Was he not speaking of a president who, in a hundred speeches, has talked of the 'craven' and the weakling and the coward who babbles of pefue,' who hus 'preached the Just man armed' as his dearest gospel, who would have a great army, although, ashe said, we do not need It In the least for police purposes at home, but because we need to use It abroad; who, three years before our marauding venture at Panama, declared that we must build the isthmian canal and must grasp the points 'of vantage, meaning that we must violate the territory of another nation; who has talked In season and out of season of the cant about liberty and the consent of the governed, who, speaking as the chief magistrate of a republic of law and order and peace, which In Its men and resources U the most powerful of nations, declared that its maxim should be, Speak softly and carry a big stick, and who haa of late In . plain term threatened our neighbors st the South that unless In their relations not with the United States hut with others, for whom we are called upon to act they acted With decency In industrial and political matters, unless they kept order and paid their obligation,' unless they governed themselves well and were prosperous and orderly,' they might expect our forcible Intervention? Where Is the parallel for utterances like these by the ruler of a great country since Moscow and Waterloo brought to an end the Insolent addresses of the first Napoleon to the monarchs of Europe and the terrified envoys at Ms court?" ...... , : 4 IS THIS PROSPERITY? The slogan of the Republican party la prosperity Prosperity with a big P. The claim Is set up by them that the country la only prosperous under Republican administration of governmental affairs. That all the dinner palls are not full, however, after eight years of Republican rule, Is made evident In an article published recently In the New York World. A lengthy statistical article of very rerent' publication shows that New York city's free lodging house hus entertained 14 per cent more unfortunates this year than during a corresponding period of last year. From January 1st to July 31st, 1904, the house has entertained 41,205 derelicts, und fed them, thereby breaking the record of its entire existence extending over a period of more than seven years. The manager of the institution is quoted by the World as saying: A our of are men of middle age, who are able to work; men guests majority who want work, but can't get It. We hare comparatively few old men, and. only about 5 per cent of those who come here are women." Neir York la not alone In the entertainment of an army of. unemployed and helpless derelicts. The same conditions aparently exist In all the congested centers of the country. A special telegram from Pittsburg, the home of one of the most gigantic trusts, says that "within the past five years under the trust regime, the cost of living for the workmen In the Pittsburg district tins been Increased 45 per cent The price of his food has been Increased that much, and his rent almost as much, while the cost of clothing has been raised to an alarming extent. is this something to 'stand pat' on? f IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CLEAN?

One of the thlnga It does Is to raise the price of every ar tide of manufacture sold In America. Another of the thlnga it does is to depress the price of the- wages of labor, whether these wages be paid directly for dally services or Indirectly for the products of labor.' In general, it may be said that th coat of living the price of the necessaries of life was 31 per cent greater in 1900 than in 1897, and Is 43 per cent greater now than in 1897. It la true that within the last few years wages in some of the trades have been Increased; but within the tlaat year. In many Important lines of 'industry, there has been a very general reduction of wages, accompanied by a general nad great advance In the necessities of life. Dun's review of the business situation for March, 1904, also Brad-street- s', state that the general level of prices Is now at the highest average for more than twenty years pasL Taking 350 leading commodities at wholesale prices.

Discussing an article from the pen of President Roosevelt's Intimate friend William Allen White, In McClure's, on Roosevelt and the Postal Frauds, the New York Times, In its issue of August 28th, quotes therefrom the statement that congressmen und senators went storming the White House In behalf of Machen and Green. Commenting upon this particular statement of fact the Times very pointedly remarks: We do not see where, except at the White House, It was learned that congressmen and senators came storming there In behalf of one boodler, or that the two senators from New York and every prominent Republican In the state begged for mercy, and then threatened President Roosevelt' for allowing the Indictment of another. We should like to know what Senator Platt, Senator Depcw, and Chairman Odell have to say to such a degrading accusation, made with the Inevitable implication of authority from he President himself. If this Is a correct picture of the demoralisation of the Republicans In high places, would It not he well to change the party in iiower, and to place In the White House a president to whom the senators and congressmen of that party would not venture to address either supplications or threats In behalf of public thieves? ttSItStSMSStS as saying In a recent interview, all that the Democrats can aay against the president Is that he la a live man. I believe the country wants that kind of a man. Mr. Inox haa evidently not heard during his Euro pean tour of the great change that has taken place in the friend who so superl. He was latively flattered him, says the Louisville few months ago the livest kind of a man, and the Democrats lost no opportunity to certify to that fact, but lately a change haa come over the spirit of his dream, and all that buoyant effervescence which showed Itself in everything he said or did haa passed away, leaving him as flat, as Macaulay says, as champagne In decanters. He hasn't , turned a back handspring since the Chicago convention nor indulged In any of those breexy disportments in speech or action which bespeak his powerful vitality. In fact even that stereotyped smile has become only a memory and there Is no record of his having said he was delighted at anything. ' Live man, Indeed!

The strikes of organised labor tell their own story. The Increased cost of living far outruns tbe Increase (where there Is any) in the rate of wages The prosperity of the farmers during the last decade was occasioned by a succession of favorable crop years and the high prices of tbelr products has been due to war and short crops abroad; but the high IfHce of food products while some compensation to the farmer for the high prices he must pay, does not Improve the condition of other wage earners but serves rather to make them worse. Even the high prices of farm products frequently do not greatly benefit the farmers for It is the trusts that generally reap the best of the harvest of this Increase. To take the first example that comes to mind out of hundreds of similar ones the price of beef cattle and the price of dressed beef. The price of beef on hoof Is about 4 cents per pound a price less than half that which is paid for live beef in any other large country like this: but the price of dressed beef a trust product Is nlways high and frequently exorbitant. The beef trust, sheltered by Republican favors from prosecution, fixes the price of both live cattle and dressed beef. Thus while the wage earners suffer, even the formers are robbed of moat of the natural Increase In the prices of their products. lay-off- Of FALL GOODS IB ALL LINES!
