The Kansas Cily Journal accurate
ly guages the situation in saying:
The War Department will never suc

Gen. Shafter remarks that with
no more than 13,000 men on the
fighting line he capturad 27,000 pris
oners. Nevertheless, Democratic pa
pers pronounce Shafter a failure and
his campaign, an awful example of
neglect and incompetency.
The Dingley law was not framed
with a view to furnishing enough rev
enues to conduct, within two years
from the time of its passage, a war
which will come directly in the
neighborhood of $300,000,000. The
law has thus far accomplished all it
was expected to accomplish and more.
Up to the beginning of the war there
was an increase in the receipts for
each month of its operation, and it is
not doubted that its record will be
similarly gratifying after the return
to normal conditions following the
war.
When the bill provided (or a
government appropriation for the
Word' Fair at Chicago came up lor
action in congress, Col. Stone, then a
member uf that body, offered an
amendment providing that the ap
propriation should only be paid on
condition that the directors agree to
close the gates on Sundiy. Tiie prop
osition was bitterly fought by some
members, but he won out, receiving
the thanks of thousands of church go
ing people, not only in Pennsylvania
but elsewhere for his stand on this
subject. He is characterized by some
-as "the champion of the American
Sabbath."
The Philadelphia Press ells the
attention of Democratic newspapers
which have been screamiog abou'
great Democratic gains in Vermont
to the even greater Democratic losses
in Arkansas. Comparing the vote of
18J8 with that of 1894 in these two
states, we find a loss of 21 per cent,
io the Republican plurality in Ver
mont, as against a loss of 27 per rent,
in the Democratic plurality in Ar
kansas. In other words, Arkanus
gives 13,000 less plurality io 1898
than in 1894, and Vermont 6,500 less
Republican plurality iu 1898 than
1894. With these figures before tbera
our Democratic friends will probably
agree to say nothing about Vermont,
if the Republicans will keep quiet
about Arkansas.
The va ie of American manufac
tures sold abroad last year was 8288,-
871,449, an increase of 100 per cent
over the figures for 1888. Our grip
on foreign markets has been consider
ably strengthened since the figures
for this year were compiled. Our
American policy of Protection has
been denounced as selfish. It is
oo more selfinb than the British
policy of Free-Trade. It is no more
selfish, indeed, than will be the na
tional policy of unhampered world
trade toward which we are advancing
with assured and rapid pace. We r&
stricted trade to build up a highly
developed and complex national in
dustry, the secret of national life and
growth now as highly developed mil
itary organization once was. This is
done nod nothing but our own folly
i'o undo it.
Ellin's Reply to Wanamaker.
The interview rocently given out by
State Chairman John P. Elkin in reply to
the charges of John Wanamaker is a com
plete auswer to the extravagant frolhings
of the great Philadelphia merchant. Mr,
Elkins reminds Mr. Wanamaker of the
fate of all those great and good men who
become too virtuous to remain in the
party which has houored them, in the
following language :
'.'The sands shift and change about the
bases of the pyramids, but to those
mighty structures themselves, founded
upon the rook and standing foursquare
to every wind that blows, abide steadfast
and everlasting. The Republican paity
will survive, full of useful life and undi
minished vigor, for many years after
Mr. Wanamakoa and I and all of us are
numbered among the men who are for
gotten. With its heroio history and its
promising future, it stands for great
principles and policies much more im
portant than the ambitions, and disap
pointments of any individuals in it, how
ever eminent. This is the lesson of his
tory. No oue did more distinguished
service in the building of it than Horace
Greoly, yet when that great man was de
luded into casting his lot with ita ene
mies, the Republican party lived on and
Horace Greely died of a broken heart.
No Pennsylvaniai! was more highly and
deservedly honored in his party than our
great war Governor, Andrew G. Curtin,
but when he raised his voice iu opposi
tion to it his great publio career closed
and the party continued to add victory to
vieteryand strength to strength. The
Republican party survived eight years of
Cleveland and eight years of Pattison.
I have no doubt it will survive even Mr.
YVanamaker's sesessiou with unbrokeu
heart and vigor unimpaired."
Mr. Wanamaker's attitude is sure to
jlace him in the same position. Mr. El
kin continues:
"One of the complaints made by Mr.
Wanamaker is that the taxpayers of the
State are overburdened by reason of the
expenses of the State administration and
the cost of supporting our ponal, eloe
mosynary and charitable institutions,
This charge is in keeping with others
made by him. It is lacking in every es
seutial element or truth. The fact is that
the great mass of taxpayeas of the State
do not contribute a farthing in the shape
of State taxation. The State revenues are
raised mainly by the taxation of corpor
ations, collateral and direct inheritances,
the license fees, fees of otlices aud bonus
es on charters. Real estate has not paid
State taxes since 18fiti. Iu passing judg
ment on this questian it might not be
amiss to recall the fact that Mr. Wana
maker pays less tax iu proportion to the
amount of money i a vest 3d aud the vol
ume of business transacted than any oth
er citizen within the confines of this
broad Commonwealth. Our taxpayers
may not know, but it is currently report
ed and generally believed that he trans
acts a business each year of from f 12,000,
009 to 15,000,000 ; that he has invested in
the goods, wares and merchandise in
which ho traffics from $3,000,000 tofo.000,
000. On the great volume of business
transacted by him and on the large in
vestment he has iu merchandise, he only
pays to the support of the State govern
ment the mere pittance of $1,000 auuual
ly. On these goods, wares and merchan
dise he pays no muniucipal, local or State
tax except the $1,000 above mentioned. It
is true he pays local taxes upon his real
estate, but that is entirely outside of the
investment in his business proper. If
Mr. Wanamaker had the $5,000,000 which
be is now supposed to have invested in
bis stores, invested in farms and other
real estate, he would pay annually from
$75,000 to $125,000 iu taxes more than he
does at present.
"Mr. Wanamaker also complains about
corporate influences in political affairs
and attempts to array the people against
the corporations because their rights and
privileges are oppressive He forgets
that the corporations under Republican
laws nre made to bear nearly all the bur
dens of State taxation and make large
contributions to the relief of local taxa
tion through appropriations made to the
common schools and other like purposes.
"Uuner the financial system which has
been inaugurated and built up during
the last twenty years, and for which the
Republican party is responsible, 06 of the
67 counties in the state receive more
money from the State than is paid in by
them. It has been the policy of the Re
publican party to provide a system of
State taxation that places the burdens of
the State upon the corporations and other
wealthy and favored institutions. In
this way a fund is raised that is distrib
uted to the connties in the shape of ap
propriations to the coiv.nion schools and
in payments of the salaries of Judges,
county superintendents, and for other
like purposes.
"It will be demonstrated to the people
of Pennsylvania and of the United States
during the present campaign that our
State during the last quarter of a century
has been the most happily governed
Stale in the Union ; that her advance in
wealth, population and general prosper
ity has beon phenominal. During that
time the State has never lost a dollar by
reason of the default or dishonesty of any
of her State officials. Such, indeed, seems
to have been the opinion of Mr. Wana
maker himself until very recently, for it
is only within the last year that he has
intimated anything to the contrary. Of
course, we have been subjected to the
criticism which is inseparable from the
conduct of public affairs whose control is
disputed by enemies of the party and
persons having disappointed ambitions,
When an army breaks camp to march to
battle vultures gather over tiie camp
fires, and there is always some belated
dog to bark at evory triumphal process
ion. "The stiictures made by Mr. Wana
maker on the last election of a United
States Senator, it seems to mo, come with
bad grace from a defeated candidate, t nd
explain the sour feeling eminallng from
that sourse ever since. I was not person
ally familiar with the details of that cam
paign, but from rvlinblo information in
my possession, I am surprised that Mr.
Wanamaker should mako use of the fol
lowing language : 'The whole business
of electing a United States Senator was
an arithmetical problem and a check
book.' Mr. Wanamaker's managers un
doubtedly impressed him, more in thoir
own than in his inleaests, with that the
ory, and he no doubt speaks from his
personal knowledge and experience."
After replying to several other of the
"astounding revelaMons" made by Mr.
Wanamaker, Mr. Elkiu concludes:
"I shall not euter into any competition
with Mr. Wanamaker iu defaming the
State, of which I am proud to be a citizen,
or besmearing the good name of its peo
ple in the eyes of the country. I prefer
rather to exalt and glorify it within all
proper bounds of language. God has
blessed its bills and valleys with match
less resources, above aud under ground,
far beyond Golcond.i and the Klondike,
and the gonius and industry of its peo
ple have developed it into an imperial
domain, f-prefer to look at it with eyes
unjaundicod, by any disappointed ambi
tion, and to think of it as it is, the home
of education and Integrity, morality and
religion, rather thau to proclaim it as a
breeding ground of iniquity, whose peo
ple chose habitual criminals as their rep
resentatives to enact their laws and ad
minister their public affairs."
For the Betterment of Labor.
Investigation of 2,229 establish
ments for March, 1895, seven months
after the Wilson law had gone ioto
ellVi't, aud of the same establishments
for March, 1898, e-'ven months afer
the Dingley law went into force,
shows an increase ot 31 per cent, id
the amount o labor employed aud an
increase of 44 per cent, in the amount
of rt-age paid. This rate of improve
ment will be surprising to some, even
to those who are fully aware that the
country has emerged from depression
into prosperity. Yet the establish
ments chosen for these returns must
be accepted as absolute pi oof of con
ditions.
It is estimated that there a-e about
10.000,000 hands engaged io manu
facturing, mining, quarrying, trade
aud transportation. The aversge
wages, all classes taken iuto consider
ation, was 450 per year in 1882, was
reduced to $415 in 1894 and has
beeu advanced to $453 in 1898.
The amount paid out in waes for
1898 will therefore be, in r und num
bers, $380,000,000 more than the to
tal paid out io 1895 under the Wil
son law. Tbia increase in wages,
distributed among those most iu
need of it, must have an incalculable
effect upon the condition of the coun
try. No wond. r that the wave of
prosperity had such a momentum
that not even the war could check it.

Taking everything ioto considera

ness of the United States of America.

a case of rush and rush night and day to

The rustic goes into a hotel and inquires
for the other fellow,saying that he loaned
him $50 a few days ago and was to meet
him at the hotel and get it back. The
landlord laughs and plainly states that
the fellow who borrowed the $30 is a
swindler and will not turn up. The rus
tic is confident that ho will get his money
back and bets the landlord $25 Io that ef
fect. In a short time a well dressed man
calls for the other fellow, pays him $30

15 cents American. Notwithstanding
this low charge, clothes and the like have
gone up in price, although I ordered a
