White claims that Governor Bailey

next day White presented himself at
Topeka, hied himself into the guber-

' y
dorsed for vice president that
a brilliant and eloquent Tennessee
Democrat, United States Sena-
tor E. W. Carmack, and in SO doing the
Tennessee Democrats acted wisely and
periodically. When the Missouri con-
yention meets, Missouri Democrats will
indorse for president that most emf
nent Missouri Democrat, General Fran
els Marion Cockrell, who is now serv-
ing his thirtieth year in the senate of
the United States, and by such action
the Missouri Democrats will do a
grand, good thing. The time has sure
ly come at last when the hoodoo should
be removed from the statesmen of what
are popularity known as the fifteen
southern states so far as the presidency
and vice presidency are concerned.
Why should they be barred from the
highest honors of the republic? None
are more patriotic; none are ADLER. And
no living man is more familiar with
the entire machinery of the federal
government than is General Cockrell.
hail the action of the Tennessee Dem
ocrats and what is certain to be the
future action of the Missouri Demo
Gratis as the beginning of new line of
conduct which will restore the De-
mocracy to its old supremacy in the
country. Carmack is in every way
worthy of the enthusiastic support of
Tennesseeans- indeed of all Democrats.
His public career has been compare
lively brief, but be has made his name
known wherever the English tongue is
spoken as an eloquent champion of hui
man liberty. He is one, and fore
most one, in that coterie of splendid
young Democrats who have recently
gone to the senate and who have ac-
complished so much to strengthen De
mocracy in that body and to make Of
the Democratic minority fighting
force which the Republicans, notwith-
standing their great excess of num-
bers, fear to meet in open conflict
Carmack would make tiptop vice
president, and in case of the. death of
the president would make good presi-
dent.

Democratic presidential Warwicks
haven't been saying much lately about
a man who can easily be elected presi-
dent if nominated, and that is Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley. the hero of San
tiago. Lately he has been making
tour of the country in company with
other dignitaries of Scottish Rite Ma
sons, and everywhere he has been most
royalty welcomed by Masons and non
Masons, Democrats and Republicans,
Populists and Socialists-in fact, by cit
liens of all sorts. There was no poll
tics whatever in this triumphal tour,
but it served nevertheless to demon
strate that the great admiral is the
most popular American now living.
Strange to say that, while several mill
tary heroes have been made president,
no naval hero has been so honored, al
though the naval yictors are more be-
loved by the people than the land con-
querors. 1t may turn out that this
year will see a naval hero elevated to
the highest civil station.

carved out for himself a home. It was
thus that the farmer of the west broke
up the prairie and in defiance OF storm
and privation and solitude turned it into
a garden. These pioneers in mercantile
and agricultural effort met many disap-
pointments and many failures. Thou
sands fell by the wayside, broken in body
and spirit borne down by blasted hopes
Thousands entered occupations which,
under the conditions, would not pay, and
disappointment came.
And who has ever arisen in congress
with proposal that these men--the mer-
chant the farmer the laborer-struggling
against the tide of adversely, should receive
government aid? Who has ever thought
of substituting any of these common NOR
tails who have followed those ordinary
activities which, after all, have been the
source of all stable progress in the world?
Competition is prevented by high tar
ifs, which enable the manufacturer to
maintain high prices. The people pay
these high prices, knowing that if com
petition were permitted by lower tariffs
the prices of the goods would be lower
Hence the people contribute in the price
paid for nearly everything purchased a
part thereof, great or small to aid the
manufacturer to make a profit in his
business The only difference between
this system and subsidy is that in a
money from the people and pays it direct
~ to the favored beneficiary, the ship
owner in this case, while under the pro-
tective system the people pay directly to
the manufacturer their contribution to
his profit in the increased price of goods,
which price could not be maintained with
out the high tariffs.
So that the people are accustomed to
bear burdens for the upbuilding of others.
They have been liberal indeed. They
have consented to live in modest houses.
while the men to whom they paid trib-
ute have built palaces. They have
been content to spend their lives in the
quiet of the neighborhood in which they
were born, while the objects of their gem
crosby have Travelled in luxury in foreign
lands. They have seen the little factories,
which were struggling few years ago
just as the merchant was then struggling,
just as the farmer was then struggling
grow into giant industries, strong enough
to control the markets of the world, and
still they pay tribute greater in amount
than ever before.
The people have been liberal indeed, but
I do not believe that they are ready to
bend their backs to the additional burden
contemplated by this measure. do not
believe that they are ever going to vote
upon themselves a ship subsidy in order
to build up new industry which after
years of benefits WILL like the other trusts,
turn upon it's benefactors and bleed them
for high prices, while foreigners will be
the objects of their favor.
If the treasury is so overlooking that
we can afford to take therefrom for aid
of shipbuilders and shipowners, I think
we should reduce the tariff and thus re-
duce the income
