LIBERTY THROUGH LAW.

The many wise and patriotic z
tons which President Roosevelt has
made IN his western trip ought to be
remembered by the American people and
it is not to be doubted that most of them
will be. At Butte, Mont, where the
he was there specially as the guest of
the wage workers and he talked to them
in a way that ought to make a generally
good impression. ours is a government
of liberty through and under the law"
said the president. mo man is above
it and no man is below II. This is not
and never shall be a government Of
plutocracy or the mob" He went on to
say that this government must be a gov
eminent of the people, a government
of law and order.
What is to be said of that magnificent
expression of the president of the
United States. 1t means what every
intelligent man must understand, that
whatever their wants or demands may
be, however just and fair, II you please,
their demands. the absolute arbitrator
is public opinion and against that
nothing can stand.
President Roosevelt understands that
and hence his admonition to labor to be
discreet and conservative in it's conduct.
He recognizes the value of the wage
worker, but at the same time he Toes
not forget that the employer has also
rights that are worthy of consideration.
The great idea of Roosevelt is that the
law must be respected, whether 1t bears
down on the combination of capitalists
or the combination of labor. In either
case the law is supreme and must be
enforced.
That seems to be the whole policy of
President Roosevelt. He is absolutely
Indifferent to individuals or rpora
lions He simply insists that all shall
comply with the law and that is all that
the American people ask or expect of
him. Addressing the matter, as it may
properly be addressed, to the entire
w~orkingmen of the country, the ques-
ton may properly be asked whether the
%admonition OF the president of the
United States is not worthy OF their
most serious consideration.

NOTES.

DR.. Henry Jackson OF Vermont and S. K.
Crocker OF Seattle, have Just started from
San Francisco to make the trip from coast
to coast in a twenty-horse power automo-
bile.
The thriftiest robber on record was the
Maine h~ighwayman who held up a citizen
the other day and, after taking his purse,
which proved to contain only a few dollars,
picked his teeth for more than 800 worth
OF gold.
The STANDARD snun company OF Nash
vile, Tenn, has brought suit against the
American Snuff company, alleging con-
spiracy to injure the business OF the former
concern. Damages are laid at $4,000 Not
TO be sneezed at, even by the Snuff trust.
Many different kinds OF cards OF thanks
have appeared in newspapers. but Oswego,
Kan, claims the prize with one from i've
prisoners in the Labette county Jail. who
beg to thank the county for the good
meals, kind treatment and compulsory
baths"
A number Of prominent business people
Of New Haven, Conn, recently invited
Lord Roberts, field marshal OF the British
army. to visit New Haven and Yale. Lord
Roberts replied that, while he had made
no arrangements yet for paying his long
wished-for visit to America, he would avail
himself OF the invitation when It was pos
sible for him to do so.
In his recent brochure on lola. N. Faguet
Of the Academic Francaise says: "Zola
began to write too soon. Every man who
writes before he is 80 and who does not
devote the golden age of his life-from the
Goth year TO the 3Oth-to reading, observing
and thinking. without writing a line, runs
the risk of having no brain and OF being
but a journeyman author. There are some
exceptions, but they are rare"
When King Humbert OF italy was as
sassinnted his widow, Queen Margherita,
was very anxious that he should be buried
in Turin, where lie all others OF the house
OF Savoy except the great Victor EN-
manuel, Humbert's father. Moreover. HIS
majesty did not wish TO offend the papal
party by a state funeral in Rome. The
new king, Victor Emmanuel III, announced
that the murdered ruler was to have fitting
burial In the Pantheon. Victor" cried his
mother. Il see you want to break my
heart. You offend my religion as well as
my affections" Il am sorry, mother. 4"
he said gently. and then added: THE re-
ligion which is offended at a martyr being
buried in his own capital and lying beside
his own father needs radical changes"

As TO CANADIAN REcIPRooI7Y.

II looks very much as II one of the
commanding questions Of the immediate
future is to be that of reciprocity be-
tween the United States and Canada
and that this question would be a very
important one between the eastern and
feeling in New England today is very
much in favor Of reciprocity with Can
ada, the effect Of which would undoubt-
eddy be favorable to that section If 1t
could obtain the concessions which 1t
would naturally ask for, but on the other
hand there is western opposition on the
entirely reasonable ground that what
would be satisfactory to New England
would not be to the advantage of the
west, on any proposition that Canada
has yet submitted as a basis of recl-
procity.
The advocates of reciprocity in New
England are perfectly willing that there
shall be a free exchange Of natural
products between the two countries, by
which the American farmer would suf-
fer from the competition of the Cana
dian a~griculturists, but the manufac-
turers of New England are not willing
that there should be free trade In the
manufactures of Canada with this coun-
try. They would let down the bars so
far as our natural products are con-
cerned, as was done in the old reel
procity treaty, but would keep them up
in respect to manufactures. The tariff
on American manufactured products
they would maintain against those of
Canada, while lowering or abolishing all
duties on agricultural products.
This proposed discrimination against
the American farmers, which was the
fatal character Of the treaty of 1854, will
find little support from the American
people today. However strong the senti-
ment of closer trade relations with u
northern neighbors may be, it does not
contemplate any concession or surrender
Of a single interest in this country. The
United States lie now as 1t has always
DNNA PNAANNNAJ "bAAAA6 hlC lhNO ACSA
procity with Canada on a basis of mu-
tual interests, but it is not now and never
will be disposed to make an agreement
with that country under which the Brit
ish manufacturer will have a preference,
so far as duties are concerned, in the
Canadian market, while the agricultural
producers Of the Dominion and Of the
United States are on equal terms in re-
gard to the tariff. Admitting that closer
trade relations between ourselves and
our northern n~eighbors is desirable, they
must be adjusted upon a perfectly fair
and equitable basis and as yet the Ca.
madam government has not proposed any
such basis. Whenever it does so there
is no doubt that our government will
earnestly consider the question of reci-
procity.

TAKING THE GOLD CURE.

Philadelphia Press: Prof. =. Benjamin
Andrews. whose ardor in behalf Of the FIRE,
coinage of silver forced him to give up the
presidency Of Brown university, and who Is
now chancellor OF the University of Ne
braska, at last begins to see the light OF
the golden day.
New York World: DR.. Andrews. like
Senator Stewart and unlike Mr.. Bryan,
has a mind accessible TO a new idea. He
does not retrsct the reasoning by which
he found in blmetallism the logical escape
from the conditions he believed to exist in
1895 but he admits that he was mistaken
In assuming that those conditions did exist.
DR.. Andrews say that he was in great
and inexcusable error in believing that
the production OF gold had passed it's
maximum. The error was certainly great.
but not inexcusable. 1t was shared by
many authorities OF the time.
Philadelphia Record: Dr.. Andrews says
the gold production checked the fan OF
prices in 1897 and has since then raised
them considerably. Taking the average
prices of forty-ive commodities for the
eleven years 1857 as 100, DIR. Sauerbeck's
index figures are IS in 1884, 70 in 1889, rs
in 1900, 20 in 1901 and 69.S in September.
1902. There was a low point, but It was in
1896, and not in 1897. That low point was
81, but It was In the year Of the. largest
gold production in the world up to that
time and the previous five years had
yielded far more gold than any other Ave
years in history. The high point was in
1900, when there was a heavy falling off in
gold production. Since then there has been
a large increase in gold production and
some decrease Of prices. Prices are about
80 per cent lower than in 1866 to 1877, and
more than a third Of all the gold produced
in the world since 1892 has been produced
In the last twenty-seven years.

PROSPERITY WILL CONTINUE.
No shadow of Serious Import on the
Industrial Horizon.

Philadelphia Press.
There is some speculation on the part
of writer's on Industrial topics as to the
future Of the iron and steel trade because
of the apparent Indifference OF buyers at
the present time. A feeling seems to pre-
vail among some Of these experts that there
will be another depression such as pre-
vailed following the panic Of 1873 and as
existed in 1885, 1894 and in 1896. But there
is nothing in view to substantiate that feel
ing and nothing can we'll produce such
a change unless the democrats elect the
next president. But even that would not
bring about the change unless there was
a prospect of their carrying through a
tariff bill. and as the senate now stands
the outlook would be poor Tor such a
democratic measure.
The election Of q democratic president
would have a bad effect, just as it did in
1884 Mr.. Cleveland's tariff views were un-
known at that time, for the reason, as he
said privately, that he did not know much
about the tariff. The republicans controlled
the senate and there was little prospect of
any democratic legislation, but the indus
trial interests were uncertain and the
production of pig iron decreased 10 per
cent the first year. The election Of Presi-
dent Harrison in 1883 removed all danger
and the production Of pig iron increased to
9 ,202, 703 tons in 1890.
The second election of Cleveland in 1892,
with his free trade views well defined. had
a very depressing effect, and in 1894 there
was only 6.657,O0 tons Of pig iron produced.
a decrease of about % per cent. President
Mckinley was elected in 1896 to become
president March, 1897. AZ that time prices
were the lowest on record, but the prompt
passage of the Mckinley tariff brought
about a change which has continued up
to this time. making the most remark
able and prosperous record in the history
Of the nation. The production of pig iron
has almost doubled, and prices likewise
The production now is estimated to be at
the rate Of 10000, 900 tons, or over three
times what 1t was in 1894 under the dem
ocratic administration.
This rapid growth has continued since
the first election of Mckinley, and IL there
is no change in the government 1t will prob
ably go on indefinitely. There may be some
relaxation, but no depression. The produc-
tive capacity of blast furnaces and rolling
mills has increased over so per cent in
three years and yet the importations of
pig iron in this fiscal year will reach about
1000, 900 tons. Prices have been very high.
and are still very high, but contracts are
being made now for June and July deliv-
cries of No. l x foundry at 81 a ton.
Iron is an index to business generally.
Unless a belief should gain ground that a
democrat may be elected president next
year there will be no break m the continued
prosperity OF the nation. Prices in some
lines, forced unduly high by combinations,
may define somewhat. but that would be a
healthy movement. AS to any general
depression, It is not in view, nor is 1t likely
to become so for years to come.

MAKING LIGHT OF BRIBERY.
Attempts of Missouri Grafters to p
InriHe Dishonesty.
st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.


st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
One of the counsel for the defense in the
latest Doodle trial thought 1t good policy to
speak of the crime Of bribery as of no great
moment, and to refer to the fact that in a
former age bribery, was only a misde-
meanor. This line ofsreasoning seems to
have had a reverse effect upon the jury,
which fixed the sentence at six years, the
longest yet returned, mo doubt the treat
ment of crime in former periods, the dark
ages included, was somewhat different from
that Of the present era. Governments by
the ballot in the hands Of the people were
scarce in earlier periods. The Indulgence
of bribery would quickly destroy all the
constitutional governments on the face OF
the earth, and when a lawyer, addressing
a free people, tells them that bribery is an
offense Of little consequence he will get,
from a Jury with any self-respect and in
telligence, the same kind of righteous mes
sage that ended the Doodle trial Of last
week. 4
Bribery in a republic, If unpublished, is a
deadly poison and would do its work
quickly. The verdicts rendered by st. Louis
juries betray no weakness on this subject.
There may be some persons in the city who
think bribery a trihing fault, or even an
evidence OF s~martness, but they would be
wise to keep their opinions to themselves.
When ever venality seizes upon high
places and the people allow It to go unre-
buked, free government must inevitably
go to pieces. The rule OF boodlers, by
boodlers, for boodlers, will end the chapter
Of self-rule by the honest principles of the
masses. IN attorney who goes before a
Jury to pooh-pooh the seriousness OF brib-
cry is a boon in one respect. He will get
the maximum sentence for his client.

Breaking Into the Pension Roll.

Philadelphia Record.
The commissioner of pensions announces
n % per cent OF the soldiers enlisted in
the war with Spain have already applied
for pensions. The percentage of applica-
lions is nearly four times greater thar that
which followed i've years after the ending
OF the civil war. though the percentage
OF pensionable injury is doubtless much
less. The soldiers enlisted for the Spanish
war were able-bodied men. At the time of
their discharge they were carefully ex-
amined as to their physical condition. There
will consequently be greater difficulty in
proving their claim to disability incurred
in the government service.

When a young man is graduated from
college he reads an address, wherein he
says that people must do wonderful things
to attain success and climb high and

The fact is. the road to success has been
blazed so clearly that no one need go
astray. Success is easier tha failure.
There are thousands OF people TO direct
the young man. All the young need to do
to win success is to follow a few simple
