The death Of Jean Carries, the sculp.
cor, recalls an anecdote i'm which he and
the late President Carnot were the prin.
cipal actors. The artists busts and
figures at the Champ de Mars excited the
admiration of all. and they were de.
servedly classed In the first rank. M.
Carnot. when ON his visit to the salon,
noticed an old man, who seemed much
moved on seeing him, standing before
the works of art of the sculptor. Some

The Argus Leader falls into a doleful
whine over the passage OF the demo-
cratic protective tariff measure at the
command OF the trusts and in It's dis
comtture emlts a wall that but for its
disgusting talsehoods might draw il the
commiseration Of decent people. But
when an organ in its attempt to tear
down a better political system than its
own is let down into the slough OF its
own foulness and in it's cry for pity tries
by sneaking innuendo and falsehood to
pull down its opponents TO the sane
level, it ia deserving only the contempt
of mankind. Ii says, "the bill is better
than the Mckinley law. 1t reduces the
average tax from 80 per cent to SO per
cent. A large number Of the necessaries
OF life have been placed IN the free list
and o n most Of the others a very heavy
reduction has been made. Even the
bounty to the sugar trust has been re-
duced from the half cent a pound
allowed by Mckinley to one eighth. 1T
then goes on TO tell how the democrats
the leaders of its own ~party-have sold
out to the sugar trust, the iron trust and
the coal trust, in the passing Of this law.
And then, as il it would condone the
pertidy OF its own party, it seeks to
smear the republican party with the
following libel: 1.-The republicans have
never denied their allegiance to trusts
and capitalistic aggression. But the
democrats have promised adequate rem
edies and il was upon these promises
that they won power" It Is a prominent
characteristic Of small natures that they
always try to make out others as bad as
themselves and the Argus-Leader
makes a shining example OF itself in this
respect. When the republican party
put sugar on the free list of importa-
tions and encouraged home productions
with q small bounty, it saved the con-
INT of this country $50, 100000 dollars
aud the Argus-Leader calls this selling
ont TO the trust; while the democratic
party puts on a tariff sf 45 per semi and
a d~ifferential OF "a cent a pound. Was
the Argus Leader giving facts or Ease
hoods in its statement? Because the
average republican tariff was 30 per cent
as the Al. claims, which it was not
and the Q average as it says is 80 per
cent, which it il not, but more, and that
ga large number OF the necessaries of
life have been placed on the free list"
does not prove by any means that the
new trust bill 10 better than the, Nc
Kinley bill. Far from it. There are
more articles OF prime necessity on the
free list under the Mckinley bill than
under the new democratic trust bill co
is shown by the fact that the total value
Of articles on which tariff is levied by tie
new law 10 about $65, 100000 more than
under the Mckinley law, hence the
lower average rate. 1t is simply O.
without reduction as q whole,
and the income tax had to be introduced
TO accomplish it. The Al. ought to be
manly enough to condemn the action OF
It's party or get out OF it, and not make
such a pitiable whine and craven de
tense.
