
ficers 10 prosecute offenders against
those laws, instead of trying to legis-
late"
Oppose One-Term Idea
Some comment was made about the
failure Of Judge Parker to mention
the negro question. and a few persons
are disposed TO criticise him for de-
claring himself I'm favor OF but one
term in the White House. II is under
stood that Judge Parker Is reserving
what he may have to say on the ne
gro question In his formal letter OF
acceptance, which he will write after
the Roosevelt letter Of acceptance has
been published.
