Once upon time, said ex-Congress- man Peel of Arkansas at the Metropoli- tan. ''I heard Mir Lanham of Texas, then a congressman, say to his colleague and friend Colonel Oulberson that it would be better for both of them to re- tire from political life and return to their homes and make some money from the practice of their profession.
 "'You know, Culberson, said Lan- ham, that 80, 900 year hardly pays the expenses of living in Washington, and as for saving anything, that is inn possible. Both of us can make more money than that practicing law.

STRIKING CONTRASTS.
Dominating Influences of the Two National
 Conventions.

 Dominating Influences of the Two National
 Conventions.
 The Democratic convention was Q great tumultuous body of earnest men, who fought for their convictions and either triumphed in glory or fell strug- gling, uneonquered to the last.
 The Republican convention was body of meg who gathered greedily to carry out tE decree of their masters in order that they might share in the spells of political plunder if their masters won success.
 The one was cut and dried affair, commonplace and conventional.
 The other was the battlefield.
 The other was extraordinary in new leaders, new expedients and new spirit, although pledging itself to the restora- tion of an old principle.
 The one was a market place, where principles were bartered and sold, nom- nations put up at auction.
 Republicanism was inert, suppressed and lethargic in its last convention, while Democracy was electric and re- sponsiye to the public demands.
 St. Louis was graveyard.
 Chicago was cradle.
 The old Republicanism died.
 The new Democracy was born. - Omaha World Herald.

ThE QUESTION OF INTEREST
slrowing How the Credit System rmpoyer-
 fshes the Masses.

tsDG8 tnH HiASheh.
 If is claimed that from 95 to 97 per cent of the business done in this country is done on credit. We find that nearly all business men are borrowers. A is farmer and has to borrow money to carry on his business. He goes to his banker, borrows money at per cent, adds cents to every dollars worth of wool, for instance, that he raises sells to B, manufacturer, who is also bor- rover. B adds s cents and sells to c, iobber, who adds his 8 cents and sells to D, wholesaler, who adds his s cents and sells to E, the retailer, and E, being 8 borrower, adds his per cent interest. We find that in going the rounds from producer to consumer there has to be paid 40 cents interest on every dollar. You buy suit of clothes from the re- taller for $20. You pay $8 interest, whether you are aware of it or not, and this interest money goes into the hands of class of people who do not add one dollar to the wealth of the country. h. terest is like a lot of bloodsuekers on healthy child. 1t cannot maintain itself and supply the ravenous capacities of the bloodsuckers. The amount the indus tries of the country are taxed annually to pay interest is appalling. If we take the total indebtedness in this country, which amounts to at least $40, 900, 000,- GOO, and average the rate of interest at T per cent, we find the resources of the country are taxed $2, 800, 900, 900 annu- ally, which is $1, 200, 900, 900 more than there is ill the United States. When we stop to realize that the function of money is simply medium of exchange to facilitate the exchange of the products of labor. the great injustice of varying rates of interest is apparent. For in- stance, q man doing business i'll New York borrows money at per cent, and one borrowing in another state pays 10 per cent. The interest on $1, 900 for 50 years at per cent compounded amounts to$18, 900, while loaned the same way for the same time at 10 per cent it amounts to S117, 900, difference of $99, 900 in favor of the man borrowing at 6 per cent.

FACT AGAINST FANCY.
Cold Comfort For Those Who Want High
 CT Protective Duties.

Cold Comfort For Those Who Want High
 CT Protective Duties.
 The MeKinleyites are elamoring that heavier tariff taxes are necessary in or der to make our iron and steel industries prosperous and are trying to delude the people into believing that the Wilson law has closed our furnaces, rolling mills and forges. AS the average voter is not in a position to keep informed in regard to details of industries outside of that in which he is engaged, these re- peated assertions of business depression for iron and steel makers have in some quarters been believed. The simple pub icatlon of the official statistics will show that, instead of being injured by the Wilson tariff, the iron and steel in- dustries are more prosperous than ever before.
 The production of iron for 1S95 was 9. .446, sos tons the largest in the history of this or any other country. This tre- mendous output was 2,789,92 more than were produced in the United States in 1894, and 2,821, 806 tons more than in 1898. Since the Mckinley law was in force during all of 1893 and eight months of 1894, these figures give cold comfort to the politicians who claim that heavy taxes help iron makers.
 In steel the increase in production has been equally great In 1S95 the total production of bessemer and open hearth steel was 6, 046, BIO tons, an increase of 1,690, 061 tons over 1894, and 3, 092, 734 more than in 1893. This is the greatest annual product of steel on record in the world, and shows that under the Wilson law the steel industry fourished as never before.
 So long as the Republican parrots oonfine themselves to repeating their one cry, Protection and prosperity,' they will amuse the people and perhaps influence a few needless voters. But whenever they appeal to facts the off eial figures will hatten them out by showing that the country's greatest manufacturing industries have been more prosperous under the Wilson tariff than under the Mckinley law.

THE NEW REVOLUTION.
John Russell Foung's Note of Alarm In
 the New York Herald.


 When John Russell Young writes for the New York Herald, be knows he must not take position contrary to the policy of the paper, which is controlled s'body and soul'' by the money power. He does, however. give warning to his masters that the new revolution is like that of 1860, and that the people of the country are in alliance for Her condi- tions Here is what he says 22pout Can didate Bryan:
 The campaign against MT. Bryan cannot be made upon personal lines, nor will it succeed upon any theory of belittling the candidate or his cause He is very young man to govern the councils of nation. We'll. so were William Pitt and Bolingbroke and Lord Randolph Churchill. Sheridan, Mic Pherson and Stonewall Jackson in the civil war were young men. In nation of young men it is dangerous to assail candidate because of his years. Youth has it's camaraderie and a tendency to tread on the heels of those who go be. fore it unless they hustle out of the way. Nor must we resent the proposal of MT. Bryan to stump the states. Douglas did the same thing ill that for lorn, passionate campaign of 1860, when he stroye to stay the secession move ment.
 Nor can & canvass be made upon the theory that Bryan has been equivooal, that he sometimes wabbled in his De- moeraey, and that he has wanted to in- wade Populist and other watermelon patches. Republicans have pardoned too much wabbling among their own l leaders to catechise their opponents. Nor can Bryan be criticised because of want of head He has probably as much head as nine-tenths of the oandf- dates who have ever run for the posi- 1 tion. And if there be in his speeches a tendency toward foam and fustian, re- member that they swayed vast and remarkable body of men. Speeches must not be valued because of their impress sion upon the student in his closet, but from their effect upon 6 throng. I never could see much ill the way of cogent. mind convincing oratory in Patrick Henry's declamation about liberty or death, , yet it precipitated a revolution.
 1T am writing this because there could be no graver mistake than for Re- publioans to undervalue the Democratic campaign or belittle the candidate. !"
