When Mr.. Sahm went out of the postoffice
he was an eager aspirant for the Demo-

two weeks later he was declared to be out
OF the race. Judge Brown started in some

to obtain the Democratic nomination fer
one of the judgeships. Last week his with
drawal was announced in two or three lines.

those duties, foreign and domestic, which
appertain to independent governments, and
it appearing that there is no longer any

A few days ago the chief of yellow news
papers, the New York Journal, sent a re-
porter to Mr.. Roosevelt, assistant secretary
of the navy for an interview. He was very
persistent, but Mr.. Roosevelt as persstently
refused. and had no conversation with the
man. Nevertheless, in poster type, an in
terview with the assistant secretary was
spread all over the first page of that paper
Upon it's publication the head Of the Wash
ington bureau wrote Mr.. Roosevelt, giving
him the source of the Journals information
and asking him not to deny the interview.
In reply Mr.. Roosevelt wrote as follows:
Dear Sir-I do not contemplate denying
the story. / already have denied ii in the
most unequivocal termH. The statement in
to-day's paper was absolute falsehood
told your reporter not once, but again and
again. as he was persistent that l would
not give him an interview of any kind. His
conduct was infamous, and you yourselves
should have known that no such interview
as that could possibly have come from me,
If for no other reason than that l have
never given a certificate of character to
your paper. "In your final paragraph you
say that you trust you will not have to
change your opinion of me- / can imagine
nothing which would be of less consequence
to me-" ft

demagogues for the purpose of making po-
would set the people against capitalists by
representing that they would sacrifice ma
tional honor TO commercial considerations.
Commercial considerations are assumed to
control the rich because business may be
interrupted by war. If such should be the
case, who will suffer most? Senator Hanna,
who has been singled out for this attack
on the ground OF commercial considerations,
would suffer through the interruption of the
work of his iron mills and coal mines, but
if these were compelled to suspend opera
tons would not the hundreds of men en-
ployed In them who depend upon weekly
wages for the support of their families be
greater sufferers than the senator? He
would lose the profits of manufacturing
but it is not probable that he would feel
the pinch; but what of the hundreds of men
who must have wages at the end of every
week to buy bread? Bankers who are rep
resented to be moved by commercial consid-
erations receive the deposits of those who
own money and loan them to men who
carry on active business. When they cam
not loan money it is because men who carry
on the great industrial enterprises of the
country cannot sell their products They
close factories, cut down the number of
employees and turn to idleness and want tens
of thousands of people who work for wages.
When the bankers cannot loan money they
may find it necessary to retrench, but when
the hundreds of thousands of men and
women who work for wages lose employ
ment they must face actual want CONNER
cial activity depends upon the sale of the
products OF labor and capital. Depression
comes when those products cannot be mar
keted. When there is no market for those
products labor and capital share the mis-
fortune, but the share of labor is infinitely
greater and more distressing than the share
of capital The small number of men who
with borrowed money and credit purchase
the wheat, cattle and hogs of the Western
farmer and export them would be losers if
war or other calamity should paralyze their
business. but their loss would not be drop
in the bucket compared with that of the
farmers in loss of market, falling prices,
and of the thousands of men employed in
the transportation of the farmers products
The demagogues would have the country
believe that the losses of war would fall
upon those who have large commercial in
terests, and upon no others. The dema-
gogue is the curse of the country-a vastly
greater evil than an occasional war, when
loss of property alone is considered.
