The country is as strong against
free trade as it is against free silver.
The Republicans welcome issues.
The Democrats dodge them.
?
No political party has ever triumphed
on a policy of negation.
Mr. Cleveland will not take the
stump. He probably prefers a duckhunt
to a wild-goose chase.
Democrats misread the signs it"
they think the American people favor
a starved army or a crippled
navy.
* =========
. What time they are not slinging
mud at other people Hill, Slieehan &
Co. are trying to scrub it of! their
own records.
Democrats, are discovering that :t
is practically impossible to form a
coalition between the Popocrats and
the Plutocrats.
yw0'K*X Taggart
knows the game well
enough to understand that the Democratic
prospects have already been
thrown into the discard.

. "A Tax Letter," signed "Rcpublf-.. ?
?can.
Farmer," In last week's Free .
Press, first appearing In the Democratic
Times and next in the Inilex, i?
referred to by us because of the fear
that some thoughtless Republican
may be misled by it. Its author says,
he will vote for Cornwell for governor
."and unless Messrs. Fleming, Powell
and Fox come out openly and pledge
themselves to vote to repeal this new
tax law," ho will vote for every Depocratic
candidate for the Legislature.
Now we want to say briefly that his
vote doesn't depend upon what the
three ^Republican legislative candidates
may do or not do. He will vote
for Cornwell and all the Democrats
on his ticket because he is a Democratic
politician and votes no other
TTIt> lottor frnm Jiofinnlnn' 1 ri
end is a misrepresentation of the new
tax laws, as most people know, and
as all the people are fast finding out.
When Republicans, farmers or any
other class, have grievances to1 state
they go to Republican, not Democratic
newspapers. A Republican farmer
nor no other kind *of a Republican
had anything to do with the preparation
of the letter in question. It is a
Democratic production in its entirety.
Democrats secured its publication in
aii instances, and we make this statement
on the highest and best authority.
Eastern Democrats are censuring
Col. Brj-an for not supporting the
Parker ticket more enthusiastically.
Mr. Bryan is giving the Parker ticket
about the same kind of support be received
from the Eastern Democrats:
four and eight years ago.
It is an old saying that every dog
has his day. Mr. Bryan will have to
laugh (up his sleeve) on the Democratic
organizers, when the returns
show that Parker received a worse
defeat than the Nebraskan.
Democrats claim to have helped to
start: the Spanish-American war; yei
they try to find fault with the President
because he believes in being
ready to lick any fellow who will be
satisfied with nothing less.
The New York Herald is practically
in despair over the Democratic situation.
Lt uses italics to deny that it is
"supporting" Parker, and its loading
editorial for Monday affords much
comfort for Republicans.
It is surprising that the Democrats
are not pushing Adlai Stevenson mare
to the front as a spellbinder. He has
a record for surrounding both sides
of a question, now a strong Democratic
need.
Four years ago the Democratic pat ty
had the courage of its mistaken convictions.
This year the party admits
its former errors but has failed to
offer any tangible declaration of in
term on s.
Since that report of Senator
Clark's contribution of $1,000,000 to
the Democratic campaign fund, .several
old Democratic States are insisting
on being placed in the doubtful column.
Judge Parker intimates iliai the <
Panama Canal strip was stolen from
Colombia, yet. lie admits that lie would
keep and improve the stolen good.-', i
Does he not really seem very honest? <
Judge Parker's utterances are said
to have in them the ring of exaited
statesmanship. Whether the bright (
est jewel in that ring is Hill or Gor- ,
man is a matter as yet unsettled. ]
Democrats are clamoring for economy.
Their record, when in power. ,
was one of extravagance in the issue
of bonds to save the Nation's credic ,
in times of profound peace.
If Judge Parker gets together many (
more reformers whose records smell
to heaven, his headquarters may be
investigated by the Health ijcpart- ^
ment. I
Astrologers predict Republican success.
They don't want to lose their
reputations for truthfulness and horse
sense and everything else.
t
A Connecticut centenarian who vox- '
ed for Andrew Jaclcson will vote till '
year for Roosevelt. Some men are
never ton old to learn.
Judge Parker puts it. in effect, that <
the Democrats might have done a lot
of things if the Republicans hail not
done them first. !
It is said that, silence is goldenJudge
Parker is offering his silence as =
evidence of his belief in the gold i
standard. c

Democracy's chances might have ,
been better if the candidate's letter ,
had been sent to the Dead Letter
Office. . j
"Kansas lias $100,000,000 in the d

WHAT WE SHALL VOTE FOR.
Representative F. H, Glllet, of Mas.
sach usetts, in opening the campaign
in that State, emphasized the necessity
of a full Republican vote this
year, not alone because it might bo
needed to elect Roosevelt and a Republican
House of Representatives,
but>jn order to more firmly than ever
entrench the Republican party in
power, with a view to a continuation
of that power for many years to
come.
The thought so emphasized by Representative
("fillet, should be consid
ered by every voter. We shall not
alone elect Mr. Roosevelt and with
him a Republican House next month,
but we shall show to the people of our
own country and to the peopl^ of the
whole world that we believe in the
sort of administration which the United
States 1:as enjoyed now almost
continuously for over forty years.
We shall show to the world that we
maintain most thoroughly our belief
in gootj. sound money: in a protective
tariff; in libera] pensions: in a
most wide and efficient postal service.
not only in our cities but in rural
districts: iu building the great. Pana
ma canai: m iurinenng irrigation;
in public improvements throughout
the entire country: in upbuilding our
great Navy, and in furthering by every
means possible the peace and
progress and continued prosperity of
our own people with its henificent in
iluence upon the Nations of the whole
world.
This, in brief, is what Republicanism
means, and this is what the people
wild vote for next November when
they elect Theodore Roosevelt to succeed
himself and with him a Republican
House of Representatives.
THE REAL VALUE.
The real value feature of the new
assessment law which the Democrats
are now attacking and lying about so
viciously was unanimously recommended
by the Tax Commission in its
report to the governor and cordially
indorsed by those eminent Democratic
members, Henry G. Davis and John
H. Holt. Mr. Holt made an able argument
before the commission in favor
of the justice, honesty and equality
of the real value they carry and
presented a score of reasons why it
should be adopted. Mr. Holt was the
last Democratic candidate for governor,
and came near being called upon
this time. He is a Democratic leader
of recognized ability and his views
cm this question are certainly entitled
to more weight than those of the
swarm of little Democratic school
house orators who are now attacking
and misrepresenting them. Democratic
voters who have decided to support
Mr. Dawson should not be misled
by the buncombe issuing from Demo
cratic sanctums and Democratic spellbinders,
but should remember that
the important features of the new
legislation were heartily supported by
Henry G. Davis and .John H. Holt as
members of the tax commission.
They have never repudiated the views
they expressed two years ago, even
though Mr. Cornwell, of Hampshire,
floes not agree with them and the:-'
hold the same opinions now as they
did then.
The Republican opportunity is now
here to put the Democrats entirely
Dur of business so far as West VI.^iiiia
is concerned. If the State goes
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks after all
the fuss the Democrats are making
fiver Uncle Henry G., they will be so
completely discouraged that they w.J
never make another strenuous fight.
The Republicans certainly see their
luimj ?\j *uiH.iuiau ix UlUlt'll-'
roublesome i'oe. Will tliey arise to
he occasion? It is 1'or them to decide.
>ut wo believe they will not. be found
wanting when the supreme test
koines.
Democratic speeches are good
solidifiers of Republicans. Some people
who might have thought, of voting
"or Uncle Henry for State pride will
<ay perish the thought when they sc-r.
he kind of company ho keeps. Wesr
Virginia Republicans will not care to
rote for Mr. Davis in order to give
encouragement to the arch enemies
o the party and all its principles?

A Pleasant Surprise.
Mrs. J. C. Miller was delightfully
surprised last evening at her home
m Fourth street l>y a large company
>f her friends and neighbors calling
n a body and bringing with them
okens of their cordial esteem, yeserday
being the anniversary of Mrs.
diller's birth. Tlie impromptu hosess,
on this occasion, having been
nvay from home for several days,
he party came as a complete surtrise
to her, but was none the less enoyable
on that account. Games occu>ied
the greater part of the evening,
tnd another surprise awaited them all
vhen Mr. Miller returned from a foriging
expedition and served delicious
efreshments to the crowd.
EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES.
A most significant .fact is made apparent.
by the- quarterly reports of
many of our railroads. They tell us
in many inst ances "of an increase in
operating expenses, and we find that
a very large share of this increase is
<!ne to the earnings of its employes.
For instance: The St. Paul shows
that for the last six months its pay
roil for labor directly employed increased
$738,000. The Illinois Central
shows- that the increase in wages
paid to Its employes during the last
year amounted to 52,400,495. These
are but Instances, which could be
multiplied indefinitely; and in this
connection it may not be contended
so much that the rate of wages has
increased by a large percentage, tout
the claim is made that a large number
of people are being employed
constantly and for a fuller number
of hours than ever before in our country.
It is true that many men in
certain cities of our "Union are out of
work today?most of them, however,
voluntarily?and yet it is also true
that, generally speaking, our laboring
classes throughout the entire country
in every State of the Union were
never so fully employed as they are
in these autumn days of 1904. It is
this constant employment, "this not
being laid off a week, a month, and
for all time., as was the case under
Grover Cleveland and free trade from
1893 to 1S97, which gives our work
ing classes their great purchasing
power: which gives them- the ability
to buy not only the necessaries of life
.in full measure, but the comforts,
conveniences and luxuries, which
really is tiie surplus enjoyed by the
wife anil children, who reap the benefit
of tin; laborer's reward. Not only
this, but our hanks, our loau and trust
companies are really bulging with the
savings of the frugal, who are able
to lay aside the much-desired penny
and dollar for the rainy day that is
hound -to come at some period for all
of us.
MR. GORMAN NOT A PROPHET.
We thought all along that Uncle
Henry G. was "our'n," but Mr. Gorman
says he is a ttroduct of -Maryland,
according to the t Baltimore
American. In commenting on the
Democratic meeting there, the American
says:
Mr. Gorman was in good voice, and
spoke with more earnestness than is
usually displayed by him. It had
been expected that he would tell the
Democrats of Maryland that Parker
and Davis would surely be elected,
and. while he said he believed tbey
woukl be elected, at the same time he
said he was not a prophet, and did not
possess more information as to the
result than any man in the audience.
Mr. Gorman spolce for about ten
minutes, and then introduced Mr.
Davis as a ''product of Maryland and
as a man. who had been honored by
his party. His life's work is the best
testimony of his worth. All admire
him who know him: all love him who
are near him. .Maryland is proud to
contribute one of her sons to lead
in a great cause." Mr. Davis was
well greeted. He plainly demonstrated
that while an octogenarian, he is
a novice in public speaking, for he
halted two or three times, and his
words had some hesfcitancy in leaving
his lips. He "created laughter
when he said that if Judge Parker
should be elected he would not invite
Booker Washington to the White
House. At the conclusion of his address
Air. Davis acknowledged that
he was no public speaker. He added
that he merely appeared in order
that the audience might see that he
is not too old to be Vice President.
WHY PARKER IS SILENT.
Undoubtedly the real reason why
Parker lias resolved to keep off the
stump is his discovery that his speeches
would bo more apt ro harm than to
help fiixn. He is even more of a failure
as a talker than lie is as a writer.
His speech of acceptance at. Esopus
was vague and dull to the last "degree.
His style of discourse lacks the sparkle,
the concentration, the life that
moes audiences. The things that he
\vould say could be said just as
effectively by the average man on the
street. If he were not a candidate,
no National committee would think of
employing him as a spellbinder. No
audience would listen to him. Pro!)
ably he does not look for any such
i riumphs as McKinley's home speech
es won. for McKinley was a good
talker, and he had something to say
th.at the public wanted to hear. But.
-McKinley would have been elected
| just the same if he had made a
speech-making tour. He stood for a
cause tliat appealed to large major- ,
ity of h iscountrymen and for a party
which- had then and has now the confidence
of the great mass of Ameri|
cans. In each of these vital particulars
Parker's side is fatally defective ,
in 190-1. as it was in 1900 and 1S9G.?

the city last night, the guest of his
brother, W. S. Pitzer. The K. of P.

he left here for that city this morning.
