: edly intended by it's author not to be permanent, but to serve temporarily as MAXIMUM from which the fed eral government was empowered to offer reduction, in return for an equivalent concession on the part of a foreign country. President McKin- ley undertook honestly to carry out ] the purpose of the act. A number of reciprocity agreements were negotiat- [ ed, which, if ratified, would have had the two-fold result of cheapening many imported products for American consumers, and of opening and en- : larging foreign markets to American producers. Not one of those agree ments has met the approval of the Re publican masters of the senate. h. deed they did not even permit their consideration. In view of the atti- tude of the present executive, no new agreement need be expected from him. Nor does the Rpublican platform con tain a fayorabl reference to one of the suspended treaties. The reciprocity clauses of the Dirgley act seem des- tined to remain a monument of legiti- mate cozenage and political bad faith, unless the people take the matter in their hands at the ballot box and command a reduction of duties in re- turn for reciprocal concessions.
 Independence for the FiIipinos.
 Tn some quarters it has been as sumed that in the discussion of the Philippine question in my response, the phrase self government" was in tended to mean something less than independence. It was not intsnOcd that I should be understood to mean, TOT do I think as used 1t does mean less than independence. However. to eliminate all possibility for conjecture, now state that ! am in hearty az cord with that plank in ouT plaTfefm that favOrs doing for the r'ilipinos what we have already done fer the Cubans; and l favor making the prom ise 10 them now that we shall take such action as soon as they are req sonably prepared for it. If indepen- dence. such as the Cubans enjoy, can not be prudently granted to tAC Fui- pinos at this time, the promise thar it shan come the moment they are caDa- ble Of receiving 1t will tend to stimulate rather than hinder their development And this should be done not only ID justice to the Filipino, but to preserve our own rights: for free people can net withhold freedeom from snotner people and themselves remain free The toleraJion of tyranny over others will soon breed contempt for freedom and self-government and weaken our powers Of resistance to insiduous usur- patton of our constitutional rights

 The magnitude of the country and it's diversity of interests and popula- ton would enable a determined, ann bilious and able executive, unmind- ful of constitutional limitations and fir ed with the lust of power. to go far in the usurpation of authority and the aggrandizement of personal power be fore the situation could be fully appre- ciated or the people be aroused. The issue of imperialism winch has been thrust upon the country involves decision whether the Jaw of the land or the rule of individual caprice shall govern. The principles of i'm perialism may give rise to brilliant, startling, dashing results Out the principle of Democracy holds in check the brilliant executive and subjects him to the sober. conservative control of the people.
 The people of the United States stand at the parting of the ways. Shall we l follow the footsteps of our fathers along the paths of peace, prosperity and contentment, guided by the ever. living spirit of the constitution which they framed for us. or shall We go along other and untried paths. hither' to summed by all, following blindiy new ideals, which, though appealing with briiliance to the imagination and ambition. may prove a will-o'-the-yisp leading us into difficulties from which if may be impossible to eziricate our selves without lasting injury to our na' tional character and insututionsf
 The Tariff and Trusts.
 Tariff reform is one of the cardinal 1 principles of the Democratic faith and 1 the necessity for it was never greater than at the present time. It should be undertaken at once in the interest of all our people.

Once, from the manufacturers point of view, II meant expansion; today the marvel ous growth of our manufacturing in. dustries has far exceeded the competi- tive capacity of our domestic markets, and the term home market implies i contraction rather than expansion. If
 we would run our mills to their full capacity, thus giving steady employ ment to our workmen and securing to them and to the manufacturer the profits accruing from the increased i production. other markets must be found. Furthermore, when our man ufacturers are dependent on raw ma terials in whole or in part imported, l it is vital to the extension of their markets abroad that they secure their materials on the most favorable terms. : Our martyred President, Wm. Nc Kinley. appreciated this situation. He pointed out in his last address to the people that we must make sensible trade arrangements if we shall ex- tend the outlets for our increasing surplus" He said a system which pro vides a mutual exchange of com inodities is manifestly essential to the continued and healthful growth of our export trade. The period Of exclusiveness is past. The expan- sion of our trade and commerce is the pressing problem.

 policy must give way-that there must be a reduction of duties to enable our manufacturers to cultivate foreign markets. The last words of this President-who had won the affection Of his countrymcn-ought to be stud jed by every man who mas any doubt of the necessity of a reduction n tariff rates in the interest of the man ufacturer. They present with clear ness a situation and a proposed rem edy that prompted the provision ID our platform which declares that we favor liberal trade arrangements with Canada and with the peoples Of ot7e@ countries where they can be enter ed into with benefit to American agTl- culture, mining or commerce
 The persistent refusal of the Re puhl;ean majority in the federal senate to ratify the reciprocal treaties ne gotiated in pursuance with the advo- cated policy of MT.

also closing 10 the manufacturer The markets he needs and seeks abroad. Its unjust taxation burdens the peo- pie generally, forcing .hem 10 pay eS- eessive prices for food, fuel, clothing and other neceasaries of life. it levies duties on many articles not normally imported in any considerable amount, which are made extensively at home. for which the most extreme protectionist would hardly justify pro tecsive taxes. and which in large amounts are exported. Such duties have been and will continue to be a direct incentive to the formation of huge industrial combinations, which, secure from foreign competl- ton, are enable to strife domestic competition and practically to monop- olize the home market.
 It contains many duties imposed for the express purpose only, as was openly avowed, of furnishing a basis for reduction by means of reciprocal trade treaties. which the Republican administration, impledly. at least, promised to negotiate. Having, on this promise. secured the increased duties, the Republican party leaders, spurred on by protected interests. de sfeated the treaties negotiated by the fexecutive, and now these same inter- ests cling to the benefit of these du- ties which the people never intended they should have. and to which they have no moral right
 Even now the argument most ire quently urged in behalf of the Ding 1,.r rrfo~n1 generally, is the necessity of caring for our infant industries. Many of these industries. after hundred years of lusty growth, are looming up as in- dustriaI giants. In their case, at least. the Dingley tariff invites cocsbi- nation, and monopoly, and gives iusti- hcalion to the oppression that the tar fir is the mother of trusts.
 For the above mentioned reasons, among others, The peop.e demand re- form of these abuses. and such re- form demands and shoIld receive im- mediate attention
 The two leading parties have al- ways differed as tO the priac'pia or customs taxation. Our party has always advanced the theory that the object is the raising of rsve1 que for

lowing story of narrowing experience
Of one of the members Of his family !:
4" My wife," he says, &" was assailed for
fifteen years by a combination of all
ments following the birth of our first
child. The food she ate fermented in
her stomach, she had frequent dizzy
spells, her limbs were swollen and pain
was unable to sleep and she was many
times on the verge of heart failure.
physicians gave her only temporary
relief. Finally the favorable reports Of
some relatives and neighbors led her
to make trial of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. She expert
rienced improvement almost at once.
They relieved her sleeplessness, the
smothering sensations have disappeared
and have not annoyed her for years.
They freed her from stomach trouble
and the dropsical tendency was miti-
gated. The progress of the rheuma-
tisln, which had begun to make her
fingers crooked, was stayed and the pain
was banished. In every respect they
gave her more help than any other rem
edy she had ever used, and she is today
in better health than for many years.

OFFICIAL CUP OF COFFEE.
Proper Method Of Brewing the Bev-
erage to Be Determined In
Washington.

By direction of the secretary of agri-
culture the bureau Of plant industry is to
take up at ence experiments to deter
mine the best manner In which to brew q
cup of coffee. To this end, says a Wash
ington report, T. L. Lewton, a specially
trained expert, has been engaged. The
view OF the department is that cup of
coffee is good because of the manner in
which it is brewed, rather than from the
quality of the bean from which the bev-
erage IS made. 1t will be appreciated by
all persons acquainted with the art and
mystery of coRee-rnaking that various con-
ditions, apparently trivial in themselves,
have to be taken into consideration in
producing the beverage.
For instance, in the process Of roasting
the beans may be more or less damaged
by being under or over done, and the
flavor of the coffee thus impaired to a
corresponding degree. Hence the necessity
for ideal conditions In roasting. Again, the
effects of water at various temperatures
upon the ground coffee and the proper
period for infusion will, for the first
time in the history of cofce-making, be
thoroughly and accurately ascsrtained.
The retention of caffeine, the active
principle of coffee, to which it owes its
stimulating effects, and the elimination of
the cafeotannic and caffeic acids, which
are not only injurious to health, but COM
municate an unpleasant, bitter taste to
the beverage, will be, of course, the prin-
cipal objects.

MURMURS FROM GROUND.
Strange Sounds Heard for Many Gen.
turtles on the Red Sea
Borders.

A singular phenomenon occurs on the
borders of the Red sea to a place called
Nakous, where intermittent underground
sounds have been heard for an unknown
number of centuries. 1t is situated about
half mile distant from the shore,
whence long reach of sand ascends rap
idly to height of 800 feet. This reach is
about 800 feet wide and resembles an am
phitheater, being walled by low rocks.
? The sounds coming up from the ground
at this place recur at intervals of about
an hour. They at first resemble a low
murmur, but ere long there is heard a
loud knocking, somewhat like the strokes
of bell and which at the end of about
five minutes becomes SO strong as to agi-
tate the sand. The explanation of this
curious phenomenon given by the Arabs
is that there is a convent under the
ground here and that these monks ring
for prayers. So they call it Nakous,
which means bell.
The Arabs affirm that the noise so
frightens their camels when they hear it
as to render them furious. Philosophers
attribute the sound to suppressed volcanic
action-probably to the bubbling of gas
or Vapor underground.
