sibly are his supporters do not intend
to help him in the least. / know sew
eral men who wish to be thought Bryan
ties, and yet who will vote for McKin-
ley on the quiet. In talking with one of
this sort not long ago he said as an ex-
PLANTATION of his conduct that he wished
to remain in the democratic party, for
he thought that eventually the party
would abandon free silver and other
populistic notions. He did not believe
the change would come by 1900, and,
therefore, as he wanted the present
prosperous condition to continue, he
would repeat the ballot he cast for
Maj. Mckinley in 1896. He had kept
that fact secret, however, and all his
associates supposed he had voted for
Bryan. The case of this man is by no
means exceptional. Thousands of BUSH

fore party success, and yet who hate
the idea of going over to the opposition
publicly, will talk as though they meant

EVADING THE TARIFF
Importance of the Movement Against
differentiation.
Losses Through This Practice Are
Being Reduced by an Energet-
ic Enforcement of Gus
toms Laws.

Three-fourths of the customs duties
of this country are collected through
the custom house of New York. An
honest administration of the service is
chiefly dependent upon the appraiser at
that port.
An enormous evil, with which the
customs service has been afflicted under
both democratic and republican adj
ministrations, is differentiation. 1t
was Daniel Manning, secretary of the
treasury under Mr.. Cleveland, who
said the government was losing $4o,-
100000 year by reason of the enor-
nous evil of undervaluations at the
port of New York. The loss of money
to the treasury is not the only conse-
quence, but more important conse-
quence is the reward secured to dishon-
esty to the direct injury of honorable
business. There are those who have
been so long engaged in the fraudulent
work of undervaluations that they have
come to believe, apparently, that an at
tempt to compel them to make honest
invoices is an infringement upon their
rights---an unwarrantable interference
with their business.
The present appraiser at New York,
Wilbur f. Wakeman, appointed by Mr.
Mckinley, undertook the serious task
of correcting these abuses, and he has
pursued his work zealously and with
rare intelligence. The assaults upon
him, as a result, have been fierce, and
that he will continue to meet the VIC.
lent opposition of those whose business
he has interfered with is to be expected

A SIGNIFICANT FACT.
Return of Ex-senator PETER to the
Republican Party Proves the Sue
cess of n Protective Tariff.

The announcement made by eX-Sen-
ator PETER, of Kansas, that hereafter he
will again associate himself with the
republican party is full of significance.
Mr.. PETER is one of the most conspicu-
Gus of a large number of voters who
left the republican party because they
thought that prosperity could be
brought back to the country by some
other means than through protective
tariff. Ex-senator PETERS return to
the republican party marks his recogni-
ton of the fact that, as creator of
prosperity, protective tariff is a pre-
eminent success; that the western seek
ers for prosperity are satisfied with the
results which the Dingley law has
brought to pass, and that the place for
those who want the country to continue
in the path of prosperity is with the
party which will continue our present
policy. Ex-senator PETER is but one of
many, conspicuous because of the high
political position which he has held.
With him will be found thousands
upon thousands of his former constitu-
ents who, like him, have decided that
protection is good enough for them.
The policy of protection has always had
the support of large majority of the
people of the country, and it never had
a larger number of supporters than it
has to-day.

CIRCUS FOR CHARITY
New-Fangled Entertainment Quite
Popular in the East.
Some Memories of Dan Rice, the Ven
cradle King of Clowns and Orig
inatOr of the One-HOrse
Show.
Especial Washington Letter

lSPCSidi w ooHih5 loA hCltCl'J
Have you been to the circus this year?
Or hasn't the circus come around yet :?
When some of the fathers and mothers
of the present day were boys and girls
the circuses moved very slowly.
In those good old days the elephants
aided the horses in pulling the wagons
and cages along the country roads, for
the circuses were nomadic caravan
saries. Nowadays the circuses travel
on railroad trains. But from the day the
first bills are posted until the day of the
arrival of the circus is probably just as
long as it used to be to the little ones
of the former generation.
The circuses of the present day are
really travelling vaudeville shows with
animal attachments. The menageries
have become essential features of each
show, but formerly the circus consisted
only of a few trained horses, men and
women riders, ringmaster, single
ring and clown. There were no ex-
pensive adjuncts to the original cir
Gus.
St. Patrick's church in the national
capital has an institute for young men,
n social and educational organization,
called Carroll institute. The young men
give public debates, public entertain
ments, and resort to all manner of
churchly devices for maintaining them
selves in an organization. Not long ago
they gave what they called ga Country
Circus" and it was indeed a very at
tractive affair, worthy OF description.
In large room they erected tent.
When ticket holders entered the door
they stepped beneath the canvas. There
was ring with sawdust' all over it, a
center pole with acrobatic rigging at
tached to it, small brass band dis
coursed circus music, and the tiers of
with boys and girls, and few older
people. AT the appointed hour dozen
men and women, gayly dressed in
tights, mounted on gaudilytrapped
horses, came into the ring from the
dressing-room, and pranced about the
place, just as the genuine actors used
to do, so many years ago. There was a
funny clown, with baggy trousers,
painted face and impudent manners.
There was trick mule, and a seeming
ly drunken man to ride it, who was ar
rested and thrown out by an alleged
policeman.
During the performance a typical
hayseed greenhorn came walking about
the ring. He was warned by the ring
master that he must take seat, so that
other people could see the show. He
paid no heed to the warning, and the
policeman threw him out. AS he went
flying through the door, the big bass
drum sounded, and it seemed as though
the hayseed had fallen down several
flights of stairs.
This is novel sort of performance
and it proved to be so attractive that il
was repeated several times, to please
the public. This fact suggested to the
narrator the idea of writing about it
not merely as a national capital affair
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1899-08-05

The modern circuses are too big
There are three or four rings, and Q
separate performance is conducted in
each; and all this is confusing to tho
eyes and the brains of beholders. While
we are watching the japanese jugglers
in front of us, we are at the same time
squirting at the sylphlike form of the
girl in pink tights at the other end Of
the big tent, who is dangling on the
bareback of horse, and jumping
through hoops of fire.
These circus bills which are to be
seen everywhere now in Washington
are more gorgeous than those flaring
old wood cuts which delighted the
Imagination of childhood generation
ago, but they present very few really
new feats, so far as the real circus is
concerned. The vaudeville perform
ances have grown up within the past
ten years, and they are also assuming
a sameness which is giving them a
tameness.
Readers under 30 years of age have
heard but little of Dan Rice, the great
est of all sawdust showmen, but his
memory lives green with the older boys
and girls who saw his performances and
heard his jokes. There never was, and
it is not likely that there ever will be,
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1899-08-05

which hurried call for $4,000 to be
raised from the collections to be made
upon the following day in the churches
of single denomination in the coun-
try would have received in the days of
Cleveland, tariff reform and the Wilson
law. Men could not pay their own debts
then; much less were they able to pay
church debts.
1t is not improbable that the mem
bers of the assembly sang, apropos of
the above facts, praise God from whom
all blessings flow" Some one should
have added a new stanza to the old
doxology to express thanks that the ma
jority of the American people have
sense enough to use their blessings and
to make the most of the natural re-
sources of the country by giving proper
protection to its industries.

HELPS THE CHURCHES.
Increased Religious Contributions
Testify to the General PrOsper-
ity of the Country.

At the general assembly of the Pres
byterian church, which was recently
held in Minneapolis, it was announced
that the board of home missions of
that church had, during the last year,
in addition to carrying on its regular
work, wiped out debt of more than
$4,000, which had been gradually pill
ing up against it. This is splendid
tribute to the prosperity of the coun-
try and to the policy of protection I'M
der which such prosperity has been
achieved. The records of the Presby-
terrain assembly afford further testi-
mony as to the marvellous prosperity
which exists to-day. When all the re-
ports were in it was found that every
department of the church was free from
debt with the exception of the Freed
mans board" which had debt of $4O,-
900. A general call was sent out on Sat-
urday, May 20, to Presbyterian churches
throughout the country to raise the
debt by collections on the next day,
Sunday, May 81. On Monday, May %,
the moderator of the assembly received
by telegraph from various churches re-
ports of the collections taken on the
previous day, which assured him, not
only that the entire debt of $4,000 had
been wiped out by the church collec-
tons of that single day, but that there
was balance of some 5000 to spare.
The tale of national prosperity which
is wrapped up in these few facts is a
marvellous one. Fancy the response

LOul-Spenking Facts.

Significant signs of good times are
found in r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly re-
view of trade. The fact is made public
that failures in April were the small
est ever reported in any month. Those
reported in May are smaller than those
previously reported in any month by
nearly $2,O0O000. Their total sum is
only CPS per cent. of the smallest total
previously reported in any month and
only 34.3 per cent. of the total for last
May. The ratio of defaults to solvent
business has never been so small in
any other month as in the May just
passed. These are facts which speak so
loudly for the condition of American
trade and industry that no comment
could add to their force. They are stuff
cient to take away the calamity howl
er's breath and cause him to stand gap
ing and gasping in silent amazement.--

Facts ms to Tin Plate Prices.

1t is worth nothing tht the price of
tin plate, with the increase of II per
cent. in wages, is still $1.10 per box less
than it was when we relied on foreign
supply for all our tin plate under free
importation. What has really been ac-
complished is this: The tin plate indus
try has been transferred TO this coun-
try; whatever profits there are now go
to American investors, the wages ex-
pended in that industry are distributed
to American laborers, and these have
been increased since the trust was or
ganized II per cent. the producers are
undoubtedly making good profit, and
still the product is sold to American
consumers at $1.10 box, or % per
cent. less than before the tariff was
adopted and the trust organized.-Gun.

but somewhat as suggestion to young
who may desire to get up novel enter
tainments for good purposes.
The first man in this country to at
tain distinction and fame in the circus
business was Dan Rice, who reached his
ninetieth year only few months ago.
His real name was Daniel McLarren,
but he will be known to fame by his cir
Gus name. When he was young man
travelling about race tracks he became
known as an athlete and tumbler, and
was generally nicknamed Dusty Dan"
but why he took the name of Rice no
body has even been able to ascertain.
One of the elderly men who attended
the country circus of the Carroll insti-
tute told number of interesting things
about Dan Rice, as we were walking
home after the performance. He said
that when quite young man Dan Rice
became known as wrestler, boxer and
prize fighter; and that his agility,
strength and scientific sparring made
him formidable antagonist. 1t is a
matter of official record that in 1925 the
Pennsylvania legislature at Harrisburg
adjourned to witness q boxing match
between Dan Rice and George Kensett
a celebrated fighting man of that day
What do you think of legislature ad'
journing for the sake of witnessing
such performance? 1t seems almost
incredible that such thing could have
occurred, but it did.
