The sensible Emperor kien Lung
UHunglD endeavored to make the in
dispensible taboo as easy as possible
for the SILLY people" by changing the
sounds of certain syllables 50 as not to
interfere with the free use of current
language, and his successors have gone
further by giving rare and practically
meaningless syllables as imperial
names. Thus, no one in the whole
course of his life need ever write the
characters chu. hin, tsung or hwan, for
no one has the faintest idea what they
originally mean, and, if curious. must
hunt up in a dictionary to find out. The
taboo does not now extend to the first
or categorical syllable. All of the gen

more than a few dozen fish could be

safely to their deStina ton. These cars
are iitted up with all the appliances that
years of ca reful study and thought given
to the subject could devise and which an
abundant supply of money can SEIZURE,
for the nations law makers recognize
the value OF the fisheries of the country
and are liberal in the appropriations for
the benefit of the commission that mas

The exteriors of the cars of the fish

Chicago, Nov. 2.-W. j. Bryan, Demo-
cratic Presidential candidate. tonight
gave out the following statement IN the
form of an Interview:
The Republican campaign has been
a failure. The fun dinner pail argu-
ment has been repudiated by the work.
Ing men and the Republicans are COM
PEELED to confess that a large proper
ton of the labor vote will be cast for
the Democratic ticket. Besides beliey-
ing with the Democrats In the general
doctrine OF equal rights to all and spe-s
cial privileges to none. the lahoring
men are against the trusts, the large
army and the colonial policy. The La
boring men are also drawn to the Dem
ocratic party by the fact that our party
is opposed to government by injnnc-
ton. to the black list and to Chinese
immigration and in favor of arbitration
and of a Cabinet officer selected to rem
resent the wage earners.
WHAT THEY ARE HOPING.
1.-THE Republicans are now hoping to
hold their strength among the farmers,
but they have no policy which will ben
Ieht the farmer. The man who makes
his living on the farm is the victim OF
all the vicious legislation for which the
Republican party is responsible. and
receives none of the benefits conferred
by special legislation upon corpora
lions and syndicates. The farmer pays
more than his share OF the taxes and
receives less than his share of the con-
sderation of government. Republican,
policies have lessened the value of farm
lands. increased the proportion of ten-
ants and have driven the farmers sons
away from the farm, thus intensifying
the struggle for existence in the cities
The farmers are almost unanimously
opposed to the trusts and they can have
no sympathy with the Imperialisttc
policy of the Republican party with It's
attendant increase In the military es-
adjustment. =
ACCESSIONS TO DEMOCRACY.
IT believe that the election will show
that we have gained among the farm
ers as we'll as In the cities.
THE small business men and the pro-
fessional men are also feeling the effect
of the industrial despotism which has
grown up with this Administration.
The poor are coming to the Demo-
cratic party because they want a
chance In the race for life, and many
OF the well-to-do are coming because
they realize that the Democratic party
affords better protection to honest
wealth than the Republican party.
THE Republican party Ia under the
control of those who seek advantaga
through governmental favoritism and
grow rich by tho exploitation Of c-ti-
zens at home and subjects abroad. 1t
is fight between Democracy on the
one side and plutocracy on the other.
and Democracy appeals to the Judg-
mcnt and to the conscience OF those
who are willing to let live as we'll as to
live" s
