The republican party remains faithful to Its principle of a tariff which supplies suf jflcicnt revenues for tho Kovernmont and ad fuato protection to our enterprises and producers; and of reciprocity which opens foreign markets to tho fruits of American labor and furnishes now channels through which to market tho surplus of American farms. Tho tlmo-honorcd principles of pro tection and reciprocity were the first pledges or republican victory to bo written Into pub lic law Tho present congress has given to Alaska a territorial government, for which It had waited more than a quarter of a century; has established a reprefnntatlvo government In Hawaii; has enacted bills for the most liberal treatment of tho pensioners and their widows, has revived th free homestead pol Icy. In its great ilnanrlal law It provided for the establishment of banks of Issue with a capital of J2.1.000 for the benefit of villages ami rural communities nnd bringing the op portunity for prolltablo business In banking within the reach of moderate rnpltal. Many sro already availing themselves of this priv ilege. Honda I'nlil from Snriilu Hctoiiiic. During the last year morn than J19.000.000 of I'nltcd States bonds havo been paid from tho surplus revenues of tho treasury nnd In addition J25, 000.000 of 2 per cents ma tured, called by tho government, aro In proems of payment. Pacific railroad bonds Issued by the government in aid of tho roads lu the sum of nearly JII.O0O.00O have been paid since December 31, 1S97. Tho treasury balance Is In satisfactory condi tion, showing on September last $135,410, 000, In addition to thr $150,000,000 gold ro sexto held In the treasury. Tho govern mont's relations with tho Paclllc railroads havo been substantially closed, $121,421,000 being received from theso roadH, the greater part In cash nnd the remainder with ampin securities for payments de ferred. Instead of diminishing as was predicted four years ago. tho volume of our cur rency Is greater per capita than It has ever been. It was $2t!l0 In ISDiJ. It has Incrrnsed to $26.50 on July 1, lflOO, and $26.83 on September 1, 1000, Our total money on July 1, 1806, was $1.506, 134.966; on July 1. 1900, It was $2,062,425,400, nnd $2.0?,f83.0l2 on September 1, 1900. Our Industrial nnd agricultural condi tions aro moro promising than they have been fr many years; probably more so than they Save ever been. Prosperity abounds overywhero throughout tho re public. I rejolco that tho southern, ns woll ns tho northern states, are enjoying a full share of theso Improved national conditions and that ull aro contributing so largely to our romarkable Industrial de velopment. Tho moneylender receives lower rewards for his capital than If It wero Invested In active business. The rateB of Interest aro lower than they have ever been In this country, while those things which aro produced on tho farm nnd In tho workshop, and tho labor pro ducing them, have advanced In value. fJrovrlnsr Iticrrnsr of I'orclcn Trnili'. Our foreign trade shows n satisfactory nnd Increasing growth. Tho amount of our exports for the year 1900 over those of the exceptionally prosperous year of 18S9 was about $500,000 for every day of the year, and these sums havo gone Into the homos nnd enterprises of tho people. There has been an lncreaso of over $50,000, 000 In tho exports of agricultural products, $92,692,220 In manufactures nnd In thn products of thn mines of over $10,000,000. Our trade balances caunot fall to give satisfaction to tho people of tho country. In 189S we sold nbroad $615,432,676 of prod ucts moro than wo bought nbroad. In 1S90 $.'.29,874,813 and In 1900 $544,471,701. mak ing during tho three years n total balanco In our favor of $1,6S9. 779.190 nearly live times tho balanco of trade In our favor for thn wholo period of 10S years from 17S0 to Juno 30, 1897, Inclusive. Cold Stock Anmiirnteil by Million... Knur hundred nuil thirty-six million dol lars of gold havo been added to the gold stock of tho United States slnco July 1, 18P6. Tho Inw of March 14. 1900. authorized tho refundlug Into 2 per cent bonds of that part of tho public debt represented by tho 3 per cents duo In 190S, tho 4 per cents duo In 1907 nnd tho 5 per cents duo In 1904, aggregating JStO.000,000. More than ono-thlnl of tho sum of theso bonds was refunded In the first three months nfter tho passage of the act, nnd on September 1 the sum had been Increased moro than $33,000,000. making In all $33O,57S,05O, re sulting In a net saving of over $8,379,520. Tho ordinary receipts of tho government for the fiscal year 1900 wore $79,627,060 In excess of Its expenditures. While our receipts both from customs and Internal revenue have been greatly In creased, our expenditures havo been de creasing. Civil nnd miscellaneous ex penses for the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1900, wore nearly $11,000,000 less than In 1S99, whllo on tho war account thoro Is a decrease of moro than $95,000,000. Thent wero required $S, 000, 000 less to support the navy this year than Inst, nnd the ex penditures on account of Indians were nearly $2,750,000 less than In 1S99. The only two Items of increase in the public expenses of 1900 oer 18''!' are for pousloni nnd Interest on the public debt. Tor 1900 wo expended for pensions $13'.', 331. 929, and for tho flscnl yenr 1900 our payments on this account amounted to $110,877,316. The net Increase of Interest on the public debt of 1900 over 1890 required by tho war loan was $263,40S.25. While congress authorized tho government to make, a wnr loan of $400,000,000 nt tho beginning of tho war with Spain, only $200,000,000 of bonds wore Issued, bearing 3 per cent Interest, which wore promptly and patriotically taken by our citizens. Tnintlott Will lie Itediieed, Unless soiuothlng unforeseen occurs to reduce our revenues or Increase our ex penditures the congress at its next ses sion should reduce taxation very ma terially. Five years ago wo were selling govern ment bonds beating as high as 5 per cent Interest. Now wo aro redeeming them with a bond nt par. bearing 2 per cent Interest. We nro selling our surplus products and lending our surplus money to Kurope. One result of our selling to other nntlons so much more tlian we have bought from them during the last three years Is a radical Improvement of our financial relations The great amounts of capital which have been borrowed of Kurope for our rapid, material develop ment hv remained n constant drain upon our resources for Interest and dividends and made our money markets liable to aaataat disturbances by calls lor pay ment or heavy sales of our securities when ever moneyed stringency or panic orcurred abroad We have now been paying these debts ntid bringing home many of our se curities and establishing countervailing credits abroad by our loans and placing ourselves upon n sure foundation of finan cial Independence. I'rlnidlj- IVelliiK fur lloers. In the unfortunate contest between Great Urltain ami the lloer states of South Africa the Fnlted States has maintained an a tltudo of neutrality In accordance with Its well known traditional policy. It did not hesitate, however, when requested by the government of the South African repub lics, to exercise Its good ofTices for n ces sation of hostilities. It Is to bo observed that whllo the South African republics mado llko request of other powers the United Sutes Is the only one which com plied. The Hrltlsh government declined to accept the intervention of nny power. Iliti-nslnu of SI ere limit .Mnrlnr. Nlnety-ono per cent of our exports nnd Imports are now carried by foreign shlpa. For ocean transportation we pay annually to foreign shipowners over $163,000,000. We ought to own the ships for our carrying trade with the world and wo ought to build them In American shlpynrds and man them with American sailors. Our own citizens should receive the transportation charge now paid to foreigners. I havo called tho attention of congress to this subject lu my several annual messages. In that of December 6. 1597, I said' Most desirable, from cverv standpoint of national Interest nnd pntil"ttsm Is tin; effort to extend our foreign commerce, 'lo this end our merchant marine should be Im proved nnd enlarged. We should do our full share nf the carrying trade of the world. We i!o not do It now. We should be tho laggard no longer In my mcssaxo of Peccmber IMS, I said: our nuttoniil development will be one sided and unsatisfactory so long ns the re markable growth of our Inland Industries remains uiiuet ompnnled by progress on tho seas There Is no lack of constitutional au thority for legislation which shall give to the country maritime strength commensu rate with Its Industrial achievements and with Its rank among tho nations uf the earth. The 'list venr h.n recorded exceptional a.ilvltv In mir shlparls and the promises of continued prosperity In shipbuilding; are obundunt. Advanced legislation ror the protection of our seamen has been enacted. Our coast trade under regulations wisely framed nt the beginning of the government njid since shows results for the last fiscal year unequalcd In our recoicls or those of any other power. We shall fall to teallze our opportunities, however, If we com placently regard only matters at home and blind ourselves to the necessity of securing our share In the valuable carrying trade of the world. I now reiterate these views. A subject of Immediate Importance to our country Is tho completion of a great waterway of commerce between the At lantic and Pacific. Tho construction nf a maritime canal Is now moro than ever In dispensable to that lntlmato nnd ready communication between our eastern nnd western seaports demanded by the annexa tion of tho Hawaiian Islands nnd the ex pansion of our Inlluenco nnd trade In tho Pacific. Our national policy more Imperatively than ever calls for Its completion nnd con trol by this government, and It Is believed that thn next session of congress, after re ceiving tho full report of the commission appointed under tho act approved March 3, 1899, will make provisions for the aure ac complishment of this great work. TnmtN Minultl Ur I'tinjslird. Combinations of capital which control tho market In commodities necessary to thn general uso of tho people by suppressing natural nnd ordinary competition, thus en hancing prices to tho general consumer, aro obnoxious to tho common law and the pub lic, welfare. They aro dangerous conspira cies against tho public good nnd should bo mado tho subject of prohibitory or penal legislation, Publicity will be a helpful In lluenco to check this evil. Uniformity of legislation In tho several states should bo secured. Discrimination between what Is Injurious and what Is useful and necessary In business operations Is cssentlul to the wIbo and effective treatment of this sub ject. Honest co-operation of capital Is nec essary to meet new business conditions and extend our rapidly Increasing foreign trade, but conspiracies and combinations Intended to restrict business, create monopolies and control priced should bs elfectlvely re strained. llrait Service to l.llhor. Tho best service which can be rendered to labor Is to afford It an opportunity for steady and remunerative employment and give It every encouragement for advance ment. The policy that subserves this end is the truo American policy. The past three yenrs have been more satisfactory to American vvorklngmeu than many preceding years. Any change of tho present Indus trial or financial policy of the government would be disastrous to their highest Inter ests. With prosperity at homo and an In creasing foreign market for American products employment should continue to wait upon labor and with tho present gold standard tho worklngman Is secured against payments for his lator In a depreciated cur rency. For labor a ehort day '.s better than a short dollar; ono will lighten tho bur dens, tho other lessens tho rewards of toll. Tho ono will promote, contentment nnd In dependence, tho other penury nnd wnnt. Tho wages of labor should be adequate to keep tho homo In comfort, educate the children and, with thrift and economy, lny something by for the days of Intlrmlty and old age. Practical civil service reform has always had tho support and encouragement of the republican party. The future of the merit system Is safe In Its hands. During tho present administration as oc casions have nrlsen for modlllcatlon or nmeudment In tho existing civil service law aud rules they have been made. Im portant amendments wero promulgated by executive order under date of May 29, 1899, having for their principal purpose tho ex ception from competitive examination of certain places Involving fiducial y responsi bilities or duties of u strictly confidential, scientific or exccutlvo character, which It was thought might better be lllled either by noncompetitive examination or by other tests of fitness In the discretion of tho ap pointing oillcers. It is gratifying that tho cxpcrlenco of moro than a year hns vindi cated theso changes, in the marked Im provement of the public service. The merit system, ns far us practicable, Is mndo the basis for appointments to olllce in our new territory. liriitltiidr for .Notion's Defender.., Tho American people nre profoundly grateful to the soldiers, sailors and riinrlncs who havo In every time of conflict fought their country's battles und defended Its honor. Tho survivors and tho widows and orphans of those who have fallen nro Justly entitled to receive tho generous nnd con siderate caro of the nation. Few nre now left of those who fought In the Mexican war and while many of the veterans of tho civil war are still spared to us their num bers nro lapldly diminishing and ngo and In firmity are Increasing their dependence. These, with the soldiers of tho Spanish war. will not bo neglected by their grate ful countrymen. The pension laws have been liberal. They should be Justly admin istered aid will he. Preference should be given to the soldiers, tailors and marines, their widows and orphans, with respect to cmplovment in the public service. as to fohkiiTn" "Ti:i'i:Niii:rii:s.

All this Is a long step In tho fulfillment of our sacred guaranties to the people of Cubn. Our Title to Porto Itleo, We hold Porto Itlco by tho satuo title as tho Philippines. The treaty of peace which coded us tho ono conveyed to us the other. Congress has given to this island a govern ment In which the Inhabitants participate, elect their own legislature, enact their own local laws, provide their own system of taxation and in those respects havo th" same power and privileges enjoyed by other tcrrItorle3 belonging to the United States, and a much larpir measure of self-government than was given to the Inhabitants of Louisiana under Jefferson. A district court of tho United States for I'orto Hlco has been established and locul courts have been inaugurated, all of which are In opera tion. Tho generous treatment of tho Porto Kteans accords with the most liberal thought of our own country and encourages the best aspirations of tho peoplo of the Island. White they do not have Instant free commercial Intercourse with tho United States, congress compiled with my recommendation by removing, on May 1 last, 85 per cent of the duties nnd provid ing for tho removnl of the remaining 15 per cent on March 1, 1902. cr earlier If tho legislature of Porto Hlco nhall provide local rovenues for tho expenses of conduct ing the government. During this Inter mediate period Porto Klcan products com ing Into tho United States pay a tariff of 15 per cent of tho rates under the Dlngley act. and our goods going to Porto Hlco pay a like rate. The duties thus paid and col lected, both In Porto Hlco nnd the United States, aro paid to the government of Porto Hlco and no part thereof Is taken by the national government. All of the duties from November 1. 1898, to June 30, 1900, aggregating tho sum of $2,250,523 21. paid nt the custom houses In the United States upon Porto Hican products, under the laws existing prior to the nbovo men tioned net of congress, have gono Into the treasury of Porto flico to relieve the desti tute nnd for schools nnd other public pur poses. In addition to this we havo ex pended for relief, education nnd Improve ment of roads tho sum of $1,51.1,081 95. Tho United States military force In the Island has been reduced from 11,000 to 1,500 men, and native Porto Hlcans constitute for the most part the local constabulary. Under the new law nnd tho Inauguration of civil government there has been n grati fying revival of business. Tho manufac tures of Porto Hlco nro developing; Its Imports nre Increasing; Its tariff Is yield ing Increased returns, Its fields are being cultivated; free schools are being estab lished. Notwithstanding the many em barrassments Incident to a change of na tional conditions, Porto Hlco Is rapidly showing the good effects of Its new rela tions to this nation. uisci'SM2s i'iiimimmm: question. StHtrsniiiii-lilkr Presentation of the Vast Problem. For tho sake of full and Intelligent un derstanding of the Philippine question, and to glvo to tho peoplo authentic Informa tion of the nets and alms of tho adminis tration, I present at some length the ovents of Importance leading fip to the present situation. The purposes of tho executive aro best revealed and can best be Judged by what he has done and Is doing. It will bo soen that the power of the government has been used for the liberty, tho peace and the prosperity of the Philippine peo ples, and that force has been employed only against force which stood In the way of the realization of theso ends. On tho 25th day of April. 189S, congress declared that a star of war existed be tween Spain and the United States. On May 1, 189S, Admiral Dowcy destroyed the Spanish fleet In Manila bay. On May 19, 1S9S. Major General Merrltt. U. S. A., wns placid lu commaud of tho mllltnry ex pedition to Manila, and directed among other things, to Immediately "publish a proclamation declaring that we come not to make war upon tho people of the Philip pines nor upon any part or faction among them, but to protect them In their homes. In their employments and In their porsonal and religious rights. All persons who, either by nctlve aid or by honest submis sion, co-operate with tho United States in Its efforts to give effect to this bene ficent purpose, will receive tho reward of Its support and protection." On July 3. 1S9S, tho Spanish fleet In at tempting to escape from Santiago harbor was destroyed by tho American fleet, and on July 17, 1S9S, the Spanish garrison In the city of Santiago surrendered to the commander of tho American forces. I'ccice Conniilftnloii niiicd, Following these brilliant victories, on the 12th day of August. 1S9S, upon the Initiative of Spain, hostilities were sus pended and a protocol was signed with a view to arranging terms of poaeo between tho two governments.

GEORGE N0E OF WYM0RE UNDER ARREST Men Who Tortured n 'Wenltlij- I'nrmcr to Dentil llelleved to Have llren Hull to Hurt li nt I.Hftt. HEATH1CH. Neb.. Sept. 9. (Special Tele gram.) George Noe, a truck gardener liv ing about two and a ijuarter miles south east of Wymore, was arrested last night by Constable Joe Orlmes of this place charged with being a participant In the tuurdcr of David Jones, n protnlncnt farmer living near Wyraoro, which oc curred about three years ngo. Jone3 was a well-to-do farmer who lived alone nnd was reputed to bo quite wealthy. Ono night about three years ago he was visited by four masked men. who bound aud gagged him nnd then tortured him by burn ing his feet with coal oil to make him tell whore his wealth was secreted. The old man lived nbout two days after the terrible ordeal beforo succumbing to his Injuries nnd was able to give a fair description of his assailants to the authorities. Suspicion has been directed In a certain direction ever since and detectives of the Ilcatrlce Detective nnd Hloodhound associa tion havo been devoting considerable time to tho caso slnco Its occurrence. Having obtained what Is considered strong evidence against tho suspects, a warrant was Issued yesterday afternoon and served by Con stablo Orlmes against Noe. The other three supposed participants In the crime havo not yet been apprehended, but the oillcers expect to get them tomorrow. Oeorgo Noe when visited at the county Jail last night by The llee representative stated that his arrest was a complete sur prise to him. He said. "I worked for old Uncle David off and on for several years beforo his death and was well acquainted with him. I never Injured even a bird that I know nf during my entire life and can't seo why I should be arrested on this charge. When Jones was killed I was home with my family and we were nil asleep. I have lived around Wymore for fifteen years past and have borne a pretty fair name around that community. As Ood Is my Judge I nm an Innocent man." Tho odlcers claim to havo a strong case against Noe and promise sensational de velopments. HKC11I2T OK DORfjIIY'.M DRFKCTION. Hel llensoii for thr Krnrnry Cnp titln's Co m I n k Out for Ilr.iun, KBAHNHY, Neb., Sept. 9. To the Kdltor of The llee: Much has been printed und said nbout Captain D. A. Dorsey of Kear ney, withdrawing his support from .Mi Kin by nnd placing It with Ilryan, and lu the World-Herald of August 3, on tho first page, under a scare head, appeared a piece, In substance, as follows: "Captnln D. A. Dorsey. a life-long republican and honored soldier, says tho republic must bo saved, that he will stump the state, ns he puts It, In the Interest of republican Institutions. Captain Dorsey Is a resident of Kearney, was an ofllcer In tho union army and a member of the party thut made up the famous Andrews raid, for which gallant and hazardous services congress vetod him a medal." Tho paper goes on to say that Captain Dorsey Is an old pioneer nnd helped mako tho republican party, that ho declares he Is still a republican, but, supports Dry. in becauso he wants to save 'the republic as woll ns tho party that saved the union. It further states that he has bean a fa miliar figure In Nebraska and a potent factor In politics. The above piece looks well In print and reads ltke tho truth, but It Is not. It Is true that Mr. Dorsey has gone from the republican party and will support Mr. Ilryau, but ho did not leave the republican party for the reasons given. Tho roal reason Mr. Dorsey Is against the present administration Is becauso It took a hand In the support of his family. For a num ber of years Mr. Dorsey has been drawing a fair sized pension, and Instead of staying at home and trying to support his family ho has spent his time and money In tho east, delivering lectures on the Andrews raid, and lobbying down nt Washington with the hope of sieurlng a larger pen sion. A son of Captain Dorsey, who Is In the g -eminent service in tnis city, lias ror u number of years been tho sole support of the family, but recently a bill passed by congress compelling porsnns drawing pensions to help support their families en abled a momber of Mr. Dorsey's family to ask tho government for a portion of his pension. This request was referred to Mr. Dorsey, with tho statement that he would elthor havo to give a portion of his pension to the support of his family or go home and live with them. He adopted the latter course. Up to within two months ngo It did not occur to Mr. Dorsey that ho could lay his trouble against McKlnley, but some of his populist friends have been telling him what an abused man he Is until ho belclves what thoy say. There nro very fow persons In Kearney who havo not heard Mr. Dorsey praise McKlnley and state that expansion was tho proper thing, and If ho ever attempts to swallow what ho has already said In favor of the repub lican administration he will choke In three seconds. If Mr. Dorsey has the nsrvo to stand up In front of friends who are ac quainted with his family affairs and abuse McKlnloy and tho republican party then ho will bo tho first person to ahuso that which helps his family to live. Mr. Dorsey was a cnndldato for Justice of the pence before tho republican convention last spring, but failed by many votes to secure the nomination. Mr. Dorsey controls no votes, not oven his own, so tho republicans havo lost little nnd the democrats gained nothing. T. O. MAI.LALIEU. t'lmri'li Work Prospers. COU'MllUS. Neb.. Sept. 9. (Special.)
