BrVnIl.

Hon. Elliott Danforth, chairman
of the New York Democratic COM
mittee, has returned from a tour of
the South and reports that the peo-
pie of the South are more enthusi-
astic for Bryan than for silver.
The impression seems to prevail
in the East, that the Democrats are
for Bryan simply because of his
views on silver. This is q mistake.
On the money question Bryan only
stands for the doctrine of the Dem
ocratio party, in common with thou
sands of other Democrats. There
are many reasons why he is strong
with the people. They are for Bry-
an because of the sterling qualities
of manhood he possesses; his spot
less character; his upright christ
ian life; his personal and political
integrity; his firm stand for the
cause of the common people and
his unfaltering advocacy of the
measures and policies that will best
promote their interests; his trans
cendant genius and able statesman
ship, and last but not least, be-
cause they have confidence in him
to believe that if he were elected
President he would bring the coun-
try back to the original principle
of a government of the people, by
the people and for the people,
There are many strong and able
Democrats whe stand as firmly by
the Democratic idea on silver as
Bryan. There are few men, in any
party, or in all the parties, who
combine SO many excellent quail
ties for the Presidency. He not
only stands for Democratic ideas
on politics, but he stands for whole
some government, and honest, Wig
orous American citizenship; and
whether or not the next National
contest be fought with silver the
leading issue, the masses of the
unselfsh and uninhuenced Ameri-
can people want Bryan to lead the
fight. Gazette. =

Taxation.

To be exempted from the pay
ment of it's just proportion of tax
alton, seems to be the constitu-
tional right provided exclusively
in the interest of wealth. No
question is raised against any sys-
tom or species of taxation that tax
es the ordinary citizen. So long
as taxes are levied on a per capita
basis it is considered just and right.
But it is different when it under
takes to make wealth contribute
it's part. 1t cannot be done be-
cause it is unconstitutional. The
constitution is made to afford es-
pecial protection and immunity to
wealth

The way Trusts Work.

1.-Two things are noticeable in
connection with the operation of
the trusts, says the Parkersburg
Sentinel. One is that wages are
increased in few factories, and the
other is that good many other
factories are closed down and tho
employees laid off. The increase
in wages is noted in the biggest
typo on the front page, while the
shut-downs are generally found in
the most obscure corner of the
paper, if they are noticed at ALL"
A leading hotel man of Cincin-
natl has observed that since the
tobacco business has gone into the
hands of trust, three-f ourths of
the salesman have withdrawn from
the road. But while the hotel
mon are frightened at tho trust
spectre, the travelling men are still
more frightened. They can see
but one salvation for the drummer,
and that is for the jobbers to come
to his rescue. This the jobbers
are not likely to do because they
have the expense of the drummer
to pay. 1t is doubtful if the Job.
bers could accomplish very much
even though they made tho effort.
If they decline to buy except by

There would be bat limited num-
Der of men on tho road. Drum
ming has been big business for
the last score of years, but it now
looks like it is on the decline.
