One by one the contentions of
Hon. W. J. Bryan in the late presi
dential campaign are being proven
just 4 .and true.
That he was correct in his conten

within the last several months pre
sent the proof in unmistakable terms.
The statistical figures showing that
manufacturers in the United States
sell their products in foreign coun
tries at prices lower than the prices
consumers in the United States are
obliged to pay, prove conclusively
that the republican tariff law con
fers special favors upon the rich
manufacturers, to the financial inju
ry of the great mass of the people in
this country who use the products
of these factories.
That the government of this re
public is assuming imperial force
and magnificence is plainly set forth
by the power the republicans in con
gress have placed within the com
mand of President McKinley 'con
cerning the Philippine Islands, the
government of Porto Bico as a colo
ny, and the demands made upon
Cuba, which will constitute that isl-
land a dependency of this country.
Nothing need be said of the annex
ation of Hawaii, and its government
by appointees of President McKin

If there should be no increase of

istic tendencies, there might not be
serious protest.

“Gold and Glory,” says Senator
Depew of New York, are the watch
words of the republican party. Evi
dently the leaders of that party get
their full share, or more, of the first

cost the government the snug sum
of $30,000. Further, the great in
crease in the size of the army and
navy increases the expenses of the
government by hundreds of millions
of dollars, all of which must be paid
in taxes bj the people who are least
able to pay.
Our Washington correspondent
quotes a Georgia congressman on
this item of increased expenses
caused by imperialism:
“In a statement prepared by Rep
resentative Livingston of Georgia,
senior member of the committee on
appropriations, the wild. extrava
gance of the republicans is pointed
out. Mr. Livingston says: ‘The 54th
congress was the last one that made
appropriations for the support of the
government prior to the beginning
of the Spanish-American war. The
56th congress is the first congress
appropriating for the support of the
government since the close of the
so-called Spanish-American war.
The difference between the appro
priations made by the 56th congress
and those made by the 54th con
gress amounts to $395,482,272. Du
ring" the session just closed ths de
mands of the people, through their
representatives, for the construction
of the Nicaraguan canal have gone
unheeded; for new public buildings
they have been persistently denied.
The river and harbor bill has been
permitted to fail. The payment of
just claims of honest people against
the government have not been pro
vided for.” Yet, the expenses have
increased nearly $400,000,000 over
those before the war. This, Mr.
Livingston says, represents the cost
of imperialism. ’
Senator McLauren of South Car
olina has disclaimed allegiance to
the democratic party, by refusing to
enter and abide by a caucus of dem
ocratic senators in Washington dur
ing the late special session of the
senate. During the last session of
congress he voted oftener with the
republican senators than with the
democrats. As a man, he should do
as he thinks is right, but as an offi
cer, it is not right,jjust nor honest
for him to assist the republicans
while serving under a democratic
commission. If he cannot serve
democracy, he should resign the of
fice to which h8 was elected as a
democrat by democrats.
It is reported from London that
England, the United States and Ja-
pai\ will agree io protest vigorously
against the occupation of -Manchu
ria, in northern China, by Russian
troops. It is feared that Russian
occupation of that province means
ownership and the eventual parti
tion of the Chinese empire among
the European powers.

It is often said that beauty and
usefulness are rarely combined, but
the combination is most delightfully
presented in the Quarter-Century
Edition of Burpee’s Farm Annual
for 1901.
The manual embraces the experi
ence of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. in
growing vegetable, farm and flower
seeds and bulbs during 25 years,anc
the verdict of all who have usee
Burpee’s seeds is that th’ey arft “true
to name and sure to grow.”
The quarter-century of progress
of these seedsmen is truly wonder
ful, and their pre-eminent success is
due to the fact that their main effort
is to produce only the best,and their
determination to sell nothing that
has not been tried and jjroven wor
thy.
Their 1901 manual contains illus
trations in colors, and plain, of all
the vegetables and flowers worth
growing, with instructions how to
grow them. The novelties illustra
ted and described are well worth ex
amination, and altogether the man
ual is the best we ev,er saw. It is
certainly a thing of beauty,and a joy
to every gardener who uses* it.
Words fail u& in any attempt to de
pict the worth of this book of 220
pages. Send for it.
Burpee’s seeds are sold in any
quantity desired, and every package
guaranteed. The Fordhook Farms,
Dolyelstown, Burke County, Pa.,' are
the largest and most complete trial
grounds for vegetable and flower
seeds in America.
