He accuses the republicans of being in the wrong and revolutionary in buying the in habitants of the Philippines at so much per head, although there have in the past been five great national purchases of the same nature, chiefly under democratic presidents. In 1803 Jefferson paid 1 15.000,000 for Louisiana. That was a higher price per bead, if the bargain is to be so described, than was given for the Filipinos. In 1819 Gen. Jackson gave $5, 000,000 for Florida. This also ex Philippine quotations. In 1848 President Polk paid 18, 250,000 for New Mexico and Cali fornia. In 1853 President Pitrco paid 10, 000,000 for the Gadsden territory. In 18C7 President Johnson paid $7,200,000 for Alaska. In all, prior to the purchase of the Philippines, we paid about $56,000,--000 for new territory, in none of which was the inhabitants' consent to be governed ever asked for, and in none of which, when consent was forcibly refused, did the authority of the United .States fail to be upheld l)y the occupant of the White house and the military forces under bis command. This democratic assault upon the present administration, which is fol lowing bravely in the footsteps of its illustrious predecessors in expanding American territory, is a dastardly pretence, without the shadow of bis torical justification. To the Bryan ites it is a mask for free silver. To faithless gold democrats it is a mask for Bryanism. J,ew York Sun. LEST WK FORGET. The inauguration of a democratic president in March, 1803, marked the beginning of the most distressful times ever known in this country. In the preceding November the majority of the nation's working people bad seen fit to try the experi ment of bettering their condition through entrusting political pover to the democratic party in both the ad ministrative and legislative branches of the govetnment. In exchange for the confidence nnd power thus given 'it, the democratic party gave, within six months, the working people of -the country the most frightful dose of general calamity it had ever ex perienced. Within less than one year after the industrial workers bad decided, in November of. 1892, not to let rell ecough alone, prosperity had set like the sun, there was a vast army of unemployed men, and star vation and misery reigned among tens of thousands previously wf 11 to do. The suddenness and completeness with which this terrible change in 1893 was wrought in the fortunes of the American people, furnished a fearfully bitter lesson. But it is a lesson that it is better for us to bold in vivid remembrance at this time rather than learn it all over again by taking another dose of democracy mixed with Bryanism. "The prime essential of business prosperity is public confidence in the good sense of the government and in its ability to deal intelligently with each new problem of administration and legislation. That confidence the democratic party has never earned. It is hopelessly inadequate and the country' prosperity, when democrat ic success at the pells is announced, baits nnd censes in mere anticipation of democratic blunders and failures." Kepublican National Platform, 1900. 'IIow can any farrytx be a re publican?" nsks Mr. Bryan, and the New York Sun proceeds to assure faim that bis curiosity will be piqued still more when be hears from Kn aas next November. ARUUMEXT MISLED. j The Porto Rican election law re-1 quire that voters fcball have beer. residents of the muniuipulitv for one ,?ar, that they must be taxpayer,' and that tuey inut read an.l write, j Yet when similar exactions are laid down in North Carolina, the repab- i:,.r. not nn .n lhi-ir liiml lee anil o . . -t- - - - a howl. Albany Democrat. ! The Democrat misses the point of the republican argument. The re publicans are not "howling" at dero ocratic restriction of the ballot, per se, but at the bypocracy of Brvism that "howls" about its restriction among the ignorant masses in our new possessions while democratic re striction, amotig a much more in telligent class of voteis in the South, is accepted without apology, much less condemnation. If It is right to restrict the ballot to the intelligent among the negroes of North Carolina it cannot be wrong to restrict it to the intelligent among the more ignorant colored population of Torto Uico and the Philippines. If Bryan ites have tears to shed over the violation of the constitution and the doctrine of the consent of the gov erned, let them be shed impartially. The populist candidate for gov ernor o' Texas has withdrawn from the ticket and written a letter in which he roundly denounces the democratic party for its inconsis tency. At Bryan's sJalement that the republican parly will destroy the republican form of government he is Darticularlv scathinz, saying the democrats are the only organized party that ever deliberately shot to death the American flsg; that ever disfranchised citizens by millions; that enslaved its free born. It forced the war with Spain, and then obstructed the appropriations to pay for It; it voted to ratify the treaty with Spam and pay $20,000,000 for the Philippines, and has ever since been clamoring to turn them loose and shake the rcsponsioility. As a former democrat, the Hon. Jerome C. Kearby has drawn a severe but truthful incictmcDt against the Aguin aldo sympathizers. "Moneyed men are back of Bryan, according to a Portlander receLtly returned from the F.ast. In New York $300,000,000 is in the banks on which only from 1 to 3$ per cent can be secured. If Bryan is elected an unsettled condition of affairs will ensue for a while and interest will run up to 6, 8 or even 10 per cent. Under the . circum stances, the Portlander argues, the moneyed people will back the dem ocratic candidate." This is from the Telegram and there is probably some irutu in it. At any rate it agrees with the statement a Wasco county farmer made to the editor of The Chkonici.e no longer ago than this morning: "If I were certain Bryan is going to be elected," be said, would sell try farm and loan the money out on gilt-edged mortgages, If Bryan is elected money is sure to be scarce and dear for the next four years and I would fully calculate on getting from 10 to 15 per cent in teresl for every dollar I had to loan. That would beat farming at demo cratic prises for wheat, all hollow.' PVZZLES IX CITIZEXSIIIP SOLVED. ARE Here is something real funny. If it has any moral it probably is that an ounce of corrmon sense is worth a whole law library, even if the library has its habitation in the brain of a justice of the supreme court. A Porto Rican who is studying law at Washington applied tbe other day at the clerk's office of the su preme court of the District of Co lumbia for "first papers." That is, he expressed his desire to make a declaration of intent to become an American citizen. His attorney in sisted that the proceeding was un necessary and meaningless. Under the treaty of Paris Porto Rico was ceded to the United States nnd made a territory of Ibis government, and the attorney contended that Castro was a citizen cf the United States by virtue of that trcaly and transfer of sovereignty. The clerk could not unravel tbe knot and the question was submitted to Judge Bradley. His honor was rather perplexed for s while, but Le concluded that the POJST OF J vui or cue uuciuu UI UV M IlkAU .V forswear ..lleginnce to Porto Rico, Tbj;j wm ,iDJ.uiar eouougb. I, ... ent Porto K.co a nation,, .overe. power to wbicu allegiance I due? ! Xo, sue is a territory of the Lnitea Slates. Does not a man who le nounces allegiance to Torta Kico also renounce allegiance to the United States? This difficulty was urgsd upon Judge Bradley, and be Anally cut the Gordian knot by instructing Castro to forswear allegiance to Spain. The second solution was by no means an improvement on the first. Allegiance to Sain was wiped out by the ratification of tbe peace treaty, and Castro was no more subject of.Spain at the time of bis I application than he was a subject of tho sultan or o the czsr. Judge Bradley's suggestion was harmless. but devoid ot all meaning. In Baltimore, where the registra tion officials had not tbe advantage of the advice of a justice of the supreme court, but Lad in lieu there of a supply of simple, common sense, tbe question was solved in a jiffey. Five Porto Ricans applied there last Monday for registration, The regis tration officer promptly entered their names and wrote opposite each: "Naturalized by Annexation." All that was demanded of the Porto Kicans was proof that they had com piled with tbe residence clause of tbe election laws of the state of Maryland. Our Bryanite contemporaries see all manner of frightful things in this simple, common-sense decision. And the one at borne here seems, as usual, worse scared than any of them and asks in wild astonishment and terror: "Has the simple proclamation of the president, unauthorized by con gress, admitted to citizenship 9,000, 000 of people, whom the imperialists claim are heathens, incapable of self government? Have all those de generate beings, 6,000 miles away, been made legal voters in the United States and granted the rights and privileges of the most favored citi zens? If so, Mr. Ilanna bad better bein erecting election booths overJ"ear of the Wilson tariff which ad- in the Philippines' and prepare to give the Tagalos the right to express their choice for president next No vember." No, bless your dear, simple soul, no. The proclamation of the presi dent has admitted nobody to citizen ship. The treaty of annexation, that was ratified largely through Mr. Bryan's influence with eighteen anti- republicans, accomplished whatever change was made in the political re lationship of these people. And now tbe Porto Rican and the Filipino stand in the came relation to Amer ican citizenship as the New Mexican, Alaskan or native of Arizona. Resi dents of these territories are admitted to citizenship in tbe states, when they comply with the residence re quirements of the stiles, without forswearing allegiance to anybody or anything. Nor dce "Mr. Hanna" erjet booths in these territories, any more than he will in our new pos sessions, to give them "the right to express their choice for president," for no resident of any American territory has such right r ever had since our first territorial acquisition more than six score years ago.

OSLY OSE REPUBLIC AX SPEECH An Eastern Bryanite paper tbe other day wrotent cotemptuously of "the one speech which Theodore Roosevelt is making every day in ri.a " and tha New York Sun rpp.li.-i hv iviB!r its esteemed con , g j E temporary pays to Roosavelt compliment due to the entire repub lican stump army There is on'y" one republican soeech this vear. sati the Sun. It varies according to tbe intellectual grasp or the rhetoric of the individ ual SDeaker. but in substance it is B r always tbe same, because never in any section of tbe union docs it slur any part of the republican platform If our contemporary wants to find varieties of campaign talk it will find them with the democrats, whose speakers in one portion of the country are trying to conceal the partv issue that is made most of somewhere else. In every republican speech will be found a plea for these three things Loyalty to tbe flag. Preservation of the national credit. Inviolability of tbe courts. Taken together, the divided voices of the democracy are calling for: Treachery to the flag. Destruction of tbe national dredit. Degradation of the courts. If there are voters who while they can't stir within themselves any political partisanship still have prejudice for straightforwardness and frankness, they will vote the repub lican ticket. FACTS FOR WOOL-GROWERS. The sheep of the United Slates are worth twice ss much money today as they were at the close of the year 1896. Then their value was $67,- 000,000; now it is over 1 22,000,000. What is tbe reason for this remark able change? In 1892, under the McKinley pro tective tariff, the imports of wool amounted to but 148,000,000 pounds and tbe home production was 294,000,000 pounds, while tho aver age price for washed Ohio fleece was 29 cents per pound. In tbe fiscal year 1897, the closing mitted wool free of duty, imports were 330,000,000 pounds and the production only 259,000,000 pounds, while tbe average price in 1896 was 184; cents. In 1899, under the Dingley tariff which thoroughly protected tbe wool growers of tbe United States, the ira ports fell to 76,000,000 pounds, the production increased to 272.000,000 pounds, and the price increased to 28 cents per pound. It is not surprising, then, that the value of sheep on American farms fell from 1 16,000,000 in January, 1892, to 67,0O0,O0O on January 1, 1897, and that it increased under the restoration of the protective tariff to 1122,000,000 on January 1, 1900. It is suggested that the vote of Carl Schurz for Bryan should be in dorsed on the buck as "good only provided a republican congress acts this fall so as to render Bryan powerless lor mischief.
