the damage Mr.. Parker is doing to
his cause by talking. His own
partisans are obliged to apologize
for his egregious GROWS.
If President Roosevelt were
the lover of strife that his opponents
depict him to be, he would propose
to King Edward that Great Britain
and the United States undertake to
discipline Russia for her careless use
of firearms on the high seas.
Governor Wright's answer to the
Parker calumnies regarding the
Philippines is doubly effective be-
cause Wright is a Democrat.
The Standard Oil Company has
not contributed one penny to- the
Republican campaign fund. Re
liable information from New York
is to the effect that it has given
Chairman Taggart 800, 900 to carry
the State of Indiana.
1t was most unkind of the betting
fraternity in New York to increase
the betting odds on Roosevelt from
10 to a, to 10 to % the day after the
Democratic NationaB Committee
issued its official prediction that
Parker would be elected.
The Democratic orators are very
bitter against the trusts; but when
they had the power they never
prosecuted any of them and even
now they believe, or pnetend to,
that only tine States !can prosecute
corporations chartered by tine
State"
Will any business mans who re-
calls the Financial disaster which
followed this last time the govern
ment was entrusted to the Demo
cracy care, again to undBntake tine
Edward Atkinson must lock- to-
his laurels.. A man who cam make
e65O, 900, O00 out Of 1894, 00GOOG1 the
actual COST Of the Philippines, as
Parker did, III likely to prove. am OK
pert juggler with figures. 1t has
been said figures do NOT he but
liars figure.
The money stock OFF the Wnlted
States has, increased ina ten years
from 81, $780, 600. 600 to $235OO, 600, O0O-
But that is, NOT the impentant point
The valuable feature of this I'M
crease is that every dollar of Id is
worth 100 cents. It iss as, good as
gold. ~
The mem who urgsdl PARKER to
come out and show himself are
now embarrassed with hiA wild and
reckless, use Of the. multiplication
table.
Does, anybody imagine the Vice
Presidential candidate. Davis would
not be- entitled to. an, age pension
if he had served in the. war, instead
of trying to muleb the treasury for
wan supplies?
Democratic predictions of a whinl-
wind campaign. We're evidently
based on the expectation that the
Standard Oil Company wO@ld
furnish the wind.
The great asset of the Democratic
politicians is destructive capacity.
The chief asset of the Republicans
is constructive capacity.
Speaker Cannon says that the
only danger to the Republican
success will be overconfidence. We
doubt it. The Republicans of the
country will not content themselves
merely with Roosevelt's success.
They will cast their ballots whether
needed or not, just to strengthen
his fine purpose by splendid popular
support.
And now it appears, Mr.. Parker
never heard that the treasury de-
partment issues a daily statement
of receipts and expenditures, and a
monthly summary at the end Of
each months.
Representative Adam Bede says
that the effort to start a Christian
Endeavor chapter in the Philippines
was a failure because the mission
aries couldn't find anything to pin
the badges to.
