to purry the fitn gcrlng Mow given tel
l > opocnille doctrines by the re\lvlng proa-
perlty by reproaching the American
funncr for profiting on the misfortunes
of other countries through higher prices
for his products Is too gauzy to succeed
as a scheme to manufacture political
capital. The Increase In the price of
grain due to foreign demand Is proof
substantial of the correctness of the posi
tion taken by the republicans last
year that free coinage would not
affect the value of what the farmer
las to sell abroad because Its
irlce Is Used by competition In
lin world's markets. The American
farmer has not run prices up by any cor-
ier of the supply , but he Is simply shar-
ng In the advance cause'd by poor crops
n the countries that usually have a stir-
) lus of grain to dispose of. The Ameri
can farmer is not responsible for the
nlsfortiinps of these other countries any
uoro than they have been responsible
for crop failures In America , but quite
lie contrary , Is entitled to credit for com-
ng to their rescue. In securing pay-
nent In gold 100-cent dollars Instead of
lO-cent silver dollars the American
farmer reaps a double advantage , and
this he owes to the defeat of the free
coinage propaganda and the restoration
) f the republican party to the control of
the natloual government.

The popular enthusiasm with which
President McKlnlcy was greeted at Huf-
falo was a tribute to the man as well
is to the olllce of chief magistrate of
the republic. William .McKinley holds a
high place In tin ; esteem of his country
men not alone because ho is president ,
but for tliu reason that lie Is In the best
sense a representative American and a
sincere friend of the people. Governor
Black of New York , In his speech wel
coming the Grand Army veterans , said :
"There is one soldier hero in whoso wel
come every citl/i-n will join with un-
cinialod zeal and fervor. Not alone be
cause he holds the highest olllco in the
world , but because his character , un
spotted through all his years , his im
pulses strong ami high , his whole life by
its unobtrusive power , have ennobled
and enriched the olllco which he holds. "
This voices the universal feeling that
the man is worthy of the olllco and that
ho lias a personal claim to the popular
respect.
Mr. Melvlnley was one of the most
popular public men In the nation long
before he became a candidate for the
presidency. Large audiences listened to
him in political campaigns , not only in
his own state but everywhere ho wont ,
and few republican leaders commanded
greater attention or were able to more
strongly Impress the people. As presi
dent William Melvinley has grown in
popular esteem because ho has shown
more strongly than ever before that he
is one of the people and that his highest
wisli and purpose is to conserve their
interests and promote their welfare , lie
goes among them with the freedom and
conlldonce of the plainest citizen and he
receives them with the courtesy and cor
diality of a true American gentleman.
The barriers that formerly separated
president and people have been thrown
down and there is no more hospitable
home in the land than that of President
McKinley. Ho believes In the people
and they heartily reclprocMe Ills con-

The latest advices regarding the situa
tion on the frontier of India show that
the uprising there is of a formidable
character. The capture of Important
strategical positions by the Afridis , a
powerful tribe , and the. fact that several
other tribes are manifesting a hostile dis
position , make a condition of affair.--
which seem likely to severely test the
military resources of the Indian govern
ment. It does not appear that the revolt
or insurrection Is designed as a menace
to lirltish control in India. It is prohahl.v
a repetition of tribal uprisings that havi
occurred In the past and which it scorn.-
almost Impossible to guard against. lint
if It should lie permitted to spread It ! -
easy to understand that it might read :
proportions that would threaten Hrltlsli
control in India. There is int indication
of any apprehension on this score in Eng
land , the belief being that the forces on
the frontier are sutlicient to conduct the
operations , Htlll the possibility of having
to send ttoops from England Is recog
nized. It has been suggested that the re
volt on the frontier of India was Inspired
by emissaries of the Turkish government
and has a far-reaching purpose. This 1 *
improbable , yet the'sultan Is not incapa-
bio of such a thing If lie could see an.v
advantage for himself in It. Itut at all
events It appears evident that the Indian
government has a task on its hands
which promises to prove both troublesome -
some and expensive.
There Is another complication for the
Hrltlsh government In .South Africa. Th <
speech of the president of the South Af
rican republic , In which he ivnoiincoil
the su/.eralnty of Great Hrllain , can
hardly fall to make a stir In British olll-
clal circles. The British government
claims certain authority in regard to the
foreign relations of the Hour republic
under the treaty of 18S1 , but President
Krugor declared that this convention
gives Great Hritaln no such authority
and consequently his government could
not ivcugnlzu It. This declaration of in
dependence will not. II Is safe to assume ,
bo quietly assented to by the Hrlllsh
government , because to do so would be
a sacrifice , more or le.ss serious , of pres
tige in South Africa. The Itoor govern
ment will probably bo Informed that
Great Britain Insists upon the continued
recognition of su/oralnty and as the for
mer will undoubtedly bo found firm In re.
fusing such recognition there Is obviously
a possibility of grave trouble in that
quarter.
The Turkish situation involves Great
Britain lit a perplexing complication ,
Her attitude Is not approved by the othei
powers and it has been intimated that
she may withdraw from the concert. An
other report has had It that the ambas
sadors at Constantinople of live of the
powers contemplated signing the peace
preliminaries without Great Hritaln , It
Is quite possible that this will ultimata ! ?
bo done and In the event of being thin-
Ignored would the British government
accept the situation or endeavor to over
turn the nctlon of the other powers ? In
other words , would Great Britain sus
tain Ttirkttt' In ri\ecllr | R whatever con
ditions might not be acceptable or wills-
factory to the latter ?
Omitting the Bering sea controversy
with the United Slates and some minor
matters , Great Britain has complications
enough on hnnd to tax the best wisdom
and the shrewdest diplomacy of the
statesmen In control of the government.
Of course tlio republicans of Pennsyl
vania will carry the state ( Ids year ,
.hough no such majority as that
of last year Is to be expected ,
because them Is only a state
treasurer and a Justice of the supreme
court to bo chosen. The slate conven
tion was hold yesterday and the plat
form rcallirnis the doctrines ciii.nrlatod
n ( lie republican national platform of
ast year and pledges the republicans of
Pennsylvania anew to sound money and
in honest dollar. It Is declined that
"dollar wheat has sounded the death
knell of the free silver heresy. " The
ast administration Is charged with hav
ing violated the spirit of the civil serv
ice law and the present administration
Is called upon to remedy the wrong.
This Is In line with the Ohio platform
and In view of the action already taken
by President McKlnlcy In regard to pro
tecting those In the classillcd service Is
not likely to have any Intli'.ence with
the administration. The only effect of
such utterances Is to encourage the oppo
nents of civil service reform to furnish
an excuse for men like Representative
Grosvenor to combat the reform. It
seems to us to be a very unwise position
for a republican convention to take.

How well It sounds for a paper like
the World-Herald , that Is notoriously for
sale , to pose as the unselfish , self-Maori-
Ilclng and undolllcd organ ( if democracy
by accusing lifelong democrats who op
pose its methods , of betraying the dem
ocratic party.
Is this not the same \Vorld-Horald that
In 1 SI ! ) , while pretending to support the

Is not this the same World-Herald that
after he had admitted his guilt , pro
claimed Henry Bolln , the defaulting re
publican city treasurer , to be honest ,
while a memorandum slip was lying in
tlio city cash drawer representing stolen
money advanced to G. M. Hitchcock by
the embezzler ?
Is not this the same World-Herald that
did everything In its power to shield the
republican state house ring from im
peachment and prostituted its columns
to their defense and JiistillcationV
Is not this the same World-Herald that
served as a political fence for Hartley ,
the defaulting republican state treasurer ,
in return for favors received and whoso
editor and proprietor were In almost
constant conference with the embezzler ,
both before and after Ids conviction ?
Is not tills the same World-Herald thai
changed Its policy completely on the sil

paid imdiir gidso'of a stock subscription ,
and began to advocate 10 to 1 free coin
age which it had previously denounced
as robbery , in order to secure the purse
which the silver bulllonairo.s had raised
for that purpose ?
Republicans can certainly look on with
equanimity when an organ with the mer
cenary turn-coat record of" the World-
Herald Impugns the motives of staunch
democrats , conscientiously battling to
overthrow the domination of a boodle
machine in their own party.
Senator Thurston explains Ids deter
mination not to 1)0 ) a candidate for re
election by tlie assertion that the United
States senate is no place for a compara
tively poor man. Tills statement has
been made on previous occasions by
other senators , but it is well known that
many of the mcxst serviceable members
of the senate are by no means rich. The
prejudice that : exists against tlio senate
as compared with the house has arisen
largely from the popular idea that it
has become a millionaires' club. Should
it really come to the point that no poor
man can retain a seat in tlio senate on
account of the pecuniary sacrifices some
way will have to be found to restore the
flavor of democracy.
What would the business men of

When so candid and clear-headed an ob
server as Prof. Jamrn llryce , though a pro
fessed free trader , acknowledges that there
have been conspicuous examples of prosper
ity based upon the protection policy. It may
well cause frco trade theorlats to stop and
examine their ground. I'rof. Hryce cited
Germany and Hussla aa Htates where protec
tion hao led to prosperity , and yet there Is
no nation In the world where It ban done
so much to promote general prosperity , and
especially In the department of labor , as
the United States. The warning which the
professor gave as to the Influence of protec
tion In building up trustn Is more than an
swered by the fact that there Is probably
no country in the world where trusts ami

WASHINGTON , Aug. 20. In connection
with the coming Trench exposition , Secre
tary of Agriculture Wilson hopes to develop
a plan by which the breeding of liors-vs
for use In the cavalry of European armies
will be encouraged. The demand for horses
for army use Is very great In IJurope. The
Kruuch government sent an army olllccr to
the- United States some time ago to learn
how far horses could bo drawn from this
country for the Kronen cavalry and artillery.
The report was most favorable to American
breeding and to the abundant supply. He-
contly Hie needs of England In Its military
operations In Aala and Africa have led tint
country to look to Argentina for cavalry
horses , and tlio first consignment of 600
from Argentine left Uiiciios Ayres this month
for British military service at Capetown.
Thus far no ntops have been taken by this
government to foster the trade for American
horses , but Mr. Wilson Is considering the
advisability of Rending abroad nil expert
who will Investigate the needs of the cav
alry of Europe , with a view to meeting this
need by American bred horses. It will
doubtless stimulate horsebrcedlng at a tlmo
when that business has sulTcred much
through the Inroads of electricity and the
bicycle.

That this country has reached a new era ii
Tespect to Its manifest destiny of feeding th <
nations has been by many overlooked. Fo
thirty years or more some of the ablest olll
da's at home and diplomatists abroad havi
been striving to open a way for larger con
sumption In foreign countries of Indian con
from the United States. Some of the elabo
rate accounts which have been printed am
widely circulated with that object In vlcv
have elicited the derision or the unthinking
Hut the persistent efforts have not proved en
tirely In vain. It Is not the fact , as sonn
liavo carelessly stated , that exports of con
never exceeded thcee of wheat In earlle
years. That happened In the fiscal year 1S77
with a short yield of wheat ; nor was then
a wide difference In exports of the two gralui
In the fiscal year 1S30. when a great croj
of wheat and also of corn were raised ani
were met by an unusual fo'elgn demand , si
that exports of wheat exceeded 109,000,00 (
bushels and exports of corn exceeded 103.UUO ,
000 bushels in the same year. Hut tne las
crop year has been the firat In which tin
outgo of corn has greatly exceeded .that o
wheat , and it Is also the flr-it time In tin
history of the country when for two succea
blve years the exports of corn and of wiiea
have each sunxtised 100,000,000 bushels.
Since 1892 when the pa'fal ' failure of cropi
abroad brought an unexpected demand foi
American wheat , so that 225,003,812 bushels
Including flour , were exported In that year
2nd 191.912.133 buahels In the following croi
vear the foreign demand both for wheat am
corn materially diminished , until in 1806 tin
duantitv of wheat exportca fell to 120,113,95 !
bi.3hon : ! , Hour Included. Hut In that year con
took a new statt , and exports ro'o to 101-
100,375 buahels. Exports of cornmcai nn
heie Included with corn , as exports of wheal
Hour are with wheat. Many expected thai
( ho famine In India and the shortm-so of
crops in some other countries would make
the outgo of wheat phenomenal In the ycai
which has just ended , and no doubt It wouK
have been much larger , and the price Ii
this country would have ruled much higher
but for the enormoua crop of corn and the dla-
nottltlou of foreign countries to take from tin
United Statca larger supplies of It than ever ,
So the exports rose In the crop year rccentlj
ended to 178,817,417 bushels , meal Included
agalnEt 145OS2CI6 bushels of wheat , flour in
cluded.
The extraordinary crop of corn , came just
In the right tlmo to supply European necda
at low prices , For many years It has been
observed that when corn could be oupplled
In largo quantities for less or not much
moro than half the price of wheat the for
eign takings of corn have tended to Increase.
Thus In the four years , 1878-81 , with foreign
requirements large , the average export price
of corn was less than half the price of wheat
every ycur , and the shipments of corn ro-
malncd steady between 87,000.000 and 100-
000.000 bushels. Again , la the ycara 18S9-90
the price of corn wus eorcely more than halt
that of wheat , anh. the exports Increased.
Hut last year , after July and August , the
price of corn ruled through the whole crop
year below half the price of wheat , and the
average for the first half of the crop year
was but 31.G cents for corn , ugalnat 71.9
cents for wheat. The rlfio In the price of
wheat has since made the difference still
wider.
The Increase In demand for American corn
In foreign marketo opcna the way for a
larger business hereafter than has ever been
done In grain , because there Is ncarcely
any limit to the supply of corn which can
bo produced hero cheaply In a year of favor
able weather. If more than 2,000,000,000
bushels can bo grown , as In 1800 or 1892 or
last year , there U every reason to suppose
that the quantity can be materially Incretoed
without any material advance In the range
of cost. If to , the dependence of foreign
countries upon the United States for food
may naturally Increase , eo that oven In ordi
nary years our farmers may be called upon
for somewhat larger supplies , and In year *
when crops abroad run short quantities much
exceeding thwo hitherto sent abroad may
be required. The financial Independence of
this country wilt be hastened , It U obvious ,
If a much larger share of Its products comes
to bo required for the food of other na-
tlors , and the Industries or finances of the
country will become less liable to bo dis
turbed by buiilnesa disasters or by wars
and rumors of war * ki Europe.

The apparent shelving of the silver Issue
has brought about a great acccxs of en
thusiasm for the true- and eternal principle ?
of democracy. In all of the states where
there is a democratic senator vvhos i tenure
of idllcj is threatened , there Is a platform
that ulinply yearus for these eternal and un
quenchable principles. Senator Gornmn of
Maryland \\ants.them brought forth and
duntcd for the campaign , the New York Situ
demands that they be repainted and nailu.l
to the mast head. Neither of these authori
ties Kittle specifically what these principles
ate. They simply yearn , What arc the
eternal principles of democracy ? Surveying
the history of the party It would be tlifil-
cult , almost Impossible , to say what thry
are. The principles of 1S01 are probably
dead , these of 1.Sti ! ) eecni to be somewhat
mixed. Detwcen those date.- ! what were the
principles of democracy ? Opposition : o re
sumption was ono In 1870 , that Is hardly
a live Issue today. Economy wns om ; In
1SS4. when Thomas A. Hcndrlcks split the
cars of the groundings with a demand for n
sight of the books. He got it and appro
priations went onward and upward until u
democratic house and senate actually out
did Heed's famous billion dollar congres-s.
Economy does not seem to bo the watch
word of any of our parties nowadays. In
several campaigns the democracy WHS for
a tariff for revenue , but In Its platform of
189(5 ( It did not insist upon that. The democ
racy s eternal principle Is hard to come up
with. If we seek In a permanent and philo
sophic scheme of government wo shall prob
ably not llud It. The fact Is parties do not
have everlasting principles. They are"ag
gregations of men who agree for the time be
ing. All of our parties are opportunism.
They want to get In and when they get In
they hate to get out. The republican party ,
the democratic party and the populist party
are all In favor of power and that Is the most
you can say for them ur about them.

For four years an English royal commis
sion had been at work trying to Und mea.n
of supporting the English aristocratic land
holder against the competition of the shirt
sleeve landowners of Missouri , Illinois , Kan
sas , and the west generally.
The final report of the commission has
just been submitted and In U the commission
by Its silence as to a means of remedying
"English agricultural depression , " virtually
confesses that it sees the futility of trying
to reverse the course of nature. The prin
cipal Interest which attaches to the rej-ort
arises from its recognition of the existing
situation rather than from any discovery
of new laws of trade.
"An Investigation of the Increasing vol
ume of Imports of agricultural products , "
says the report , "has shown that the United
States has held the premier position
throughout the past twenty years in the sup
ply of wheat and meat , excluding mutton ,
while slio lias also contributed the major
portion of the imports of inal/.e though her
shipments of this article have since 1890 been
exceeded by those of Houmanla. Argentina
has In recent years ranked next to the
United States as an exporter of wheat and
meat to this country. Other prominent con
tributors lo Hie Imports of cereals are Rus
sia for wheat and barley and India for wheal
alone , though the Indian pupply has fallen
off Australasia Is rcoponslblc for the major
portion of the imports of wool and mutton ,
and wo have recently received large consign
ments of butter from this source. Canada
pinl the United States practically monopolize
the Import trade In cheese , while Holland
supplies nearly all.the margarine. We have
already dUicussed In some detail the condi
tions under which the eocporls of wheat from
the United Slatcrf have been maintained. The
great feature of the production of wneat In
that country has been the steady movement
toward the virgin soils of the west , and. the
reductleci of the wheat acreage In the older
pastern and central states. ThU change has
proceeded concuriently with a progressive
fall In the price of wheat , which may be
explained to Fome extent by the fact that
the cost of production U considerably le.v :
In the more recently settled territories than
In regions which have l > ecn settled and culti
vated for a longer period. The rapid dc-
velopimvit of the exports of wheat from
Argentina is alFO to bo attributed partly lethe
the circumstance that the cc.tt of cultiva
tion through the system adopted on virgin
laiid.s 1 much bulow that Incurred by pro
ducers In older centers of production. "
It la hard to eeo how a clearer view of
the greatest movement of the century In
trade and production could he given than in
these clear-cut sentence ? . To grasp their
meaning ad a whole la to understand the
basic facts of the history of the world slnro
1800 , for this history Is.'after all , not that
made by Krupp guns and bayonets , but by
the plow and by the xteam engine which
transports the. product of the plow from
producer to consumer.
The report of this commU-'slon bring ! ) out
In a striking way how closely modern de
vices of transportation have hrotiKht all na
tions of the modern world together. As a
report It IB a confession that agricultural
aristocracy la no longer possible In England.
U accepts the fact that the no Verru and the
Howards , the barons and the dukrs of the
Norman Invasion , have been met at a final
IlefitlDgH and been defeated there by the
Saxon Smiths. Hrowna and Perkinses the
"cne-gallUEed" farmers of the winteni states
of America , descendants for the moM part
of ancestors who wore once U-uanUi of these
oatno lordly estates.
The beginning of the end was the building
of the ilret 1'aclflc railroad In the United
Statw. The opening of the transmlEslnslppl
west , through steam transportation , made
our destiny an the greatest nation of agri
cultural exporters In the history of the
world almost a fact accomplished. Our In
ventions In agricultural machinery , the
steam thrasher , the Improved reaper , the
hulky plow and the like have done the
rent. Our position as uxportcru of farm
products Is now without a parallel In his
tory , and the whole fabric of our buulneea
la eo far dependent on U that tbo failure
of MlMoiirl , Illinois. Kan A , lown find th

by the r.nRlloh manufacturer. Without our
cheap food productn and our agricultural
raw material. Knpl.imi would bo driven out
of the world R markets by rjermnny In- Iron

our competition , supported by the un
changeable determination of Kngllnh manu
facturing towns ami trade centers to allow
nothing to be ilono which will cripple HUB-
land an nn exporter of manufactured goodii
simply forcei the landholders to recognize
that for them revolution Is already ac
complished. Indeed , they have already ac
cepted It. Still holding their landed es-
tatiw. their "upper cl R ! " life of pleasure In
no longer based on them. Under the cor
