IMPERIALISM AND DEMOCRATS.
An Inmm' That In \\ itiiout Foilntinlion
—Souml Currency tilt* Only
Sufe One.
Tbe announcement of Senator
James K. Jones that anti-iniperial
ism must be the paramount issue
upon which the democrats go into
the next presidential campaign
would have a tendency to disturb
all democrats who wish for the suc
cess of the party were it not for
one thing. That is the settled con
viction that James K. will not be
allowed to dictate or formulate a
policy for the party in 1904. His day
as leader or dictator is past, and the
party will select a safer man to fol
low when it again falls into line for
a national campaign. Mis inefficien
cy as a leader has been fully dem
onstrated, and he and those who
think with him may as well retire
gracefully or they will be retired,
says the .Montgomery (Ala.) Adver
tiser (dem.).
The folly of making or trying to
make a definite issue of anti-im
perialism is mere moonshine. It
matters not what the individual opin
ions of democrats may be on the
question of our foreign policy, it is
foolish to suppose that the party will
unite in opposition to the policy of
the government while it is engaged
in a foreign wvtir. It is perfectly true
that some of our strongest demo
cratic statesmen are opposed to the
retention of the Philippines, but it
is equally true that others of equal
prominence and patriotism, as well
as of equal devotion to democracy,
are in full accord with the policy now.
being pursued. We admit that demo
crats may hold these diverse opinions
without ceasing to be democrats, but
to talk about uniting the party on
a policy of virtual opposition to the
government is tommy-rot. Evidently
Senator Jones wishes to fall upon an
issue which will virtually relegate
the money question to the back
ground without saying so in so many
words. lie would find, if be could
have his way, that his "paramount is
sue" would divide the democracy in
finitely wvirse than free coinage did.
While we are speaking of issues
and platforms, it may not be out of
place to refer to the platform re
cently formulated by one «'»f the
shrewest men in the party, David I?.
Hill. It is thus briefly stated:
"A strict construction of the fed
eral constitution. No entangling al
liances with foreign nations. Insist
ence upon the reserved right of the
states. Public taxation for public
purposes only. Opposition to monop
olies and dangerous combinations of
capital. The preservation of the
personal liberty of the citizen. No
centralization. Home rule for states
and municipalities. These arc dem
ocratic principles, which survive all
defeats and must ultimately tri
umph."
We thoroughly agree with Mr. Hill
that these are all democratic princi
ples, old as the party itself, and it
should not be difficult for democrats
to unite on a platform of ibis kind,
but we do not believe it will be hon
est or good policy to ignore the
money question, for the republicans
will not allow our party to remair
silent on that point. The party must
declare itself in favor of a safe and
sound financial system and of a safe
anil permanent currency, or it need
not. go into the fight at all. Noth
ing is more absolutely certain in our
estimation than this. The republic
ans will undoubtedly g<i into the next
campaign with a plain and unequiv
ocal declaration for sound money
and a safe and fixed monetary sys
tem, and for the democrats to under
take to make n fight on a platform
oi dodging and cowardly evasion on
the currency question would mean
defeat from the beginning. It is as
certain as anything can be in polities
that the entire country has made up
its mind on the currency question
and any party which attempts to dis
turb or disorganize our monetary
system is di feated at the begin
ning. Whatever form or language
the leaders of the party may see best
in adopt in dealing with this i|iics
tion, it. must be done in such wny
as will assure the country that our
currency will not lie debased or our
finances disturbed and demoralized.
With all Mr. Hill's shrewdness n
leader, if he thinks democracy can
w'n a battle by dodging the financial!
issue, he is as badly mistaken as
Jones is when he thinks he can unite
the democrats of the country on a
declaration of anti-imperialism.

WOOLENS THAT DEFRAUD.
Arc Mil oil In Evidence in Free Trade
Kit|Cl4iml. Hint Not in I'ruk't
tion America.
Free traders get hard raps some
time right from the home and strong
hold of free trade. It has ever been a
favorite assertion with the opponents
of protect ion that good woolen cloth
cannot lie made in the I'nited State*
because the duty on wool d< prives our
manufacturers of cheap "raw mate
rial" and compels them to use inferior
wool, mixed with cotton, shoddy and
other adulterants. This is a stale and
often refuted falsehood, but it is still
desperately clung to by those who
should know better, whether they do
or not. The fact is that American
woolen goods have come to be known
as the very best of their kind iu the
world, and they have attained this
high degree of excellence under the
fostering care of protection', says the
Troy Times.
On the other hand, there is probably
no country in which the practice of
ad.'ulterating woolen goods is carried
to such an extent as in free trade Eng
land. Exposures of the practice have
repeatedly been made. Some new
revelations along this line are now
agitaiting the British people. The
London Telegraph asks: "Is one ever
sure of getting a woolen garment?"
and it fallows this up with a long
story telling of the deceptions em
ployed in British woolen mills through
the enormous use of such substitutes
as shoddy, mungo, cotton, old stock
ings and rags collected from the popu
lous centers of all Europe. In York
shire, the great wool manufacturing
district of England, and in Scotland
the manufacturers are putting cheap
substitutes for wool into their cloths.
British consumers and medical au
thorities are aroused to the point of
alarm on this subject, so extensive is
the use of adulterants and so scarce
are honest woolen goods. And this in
free trade England, where not a
farthing of duty is collected on the
wool which comes from abroad.
England is in truth tbe originator
of the shoddy which so arouses the
apprehension of our free trade friends.
Shoddy was made and used to an enor
mous extent iu Kngland long before
it was ever thought of here, and when
our own people were yet wearing hon
est homespun clothing made from the
actual wool of the domestic sheep, and
of purely home manufacture in every
stage. American woolens to-day are
the result of the development that
has steadily gone on from the time of
homespun garments, and represent
the inventive genius, taste and! skill
of a progressive people, finding en
couragement under the protective pol
icy. We are making the finest, best
and purest woolen cloths that can lie
produced anywhere, and do not have
to employ the shoddy and oilier adul
terants of free trade England to bold
our marki ts.

It will be noticed that Mr. Bryan
finds fault with the desire attributed
to President Diaz and Finance Min
ister Limantour to change their
financial system to the gold basis.
According to our Nebraska, friend,
Mexico will make a serious mistake
if she comes over to the gold side.
Nobody is injured by the fall in the
price of silver in Mexico except the
importers, he says, and of course
they have no rights which Mr. Bry
an or anybody else is bound to re
spect, says the St. Louis tilobe-Dem
ocrat.
If Mr. Bryan takes a glance over
the list of countries which are now
on the gold basis, lit? will find that
they are very much more numerous
than they were in 1896. All the na
tions of any consequence anywhere in
the world which cling to the discred
ited white metal to-day are Mexico
and China, and China stands a chance
to abandon it in a year or two. Cas
tro's country is getting a good deal
<if abuse on account of its baekwnrd
nes - and primitiveness these days,
but it was wise enough to drop sil
ver several years ago and is now on
the goid basis. So are Brazil, t'liili.

un<l a freight train on the Mononga
liela division <>f tli.* I'ennsyivaia rail
road las't niglit at ("oelirane station,
just above Duqnesne, seven men are
dead, one is dying and iive others in
jured. The dead:
('. K. Stroud, baggagemaster of
Kli/.a beith accoin nioda t ton. Home wood.
<'. M. Moebner. brakeinan of ac
coinmodation, Pittsburg.
John Stewart, passenger, residence
unknown.
Two unknown foreigners killed out
right.
Two unknown foreigners, died on
their way to hospital.
The passenger train in the wreck
was the West Kiizabetih accommoda
tion, which left Pittsburg ait .'i:2o p.
m. It was on time and had a clear
track, according to the signals dis
played. At the siding at Cochrane it
ran into the rear car of an extra
freight which had taken the switch,
but failed to clear the main line.
The officials of the road attribute
the disaster to the failure of Pat
rick Quinn, t.lie rear •brakennan of the
freight, to see that his train had
cleared. Quinn has not been found.
When the passenger train came
along the. caboose of, the freight
train overlapped the main tra-ck
enough to catch the tender of the
passenger engine, which was forced
back upon the combination baggage
and smoking car with terrible force.
The 1?, passengers were jammed
against the rear end of the car into
almost a solid mass. Three of .ue vic
tims were apparently killed outright,
two oif the other four were literally
roasted to death and the two who
died on the way to the hospital were
so badly burned that recognition 13
impossible.
Almost immediately after the im
pact, tire from the stove in the smok
er communicated to the wreckage
and the imprisoned victims were tor
tured beyond description. All of the
victims were badly turned. Conduc
tor Cook was found unconscious un
der the charred body of 15aggagemas
ter Stroud.
Strange to say not a truck except
the tender left the track, the passen
gers in the coaches being thus pro
tected from harm. No one outside of
the smoker was injured.
When the passenger engine struck
the rear end of the last car of the
freight, thft beam of the cowcatcher
knocked the cylinder on the left side
off and then dug into one end of tJie
tank of the tender and shoved i*t from
the trucks. This tank was driven
back through the combination bag
gage and smoker. The tank cleaved
through the shell of the combination
car like a knife, it passed through
between the roof and floor of the
crowded car.
in the front end of the car was a
stove which was shoved back among
the confused jumble. Any fire that
might have been catised by the shock
could easily have been extinguished
in a short time. Rut when the tank
came through it 'brought with it a
15-gallon can of gasoline. This was
ignited by the coals of the stove fire.
There was an explosion and the
wreckage commenced to burn fur
iously.

forth, of St. Joseph, Mich., tells how she
was cured of falling of the womb and
its accompanying pains and misery by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"DEAR MRS. PINKIIAM: Life looks dark indeed when a woman
feels that her strength is fading away and she has no hopes of ever
being restored. Such. was my feeling a few months ago when I waa
advised that my poor health was caused by prolapsus or falling of the
womb. The words sounded like a knell to me, I felt that my sun had
set; but liydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound came to me as
an elixir of mo; it restored the lost forces and built me up until my
good health returned to me. For four months I took the medicine
daily and each dose added health and strength. I am so thankful for
the help I obtained through its use." MRS. FLORENCE DANFORTH,
1007 .Miles Ave., St. Joseph, .Mich.
A medicine that lias restored so many women to health and
can produce proof of the fact must ho regarded with respect. This
is the record of Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which
cannot be equalled by any other medicine the world has ever pro
duced. Here is another case:
"DEAR MRS. PIXKITAM:— For years I was
troubled with falling of the womb, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorrlioea, bearing
ft down jtains, backache, headache, dizzy and
