Tell thi Truth.

Now, don't that jar sensitiveness of
my ordinary citizen? The declaration
Is utterly at variance with facts, as all
well-informed people should know.
Purine the tlrst sevent y years of our
history the government was emit roll
ed by the democrats and the tariffs
therefore were democratic. 1 hiring
that time the country witnessed
fc'reat prnserity. Tin foundation for
our present wealth was laid during
those years,
In lHpi a tariff law was enacted
which approached nearerto a tariff for
revenue only than any country has ever
had. t'nder that law wealth piled up
faster than at any other period during
our existence as a nation. Take the
census report of 1H.V) and compare It
with the census report of lsiid and It
will be seen that the ratio of Increased
wealth during those ten years was
greater than can be shown for any
ten years under a protective tariff.
During these ten years under a rev
enue tariff factories Increased niarvel
ously and agriculture was more pros
perous than at any formerera farmers
became rich and lands advanced in
value. In lHiiO the capital Invested In
manufacturing was twice what It was
In 1h:.o. The St. Louis Republic says
that protectloiilstsCannot point toany
such period of prosperity under pro
tect Ion; and that meat newspaper Is
awful Kood authority on everything of
this nature.
then, too, our money system was
poor. We had tho wildcat state banks.
They issued a circulating medium,
much of which they never redeemed,
The banks went to smash and disorgan
l.ed and hampered business. In con
sequence of these bad banks we had
financial trouble in lfC7, but this was
soon iiver; and notwithstanding the
lack of such transportation facilities
as have been secured in later years
that ten years' period under a revenue
tariff stands out In bold relief and
challenges comparison with any ten
years under protection. The republi
cans gained power in lxtil) undera plat
form t liat did not hint at protection,
but the warcatneonand asa war meas
ure a protective tariff was enacted.
Manufacturers grew rich under high
protection and they have continually
demanded more and more, until now
under the IMngley bill we have the
most extortionate tariff the country
has ever seen, and the republicans re
fuse to modify It In any particular
What followed the republican tariff?
The worst panic this country has ever
witnessed before or since, lasting from
is::i to 1S7S. lairing that period of
live years land values shrank more than
half. More men were sold out under
!gn!d made money more abundant. Bad
crops In Kuropj?aml 'Asia and abund
ant crops in 'this country brought a
great amount of wealth tons. Then
our systems of transportation had lie
come so perfect and our machinery so
excel Uiit tliat we were able to beat the
world. We have a wonderfully pro
ductive soil, a magniticeut country, an
Intelligent and energetic people, and
there is no n k'1 reason why we should
not lie prosperous, in spite of a tariff
system that more or less hampers bus
iness anil Injures the consumer. Our
prosperity is not by reason of the "re
publican tariff" but In spite of it. Too
well do the carpenters who framed
the Chicago platform know these facts
in their effoits tuauain "pull the woo
over the eyes of the people."
I'iik Boston banquet to the Filipinos
given by Cov. Bates, turned Into an
anti-imperialist symposium. Mayor
Collins told the visitors tliat their
right to self government is as true as
the Declaration of Independence or the
Sermon on the Mount. He said "Fili
pinos have a right to work out their
own salvation, and if they are not ovir
successful in doing it, it Is none of our
business, any more than It is the coi-
cern of the Filipinos that we are not
working out all our own problems in
the most perfect way." He advised
them to carry home with them the le-
sons of liberty put Into effect at Bunk
er Hill, l'resident Whitney of the
Chamber of Commerce spoke along the
same lines. The Filipinos took up the
argument where lie left It and pleaded
earnestly for the same right to self
government for which the Americans
fought the Britisli In the Revolution.
But the spirit of Hamilton hovers over
the republicans to give them advice
when it conies to a question of a free
and independent government. They
would like to forget that there Is such
a document as the Declaration of Independence.

Promotion of a Young Man.
Mr. Louis I'scnclk, a prominent
young merchant, was made manager
of a large business concern of Smith-
ville, Texas, li was with pleasure we
heard that after a long sickness he
was again able to take the reins of
this extended business into his own
hands. "I had a very severe attack of
malaria for several weeks," he wrote
us, "but Tnner's American Elixir of
Bitter Wine not only cured me per
fectly, but my weight Increased ten
pounds in six weeks." Many people
cannot understand where the wonder
ful cures effected by this vegetable
remedy come from, but it Is very easi
ly explained. It cures the digestive
apparatus and in this way constantly
renews the blood, keeps It pure and
rich. Make your stomach strong and
your blood pure and you will enjoy
perfect health and vigor. In all dis
eases of the digestive organs, of the
blood and the nerves, Triner's Amer
ican Klixir of Bitter Wine is the most
palatable and the only reliable remedy.

NOW'STHETIMETO VISIT.
Tiik Omaha Bee of last Friday con
tallied a most bitter at tack upon W
Bryan, einatlng from Dr. tleorge
Miller, a former democrat of influence
In the counsels of the party. I lis trade
mark In eerv sentence would have
been very discernable w ithout any slg
nature. The Journal does not endorse
every act ion of Mr. Bryan by any means,
but In our estimation he Is as far above
the author of the tirade in everything
pertaining to democracy, statesman
ship and citizenship as the birds
that soar heavenward. Why does the
IVx'tor wait until this particular time
to attack Mr. Bryan, and then publish
the same in a republican paperi Is lie
making ready to "Hop" over soul and
body, like 1'aul Morton, In the hopes
of.gettlng ''something good" from
Teddf should the "accldeut" bo elect
ed'!1 To say the least, the attack Is
unmanly and unjust. But the Doctor
bciriKip, his dotage, most of his former
democratic friends are inclined to treat
bis production with silent contempt.
N kv i:k In the history of this country
has so much Interest been manifested
In any similar coiiTctition as that of
the nathering of the democratic hosts
in St. Louis this week. The glasses of
the people seem to lie looking to this
convention for a candidate and plat
form that will favor the whole people
Instead of catering directly to the de
sires end wishes of the Trusts and
those who want to centralize the gov
eminent in t he hands of the few. Let
the democratic party by its cool and
c uiservatlve action offer the condition
of security and relief, and the country
will spontaneously remove from power
the party of Hamlltoulan Ideas. The
opportunity of democracy is manifest,
the will and desire of the nation's dem
ocrats have been made plain. It re
mains for this convention to tlx the
destinies of the United States for the
next four years. Will tliey act wisely,
and save the, freedom guaranteed by
our forefathers, before it Is evcrlast
Ingly too late?
