gives no sign beyond the birth OF her
three sons, and the Indefinite "sons and
and daughters" while she shared the In
tolerable length of Adams life-93O
years. The story Of Cain and Abel re-
fleets the rivalrics of early agricultural
and nomadic life. 1t has been left to
modern art TO bring forth the mystery
of the first death shifting on the ma ter
nal heart. Eve, with the dead Abel iy-
Ing cold and still across her knees, is
one Of the most beautiful pieces of
sculpture in our Metropolitan museum.
1t Is not the less beautiful because It
represents a.universal mystery, InvoIv-
ing the last mother whose son Is dead
equally with the, first. For who is vet
so wise as to understand clearly and
fully what death means?
The. heart: Of Ewes pathetic story.

He Deserts the "Toiling Masses"

Cleveland Leader. The horrible crown
of thorns of 1896 appears to have been
turned Into a gold cap In 1900.
If labor was being butchered by slow
degrees four years ago by the bloody
gold standard. what torture must labor
endure to-day. now that the gold stand
ard Is the law OF the land and for once
in the history OF the republic is written
into the statute book?
But Bryan leaves labor TO suffer and
inquiries as he did in South Bend, on
last Saturday night: but, my friends,
want to ask you which Is the more
important, the financial system which
SOU have or the form Of government
under which You live?"
But why worry about government. be
1t good or bad. IL the people are being
killed by the tens of thousands" by the
gold Standard If the gold standard, as
Bryan describes II, continues In opera
ton for u few years longer there will
not be, according to his predictions. a
native of this country left. Ruin, mis-
cry and want" are to stalk around ev-
cry day and everywhere II the silver
trust is not permitted to sell Its 6Q-cent
product for 81 % an ounce!
We are afraid that Bryan, in 1896.
didn't believe all that he said. We fear
that the peerless leader was trying to
cheat the voters. At all events. II the
hideous conditions which he described
existed then they must be present now.
And yet Bryan dsregards them entire
~ and bleeds only for the distant and
savage Filipino.
II certainly looks as II Bryan had de-
serted the ''toiliLg masses" and had en-
listed with Aguinaldo.

Effect of Porto Ricnn Tariff

The Democratic party has had much
TO say about the '.iniIuity" OF the Porto
Picnr tariff measure. bit 1t Is distinct
~ shown that the foar months opera
lions OF that tariff law have Increased
our exports to that Island over 100 per
cent compared with the corresponding
TOUR months OF 1899. and more than
three hundred per cent In comparison
with the same period Of 1897 or 1896.
Inc act went iEto effect May 1, 1900. go

have lust been completed by the treas
Dry bureau OF statistics, complete the
record OF the fourth month OF COM
ncrce between the island and the Uni
ted States under the new law. and rem
der practicable comparison of the
four months term with corresponding
periods In preceding years.
The corresponding four months In
1899 cover period In which the island
was under the American flag. but sub,
ject to the customs laws OF the United:
States which relate to foreign countrlea
The corresponding four months OF 1888.
were the wnr, period and do not there
fore furnish fair basis for compari-
son. The corresponding four months Of
1897 md 1896 present normal conditions
In the commerce between tho island
and the United States when It was
Spanish territory.
It will be remembered that the dis
cussions In Congress few months ngo
and the statements made by delcga-
lions from, and officials In the islnnd
indicated that the island had. ms a re-
suit OF the storm or August, 1899, prnc-
tlcaliy nothing to sell and nothing with
which to buy. and II was supposed That
the first few months under the new act
would necessarily show n REDUCTION in
the exports and purchasing power OF
the Island as compared with the cor
responding period III former ,yenrs. 1t,
is the more Rurprlsing. therefore, to find
that the Island has, during tho -four
