HIT A SORE SI'OT. Discrimination Against Home Htiicrs ami Favoring Foreigners. The Democratic charge that (he American people are paying higher prices for articles of domestic nninii rticttire than arc paid by foreigners for Identical articles exported from the United States has hit the G. O. P. In a sore spot. This subject Is gone Into very thoroughly In the Democratic Campaign hook, where It Is shown that Americans arc compelled to pay from ten to thirty per cent, more for articles Hindu In this country by "iroteeted" manufacturers, than Is paid by Hiiro peaiis and Asiatics for Identically the same articles made, hero and shipped abroad. Many instances of such dis crimination against our home people arc cited, particularly in the lines of agricultural Implements nnd builder' hardware. To break the force of thlR charge the State Department prints a string of statements made by American Con suls In European countries, In which It Is alleged that manufacturers In England and Ccrmany also sell manu factured articles abroad cheaper than they do at home. It Is plain that these statements were put forth under orders from the Administration, ami that little cam was taken to have them accurate. P.iit even If it bn true that European manufacturers sell their "surplus odds and ends" abroad at reduced prices, as one Consul says they do, of what Interest Is that to the average Ameri can who Is held up by our "protect ed" manufacturer and compelled to pay. not for "odds and ends." but for his farming tools and implements. his engines and in.iel.Iii"r.v, -and scores of other articles, from (en to thirty per cent, more than his European brother has to pay to the wuio manufacturer for like articles? The American people are not com plaining because tuunnfnolnrers ship their "odds and ends" to foreign i.otin tries and sell them at low prices. Their complaint Is that they are discriminat ed against It favor of the foreigner; that they arc being robbed right and left by manufacturers who shield themselves behind the Dingley tariff. MARRYING IN Till; ARMY. Class Distinction to Do Fostered by ('oruin's Proposition. tlenornl Corbin's Idea that army life should be governed as a social mid ar istocratic organism was probably Im bibed In (ieriiiiiny, where the tionernl appeared on drc-s parade a year or so ago as n guest 'of the Kaiser. That his Idea has the cordial approbation' of President Hoosovolt, there can be little doubt. For It Is at least a minor step In the President's grand match toward full-Hedged "imperialism." In brief, General Corbl.' proposes that no otHccr In the army shall marry without the authority of the Secretary oi War, and not then unless he can prove to tho satisfaction of the Secre tary, that his Income will be sutllelent to support himself and his family. Such a rule prevails In Certnany, with the result Hint a lot of rich, and in many cases, silly girls, have been brought In to army circles; class distinction has been fostered and army olllcers there have become Indolent, Insolent and profligate. The best arinj olilcers In the world have been bred In this country and without Interference by the (lovern ment in their private domestic affairs. Tho great American generals were, as a rule, married men, having families dependent upon (hem, and although their salaries were small In compari son with those paid to olllcciR of like rank now. they contrived to get along and usually do something better thnii mako both ends meet. Yankee soldiers have been accustomed to go Into battle to tho tune of "The (llrl I l.oft De hind Me," and this custom is likely to he kept up long after (Jeneral Corhln shall have ceased to ape the customs so dear to the heart of the Kaiser nnd his would-be rival. President Hoose velt. HOUSES SUSPICION. i:crlastlng Habit or Republicans of ('rasping Creitli For All (iood. Claiming all virtues for the Hepub llcan party, and telling what "wo" have done does not slop criticism, but, rather, tends to arouse suspicion that the charges made against Hepubllcan policies and practice cannot be dis proved. That the tariff-fostered trusts tire plundering the people by greatly Increasing the cost of living Is too pat ent for a hold denial to count with n voter, who Is paying from thirty to forty per cent, more for necessaries of living than In 1S07. Claiming that wages have been ad vanced at the same ratio as tho cost of living will not convince the work man that has hud lite wages reduced that prosperity is rampant, although Hoosevelt may boast and Fairbanks Miilllngly may say so. Standing pat may suit the trusts, but claiming that everything Is so fa vorable tinder Uepubllcan policies that no change Is needed is poor consolation for those who tlnd themselves being plundered by the trusts, with their in come standing still so that their abil ity to pay has decreased one-tlrird. It is easy to claim, but dltticult to ex plain when the facts are against you. Germun Citizens Kaltylrc The Hepubllcan newspapers of Chi cago arc using columns of valuable space In hysterical efforts to prove that Carl Schurz Is a "has been," and utterly without lutluenco among German-Americans. Meanwhile the com ing of Mr. Schurz Is awaited with the greatest Interest by Gorman-Americans who are daily enrolling by hun dreds In the Germaii-Ainerlcan Parker leagues. Parker Stock Is Up. One of the most striking instances of tho appreciation of Judge Parker's letter of acceptance was its reception in Wall Street. Drokers who had been betting on the outcome of the election, offering long odds in favor of Koo&e elt, after reading the letter prepared by Judge Parker, reduced the odds they had been giving aud Parker stock went up materially. PULITZER'S CHARGES.. WHY RUOSIIVELT MADE A BUREAU i OF CORPORATIONS. George B, Curlelyou Tapping Corpora tions For Campaign Funds a ' Grave Question. Your record in your own words, Mr. President, shows that you boiran your crusade for the regulation of the great corporations with an Insistent appeal for "Publicity lu the Interests or the public." You seemed determined to vindicate the people's right to "inspect and examine the workings of the great corporations engaged in Interstate com merce," even if it were necessary to amend the Constitution of (he United States, believing, with many corpora tion lawyers of your own party aud of the Democratic party, for that mat terthat the Sherman, law was uncon stitutional. 'Von demanded this Pub licity "as a right from nil corporations affected by the law," ami "not as a fa vor from some corporations." Your persistence In a good cause tlnally triumphed. Congress, under the pressure of the public opinion that you had so -ikilfttlly directed, enacted the legislation you asked for. it created a Department of Commerce, with a lln reau of Corporation. It extended tho scope of the interstate Commerce law to forbid the giving or receiving of re bates, ft passed an act providing Tor the special advancement In tho Pulled States courts of cases arising under the anil-trust law. It gave you Ihe extraordinary, tho unprecedented ap propriations!' K.i)0,000 to enforce stat utes prohibiting combinations and con spiracles in restraint of trade. 's rt i n 9 A The tlr.st thing to do, as you said lu your speech at Wheeling, was to "tind out the facts." Your Initial step was to appoint as your Secretary of Cdm iiterce your prlvaf -epietary, George It. Cortelyou.

(5. After thee ."SII days of supposed activity and otlicial duty, what does tile public know about the work of this bureau of publicity? Is there a corporation in the Pulled States, Mr. President, whose affairs are administered In greater secrecy than are the affairs of your llureau of Cor porations, which was created to afford "Publicity In the interest of tho pub lic?" Does tho public know any less about the Internal workings of the Standard Oil Company, for example, than It does about the Internal workings of this liiircnu of Corporations? Yet In your letter of acceptance yon have may 1 call it the magnificent an-cTaelty?- to declare of toe act creating this bureau ami of the related acts: The Congress that created tho llu roan of Corporations, which, you say. has been administered "with entire etliclency." gae you the unique, the extraordinary appropriation of S.'iX). (KM) to enforce existing laws against corporations. What Is your record m the expendi ture of this money? About "S'JtJ.OOd of It has been spent for the purpose to which It wes appropriated. The rest has been lying Idle in the Treasury for ."S:! days. 1 D ! ) tt Do you mean to say that yon are in possession of all the "data" as to tho "organization, conduct and manage ment" of the business of these oor. ora tions? It was to collect such data that the bureau was created. Do you mean lo say that this Infor motion, or so much thereof as you have required, has been "made public," as the law says It "shall be?" It was to Insure Mich publicity that you asked for this legislation. On the contrary. Mr. P-esldent. Is I: not truo that not one word, not one syl lable, not one letter has ever appeared of that proper publicity about which you talk so glibly? Uut when your Presidential cam paign began and Mr. Cortelyou had learned all bo needed to know of the secret business atfalrs of the great corporations, you made this Grand In quisitor of Corporations Chairman of your National Committee. And why? Was Mr. Cortelyou a member of the National Committee? No. Was he a member of any commit tee. State or local? No. Had he any reputation or experience as a campaign manager? No. Did the veteran politi cians of your party desire his appoint ment? No. Was there could there be any reason for his appointment ex cept thnt he knows from "diligent in vestigation" the business sfcrets of these great corporations upon which you depend for your campaign fund? a 4 You will pardon a delicate question, Mr. President, but when the most In telligent Mr. Cortelyou goes out "to )!. lect money for your campaign fund, af ter spending tho night In your hospit able home. Is It conceivable that theso corporations do not assume that he rep resents In a peculiarly porsonal man ner the President of the United States? "' Convincing. Herman Didder tNew Yorki-I cor- stder Judge Parker's letter strong and couvluclng. I W-liiil Providence 5nve unit Wlinl Congress in Taking Away, The ppoplo cannot lie tooled all the lime. Pads arc stubborn. Whip them around as you will, mask them, dis guise them; they will, nevertheless, come out to bear witness to the truth. The Hepubllcan party seeks to fool the people. It has sought to mak facts, to disguise them. The Democratic party seeks to re place the facts before the people that thc.v may bear witness to the truth. The people want the truth. .j i The Hepubllcan parly claims that the so-called "era of prosperity" is dite to the wisdom or party policy In en acting tariff and other legislation. President Uoosevelt has endeavored to portray "prosperity" by stating lu his letter or .acceptance that wages have been increased during the last few years in greater proportion than tlio cost of living. uw, the facts refine the President's .statement. These facts are derived from statistics from records. They show that the Increase in wages Is twelve per cent., the increase in the cost of living Is thirty-sewn per cent. Therefore, before the "era of prosper ity" the man who earned .Sl.no a day could buy goods as then valued to the amount of si. no; during the "era of prosperity" the same man received for the same labor -Sl.tJS, Inil the same goods would cost him .:;r: or, putting it In another way. where one dollar's worth of labor was worth one dollar's Avorth of merchandise before the era, during "the last few years." President Hoosuvelt's years of prosperity, one dollar's worth of labor was woith seventy-one and a halt' cents' worth of merchandise. 0 The farmer, the hired man, tin miner, the day laborer, the mechanic in every department of industry, the bookkeeper, clerk and shop girl to-day llnds that "everything is dearer." The rule admits of no exceptions. Labor receives its wages In money. At the counter the value or the dollar when It Is to lie exchanged for merchandise lias shrunk in its purchasing power to se-only-one and one-half cents. It Is a fact that conditions favorable lo this Nation became apparent in 1X07; conditions which to-day should have blessed farmer, manufacturer aud merchant, laborer, clerk and me chanic. Kvcn a Hepublican Congress and a Hepublican Executive could not whollj mar the bounty of Providence. It Is a fact that in IM7. by reason of the failures of the wheat crop in the Argentines and Southern Hussia. the harbors of New York aud Dostou were tilled with vessels spoking wheat for Great Drltnln and Europe. Wheat leaped lo SI per bushel. Millions in gold, the purchase money, flowed lu to the country. The farmers bought inei chandlse or all kinds. This started "tho liooui." factories and mills be came bu.sy, railroads Avcre choked Avlth freight, and the labor markets were emptied or Hie unemployed. This was due to Providence that gave the coun- il' 'ihllllfltlllt .Millie It'll.... ..II ,1... .......I. i ..i: i r..,i ...'... .;.. .,"' .... '. II.. ... . l.1llf. . .11-11 .111 III.'

Hut the farmer working in his Holds lo produce this wealth little thought that If Providence laid come to his assistance by providing him high prices for his wheat that his fellow man would exact higher prices from him for the merchandise lie required. Yet this is what a Hepubllcan Congress did. Ity Its protective tariff It shut the gates or the Nation to foreign compe tition, by its patronage of liiaimfac tuivrs it enabled them to combine, and so juices for manufactured goods were advanced and Imposed on the farmer. Thus by the tariff and trusts aviis trib ute wrung from tho farmer. i i Kvery fanner's wife knows what she paid eight years ago and she knows Avhat she Is forced to pay to-day. Kv ery farmer knows what he then paid and what he now pays. If to-day the farmer sells his wheat, com and rye, his steer, sheep and hogs at a good price, It Is no reason for his being compelled to pay higher prices for his merchandise. There is no reason, save that of the tariff and the trusts, that he should tilld his dollar Is imlv vcliumm. i able for seventy-one and a half cents or the protected mnnufnotiiml goods. Of course, a high tariff tills the Treas ury. 01 course, It takes much money to rebuild and refurnish the While House and to rebuild uud refurnish the Presi dent's yacht Mayilowor-but It comes pretty hard on tho American farmer to reduce his dollar to seventy-one and a half cents. Shows tlio Fraud of It. How the tariff operates and the truvts give our own people the, worat of It can hardly be bettor Illustrated than In the case of steel rails sold In Can ada and the United States. There Is a railway which runs along the border between the two countries, sometimes In its course being on this side and sometimes acros the border, it is re markable that rails for use on the Canadian part of the railway are sold for $'J1 a ton, Avhlle those for use on tho American side cost the same road US a ton. This ' the case of one road. The New York Central is an other railway Avhteh lias to undergo the samo experience illustrative of the Inequalities of the protective tariff system, and how it operates against the very people It proposes to protect.

V. Ware undertakes to Justify President Uoosvvclt's action lu the matter or the ago limit pension order, Avhlch Is declared to have been unconstitutional by the Parker Constitutional Club of New Y'ork and In contravention of Sec tion !) of Article I., which reads as follows- "No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but In consequence of appro priations made by law." In the course of his argument lu de fense of the President's action, Mr. Ware says. "The passage of the appropriation bill recognizing the validity of the order and voting tlio money to carry It out ended the consideration of the rem edies proposed." That settles it, according to the reasoning of .Mr. Ware, but tlio fact remains that It was an action which he should not Ikia presumed to take un der the power or making regulations for carrying Into effect the statute of Congress. Congress had a right to en act that the attainment of a certain age created a presumption or Inability. II was besought to do It and It refused. It lias been besought to do It at every session sitae the disability act was passed, and it has not done it. The proper discretion of the Executive in making regulations aviis limited to car rying out the law as enncleil, and did not include a i emulation relieving the applicant from the operation of the Inw which required that actual disability should bo established by proof. Ac cording to the new regulation, disabil ity needs not to be proved, but must bo assumed on an age basis, precisely what Congress has never sanctioned. BRYAN'S ATTITUDE. To Hasten Tlmn Kor the Triumph ot Democratic Principles by Sup port of I'tirker. Persistent reports are being circu lated both East and West that Colonel William J. Dryan will not support ihi Democratic nominees in the coming Presidential election. Tho latist ot these reports is attributed to Chan cellor E. Deiijaniln Andrews, of Ne braska University. "At tho present time," Chancellor Andrews Is quoted as .saying, "there Is every chance that Uooseielt will secure lb" electoral vote of Nebraska, that the Hepubllcan State ticket avIII lie elected, and Hint the Kitsion element will dominate ihe Legislature aud elect W. J. Dryan next Scuaior from that State" In complete ref niation of the sugges tion quoted above .me lias only to road Colonel Dryau's attitude to the Na tional ticket a.s sot forth in a ringing speech deiheivd by him !:i .Missouri in the early part of the campaign, In which he urged all Democrats to sup port tho ticket falthfclly. In the course of this speech Co'.n.el I'.rvan said. 'I lieliee in the Irioi.iph oi' every righteous principle and 1 have such faith In the rlgluiio-s of our au.se that I am not afraid that any policy in which we have confidence can be de feated by tlie election of a Democratic President, even though he may not agree with us on all qtiesUo.is.

Mr. Justice Brewer, of ihe Supremo Court, will gel into trouble If he keeps on talking as he did yesterday at St. Louis about the Constitution vs. the Hepubllcan policy in ihe Philippines. Why. he apparently takes, the same view as Judge Parker! This Is In lint violation of the only common law that the President knows-the law, name ly, that good Uepuhlleans must swal low their convictions and support all that he does. Judge Dtewer should remember that he was a Hepublican before he was a Jurist, lie was not put on the bench lo furnish aid and comfort to the Democrats. Imagine a Hepublican Senate ever confirming his appointment to tho Supreme Court if It had imagined that he Avould balk at finding the Inw for whatever tho party Avauted to do! The Justice.

TRADE JOURNALS PLEASED. Journal of Commerce and New York Commercial (J rati lied by Pniker's Letter. There are two Important dailv news papers published in New York that are distinctly devoted to the interests of trade and commerce, and both express hearty approval of Judge Park er's views on political questions, as ex pressed in his letter of acceptance. These papers are the Journal of Com merce and the New York Commercial. The former is independent In politics, but of Democratic leaning, so that Avhat Is has to say of the letter may not be as significant as are the utterances of the Commercial, which also Is an Independent Journnl. hut with Inclin ations toward Hepublienulsm. The Commercial expresses Its appreciation of the letter, as a whole, calling It "dignified, temperate and conserva tive, and calculated to win recruits for the cause Judge Parker repre sents."
