The money counted is $750,000. The lai d owners of Newberg have do nated land for the plant, and the far uier have bonded themselves to cul. tivKte 5000 acres of land planted to beets. In other words New-berg is to have a sugar factory. The me chanics will do their part promptly and well. Ho ought the farmers. But to do ho they should now set part the lot or field which is to go into beets. It ought to be plowed lhla fall, deep too. The farmers are really undertaking a new trade. They know how lo raiae IteeU. The matter ought (o be studied before the seed ia planted. The augar industry came near failing In Union county the drat year. All because the far mers did not know how. The ma chines drilled the seeds well enough, but the ground was hard; it was weedy; It was dry. They did not cultivate the lst way, did not thin properly. The same experience went to the Salt Lake factory, and to the Nebraska imluatry. Can't the New berg people do la'tter? 8 1 ATE I'KtSS. When the United Slates secured posaessian of the Philippines, it was not foreseen that the policy of her position there would so soon be vin dicated. Amid all the riot and an archy existing in China, the United States, as no Kuroaan nation could do, is thus enabled to assume the leading responsibility in bringing about a settlement of the serious complication. She can now aanert her claims as a world ower, and haa a reserve near at hand to make those claims g'HxI. Some people, call this Imperialism, hut when we are thus able to exeit an influence in ttie Orient which iniures safety agmntt a general disruption among the powois, it would appear to thinking and solx-r minded eople that the practice of this kind of imperiali-uii has everything to commend itself Newberg Graphic. The frenzied anxiety of the Ken tucky democrat tor a stievinl session of the legislature to reeal the In fa mous OoelH'l ehvtion law lie fore No vember next, is a tacit confession ol political pertidity which they dare not leave open until the presidential election. This will he a sort of "noose rvnntaiice" which will uol appeal very deeply to the considerate voter. Orsphic. "If we are going to give the Fili pino their independence," say Bryan In a recent letter, -'we ought to say so at once, and thus avoid fur ther bloodshed." It is suggested that Mr. Bryan should explain if he would give luUcieudcnce to each of the sixty tribes, or authori.e one trihe, in the name of lndependenco, to tyrantiie over all the others.

We have sent war ships iuto the srta of China and are sending an army there lo compel the observance of this section of the treaty concluded with that government in 1857 by Dr. Pettr Parker, commissioner and minister 'plenipotentiary of the United States: "The principles of the Christit n religion as expressed hy the Protest ant and Koman Catholic 'churches are recognized as teaching him t ) do to others as they would have (Others do to them. Hereafter, those who quietly profess and teach lliese doc triues shall not lm harassed or perse cuted ou account of their faith.

McklNLKV, Jt A. The prohibitionists are swing as men politically cleaner than others aud demand support because they are "Is-tler than that 'publican." but in truth there has been no party of modem time- that has la-en more sinister in its attacks upon its oppon ents, and especially is this true of the assaults made upon Pres. McKinlcy l'hi gixaly, goody patty is ready to seize ou aud circulat- every vicious rumor aspersing the PresideLt's er- sonal character.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM Phtladei.ttii a. -Following is the full text of the platform adopted by the Re publican National convention : The Kepnblicaitanf the United States, through their chosen representatives. met in national convention, looking back upon an unsurpassed ' record of achievement, and looking forward into a great field of duty and opportunity and appealing to the judgment of their countrymen, make these declarations: The expectation -in which the Ameri can people, turning from tho Dninocratio party, intrusted power four years ago to a Republican chief magistrate and a Republican congress, has been met and satisfied. When' the people then as sembled at the polls after- a term of Democratic legislation and administra tion, busiue s was dead, indnstry para lysl aud the national credit disastrous ly impaired. The country's capital was hidden awny aud Its lalsir distress ed and unemployed. The Democrats had no other plan with which to im prove the rniuous conditions which they had themselves produced than to coin silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Preaprrlty nronght llj Rrpnhllrana. The Republican party denonnclng this plan as sure to produce conditions even worse thaii those from which re lief was souitht, promised to restore prosperity by means of two legislative measures a protective tariff and a law making gold the standard of value. The people by great majorities issued to the Republican party a commission to enact these laws. This commission has been executed and the Republican promise is redeemed. Prosperity more general and more abundant thau wo have ever known has followed these enactments. There Is no longer any controversy as to tho value of any gov ernmcnt ob igarions. Every American dollar is a gold dollar or its assured equivalent, and American credit stands higher than that of any other nation. Capital is fully employed and every- wnero lahor Is profitably occupied.

Walk ing untried paths and facing unforeseen responnibilitie. IVesideut McKiuley has been in every situation the true Ameri can patriot and upright statesman, clear" In vikinu, strong iu judgment, firm iu action, always inspiring and deserving the coufiileuce of his countrymen. - in asking the American peoplo to in dorse this Kt publicum record and to re new their commission to the liepubli oau party, we rejuuid them of the tact tlial the menace to their prosrity has always resided iu Democratic priueipkia and no less in the general incuuu.-ity of the Democratic pui ty to couduet public affairs. Tho prime essential of bust Bess prosperity is public confidence ju the good sense of the government unci its ability to dual intelligently with all new problems of administration ttnd legislaliou. That oontMeoco Hie B-mo eratlo party has never earned. It is hopelessly inadequate, aud the country's prosperity, when Deniocrutio success at the polls is announced, halts and ceases in mere antisipation of UeiiKH-ratio blunders and failures. Declaration for the Gold Standard. We renew our allegiance to tho prin ciple of the gold standard, and declare our uouftdenoe in tne wisdom of the legislation of the Fifty-sixth congress by which the parity of all our money and the stability of oar currency ob a gold basis has been secured. We recognize that interest rates ant a h tont factor In production and business activity aud for the purpose of further equalizing aud of further lowering the rates of interest we favor snch mone tary legislation as will enable the vary ing needs of the season aud of all s-o-tioas to be properly met in order Unit trade may be evenly sustained, labor steadily employed aud commerce en larged. The volume of money in cir culation was never so great per capita as it ia today. We declare our steadfast opposition to the free and Delimited coinage of silver. No measure to that end could be considered which was without the support of the leading commercial coun tries of the world. However firmly Republioaa legislation may seem tc have secured the country agaiast the peril of base aud discredited currency the eleetioa of a Democratic president could not fail to impair the oouutry'i oredit sad to bring once wore into qnes Moa the iateutiou of the American ieo le to Bkaiataiu upon the gald standard the parity of their money circulation. The Democratic party must be con vinced that the American people will never tolerate the Chicago platform. On th Qtivatlnn of Trnsta. We recognize the necessity and pro priety of the honest co-operation of cap ital to meet new business conditions, , anil especially to extend our rapidly in creasing foreign trade, but we condemn all- conspiracies and combinations in tended to restrict business, to create monopolies, to limit production or to control pi-ices, and favor such legis lation as will effectually restrain and prevent all such abuses, protect and promote competition and secure the rights of producers, laborers aud all who are engaged in industry and com merce. Iparatlon for Protection. We renew cur faith in the policy of protection to American labor. In that policy our industries have been estab lished, diversified aud maintained. By protecting the home market, the com petition has been stimulated and pro duction cheapened. Opportunity the inventive genius of our people has been secured and wages in every depart ment of labor have been maintained at high rates, higher now than ever before, thus distiugnislring our working people in their better conditions of life from those of any competing countrv. En joying the blessings of American com mon schools, secure in the right of self government and protected in tho occu pancy of their own markets their con stantly increasing kuowlege aud skill hve enabled th. m finally to enter the markets of rim wr.rl.1 V f,.vor th associated policy of reciprocity, so di rected as to open our markets on favor able terms for what we do not ourselves produce in returu for free foreign mar kets. In the further interests of American workmen, we favor a more effective re striction of the immigration of cheap labor from foreign lauds, the extension of opportunities of education for work ing children, the raising of the age limit for child labor, the protection of free labor as agaiust oonviet labor and an effective system of labor insurance. Our present dependence on foreign shipping for nine-tenths of our foreign carrying is a great loss to the iudnstry of thi country. It is also a serious danger to our trade for its sudden with drawal in the event of a European war wonld seriously cripple our expanding foreign commerce. The national de fense and naval efficiency of this coun try, moreover, supply a compelling rea son for legislation which will enable us to recover our former place among the trade carrying flis?ts of tho world. Liberal reunion I.aa Favored. The. nation owes a debt of profound gratitude to the soldiers nnd sailors who have fought its Unties, and it is thegov ernment duty to provide f,,r the sur vivors and for the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in the coun try's wars. Tbi'fsiision laws fonndi-d in this just sentiment should he liberal Slid should be liberally administerifl, and prefcrcnee bould bo given, wher ever praetn-able, with respect to em ployment In the public service, to sol. diers and sailors and to their willows and opiums, Repnhlfrans nd tliCttl Serrlre.

In the further pursuance of the con stant poliey of the Republican party to provide free homes on the publio do main, we recommend adequate national legislation to reclaim thn arid lands of the United States, reserving control of the distribution of water for irrigation to the respective states aud territories. We favor home rulo for and the early admission to statehood of the territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma. War Tasks and Nlflarag-ns Csaal. The Dingloy act, amended to pro vide sufficient revenue for the conduct of the war, has so well performed its work that it has been possible to reduce the war debt in the sum of $40,000,000. So ample are the government's revenues and so great is the public confidence In the integrity of its obligations, that its newly funded two per cent bonds sell at a premium. The country is now jastified in expecting anil it will bo the policy of the Republican party to bring about a reduction of tho war taxes. We favor the construction, owner ship, control and protection of an isthmian oanal by the government of the United States. New markets are eoessary for the Increasing surplus of our farsn products. Kvcry effort should be made to epen and obtain new mar kets, especially in the Orieut, and the I administration is warmly to be com-' mended for its successful effort to com mit all trading and colonizing nations to the policy of the open door in China rpprmnt of Conimrre Favord. . In the interest of our expanding com merce we recommend tliat congress cre ate a department of commerce and in dustries in the charge of a secretary, with a sent in the cabinet. The United States consular system should be reor ganized under the supervision of this new department npou such a basis of appointment and tenure as will render it still more serviceable to the nation's increasing trade. Tho American government must pro the person and property of every citizen wherever they are wrongfully violated or placed in peril. We congratulate the women of Am erica ujion their splendid record of pub lic service in the volunteer aid associa tion, and as nurses in camp and hospital during the recent campaigns of our armies in the Kastern and Western Indies, and we appreciate their faithful co opt ration in all works of education and industry.
