EXPENDITURES COMPARABLE.

In comparison with the leading ma
tions of the world the expenditures of
the>-unitcd States arc far less in pro-
portion to the population than any of
them and the per capita expense of
conducting this frand Republic is much
below them. The expenditures of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain, with
its forty-one million of inhabitants ac-
cording to the latest statistics avail
able (l902) were Ss07, 100000, or SCI 80

Of the United Kingdom Is Just about
onehalf OF that of the United States.

with the Democratic party, and for
forty years it has been promising to
economic in expenditures IL entrusted
with power. They tried It twelve years
ago and the result was not a happy one
They expended less but. It was more
than their income Their economies
compelled the people to pick up matches
or any other old thing and patronize
the public soup kitchens. The Cleveland
administration expended more than its
income every year and sold bonds t.
secure money to pay the ordinary ex-
penses.
The Republican party has not followed
that economic policy. It has not de-
spised burnt matches, but it has not
had the people to pick them up because
it has given them more profitable EN-.
ployment. 1t has followed business
principles and encouraged the earning of
more money that more might be spent
for the comforts and even the luxrries
of life. The Republican party has not
looked upon the workingman as one who
should be compelled to drudge and slave
and save by picking up pins and collect
ing burnt matches. It has tried to so
conduct the business of the government
as to encourage enterprise as well as
economy and create work and kages
that would enable the people to live
in comfort. 1t has been successful

questions which followed that war, but
it only increased the interest bearing

The Democratic papers give Stephen

to meet every complex political PROPOSE
tion in this state, and, on that they
say the nomination OF Henry G. Davis
makes the present complex political
proposition and then want to know what
mas become of Elkins. Since they adj
nit so much for Ellins. it is not to be
wondered at that they feel that he will
meet the situation now, and if they are
not thinking that way. they win know
it after the election. Elkins will be in
the saddle just rs much this campaign
as ever he was, and there is very
strong intimation that he will be there

DAVIS SHOWS HIS DorAeE.

A Wheeling Register dispatch from
Washington says Henry G. Davis was
asked what he thought of President
Roosevelt's letter and he replied: 81
read about a column OF it and got
tired" Here is another testimonial of
the inability of Davis to serve even as
vice president owing to old age, He
confesses that he is not able to do waat
he undertakes to do. He started tc
read letter of acceptance but he wear
led before he got to the second column.
thus conveying the idea that he has
not. enough interest in public matters
and questions, and not enough strength
to really make a easuaT perusal of dis
cussions of those questions. This in
stance Is certainly all that is needed to
convince the voting. public that an old
man ready for tie grave is not one that
should be elected to the vice presidency
with the possibility of having to go to
the presidential chair.
