They tell you that you know nothing about
finance. They told me that l knew moth
ing about the tariff. But I held on. The
Star-eyed Goddess of Reform had great
er run than the Gross of Gold and Crown
of Thorns.'
We began the fight for tariff reform a
quarter of a century ago. but did not win
until 1892. After each defeat, and espe-
Claliy after those of 1850 and 1888, there
was the loudest clamor for the abandon
ment of the tariff issue. Its opponents
within the party declared that We could
not hope for success as long as we kept
that flag at the masthead. The country
we were told. had decided against it in
way that was absolutely unmstakable But
my reply invariably was, Wen win under
that flag, not at all
We'll, as you know, at last We won.
Need L remind you of the result? You
were member of the House of Represen-
tatves when the bill was drawn for the
redemption of the tariff plank of the plat
form upon which Mr.. Cleveland was the
second time elected President. You helped
draw the bill. You were all right. You
wanted a deep cut all along the line. But
ask you, as man to man, was there ever
a greater fiasco than that bill as it finally
passed Congress? Did ever a mountain
labor so and produce a smaller mouse?
Think of it, The GOrman-Wilson bill as
the fruit of sixteen years of continuous
agitation for tariff reform,
Now. my friend, apply this history to
Your fight for free silver coinage. I'm

fighter myself. But I've learned something
I've grown older Suppose you hold on
to- silver as l did to the tariff. Suppose
you whoop it up all along the line. and
after several more trials win at the polls.
Do you imagine that your triumph could
be written into law? 1t could not. You
ould find there were democrats who
would work to nuIlify the victory. Just as
there Were democrats who supported
free trade platform in 1892. and afterward
Checkmated in Congress the effort to re-
deem it with legislation, there would be
democrats to checkmate, after voting for
free coinage at Ihe polls, every effort to

The Old Battle Ship Ohio.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The recent launching Of the battle ship
Ohio at San Francisco recalls the fact that
it Is not the first United States war vessel
to bear that name. The old sailing line of
battle-ship Ohio was launched at the
Brooklyn navy yard on May %. 1920. and
til 1898. and on it's first cruise bound for
the Mediterranean, few the broad pennant

American Statesmen Abroad.

Senator Beveridge sailed for Europe the

in Russia and elsewhere. Since the ad-
journmcnt of Congress a number of SEN
ators and representatives. have visited Cuba
and Porto Rico for the purpose of investi-
eating business conditions and prospects
there. and during the early summer still
others will sail for the Philippines with a
similar object in view. Business indeed. is
uppermost in the minds of our public men
just now.
This is a change from the custom of the

went abroad it was solely for travel and
pleasure. The green lands Of England

the canals of Venice were mainly in his
calculations His principal object was to
loaf and invite his soul. The art galleries
of Europe had more attractions for him
than the manufactures, and the only fig
ures he consulted or was at all curious
about were those relating to the height OF
cathedral spires and the great elevations
of the Alps. The nearest he got to busi-
ness and prices was when some necessity
drove him to the shops to replenish his
wardrobe. And then he often wondered
why he could not find at home goods as
we'll made and at a cost reasonable
those he could turn up anywhere on his
/ travels.

No Parallel in History.

From the Newark Advertiser.
1t would be hard to find in all history a
parallel to the incident that occurred when
the departure of the American troops from
Pekin was announced
Thousands of representative Chinese as
sembled and adopted a petition earnestly
entreating the American government to
permit its troops to remain at Pekin in the
interests of law. order and humanity
The Americans entered Pekin by assault
and as invaders. They occupied a large
section of the city as enemies and con-
Gucrcrs. And such has been their conduct
that the conquered beg them not to depart
That incident should be inscribed on the
escutcheon of our nation. No greater trib-
ute could be paid to the military power

fhe New Dieoovery for catarrh Seems
to Possess Remarkable Merit.

A new oatarrh cure las recently
8appeaied which 80 Ear 20 taated has

4all forms Of catarrh, whether in the

lscientl6c combination Of Guaiacgi,
Eucalyptol, sanguinaria, Hydrastin

antiseptics
The safe and effective catarrh cure
may be found at any drug store under
name Of stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
Whether the catarrh IS located in
tho nose throat, bronchial tubes or
astomach, the tablets seem to act with
equal success. removing the stuny
feeling in head and nose, clearing the
3mucous membrane Of throat and
trachea from catarrhal secretions.
which cause the tickling. coughing,
hawking and gagging so annoying TO
every catarrh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to
lulceration IN some cases to such an
extent as to destroy the nose entirely
and in many old cases OF catarrh the
bones of the head become diseased
Nasal catarrh gradually extends to the
throat and bronchial tubes and very
