The quiet remark made by Mr
W C Whitney just before sail
ing for Europe lately that the
Democratic party was without a
man or without an issue contin
ues to reverberate
There is no tariff in England
yet the singular fact remains
that a few days ago a great civic
congress in London demanded ac
tion looking toward the control of
trusts How can the Democrats
explain thatstate of affairs
A convincing test of the rela
tive merits of the Democratic and
Republican method of adminis
tration can be seen by the recent
record of business failures made
public In 1896 as the effects of
a Democratic administration there
were over 15000 failures In
1 90 1 there were not quiet 7000
under Republican administration
One of the signs of the times
can be encountered any day in
the West The Democratic mem
bers of Congress who voted against
an appropriation for the shelter
and protection of American troops
in active service are talking to
empty benches in this campaign
This is true in every state in the
West
The story of prosperity under
Republican policy is told best in
the increase of money used money
earned and money saved In what
period of the countrys history
can the Democratic party point
with pride to anything that has
been done to promote prosperity
in the land
President Roosevelt stated
concisely that while the big trusts
would be damaged somewhat by
depriving them of a protective
tariff the smaller producers and
wage earners would be damaged
as well This is the exact truth
but the President might havegone
further and stated with safety that
the American workman is too
well satisfied with the present
conditions of affairs to go back
to the dark days of 1893 96 when
free trade prevailed
The Democratic party can
not stand the tests of time and
experience Its assertions are
always denied by the event It
is always explaining why it was
wrong There is a great deal
in that The Democratic party
does not wear well Occasion
ally it flashes up a policy which
is attractive to thoughtless people
but before election day comes
their wiser neighbors argue them
out of it so no one is harmed
But if by some accident the Dem
ocrats win the country suffers
and the party gets into disrepute
The efforts now being made by
the Democratic party to return a
majority of members of the House
of Representatives should furnish
food for reflection for thoughtful
people In the first place the
Democrats have avowed in text
book and platforms that they
would abandon the Philippines
that they would adopt free trade
and that they would change the
present gold standard to the crazy
free silver plan Who wbuld care
to vote for a candidate embody
ing these principles
Soft and crooked bones mean

Lest We Forget
William McKinley when fight
ing for protection ten years ago
said 4Cill the roll of nations
which are for prote tion At least
430 million people are in favor of
protection and 38 million Britains
are against it to whom must be
added those Americans whose
numbers are unknown who while
living under our flag seem to
follow another
That McKinley statement of
ten years ago fits ihe situation
today England is the only free
trade nation among the civilized
people Not even the British
colonies follow the mother coun
try in free trade policies Canada
and Australia have protetection
The number of Americans who
follow the British idea is smaller
today than ever before because
the American people cannot for
get the distress that followed the
Wilson Gorman tariff law
But among this small number
of free traders are the men in con
trol of the Democratic Congres
sional Committee the men who
have formulated the Democratic
policy which shall be made effect
ive if the Democrats secure con
trol of Congress Chairman
Griggs is an open and avowed free
trader So are the Democrats
who are associated with him in
the management of the Demo
cratic campaign They are fol
lowing the British idea if not the
British flag They would have
the American people forget that
the bank clearance which
the value of business went
from 60000000000 in 1892
down to 45000000000 in
1894 a decrease of 35 per
cent in two years as a result of
Democratic tariff policies and
that they rose to 114000000
000 in 1 90 1 or more than doubled
under the stimulus of the Dingley
law
The Democrate expect the
people to sacrifice this enormous
business at home and give free
trade another trial because about
one ten thousandth part of our
business is in sales made abroad
at prices less than those ruling in
the home market
Would it not be the height of
indiscretion for the busy and pros
perous producers of this wonder
ful country to heed the calamity
cry of the Democrats and stop in
the march of progress for the sole
purpose of Making a change
There is nothing about the
Republican platform this year to
befuddle the average voter Strip
ped of all the outside flourishes
of oratory it is simply Abun
dant work and good wages to be
perpetuated
The tenor of the speeches be
ing made by Republican orators
on the stump is not that the tariff
shall not be revised if found nec
essary but that the action shall
not be ill advised and precipitate
Another point is that it shall be
done by a friendly hand
Hope springs eternal in the
breast of the average Democrat
United States Senator Carmack
loudly predicted a Republican
disaster in Maine After the se
vere fall he gathered himself to
gether and now loudly predicts
the downfall of the entire Repub
lican party This is where the
people laugh
Senator Carmack asked on
the floor of the senate How
long will it be before the Ameri
can army shall furnish a fit com
panion to relieve King Herod of
the solitude of his infamy and
yet the Democrats assert that
they have not slandered the army
Would they have the people be
lieve that Carmack stated a fact

Prosperity and Republican Party
The Democratic Campaign
Committee announces that it is
short of orators for the campaign
The Republican party is held re
sponsible for this dearth of Demo
cratic spell binders In 1S96
there were calamity howlers to be
found on every street corner in
sisting that the Crime of 73
had plunged the country into dis
tress and that 16 to 1 was the
only remedy We had Coin
Harvey and his financial primer
and a host of other financial ex
perts to aid Mr Bryan in his free
silver campaign There are Jones
of Arkansas Hoag of Texas
James Hamilton Lewis of Wash
ington Gov Atgeld and Buck
Hendrickson of Illinois Sockless
Simpson of Kansas Teller of Colo
rado Steward of Nevada George
Fred Williams of Massachusetts
Charley Towne of Minnesota and
a host of other picturesque orators
and teachers of finance They
made the country ring with their
dismal forebodings of what would
follow the firmer fixture of the
gold standard But few of these
oraors are to be heard today in
connection with the Democratic
campaign
The Republican party by the
revival of protection and the es
tablishment of the gold standard
has restored prosperty and even
the Democratic calamity howlers
of 1896 and 1900 have become
busy with other and more numer
ative employment Tom LJohn
son the picturesque mayor of
Cleveland is the only old time
Democratic spell binder to be
heard in the campaign and he is
Bryans heir to the Presidential
nomination Mr Bryan is bus
making money with his newspaper
and lecturing He has little time
to spare to the cause of the Demo
cratic party Coin Harvey is
coining wealth down in Arkansas
James J Jones Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
has become a trust magnate oper
ating in cotton presses Charley
Towne has made money in Texas
oil and now has his office in Wall
Street where he no longer fears to
walk among the gold bugs Hogg
of Texas has been busy in Eng
land floating Texas oil stock and
hobnobbing with royalty James
Hamilton Lewis is too busy hand
ling gold mining properties in the
northwest to care whether there
is a uemocrstic campaign or a
silver mine in the world George
Fred Williams has been discarded
by the Democrats of Massachu
setts Henry Watterson has
turned his attention to the morals
of the Four Hundred Dave
Hill is at Woolforts Roost wait
ing to see what the future will
bring forth Gorman of Maryland
is also keeping silent Altgeld is
dead Buck Hendrickson has turn
ed his talents to legitimate fiction
and the Democratic Committee
has to look for a new crop of ora
tors
And this is the work of prosper
ity and the Republican party
They have robbed the Democratic
party of its most picturesque cam
