WOMAN TO SPEAK 70. BRYAN
Mrs. Marguerite Moore Interested in
the Campaign.

BALTIMORE. Aug 22-Mrs- Marguerite
Moore. the Irish writer and lecturer, is
visiting her daughter Mrs. E. j. LAWYER, at
her home In this city. Mrs Moore en-
JOYS the distinction of being the first Irish
Catholic woman in her own country to
take the lecture platform for the discus
sion of political matters.
IN 1882. in consequence Of her ACTIVITY as
a member CT the Ladies Land League, she
| suffered imprisonment on the charge Of
having infaned the discomfort of her coun-
| trymen. She made the acquaintance of
Henry George while he was investigating
| the land troubles in Ireland Two years
! after her imprisonment she came to Amer
lea, settling in New York. The renewal of
her acquaintance with Henry George led
! her TO transfer her active interest in poll
tics from Irish affairs to the affairs first OF
| the Singie-JaX adhsreIts, and more recently
| to those of the Democratic party.
| Il am going to work for Bryan this
| year, = she said yesterday afternoon to a
| reporter. L am an Irishwoman. and it
! goes without saying that / am an anti
/ imperialist. | have been proud of this
country's record. It was because OF its
record and Of its difference from England
| that l brought my children to this country.
| But now We are hearing all this talk of
! alliance with England, this talk of putting
| the American flag alongside the blood
| stained hag of England. Engiands flag is
/ the emblem of cruelty and oppression.
| believe that all people have right to
| liberty, and l certainly believe that the
| Cubans and the Fiiipinos have a right to
| their own land"
Mrs. Moore said that she would not take
/ up the money question in her political adj
| dresses. but that she would speak OF trusts
| and the Industrial situation you don t
| find The trusts bolstering up things for the
benefit of the people, she said but for
| their own benefit. Something must be
| done in the industrial field. 1t is distress
! ing that so many refuse to see what is 60
won't see And one of the first things to
| be done is to awaken people to a con-
| sciousness OF actual conditions. There is
| a depressing lack of employment, not only
| for unskilled laborers, but for men and
| women of education.
"Reformers and people who keep their
| eyes open are called Socialists. or Com
munists, or Anarchists, or Nihilists, or
! something of the kind.
! There IS no remedy in view The sin
/ gle tax goes nearer it than anything else.
| Socialism has its good points, but it is too
much of an infringement on personal lib
| erty- And anarchy even in a small family

/ when Henry George ran for the Mayoralty

An Important Position.

The man who is known as the "t1a.
yorer" in the tobacco trade has a high.
grade position, since he has few com
petitors. He is responsible for the fla.
vor of all grades of goods made, and
sees to it that the flavor is kept the
same year in and year out; it matters
not where the tobacco that goes in
them comes from or the condition un-
der which it has grown. By his art and
skill he can; make tobacco that grows
on low lands taste and smell the same
as that grown on high lands. He can
make tobacco grown during a dry sea-
son take the same favor as that grown
during rainy season. Tobacco grown
at different ends Of the same State, or
in different States, are by his treat
ment the same, as far as the consumer
is concerned. As may be imagined,
there are not many who are competent
to do the work, and as a result flavor
ers range in salaries all the way from
eight to ten dollars per day Of about
one hours actual work. They are en-
ployed, however, but about nine months
in each year. ze
