ERAL CIRCULATION in the United

ERAL CIRCULATION in the United
States that still pretends to teach
populism," but they seem to accept
as matter Of course the further
statement in that edition that in 1897
Bryan told the writer of the screed
that he and the populist leaders had
arranged months before the St Louis
convention to nominate him for the
presidency.
The writer of that screed is an ex-
populist of the mid-road variety. He
certainly knew of the existence of
both the World and the Mercury.
Either he had some doubts about the
populism they pretend to preach, or
felt that they had no such circulation
as would warrant the use of the term
general" but the chances are that
he did not intend to slight either one
of them. He seems to be man who
jumps at conclusions based on sus-
picion-whO gives as solemn state
ment of fact what exists only in his
imagination.
If he had said that The Independent
has probably the largest general cir
culation, that would be true. But
there are other populist papers of
general circulation, the World and
the Kansas Commoner being the best
that reach this Office. The Mercury
seems to have contracted Hearstitis
and can hardly be called a political
paper now.
For the information of the World
we would say that the Nonconformist
and Advocate did not die; they be-
came farm papers.

LOGIC OF BARBARISM

The republicans have started out to
discussing the tariff in the old way,
for they evidently believe that the
tariff is to be vital issue in the next
campaign. The thing that perplexes
Inc Independent Is that any man
could be influenced by this old post
hoe argument that Henry George so
thoroughly annihilated with his the
atre illustration.
Senator Gallinger delivered set
speech at Detroit the other day in
which he contrasted conditions in the
country in 1895, the year before the
passage of the Dingley law, with con-
ditions in 1902. He pointed out the
great increase since 1895 in railroad
business, in bank clearances, in saw
ings deposits, in the money in circula-
ton, in the exports of the country and
the domestic manufactures. Then he
said:
These figures tell the story OF
the difference between low and
high tariffs more eloquently and
convincingly than tongue or ora
tor possibly do"
He did not attempt to tell how the
Dingley tariff effected these things.
The assertion was simply that the
tariff was enacted and afterwards"
these things came to pass, therefore"
they were the result of the tariff. 1t
is the old barbaric logic and the sort
of reasoning by which congress guild
ed their lives. There was an eclipse
of the sun. Afterwards" the chief
suddenly died. Therefore" the eclipse
of the sun caused his DEATH That
was the logic of the savage and is
still the logic of Senator Gallinger.
The Independent invites Senator
Gallinger to attempt to prove that
the tariff caused any one of the
things that he mentions. 1t would be
pleased to know how the tariff in
creased the amount of money in cir
culation which is one of the things
that he mentions. Most people be-
lieve that the amount of money in cir
culation was increased by the coin
age of gold and silver and the issue
of more national bank notes. Senator
Gallinger asserts that that was not
the case at all. 1t was increased by
raising the tariff. After all, that sort
of logic may not be barbaric, but
simply republican idiocy.
