We Lead,

The trade in furniture. There
isn't much need for our saying this,
for everybody knows it. Why do
we lead Because we sell elegant,
artistic and durable goods, at prices
that cause economy itself to wonder.
Our larger sales enable us to do
this. Dealers cannot compete with
US. Bad for other dealers, we know
but 1t is a law of trade. Some one

ined IT 1ustifes the unpleasant conclusion that
che is irving to hold the sealing question over
this country as a whip with which to drive the
Tinted States into such courses as she desires
ON other subjects II that indeed be the case,
Il Is time to remember that there are other
whips than those made Of sealskin. The United
States might decide as has already been prac-
tIcally proposed, to kill off all the seals That
would end the Canadian sealing industry for
ever, and inilict serious blow upon the London
fur market. Or II might abrogate the railroad
bonding privilege. as many leading men at
washington have for some time been urging the
Government TO do. That would mean great
losses. If not actual ruin, to the Canadian rail-
road systems. When 1t comes to using whips
It will be found that two can do 1t rs well as
one. and that the larger and stronger can WELD
the heavier whip. But that Is not worthy
course for friendly nations to pursue. 1t Is GER
tainly not the course the United States would
choose This country believes in reciprocal
benefits rather than in retaliation, and 1t Will be
sincerely disappointed If Canada shows herself
otherwise disposed.

balances essential to the orderly and stable
conduct of government would be swept away,
and one substituted by the side of which the
French Convention would seem conservative.
Thus OF the eight articles Of the Populist
creed four are absolutely Illogical and vicious;
two are of doubtful value and expediency and
two are essentially impracticable. 1t is con-
ceiyabe that some Of the men who put this
programme forward are honest in their belief In
il as a panacea for all public ills. 1t is equally
conceivable that there are men who honestly
believe in the possibility OF mans lifting him
self by his bOostraps. Neither offers one good
reason why intelligent men should adopt such
n belief. Both are significant chiefly as proof
OF the need of a higher standard OF popular edu-

POPULISM EYPOCNDED.

The Populist programme Is again set forth. II
Is not the hybrid 'Popocratic" programme Of
the Good Lord, good devil type, designed
simply to catch votes but the straight simon
pure, middle-of- the-road article, expressing the
beliefs and intentions OF those Populsts who
have, or think they have principles and convic-
tons superior to mere desire for office holdin,.
1t does not greatly differ from former utterances
Of that party, but It is framed with more than
ordinary terseness and explcitness, and 1t Is
put forward not in the heat and hurry OF a
political campaign. but with all possible calm
ness at time Of undisturbed deiberation. 1t
Is Of value, therefore, as an authoritative re-
m!nder Of the real purposes of the Popust move
ment.
The first article In the programme Is n de-
mand for absolute paper money" based not
upon a coin reserve, but upon every COM
modify and resource of the Nation" which Is
to be full legal tender for all purposes. That
is to say, fiat money in its baldest and most
extreme FORM BY simply printing the words
Zone Dollar upon bit OF paper the Govern
ment IS to make it n dollar as absolutely as n
gold dollar Is. This precious currency Is not,
however TO supersede CON- but to circulate side
by side with It. Gold and silver are to be coined
freely at the ratio OF sixteen TO one and the
Government is to pay Its coin debts with either,
ut Its own option. 1t is apparently supposed
that gold dollars and fiat paper dollars would
be and remain OF equal value and equal ac-
ceptabty. This is to be assured by the prac-
tical abolition Of the present banking system
and the vestlng Of all banking business In the
Government itself. Every man who wants to
get note discounted or TO raise a loan on bond
and mortgage is to apply directly TO the Wash
ington Government.
SO much for finance. In addition to being the
universal banker. the Government is to be the
ator and telephone central" by virtue Of own
ing and managing all those enterprises. Alien
ownership OF land and purchase Of land as an
investment are to be prohibited There Is to be
no ''cOurt-made law" which apparently means
that judges are not to interpret nor to pass upon
the constituionalty Of laws, but are to accept
every product OF a Popullst legislature at Its
face value--iat law like fat money--and are
to have no power to enforce their DEGREES Trusts
are to be abolished, whether merely combna
lions Of employers or Of employees as well does
not appear. And to insure the smooth working
Of the whole scheme. the initiative, the referen-
dun and the imperative mandate are to be
adopted. so that II ever the people Of a State
under the influence Of temporary conditions or
momentary passion should vote to overturn the
Constitution itself, the Legislature and courts
would have no alternative but to carry out the
decree. Thus the whole system Of checks and

Is that the documents are as much alike In out

The Metropolitan Magazine says of
this honor and of the life and work of
Booker Washington: It was the first
time in the history of a New England
university that a colored man was
chosen to be thus honored, and when
Booker T. Washington came forward
to accept his degree from the hand of
President Eliot the enthusiasm of the
audience was at the highest pitch. But,
as it was remarked at the time, liar
ward University honored itself, as we'll
as the object of it's distinction, when it
conferred the honorary degree of Mas
ter of Arts on the principal of Tuske-
gee Industrial Institute" It was the
spontaneous recognition from the great
struggle of the ex-slave and the work
he has accomplished for his race.
Booker Washington himself, in his
work for humanity, finds it impossible
to recognize differences of race. Il

pathize with the white man as much as
l can with black. To me a man is
but a man for "a that"
His outburst of eloquence at the At
lanta Exposition, when he spoke in be-
half of his people, brought him fame
in a flash, and brought his work, that
had been silently and steadily progress
ing under all sorts of difficulties, into
immediate prominence. The widely
heralded utterance, lin all things that
are purely social we can be as separate
as the fingers, yet one as the hand in
all things essential to mutual pro-
gress,' will go into history as the only
possible solution of the racial question
between the colored and the white
man. AS Booker Washington pro-
nounced these words and waved his
massive hand in the sunlight, the peo-

Mr.. Washington describes this as the
thrilling moment of his life. He says:
"My nervous anxiety at the time was
immense, because no colored man had
ever spoken to white audience in the
same manner And then, after l be-
gan speaking and saw the interest and
surprise and jubilation with which peo-
pie of all classes received it, then it
was l experienced my most thrilling
moment. Them" he continues, my
happiest moment was when an invita-
ton was received from the president
of Harvard University to come there
for degree
1t was before the honorable directors
Of this university that he made use of
the following remarkable declaration:
Gentlemen, there is no escape. Man
drags man down, or man lifts man
up And again, on the same occa-
sion, speaking of his race, he remark
ed: 1--WE are crawling up, waking up
yea, bursting up"
Booker Washington's mother was a
slave. His father was a white man.
