The July, August, and September earnings of eight of the largest railway systems of the country increased earnings of from $1,0L0,4)00 to $2,000,000 each for the three mouths in question. Does any railroad man regret his vote for sound money last year. The foreign countries go right on buying from us notwithstanding the grest reduction in our purchases from them under the Dingley tariff law. Our sales to them ha ve increased 25 per cent, under the dew law compared with the mouths of last year.

The people of the United States bad great friendship for Germany, while under the rule of those two large and liberal minded men Wil3£atn II and Frederick 11, but the .arrogance and open enmity of the fjresent emperor, the half crazy and wholly tyrannical warlord William 111, has changed our national friendship into national dislike, .-asr even national hatred. There, fesre Americans universally rejoice iathe prompt action of the administration in notifying Germany £hat no Chinese land grabbing on tfeeir part will go down in Hayti, aad backing the notice wtth& a «raiser, sent to Haitian waters. The warlord and his subsidized aind subservient German press have l*ad much to say during the last Sew years in denunciation of the Monroe doctrine. Well, Germany now has a chance to run square up against that doctrine if it wants to, and find that Uncle Sam will fight &er on that issue, at the drop of the hat. And in spite of all the friendship and respect Americans liave for the Germans, as a people, yet as a nation under the arrogant and tyrannical warlord, there is none whom Americans would fight more willingly.

Free-eolnage advocates find little .encouragemeut when they compare the resi-Ls of the late election -arith those of a •• date r «n previous p011..ml cycles. In Ohio, Nebraska, 10\,.’. Kentucky, Virginia, and Massachusetts the Democratic platforms 1. :. de the silver issue as prominent the elections of 1897 as in 1896. In every one of those States the falling off in Democratic votes as compared with the preceding Presidfential -election was greater than was the case in the election of 1893, the year following the Presi■ciential election ip which genuine Democratic principles of free trade were the issue. The Democrats of lifeese six States in 1893 stuck to legitimate Democratic issues, similar to those of 1892, while in 1897 they reiterated their free-silver doctrines of 1896. The result was that in Ohio they lost in 1897 16 per cent, of their vote of the preloading year, against a loss of 1 2 percent, in 1893; in lowa the loss in 1897 was 13 per cent., in 1893 11 per cent.; in Kentucky in 1897 sake loss wos 14 per cent., in 1894

(there being no election in that State in 1893) 6 ser cent.; in Virginia in 1897 28 per cent., in 1893 21 per cent.; in Massachusetts in 1897 24 per cent., in 1893 11 per cent.: in Nebraska in 1897 a loss 12 per cent- against an actual gain of 75 per cent, in 1893. Not very encouraging to new doctrines, eh?
