A NEW INDUSTRY.

population any new industry which will
afford reasonable opportunity for am
bilious young men to acquire reputation
and fortune should be widely welcomed.
In the career of an American citizen
whose name is familiar to many of our
countrymen an illustration is offered of
hitherto measurably new industry.
Some ten or twelve years since there
lived in Nebraska town a man who
was usually known as Bill Bryan. He
had received fair education and was
admitted after the usual period of study
as member of the bar.
For many years, however, his earn
ings in the line of his profession were
very small. He rated as fourth or
fifth class lawyer, and the fact that he
lost the most of his cases was
hindrance to his rise in his chosen pro-
fession. His command of words was
phenomenal, and upon the slightest pro-
vocation they would flow from his lips
in an uninterrupted and harmonious
torrent. When addressing court or jury
the fact, however, that these words seem
ed to be upon variety of subjects not
pertinent to the case under consideration,
and when by accident they were per-
tinent, bore often against the side Of the
case on which he was detained, seemed
an additional drawback in his legal
work.
He was industrious and persistent, but
for the reasons above indicated his an.
nual earnings never for many years ex-
ceeded the sum of $1O0 per month, and
even this amount in the eyes of his
associates of the bar seemed excessive in
view of the character of his work.
He decided, therefore, to adopt the
profession of candidate, and in the
course of few years had such measure
of success in this line that he became
known as w. J Bryan.
His ambition then took loftier range
and he decided to become candidate
for the presidency of the United States.
The fact that he had no qualifications for
the position, had no experience i'll mat
ters of craftsmanship to fit him for this
most exalted work and no fitness for any
serious work except a cataract of words
that could be turned on at moments
notice, caused him no hesitation.
After his candidacy was announced he
became William Jennings Bryan His
peregrinations extended over all parts of
the great republic, and everywhere his
deluge of words came down as rain upon
the mown grass. From the fact that his
stock in trade was the advocacy of an
absurd issue his first candidacy was un.
successful. Undeterred by this fact,
however, he continued his wanderings,
sought to galvanize into life the issue

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF COMMERCE.

tury calls attention to the fact that it
has been marked by tremendous de.
velopment of commerce. The various
inventions in machinery operated by
steam and electricity have all contrib
uted to this end, and commerce in turn
has aided in their promotion. The peace
of the latter part of the period, in con-
trast with the prolonged wars that pre-
vailed at the beginning of the century,
has made an unusual development of
the international carrying trade possible.
The growth of the credit and clearing
house system has been another factor.
Progress in commerce can be ex-
pressed-superfcial it is true-in dol
lars and cents, and SO is more readily
summarized than corresponding ad-
vance in music or art or literature. In
an article in the North American Review
Mr.. o. P Austin, chief of the bureau of
statistics, gathers the figures of CEN
tury of commerce. One hundred years
ago it was estimated that population
of $40 millions exchanged goods valued
at 800 million dollars. Since that time
the population has increased 1876 per
cent. and the commerce 1888 per cent.
The trade, which, at the centurys be-
ginning, was only 80 81 for each person,
has now increased to $13.27. The ad-
vance in the decade from 1880 to 1910,
just after the introduction of the rail-
way, was more than twice as rapid as
that of the ten years previous to the
railway era. The telegraph system in
troduced in 1874 has spread, until now it
embraces million miles of wire, with
10000 miles of submarine cable. A
large proportion of the million land
messages sent every day are commercial
in character. Other factors in the
growth of commerce have been the in
crease in the cultivated areas of the
world from $50 to nearly 900 million
acres the advance in coal production
from II million to 600 million tons, and
in pig iron from 100000 to 81 million
tons the development of other natural
and manufactured products.
The bare figures show little of the ex-
tent and meaning of the growth of com
merce. What trade really stands for is
the comfort of the people. The fact that
$lS worth of goods for each person is
exchanged in year instead of So, as in
1900, is significant, because it means
that each person has far larger share
of the comforts of life now than at the
opening of the century. Then fam
ily's furnishings in America were chiefly
confined to what it's members could
make themselves, and the range of it's
food was little beyond that produced in
the neighborhood wherein it lived. Now
the workmen of the world contribute to

advertising agent, exhibited himself and
his book and his flow of words, charging
an admission fee to view the aggrega-
ton, and thereby accumulated COM
Portable fortune.
He then again became a candidate tor
the nomination, and the Spanish war
being nearly over he volunteered as
colonel of militia regiment, and risked
his life for his country by proceeding as
far as the malarial regions of Florida by
the time the Cuban war was over. He
thus became Colonel William Jennings
Bryan, and, having again received the
nomination for president, he added to
his previous subject of discussion cer-
tain new features.
With an undiminished deluge of words
he proceeded to explain to his country
men that all who had risen by diligence
and economy above the condition of day
laborers had so risen by robbery that
those who by reason of exceptional
ability and thrift had acquired sufficient
capital to be able to employ workmen
were public enemies, thriving by steal
ing from their employees. These ideas,
with the corpse of the dead issue and
clothed in words multitudinous as the
stars, were scattered throughout the
country in series of meetings which
attracted oftentimes large crowds of
people. Many went out of curiosity,
others because their friends went, and
great enthusiasm often prevailed at the
meetings. Comments such as "See how
his necktie has slipped" or 'See how he
sweats," were often heard from his
auditors.
The people, however, had tired Of the
subject and the book and the man, and
he was again relegated to private life,
but the possessor of handsome fortune,
the results of his exhibition of himself,
his book and his automatic jaw.
Here is an obj oct lesson in what may
be fairly termed new industry. To be
sure many other people have been can.
didates for the presidency, but rarely
have such candidates possessed abso-
lutely no qualifications for the exalted
position. No man need, therefore, hesi-
tate to make similar effort. The mum.
ber of men who have absolutely no
qualifications for the Office and who are
therefore equally eligible for the Office
with Colonel Bryan is very great, and
his example may inspire such men with
the hope of similarly acquired COM
petence. = Franklin H. Head in the
Chicago Times Herald.

tody by the Police.
Accused of Ordering Goods Sent to
Wrong 4ddresses-Nerchan Pre-
ViousIy Annoyed by "a Man Who
Answers the Prisoners Descrip-
tfon-WiII BE Asked TO Explain.

Clifford E. Price, thirty years old, en-
ployed as a photographer and a maker Of
blue prints in the War Department, and
whose home is at Washington Grove, was
arrested this morning by Detectives Wee
don and Horne and is being held pending
an investigation. 1t is alleged that the ac-
cused has ou several occasions been guilty
of annoying officers. The police incline TO
the belief that he is not thoroughly respon-
sible mentally Price is married and has
an infant child.
For two months past the police have re-
ceived occasional complaints that man
whose description tallying with that OF
Price has been ordering goods from va
rious merchants on the representation that
they would be paid for if delivered at
given address TO people who did not order
them or authorize the order. The police
have been making diligent search for the
man described TO them, and though he
continued his practices he could not be
found.
shortly after 2 o'clock this morning
telephone message was received at Police
Headquarters from a downtown dry goods
firm TO the effect that a man. believed
to be a swindler was attempting TO order
goods. His actions it is said. were such
as to cause suspicion. Detectives Weldon
and Horne were detailed on the case, and,
going to the store. placed Price under ar
rest Enquiry developed that he had or
dered two boys suits of clothes to be sent
TO two addresses which he gave. One ad-
dress was Mr.. c. E Davis, 93S Fifth Street,
while the other was N. f. Davis, 93S Third
Street northwest
Price claimed that he had been given
S2.15 by a Mrs. Halstead, of Washington
Grove. who asked him 10 order the clothes
sent to her. He said he did not think there
was any harm in having the suits sent &c
the fictitious addresses.
II is said that about two years ago Price
was arrested for an offence similar TO that
he is charged with committing today. He
claimed this morning when questioned in
reference TO The former case that it was
the result OF spite work.
