proposals that will indicate 10 the peo-
pie the programme Of the democracy
Atlanta Constitution.
1t Is not often that the democratic
party experiences a stroke of fortune on
which its discreet friends al consis-
tently extend their congratulations. For
the past eight years commiseration
rather than felicitation, has been the
regular order on the democratic side Of
the party wall. But the end of the coal
strike, if ended it be, delivers the dem
ocracy from a seemingly impending
misfortune, and thus presents an oc-
caSion for honest and hearty cOngratu-
iation. 1t may be that there We're DEM
ocrats who hoped for help to their
party through a coal famine. II is GER
tain that many of them talked that
way and equally certain hat all re-
p~ublicans apprehended disaster from
that cause. But our democratic friends,
if they look at the matter in its true
light, will see that a party dependent
on calamities for victories is not the
ideal party for installment in the con-
troll of the government. Whatever
may be the outcome of the November
elections. whether a democratic tri-
umph or a fifth successive democratic
defeat, the party will be in better shape

be able to face the future more cour-
ageously than it would have been had

with populism the democracy took on
some share in the diu attached to
the name of the Calamity Party"
That was inevitable under the leader
ship of a populistic democrat. Should
it be victorious this year, it will be
thankful that its success is not identi-
fled with one of the most affective
calamitieS that yer menaced this coun-
try. Should it be again defeated. it
will still be able ito congratulate itself
hat its future is not clouded by d
triumph credited to calamity.-Wash-

GERMAN ~REICHSTAG.
Discussion of the Economic Posi-
ton of europe and United states.

Berlin, October 16.-The Reichstag at
its session today entered on the discus
sion of the tariff bill. commencing with
schedules relating to wheat and rye.
Chancellor o Buelow desired that the
bill be passed as drawn up by the gov
eminent. saying that a house committee
in passing the minimum tariff would
render the conclusion OF new treaties
impossible. The tariff proposed by the
government he added, was the extreme
limit if Germany wished to obtain from
other countries greater concessions
than she now enjoyed.
The Chancellor during his speech
sketched the fiscal and economic condi-
ton Of Europe and the United States
and said:
we must strengthen our politico-
commercial armor so as to enable US to
meet our opponents as equals in the
economic arena"
The Chancellor concluded amid cheers
and protests, with making a final appeal
to the house to once again give evidence
Of hat patriotism which il a so often
displayed, in order that an understand
ing might be speedily reached.
