President Stickney is well adver-

been successful because they have
been concrete applications OF special
ideas. Convinced that the transmits
sissippi region was the natural COM
mercial habitat of the large sums OF

and Omaha, he has proceeded upon
the theory that this section must be

people west of the Mississippi to be

Mr.. Bolts Views

Editor Independent: Mr.. De Hart
and Major Bates have presented argu-
ments in support of the principle of
protection and the advisability of the
peoples party advocating that prin-
ciple, but those gentlemen do not
quote from the speeches of those we'll
nnown exponents of protection, the
late President Mckinley or the Hon.
James G.. Blaine, perhaps for fear of
weakening the effect of their argu-
ments, because of the repeated men--
ton those gentlemen made of reci-
procity.
Mr.. De Hart says: "The duties on
such goods as we can produce can be
made high enough to make up for the
difference between wages abroad and
wages here
Who is to decide the amount Of cash
difference between wages abroad and
wages here? III after the duties have
been adjusted to suit Mr.. De Hart for
eign goods should continue to come
| in. would he conclude that the duties
were too low and want them made
higher? A tariff levied on the goods
of a foreign manufacturer who has
an established trade in the country
will cause him to lose his trade with
| this country, forcing him to discharge
part OF his force of laborers. part OF

Bates standing In the ranks of the

can see no indications of republican
stampede to them, tariff or no tariff,
and | can see no reason why populists
should take step which would be
bound to ALLEVIATE some of their pres
ent adherents and antagonize those
who would otherwise be friendly and
who under certain contingencies would
naturally throw their strength to
them, in the vain hope of gaining any
considerable number of recruits from
a party that has ridiculed them in
season and out of season. Such a
back-down as is proposed by Mr.. De
Hart on the tariff question would be
turned by republicans to their credit
by saying: "See, the populists were
wrong and we we're right on the tariff
question. They now admit it, and
time will show that they are wrong
and we are right on all other ques-
| tions."
But their attitude on the tariff is
something for populists to decide, and

Philadelphia, Pa.
(Mr. Stern's position, viewed the
oretically, is unassailable. Beyond
any doubt congress has the cOnstitn-
tional power to prescribe by statute
not only the regulations to be OBJ
served in appealing cases to the SUI
preme court, but also it may make
exceptions as to what classes OF cases
may be appealed. BY prescribing that
no suit, assailing the constitutionality
of congressional act, may be begun
in any of the inferior courts OF the
United States by citizens of any state;
or by denying the right Of appeal to
the supreme court In such case, II 1t
be permitted in an inferior court, the
attack on congressional acts could be
limited to suits brought by one or
more of the states. But
Viewed from practical standpoint,
Mr. Stern's suggestion is at present
visionary in the extreme. With AID
rich, Elkins, Hanna, Quay, Ell al. in
the senate, each a millionaire lobby
ist for certain great corporations
who have every reason for opposing
such radical change In the Jurisdic-
tion of the supreme court, what
chance is there for the enactment OF
legislation providing such exceptions
and regulations as Mr.. Stern pro.
poses? None; absolutely none. AND
by the time congress could be had
free enough from corporation entan
clements to permit the passage o1
such an act, there would be no neces
sity for it: The supreme court always

cides cases in harmony with the pow

HOW CLARK BUYS A BOND
Which Guarantees His Family an ESs
tate, If lie Dies, and Himself
Home. IL He Lives.

Mr.. Clark, aged thirty-five, is man.
ager of the elevator in the town OF Sa-
lem. The position pays him a good
salary, enabling him to support his
family and lay aside about $500 per
year. Though he is now living COM
fortably. he realizes that he must de-
wise some way of providing an income
for his declining years.
His idea is to buy farm. During
period of meditation as to whether
or not he shall purchase certain quar-
ter section of land which is for sale at
35, 900. he is interviewed by represen-
tative Of the Old Line Bankers Life IN
surance company OF Lincoln, Nebraska,
who endeayors to interest him in kife
Insurance.
Hardly does the agent get well start
ed. when he is interrupted by Mr.. Clark
who tells him of his intention to buy
a farm. He states that he Is about to
make small payment on the purchase
price and will, If the agent can offer
anything better be- an interested

"Well." said the agent, Suppose You
buy a farm worth 5000 by paying the
small sum Of $175.25 annually without

tract for same containing clause spe-
cffying that, should you die at any
time. the party from whom you BUY

ments, aid give your estate clea.
| title: or IL you live to the maturity OF
the contract, give you not only the deed
| to the land, but pay you as large per-
| centage of profit as you could reason
ably expect to make from the property.
| Would you buy a farm on. those
| terms?"
Of course Mr.. Clark was interested.
| and since the Company secures each
| and every contract issued with de-
/ ,osit of approved securities with the
| State of Nebraska, he expressed will
ngness to become a party to such an
agreement.
! "Well." continued the agent, IF you

why this should be so is remarkable,
since the thermometer registers the
same mid winter and mid summer alike,
the bathing is better In winter than in
summer, the foliage is greener, and the

ably due TO the fact that the great bulk
Of the tourist traffic here Is from the
hot towns on the interior of California;
they come to the sea shore for change
