The people 1 y great majorities iasrud to

No single fact can mure strikingly

that while duriiiK the whole period from

In suiting th American people to In

that th menace to their prosperity has
always resided in Democratio principles
and no less iu the general incapacity of
th Democratic party to conduct public
affairs. The prim essentia of busi
ness prosperity is public confidence in
th good seuse of th government and
lU ability to deal Intelligently with all
new problems of admiaistration and
legislation. That confidence the Demo
cratic party has never earned. It is
hopelessly Inadequate, and the country'

in mere antisipation of Democratia

W renew our allegiance to the prin

In th further interests of American

of opportunities of education for work

lieve that employment in the public

from being tbe first of this country's
notable diplomatic conquests. 'It is

in Paris, in wliichOrett Britain ar
knowledge! Ihe Jndvrnulence of Ihe
United S'ates, ' "Everything the
L'uiled Sla:es could, wjth aqy shadow

they obtained -was grai t'l to then

lons of 17H2. to shut the United

y making the Atleghanies this
country's westerly boundary, instead
ol fie Mississippi, which the Ameri
can representatives demanded, and
which thiy obtained from England
without the knowledge or consent of
their allies.
Here was a diplomatic victory
which Ihe United States gained ai
ihe very beginning of its career as a
nt-tion. Ii haa won many remark
able triumphs in the same field sii.ee.
file victory which Jobu Adams, Jay
tnd Franklin won in the treaty ot
Paris cloning' te war of iodepen
ieuce was not equaled by tbe settle-
mi nt of the war of 1812, which was
eflecled by John Q'lincy Adams,
Clay, Osllatin aud Uiy'ard,at Ghent,
in 1811, but the latter adjustment,
nevertheless, was a victory lor the
Am. rican negotiators, and called out
from some of the leading British
newspapers the charge that their own
represent dives were seriously out
classed iu ability aud courage in the
negotiation. A sliil moreconspicu-
ous Iriump was gained by the United
rtist-s when Mor.nss and Secrttiry
of Sate Adams he tiled the conspira
tors of the Holy Alliance in 1823,
aud preserved the independence ol
Mexico, Chill, Peru and the rest of
Ihe nations of the American conti
nent which had Just broken away
from Spain. That victory, which
was hailed with delight by Canning
and Ihe British ministry of that day,
has been supplemented by Ihe invo
cation of the M mroe principle against
France in the Mexican case in 1806,
and against England In the case of
Vent-xuta in 189e.
All this may be called shirt-sleeves
diplomacy, but it is honest, courage-
ous and effective. The same sort of
iiplomacy Is neing employed in
China at this moment. No filial
in Ihe United States is telling Am
erican soldiers la China to give no
quarter lo their enemies. Nobody
who has any connection with the
government Is threatening a declars-
ion of war. The Chinese govern
ment is told that il must give up the
ruitiist-rs to their respective govern
ments, protect the foreign residents
aud punish the persons who have
r immlfed any outrages against any
of them. After the Chim-se authori
ties do Ciese things, promise to pre
vent the recurrence of these distur
bances lo the future, and show they
are acting in good faith in trying t
suppress the reU'llion, then the old
relations of amily bttween China and
the rest of the world will be re-eetab
lished. If the Chinese government
agrees to the reasonable terms which
are promised by the United State it
will be saved from danger of dis
memberment, Ihe nations which
were using this d S'urbance as a pre
text by which they could accomplish
their schemes of territorial aggian-
ix-ment will lie foiled, and a sort of
Monroe doctrine will tie established
in Asia by the United Ststes in 1900
like that which, as promulgated In
1823, has protected the New World

SIREKUTH OFHEmil.lCAXIVV.
The republican party in entering
upon the campaign oi 1900 has an un
usual advantage.
The ordinary methods of political
argument are of: en ineffective be
cause there are always two sides to a
question and men of unquestioned
patriotism and general intelligence
may look upon different sides of a
thing and see it in difierent ways.
But there ran be no difference of
opinion among reasonable men con
cerning two main facts of recent na
tional history.
One is that the country was suffer
ing from hard times four years ago.
The other It that the country is
prosperous at the pres. ut time.
Sensible men, honest with them
selves aad with their fellows and ac
quainted with the conditions as they
existed then and as they exi t
throughout the couutry t slay, do
not dispute these two facts. ,
Tht re is another fact equally indis
putable, aud that is that the demo
cratic parly four years ago, in dis-
cussiog the hard times that then ex
isted, put itself on record as declaring
that only one remedy could lie found
for the national misfottunes and thut
was the remedy suggested by that
party. The returu ol proeierity
demonstrates absolutely the falsity of
he democratic declarations and
proves Unit their remedy was not the
only one that their leaders were Ig
norant of the principles of national
prosperity,
Tht re can be no doubt about this.
The return of prosperity has falsified
he demtai'ratic predictions and prin
ciples of 1896.
But the republican party claims
further, and it brings the most con.
vincing prool in support of Us decla
ration, that the return of prosperity
was not only a.-hieved in direct vio-
1. tion of democratic principles, but
that it was directly brought about by
the operation of republican legislation
and successful administration of the
national affairs.
There were two main reas.ii for
this.
The first was the restoration uf a
republican protective tariff, by means
of which American manufacturers
were released from competition with
the cheap methods and wage scales of
Europe. In connection with this
and as a result of wise republican
legislation and adniinbtration our
foreign commerce has been enor
mously Increased, thus addiug to the
demand for American made goods,
Increasing the balance of I rode in our
favor to an unprecedented amount
and bringing lo this country vast
sums t Is? added, to our motif y in
circulation.
The second reason giveo by the re
publicans for the ri turn of prosperity
was the settlement of the question of
the money standard of the country.
Apart from the quest'ou of which
rttndard was the best, it has been of
iuca'culable value to the business in
terests of the country to jave the
matter settled, ami nettled in such a
way that the decision cannot lie dis
turbed f ir a considerable riod of!
years. The establishment of th'
gold standard bas beeu of benefit t )
country by fixing the basis upon
which business rests.
The republican party bases its
main claim t indorsement by Ihe
people ujsrn the facts and simple ar
guments so evident th t it iPs-s not
seem possible t controvert them.
The main facts the democrats do
not deny, for ll.ey ,,.,., but ti.ey
turn their attention i, uiim-r mailers!
and emphssixe them in the hope that'
they cau induce the voters to give a
vote upon suiue little quibble rather
than upon tbe main Issues of tha
yeur.
The tremendous strength of the re
publican party this year is due lo the
fact that it is imes la fore the voters
with the prestige of sui-cees If haa
done what it said il waa going to do.
It has triumphed wlAVe its prede
cess. ir failed iugloriously.
It lias succeeded where its great
opponent prophesied Inevitable
failure.
If it had no other claim to re-election
than a promise of the continu
ance of the conditions that have pre
vailed for the past lour years it
would deaerve a triumphant ind irse
meut from the people of the United
Stales. Colorado Springs "Oaxelte."
