THE PLATFORM
The platform adopted by the
republican national convention la
stssiou at Chicago Is a document of
robus*. Americanism. it should
not only command the support of
every man who has accepted in the
past »-he teuets of tha republi
can party but of thousands ol
others who have never hereto
fore cas-* a republican vote. TTiis
for the sound and sufficient rea
son that there is abesoluta certain
ty. disturbed by no doubt, that wh,§
the republican party again gats coo
trol of the machinery of the aa
t'cnal governmen* every one of the
putfona pledgie will be carried in
to effect literally and exactly as
atuiw;.
There is in this platform a guar
antee that when the republican
P'irty is again restart d to pow
®r there will be protection of Am
erican rights at home and abroad,
bv land and by sea. without qulb
bli'ig, evasions or procrastination._
Tai* our rights as "neutrals will
be uphe'd against any nation seek
ing 'r> impair them. That this
government will restore order and
maintain peace in Mexico, and will
gl»> absolute protection to Ameri
can life, liberty and property along
the bord- r an<l In Mexico aa well
The duties which, we assumed to.
th« Philippines will not be evaded.;
Tl'o country will be given not mere
ly adequate but thorough and com
plete national defense, ready for
~uy emergency.
There will be a restoration of
protection to ever America® itidus
trv tieedirg it. with provision
agaii.s^ undue exactions by mono
polies and trusts. The merchant,
marine will be built up through
adequate laws. including libera |
payments for carrying the mails.
riK<se who are preparing to create
a merchant shipping will be re
lieve-' of any fear of facing the op
position of a government-owned
flee*. the losses in operation of
which are to be oald out to the
federal treaswTy. There will "be
bit' one tribunal, instead of forty
o-ld to regulate the transportation
systems of the country, erven should
a constitutional amendment be Bec
wsary to give the authority for this
as probacy it would. I
J^ab^r is promisd r'gliteous laws,
which a democratic congress, posing
as friendly to labor, 'wis failed "en
tirely to act upon, although the;
bills have long been before it. Wo
man suffrage is approved, although
the right of each stale to Beetle the
question for itself Is naturally re
cognized, for so the constitution of
thJ United State® provide®.
Furtoer, thero is not a single
declaration in the republican plat
form which does not harm.- -q1zi
fully with the declarations of the;
progressive platform, framed thej
same day. There Is not the slight-l
est L«ue drawn between the plat-j
form declarations of the two partiefj
They stand for identically the same
principles.—P. I.
THAT TRADE BALANCE
The Democratic National Commit
tee has just issued a large bullotin
across ♦he top of which b written
in l<*r%e letters "Democracy Brings
era of unexampled proaparity." A
similar claim is made by President
Wlkon In his Jafferson Day speech
wh»i he said. "We have turned the
Jk 1.1 *-•—- tm'mm \ r i I
thoughts and tha energies and .the
congu"ring genius of dive business
men of America *o the gre*.t field
or tb. business world at large."
Thes* *wo assertions raise an iseue
of fact—en issue which can be
determined by an almost conclusive
mathematical dsmonatration. We
rind .bat alter an analysis of the
balance of trade which, is the chief
fac'or in determining; lnduatrial
conditio • that conditions are not
■is a commonly thought by the
great just of the people.
What ever balance of trade 'hat
the United States may claim at
the or«sent time was due solely to
the European war and not to any
political party. For a party to
claim tho benefits of commercial
prosperity when 1* can be traced di
rectly to a cause such as the fig
ures o* fne expartlnip and lmport
ag department of the United
Stat-s government ehkxw Is not truly
placiig befeme Che people the ac
complishments of the party a<lm (ni
tration.
[ The evidence obtained from ma
'hemiiMca] tabulation Of the ele
ments which make up* the balance
of trade 's not purely tflrcumatan
Ma!. It Is no* letft to th© voter
to reach an inference from very
remote and disconnected Jrfts of
wldtnce. The industrial and finan
cial fr-cts contained therein; are^ec
closelv aud convincingly connected
with the Euroeipen w»t as to leave
no possible doubt to the miind of
my unbiased searcher for truth
tha' whatever prosperity we are
enjoylnr must be attributed to the
war ;u Enrope.
\o America* Jury weighing evi
dence under the instructiona from
a Jurtre, would reject evidence as
conclnplve as the tabulated figures
lef t'H! department of commerce.
Neither will soch evidence be reject
vd b the vast Jury of American
vote-s. notwithstanding the asser
tion ot»en. heard that the democrat o
adiril-r'stration has brought on pros
perity.
WELCOME GRAND TRUNK
We extend the long- arm of fel
lowship 'o the Grand Trunk Pa
cific aiK* give them a hearty wel
can; Al'.ieka and particularly to
Sk;'gway. The keen business judg
ment of this company ig apparent
from their recent move In estab
lish lug a line of steamers plying to
and from Alaskan ports.
A company which la established
in 'he various lines of transporta
tion can do a world of good fo a
ney country eueh as A la.sk. i. We
| need all the help that can he giv
|eu u« fiOin any source •which) acts
li'er the better. The above com
pany is carrying on an aactenslve ad
vertising campaign of the scenic
>vonders of the northjand and
will briug to our shores a goodly
uumow of tourists and we sin
cerely iuope and trust that later
these tourists will become bo im
pressed with Alaska, tta possibili
ties and inevitable future in the
uffalrs of the commercial world
that they *-111 soon claim allegiance
to Alaska as a permanent place of
abode.
We notice that annaaber of the
officials of the company have ar
ilved ou the Prince George making
the maiden thio of tivat moving sea
.wlace complete. Th© knowledge
which tbey have gainttl on the trii'
will place them In a position to
kuow the exact conditions and
they will be able to Inform pa
trons off their line of the true con
ditions In Alaska.
Any pressure which there of
flclals or men of Influence making
toe trip can bring to bear upon
'he law-making body of the United
States which will bring aibout
oeuer conditions in the northkind
would be a boon to the people 'who
have choBen to make this their
'i0me. We are now in the pio
neering stage of our existence, de
velopment Is coming to the front,
people are being attracted to" our
shores not only from a touring
viewpoint hut to make tnrrestlga
tlcns and ascertain the feasibility'
<^f inrestiing money in various lines
of commercial enterprise.
