say nothing about the solid north,
which consists of 124 electoral
votes, drawn from the states of
Pennsylvania, Idaho, Iowa, Min
nesota, Michigan and all the New
England States except sCounpcti-

votes that got away In Michigan
in 1884, not one of these states has
ever cast a single electoral vote for
a Democratic candidate for the
Presidency in the last forty years.
In fact, there have been many
more breaks in the Solid South

Kinley carried four Sou IN 9 rn

when he gives his name in, Saint

'Nthpt 'bNh th thO tfdhs
With extraordinary candor, one
of the big trusts Of the country has
recently given an official endorse-
ment and proof cf the fact that 1t,
like it's congenors, is ihe offspring
Of the tariff and depends upon its
mother for continued life. The
fact that this testimony was invol-
untary makes Is all the more con-
vincing. II has long been known
that hundreds of articles produced
in this country under tariff protect
ion are regularly shipped abroad
and sold there for less prices than
are demanded at home. Among
such articles are playing cards, the
manufacture of which is controlled
by a trust, which is protected by a
duty Of ten cents per deck and
25 per cent ad valorem. AS re-
suit OF this monopoly, the trust In
the past three years has advanced
its prices from 20 to 100 per cent
at home, while exporting cards to
Europe in enormous quantities and
selling them at Il normal profit. far
below the price demanded in this
country. American dealers, seeing
cards sold by the trust in Europe
at a fraction OF the cost here, have
sent abroad for them and brough,
them back. They have been ad
mitted. free of duty, as are Other
products OF the United States wher
reimported, the only cost being fol
revenue stamps at the rate of 2cts
a deck. The dealers who get theil
goods 10 this way have been able
to undersell the merchants whit
buy them from the trust direct
Naturally, the latter have kicket
and the trust recently demanded
that the Treasury Department Civ
it power to seize and confiscate al
cards thus reimported, and urge'
that the custom officials be order
ed to turn such importations int
its hands without regard to TIL
right OF the merchant who pur
chased the goods abroad. The de
mand was of course refused, bu
the fact that it was made show
plainly the Intimate relations ex
listing between the trust and tn
tariff. Unless some way can b
found to prevent the importation
the trust will have to dissolve
The principle is the same, of course
whether 1t is applied to playinl
cards or to hardware or any Othe
article.

ington Estimates.

Washington, Oct. 10, 1SO0.-There
is little doubt that Mr.: Bryan's Wis
1t to New York city about a week
from now will be an eye opener for
the Republicans, and will show
them to what an extent circum-
stances have changed since 1896.
When Mr.. Bryan made his speech
in that city four years ago, there
was little or no enthusiasm for him
and the Republicans succeeded In
carrying out n very pretty scheme
to disconcert him. When he rose
to speak, the cohorts with which
they had packed the hall began to
leave, and continued to do so un.
til the hall was half emptied. or
course this was terribly disconcert-
ing to MIR. Bryan as 1t would be
any speaker. This year all will be
changed. Mr.. Bryan will be es-
corted to the hall by a procession
of 100000 men under the personal
direction of the democratic boss
who went to Europe In 1896 to
avoid meeting him. Democratic
clubs will be brought from all the
towns and cities within three
hours ride by railroad of New
York; one hundred and thirty four
bands have already been engaged
to furnish music, and, according to
the stories they tell at the Demo-
cratic headquarters, contracts have
been entered into for $4,000 worth
Of fireworks and searchlights will
he placed at intervals along the
4th Avenue and 9Th Avenue so that
the night will be turned into day
Four years ago, Mr.. Bryan yield
ed to the advice of his committee
who told him that he must be very
moderate in his expressions on the
silver question and subjects relat
ing to labor and capital, and re
quired him to prepare his speech
in advance and submit the manus
cript for their revision before they
would allow him to speak. NJ
committee even dreams of such {
thing this wear. Mr.. Bryan is thu
same man that he was in 1896; he
represents the same political doct
rine and policy; he will admit thai
his opinions have not changed or
single subject, but his convictions
upon all OF the issues are more frn
and vigorous than they ever were
Therefore, the reasons for this
striking contrast must be founC
among the people of New York
