their worship for gold into a craze,
by demanding that gold shall virtu-
ally be the only currency. Now that
money is the best money, be it gold,
silver or paper, which is freely ac-
cepted in any part OF the world with
out Impairment OF value"
Here Mr.. Eddy saved himself from
any suspicion OF dogmatism by re-
marking: "Thny say that can dis
agree with more men, not only III the
Democratic party, bus in my own
party, than any other man in the
house." And once more he looked
pleased.
From Sweden to Glenwoou, Mimi,
is a tar cry, yet there was evidently
some connection between The two III
Mr.. Eddy's mind for he presently said
that it WAS not generally known that
the Populist party had it's rise in his
district /. few years ago, through GER
tain members OF the Farmers AL
lance nominating a political ticket
in defiance OF the rules OF that order.
Populisn, by the way, he thinks is
on the wane as Il distinct organiz;e-
ton. To his mind it struck twelve
in 1896. And yet he believes that
there will be fusion both III the state
and in his congressional district tGls
fall. What then will be the issue dur
ing the coming campaign? he was
asked.
NO MORE TARIFF.
"You are referring to national is
sues in the congressional contests, "
he retorted; "w2l], then, it wont be
the tariff. Let me tell you one thing.
the tariff will never again be an Issue
in this country. That much is set
tied. Take the Younger Democrats
in the house, for inst;4nc..: Bailey, of
Texas, and StaIlnSs, Of Alabama,
or coming senators like Culbertson,
OF Texas; they are all protectionists
at heart. The free trade men are the
old men. Of course, there will be To-
cal differences about schedules, and
these will change us administrations
change; but never again will you see
a campaign fought on the tariff; Re-
publicans and Democrats think too
much alike"
Having showed the tariff down in
to political limbo, Mr.. Eddy took IL
fresh twist, a comfortable sort OF a
CONFUSION in its way, and added that
the congressional fall campaign
would be Il renewal Of the currency !

to settle the tariff question: he
unused; land we will fight for thirty
years more if necessary for sound
money! And he seemed to be cal
culating the product OF 30 by 1876,
and wondering whether the free-cnp-
per illustration would hold out that |
many times.
Mr.. E,ldy's committee on public
lands has been busted this session
over the ACCESSIBILITY ofadopting the
public lands laws to the territory of |
Alaska: and has finally reported in
favor of extending those regarding
the homesteads and providing for
right Of way for railroads.
Mr.. Eddy is also IL member Of the |
committee on Indian affairs, as one
might readily Judge from the big
chiefs who call on him at the house
for admission to he private gallery,
where they view the cou neil of the
pale-face with stolid contempt.
Mr.. Eddy has been long enough in
service to know how to make himself
felt, and his marked individualitips
aid him in doing so. He is by no
means an obscure member. When
he speaks he is listened to; when he
seeks he is apt to find. There are
many who laugh at him, vet they re-
spect him, too. In fact there is a
good deal ofsthe prickIy pear about
Mr.. Eddy in appearance, manners,
qualities and deeds.
