"a Free Trade Congress-"

Says the Philadelphia Press: at takes

English system Of raising revenues from

Gen. Garfield was just such a free trader

of free trade principles were recognized
inIEngland and caused his election as a
member Of the Golden club The results
of the Congressional elections of this
year have no more influence on the price
OF iron than IN the growth OF wool or
the fall Of snow. The same issue OF the
Press from which the above extract is
clipped contains special telegram from
Harrisburg, which states that "the man
ayers Of the leading steel and iron
works in this city and vicinity do not
entertain the opinion that the election
of a Democratic Congress has anything
TO do with the cutting down Of work or
reduction OF time in the iron industrial
establishment" Superintendent Bent,
Of the Pennsylvania steel works, told a
Pres reporter that "thc orders for rails
from the works generally came in July,
August and September. This year
there were no orders in those months.

THURLow WEED, the oldest, and
perhaps the best known of American
politicians, died at his home in New

born in 1897. At the age of twelve,
he was an apprentice to the printing
business in 1912 a volunteer in the
war, and at twenty.one established a
newspapcr in the western part of New
York, and took prominent part in
the Anti-masonic excitement of 1925

grew into prominence, not as a states.
man, but as shrewd and not over
scrupulous party manager in which he
welded great political influence and
power in his state. Mr. Weed was a
political manager, boss, as the term
now is, endowed with rare sagacity,
who made and unmade prominent
officials at will, but always too adroil
to fritter away the power to do so by
seeking or accepting Office for himself
In this he differed from the Pennsylya.
MIA bosses, Of later date. For several
years he has been in retirement much
respected and esteemed by his friends
and the community.

The Next Speaker.

The average Republican has always
taken great pleasure in fixing up
factional fight for Mr.. Samuel j. Ran
dali in hopes that discord in the Dem
ocratie party may result as the conse-
quence. Formerly, the effort was to
kick up a row" between him and
Senator Wallace, but the fight never
came off, and these eminent gentlemen
still remain together delivering their
blows in concert against the questiona-
bic political practices fthe common
enemy. Now, they are again jubilant
in the expectation of an acrimonious
disturbing tilt between Mr.. Randall
and Mr.. Carlisle for the Speakership,
one to champion free trade, the other
protection, resulting in weakening the
Democratic harmony of the House.
As neither of these gentlemen repre-
sent free trade nor protection, but are
both Democrats in favor of revenue
tariff, fairly and judiciously adjusted
to foster the industrial interests of the
country, there is little chance, what
ever the result, of disturbing the Dem.
cratic harmony. Besides, this eternal
tariff issue which the Republicans
below on all occasions, and then make
no proper effort at adjustment in such
manner as to render the laws bearable
and permanent, is losing its potency to
excite or win respect in any quarter
Whether Mr.. Randall or Mr.. Carlisle
is the Speaker of the next Congress,
the Democracy will rejoice to know
that their party is ably represented,
and not liable to the disgrace which
attaches to the'present Congress from
the ignorance and ineflicieney of
Keifer and the leadership Of Robson.
We have strong hope that the great
experience and ability of Mr.. Randall
will commend him as the proper per-
son TO preside over the next Congress,
but whether or not, the assurance
which comes from him is gratifying.
that There will be no factional fight
in the Democratic majority over the
election of speaker, because Mr.. Ran
dali regards the unity of the party in
the House As of much more importance
than the choice Of any man for speak.
er. Ii he cannot be elected without
dividing the majority into factions,
