THE Pittsburg [Pa.l Post

THE Pittsburg (Pa.) Post in
discussing the popularity and the
familiarity in the greeting Of the
great orator and statesman, W.
j. Bryan, says: "The laborer
drops his pick, the mechanic
leaves his work bench, the farmer
hastens from the field, the small
retailer quits his counter, and the
railroads break ranks to take him
by the hand and cheer him by
encouraging words. This is the
case wherever he appears-North
OF South, East or West. It's the
people who assemble to give him
''the glad hand" and the same
cheerful modesty and. good fell
lowship is always in evidence in
Bryan. AS Artemus Ward puts
it, she never slops ever" and
yet is always genial, hearty and
frank. He is discreet and saga
cious from his own standpoint
at all times.''

The Atlanta Constitution con-

THE Atlanta Constitution con-
tends that the final effect of the
new republican tariff law will be
to make times harder in all lines
of trade, while its political effect
will be very happy. 1t will show
the people, especially the manu-
facturers, that protection for
prtection's sake is a fraud that
does violence to both justice and
common honesty. 1t will open
their eyes to the fact that when
our currency system is out of
gear, the tariff is imperative;
and a tariff that is imperative
possesses no claims for those
who advocate protection solely
for selfish and personal reasons.
The new bill will show the work.
ingmen and wage-earners that a
protective tariff does not promote
their interests. Therefore, it
may be said that the Mckinley
administration will accomplish at
least one good and desirable re-
suit. 1t will open the eyes of the
people to the folly and fraud of
protection for projections sake.
AS for the manufacturers, who
have been so busily engaged in
arranging the amount of spoils
they propose to exact from the
public, they will no doubt be
surprised when they find that
they have prepared for them
selves a Barmecide feast. Their
surprise will be worth some
thing if it shall induce them to
turn their attention to the real
cause of their troubles-the con-
stantly Increasing value of the
dollar.

THE Smootville Sharpshooter
says: "We wish to announce
that in future we will not receive
any wood on subscription unless
it is chopped. Some thief stole
our ak, and besides, our wife is
so busy working the garden,
tending the cotton patch, milking
the cows, doing the washing,
cooking the victuals, making
clothes for US and the children,
mixing the forms for US on press
days, etc., that she hasn't much
time to chop wood. 1t may
appear a little extravagant to buy
wood already chopped, but we
don't want our wife to have too
much work to do, for we promised
to love and protect her, and we
are going to do it or bust a
gallus."

TEXAS Farm and Ranch says:
"When wealth accumulates, men
decay. These are not the words
of the poet, but embody his burn
ing thought. That it is true
is proven by completed his
tory and confirmed by history
now in process of manufacture.
Nations emerge slowly from bar
barism to civilization; to wealth;
from wealth to luxury, and sink
from luxury to effeminacy, and
from effeminacy to ruin. Then
after cropping in darkness, the
dim light of distant civilization.
Wealth abounds beyond any
thing that Cresus ever knew,
and a purse-proud folly and cor
ruption that rivals anything
Helliogabalus ever did. The
money changers are converting
it into den of thieves. Where
is the political messiah to scourge
them hence and with whip of
scorpions pursue their lingering

its mission and then-succumbed
to the inevitable. It takes
money, and good pile of it too,
10 run a morning paper; yet
there are some men who believe
that they can be successfully en-
gineered on brass, cheek and
wind. What sad mistake.

MEYER in the history of this
country, says the Suffolk (Va.)
Herald, has there been such a
popular demonstration and a rush
of the people to do honor to a
private citizen as has been shown
everywhere and on every occa-
sion where Hon. William J. Bryan
appears. Lincoln never had such
crowds, nor has any American
citizen been awarded such evil
dences of esteem and apprecia-
ton by the masses. as has been
showered upon the late candidate
of the Democratic party for the
Presidency, and it is not to be
wondered at when the honesty
and sincerity of purpose and up
rightness of the man are consid-
cred. He is indeed a man of the
people, gifted in speech and the
possessor of an honest heart and
level head that will win for the
people their righteous cause.

THE Quanah Observer, a very
PRETTY gotten up weekly paper,
published at Quanah, Hardeman
county, Texas, has reached our
sanctum. Miss K. c. Perry is
the editor and is an industrious
hustler after news, judging from
the sample copy before us. We
place the Observer on our x list
and wish the editress success.
