EDITORIAL fIENTION.
The Democrats assert that tropic
al colonies have never been com
mercially successful, yet the tropics
of the globe are governed by tem
perate zone nations.
More American manufactures
have been exported during the past
fiscal year than during the entire
period the Democrats controlled tin*
goverment of the I 'nited States.
The Democrats maintain that the
Philippine war was needless. True
we could have abandoned the Is
lands to tlie < ierman Admiral who
annoyed Dewey, but then Dewey
was not built that way.
Possibly one reason why tlio
Democrats are so opposed to the
Philippine policy ofthe Administra
tion is because the "Commoner''
pictured a Maeabebc scout as a full
blooded negro.
Criminal aggression against the
Pilipinosonsisjs in building ports,
roads and schoolhouses. in insist
ing 011 sanitary measures, in provid
ing a low equitable tariff and in
aiding them to learn the art of
self-government.
A million dollars worth of opium
recently arrived at San Francisco.
The Democratic leaders might be
able to see a victory in November
next if they could only procure
that consigment for use in their
own pipes.
The tours being made by Presi
dent Roosevelt are splendid object
lessons in patriotism and cannot
help doing much good. His pride
in being made an "Honorary Loco

genuine. W tions of this character

Pennsylvania in the recent past j
has been subject to so much adverse
comment in other States that it is j
interesting to note how the present j
situation is regarded. The New |
York Sun, in discussing the po- j
litical situation in the State lias |
something to say concerning hap- i
penings behind the scenes. The 1
Sun sees in I'attison merely an j
ambitious politician whose friends |
would seek to enter him for the !
Presidential race if by any strange j
chance, ''volcanic upheaval,'' the \
Sun calls it, ho should be eleeted.
The Sun believes that Penny packer
will not look beyond the ollice of j
(iovernor and will "perform its;
important duties upon the same |
principles that always governed
him in his private and public life— j
It is always safe to do what is j
right." The views of the Sun con- j
cerning the character and motives \
of the two candidates are especially !
interesting. They indicate that in j
the Sun ollice, at least, the nomi
nation of Judge Pennypacker is
regarded as a fortunate circum
stance for the Republican party
and for the people of Pennsylvania.
But the Sun makes other comments
equally interesting. It devotes a
little attention to Guffey as the
earnest and disinterested advocate
of reform. It says of Guffey that
"his eagle eye is fixed upon the
Senatorship as eagerly as the eye
of his political followers is fixed
upon his barrel filled to bursting,
(iuffeyhas no idea that I'attison
will get any nearer to the (iover
nor ship than Singerly did eight
years ago, when he proclaimed for
the Democratic principles and
policies from the Delawere to Lake
Erie —the louder and longer he
talked the higher rose the majority
of his opponent, until it reached
'_»50,000. < iuffey and I'attison have
planned to avoid Singerly mistake
in 1801, and instead of rending the
mountains for Democratic princi
ples they will proclaim against
Republican "imperialisn" and Re
publican policies, and it is current
belief that the more I'attison talks
on that line the more and more will
Guffey's chances for a seat in the
United States Senate shrink and
wither like a beautiful and fragrant
Mower of hothouse culture exposed
to the cruel frosts of November.'"
That the Sun has sized np the
situation aright will become more
apparent as the campaign proceeds.
Popular Suffrage in the South.
Senator Patterson of Colorado, in
discussing the Philippine Civil
Government Bill, in the United
States Senate last May said it was
a monstrous piece of legislation be
cause it would not permit more than
5 per cent, of the people in the Is
lands to vote. The Southern Demo
crats endorsed the views of the
Colorado Senator. But what
shocks the Democratic Senators in
the Philippines does not disturb
them at home. South Carolina,
the State of Tillman, and Mississip
pi, the State of Money, hold elec
tions year after year and claim to
be among the oldest States in the
Union, but neither of these States
cast enough votes in 1000 to equal
I percent, of the population. The
vote of South Carolina was about
.'>.<» per cent, of the population,
while tbe total vote of Mississippi
was equal to .'s.x per cent, of the
population. In South Carolina,
where Tillman boasts that they
have a white man's government,
there were, according to the census
of MM Ml, RiO,.'i7s white males of
voting age, and the total vote of
the State in that year was only 50,-
815, or a little more than one-third
of the white men of voting age in i
the State, and only one-fifth of the
j men of voting age. t'ould any
! tiling be more farcial in popular I
government than the State of Suuth
j < urolina even as a white man'.-
government? Mis.»i»ippi i- no
better. There are 1 50,5.'10 white
males of voting age in that State
\ and the total vote in the last Presi
dential election was.V.», |o;{. There
were little more than one-third the
white men of the State voting, and
lc-- than one-fifth of the voters
whit* and colored recorded as
j voting.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1902.
Bacon, another critic of the Philip
pine hill, only 5 per cent, of the !
population voted in 1900; in Texas
it was 13 per cent; in Virginia 14 i
percent; while in Ohio there was |
25 per cent of the population re- j
corded as voting in 1900; in New
York 21 per cent; and in Illinois
23 per cent. It is from (Jeorgia,
Alabama, South Carolina and Miss
issippi that solid Democratic dele
gations will he elected in Novem- :
her. South Carolina will elect j
Congressmen and Mississippi will i
elect eight with fewer votes than J
are required to elect one member
of the House from Ohio, Illinois or
New York. It is this unequal rep- i
resentation which makes neees- ,
nary a harder fight in every .Nort h
ern State to prevent the South
from controlling Congress.
Why Democrats Are Sad.
The St. I'aul Globe, like other
Democratic Organs of the West, is
discouraged by the good crops, and
good prices that make the farmers
prosperous, and unwilling to listen
to the wail of the calamity howler.
The Globe asks:
"Is the rain fall due to Dingley
tariff schedules or to New Jersey
trust extortions? If the ballot of
the American citizen can be con
trolled by the rainfall and the crop
yield, where is the boasted intelli
gence and independence of the Re
public?"
The Globe and all other Demo
cratic organs should remember
President Cleveland's maxim:
'•lt is a condition and not a theory
which confronts us.'' The Ameri
can people are capable of judging
theories by conditions, and while
the rainfall has brought forth good
crops this year, the same was true
in 1800 and the farmers were not
prosperous or happy. In that last
year of Democratic administration
and low tariff schedules in the
Wilson-Gorman law, the rainfall
was good and the corn crop the
largest in the history of the country,
either before or since that date, un
less this year's crop shall surpass
it. We produced 2,28.3,875,165
bushels of corn in IN,SO and it sold
at an average price of 21.5 per
bushel at the farm, making the
total farm value of the crop 8491,-
006,957. In 1 i>«»I the corn crop
was more than 750,000,00(1 bushels
less than in 1890 and the value of
it nearly doubled that of the Demo
cratic tariff year. In 1901 the
average price of coin at the farm
was 00.5 cents, and the total farm
value 8921.555,708. The rain
fall is not the only agency for pros
perity even on the farm.
The wheat crop was much smaller
in 1890 than in 1901 but it did not
bring increased price due to its
scarcity, because there was a scarc
ity of labor and wages to purchase
wheat bread. In 1X96 the wheat
crop amounted to 427,684,346
bushels and the farm value of the
crop was $310,(505,539. Last year
the wheat crop amounted to 74X,-
400,218 bushels and the farm value
was 8467,350,156. The oat crop
in 1896 amounted to 707,346,404
bushels and its farm value was
*132,4X5,033. In 1901 the oat
crop amounted to 73(5,X0X,724
bushels and its farm value was
8293,655,777. While the <>at crop
as larger by only 30, 000,000 bushels
| last year the value; was more than
double that of Ix!i6. These are the
j conditions on the farm which are
einbarrasing to the calamity howl
ers. They iind that Nature and
| the Dingley law are cooperating
this year and giving calamity it

Roosevelt on the Trusts.
"I said nothing that I did not
think I could make good,"
thundered President Roosevelt at
Fitchburg, Mass.
Then bringing Ins clenched hand
down upon the flag-draped guard
rail in front of him, he said: "I
shall not hesitate now to take (he
position which 1 then advocated."
Reaching the climax of his speech
as the great crowd sent up a roar
! of applause, lie said:
"1 think we can get laws which
| will measurably increase the power
I of the Federal government over
! corporations, but 1 believe firmly j
(hat in the end there will have to ;
lie an amendment to the Constitu
tion of (lie nation conferring addi- j
j tional power upon the Federal i
! government to deal with corpora-!
j tions."
'•1 do not wish your applause,"
I lie shouted, as the crowd broke into
j cheers. "I don't wish your ap
plause, but I wish you to think of
what 1 have said, because it repre
j sent* all the sincerity and earnest
| ness that 1 have.
•'What I have said on tliis plat
form 1 have said before, and would
not hesitate to say at a private
j table with any of the biggest cor
! poration managers in the land."

Cholera and Biurrahoea Kemedy.
"15. L. Bycr, a well known cooper of

Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
| saved his life last summer, lb; had
I been sick for a month with what the
j doctors call bilious dysentery, and could
I get nothing to do him any good until he
I tried this remedy, ft gave hiui itnmedi

Mr. D. I'. Daugherty, well known
throughout Mercer and Sumner counties,
W. Va., most likely owes his life to the
kindness of a neighbor. He was almost
hopelessly afflicted with diarrhoea; was
attended by two physicians who gave him
little, if any, relief, when a neighbor
learning of his serious condition, brought
him a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which
cured him in less than twenty-four hours.
