AMERICAN GOODS ABROAD.
Policy Of Cheaper Sales Has Consent
OF Both Parties.


Secretary Shaw estimates that out
Of every $1,000 worth OF manufactures
exported from this country 80 cents
worth are sold abroad cheaper than at
home. So far the complaint Of the
Democrats that our manufactures sell
abroad cheaper than at home seems to
be true. But this Is not as great dis
count In the export trade as the ad-
vantage given to manufactures In the
importation OF raw materials, that they
may employ American labor at Amer
lean wages In the manufacture OF goods
that are 10 be sold abroad In compeu-
ton.
II has been the policy Of the Repub-
lean party for a number Of years to
encourage such competition In foreign
markets. The drawback on materials
imported for manufactures that are to
be exported Is not peculiar to the
Dingley law. The same provision was
In the Mckinley law. and II was incor-
porated In the Wilson. German law by
the Democrats II was kept In the law
when the Dingley ACT was passed be-
.suse II became the policy OF the gov
.rnment by common consent Of both
parties.
Last year We imported $4,000 900
worth Of materials which went into
manufactures for export. and the draw
back was paid on about per cent Of
our imports This would make II pos
sible for the American manufacturers
10 sell about per cent OF their exports,
Dr. si20.Oc0cco worth. cheaper abroad
han at home. The advantage given by
he drawback was given for the pur.
pose Of enabling them TO 20 into for
slgn markets and compete. even II
hey had 10 sell cheaper than at home.
And this advantage was given In the
Democratic tariff act Of 1894. Just a. II
had been IN the Mckinley act Of 1880
and as II Is now g.ses By the Dingiey
act " lss7.

DEMOCRAT ADVOCATES
NEGRO DlSFRANCHISEMENT.

! National Committeeman Atwood, Bry-
ans Close Friend, Openly Favors
Taking Vote From Colored Men Of
Kansas.
DisfranchlsaInent Of as many colored
voters as possible is advocated by John
II. Atwood. Democratic national com.
mltteman from Kansas, chairman Of
the speakers bureau Of the Democratic
national committee, one of Bryan's
closest friends and a man who, II is
said, Mr. Bryan intends to make at
torney general II be should be elected
president.
Disfranchlsement OF the colored men
OF Kansas was advocated by MIR. At
wood In the following letter published
In the Kansas City Post of Kansas
City, Kan, May Z, 1905:
Letter Urging Disfranehisement.
"By one OF those strange ironies Of
fate which sometimes overtake the
benefactors OF individuals. peoples or
races the state of Kansas, which has
done more perhaps for the negro than
any other state In the Union, is
now suffering a grievous political
wrong from the hands Of the freed
man and his descendants.
William A. Harris would now be
governor of Kansas had 1t not been for
the ignorant nesrs vote, and there have
been times In the past when the Demo.
cratic party could have elected its
ignorant black vote Of Kansas City,
Kan. Leavenworth, Atchison, Law.
renee and Topeka.
There was time when the negro
vote was not considerable factor In
Kansas politics, but that time has
passed. The influx of negroes from the
south. the rapid multiplication Of those
native to Kansas soil and the increas-
Ing insistence Of the negro upon social
equality make the Kansas negro not
only political factor, but social and
political menace.
Atwood Fsvors Jim Crow Schools
IF the last election be criterion,
the negro now holds the balance of po-
ltical power In Kansas. as he does In
Missouri This In Itself Is bad enough,
but In Kansas we have suffered for
long years the outrage OF mixed
schools, fastened upon US by the Re-
publican politician.
Mixed schools lead the negroes to
aspire to mixed society. and this
close contact OF the races Is productive
OF troubles from which Kansas would
be free II the negro had less political
power and were not admitted TO the
same schools with the whites
kansas has long been weary OF the
negro politician, and It is more than
weary Of the mixed school Patience
has its limits. and believe that
the time has come when the people OF
Kansas win join with the people Of
Missouri In restricting negro suffrage.
Il do not advocate the dIsfranchise- |
ment OF the negro on the ground Of his
color That idea Is abborrent to the |
principles OF our free government, and |
It's execution would be In conflict with |
the constitution
But our constitution will permit the |
Of the ignorant, de-
PRAYED lazy. vicious and debauched
negro. aud this Acknowledgement
should be accomplished 10 the end that
Dur free institutions may not suffer"

THE SLEEPLESS WOMAN.
She Should Live as Much as Possible
In the Open Air.


In the Open Air.
What can the sleepless woman do I,
help herself? Let her note, In the frs
place, some things that she ought moi
TO do. She ought not TO drink tea OF
coffee, especially toward bedtime, fol
these stimulate the brain.
She ought not TO spend all her time
indoors, but rather live much In the
open air and breathe deeply the while
She ought not Immediately before re
firing to read thrilling stories OF "bat
tie, murder and sudden DEATH"
She ought, above all, says Samuel
McComb in Harper's Bazaar, not to fear
the idea of not sleeping, and the feai
Of not sleeping will be dissipated by
the firm conviction that, even though
she should remain awake for hours
some at least Of the benefits Of sleep
can be obtained by using those hours
Alright
One goes to bed primarily to rest,
secondarily to sleep. IL one does not
sleep one should not keep turning over
and over, growing more impatient with
oneself, but should impose on the mind
calm, peace and state as near vacuity
as possible. As has been well said
"Sleep is like pigeon. 1t comes to
you IL you have the appearance Of not
looking for 1t. 1t flies away II you try
to catch It,"
II possible approach bedtime with
feeling Of Indifference and learn to say
within yourself, III ! sleep. well; II
don't sleep, also well, though not Sc
we'll" This little lesson thoroughly
learned will have the most beneficial
Influence In attracting sleep. Assam
ing. then that the sufferer has removed
the physical causes Of sleeplessness-
that noise and light and material dis
comforts are excluded-there Is now nc
reason for the insomnia.

BRYAN COULD HARM,
Danger Of Placing Nebraskan In
White House.
EVEN WITH SENATE OPPOSED.

Administration and Enforcement Of
Laws Would Be In His Hands--Ths
Treasury Would Be Under Hi,
Thumb--kationai Banks Would Be-
At His Mercy.
Nobody with brains enough to get In
out OF a blizzard can have patience
with the argument so complacently put
forth by some Of the Bryanites who
want TO humbug others into believing
what they don't believe themselves
that Bryan can do no harm should he
be elected The usual way OF putting
II is that there Will be a Republican
senate and probably Republican
house and that Bryan's hands will be
tied even II his tongue continues TO
wag-certainly poor reason for elect
ing president even were It true.
But It is not true. A grammar school
boy who has studied the constitution
OF the United States knows that OF
course Bryan as president In face Of
sane congress could not pass laws. But
the whole administration OF national
laws. including their enforcement,
which is at least as important as pass.
Ing them. would be IN his hands. He
would have the treasury under his
thumb. the national banks would be
at the mercy OF a comptroller of the
currency appointed by him. the foreign
policy OF the government would be di-
rected by him. aud ambassadors. min
lsters and consuls would be named by
him. The army and navy would be I'm.
der his command. Collectors. postmas
tiers and other officials OF the civil sery.
ice would be nominated by him. While
he could not establish "a tariff for rev.
enue only" he could make things much
smoother and easier for the class that
come back from European trips loaded
with all sorts OF luxuries purchased
abroad 10 the detriment OF American
labor.
Then be could smash any bank that
might offend him by not going into his
compulsory guarantee scheme, Just as
his campaign treasurer, Governor Has
kell, smashed the International Bank
OF Goa lgate, Okla, TO make a demon
stration Of the guarantee law for the
Democratic Denver convention.
Oh, yes. Bryan could do hsrm-so
much harm that II might take the coun.
try many long years TO recover from
the damage done by four years OF
Bryan In the White House
But Bryan will do no harm because
he will pot have the opportunity. be
cause the American people are going TO
elect as their president William II
Taft. the candidate OF the Republican
party. the impartial Judge. the con
