Mr.. Towne's Unusual Career

Charles A. Towne has left Duluth to
make his home in New York. His growing
law practice has induced him to seek a
larger field of usefulness. His old neigh
bors took leave Of him with regret. and
entertained him at a banquet. A distin-
guished company was present and the
speeches were most complimentary. That
of Mr.. Bryan was pitched in the kew of
genuine admiration.
Mr.. Towne's success has been pronounced
and his career unusual. He was elected to
Congress as a republican only a few years
ago He was then unknown outside of his
district, and known there principally as a
fluent stump speaker. The silver question
came up and he changed his coat He went
over to the support of Mr.. Bryan in 1896,
and lost his seat in Congress. Since then
he has been one Of the leaders of the silver
party. and was nominated last year by the
popuiists for Vice President on the ticket
with Mr.. Bryan. There were democrats
who wanted their party to ratify this action
at Kansas City; but the majority objected,
and Mr.. Towne retired from the field as a
candidate. But as canvasser for Bryan
and Stevenson he was very active, and
committed himself in his speeches thor
oughiy to the whole Bryanite view Of
things.
As we know. the republicans swept the
country both in 1896 and last year. All of
Mr.. Towne's predictions were completely
discredited. He had indulged, as Mr. BRYAN
himself had, in a round Of the most reckless
prophecy. The only salvation for the coun-
try was in the policies he was recommend
ing. If they were rejected. and those Of
Mr.. Mckinley accepted. smash would be a
certainty. Nothing could prevent 1t. He

instead. began from the day of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's first Inauguration, and it still con-
tinues. 1t has spread until It has reached
Mr.. Towne. and 1t has swept him from his
moorings at Duluth into the metropolitan
harbor of New York. Discredited as a po-
litical prophet he is in high repute as a
lawyer, and he is sharing in prosperity
which must be the greatest of surprises
to him.
Who can deny therefore that this is a
country of great possibilities? In what
other country would it be possible for a
man to realize SO handsomely on his errors
of judgment? For that is what Mr.. Towne
has done. He achieved national reputa-
ton as a prophet of evil, and yet comes
into rich rewards now from the operations
Of policies which he stoutly condemned and
resisted. But all alike--those who agreed
with him as well as those who opposed
congratulate him on his good fortune.

At the time of tho adoption Of the
United States constitution there wore
several distinct plans of government
proposed. Of these plans the fight
was made upon two; the Hamiltonian
idea and the Jeffersonian idea. Alex
ander Hamilton openly maintained
that the British constitution was the
most perfect instrument Of it's kind
ever in existence. He wanted all
laws for the government Of the States
to be passed by the congress of the
United States. He wanted the presi-
dent of the United States and the
senators to hold Office during good
behavior. He wanted the governors
of the States appointed by tho presi-
dent Of the United States and he
wanted the federal government to
assume the debts Of the statutes.
He wanted strong senate and
weak house Of representatives and
openly proclaimed himself that tho
people were incapable of solf-gov-
ernment. John Jay was sent as
minister to England in order to make
a commercial treaty which would
have placed our commerce under the
control of Great Britain. The Ham
ilton idea was 80 far carried out that
he succeeded in preventing the in
corporation of bill of rights in the
federal constitution. Under his lead
ership the congress imposed the ex-
else tax which made the rich escape
the burdens Of taxation and placed
those burdens upon the poor. This
brought about the revolution in
Pennsylvania and came very nearly
disrupting the new republic. Thomas
Jefferson forced the bill Of rights
into the constitution as an amond-
ment. As minister to France he sue
ceeded in defeating the purpose of
the Jay treaty with England. Ham
ilton favored and Jefferson op-
posed the granting of monopo-
lies, the establishing of United
States bank, and the assumption of
the State dobts by tho federal gov
ernment. Associated with Jefferson
were Madison, Monroe, Samuel
Adams, Albert Gallatin, George Clin-
ton and Benjamin Franklin. Asso-
ciated with Hamilton were John
Marshall, John Jay, John Adams
and PinckneY. The Democratic party
has been in continuous existence
ever since the adoption of the consti-
tuition while the federal party of
which the Republicans arc the sue
cessors have passed through num-
Der of changes. The federal party,
at first successful, finally committed
suicide by carrying their doctrine of
centralized government 80 far as to
pass the alien and sedition laws.
Under this law the president was
authorized upon his own volition to
expel from the country any alien
whom he might suspect as danger
