THE "PARAMOUNT" MAKER. First It Was Free Trade. Then Free Silver. and Now It Is "Anti-Imperialism" and "Anti-Expansion." [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.] WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Bryan has been identified with three "paramount" issues, to which he has, with all due solemnity, dedicated his life and pledged his powers to engraft upon the national legislation of the country. When in the Fifty-second Congress, nine years ago, he was an ardent champion of free trade; in a speech long and brilliant he declared that "a protective tariff was conceived in greed and fashioned in iniquity, false in economy and the most vicious political principle that ever cursed this country." Yet a protective tariff bill was passed by the First Congress and approved by Washington. Bryan further declared that he would fight the protective system as long as there was anything to remedy. The struggle between protection and free trade went against him. The people repudiated free trade and Bryan dropped it. It was not wise to "paramount" free trade when it would not make votes. Four years ago, realizing that he must "paramount" something else, he took up silver and worked it with all the force of his eloquence. That in turn was repudiated by the people, and dropped by Bryan. All his wild prophecies have been proven to be false by the prosperous facts of recent experience. This year he concluded to let free trade alone, touch lightly on free silver and "paramount" imperialism, and he is working it in the same prophet-promising, reckless fashion. In opposing protection he denounced Washington; in advocating free silver he ran counter to all financial experience; in opposing expansion he reflects on Jefferson. After a few more campaigns he may possibly get into line and strike something that is right, but at present there is a big dent in the public confidence as to the accuracy of his prophetic powers and as to his leader-like ability. As the "silver crown of thorns" stampeded the Chicago convention but failed to stampede the country, so the and at the end of the week he is a creditor for six days' pay. Whether a man works by the day, by the week, by the month or by the year, he is always a creditor, for he must give his services first. But above all it is the savings-bank depositor who is the chief of creditors, and who in laying by his money for "a rainy day" should, when he comes to draw it out, have just as good money paid as he deposited. To these creditors who are saving day by day their hard-earned wages and salaries, Bryanism and 16 to 1 would be disaster, ruin and despair. Unlimited Coinage of Silver. Continued from First page. 18 inches a yard and 8 ounces a pound. A piece of cloth would be no longer if it was called 20 yards than if it was called 10 yards, and a pair of butter would hold no more butter when the pound was 8 ounces than when it was 16 ounces. The real sufferers would be creditors and earners of wages and salaries. The man who had lent out $1000 in gold, or taken notes to that amount for property-sold by him, would get back $1000 in money which would enable him to buy no more than he could have bought with $470 when he lent the $1,000 or sold the property on credit for $1000. In the same way the mechanic, the laborer, the clerk and every man, woman and child receiving pay for services would find his or her compensation, though apparently the same, really cut down by the rise in the prices of everything that they had to buy—food, fuel, clothing, especially—to less than one-half of what they had been. In order to live as well as they did before, they would have to insist on higher wages, and though they would get them in the end they would have to fight for them and go through all the misery and turmoil of strikes. The immensity of the values which the unlimited coinage of the silver dollar would destroy can hardly be computed. The government bonds alone which would be payable in silver amount to $700,000,000; the bonds of railroad companies to $3,000,000,000; the bonds secured by mortgages on real estate to $4,000,000,000 — besides bank debts and things of that kind "A Miss is As Good as a Mile" If you are not entirely well, you are liness does not mean death's door.

There is often very much in a nation Some names attract, others terrify, when a dictionary is referred to sometimes find that the name that rified us was really synonymous with the name which attracted, and that we harmless. A disciple of Wm. J. Bryan is terrified when he hears the word "ritory" uttered, but he sees in phrase "colonial dependency," wrecking of our government and annihilation of free institutions. Webster's dictionary defines a story to be "an extent of land ruled by government, often a tract lying distance from the parent country far from the seat of government." The United States, a portion of the territory not included within the limits any state, but organized with a separate legislature under a governor, and officers appointed by the President of the United States." In Canada similarly organized district not formed into a province." The same authority defines a colony dependency to be a "territory rebel from the state to which it belongs subject to its dominion." The careful reader of the above citations will not have failed to notice a territory, in the United States, has yet become a state, and that, in Canada same term is used to signify a similar organized district not yet formed in province, but the reader may not find that this identity of definition from an identity of origin of the principal division known as a territory. he is working it in the same prophetpromising, reckless fashion. In opposioning protection he denounced Washington; in advocating free silver he ran counter to all financial experience; in opposing expansion he reflects on Jefferson. After a few more campaigns he may possibly get into line and strike something that is right, but at present there is a big dent in the public confedence as to the accuracy of his prophetic powers and as to his leader-like ability. As the "silver crown of thorns" stamped the Chicago convention but failed to stampede the country, so the "golden crown of imperialism" will have no terrors for the people as long as proof of its existence depends on the assertion of the Nebraska prophet, who said that the gold standard would starve everybody except the money changers and the money owners. A study of Mr. Bryan's late speeches emphasizes the well-known truth that it is easier to be critical than to be correct. It is perhaps worth while at the present stage of political misrepresentation to turn aside from assertion and look at some facts as revealed by the conduct of the United States in dealing with Porto Rico. Sentiment is hard to weigh and difficult to appraise at its true market value, but facts are tangible evidence of intention whether they be good or bad. The so-called imperial administration of McKinley has, according to the published statements of Porto Ricans, relieved the inhabitants of that fair Atlantic island of the following: Stamped paper dues on the transfer of property. Personal certificates. Passports. Export duties. Tax on professions, trades and occupations. Import duties have been made nominal, and the Porto Rican have been given power to abolish them altogether. Tribute to Spain. Tribute to the Veraguas family. Tribute to the Colonial minister. War tribute in time of peace. Navy tribute. Pensions to retired Spaniards. Support of mounted police. Military courts to try political offenders. Mayors appointed by the government. A military governor. All these burdens have been lifted from the shoulders of our insular wards, and in addition to these negative benefits they have been given the following: Habeas corpus. Courts of justice composed of Porto Rican magistrates. A modern free-school system. Uniform currency. Regularity in exchange. Autonomous municipal rule. Increased right of suffrage. Native police force. Free justice and quick procedure. Representation in the executive council. A house of representatives to legislate for the island. No people were ever treated more generously, and under the new regime business has doubled in volume in two years. Burdens have been lifted, liberty has been extended, education has been advanced, business has increased, and the people are prosperous and There are fortunes in oil and the stock of this company is sure to pay handsome dividends and go to a large premium. Stock redeemable on demand at any time within thirty days from date of certificate. All money paid in installments refunded on demand at any time within thirty days from date of first strike. The immensity of the values which the unlimited coinage of the silver dollar would destroy can hardly be computed. The government bonds alone which would be payable in silver amount to $700,000,000; the bonds of railroad companies to $3,000,000,000; the bonds secured by mortgages on real estate to $4,000,000,000 — besides book debts and things of that kind to an unknown extent. Above all, the $2,500,000,000 of deposits in savings banks due to 5,000,000 depositors would be reduced more than one-half, sweeping away the savings of years. What privations, suffering and general misery would follow any one can judge for himself. The unlimited coinage of the silver dollar would, therefore, benefit no one but those who happened to owe money when it began; and even these, as soon as their debts were paid, would be in the same condition as the rest of the community. Creditors and wage earners would, on the other hand, be robbed of millions and never get them back. While the change, too, from gold to silver was going on, business would be in confusion; there would be no end of quarrels between debtors and creditors, and we might even have a financial panic worse than any which the country has heretofore experienced.

He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and he said, 'No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose, told him to take another dose in 15 or 20 minutes if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured."

The same authority defines a colony dependency to be a "territory refrom the state to which it belongs subject to its dominion." The careful reader of the above citations will not have failed to notice a territory, in the United States, has yet become a state, and that, in Canada same term is used to signify a similar organized district not yet formed in province, but the reader may not know that this identity of definition arose from an identity of origin of the penal division known as a territory such is the fact. Our form of territorial organization was copied from the British system colonial administration, almost eighteen and the man who copied it and made part of our political system Thomas Jefferson, who drafted them brated Ordinance of 1787 for the grantment of the Northwest Territory, which has furnished the model for every territorial government that has been established. The identity of our territorial system of government with the British system of colonial administration is evidenced by a study of the essential principles involved in both. 1. The British system was found to right to acquire directly from power in which the sovereignty was without the consent of the inhabited Every territory acquired by the United States has been acquired without consent by a popular vote of the people of territory, and only Texas and Hawaii assented through action taken by de facto governments. 2. The British system reserves right in the parent government to pose off all the public lands in the local dependency. So also has our government reserved right to the nation to dispose of the lands in the territory, as lands of the nation. 3. The British colonial system in the parent government is controlled aborigines. Our government has from time reserved itself to exclusive rights all the territories. 4. The British government gives charters to its principal dependents guaranteeing personal rights and liberties of their people. Our own government has done something in their formation by co-operation with only such powers as are granted bygress, or as were stipulated for invocation of annexation. 5. The British colonial system administered by appointed governors judges, removable at pleasure parent state. This has been precisely the position our own government, which has pointed governors and judges for towns and removed them from governors have vetted laws enacting territorial legislatures, and congress disapproved such enactments and fired them. Some of our territories have been armed without charters of rightthe territory west of the Missouri 1829 to 1854.

Burdens have been lifted, liberty has been extended, education has been advanced, business has increased, and the people are prosperous and grateful. In a short time their loyalty to the United States government will put to the blush many of those who try to blind truth by calling the best government on earth an imperial despotism. The silver orators from Bryan down are never tired of reiterating that the gold standard is established solely in the interest of the creditor class, who want whatever is due them paid in the best and highest kind of money. They assume that the debtor class is the poor who owe money, and that the creditor class is the rich to whom money is always due. On this ground they endeavor to foment hatred and bitterness among the poor against the rich, and to array class against class and employee against employer. To stir up such jealousies and hatreds opens the road to anarchy, and anarchy leads to the destruction of government. But it is not true that the poor are the debtor class, and the rich the creditor class. As a matter of fact, the great majority of people belong to both classes, having money coming to them from one direction and having to pay it out in another. It is, therefore, difficult to draw any hard and fast line to separate the debtors from the creditors. But if there is a creditor class in this country, a set of people to whom that designation is peculiarly applicable, it is not composed of the men who handle large sums of money and who are engaged in carrying on great enterprises. They, for the most part, are debtors. The real creditor class is composed of working men and women, of employees in every line of business, of salaried people and of depositors in banks, especially depositors in savings banks. These are the men and women to whom money is always due and who are entitled, if anybody in all the world is, to the best and most stable money that can be devised. A fluctuating money, varying in value from time to time, is to them a condemnation of poverty and loss. A working man, no matter what his labor may be, who starts to work on Monday morning, is a creditor at nightfall for the amount of his day's wages, Excursions to San Diego and Coronado Beach.

J. Bryan is not used when he hears the word "terrified" uttered, but he sees in the "colonial dependency," the king of our government and the inflation of free institutions. Observer's dictionary defines a terri- to be "an extent of land ruled by a government." Often a tract LYING AT AANCE from the parent country or from the seat of government."

In Canada, "a early organized district not yet into a province." The same authority defines a colonial tendency to be a "territory remote from the state to which it belongs but not its dominion." The careful reader of the above definitions will not have failed to notice that territory, in the United States, has not become a state, and that, in Canada the term is used to signify a similarly sized district not yet formed into a province, but the reader may not know this identity of definition arises from an identity of origin of the politi- tion known as a territory. EXPANDED AMERICA. No. 2. The Brave Beginning of a Continuing Course of American Expansion and Imperialism. When in 1783 the British government reached a frame of mind that enabled our commissioners to treat for peace on the basis of independence for the thirteen original colonies, a strict construction of the title to the territory claimed by those colonies would have limited the new republic to the Atlantic seaboard east of the Alleghany mountains. It is true that some of the colonies laid claim to indefinite extensions west, such claims having been based on chartered rights granted at different times by kings of England; but these claims were conflicting, and the territory granted by these charters belonged to France and Spain and continued so to belong until after the French and Indian war, which began in 1754, and in which the British soldiers and American militia jointly won the region east of the Mississippi from the French and annexed it to the British possessions. In 1774 all of this region west of the Alleghany mountains was annexed to Canada, and as Canada did not join with the colonies in the Revolutionary war our claim to that vast region was slight. But our peace commissioners boldly stood for the Mississippi river as a western boundary. They placed small insistence upon the claim as of right, but great was the stress placed upon it as a matter of policy. Fortunately Lord Shelburne, the British premier, who had ever been friendly to the colonists, adopted a liberal policy, confessing that he not only wanted peace but reconciliation in the interest of British commerce, and so wisely, and even generously, fixed the western boundary at the Mississippi, the northern boundary to be the center line of the chain of great lakes at the north projected to intersect the source of the Mississippi river. The southern border was fixed at Florida line, not well defined, but coming at the nearest point to within 50 miles of the Gulf of Mexico. Along the northern boundary there was a chain of British forts and settlements, along the western a chain of French settlements, along the southern EXPANDED AMERICA. No. 3. Jefferson's Greatest Gift to His Country—Louisiana. Always a patriot and most always a statesman, Thomas Jefferson, during his long career, rendered many important services to his country, but the greatest of them all was the purchase of Louisiana. At the beginning of this century Spain owned all of the continent west of the Mississippi; New Orleans and the Florida estates cut off from the ocean growing inland; states which could ship none of their productions to the markets of the world save by the grace of His Spanish Majesty and generally under galling restrictions; among so days railroads were not dreamed of; canals were in far distant future, and the commerce of the Mississippi valley must reach the markets of the world through the mouth of the Mississippi river or not at all. So long as Spain retained the possession of Louisiana there was hope that it might be bought or wrested from her, for she was already decrepit, but it might be a very different story if Louisiana fell into the hands of the insatiate Napoleon, which it did in first years of this century. In the faint hope of buying the island of New Orleans, President Jefferson caused negotiations to be opened with Napoléon, and was instounded to find that he could buy the whole of Louisiana for $15,000,000. He jumped at the opportunity. But there were obstacles in the way. Jefferson believed that there was no constitutional warrant for the purchase and annexation of territory, but the salvation of the Mississippi valley depended on it. He had always been a strict constructionist of the constitution, the champion of states' rights and an opponent of centralization of power. It was to an opposition to what he declared to be monarchical tendencies of Washington and Hamilton that he owed his political ascendency, but the salvation of the upper Mississippi valley depended upon the free navigation of the Mississippi river. The opposition party, on the other hand, had always favored a liberal construction of constitutional powers, but they hated Jefferson. A narrow partisan-ship made them oppose their own policy because it chanced to be Jeffer- At Bed Time I take a pleasant drink, then ing I feel bright and my compliments better.

The careful reader of the above definitions will not have failed to notice that territory, in the United States, has not become a state, and that, in Canada the term is used to signify a similarly organized district not yet formed into a province, but the reader may not know this identity of definition arises from an identity of origin of the politi- division known as a territory, but is the fact. The form of territorial organization copied from the British system of administration, almost entire, the man who copied it and made it part of our political system was Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the celebrated Ordinance of 1787 for the govern- of the Northwest Territory, which furnished the model for every terri- lity government that has been estab- lished. The identity of our territorial system government with the British system colonial administration is further enforced by a study of the essential tribes involved in both. The British system was founded on right to acquire directly from the earth in the sovereignty vested about the consent of the inhabitants. Every territory acquired by the United States has been acquired without consent popular vote of the people of such territory, and only Texas and Hawaii through action taken by their local governments. The British system reserved the right in the parent government to dis- fuse all the public lands in the colon- dependency. Also has our government reserved right to the nation to dispose of all lands in the territory, as public lands of the nation. The British colonial system vests the parent government the right to control the aborigines. Our government has from the first served to itself that exclusive right in the territories. The British government granted letters to its principal dependencies guaranteeing personal rights and the liberties of their people. Our own government has done the thing in the formation by congress schemes of government for each of territories, such territories having such powers as are granted by Con- sions, or as were stipulated for in treat- of annexation. The British colonial system is ad- dressed by appointed governors and judges, removable at the pleasure of the court state. This has been precisely the policy of own government, which has ap- pended governors and judges for terris- tories and removed them from office, governors have vetoed laws enacted by editorial legislatures, and congress has approved such enactments and nullifi- them. Some of our territories have been gov- ed without charters of rights, viz: territory west of the Missouri from 180 to 1854. California never had a titorial form of government, but was gov- erned, when governed at all, by the central powers of the President from time it was acquired from Mexico adopted a liberal policy, confessing that he not only wanted peace but reconciliation in the interest of British commerce, and so wisely, and even generously, fixed the western boundary at the Mississippi, the northern boundary to be the center line of the chain of great lakes at the north projected to intersect the source of the Mississippi river. The southern border was fixed at the Florida line, not well defined, but coming at the nearest point to within 50 miles of the Gulf of Mexico. Along the northern boundary there was a chain of British forts and settlements, along the western a chain of French settlements, along the southern a chain of Spanish forts and settlements, and throughout the interior there were thousands of Indians who had been bloody allies of the French against the British generation before and had recently been equally bloody allies of the British against the colonists. In the interior also were white settlements of pioneers from the colonies. All told, the population of this inland empire ran up into hundreds of thousands. Did any one suggest that the consent of these inhabitants ought to be obtained to their annexation to the new republic? Did Thomas Jefferson, who was appointed a member of the peace commission (though he did not get away from home before peace was concluded)? Did any of the peace commissioners raise that question—the sturdy John Adams, the great lawyer Jay, the venerable and benevolent Franklin? Not they. They stood for what their country needed, and the whole confederation of colonies broke out in exultation when the good news came that the independence of the United States of America had been acknowledged, with imperial boundaries extending from the great lakes southward almost to the gulf and from the Mississippi eastward to the sea. And in all that land no man was made more joyful than Thomas Jefferson. This was the beginning of Expanded America—a magnificent beginning wrought by the founders of the republic, by men who had warred eight years for political and civil liberty, by men who knew what human rights are as well as any group of men who over lived, and knowing them, not only stood bravely for them, but respected them when possible to do so; but these intensely practical patriots recognized a foundation fact that theoretical patriots are apt to overlook, viz.: the technical interests of the individual must sometimes be subordinated to the manifest well-being of the whole; consent of the governed must be assumed where it can not well be taken by a vote or where annexation is indispensable to the national welfare. This vast territory so annexed without the consent of the governed is to this day hearty co-operation and consent of the man who held the pen that wrote, "Govern- He had always been a strict constructionist of the constitution, the champion of states' rights and an opponent of centralization of power. It was to an opposition to what he declared to be the monarchical tendencies of Washington and Hainilton that he owed his political ascendency, but the salvation of the upper Mississippi valley depended upon free navigation of the Mississippi river. The opposition party, on other hand, had always favored a liberal construction of constitutional powers, but they hated Jefferson. A narrow partisanship made them oppose their own policy because it changed to be Jefferson's policy, just as a narrow partisanship on the part of Mr. Bryan's party now leads it to oppose the expansion policy of Jefferson because it chances to be the policy of President McKinley and his administration. Although a theorem of fine spam quality; in all his writings, Thomas Jefferson was as a politician intensely practical, and used without serpule means that best suited his ends. His authority over his party was as unquestioned as that of Mr. Bryan over his party. He was a political Caesar as Bryan is a political Caesar. Has orders to his followers in Congress were," Let other side make speeches, but when the time comes, vote." They voted as he bade them, and Louisiana was purchased. The Federalist party raged about militarism, destruction of liberty, breaking down of free government by taking in incongruous elements, etc., and then died. The people saw wisdom of Jefferson's policy and his party hold undisputed sway for twenty years. Jefferson believed that there was no constitutional warrant for the purchase of Louisiana, but he believed that there was a higher warrant than a constitutional warrant, and that higher warrant was the absolute need on the part of the interior of America to reach world's commercial highway through the "father of waters," or to use the expression of Lincoln two generations later. "The Mississippi must flow unveiled to sea." The Republican party has not in its platform suprised doctrine of preeminence over the constitution of a great national necessity, but Thomas Jefferson hid in his day, and in a letter to Mr. Monroe said: "We must ratify the treaty and pay our money, as we have treated for a thing beyond the constitution and rely on the nation to sanction an act done for its good without its previous authority." The Republican party leaves constitutional questions, for decision, not tothe issue of a partisan campaign waged against it by a heterogeneous host fused together for office only, but to the Supreme Court of the United States, where such questions ought always to be left for wise and unimpassioned adjudication. Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana not only without the consent of $80,000 white people living in the acquired territory, and without the consent of the countless thousands of Indians living therein, but against the hearty protest of a considerable part of the white population—a protest so determined that it prompted Spanish people in particular to sell out their holdings for what they could get and enigrate to Mexico rather than submit to the new order of things. The man who wrote This has been precisely the policy of our own government, which has appointed governors and judges for territories and removed them from office, governors have vetoed laws enacted by constitutional legislatures, and congress has approved such enactments and nullifies them. Some of our territories have been governed without charters of rights, viz: territory west of the Missouri from 1854. California never had a territorial form of government, but was governed when governed at all, by the imperial powers of the President from time it was acquired from Mexico conquest, until it was admitted into Union as a state. Those territories which were not fit to sustain a territorial form of home were not given it, as California was until after gold was discovered. There was then no Bryan to set up in showl of imperialism. We have had expansion, conquest, organization and imperialism under the laws and Stripes from the acquisition of the heart of the continent, (the region between the Mississippi and the Alleghenies) in 1783 down to the acquisitions Louisiana, Florida, Texas, California, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philippines, under a system precisely analogous to that of the British empire, and we not only have not suffered a deformity of our institutions in consequence, we have vastly extended and blessed world with them. If the policy of the Republican administration be a policy of imperialism, it is a continuation of a policy that has followed persistently and consistently by previous administrations for more than a century of national history, and if William McKinley be an imperialist he is in that particular only walking the footsteps of Thomas Jefferson who laid broadly and well the foundation upon which our career of imperialism has been constructed. We call our dependencies territories. The English people call their colonies they are the same in principle, origin and administration, and why get suddenly frightened at a system we have had in successful operation for 117 years?

Everywhere I speak a good word for Kemp. I are hold of my customers—I take old men and young men, and tell them confidentially what I do when I take cold druggists, 25c and 50c. This vast territory so annexed without the consent of the governed is to this day the heart of the Republic. The several colonies afterward ceded to the general government (quit-claimed would be a better expression of the fact) their respective claims to parts of the territory, but the real acquisition was from Great Britain at the conclusion of peace at the close of the Revolutionary war and was WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED. And this was done with the hearty co-operation and consent of the man who held the pen that wrote, "Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed," the putative father of the American democracy, Thomas Jefferson. But Thomas Jefferson, with all his fondness for academic disputation, was an intensely practical statesman. He knew that the 200 years of actual practice in government by the self-governing American colonies had equipped them for national self-government, and that it was therefore wrong to attempt to govern them without their consent, but he knew that the Indians and half-breeds inhabiting the upper Mississippi valley had enjoyed no such training and were not capable of giving an intelligent assent or dissent. Thomas Jefferson had common sense and unhesitatingly modified his academic conclusions by it, and it would greatly become his pretended followers to do likewise. They Struck it Rich. It was a grand thing for this community that such an enterprising druggist as P. A. Derge secured the agency for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, the wonderful remedy that has startled the world by its marvelous cures. The furor of enthusiasm over it has boomed his business, as the demand for it is immense. They give free trial bottles to sufferers, and positively guarantee it to cure coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma, croup, and all throat and lung troubles. A trial proves its merit. Price 50c. and $1.

Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana not only without the consent of the 80,000 white people living in the acquired territory, and without the consent of the countless thousands of Indians living therein, but against the heart protest of a considerable part of the white population—a protest so determined that it prompted the Spanish people in particular to soil out their holdings for what they could get and emigrate to Mexico rather than submit to the new order of things. The man who wrote that "governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed" never asked these people for their consent to be governed. He knew that most of them were not competent to consent, as the Filipines are not, but if they had been ever so competent he would not have permitted their consenting or not consenting to delay for a day the consummation of a transaction fraught with such tremendous consequences as the opening of the Mississippi river to the commerce of the world. Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana because it was tremendously profitable to the industry and commerce of his country to have it bought, and he did not regard the advancing of the industrial interests of his country as a mani-festation of that "greedy commercialism" of which the Bryan platform speaks so disparagingly. Being a common-sense statesman, he knew that the liberties of the non-consenting French and Spanish people of Louisiana would be perfectly safe in the hands of the American people, as common-sense people now know that the liberties of the Filipino people will be as safe in the hands of the same people to-day. The common-sense policy of Jefferson has been justified by a century of adherence to it, and the "consent of the governed" question is still a common-sense, and not an academic question. It holds true of those who are fitted for it. It does not hold true of those who are not so fitted. As the French, Spanish and Indian populations of Louisiana were not fitted to determine that question in Jefferson's day, so the Filipinos are not fitted to determine it in our day.

In its andy plains and valleys there is as much gold as in its mountains. The only reference is in the process of getting it. For the one the plow and the harster are used. For the other the pick and drill are necessary. Colorado needs more farmers. A thickly settled agritural region builds up cities. It kakes a prosperous State."—Denver Times. And this possibility of upbuilding and development through agriculture will apply to all the great arid West as on as its land shall have been retained and made productive through construction of great storage reserrials and the conservation of the vast columns of water which now flow ussely to the sea.

It is everyhere admitted to be the most successful remedy in use for bowel complaints and the only one that never fails. It is peasant, safe and reliable. In his last annual report the Secrety of the Interior, referring to the rid lands of the West, says: "That this vast acreage, capable of staining and comfortably supporting, under a proper system of irrigation, a population of at least 50,000,000 people, should remain practically a desert, is not in harmony with the progress of the age or in keeping with the possibilities of the future." The federal government should deote a portion of its annual river and harbor appropriation to the building of the great storage reservoirs, the surways for which have been made by the Geological Survey.

TENT CITY AT CORONADO BEACH OPENS JUNE 1, 1900 In addition to the peerless attractions of former summer He's blowing with all his might and can barely stir the recording hand from zero. There's many a big, healthy looking man who is weak in the lungs. Probably half or two-thirds of his lung surface barely knows the contact of oxygen. He's the kind of man, who when a cough attacks him, goes galloping down the road toward consumption. Many such a man has found strength and healing for weak lungs and tissues lacerated by coughing and drained by hemorrhages, in the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The healing power of this medicine in pulmonary diseases seems little short of marvelous at times, so extreme are the conditions which it cures. The "Discovery" contains no alcohol, and no narcotics. When I started to take your 'Golden Medical Discovery,' writes Mr. A. P. Novotny, of New York, N. Y., Box 1439. "I had a regular consumptive cough, of which I was afraid, and everybody cautioned me and warned me concerning it. I was losing weight rapidly, was very pale and had no appetite, whatever. Now my condition is changed entirely. I do not cough at all, have gained eight pounds in weight, have recovered my healthy color, and my appetite is enormous. I can recommend your medicine to everybody who may be in need of the same, as it is a sure cure." Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation. ELY'S CREAM BALM is a positive cure. Apply into the nostrils.
