THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Those who seek to belitte the significance of
Col Goddards candidacy and the present attitude
of the Democrats and Independents do no credit to
their own powers of observation and perception
The veriest tyro in political affairs can recog-
nize the signs of the times that forete the greatest
popular revolt against ring rule ard boss domina-
ton that Rhode Island has seen.
The present awakening Of the people is no
spasmodic and ephemeral outburst engineered by a
few men for possibly selfish purposes. 1t expresses
the pent-up indignation of the people for many
years robbed of their rights, which has increased
steadily until it has burst its bonds, and with an
ever-growing and resstless force that nothing can
stay will sweep the peoples oppressors from the
citadel of their iniquitous power.
The cry that resounds throughout Rhode
Island today is not that of the politician, yet OF
those whom the Republican machine sneerngly
terms "the reformers"
1t is the voice of the people-of honest men
and patriotic citizens of all political faiths voters
who have the courage and determination to secure
their rights and establish in this state govern
ment of the people, for the people and by the
people, in spite of the restriction of the suffrage
the rotten borough system of antiquatcd consti-
tuition and all the powers OF political chcanery and
corruption.
The people are in deadly earnest and the
people win triumph.

WORLDS COMMERCE.

The department Of commerce and labor
submits statement that the worlds
international commerce bill will aggre-
gate fully twenty-five billions Of dollars
In the year 1906" We are not quite
convinced by the accuracy Of this state
ment The explanation is made that
"by the term worlds international com
merce' is meant the imports plus the ex-
ports Of all countries. from which reports
were available. II seems to us that this
method Of computation doubles the actual.
The total commerce OF a given country
is the total OF imports plus exports. The
respective items refer TO different COM
modities. and distinction is made In sta
tistical reports between merchandise inn
ported for consumption and for reship-
rIent--New York Sun.

SATISFIED SILENCE
OF MR.. ALDRICH

When Senator Tillman read his we'll

the negotiations with President Roose-
velt, supported by the positive affrma-
tion OF ex-senator Chandler. the people
were struck with the alacrity with which
the Republican senators came TO the
defence of The Republican president.
Senator Lodge, who does not think 1t
necessary to hear or read or know a
statement in order 10 refute VI, in his
calm, deliberate way, with irrefutable
and crushing logic, selected one line out
OF the T1llnan statement and swept II
away with that brilliant tenAine In
which he declared that he had been in
formed over the telephone that IL was
deliberate and unqualified falsehood "
When Senator Bailey thundered at the
White House and declared that he de-
nounced as n liar the man who had In
spired a statement accusing Mr.. Bailey
of treachery-declared that he would
brand him across the forehead, mo
matter who he Is, nor how high his
office'-how did the Republican senators
hurl back the denunciation?
How splendidly they came to the defence
of the leader OF their party! There was
