Nr. Hills intention to outline his posi-
Hion very categorically. Such "A step
might, indeed. SAVIOR of indelicacv. But
he has been obliged latterly to let it be
known to his Jealous supporters in the
rural portions OF his own state that he
Is not a presidential candidate. Sur
prising as 1t may be to many who have
watched the senator's career with In
terest, he has deliberately taken him
eelf out of the field.
It may be thought little odd that IN
his recent letter on the presidential
prospects Mr.. Hill did not state his
own position more definitely. For that
omission there are two reasons. In the
first place, Mr.. HUI could not advise
:; rainst the selection Of New York
1 N without rejecting upon his own
= %. The Senator's view, as outlined
personal T. ads and repeated in po-
Itical gatherings, is that New York is
now looked upon as the stronghold of
the money power. and that any man
put forward 10y the Empire state would
arouse the hostility of strong element
in the south and west. Again. Mr.. Hill
could not disc,aim any intention to be
president without seeming enormously
egotistical. Il will be recalled that
Mr. Cleveland has authorized a repeti-
ton Of the statement that he will not
be candidate next year. For Mr. Hill
TO follow with a similar declaration
would be in the nature of an anti
climax.
Mr. Hills position on the income tax
led to a curious exchange of views
when he was in New York Here is the
conversation. as repeated in the demo-
cratic clubs, not verbatim. but in sub
stance:
Senator, You are making many enc
mics by opposing the income tax"
We'll, making enemies is a gentle
art"
But is it eXpedient?"
ITO do what you think is right is al.
ways expedient. \ man, as Bismarck
says, should act in any lawful way
that he considers good for his country,
even in the feee of a majority"
Whatever may be the result Of the
political maneuvers now transpiring,
1t is not likely that Senator Hill will
lift a finger In them. 1t is certainly a
fact that he does not want to be the
next democratic candidate for the
presidency. But the effort to spread
this belief affords its propagators what
is known in politics as a monkey and
parrot sort OF time, figure of speech
now very freely applied to the political
situation in New York.

persons might think were meant to be

quantity of the stuff gathered in at
the top with a big bow of ribbon and
with a broad ruffle frilled about the

inappropriate with tailor gown.

get control of the positions Of power In
the affairs Of government, and with
that smooth hypocrisy that has always
been the peculiar faculty of the avari-
cious and conscienceless ghoul, began
the endless campaign of protection for
property that has run to such lengths
in this land of the free that the land
has become an absolutely free field for
the most gigantic aVarice that the
world has ever witnessed.
How has all this come to psssp By
the unseen and unfelt, but constantly
aggressive power of the tyranny Of
conventionslism. This tyranny scored
its first victory in our national life
when in old Liberty hall it compelled
Thomas Jefferson to omit from the
immortal declaration the clause that
struck at chsttel slavery; and another
victory was won when that same power
put it into the constitution that no act
Of congress should prohibit the i'm
pOrtstion Of slaves till the year 1903.
Then again we see it victorious In the
Missouri compromise Of 1921, and again
in the Kansas. Nebraska bill of 1854,
and the Dred Scott decision of 1867.
And with the civil war and It's results
tho people thought again that it had
been destroyed when slavery had been
abolished;
But, to take up another line. Near
the close of the revolutionary war in
1881, that noble patriot, Robert Nor
ris, established the first bank in the
United States, and as secretary of the
treasury, with his own resources and
generosity, aided the government to
carry the expenses of the war. In 1898
Alexander Hamilton, a patriotic states
man who was unconsciously largely
dominated by this same reverence for
the old established order of statecraft,
recommended and secured the estab-
lishment of the first United States
bank which began business in Feb.
rusry, 1894. Men like Jefferson, who
were tree from such tyranny, succeeded
in limiting the charter of the bank to
1911. But by the time the charter ex-
pired, forces for its renewal were
strong, and in spite of Jefferson and
his compstriots, second bank was
chartered in 1916 for twenty years, and
it grew in its tyrannical power till it
required the iron will Of President
Jackson to overthrow it in 1888. You
are well familiar with the victory this
same mslign influence won in Febru-
sry, 1862, when it bsrgained for the
exception clause on the greenbsck, and
in the credit-strengthening act Of 1869,
the demonetization Of silver in 1874,
and the subsequent acts against the
interests of the nation in monetary leg
islation.
In the early history of tariff legisla.
tion there were q few statesmen who
saw the danger, and warned against it,
but it was nevertheless put into opera
tion and as it continued and proved
advantageous to certain classes, they
began to clsmor for protection and
more protection until in 1916 the pro-
tectiVe idea was enacted into law and
it has grown In power and inSolence
from that day to this. 1t is true, there
