business depression, with lower wages
where wages were paid at all, and no
wages whatever at many points where
work had been plentiful and wages
high. The wage earners; as they soon
discovered, had inflicted a heavy loss
on themselves. Two years later they
voted to bring in a Republican house.

Personal Representative of President

Believed Suspense.

Washington. D. C.-John Lind, per-

ton, arrived safely in the City of
Mexico, according to advices received
at the State Department from Charge
O'Shaughnessy of the United States
embassy. Secretary Bryan remained
at his desk long after midnight to re-
ceive the news.
News of the safe arrival of Mr.. Lind
with his wife and party in the Mex
lean capital followed several hours of
suspense. The complete absence of
any information of the progress of
the party from the time it left Vera
Cruz added to the uneasiness which
was heightened by vague rumors of
attacks on Mr.. Lind and his family
and assistants.

Democratic Dominance.
country's Interests Demand That Re

Their Differences and Unite
Against Party in Power.

Gradually the fundamental facts OF
the political situation brush away the
cobwebs of factional feeling and mar
row personal influences of all kinds
which stand in the way of the union
of Republicans and Progressives who
are alike in distressing and condemn
ing the methods and policies of the
party now in power at Washington
Every day the tariff is discussed con-
vinces more Progressives and more
Republicans that the only choice is
between union and Democracy. Every
great, vital measure like the currency
bill which is brought forward by the
democrats who are running things in
congress. brings more Progressives
and Republicans to a realizing sense
of the folly of division in the face of
the common enemy.
The logic of events is plain 1t is
impossible to escape the conclusion
that those who will not accept any
reasonable or possible plan of bring
Ing the Republicans and the Progress
SKIES together are virtually consent
ing to the indefinite domination of the
national government by the Demo
cratic organization and the admiAis-
tration of the peoples business by the
party which stands for minority of
the voters and for a program many
times repudiated at the polls and new
er approved in a national election,
since 1892.
When this choice becomes entirely
clear to the people of the United
States there will be an end of the
present separation of the anti-Demo-
cratic, anti-free trade majority into
two armies, each too weak to beat the
Democrats alone, while both together
could easily GUST the minority party

PREPARED FOR WAR
UNITED STATES ALL READY IF IN
PREVENTION IN MEXICO is
DECIDED UPON
PRESIDENT REMAINS FIRM
War and Navy Departments Have
Plans All Worked Out for Quick
Blow If Necessity
Arises.

Washington, D. C-All kilograms
necessary to order the troops to Mex
leo and the navy to the coasts of the
country have been written and signed.
Should it be decided to intervene
in the affairs of Mexico, all the Sec
rotary of War will do is to reach into
a pigeonhole of his desk and turn the
kilograms over to the operators in the
War Department. At the same time
the Secretary of the Navy will go
through a like performance and in a
very few minutes the soldiers and
sailors VIII be on their way to Mexico.
President Wilson still sits tight and
intervention apparently is no nearer
now than at any other time in the
crisis. But the United States is ready.
1t was announced by Secretary
Bryan that Mr.. Lind would not arrive
at Vera Cruz before Saturday night.
Secretary Daniels of the Navy Depart
ment explained in this connection that
while the battleship New Hampshire
could make the trip from Galveston to
Vera Cruz in thirty-six hours, mini
mum time, its ordinary time for the
journey would be about fifty or sixty
hours, and indicated that the admin
istration did not regard Mr.. Linds
haste.
Ever since the first revolution in Mex
leo army and navy officers have been
preparing for an invasion of the coun-
try. They have been working out the
smallest details, so that upon direc-
lions from the President, the COM
mander-in-chief of the army and navy,
all of the available troops of the army
and navy and ships of the navy will
be ready to move.
Already military authorities all
agree that when the United States de-
cides to use force in Mexico 1t should
strike a hard and quick blow. The
throwing of large military force into
Mexico and the prompt blockading of
the country's seaports will do much
to suppress any general uprising in
the country against the United States.
