Foolish Trading"

As producers and builders, the
American people can excel all pre-
vious civilization and we are pres
ent-day marvel in business efficiency,
but in dealing with foreign countries
we are a sorry lot of traders. Ever
since VIM. Penn traded the Indians a
handful Of trinkets for what is now
the State of Pennsylvania, the Ameri-
can people have been selling their
birthright to foreigners for mess of
pottage, so to speak.
We export over $50, 100000 Of cattle
and their products per annum, which
feed the nations of Europe, and our
American heiresses spend similar
sum in buying and maintaining counts,
dukes and titled peerages.' These
foreign noblemen are, as a rule, alb
solutely worthless-in fact become a
perpetual liability for it costs more
money to operate and keep them in
repair than it does to run our cotton
mills. European royalty puts the
black sheep of it's families on the
block and our rich American girls
buy them and we virtually exchange
railroads, wheat fields and millions Of
dollars worth of products of farm,
mine and factory for titled paupert
who could not be resold for any sum
1t does notrequire foreign treaties, a
feet Of war vessels or tariff revision
to stop this enormous loss. 1t needs
only common sense in the homes Of
the rich.

The Amendments.

JEFFERSON CITy, September 5.-The
fifth of the series of arguments on the
measures to be submitted to vote at
the coming election was to day issued
by Secretary of State Cornelius Roach.
Those wishing to vote intelligently on
Amendment Number Five should
preserve this article. The sole pur-
pose in giving these arguments is to
furnish information to the voter, and
the Secretary of State is in no way
responsible for assertions made on
either side of any subject discussed.
The champions of Amendment No.
give the following reasons why the
measure should be adopted:
This amendment applies only to St.
Louis and Kansas City, and its pur-
pose is to give these cities the power
by two-thirds majority of their
qualified voters to issue bonds to an
amount not exceeding per cent. of
the value of the taxable property
therein, for the purpose of construct
ing or acquiring subways and their
appurtenances for the transportation
of persons, baggage, express and
freight, and for pipes, wires and ca
bles used for public service purposes,
to be owned and operated or leased
by the city. Because of the rapid
growth Of these two cities in size and
population and the congestion of
traffic in their business districts, it
will be necessary for their traffic to be
handled by means of subways, as in
other large cities, to relieve the con-
gestion in the business districts, and
to provide for rapid transportation to
outlying portions of the city. Because
of the large sums involved in the con-
struction Of such subways, private
capital has been slow to invest in them
and they must be constructed with
public funds. They can be leased to
private enterprises for an amount
sufficient to pay the interest and pro-
vide sinking fund for the bonds.
OPPOSING ARGUMENT.
The reasonsgiven by the opponents
of Amendment No. 5 why it should
be voted down are as follows:
If this Amendment is adopted, the
people of the State will have confer
red on St. Louis the power to increase
its debt-making power to buy or
build subway for traffic. Taxes in
st. Louis for city purposes are already
higher than mad cats back, and ev-
cry time the subject Of taxes is men
toned the average st, Louisian froths
at the mouth at the amount of taxes
he pays as compared with the amount
his country cousin 9sys in, MisFouri.
The way to keep taxes dow is 10. vete
against propositions like this. Save
st. Louis from it's extravagant mo-
tions. The metropolis has made great
progress the past century without a
subway and will continue to flourish
without mortgaging it's people and
future generations for an expensive
project not at all necessary.

The Republican Refuge: Lies.

(From the st. Louis Republic.)
The Republicans of Missouri, des-
perate, have thrown morals over
board. They have taken to what a
certain Old Book calls ga refuge of
ies.r
In those matters of political facts
into which enter the factors of SYM
pathy or mere personal opinion, it is
not to be expected that partisans Of
opposite political faiths should see
eye to eye. Such expressions as
''success in administration" "econ-
nomy in the expenditure ofrevenues,"
deficiency of government" and the
like are relative and every partisan
uses them as he likes. But there are
many things in politics WHICH may
be Las exactly determined as the
time Of day, and in treating of these
things the standards of truth are
severe and are alike for all men Of all
parties. And while the public is very
tolerant Of partiality in matters Of
partisan opinion, when it comes to
questions of exactly demonstrable
fact, it applies the standards Of the
Decalogue to the utterance of party
or party organ as it does to the ut
terance OF banker.
The Republic charges that the Re-
publican platform, adopted in st.
Louis Wednesday, lies about the I'm
Gerwood tariff and its operation. We
quote:
The Democratic party has enacted
tariff law that has resulted in turn
ing against us the balance of trade,
taking from the American farmer the
protection he has enjoyed in the past
and leaving our people to the mercy
of the competition of the coolie labor
of the Orient and cheap labor and
lands OF the South America Republics
taking duty from the manufactured
products of other countries that has
resulted in flooding the American
market with foreign made goods
forcing our domestic manufactures
into bankruptcy and throwing more
than a million Of men out Of employ.

and crippling our railroads and bring.

Now, there might be partisan differ
ences Of opinion as to whether tht
Underwood tariff was well drawn ant
equitable, but there can be none at al
as to the bAlanoe.of trade. That is th,
difference in value between the inn
ports and the exports OF nation
and to ascertain it Is merely simpl,
problem in subtraction. The officia
statistics for the fiscal year ending
