way to Beat the Trust.

II instead Of scolding the beef trust
for putting the prices Of meat animals
down below the possibility of profit to
the farmer. farmers would feed, fatten,
butcher and cure their own meat and
sell to city customers, they could af-
ford to smile instead Of scoid. That
this can be probably done few
farmers who do it can testify, while
any farmer down to the thirty-first
parallel Of latitude should be ashamed
to acknowledge that he can't make as
good bacon, lard or sausage or corned
or jerked beef as the packers, IL he
does not know how to do 1t, 1t is his
own fault and comes of a combination
OF ignorance and Incidence, The high
est priced bacon, sides, hams, Shout

by farmers, and these products have
largely shut the American packers

the need of care when working about

the freedom of the place. A blow from
one of these woolly cannon balls IN

add to comfort or the sense OF personal

by hard boards the danger IL greatly
increased Some Of these animals seem
to have an ablebodied and constantly
growing grudge against human beings
and have no scruples against murder

sion for sinking fund, ought not to

a great saving Of time during the busy

Of the time lost In seeking some tool not
In its place Is greater than the cost Of
the tool. Much Of the loss Of time and
exposure of tools is due to lack Of some

PARKER'S FAILURE.
Inability to Arouse Either Interest or
Enthusiasm.

Enpn uSIa me
Alton B. Parker made an unfortunate
impression by his speech of acceptance.
This impression was deepened by his
long delayed and much-corrected letter.
By these two efforts the Democratic can
didate must be judged, for he has never
done anything noteworthy, nor said any
thing to be remembered, either before
or since his nomination.
Upon every point raised by the candi-
date in his two utterances Mr.. Parker
has failed to carry the sympathies or
the judgment of the people. In the first
place the lack of mental grasp revealed
by the man named for the highest office
in the gift of the people is painfully evil
dent to the most careless reader of his
formal statements of opinions and con-
victions upon national issues.
The effect is that of q narrow intelli-
gence laboring to meet expectations
founded upon an estimate it cannot full
fill. The absence of anything like broad
views of national questions is felt, nat
urally, when one remembers that the
utterances under examination are put
forth for the set purpose of gaining the
suffrages of the entire people of this i'm
mense country.
WEIGHED AND FOUND WANT
ING" is the verdict already passed upon
Mr.. Parker's intellectual makeup, by the
intelligent, instructed, thoughtful men
and women of his own party, as we'll as
those of the Republican persuasion.
With the emotional, the enthusiastic
and more or less irrational masses of the
people, Mr.. Parker's failure is still more
conspicuous. He has none OF the fire of
sentiment, the eloquence, the magnetism
which drew the proletariat irresistibly to
Bryan in the early days Of the free sill
yer mania. Parker repels.
And, So the Democratic candidate has
failed. He has neither the powerful
individuality of the last President elect
ed by his party, nor the popular quail
ties of that party's candidate in 1900
and 1896. Dull, secretive, cold, Mr.. Par
ker is utterly unable to arouse enthusi-
assn, or even interest, in his candidacy.
No shutting, no shifting of ground such
as he has attempted III the matter of the
pension order, the trust suits the Phil
ippine and other problems, could for one
moment hoOdwink a wide-awake people.
His defeat was written in the book of
fate long before David Bennett Hill had
fixed upon him that baleful glance which
sees only what can be of use to the most
selfish and INSCRIPTIONS master of polit-
zeal wire-pulling in existence.

All hail to the man of clear vision
Whose mental and moral height
Gives, for outlook, a boundless horizon,
Who, seeing, dares face the light
Three cheers for the man who can do
things!
While others are wondering how!
Who, pledging himself to the truth and
the right,
Has never forgotten his VOW.
All hail to the man of true courage!
Who. never Sinking the fight,
Would choose the paths that lead
through peace,
By a calmer and loftier sight
Three cheers for the man who can see
things!
With vision strong and fine,
Who has led the land, with unerring
hand
To the Nations foremost line
To him, alone on the mountain,
Came the word that gave him power
To consecrate the Nation,
In the Nations darkest hour.
All hail to the man God appointed
To do what our hero has done!
God bless to the Nation the glory
Which he, for the Nation, has won!

LINCOLN TO SCHURZ.
Letter Written Thirty Eight Years
Ago that Is Appropriate Now.

Ago that Is Appropriate Now.
Mr.. Carl Schurz made a long speech
at Cooper Union in October, 1900, in
which he assailed President Mckinley
and denounced the policy of his admin
istration.
1t is appropriate, therefore, that this
letter of Abraham Lincoln to this same
Mr. Carl Schurz should now be read
again by the people. 1t was written
thirty-eight years ago, having been dated
Nov. "a, 1862, or in the second year of
the war for the Union:
l have just received and read your letter
Of the Goth. The purport of it Is that we
lost the late elections and the administra-
ton is failing because the war is unsuccess-
full and that ] must not hatter myself that
1 am not justly to blame for it.
the administration fails, and that l will be
blamed for it, whether l deserve it or not.
And l ought to be blamed If could do
better. You think l could not do better;
therefore / blame you for blaming me.
/ understand you now to be willing to ac-
cept the help of men who are not Republi-
cans, provided they have heart in it"
Agreed. l want no others. But who is to
be the judge of hearts, or of heart in itY'
If l must discard my own judgment and
take yours, l must also take that of others;
and by the time | should reject all / should
be advised to reject, l should have none
left Republicans or others--not even your
self.
For be assured, my dear sir, there are
men who have ''heart in it, that think you
are performing your part as poorly as you
think l am performing mine.
This has been printed before, but it
bears reading many times as an exhibi-
ton of the spirit of the patient, for
bearing, humorous Lincoln under the jab-
bling of a chronic Pathfinder who owed
to him only gratitude and profound re-
spect. Besides, it has a special applica-
ton to the long speech of Mr.. Carl

The man who advocates the destruc-
ton of all trusts and corporations is a
political quack and demagogue. Large
corporations employ hundreds of thou
sands of men. To destroy them would
throw an army of workingmen out of en-
ployment. The thing to do is to enforce
the laws against corporations and trusts
which are violating them and thus put
all on law-obeying basis. That
has been President Roosevelt's policy
and will continue to be.

Edward Atkinson, one Of the so-called
anti-imperialists, recently prepared a
newspaper article in which he attempted
to show that the Philippines may have
cost, indirectly, over a billion dollars
The letter probably was prepared for the
benefit of Judge Parker, for the Demo
cratic candidate gives Atkinson as au-
thority for the statement that the tax
payers have paid nearly a billion and a
quarter dollars for the islands. What
was Atkinson paid for his misleading
article?
