can party, thus completing a project
which the Democratic administration
of President Pierce had attempted in
vain. Against this undertaking which
secured to the United States naval
base i'm the Pacific of almost meal
culable strategic value, Mr.. Bryan
protested with all his energy.
In 1900 the United States success
fully suppressed a desperate insurrec
ton in the Philippine Islands, res
tored law and order and established
civil government in the islands under
American sovereignty. Mr.. Bryan OPP
possed, and in his public speeches
the effect of his utterances being to
encourage the Filipino instructors
to continue in armed resistance to
American authority. In the campaign
of 1900 sir. Bryan, in support of his
so-called issue of Imperialism" con
tended that the United States had
no right to hold the territory acquire
from Spain. The people accepted his
challenge and again he went down to
defeat.
Since Mr.. Bryan appeared upon the
stage American credit has assembled
to its highest level; American indus
try has enjoyed its greatest prosperi-
ty; American wages have reached
the maximum and American com
merce. both export and import, has
attained its greatest proportions.
American territory has expanded in
the Atlantic and in the Pacific; the
volume OF our money in circulation,
both per capita and in grand total,
nas exceeded all records; the number
of banks has increased by hundreds.
the number of saving bank deposition.
their deposits have increased more
than $1,000.000,000. America has ad-
vanced TO the front rank of world
powers, American influence has be-
come a benevolent factor in inter-
national affairs and American states
manship has won the respect and
gratitude of mankind.
William Jennings Bryan's name is
not affirmatiyely identified with a
single one of these great projects of
National development and progress.
Where he has appeared in connection
with any of them it has been only
as an obstrucuonist and Pathfinder.
His record Is merely one of negation
and protest against the inevitable.
He has misunderstood every NatiOna
problem that has arisen since he
entered public life. He has misread
economic conditions, reversed the
policies of his party and peddled falls
prophecies only to see them fatty re
futed by events. 4
Living and pretending to lead in
the busiest and most important perio
Of our National existance, saving
only that covered by the Civil War.
Mr.. Bryan has absolutely nothing
standing to his name but a dismal re
cord of blunder. false issues, dis
credited predictions and promises un-
filled. His entire contribution to the
strength and progress of the Republi
may be mathematically expressed by
single cipher.

as the main reason that the demand is

Shippers and Packers Inditfer-
ent, and Light Receipts SUI
ticient For Trades Needs
HOGS STRONG TO FIVE HIGHER
Advance Due to Purchases by Outside
Buyers and Small Local Killers, Tho
Big Packers Were Very Indifferent
Only a Few Range Sheep in Do
mand, and Lambs Weak.

Chicago, July 16-Cattle were
steady to a shade higher. The market
followed the trend of yesterdays trad
ing, and both shippers and packers
sufficient for the needs of trade.
While live cattle are more than $l.0O
per hundred lower than recent high
time, hides at present are at highest
point in months. Buyers of hides are
beginning to hope that the advance
movement has been checked. It is real
lied by every one that 1t is not posi-
BILE to continue advancing prices NC
or &c after every sale. There must be
q limit somewhere. The packers are
not carrying anything like large stocks
and in some selections have sold hides
yet to be taken off. In view of this
condition they see no present reason
for abating their terms in any degree.
Tanners who need hides to keep their
liquors in use frankly admit that they
have no recourse but to pay the prices
demanded. Other buyers. who are bet
ter supplied with hides, prefer to wait,
as they believe the top of the market
has been reached, and under more lib
eral receipts Of grass-fed cattle the
extreme quotations now made cannot
be sustained.
Hogs.
Hogs were strong to &c higher Pur-
chases by outside buyers and small To-
cal killers were chiefly responsible for
the advance, big packers showing
much Indifference, and there bids be-
ing far below the sellers demands.
Large receipts of late have not been
OF uniformly good quality, and the re-
suit has been a mighty poor outlet for
a large proportion of the poorer grades
of porkers. Some days lately as high
as 800 squealers have failed to change
hands the day of arrival and have had
to be held over. Free selling of product
of moderate quality has been in evil
dence, but stuff without some showing
of caliber has had practically no
chance whatever to leave the sellers
hands.
Sheep
Sheep were steady to 1Oc lower.
There were no urgent buying orders,
and about the only class in demand
were few range sheep. The lamb
trade was very dull and weak.
Three-day receipts are around A.
900, which is less than last week or q
year ago.
Western stuff seems to be hoeing a
straight row and taking care of itself.
Offerings are not heavy and the vest
ern sheepman is exhibiting no SEM
blance Of a liquidating frenzy. Some
are holding stuff back. In any case
August is the month when rangers be-
gin to come freely and no great num-
Der are expected for the next two
weeks.
kentucky lambs are now running
freely and an Ohio river report is to
the effect that the Tennessee crop is
already closely marketed.
