English Opinion Oh Preslden-
tial Election.

The English press and the pub
lie generally has taken it for
granted that Taft will be the next
President, but more recent ad-
vices have reached London which
have altered this view consider
ably. The Economist has an arti-
Gle which indicates the belief that
the contest will be very close, with
several factors in favor of Bryan.
The following extracts of the arti-
Gle are of interest:
''FinancieIs appear to count
upon the election of Mr.. Taft and
regard that certainty as reassuring
to investors, but we think it quite
arguable that, so far as the Amer
ican railways are concerned the
Democratic platform is more
promising than the Republican,
for great increase in transit trade
would certainly follow the reduc-
tion of the tariff and the repeal of
duties upon trust-controlled pro-
ducts.
"Now that silver has been aban-
doned by Bryan, the sound
money Democrats have rallied to
his side, supporting his organiza-
tion, and he probably can count
upon the united support of the
Democratic party if he can man
age to avoid blazing indiscretions
in the course of the campaign.
1.-The chief reason for supposing
that MIR. Bryan will win is that no
party in the United States has
ever survived financial panic and
severe business depression. This
is very much our own English ex.
perience.

Wages and Cost of Living.


According to Bulletion No. "
of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, the prices of the staple
necessaries of living increased AZ
per cent and the wages of labor 3. Z
per cent in the year 1907. But
while making this statistical con-
cession the department keeps in
the background the actual indus
trial conditions Of the latter
months of 1907, especially in the
loss of employment Workings
men who in spite of all their eff.
forts did not succeed in retaining
employment, because so many mills
and factories closed or partly sus.
pended operations, are not likely
to derive much comfort from the
official information that wages
slightly increased in their branch
of labor.
In the last quarter of 1907 in
the iron and steel industries only
forty out of every hundred work
ingmen were employed, while tens
of thousands returned to their
homes in Europe to await revival
of prosperity. 1t is to be observed
at the same time that the statistics
of the department relate for the
most part - organized labor. But
what of the thousands of unOr-
ganized wOrkingmen, clerks and
Others. whose wages largely de-
pend on the will or capacity of
their employersi Republican cam
paign organs and orators will have
to strike "the full dinner pail" out
of their budget this year if they
do not wish to quarrel too openly
and notoriOusly with the truth.
The most clever array of labor
statistics cannot conceal the fact
that the masses of the people who
earn their living by their toll are
Systematically exploited by the
predatory trusts enjoying the priv
ileges and favOrs granted by the
Republican party.

A Navy for Aggression.

The country has never been in
any doubt about the sort of a
navy that the President wanted,
nor has it had much doubt about
the use that he has for a navy.
But he has never been quite so
explicit as he was in addressing
the officers at the Navy War Col
lege.
A defensive navy, a navy for
thegprotection of our coasts, he
has profound contempt for.
Better no navy than that. What
he demands Is navy that can be
sent to the Baltic or the Sea of
Japan, the coast of Africa or the
Mediterranean. With such a navy
we can depart from the national
policies that prevailed from the
beginning down to 1901. We
can intrude ourselves into every
international difficulty. We can
make ourselves felt in Turkey
and China and Patagonia. We
can be a World Power in the
militant sense of England and
Germany and Russia. We have
never done this before. No states.
man OF ours before Theodore
Roosevelt wanted to, and all of
our great men from Washington
down to the death of Mr.. Nc.
Kinley warned us against any
such policy.
Mr.. Roosevelt purports to rest
his demand for an aggressive navy
upon the MonrOe Doctrine, which
he has found convenient for any
purpose from the dismem berment
of South American Republic
to the regulation of affairs in
Manchuria. The Monroe Doc
trine originated more than eighty
years ago, and it has been main
tanned by all of our Presidents,
when occasion arose, with no
such navy as MIR. Roosevelt in !
sists upon. The doctrine was
originally a defiance OF and a
warning to three of the greatest
powers of Europe. and it accom-
plished its purpose. The Holy
Alliance succumbed before it.
James Buchanan maintained il
in Central America and Grover
Cleveland in Venezuela. An
drew Johnson showed it to Napo
leon III and the French support
of Macmillan was withdrawn.
1t is not the Monroe Doctrine
that demands an aggressive navy
1t is the Roosevelt Doctrine o.
militarism, of belligerency, of in
terventlon in International af
fairs that do not concern us, tha
calls for this new naval policy

The Philadelphia Record
which opposed Mr.. Bryan in
1896 and 1900, says: "Under a
deep sense of the responsibility
therein involved, the Record has
determined to support the candi.
dates of the Democratic party.
There is a drift in both parties
away from the safe constitutional
moorings. But of immediate and
vital issues that divide the polit-
ical opinion of the nation, the
Democratic party is most firmly
rooted in the faith of the fathers.
For the past thirty years, the
Record day in and day out. has
striven for tariff reform. 1t will
fight on under the lead of Bryan,
who believes that the protective
principle is no. only unjust but
unconstitutional. 1t will fight on
for unfettered trade and equal
rights under whatever leadership
the war is waged, in the belief
that the good of the masses is
deeply involved in the result.n
The New York Evening Post
says: mo intelligent survey of
the nations defenses against
Bryan can blink the truth that
they have been greatly weakened
during the past four years. 1t is
not possible today to rally the
conservative forces of the country
in opposition to Bryan so splen-
didly as in 1896. Every body
knows the reason why. You can
not revile a man whom you have
initiated. A party that has ap-
propriated Bryan's ideas can not,
with good effect, attack his per.
son. At the very beginning of
the Republican campaign, it is
the part, whether of frankness
or sound generalship to admit
that the power of resistance to
Bryan has been much broken by
four years of yielding to him.
President Roosevelt's avowed and
deliberate purpose has been to
head of Bryan by stealing his
issues. The argument, or threat,
which he has constantly used has
been: If you do not go half of
the way with me, You will have
to go the whole way with Bryan
Well, we see now what comes of
the plan of fighting a dangerous
enemy by surrendering to him.
The Bryan who was to be extin
guished is exalted higher than
ever.
