Daniel S. Lamont.

Col. Lamont for governor of New York
The suggestion sounds Well. There is no
more capable man in the empire state. And
he possesses both shrewdness and capacity.
As secretary to Mr. Cleveland he 4rved
with great distinction. and as Secretary OF
War he was acceptable He is a rich man
now. and could afford New York politics.
His railroad connections have brought him

ditional political knowledge. Ten years al

IN the thick Of the political fray. fully en-
titled him 10 the sheepskin he took with
him into private life.
But. alas. Col Lamont as his parly's can
didate would probably carry weight as Mr.
Cleye!ands friend and as JAS. j. Hills lieu
tenant His relations to both men are very
close. and that fact might be capitalized
by the opposition in the campaign Mr..
Cleveland is no favorite with Tammany
Hall. and Wall street is not popular up
state. Besides. If Col Lamont were to be
elected governor of New York this year he
would Instantly become d presidential guam

the plans of many people, not unfriendly to

The Campaigns of 1896 and 1900.

MY dear SIR say the Cleveland demo-
Gratis to Mr.. Bryan, ''the country has twice
considered your program. and has twice re-
jected it. Why press it further?" Now
why isn't this true also of the Cleveland
program? IS.
By the Bryan program Is meant free sill
Yer. That has twice been rejected by the
country, and it seems useless to press it
further. But free silver, although the most
prominent, was not the sole issue the coun-
try rejected either in 1896 or in 1900 A
tariff for revenue only, free trade, or
what you will, received blow on both of
those occasions. Mr. Mckinley in 1896
promised a return to protection duties pure
and simple. and predicted return of pros
perity as the result. The country accepted
his appraisement of the situation, elected
him President. and the boom he predicted
materialized. In 1900 the tide of prosperity
was still running. and the country again
voted for protection AS a matter of fact
therefore, Organism in the shape of silver
and Clevelandism in the shape of the tariff
both went down in 1896 and in 1900
The extent to which the tariff is now an
issue grows out of the extraordinary sue
cess of the policy of protection. All that if
not more than. Mr.. Mckinley promised
has come to pass. Protection has built up
American Industries to that point where
they must look beyond the home market for
their profits. They must reach out and con-
quef new worlds of trade. But in doing
this they must still preserve their suprem-
acy at home. The problem must be solved
BY those who believe in protection for the
very reason that it has been produced by
the highly successful operation of the policy
OF protection. Our embarrassment of riches,
1t is safe to say, would not now confront us
rad our tariff policy during the past five
years been shaped by those WHO agree with
Mr.. Cleveland on that subject.
II 1t is foolish then for Mr.. Bryan still
II be urging free silver after the develops
ments of recent years. why is it not quite
as foolish for Mr.. Cleveland to be barking
back to the cry of tariff reform as inter-
preted ten years ago? What is his propo-
sltion today as to the tariff? Free raw ma
terials? The free admission of all trust
made articles? Or does he go now as far
as Tom Johnson does and propose to sweep
away tariff barriers of every description?

dirt, was sunk in a most peculiar man

when some Of the men on the tug no

the vessels We're opposite Ellis Island.
suddenly the barge careened, and the
men say that it was about to capsize.
Several Of them grabbed axes and be

vessel would sink under the enormous
weight OF dirt shouted to the crew TO
jump, and then threw himself into the
water. Then with a roar of kissing
steam that could be heard on the Bat
terry wall. the tug sank, dragging the
barge down with her. Several other tugs
in the harbOr went to the rescue of the
struggling men, and all were saved. none
