If Republican policies arej to be overthrown, it must be done by men who boldly declare against them, and who go up against them with a determination to defeat them. The way to whip the enemy is to fight it.

(Thomas E. Watsons Remarks on Roosevelt and Parker in Letter of Acceptance.) been heaped upon time has been devoted by me to denunciation of Parker than of Roosevelt. The reason is obvious enough. Roosevelt is a straight-ou- t Republican, who declares boldly Much abuse has me because more for Republican principles, defiantly defending existing conditions. To attack him is a short, easy job. He is so conspicuous and stationary a target that no one who wished to take a shot at him could possibly miS3 the mark. He is not in ambush; he is behind no blind; he stands out in the open, and he says to his enemies, Here I am a Republican who stands pat on all existing conditions; if you want to fight, come on! Now, I can understand a Republican like that; and while I would love to make my battle-ax-e ring on his helmet until one of us went down in political defeat and death, yet I could respect him all the while as a foeman worthy of any mans steel. Mr. Roosevelt will get Republican votes, and no others. He is not seeking the support of Bryan Democrats upon false pretenses. He. is not playing a confidence ' game on the negro He is not attempting to win Jeffersonians by a sham adherence to Jeffersonian In principles. question. short, there is no danger that Jeffersonian Democrats will vote for Roosevelt upon the assumption that he is a Jeffersonian Democrat. There is no danger thht Roosevelt will get a single vote to which I, as a Jeffersonian in principle, am entitled. Roosevelt Stands Out in the Open. Rosevelt stands in the open, and dares Parker, defiantly, almost mock- - ence was on vital issues. Such a leader was Jefferson. Such a leader was Andrew Jackson. Such a leader was A. Stephen Douglas. Such a leader was William J. Bryan. In this campaign It has no such leader. To their secret shame and disgust, the rank and file of the great Democratic party see that their captain will not fight. In spite of party loyalty and a wish to believe otherwise, they see that Parker remains what Bryan says he was last April, an artful dodger, absolutely unfit for the presidential nomination. That Mr. Bryan himself supports the ticket does not change facts nor create satisfaction.

Vice-Preside- nt Perhaps the most pronounced feature in the situation today is the speech of Frank A. Vanderlip, of the National City Bank of New York, before the Illinois Bankers association. The utterances of Mr. Vanderlip are not only Important by reason of the personality of the man himself, but because they probably voice the opinions of the most powerful combination of financiers in the country. The optimistic views contained In the speech tally well with the ideas expressed in private by some of the most conservative bankers and business men. Sentiment is astonishingly unanimous as to a great coming No other conclusion trade revival. can be reached in view of our agricultural prosperity, the increased' gold production, and the fact that the whole world has been cleaning house, so to speak, for the past few years. Every indication now points to a gradual business expansion in every direction. The disposition and the facility to bring this about exist in a greater measure than has been the case for years. Marketwise, it Is worthy of note that the floating amount of undigested securities is small as compared with a year ago. One reason for this is because of the enormous increase in collateral value's which has enabled the taking up of these securities so that they are no longer a menace to the general market. Probably no real danger need be anticipated in financial circles until we that we become so a whole- on again create new securities vice-preside- over-confide- - ought be done. If elected, will he, Parker, i once have congress to do what as aIrea(ly done. Heav-WafntSev? nnt DR. AGNES WINZELL. nt In reference to the balderdash of the American and Democratic parties, and the eastern reports upon matters they do but guess at, I will say that while in the east in 1903 I heard so much in reference to the Mormons and polygamy, and the ignorance which the eastern people claim exists in Utah, that I made up my mind .to tour the state and find out for myself. I will state plain facts gathered in a close investigation of ten months in Utah and Idaho, spent continually with the Mormon people, boarding, rooming and at times being entertained by wealthy as well as the poor class. At all times observing their lives and actions, not in a single instance did I find polygamy practiced. In fact, I do believe that this accusa tion is almost without foundation. It certainly is so far as I observed. I found the Mormon people very open hearted and generous, at all times ready to answer any questions matpertaining to religious or social ters. In fact, I believe they are try of ing to live as near the teachingscon Christ as possible. In all of our versations I have not heard on unkind word uttered by them against their persecutors. I consider to-it very unjust villify and and slander any people as they have been cola cpfllA slandered.

In his meekly formal letter of acceptance he say3 that he takes up the g ove thrown at his feet, declaring that e will revoke that No. pension . But In the same breathorder, he has-n- s to admit that Roosevelt did which are being misrepresentations made, the false statements and publications, sent all over the world, is calculated to prevent capital and immigrants coming here. Is it not a fact that the American party is an offshoot of the old defunct A. P. A. party that sprung into life some years ago? Is it not a fact that the Democratic party gave U3 a Cleveland soup house administration? It filled the nation with starving people, and created the greatest tramp army the world has liver known. Let us be just and truthful in all of our political accusations. Let no sore head politicians lead us to destruction. Respectfully. the right thing, but way, and if you will i nt vious days. Business took on a more wholesome look, and there was every evidence that the market's digestive powers were in a healthy state. The St. Louis speech of Vice President Vanderlip of the National City Bank of New York is a topic of general discussion and notwithstanding its statement that the rise In securities has discounted more improvement in general business than has actually taken place, it is received as a bullish document. The most capable critics say that these qualifying remarks are entirely overshadowed by Mr. Vander-lip- s broad, admission that, largely as a result of great crops and good prices for them, the trend of financial affairs provided due conservatism is emphasized, is upward and will continue for a long time to come. That being the cas they believe the presumption that railroad tonnage and earnings will increase is fully warranted by the extraordinary agricultural situation. But this does not mean, experienced brokers hold, that a reaction in the stock market is not desirable. Despite the latters strength and breadth, many brokers who are great believers in ultimate improvement, which will carry prices to new high levels late ln the season, are insistent in their contention that the present speculative situation is decidedly suggestive of a setback In which bull powers wjll shake off a too numerous following composed of light waisted speculators who are trading, or rather over trading, on the traditional shoestring. Traders who have watched the current dealings very closely say that their most noteworthy features are the movements in St.. Paul and Erie common. The former is regarded as part of the bull campaign. St. Paul is an influential stock and the sentimental effect of its advance above 170 was extremely favorable. The buying of Erie, however, has quite a different incentive and it is reported than an arrangement was closed yesterday in the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. whereby one of the western roads will turn over to the Erie a largo amount of traffic. But conservative brokers do not see in this a reason for buying the stock for, as they aver, the latter in consequence of the enormous sums which must be spent upon the property to bring it up to the proper physical standard, will not get a dividend for a very long time. Boston Nows Bureau. -- o- PAID TO GET PROTECTION. Origin of Blackmail Was in the Sixteenth Century. Literally, blackmailing means black rent. In ancient days, rent that was paid in money was known as white rent, and rent that was paid in kind was known as black rent, and sometimes as black mail. In the sixteenth century the borderland between Scotland and England was in a perpetual state of disorder, and the farmers of the neighborhood used to pay such rent, or blackmail, to the powerful chieftains, to preserve them and their property from molestation. As public opinion began to view border discord with disapproval, the term blackmail acquired a meaning akin to that which it now suggests viz., payments extorted by illegal threats. -- |
