THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. J. K. WCNK. CDITON 4 PKOPHItTOH. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1S!8. Government expenditures were larger than the reviuue last year, but it took a war to keep down ao old fashioned Republican surplus. Plainly the coming of MeK'inley prosperity has wiped out a great part of the discontent which gave the sil ver agitation its strength at tbe West The Nicaraugua caual should be built and controlled by ibis govern ment. Such is the position taken in the inessuge and backed up by tbe people almost unanimously. "The largest volume of business ever recorded" is mentioned a the messago us a proof of prosperity. Tbat this should come to pass in a year of war is a remarkable circum stance. Montojo's ten war-ships at Manila are referred to by the resident as a "formidable fleet." There has been an effort to disparage those ships, but their armament in some respects was better than Dewey's. The Cubans will notice that the President fully recoguizes thoir right to cbooee tbeir free form of govern ment as soon as the island is thor oughly pacified. If they have any doubt iu this subject the message will remove it. The total number of killed and wounded in both array anil navy in the war with Spain is stated in the message to be 1GG8. No one sup posed at the beginning of hostilities that casualties could be kept down In this extent. Evidently the tarifT wall around this country is uot so high tbat ex ports cannot jump over it. The for eign trade of the United States is now nearly $2,000,000,000 a year and the increase iu the volume of exports was $107,000,000 during tho past e;ghi months. The only material difference be tweeu tbe government of Hawaii and New Mex ico, Arazooa, or Oklahoma, after the bill carrying out the rec ommendations of the Hawaiian com mission has become law, as it is sure to in due lime, will be that in the former territory there will be a prop erty aud ao educational qualification for suffrage. ThE caucus for the nomination of a Republican candidate ' for United States Senator will be held, accord ing to present understanding, on the evening of Jonuary 4, the day after the meeting of the legislature. The first ballot for Seuator will be taken in the two houses of the Legislature separately at 3 o'clock on the after noon of January 17 aud on the fol lowing day both houses will meet in joint convention at noon to compare the vete. If one person bas received a majority in each bouse his election will be declared. If not, and one house bas given a majority for one pers.n and the other for another per eon, a vote will be taken in joint con vention, and the majority of the two branches voting together will deter mine the election. General Garcia, the noted Cu ban patriot, died in Washington Sun day morning. His name will be ever linked with thosa of other patriots who have fought against uuequal odds, for the freedom of his country, and hag had a most active and varied life, much of which has been spent in fighting for the cause of Cub.u lib erty, which he had the Ealisfactiou of seeing accomplished so short a time before his death. He was a man of culture and refinement, of splendid education and came from a distin guished family of Jaiquani, of Santi ago de Cuba province. He was born in Colquin, October 14, 1839, and was tberelore in tbe COih year of his age. General Garcia a as educated iu Havana and in Spain. In 18C4 be was married to Isabel Velez. The distinguished Cavelry Gen eral Joo Wheeler of Alabama, iotro duced a resolution in tbe House of Representatives at Washington, on Monday providing that in "recog nition of the devotion aud bounteous benevoleuce of Miss Helen Miller Gould to the soldiers of the army of the United Siates during the war with Spain, tbe thanks of Congress hereby authorizes and directs tbat a gold medal with appropriate designs be prepared by tbe Director of the Mint, and that said medal be pre seoted to her by the President of the United States at such time and in such manner as be may determine." Th s resolution should pass both booses of Congress without delay and by a unanimous vote. Miss Gould is in every way worthy of this recog oition. Condensed History. Here it is in nutshell from the Chicago Iieeord: War declared by the United States on Spain April 21. Peace protocol signed August 12. Peace commission assembled Octo ber 1. Terms of peace accepted by Spain November 28. Spain relinquishes Cuba without conditions. Spain cedes Porto Rico, tbe Philip pines and Guam. The United Statts gives Spain $20,000,000. Tbe United States promises protec tion to the property of Spaniards. Each country to have equal trade privileges. Each country to settle the claims for damages of its owu citizens grow ing out of the war. The bills which have been intro duced to both House aud Senate for the reorganization of the army do not follow the recommendations of Gt-n. Miles, because it is not believed that a bill carrying as many high otlicers as he recommends could get through Congress. The bills introduced pro vide for a Lieut. Geo , six Maj. Gens, and twelve Brie. Gens. A New York paper says "it must be a film purpose not to dim the lus ter of the w r heroes that is keeping Mr. Diugley from pointing out how tbe result of the election is a vindi cation of the existing tariff law." Mr. Dingley doesu't have to "point out" any benefits that accrued from the tariff law. The people know that protection made prosperity, and Re publican prosperity made Republi can victory certain. Speaker Reed had a very pleas ant conference this week with Presi dent McKinley and arranged for an other to take place as soon as the Speaker has conferred with his Re publican colleagues on the House committee on Rules and the other Republican leaders in the House, and they have agreed upon the legislative program to he followed at this sess ion As boo j as that progrrm has been determined upon the Speaker will submit it to the President for ap proval and amendment. The same harmony that existed at the last sess ion between the executive and legis lative branches of the government is to be continued, so far as it is in the power of the Republicans in the House to continue it. Tbe Senate, on account of its present make-up no party with a majority is neces sarily an uncertain quautity in the legislative program. In his message to Congress Presi dent McKinley has made these rec ommendations: Increase of the teg ular at my to 100,000 men. Increase of the navy by the addition of three battle sbips, three first-class cruisers and many smaller vessels. Tempo rary revival of tbe rank of admiral and vice-admiral. Construction of the Nicaragua canal under Ameri can influence. Holding greenbacks once redeemed in gold, os a fund only to be paid out of the Treasury in ex. change for gold. Retention of war revenue measures for the present. Increased appropriation for Ameriean represantatioo at the Paris exposition and permanent commission to attend lo this country's interests in future international expositions. A well de fined maritime policy, made necessary by our changed relations to Cuba, Porto Rico and other recent posses sions of Spam. Iuternatioual agree ment to protect private property aud ships from seizure in time of war. President McKinley by tho wise omission from his annual message to Congress has greviously disappointed the Democrats. That is why the whole menagerie is snarling. They thought, or had persuaded themselves that they thought, the President would announce a hide-bound policy towards the Philippines in advance of the actual possession of those islands by the United States, hut the Presi deut isu't that kind of a statesman. He doesn't make up his mind upon any subject blindfolded, least of all unon sued an important one as tbe future of 8,000.000 helpless people. He has delivered them from the evils of Spanish rule, and will give them a military government that will he far better than nny government they have ever k own. That is far enough to go for som time to come. He will know more about (he subject before recommending the next step. There are other omissions from the message that aro equally wise, and they are equally as nagging to the Democrats, who have no other hope for future success than tho mistakes tbey ex pect the Republicans to make. Pres ident McKinley possesses the faculty of knowing what not to say as well as what to say. Tbat is one reason bis administration is such a success, The Protect inn of growing Aineri -au industries bas resulted iu making this country tho master of the situa tion. Tho warning that a Protective tariff would kill our foreign market has been proved almost ludicrously absurd bv the marvelous strides of our commerce. The Orient is now nur field, and it is still as exporters, and not as importers, we shall com mand it. It is to be borne in mind that the United States is now selling abroad far more than it is purchas ing. Notwithstanding the relative decrease in imports as compared with exports, the Dingley law receipts are more than holding their own a; against the eturns under previous acts. A law that makes such a show ing is a pretty good one. And that is a reason why the country wants the present tariff let alone. Shoos for gifts.

What is the uso of tnakiog a better ar ticlo than your competitor if you cannot get a bettor price for it? Ans. As there is no difforence in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may bo smaller on a single sale they will be much great er in the aggregate. How can you i et the public to know your make is the best? If both articles are brought prominent ly before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass lodgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the lame sale on Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. Tho people have been using it for years and have lound that it can always be depended up on.
