FOREIGNERS AND pRoyrs.

In the speech which Mr. Bryan de-
Hvered at Wilmington, Del, on Mon
day, there were two points which are
particularly interesting, because they
are of the boomerang order. Mr.. BRYAN
is not careful TO see that what he saws
On any question will agree with what
he said the day before, of what he
proposes to say the day after. On
this occasion, however, he took extra
pains to demolish his own work. He
has been proc1aiming for the last
sixty days everywhere his hatred and
distrust OF the foreigner. Is not the
American nation great enough. and IN
dependent enough, he says. to manage
its own affairs? He has even aslsed
that the people who think that other
nations may know something about the
financial question should wear a ticket
in their hats inscribed with that in
formation Mr.. Bryan read to his an
dienee letter from Prince Bismarck.

just imagine for one moment that Mr..
Mckinley and Republican congress
had come into power last year. and
had passed high tariff act, going
into effect ON the LIST OF January 1896.
Imagine the figures ten feet high, in
which the statistics which we have
just quoted would be pIacarded all
over the country. And people would
be convinced by them, too. Here your
high tariff orator would say, Is the
absolute demonstration of the efficacy
of protection. A year ago we brought
from abroad $1,000, 900 more of goods
of free trade. The farmer came in
and captured the home market. Now
we have shut him out. We have put
up the bars against imports. As a
consequence of 1T, see how we have
revolutionized trade, have cut down
the business of our foreign competi-
tors, and have actually sold 500, 000,-
600 worth abroad more than we have
All Tie S1OIicS u plO-
lection! Halielujah and amen.
Yet the fact is that this tremendous
change, one of the greatest recorded in
our commercial history, has come
about under the operation Of a tariff
law which these same orators are
-berating today from one end of the
country to the other as hostile to
American industry and as virtual free
trade" Under this Democratic tariff
act, which we are told has prOtrated
American industry and substituted i'm
ports from abroad for sales Of our
own products, we find change In our
favor of $780, $1,000 within eight
months Of time, producing gold
movement toward this country which
has stopped the sale of bonds, restored
the treasury reserve and done more
than all else to allay public excite
ment and apprehension. Hereafter,
we trust that this illustration will not
be forgotten when the high tariff adj
vocate begins to get in his work by
harping upon statistics of imports and
| exports as affected by tariff legisla-
ton.

THE FUTURE is IT'S OWN.

Last night the candidates of the Ma
tional Democracy accepted the nominal
lions offered to them in speeches whose
every word rings true 1t was a grand
and Impressive sight when thousands
gathered to hear the two veterans ac-
cept the trust confided to them, and to
raise the standard of Democracy as
and fought for it. 1t was impressive
and inspiring most Of all because it
proved that the force Of moral ideas
still dominates the people Of this
mighty nation, as it must until they
are ready to decay and sleep with the
governments that have persisted of
their own unworthiness 1t was be-
cause, in it's giant struggle against
slavery, the Republican party won this
title that it endured and triumphed for
so long after it had ceased to merit
moral ideas is the password to the
hearts of the American people. They
who dare to speak it have but to wait
and trust for the future that is all
their own.
Here, at last, after years of disap-
pointment and disgust, the American
voter may find once more a party that
stands for the moral idea in politics.
There is no lust for office in this move
ment. No man connected with it
hopes for reward. To many their allie
glance Is won by q tremendous sacri
ice. They have had to cut away past
associations and hopes of future prefer
ment. Everything that is to be gained
by political association, in the material
sense, must be denied Then, with the
corrupting hope and fear that the pros
pect of office hangs over the hearts and
consciences OF men, see how brightly

striction Of legislation to its properly

straints on trade and human action.
The equal protection of ALL the destruc-
ton of paterna1ism and class interest
in legislation together. These declara-
lions mark the glorious return to the
faith of the fathers. They announce
the renaissance Of Democracy. These
white-haired men, who give this old
new party to the people, sound out the
challenge that can never die. No mat
ter what betide us now, by this sign

TEACHER TOLD TO GO.
Notified by sheehan That He Must
Resign.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22-John c. Shee-
han, leader Of Tammany hall, and
representing the twelve state com
m1tteemen In that organization, has
just telegraphed John Boyd Thatcher
demanding his resignation from the
head OF the state democratic ticket
on the ground that his letter, issued
last Sunday night is qualification
OF the platform adopted at Buffalo.
FOLLOWING Is the text Of the dispatch:
To John Boyd Thacher:
When the friends of the democratic platform
adopted at Buffalo, stood in doubt as to the
propriety OF nominating a gentleman who had
previously occupied a position adverse to the
leading tenets OF the party as declared in
national convention. it was repeatedly assured
by your representatives that you would stand
fairly and sQuarely upon the Buffalo platform
which most alphabetically indorsed fI1e orla
adopted at Chicago.
No man who knows John Boyd Thacher''
they said, will doubt for an instant that be-
fore permitting his name to be brought before
this convention, he has resolved his doubts a.
to the expediency Of free silver and Is pre-
pared to stand in all fairness upon the Mat
from this day adopted copies of which tina
Associated Press has placed in his hands,
In view OF your letter to the public | feel
sure That you are not aware OF the pledges
then made in your name, and that once in
possession Of the facts you will take the re-
qulred measures to prevent the qualification
OF those who pressed your claims upon the
convention.
(Signed) JOHN C. SHEEHAN

Thatcher was asked by a reporter of
the Associated Press today IL had any

ans contempt for the opinion of such
slave of the gold power would
have been too great for adequate ex-
preston. When 1t is an opinion that
fits with his desire, Mr. Bryan accepts
it without question and lauds the man
great qualities, Is certainly least COM
petent OF all to understand or sympa-
thize with the American idea. The step
from the sublime to the ridiculous Is
taken In the next sentence, where Mr..
Bryan says that class is arrayed
against class in the United States;
and when asked to prove it, says that
class is arrayed against class in Ger
many, next after Russia the most au-
tocratic monarchy in Europe, and cites
Prince Bismarck to prove it, This Pc
culiarly Bryanese logic needs no COM
ment from us.
If Mr.. Bryan is unique in his re-
marks on foreigners. he Is equally at
home in his division of the public into
producers and drones'' He makes
quite speech, indeed, about drones,
which is mostly foolish where he in
tended 1t to be funny. There is this re-
mark about the drone, however, which
we find well worth quoting, Il will bet
you that if the drone were in politics,
party lines would not weigh very much
with him, where he had an interest on
the other side This seems to us a
f1ashlight photograph of the speaker.
What has Mr.. Bryan done to rank him
self with the producer instead Of with
the drones? What has he been pro-
ducing in all these years past save
wind and words? If drone be man
whom party ties will not bind against
self-interest is Mr.. Bryan not drone?
Did he not formally leave the Demo-
| cratic party because he had an interest
on the other side? Did he he not have
the same reason when he declared last
March: 81 am not a Democrat?" Do
| not party ties mean so little to him
that he said, both before and since his
nomination, that he would have fought
ehC DCiiiOCIdC eliu lis CdlluludtcS IL
they had not favored silver monomet-
allism? In his word-picture of the
drones Mr.. Bryan has admirably re-
produced his own characteristics. His
speech at Wilmington Is really the best
of the many arguments which he has
advanced on the platform to show why
he should not be elected president.

day last is from the Vicksburg Com
mercial-HeraId, and seems to be lit
lie mixed. S. w. Green aud his
crowd were for Reed aud the Cooke
crowd for Mckinley when they left
Providence bat the proceedings show
that they have sw apped horses.
The Reed and Mckinley forces met
at Delta, La, in the fifth district Re-
publican Convention yesterday and a
split resulted, Last night each side
claimed the victory and that the other
represents the rump only and very
small one at that. There were contest
ing delegations from East Carroll,
Madison, Tensas and Concordia, and
it was in settling their pretensions
that the break occurred. The McKin-
ley wing went off aud elected j. B.
Donnally and S. w. Green delegates
to the National Convention, and To-
structed for Warmoth SIS delegate at
large.
The Reed faction, whose members
are positive that they were the conven-
ton, went off aud elected w. ii. Nc
Weigh, chairman, and NJ. G. Bobe, Sec
rotary. Having made the temporary
organization permanent they then
proceeded to elect G. g. Green, of
Lincoln and David Young, of Concor-
dis, delegates to the National Conven-
ton, and to instruct for Kellogg as
delegate at large. They chose as
alternates NJ. G. Bobe aud Wash Mel
lum. They claim that the condition
of their opponents aud their hopeless
minority is shown by their choosing
two delegates and one alternate from
the same parish. The Mckinley men
are equally positive in asserting that
they are the people.

We, the undersigned, take this opportu-

zeDs OF Providence for the assistance rend-
cred US in the late fire, and to especially
thank the fire department for the prompt
ness and success in saving property.
We desire further to express our graft.
tude for the manner in which our furniture
was handled-not one piece being broken
in the excitement which is attendant upon
ali such occasions.
Certainly there is more than one good
Samaritan" this was verified by the kind
ness shown us when driven out by the
demon fire on Sunday, Jan. 18th. Not only
words OF consolation were offered, but
many offers were made to share their
'roostsv and '.lemon pie" which were en-
joyed with as much relish as the one Tom
ate during the fire, nay more, home was
offered until other arrangements could be
made.
Fortunately by the noble efforts of the
firemen the house was saved, and we re-
turned until more comfortable quarters
could be secured.
"Aunt Jane" offers thanks for saving her
pipe.
Friends, we thank you.
