The Scranton Republican point edly illustrates the difference be tween Republican and Democratic theories of government by showing that under the administration of President Cleveland the principal difficulty was in trying to get rid of a while under the last and present administrations the chief problem has been what to do with the surplus. Not Wanted Now. Those able politicians who are advocating an upheaval of the Tariff will not find public senti ment with them. The people don't want the Tariff question reopened. They don't want the schedules re vised. They don't want the pres ent status upset. Without regard to politics we believe the sentiment of the country is in favor of letting things alone at t his time. The peo ple arc prosperous. Our trade at home and abroad was never better. Our markets were never so great, nor the promise of the future so flattering. Why then disturb the Tariff? Why reopen a business question at a dangerous time? Why run the risk of losing, even for a little while, the prosperity and confidence which now reigns all over the land ? The Tariff tinkers are not wanted now. Let them come in when something breaks, when the machinery goes wrong.—Wheeling (W. Va.) News. The Greatest Real Estate Deal. The ratification of the proposed charter amendments at the election in St. Louis recently insured the success of the great Louisiana Pur chase Exposition in 1903. This will fittingly celebrate the most tremendous real estate transaction in history. Napoleon was a man of miracu lous mental grasp, but it is doubt ful whether even he realized all that the Louisiana purchase was to mean in the coming century. There was nothing in all the preceding annals of the world to guage it by. With a single exception there lias been nothing since. A hundred years ago the huge territory, nearly a million square miles ;n extent, then called Louis iana, v. as practically an uninhabit ed wilderness. A little group of settieme!; about New Orleans, and a smaller one at St. Louis, re presented all the foothold that civilization had within it. To-day it contains over fourteen million people, living in fourteen great States and territories. With the single exception men tioned, there is nothing in all the history of colonization to compare with that record. The one parallel car-e is the growth of the States be tween the Alleghenies and the Mississippi. It took the colonies on the Atlantic seaboard over a hundred years to gain a .million people. Australia started substantially even with Louisiana a century ago; she has less than four million in habitants to-day. Canada was far ahead of Louis iana in 1803; she has little more than a third of the population of the Louisiana purchasejjnow. It took England nearly fifteen hundred years, from the landing of Hengist and Horsa to the year 1841, to make the progress that Louisiana has made in a single century. Had the Louisiana purchase be come an independent nation, it would have ranked to-day in all respects as a first-class power. Its population would have been less than that of the great powers of Europe, but its wealth, energy, enterprise, industry and intelli gence would have placed it fully abreast of them. It would have been able to take care of itself in any company. The Louisiana purchase has eight cities of over a hundred thousand people each, of which one has over half a million and another over a quarter of a million. It contains the fifth State in the Union in population. It has more miles of railroad than any country in the world out side of the United States. It has the greatest extent of pro ductive farm land in the world. It has a greater system of navi gable waterways than any other region of equal extent outside of Brazil. It has some of the world's rich est mines of gold, silver, copper, lead, iron and coal. It is developing a mighty system of manufactures. It has produced in places what some consider the finest school system in existence. Europe has stood in arms for thirty years because France and Germany cannot agree about the ownership of Alsace and Lorraine. Money enough has been spent to plate the provinces with gold. The Louisiana purchase would make a hundred and seventy Alsace-Lor raines. In the region that Jefferson bought for $15,000,000 three mill ion people can find homes in com fort. At $lO an acre, its land would be worth six times our pre sent national debt. The mere ex position with which one of its cities is to celebrate its purchase will cost more than we paid for the entire domain. Our first attempt at expansion has been the most brilliantly suc cessful in history. It is well that it should be fittingly celebrated, and with it the memory of the great men who brought it about, and who, by that act, secured to their country the place of the first power on earth. That the Louisi ana purchase has transformed the United States from an Atlantic coast power into a continental power is the best monument of Thomas Jefferson. Pittsburg Catholic.
