The Landsthing of Denmark has refused to ratify the treaty. Pennsylvania makes protest against tampering with the tariff. They seem to be satisfied. Now that the coal strike is settled they are happy.

Talk of King Corn, and King Cotton, but don’t Mother Goose contain something relative to a “jolly old soul” King Coal. Democratic prospects in Maryland are said to be so bright that it is thought if they are polished a little more they will be rubbed through. Candidates for the Democratic nominations in 1904—Wm. J. Bryan, Grover Cleveland, Dave B. Hill, Arthur P. Gorman, Richard Olney, and Tom L. Johnson. Take your pick. This represents every shade of evex’y Democratic doctrine, fad and ’ism. In 1860 when the Democratic party took a compulsory and much needed vacation, the money in circulation was $13.86 per capita. By 1892 when it came into power in both branches of Congress, the figure had reached $24.60 per capita. Under the Cleveland “beneficent” rule it diminished to $21.71 per capita by 1896. In 1902 It has risen to $28.40 per capita, which is the highest point it has ever reached. The country is in no way desirous of learning to what figure it would diminish under a return of the Democracy.
