WHAT PARKER MEANS
THE DEMOCRATIC PURPOSE DIS.
CLOSED IN HIS LETTER.
It Is Notice to all Business, Trade,
Industry and Labor to Be on the
Lookout for Legislation that Will
Greatly Facilitate Foreign compe-
tition.

Increased foreign competition with
the products of American labor is the
keynote of Candidate Parker's treat
ment Of the tariff question in his for
NAL letter of acceptance, Tariff re.
form, he says, Is one of the cardinal
principles of the Democratic faith. SO
it is. There never was time when
the Democratic party did not seek to
reform the tariff for the benefit Of
foreign producers and to the detri-
ment Of domestic wage earners. 1t
has never failed to regard as oppres-
sive and burdensome a tariff so
framed as to increase home produc-
tion, home employment, home wages.
To remove the burdens of more work
and more wages the Democratic party
stands perpetually consecrated.
The letter Of acceptance leaves no
doubt as to what the Democratic
party proposes to do with the tariff.
True, 1t does not go quite as far as
the st. Louis platform goes In de-
nouncing protection as robbery, and
1t contains no threat Of instant repeal
Of all protective duties; but 1t does
give assurance that through revision
direct and reduction indirect by
means Of reciprocity concessions de-
signed to let in cheap foreign goods
the Dingley law shall gradually but
surely be shorn Of its protective func-
tions. 1t is a notice to all business,
all industry, all production, all labor
to prepare for tariff changes, to be on
the lookout for the indefinite and the
unknown. Accordingly, in the event Of
Democratic success at the polls, bust
ness operations must face period Of

1t was only moment past ten
o'clock when General Garden walked
briskly up the marble steps and en-
tered the Morris building. He stopped
at the outer railing and addressed
Mr.. Mason, the President of the
company.
Il hold an option on ten thousand
shares of l.. & o. STOCK" said the gen.
eral, producing an envelope from an
inside pocket.
"Yes? Mr.. Mason raised his eyes
with faint show of interest, and
tapped the brass rail with a pencil.
80 l understand, General Garden"
Under its terms can take up the
stock at a stipulated figure, provided
the market price is above twenty.six
dollars a share"
THAT is the agreement. You owe
us about two hundred and eighty
thousand dollars on that stock, Cen
eral Garden. Do you wish to pay 1t
today"
A sarcastic smile played around the
corners Of Mr. Mason's mouth.
Il do. demand the stock and will
meet the terms in cash"
Every well, General Garden, 1t can
quickly be arranged"
There was no change OF expression
on the grave face Of the banker as
he turned to a clerk and ordered him
to produce the stock from the vaults.
Mr.. Mason glanced at the option and
made a rapid calculation.
1.-TWO hundred and eighty-two thou
sand, four hundred and sixty-seven
dollars and seventeen cents" he said,
passing over a slip Of paper. as that
your figure?"
General Garden bowed and mo-
toned to one OF his companions, who
placed a satchel on the counter. From
its depths General Garden produced
the money demanded and exchanged
It for the stock.
81 trust your faith in the value Of
these certificates may not prove
amiss," said Mr.. Mason with an icy
smile. 81 bid you good day, sir"
General Garden bowed gravely and
turned to the door. AS he did so Ar.
thur Morris entered, his face flushed
with triumph. In his haste he ran
into General Garden.
81 beg your pardon! oh, IT'S you,
is IT." and an evil light came to his
eyes. what in hell are you doing
here? You're diseharged-fred; dye
understand? Get out Of here and
keep outl"
Morris stepped behind the brass
railing and from that retreat shook
his hand threateningly at the man
who had aroused his rage. General
Garden deliberately removed bis
glasses and walked towards him.

doubt and uncertainty, when Droduc-
ton is Of necessity cut down, when
purchases Of materials are curtailed,
when working people are compelled
to accept less wages or none at all.
This is in very truth and without ex'
aggeratlon the prospect held out. 1t
is exactly what would happen, what
must happen, the moment 1t is known
that the tariff destroyers Of the Demo
cratic party have obtained control Of
national legislation. And II Is not es-
sential that Democrats should capture
both houses OF Congress along with
the Presidency In order to bring
about this condition. Mr.. Parker
thinks that even with a Republican
majority in the Senate, the Demo
cratic scheme Of tariff ripping and
free trade reciprocity would have an
excellent outlook, for. says he:
ut should be remembered that the
Republican party includes many revis-
ionists, and believe 1t will shrink
from defying the popular will express
ed Enthusiastically and peremptorily at
the ballot box"
Judge Parker is not alone in think
ing It more than possible that tariff
reduction originating in a Democratic
House and backed by Democratic
President would have an excellent
chance in the senate. He has done
well-better than he intended-to
draw attention to this probability. He
has furnished a conclusive reason
why no one who wants the tariff let
alone should vote for Parker and
Davis.
The presentment Of the subject OF
reciprocity consists chiefly in misquot-
ing and pervertlng what President
Mckinley said In his Buffalo speech.
This is an old dodge, and not alto
gether a creditable one for Preslden-
tial nominee L. resort to. Mr.. Parker
studlously omits every qualifying
phrase and statement employed by
President Mckinley to show that in
any scheme Of reciprocity to be con-
sidered there must be no relaxation
OF the protection principle, no cur
tailment of domestic production, no
injury to home industry through the
increased admission Of competitive
products from the outside world. BY
the studied omission Of these qualify

The Salt Of the Earth.

II was a damp day, when evil spiritA
held high carnival. Many things went
crosswise under the spell Of their
wjtchery, but they exercised a particu-
larly baleful influence on the salt,
which clogged and stuck, and In spite
of vigorous shaking and pounding,
refused to sift out of the boxes. All
the lunchers in a restaurant found
themselves handicapped by this aggre-
CATION Of seasonable PARTICLES. One
woman alone solved the problem Of
saltlng her food properly. She, after
repeated attempts to dlslodge a few
grains, drew a steel hairpin from be-
meath her hat, cleared the perforations
in the top Of the shaker, stirred the
salt to a powder and proceeded to
season her vegetables.
The man opposite sat amazed at
this truly feminine expedlent for run
ming the universe. Once he seemed
on the point Of demonstrating. but he
thought better Of 1t and went on eat
ing in silence. In fact, everybody re-
NAMED silent except a fat man at a
nearby table. He brought his face
into alarming proximity to a plate Of
steaming soup and gurgled softly:
"Well, I'll be darned!"

ing restrictions Mr.. Parker misquotes
and falsifies Mckinley deliberately
and with intention. In so doing he
has brought forward no new induce
ment for Republicans to intrust to
Democratic free trade hands the pro-
lection reciprocity advocated by Nc
Kinley, Blaine, Dingley and Reed.
Taken as a whole, the Parker let
ter Of acceptance may be said to ap.
peal rather adroitly to that uneasy
element in the republican party which
is always hankering for some sort Of
tariff tinkering, but it fortunately
happens that that element prefers to
seek for the realization Of its ideals
inside, and not outside, of the Repub-
lican party, while the let-well-enough'
alone element the great prepondering
stand-pat section of the party, will be
more firmly than ever convinced Of
the supreme folly of once more bid
ding for disaster by permitting the
Democratic party to control tariff leg
islation. Judge Parker does not i'm
prove on acquaintance. His latest
literary effort has not added to his re
nown.

be proud of you. But, Jessie, you
must not let Mr.. Blake propose to you.
You won't will you, Jessie?"
"Why?" asked Jessie in surprise.
Because" and Edith faltered.
She lowered her eyes in confusion,
but when she looked again in Jessie's
face, they famed with passion.
"Oh, Jessie, can't you understand?
I'm jealous of you, horribly, madly
Jealous" and she threw herself sob
bling on her cousins breast. 81 know
it's not your fault that he loves you,
but you can make him stop. Please
make him stop. II 1t wasn't for you
he would love me. Tell him-tell him
anything so that he will know that
you don't love him! oh, Jessie, won't

What can | tell him." asked Jes-
sic in amazement. 81 cant make him
propose and then commend him to an
other. But, Edith, darling, I'm SO
sorry, so awfully sorry!"
When Jessie could command herself
she asked il Edith really loved Jim.
Il loved him the moment saw him,
and he fell in love with you at the
same instant" declared Edith Han
cock, whose intuition had told her the
truth. Make him stop, Jessie; you
can find some way to do it; l know
you can. oh. why are people always
falling in love with those who don't
love them, and are blind to those who
love them to death?"
Jessie could not answer that world
old question, and vainly attempted to
soothe her. In anger and mortifca-
ton Edith rushed from the room, and
when Jessie knocked at her door a
few minutes later there was no re-
Sponse but the muf1ed sound Of sobs.

Let us look in on another scene.
There was no outward sign of ex-

Cosmopolitan opened at loss Of
several points, but the selling by
Blake brokers was not so heavy as
had been expected, and the stock raj
lied when given support by Morris
and others interested with him. The
young millionaire speedily regained
his courage.
Bid 'em up; bid 'em up!" he whis-
pered to his head broker. We've got

They dare not sell. Take all they
offer and bid for more!"

Both Ancient and Sound.

The New York Times says "the VI
tai necessity OF high tariff to the
farmer is, Of course, demonstrated by
Republican enthusiasts by the exhibit
tion of the ancient argument that pro.
lection by building up thriving manu-
featuring towns and villages makes a
market for the product Of his farm"
There is no question about the an
tiquity OF the argument. II was first
employed by Adam Smith, who plain
ly stated the advantages Of contlgulty
Of farm and factory. Is the Times
prepared to deny that the nearby mar
ket is better than remote one? Can

into her cousins room. "Mr. Blake

lessly. "They talked a minute and

was lighted with Joy as she clasped
her cousins hands.

R.pubIIoan, and Labor Lawn.

No candid person, familiar with the
facts, can hesitate to admit that the
Republican party has shown a much
greater interest in the welfare Of la
Dor than has the Democratic party.
Take, for example, factory inspection
laws. Out Of twenty.elght Republican
states, twenty-one have established
factory inspections services. while but
three out Of seventeen Democratic
states have such services. and even in
those three states the service is not
thoroughly enforced. ThIrty-one Of the
forty-hve states prohibit the employ
ment in factories Of children under
~ years Of ege. OF these thirtyone
states twenty-one are Republican and
ten are Democratic. Twelve states
have enacted laws to regulate sweat
shops" and all but one Of these states
are Republlcan.-Omaha Bee.
