among tho business Interests of our

out confidence, capital will not engage

without confidences the employment af
fotded to labor will be irregular and
uncertain, industries will bo operated
on tile minimum basis, to meet only
tho urgent current necessities of tiade,
and every person not In receipt of a
fixed income will suffer from the gen

f B-sylli: DECLARATION of prin-
clples adopted yesterday In
JL Philadelphia contains noth
ing new. The Republican
partj's recoid of substantial achieve
ments is the re.il pl.Ufotm of tho on
suing campaign; the written instru
ment simply suggebts tho general pol
icy. Tin oo main plllais uphold mod
ern Republicanism: 1'rotectlon, sound
money and epantl"n. Protection has
aided the development of our n.ituial
resources until today the United States
Is the foiumost Industrial nation on
earth, not only commanding an un
llvaled home maiket but rapidly ac
quiring dominance of the foreign mai
kets. Tho circumstance noted in tho
platform that under three years of Mc
Klnley our excess of exports over Im
ports wns neatly four times tho
total excess during tho piccedlng 107
years of the republic's existence con
stitutes at onco an Irrefragable Indi
cation of the jnoteetlve policy and an
unmistakable explanation of the ex
pansion Issue. Expansion is tho coi
rollaty of ptotection. It Is effect
wedded to cause. A homo develop
ment so man clous simply compelled
the widening of the elide. Iiy piovl
dentlal coincidence the Hpanhh-Ameil-can
war happened nt tho psychological
moment when expanding Amei lean en
ergy was beginning to need new fields
of oppoitunity and new fulerums of
conimeieial achievement. Rut had
there been no rtp.inKh-Atneilo.iu wat,
expansion could not hao long been
delayed.
Protection and sound money aio
facts alieady fully cxpietsed In the
forms of sovereign law. Domouacy
could undo neither If it would; w
doubt that It would If It could. In ISM
it tiled the expeilmcnt of undoing pro
tection. Instantly a business convul
sion swept aeioss the countiy eairy
ing th'o nation to the vet go of bank
ruptcy, forcing tho silo of government
bonds to pay the operating expenses of
government, and compelling a million
Ainoilcan woikingmen whose employ
ment it took away to subsist on char
ity and fice soup. That ftlghtful ex
pet lence sent Uiover Cleveland out of
office so thoroughly dlnudltcd that
even his own party Joined in the out
cty against him, and tinning to Riyan
began to advocate tho now hetesy of
sixteen to one. Hut the nation had had
its fill of Democratic eNpeilmentlng. V
shelved fice silvei alongside fiee tiade
and wheio is the Incentive for again
taking it up? The gold stundiul is
Hi inly established b law. Under Its
opeiatinn piospoilty has been cspcil
enced beond tho dreams even of Its
advocates; the pet capita of money cii
culatlon is the latgest it has ovot been,
the volume of business exceeds all
pieccdents and continuously lnei eases,
and novei befoio was thcio so mani
fest a dispensation of contentment to
those capable of appi eclating material
blessings.
Under these eltcunistances, It is pic
cmlnently piopor that tho now and In
tiicato pioblems of expansion, which
have unexpectedly ntlsen in the com so
of successful Republican national ad
ministration, should be entrusted for
solution to tho hands which hive
solved these other pioblems so well.

document appears in the
Washington Star in tho fotm
of n forecast of the com
merce of tho United States for the
fiscal year to end one week from Sat
in da. It Is a dispassionate array of
olllclal figures, but It tells, between tho
lines, of tho vvondeiful economic suc
cess of Republican policies and for this
icason It has live Interest for every
oter.
Tho commerce of the United States
in the fiscal year which ends this
month will, says tho Star, by far ex
ceed that of any preceding jcar; Its
exports will suipass those of any
cailler year by 111010 than $l)0,000,00fl,
nnd its exports of lnanufactuies will
exceed those of any preceding jear by
moie than $75,000,000. Its Imports,
owing to the demands of the manufae
tuiuiH of the country for foreign raw
mateilal for use In their lndustiIo,
will also be large. Raw silk, unmnnu
factuied fibeis, ciudo rubber, hides and
skins, pig tin for use in tin plate es
tablishments, cabinet woods and th
finer gt.ides of cotton and tho toaiser
Ei ados of wool all show a latge lr
uensc as eompaied with pieccdlng
jcais. Tho value of unmanufactured
silk imported will bo neatly 50 per cent,
in excess of that of the preceding year
and 111010 than double that of tho Us
ed ear 1S97. Raw cotton shows an
inc'iease in quantity of 50 pet cent, ovei
1899, unmanufactured fibers an incieaso
of L'5 per cent, over 1S99 and 100 per
cent, over ls9S, and hides and skins
show an inciease of 25 per cent, over
1SS9 and 00 per cent, over 1S9S.
It Is on the expott side, however,
that tho ear makes its gteatest 10c-
01 d. The total expoits for the eleven
months of tho jcar amount to $1,2S8,
214, Ml, and should the Juno figures
pi ove as huge as those of May, which
ate Just received, it would bring1 the
total up to SI. 100,000,000, or $173,000,000
gi enter than the- banner yeai 1S99. As
to tho details of this wonderful year,
eveiy class of aitlclo shows an in
ciease. Manufnc tutes, as nlicady in
dicated, will show nn inciease of more
than $75,000,000; pioducts of agiicultuie
will show an Inciease of nc.ulv $51,
tiOO.OOO; pioducts of tho mine nn in
cieaso of neatly $10,000,000; those of
tho forest nbout an equal sum; fish
eiles ate $.',000,000 linger than last
jcar, and the miscellaneous class
shows a maiked Inciease. P10' tbly
the latgest Inciease Is In manu' tines
of Item and steel, though cotton will
show a consicleiable Insrcasc owing to
the maiked advance la price. Neatly
all grades of manufactures of Iron and
steel show an advance. Steel rails In
the ten months ending with Apiil, 1900,
lnci eased fiom four and a half million
to six and a half million dollais; stiue-
tuial Iron and steel fiom $1,350,006 In
the ten months ending Apt 11, 1S99, to
$:,07C,000, wlie. fiom 109,000,000 pounds
to 19S,000,000 pounds, tho Incieaso in
aluo being fiom $3,000,000 to $1,951,000,
the advance in pi Ice being much
greater than that In quantity, and this
Is Hue In nenrly all giades of iron and
steel exports. Rulldeis' haidware In
ei cased fiom $0,332,000 to $7,SSS,000;
tallwny engines fiom $3,79S,000 to $4,
$05,000; who nails, despite the latgo In
crease in pi Ice, inoie than doubled In
quantity of their export, the total
number of pounds In the ten months
ending with April, 1900, being 77,592,000,
ngalnst 37,338,000 a year entller. Tho
total expoits of manufactures of Iron
and Hteel will bo about $120,000,000, or
more than 20 per cent. In excess of last
year, despite the frequently expressed
fear that tho advance In pi ices would
causa a reduction In exports. Other
Unci of manufactuio show n largo ad
vance. Leather and Its manufactures
bhow an lncruase from $19,000,000 to
neaily $2S,000,000 during tho potiod
under consideration, nnd mineral oils
an increase fiom $10,000,0.00 to $50,000,
000, though this Increase Is chiefly duo
to tho advance In price, tho aunntity
exported In the ten months ending
with Apiil, 1S99, being 650,000,000 gal
Ions, nnd that for the ten months end

The Views of a Scholar.
IN HIS baccalaureate address to
tho graduating class of the Unl
vcisitv of Michigan, President
Angell piesented some thoughts
concerning the uppeimost political
topic of the day which arc worthy of
widespread consideration. They show
him to bo nn educator whose bent of
mind Is practical tathcr than theo
retical. Ho said:
"The annexation of territory In both
the Atlantic and tho Pacific, whether
it Is approved or not, has unquestion
ably impressed tho European and
Asiatic nations with the conviction that
we arc to be reckoned with In the solu
tion of some pioblems with which we
have not heiotofote concerned our
selves. The present situation is a
prophecy that we shall not, and nn
assurance that we cannot, go back to
our old comparative seclusion. Should
wo endeavor at onco to chnnge our
policy, should we Immediately leave
Cuba to herself and try to drop the
Philippines, we must keep Potto Rico
and the Hawaiian islands, and we must
continue to exert an Influence hitherto
unknown both In Cuba and the Phil
ippines. Whatever disposition is made
ot China, wo must have freedom of
access to her trade, which wo have
never befoio enioyed, and must direct
ly or Indliectly wield a great influence
over her people In respect to trade, to
education and to religion. Wo Indulge
In no empty thetorlc or unmeaning
ilguic of speech when wo say that with
or without the isthmian canal wo must
be a gieat Pacific power; Japan, Korea
and Polynesia must have closer and
closer relations with us. Whatever
land In Asia or America is washed by
tho waves of the great sea cannot bo
secluded fiom tho commercial and
naval power which has fully 5,000 miles
of Pacific coastline without counting
the shoiea of tho Philippines and of
our cential outpost Hawaii.
"As to our nearness to Europe, the
Atlantic has ceased to bo tho dlsso
ciabllc niaio, but rather a bond be
tween us. Amei leans tlong tho Euro
pean unlveisltles, capitals, watering
places and scenes of historic Interest.
The volume of trade between tho two
continents is rapidly aw oiling. How
ever ill inly wo resolve to dwell apart
politically from all entangling alliances,
we are intellectually sitting at tho fire
side of tho family of nations in friendly
conveise.- Tne shuttles of thought are
continually shooting forvvaid and. back
acios-5 the sea and weaving the web
which binds us to all the gieat nations
of Euiope. I would appeal to you to
allow your activity to bo dominated
by an unselfish spliit and your hopes
for your own success to catry with
them our desire for the good of all.
Thus It is that you can do your part
in making our national inciease of
sttength and prosperity conduce to our
national growth In purity and eleva
tion of ehaiacter. It Is the chaiacter
of tho Individuals that makes the char
acter of tho nation."
What a contrast between these
broad-minded views and tho impiac
tlcable ravings of tho antl-impeiiallst
fc-ehool!
Scientists have announced that thcio
are spots on tho sun, Tho excessive
stillness in the tninp of the local Dem

PAR AS the crowd Is concerned

seem to care for anvbody else. Ho Is
almost the only topic of conversation.

every delegate. Ho meets them all
with a gleam of his teeth nnd a grasp
of tho hand that makes them think
ho has been anxiously expecting their
nt rival. In return, everybody tolls him
thnt ho is tho foreordained candidate
for vice-president nnd thnt nothing
can prevent his nomination. Every
tlmo he nppenra In tho corridor some
body proposes three cheers for
"Teddy." Nobody else Is cheered, not
even President McKlnley, whoso name
Is seldom mentioned. You can Imagine
how difficult it Is for a human being
like Roosevelt full of blood and vigor
nnd nervous energy; pioud of his past,
ambitious of his future to keep hU
feet on tho ground under such condi
tions. Rack of the hurrah ate 11 few
cool-headed friends w ho arc trying to
keep him out of the convention be
cause thev feel that it would not bo
to his advantage to be vice-president,
lie is now In the line of promotion. Ho
was to bo governor again, then senator,
then piesident, nnd they fear a tetm as
vice-president will be fatal to his fu
ture advancement. Ho thinks so, too.
Saturday night when I asked him
the dltect question whether he would
accept the vice-presidency he nnswered
with emphnsta and a gesture with his
clenched fist: "Under no clicum
stances. It is impossible. It Is too
mtiuh to ask of me to sacrifice my en
tire careei." Today when I repeated
tho question ho answered: "What do
you think I ought to do?" Then he re
lated n little of what people had told
him; that ho was tho only man who
could cairy Colorado and all the
mountain states and so on. Ho said Mr.
Burton of Kansas had assured him
that his name would bo woith from
5,000 to 10,000 votes to tho ticket in
that state; others had said the same
about Nebraska. Representative Over
sticet had declared that he could poll
more votes In Indiana than anybody
except Senator Kill banks, and ho was
healing similar words fiom oveiy man
who called at his rooms. "My near
est nnd oldest friends," lie said, "with
one or two exceptions, tell mo I must
not yield. Everybody else tells me that
I'll hao to. It's a tremendous honor,
but a tcnlblo sacilflee."

Gov. Roosevelt's statement asking
his friends not to vote for him, was
submitted to Mr. Hntuui befoio It was
furnished to tho newspapers, and wis
the result of a conference in which
Mr. Roosevelt was represented by two
personal fi lends and members of his
kitchen cabinet at Albany Finnk S.
Wltherbe and State Senator Lispen
ard Stevvirt, of New York. Tho other
gentleman present wcie Cornelius N.
Rliss, H'-nry C. Payne, Senator Allison,
Sena'or Lodge and Senator Rurrovvs
and one or two more. These gentle
men discussed the situation with Mr.
llannn until a Into hour without de
ciding to suppott any particular can
didate. DolIIver and Long were the
only men under discussion.
"I accept Governor Roosevelt's
squnro and manlv statement in good
faith," said Mr. Raima, "and tho con
vention should select some other can
didate for vlce-piesldent. I have no
personal choice. I am not for any par
ticular person. I am for the strongest
man, whoever he may be. Some think
that Mr. DolIIver would be mcuo ac
ceptable to tho people; othei.s m gue
that Secretaiy Long, being a member
of tho administration, would be the
stionger candidate. That icmalns for
the convention to decide. There Is 1
pel feet understanding between Gover
nor Roosevelt and tin self. I appie
dato his situation, lie wants to bo
left out this time, and has asked his
fi lends to nominate some 0110 else for
reasons which they undetstnnd. I
think ho ought not to bo pressed any
fuithor.
"No, I have not communicated with
the president. I have not exchanged
a woid with him by letter or toleginph
or tdephouo since I left Washington,
and I don't want him to comnumiento
with 1110. Ho has given me no distinc
tions: ho has not expiessed 11 prefer
ence for anvbody, nnd I do not think he
will oxpiess one. Every one of the
eligibles mentioned would be accept
able to him Roosevelt, Long, DolIIver,
Scott or any of them."
Roosevelt and Haniia have been in
consultation twice today and seem to
undei stand each other. Five weeks or
six weeks ago, when Roosevelt was
in Washington, he discussed the sub
ject ftcely with tho piesident, an 1
the latter agreed that It might bo a
sacrifice of his political ambition if he
were nominated for vice-president now.
Rut there Is no opposition to him nt
tho white house nor nt the lliuina
headquarters.
There is no wire to the white house.
Tor the fit st tlmo In many years tho
candidate for president Is not In con
stant communication with his repre
sentatives nt the convention. Mr.
Hiinna receives many letters and notes
from the public genetnlly, but no tele
grams from Washington. No message
from tho president lias 1 cached hltn
since he camo here, unless Chatles
Emory Smith brought 0110 on Satur
day. It was reported atotind one of
the hotels this morning that Mr.
Hanna had been talking with the
white house over the long-distance
telephone, but ho says It is not true.
He wants to havo a talk with his chief
some time today or tomorrow and glvo
him a correct Idea of the situation,
but thus far the president has had to
depend enthely upon the piess dis
patches for his Information, and has
given neither Instructions nor advice.

JUSTICE IN LACKAWANNA.
1'rom the Wilkes thrrc Record.
List Siturday the Judges of Lackawanni coun

cilled iittcntion to the remarkable change that
ha I liken phce, and commended the jurors on
the uniform correctness of their verdicts. As If
to be in lunnonj with the reform spirit, the
Judges Imposed severe sentence in every cae
that ileriiindeil severity. During the previous
week verdicts of arqulttal were the rule, regard
less of the eldence. The exact reverse was the
rule the following week, and the attornejs rep
resenting defendants became so alarmed that they
liistened to a1 continuances.

A little eli.tincp 1'fjond lies the vast empire

States, with its boasted love of liberty and hatred
of oppression, bo less forward than any other
power in demanding its rights on behalf ot its
outraged seibjccls? It cannot be. If needs be,
let more ships be built and a run furnl.hed for
the men who would be only too willing tu plant

It is but right tint the do S3. Her day of In
ternational inactivity It passed, and now the time
Is conio when nho must take her proper place

around tho globe'. Her opportunity hat come,
let her sclro It, and lit her have her Ju.t share
In that land which It about to be opened up to

A wholesale paper dealer in New York City relates tint liis first expe.
ilcncc with Ripans Tabules becan iS months aeo,
not recall a time when lie ve as not trouhleel with constipation
gave more than temporary relief ; but, since taking
Nothing
Ripans Tabules
nobody has had more perfect digestive organs than he. The bowels
perform their functions with regularity; there is no distress after eating,
no headache, no heartburn, no eiiziiniss nothing of a dvpeptic nature.
The same gentleman also relates that "if lie occasiomlly stajs a little too
late at the club and meets convivial companions, a Tabule taken befoio
going to bed wards off every unpleasant after effect."
