tom, and this probably accounts for the fact that
"constitutionalsm" is the first issue discussed In
his letter. The people certainly are more inter
ested In the trusts, the tariff, and our colonial
policy. eff we would retain our liberties" says
Judge Parker, eve cannot permit the ar
rogation of unconstitutional powers by the execu-
tive branch of our Government. The executive
should not be permitted to encroach upon the
other departments of the Government, and as
sumo legislative, or other powers, not expressly
conferred by the Constitutions"
Tariff reform is probably the one issue on
which the Democrats might have elected a Presi-
dent this year, and it is not surprising that
Judge Parker lays especial emphasis on this. He
scores the Dingley tariff and quotes with fine eff
rect from President McKinley's Buffalo speech:
The period of exclusiveness is past. The ex-
panslon of our trade and m is the press
ing problem. Commercial wars are Improbable.

prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are in
harmony with the spirit of the times; measures

what IS generally accepted as true that the Ding
ley rTaes on certain artiacles were made excessive
ly high with the distinct understanding that they
should be promptly reduced by reciprocity treaties
the protected interests, however, ltaer defeating
these treaties and waxing fat by unjust levies on
our people. Still Judge Parker concludes even
this with the dispiriting admission that 'Hthe Re-

form thta the Dingley tariff needs the slightest al

CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS
AS WE SEE IT.

The publication of Judge Parker's letter of ac-
ceptance was the chief event of last week in this
country. In the Russo-Japanese War 10 import
tant move was made by either side, but Russia
did announce that she is now going to raise a
colossal army and fight in dead earnest. The
cotton mill men met In Charlotte and, having
failed in all previous efforts to depress the price
of raw cotton, adopted the more sensible policy
of trying to raise the price of the manufactured
product. Senator Hoar, one of the ablest and
purest of our American statesmen, died Friday at
the ripe old age of seventy-six.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-10-04

In the first paragraph of Judge Parker's let
ter of acceptance, he again refers to his gold
standard telegram, reafirms his unqualified belief
in said standard and proceeds to a discussion of
other issues-"tarif reform, imperialism, eco
nomicaI administration and honesty of public SER
vice."
Judge Parker's judicial training, as we have
Just intimated, has probably made him peculiarly
sensitive to any departure from strict legal GUS

The trust question Judge Parker handles very
glngerfy. He does not even mention it among the
four leading questions enumerated in the first
of his letter; and here is where the Democratic
candidate is likely to lose many votes. His close
alliance with August Belmont and other repre-
sentatives of the great New York corporations
has not strengthened him with the Bryan ele-
ment. In his letter he repeats his belief that
the common law affords the necessary legal RENE
dies for trust evils, and cites a Supreme Court de-
cision in answer to President Roosevelt's aser-
ton that the common law is not RECOGNIZED by the
Federal Courts.
As to our colonial policy, Judge Parker's policy
is briefly summed up in this one sentence: "I am
in hearty accord with that plank in our platform
that favors doing for the Filipinos what we have
already done for the Cubans; and I favor max
ing the promise to them now"
The one sensation on the letter is Judge Park
ers reply to Mr.. Roosevelt's pension order chal-
lenge. You criticize me for issuing the order
That all veterans over ~siXty-two shall have pen
slons, said Mr.. Roosevelt; will you revoke this
order If the Democrats win? This opportunity
for scoring a point Judge Parker fully improves.
The order was illegal, an unconstitutional as
of power, he says, and if elected he will
revoke it. At the same time he saves himself
from G. A. r. opposition by adding: "But I 90
further and say $1,000. 1 will contribute my eff
fort toward the enactment of a law, to be passed
by both houses of Congress and approved by the
that will give an age pension without
to disability to the surviving heroes of
the civil War as a just due to the peo-
pie through their chosen representative and not
as largess distributed by the Chief Executiye.n
Here indeed is g hit, a palpable hit-one that

The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-10-04

When Judge Parker sent his famous gold stand
ard telegram to the Democratic National Con-
ventlon it looked to many as if the Democracy
had found a bold and dashing leader-a man who
would hit hard, speak bluntly, and personally di-
rect a brilliant onslaught on the Republican
Party. The writer thought at once of what one
of the best-known New York editors said to us in
May-that Judge Parker had rather do a thing
his own way, and do it wrong, than do it the
other fellows way and do it right.
But since the gold standard telegram-which
now seems to have been suggested by the New
York dailies acting in concert-Judge Parker
has played the part, not of the spirited and VEN
leader Nv: .cs+hhef Of the dispassionate
judge, finding after a cold survey Of the facts
that the opposition party is wrong, and asking
the jury to report accordingly. His letter of az
c~eptance is not a bugle call, though it is some
what more spirited than his speech of accept
ance.
How nearly together the two great parties have
now drifted will be seen from the fact that
aside from our local race ~uestion in the South
tariff reform presents the only sharp line of di-
vision between Democrats and Republicans, and
as Judge Parker points out, a Democratic Presi-
dent the next four years can do nothing as to this
so much as a Republican Senate will per-
NIT. The issue of "constitutionalism vs. i'm
perialism" doesn't appeal to the people generally,
though to a man with Judge Parker's fine appre-
citation of legal forms and the strict construction
of the Constitution, it probably assumes greater

son. HE put his confession into the
hands Of the man who had been
wronged."
A general conversation followed in
which Donaldson appeared to far
greater advantage than before. The
telling of the story seemed to have TAX
en- a weight off his mind. Both Hack
EFT and myself were pleased with him,
and we resolved to carry out our orig
inal intention of taking him into our
employ. We did not speak of the mat
ter until after Whiting had left us,
He had said in the beginning that he
could be with us not more than half an
hour. When he had gone, l explained
to Donaldson that we had been con-
sidering him with reference to posi-
ton of Importance in our business, and
l named the duties, the salary and the
prospects.
He was to be Mr.. Hackett's assistant
in our department of sales. We were then
introducing a system of dispOsing of
our goods which was entirely unique in
this country, and we required a young
man of good appearance, of cultivated
mind and manner and especially of
that quick, intuitive perception which
is so valuable in dealing with the high
est grade Of merchants. The right
man, coming to us with the proper en-
ergy and abiity, might hope for any
thing, up to an interest in our business,
that would make him more than we'll
to do. 1t all depended upon himself.
Donaldson received this proposal
with a solemnity which justified his
college nickname of deacon" by
which we had heard DR.. Whiting ad-
dress him.

zone day he was amazed to see Joe

| traced him he never learned. Vinal
was dying. Only his purpose had sup
ported him through the latter part of
the journey. He made a complete rev.
elation of the inner facts of the bank

principal criminal. This statement was
sworn to before the American consul,
and few days later Vinal died. Hen
ry Donaldson went to Hongkong and
thence home, bringing the statement
which was put into to, hands of the
banks officials, who used it to extort
as complete restitution as possible from
Vinars accomplices, and the matter
was kept quiet through the usual in
fuences, except that card was pub

He seemed to be perfectly satisfied
with this. though it was not very def

the respect that is usually accorded to

time. Henry Donaldson was a note

had the misfortune to become involved
in the trouble there about three years
ago. You may remember it"

ly innocent, but circumstances, and
men, too, conspired against him. He
was arrested and almost Immediately
released, but only that he might be
logged by detectives.
HE was abnormally sensitive re-
garding anything that affected his good
name, and he was always easily dis

combination against him was too strong
and that he must eventually be dis
| graced and ruined. He could not bear
the prospect, and so he took a false
step to avoid it. He fed, and nobody
had the least idea where he had gone

that Henry knew where he was, but
the poor fellow had been so bounded

the disgrace that he had kept out Of
everybody's way. My communication
to him about Donald was stolen by the
detectives. He received no word at
all, and, as we discovered long after
ward he was led into the distressing
error of supposing that Donald was
disloyal to him in this trouble. Moth
ing could have been further from the
| truth.
"When Henry did not come to see
him, as we had expected, Donald got
out of bed, though he could hardly
stand upon his feet, and went out to
find his brother. But Henry was far
away by that time, and not even the
detectives themselves were more ig-
norant than we were as to his where
abouts.
"For a week or more the newspapers
located him in fifty different places,
and Donald himself got wind of many
idle rumors. That sort of thing is

what Donald suffered. Finally we
learned that the detectives in the case
had reached the conviction that Henry
had committed suicide by leaping from

made that pitiful ending, and for my
