The Republican party for a good many years bus stood sis the party of business interests. By its advocacy of ■sound money and a protective tariff and by its efforts to increase the in fluence and thereby extend the mar kets of Ihe I'nited States abroad it has given business men frenerally a direct interest in its success, and so far this interest is entirely legitimate and war rants business men not only in voting the Republican ticket, but in contribut ing money to meet campaign expenses, which have necessarily become very heavy. -Buffalo Express. l(Hll,vn.v It II TPM ami MITKITII.

The genuineness and sincerity of the Stone bi ind of harmony were evidenced at the Democratic harmony meeting at' St. l.ouis the other day, when in a pre tended attack on President Roosevelt he masked a savage onslaught on Folk m these words: "What mi age this is we are living in—what an age of spasm and sham! But this sort of ihiug will end—must end. Common sense will as sert itself, and then simple, sincere and manly methods will take the place of spectacular deception, oleaginous hy pocrisy and unctuous pretense. When common sense is once more regnant the hour of Democratic triumph in stiite and nation will have come. Let all of us. therefore, do our best to speed thiit happy day."

Mr. Vanderlip is right in think ing that the great increase in gold pro duction must tend to increase the cost of living, but Secretary Wilson is also right in thinking this year's big crops must tend to reduce the cost of living, and perhaps the two will balance each other.
