against the bishop to whom he owes
Canonical obedience. As / said at the
outset the difficult work intrusted to
US has been carried through on con-
stitutional lines. If there was one duty
deVolving on me more imperauvely
than another. il was not to leave my
successor entanglements to unravel. or
bequeath to him obstacles to the free
exercise of his ministry in his own
cathedral. And If through the intrigu-
ing and interference now brought to
light a factious opposition To the acts
of the synod continues to exist, To the
disturbance of peace and harmony, the
responsibility for il must rest with the
bishop of New York.
For myself, l have endeavored un-
reservedly. and with the same loyalty
to the constitution and principles of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, as if
were to remain in the See, to leave
the diocese on a sure foundation. and
10 remove from the path OF my sue
cessor certain hindrances to his liberty
Of action. and L am confident that,
when the work of our diocesan synod
is examined and understood, il will (to
use the words of the preface to the
Book of Common Prayer of the Church
of England) have the appreciation of
''ali sober, peaceable and truly con-
scientious sons" of the Protestant EpiS-
copaI Church in the United States
remain. my dear bishop, sincerely

ever It is the desire of congress that 1t
should act. That the machinery exists
for turning out the policy above out
lined I am very certain, II only our
the health of the community will be
subserved by treating the whole ques-
ton primarily from the standpoint OF
the business interests OF the entire
point of the fancied interests of any
group of politicians.
of course In making any changes we
should proceed in accordance with GER
tain fixed and definite principles. and
the most important of these is an
avowed determination to protect the in
terests of the American producer, be
he business man, wage worker OF
farmer.
The one ton which must
never be omitted in a tariff change is
the imperative need of preserving the
American standard of living for the
American workingman. The tariff rate
must never fall below that which will
protect the American workingman by
allowing for the difference between the
general labor cost here and abroad. sc
as to at least equalize the conditions
arising from the difference in the stand
ards OF labor here and abroad-a diff
ference which it should be our aim to
foster insofar as it represents the needs
of better educated. better paid, better
fed and better clothed workingmen OF
a higher class than any to be found Ill
a foreign country
AT all hazards. and no matter what
else is sought for or accomplished by
changes of the tariff. the American
workingman must be protected in his
standard of wages, in his standard OF
living, and must be secured fullest op-
portunity of employment
Our laws should in no event afford
advantage to foreign industries over
American industries. They should in nc
event do less than equalize the differ
ence in the conditions at home and
Abroad The general tariff policy te
which, without regard to changes In
detail, believe this country to be ire
vccably committed is fundamentally
based upon ample recognition of the
difference of labor cost here and
abroad; IN other words. the recognition
of the need for full development of in
telligence, the comfort, the high stand
ard of civilized living and of the in
ventive genius of the American work

SCARED out.
Great Packing Houses Abandon
Plan of Merger
After six Months Spent in Ar
ranging Combine.
AFRAID OF CONGRESS.
The Presidents Speeches Are
Taken as Warming.
Foresee Possible Removal Of
the Tariff on Cattle.

Chicago, Sept. 24.@The combination
of the great packing houses of the coun-
try which has been under consideration
and in process of actual formation for
the past six months has been abandon
ed, at least for the present. says the
Tribune. The decision not to complete
the combina ton is due in large degree
to the attitude of the national adminis-
tration towards trusts as outlined by
President Roosevelt in his recent
speeches and to the possibility that in
the event of a consolidation congress
might remove the tariff on cattle
1t was learned last night that final
meeting of the heads Of the firms
known as the Big -Four packing houses
in Chicago had been held at which 1t
was agreed to end all negotiations at
once.
This was followed by an order issued
from the offices of Swift & Co. that the
firms employees should Immediately dis
continue the inventory OF property and
stock, which had been ordered and
started for the purpose of tabulating a
report of the financial condition of the
company which was to have been used
as basis of the division Of shares in
the combine.

FLIPPEO A COIN.
Bailey Won and Will Open Joint
Debate.
One Meeting at Topeka, Another
at Wichita.

There will be two Joint debates be-
tween w. ]. Bailey and W. H. Craddock
and they will be hel6 at Topeka and
Wichita. The dates have not been de-
cided upon definitely, but the one at
Wichita will probably be on the evening
of October and the one at Topeka a
week later, on the night of October 13
The representatives of the fusion and
Republican state committees did not
get together last night to make the ar
rangements for the debates. because
some of them wanted to go to the cir
Gus, so a meeting was held at the
Copeland this morning. There were
present Secretary Charles McCrum, rep
Secretary Curran representing the Pop
ulists, and Chairman Albaugh repre-
senting the Republicans. w. Y Nor
gan and Cyrus Leland were also pres
ent with Mr.. Albaugh.
The Republicans picked Topeka as
the place for one of the debates and
/ the fusionists picked Wichita for the
iother. Secretary McCrum did not want
to have a debate in Topeka. but he de-
clined to give his reasons and as the
other fellows insisted. Topeka was CIV
en- one of the meetings
The only matter in doubt concerning
the dates is the question of securing the
auditorium in Wichita on October 6. II
the auditorium there can be secured for
that date the wichita meeting will be
meeting a week later. If the Wichita
auditorium cannot be secured for thai
date the meetings will probably be re-
versed.
It was agreed that a chairman shoul6
! be chosen by each side for each of the
meetings, and that the chairman should
act as the timekeepef. The chairnne1
will be designated by the officers of the
state committees.
The debates are to last two hours
and thirty-five minutes EACH The
speaker who opens is to have an hour

McCrum picked heads Tails came
up, and Albaugh won. Leland said tn,

both sides were tails.
