EDITORIAL HENTION.
Democrats in Alabama and Texas
favor expansion.
Tammany will probably be permitted
to furnish the ice for the Kansas City
convention.
Wbat's the matter with having tour
years more of the Advance Agent of
prosperity?
The Boer envoys will not make the
mistake of assuming that Mr. Sulzer is
the Government of the United States.
The foreign vessels sailing from the
ports of the United States for Europe
during last year carried 05.70 per cent
of the exports of the United States.
t t
+ +
The railroads of the United States,
the world's greatest commercial arter
ies, are expanding in touch with public
sentiment. These great organizations
do not respond to false alarms.
+ +
J- +
Supplying our colonies with eggs is
one of the benefits to farmers of the ex
pansion policy. Last year we exported
3,700,000 dozen eggs, as compared with
only 1.'i1,000 dozen in 1895. Lay on, O
lien!
It is gradually drawing on the Demo
cratic platform makers that a shell
tipped with present prosperity is able
to pierce the heaviest piece of sil verized
armor plate ever forged in the furnace
of adversity.
The Democratic politician will not
mind the prolongation of the war in
South Africa as long as he thinks he
can utilize it to party advantage by
misrepresenting the real attitude of the
President in the matter.
The New York World is not distrib
uting free loaves of bread this year, as
it did in 1804. The people can afford
to buy their own bread now. Yet the
World continues to rail at the McKin
ley administration, because it is a part
of its stock in trade.
+ X
New York Bankers have loaned
France §10,000,000, and would bo pleas
ed to do a little more accommodating
in that particular line. There must be
prosperity when our bankers are com
pelled togo away from home in order
to And people to loan their money to.
American woolen goods are begin
ning to reach the markets of the world,
under a tariff that protects the farmers'
wool clip. Last year we exported over
a million dollars' worth of American
woolens, and our imports of woolens
were a mere trifle compared with those
under the Wilson law.
Gen. A. J. Warner, president of the
bimetallic league says: "There is suf
ficient reason for not making silver
coinage the chief issue in this cam
paign." This is true. More gold has
been mined since Bryan's defeat, in
1896, than was mined in the first half of
the century just ending.
t 112
+ +
It was under the last Democratic ad
ministration and the last free trade ;
tariff that the farmer could exchange j
his pound of wool for a pound and a '
half of sugar. But under the McKinley
administration his wool was worth i
;aore, while sugar was cheaper, and the j
pound of wool brings four pounds of
sugar.
The statement lias been going the
rounds ofthe press that "Bryan has re
t:r< <1 to his farm." This is all done for
o,T' et, and to make farmers believe he
< iiia of themselves. As a matter of
fact, Bryan's farm has but recently
been purchased out of the proceeds ac
quired from his gas belt. He is green
at the plow.
t t
+ +
If it were not for the good times, if it
were not for the Chicago platform, if it
were not for their past record, if it were
not that McKinley has been such a
promise keeper, if it were not that the
American people know a good thing
when they have it, and if it were not
for a few more if's, it would be safe to
bet money on Democratic success this
fall.
112 +
+ +
It was only six months after Presi
dent McKinley's inauguration that the
New York Herald, on September 6,
1897, published a table showing "how
the idle army is decreasing." It tabu
lated the trades to which 157,700 handi
craftsmen belonged, showing that 26,150
more men had found work within a
year, and that 132,350 were employed
in 1897, as compared with only 106,200
in 1896. It is safe to say that every one
of the 157,700 is at work to-day, if he
wants to be.
t +
The trusts are not having things their
own way by any means. Officers and
directors of the Ice Trust, of New York,
have been summoned to show why
they should not be proceeded against
criminally on the charge of conspiracy.
They are accused of constraining and
preventing competition. There is no
tariff on ice, therefore it can not be an
offspring of protection. Its parentage
has been traced directly to Tammany
Hall, which is robbing the poor of New
York and depriving the people there
of a summer necessity.
Bossism.
We never did take any stock in the
cry of "bo3sism" and "rings," which is
so freely used by opposing political
parties, or by the minority faction of
the same party, to excite prejudice
against the majority. The political
ring that appears most obnoxious is
the best managed and smoothest run
ning organization, and the "boss" that
excites the most opposition is the one
who is most competent to manage.
Rings that fall to pieces by their own
weight, and in which every man wants
to be captain, as is sometimes the case
with rural fire companies, are seldom
denounced very bitterly by the oppo
sition, because they are uot in their
way.
In the jolting and shaking of politics
and public business it is just as natural
for the most capable men to come to
the top as it is for the big potatoes to
be found at the top of the barrel afler
being hauled fourteen miles over a
rough road. The. little potatoes may
set up a howl of discontent and accuse
the farmer of trying to deceive his cus
tomers. But it is not the fault of the
farmer. It is simply the operation of
natural law. The penalty of littleness
is to get to the bottom in the shake-up,
and be obscured by bigger things.
Leaders do not make themselves. Let
not thy discreet heart think it. It is
the confidence and good will of the peo
ple that makes a leader, and to inspire
the confidence of the people he must
possess superior qualities. He must not
be a bungler or a fool. He must be pa
triotic, just and sympathetic. If he is
not he will have no followers, and con
sequently no power either for good or
evil.
Leadership in the churches, in busi
ness, in the professions and in politics,
is a matter of natural selection. The
fittest will come to the top despite all
efforts to cry him down. You may
paint hideous caricatures and set them
up as scare-crows, vehemently asserting
them to be correct portraits of rapacious
and tryannical pretenders, and may
thereby occasionally create a temporary
stampede in the rear ranks, but the
masses will continue to follow the mas
ter spirits. If McKinley is the present
"boss" of the Republican party and
Bryan of the Democratic party, it is
because they possess the qualities of
leadership—because the people are at
tracted towards them and are eager to
enlist under their banner.—Punxsu
tawney Spirit.
