A GOOD CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT.

1t would be interesting to know
the secret thoughts of the republican
leaders with respect to the presi-
dents message. 1t Is easy to see that
they don't like it, because of its
challenge to the men and interests
who are expected to furnish the cam
paign fund, but they dare not say
anything. The people of the country
however, are taking notice. and they
are not going to remain loyal to the
republican party if congress fails to
show in a substantial way a sympa
thy with the reforms SO earnestly
demanded by the president. And if
the majority undertakes to enact
these reforms. the Interests" will
not stand for fat-frying next sum-
mer.
Mr. Roosevelt is clearly within his
rights when he indignantly disclaims
is well within the facts when he at
tributes the trouble to overcapitali-
cation and transportation in ficti-
tious securities. 1t is perfectly alb
surd to say that a denunciation of
corrupt practices in business destroy
prosperity, for it does not The truth
of the matter is, the business de-
preston which the country has re-
Gently suffered Is due entirely to the
acts which the president has de-
nounced, and instead of remaining
silent for fear of injuring speculative
values, it is best to deal with wrong
doing so as to prevent injury to real
values.
The country is certain to have a
repetition of business depression so
long as the evils of overcapitaliza-
ton and gambling In stocks are per-
mitted. 1t requires entirely too large
proportion OF the money OF the
country to finance the speculation in

tremendous volume, without regard
to the conditions that obtain

mate business of the country must

The democrats can make no mis-
take by standing for the removal of
the fruitful causes of business de-
preston. The people have no sym
pathy with the cry that reforms
should be deferred because attacks
upon wrongdoing hurts values The
president has done a great service
to the democratic party by SO stanch-
ly advocating the very principles
upon which it will appeal to the
country. His message will be one of
the very best campaign documents
of the year, and it will make votes
for Bryan If the party leaders in
congress will only force the hands
of the majority and compel them to
either take action or to refuse to
follow Mr.. Roosevelt.
OF course, Mr.. Roosevelt is posi-
tive that his message will greatly
aid his friend Taft, and it will in the
contest for delegates, but the peo
pie are going to understand before
the election that they need not hope
| for the reforms advocated by Mr..
Roosevelt unless the government is
entrusted to a party strongly COM
mitted to the enactment of reforms.
Mr.. Taft could not accomplish them
! with republican congress, but Mr..
Bryan can accomplish them with a
democratic congress, and it is this

THE FARMER AND GOOD TINES.

Although speculative banks and
badly managed financial institutions
in the east have gone to the wall,
the real business of the country is
on such a basis af stability that the
early recovery made from the finan-
cial disturbance of October and No
manent, says the Fort Worth Rec
ord.
According to figures compiled by
the federal bureau of statistics, the
trade of the United States for 1907
was the largest in its history, the to-
tai exports and imports reaching
over three billion dollars, or, to be
exact, $3,346,S25,11 The total of
exports aggregated s1,923, 500, 900
Agricultural products and manufac-
tured articles divided honors for su-
premacy 1t is notable that in no
former year has the movement, eth
er in imports or exports, approached
the volume shown in 1907.
The financial troubles appearing
in October and eliminating in No
vember had but little immediate in
fluence upon foreign trade True,
imports for December slightly de-
clined, but this was doubtless due
to the desire of importers to tax the
strained financial situation as light
| ly as possible. On the other hand,
| imports increased in very consider
able volume, being the largest in the
| history of the country's foreign
! trade for any one month, due doubt
| less to the desire manufacturers and
| exporters have to secure foreign ex-
| change, on which funds could be
| quickly realized The United States
had a favorable trade balance of al
most $3.50, 100000 for the month
of December.
An unusual feature of the move
ment of specie was that, notwith-
/ standing the call for gold in the lat
er months of the year, less was i'm
ported during 1907 than in the pre-
vious year. This is but another evil
dence of the sound foundation upon
which the prosperity of the country
rests
Exports of agricultural products
|
which lacked only sSS,S00,000 of
equaling the value of all other ex-
ports combined. Agricultural exports
showed an increase over those of
1906 of $65, 1000. This is the
highest figure on this character of
exports ever reached in the history
of the United States. More than
three million dollars worth of farm
products were shipped out of the
| ports of this country every day OF
the year just passed,
The American farmer bears con-
spicuous part in his country's trade
| yet he receives little or no protee-
! ton. Some of his products, like rice,
| citrus fruits and wine, are protected
| but these enter into the volume OF
exports in inconsiderable quantities.
The staple exports-breadstuff pro-
visions, cattle and cotton-all come
| from his energy and thrift. The re-
lation between the trade of the
| country and agriculture is so close
that the abundant crops of 1907 are
! counted on to make business good
until the coming harvest shall dis
close how much the farmer has
again produced.
