9ym pathy for Parker.

Possibly some Democrats may want
to vote for Parker, because they would
feel very sorry for him in the event of
his defeat. But it is a matter of COM
mon gossip in New York that Parker.
il not elected President. is to have a fat
job anyway: that in fact he has already
been offered by August Belmont the posi-
tion OF counsel of the Interborough Tran
sit Railway at a salary Of $5O.0OO a
year. the same salary he would get as
President OF the United States. and that
in this position he may also do outside
legal work as member of law firm to
consist of Hill, Sheehan and Parker. In
any event Mr.. Parker has secured fine
advertisement for himself by. his candi-
dacy for President, so that there will be
no danger whatever of his not being able
to earn a good living in private life by
be better for Mr.. Parker to get $4,000
per year from Mr.. Belmont ms direct
counsel for that gentleman, than to get
$4,000 per year from the United States
government for ofiicial services that may
be largely Influenced by the suggestions
OF Mr.. Belmont, who Is in the trusts
neck high, and who once organized Il
| syndicate which got rake-off of nearly
100000 on bonds issued during the
second Cleveland administration to make
good the deficits resulting from the vii.
son tariff for revenue only" bill.
In the minds of voters the personal
prosperity of thousands OF Americans
who would be adversely affected by Dem
ocratic victory should count for more
than sympathy for the Democratic can
didate; who will doubtless continue to
grow personally more prosperous. not.

carried on by John Hay. greatest of
modern diplomats. receives nothing but
condemnation from the would-be admin
istrators Of the affairs OF the nation.
The serious, toilsome task of making
new. free people ont of the mixed peo-
pies of the Philippine Islands, a labor
which must be characterized by delibera-
ton. care and the highest conscience, and
which is only at its beginning. has been
ignorantly and wantonly assailed and
misrepresented. And in connection with
this gigantic task, which must try the
strength of American statesmen yet un-
born. the ''bogey man" OF "Imperialism"
has been constructed.
1t is all, literally. great cry and lit
tie wool"
The Democratic candidate. in one Of
his few public speeches. has given out
childish expression of fear of this
amusing bogcy man Of American I'm
perialism. History teaches" he said.
that from Republcanism to imperial
ism the movement is gradual and unpre-
ceived of the people. Its ominous pro-
gress. when discovered. leaves open but
two courscs-snbmission or resort to
violence
A Rumiilatinx Cry.
It is humiliating that an American
man who has had the benefit of a com.
mon school education should SO mistake
the philosophy of history as to raise in
his own mind. or that Of anyone else,
the ancient fear of kings and emperors in
a country which has been governed by
the people for hundred years.
All the trend Of human thought and
human destiny is toward the government
Of the people for the people. Even in
the old world the principle works, and
is ever advancing. The planet upon
which we live may fall into the sun, or 1t
may be snuffed out like candle by
some of the mysterious powers of the
universe. But in the epoch of the
| worlds history in which we live no self
governed nation of free people will take
the road back to subjection. And of
all people the Americans are the last
to look fearfully forward to such an
anti-climax.
No one regards these "Impcrialistic''
warnings seriously. but they show what
kind of people make up the Democratic
party. Anything" they say. "for a
cry! anything. from n whine to shrek.
anything. to get us hearing! And,
perhaps. such fools these mortals be,
| we'll howl ourselves into power, Once
again. all shrek"
But 1893 il not far enough back. The
black shadow Of Democratic rule is still
remembered, ruefully. by American vot-
ers.
The people have made up their minds,
| and 1.-THE shouting of the captains" can
not turn them one point from their
source. They will elect Roosevelt. Presi-
dent; Fairbanks, Vice President. and re.
turn n Republican Congress.

Growth of Manu..c,urIns.

Manufacturing never attained much
growth under the old Democratic regime.
Democratic legislation and Democratic
administration were not favorable to it.
They favored the importation Of manu-.
factured products from foreign countries.
The real development of our manufactur.
ing industries dates practically from the
birth of the Republican party and the
establishment of protection. In 1860
there were only 14O,433 manufacturing
esta blishments in the United States; in
1900 there were 512.734. In 1860 the
value of our manufactures was 1885,
SCI 900: in 1900 it was S13. OBJ. 279, 600.
The figures show that our present great
manufacturing system dates from the or
ganiza ton of the Republican party.

PARKER'S FAILURE.
Inability to Arouse Either Interest or
Enthusiam I'M.

Alton H. Parker made an unfortunate
impression by his speech Of acceptance.
This impression was dcrpcnrd by his
l"nR-delaycd and much corrected letter.
by these two efforts the Democratic can.
didate must he Judged. for he has never
done anything noteworthy. nor said any.
thing TO he remembered. either before
or since his nomination.
Upon every point raised by the candi
date in his two uttcrancrs Mr.. Parker
lins failed to carry the sympath,es or
the judgment of tn. people. In the hrst
place the lack OF mental grasp revealed
by the man named for the highest once
In the gift of the people is painfully evi.
dent to the most careless readevof his
formal statements Of opinions and CON
rictions upon national issues.
The effect Is that Of narrow intslli.
gence laboring to meet expectations
founded upon nn estimate II cannot ful.
fill. The absence Of anything like broad
views Of national questions is felt. nat.
urally. when one remembers that tn.
utterances under examination are put
forth for the set purpose OF ginning the
sufragcs OF the entire people Of this i'm
mense country.
