remembered that the jury disagreed and
no verdict was reached.
II is difficult, always, for an outsider

one thing Is sure. there are as many

there are 10 q marble.

Ills politics are answering and Intense.
He prefers his own political household

spheres OF activity. He has earned some
first class cnmitics by his political yir.

We do not imagine for one minute
that this prosecution has no politics In

(\ew Ork Commercial Advertiser
One of the most notable fpa lures of
the tariff hearings has been the modera-
ton generally displayed by the petition
ers who have appeared before the COM
mittcr. With the single exception of
the SpOkcSmen employed by the Wool
Growers association. not Il single impor-
tant interest has made extravagant de
mandS upon Chairman Dingley and his
assistants. 1t should he remembered.
moreover. that the wool growers have
been subject to heavy and unjust losses
by the frrC-woOl section of the Wilson
tariff and that they are chiefly men of
small means. to whom the income de-
rived from their sheep was an exceeding
~ important item. 1t is not strange
that many farmers. smartng under the
wrongs which ruinOus Democratic legiS-
laticn has inflicted on them. should ask
for virtually prOhibtory rates on one of
their leading products. So long as hui
man nature remains what it is. such Il
result was inevitable SnecrS and SCOTS

1t is by no means certain. however
that majority of American sheep own

Judge Lawrence when he urged a duty
of n cents per pound on Australian
wool: ard it may be taken for granted

will peacefully acquieSCe in the moderate

dOubtedly form a part of the new tariff

There are two sorts of Democrats. and

Mr.. Bryan has been trying TO talk

at least in the attitude of the giyer of

al home to the support of the government
TO allow people outside of that govern
ment to come in and do business in com
petition with those who do pay taxes,
without contributing in some way to the
support of the government. Therefore
governments have for centuries insisted
upon placing a tax upon articles coming
in from abroad. thus accomplishing the
first object and at the same time adding
TO Che revenues of the government. This
view has been modified i'll TWO ways;
first. bv the class known as free trad
ers. who insist that the tariff should not
be used to protect those citizens of the
home government who help support it but
that the taxes should be placed upon
those articles which everybody must use
and thus distribute the burden of raising
revenue among all the people of the home
government. The pTOtectiOniStS believe
that the tax should be so levied that those
outsiders coming in to engage in the adj
VantageS of trade among our people
should pay 4 proper share of the expenses
of the government of that people with
whom they thus have advantage of trade
and that the tax should also be so adj
juSted as TO prevent ruinOus competition
by outsiders with the people ut home
who manufacture goods and thus give en-
ployment TO the people of their own cOun-
try.
: There are two general methods of fix,
ing the rate of tariff taxation which shall
be levied upon goods coming into the
country. One of these is known as the
lad valOrcm' method; the other Is known
as the specific" method. BY the al va
loren system the custom house officers
are required To collect as the tariff 4
given percentage of the actual value of
the goods imported. BY the specific Sys>

Day banquet in Chicago was in line
with all his other dcliverances since his
defeat in November. He purposes. if
his own efforts will bring il about. to
have the Chicago platform of 1896 re-
affirmed by the Democratic convention
of 1900. As Gov. Altgcld also spoke
during the evening. it may he taken for
granted that Mr.. Bryan will not object
to the reaffirmatiOn of the free riot as
we'll as the free silver plank. He be-
lieves the Democratic party must make
free silver its single issue; second. that
he will remain with it only so long as
it sticks To that issue. and. third. that he
will abandon the party. as he said Il
year ago he would do. if il should
change its mind and declare for the
gold standard. In other words. Il,
Bryan. am the Democracy or as Il
sovereign of France once remarked:
Il am the state" The cool effFontery
of the ambitious NcbraSkan. the intenS-
ity of his belief that his word and his
wish should he the rule of the party.
and his SuDcrlativ" rgntiSm were never
more sharply manifested. And yet it
was only four years ago that he left
the Democratic ranks to fight under
the banner of Weaver. the greenbacker
should win in 1900. What would Mr..
Bryan advise that the Democratic par
~ take up next: or. if il should be de-
fcatCd. in what direction would he steer
the ship But-dies irae. dies la!-sup-
pose Mr.. Bryan should die in the
mCantime-what would the Democratic
party do. not knowing his wishes as to
another ISSUE" As he has put himself
in the place of Jefferson and Jackson
he ought not to delay in preparing Il
chart for the future. 1t is too risky Il
thing for the party Ia hang it's destinieS
upon the life of an individual or upon
Il single issue.
But the part of his speech which was
most impressive was that in which he
felicitated his worShiperS upon the fail
IRE of sixteen banks since the election.
The fact that 10000 other banks are
continuing to do business and declaring
dividends was calmly ignored. for he had
found one of these banks which failed
because of inability to realize upon it's
assets. Upon this he dwclt with great
joy. All of Bryan'S addresses are
marked by this trick of the demagOgue--
from exceptions. He sets |
up straw men 10 knock them down and |
is content if the grOundings laugh. |
though the iudiciOus gricvP. But in do |
ing these things he exposes himself as |
an imDlacablC and vicious enemy of in |
duStrial and commercial peace His at |
titude is the same as that of the Anar- !
