Burden was a young negro from vir-
ginia. going TO the resort to sing
coon" songs and do" cakewalks for
the entertainment of the populace.
The baggage handlers at the depot got
Mr.. Burdens trunk and the young ne.
gro's trunk transposed, the latter
beng delivered at Mr.. VanderbiIts
mansion and the former going to the
negro's boarding house. The error was
not discovered until Mr.. Burden wenr
to dress for dinner, when he found IN
the trunk that had been sent TO him
most surprising assortment Of rel
neckties, fiashy waistcoats and check
ed trousers. That was the comedy al
the situation. The tragedy consisted in
the fact that Mr.. Burden had 10 dine

Texas Fitted for Rice GROWING

Baron Masanao Masudaira, a Japa.
lese nobleman, has been travelling in
Texas, which he declares to be a
great country for rice. He regards
Texas as almost equal to his native
country and feels sure that rice can
be raised there with good profit. The
baron is Of opinion that in reason
ably short time many Japanese of
wealth and standing will become resi-
dents Of the Lone Star state. He Is
anxious that his countrymen shall
share in the general prosperity which
prevails in this country, and thinks
they cannot do better, for climatic
and other reasons, than to settle in
Texas.

plicitly commit themselves to the
proposition that If they were to re.
wise the tariff no heed would be paid
to the necessity of meeting this diff.
ference between the standards Of liv.
ing for wage workers here and in
other countries; and therefore on this
point their antagonism to our position
is fundamental.
Here again we ask that their
promises and ours be Judged by what
has been done in the immediate past.
We ask that sober and sensible men
compare the workings of the present
tariff law, and the conditions which
obtain under it, with the workings of
the preceding tariff law Of 1894 and
the conditions which that tariff Of
1894 helped to bring about"
The fundamental difference in the
attitudes Of the two parties on the
subject of protection is herein stated
with great force. The Republican par.
ty stands committed to the doctrine
that only through the operation Of the
protective policy Is 1t possible to
maintain the American standard Of
living, while the Democratic party,
caring nothing for the American
standard of living, but intent, now as
always, upon cheapening and degrad-
ing American labor, brazenly antago.

THE ISSUE DEFINED
SPEECHES OF PRESIDENT RoosE.
WELT AND SPEAKER CANNON.
Alike In the Address Of Notification
and In the Response Thereto, the
PredomInance Of the Tariff Cues.
ton Is Distinctly Recognized.

The two speeches delivered at Oys.
ter Bay on the 9th Of July, 1904, first
by Speaker Cannon as chairman Of
the committee appointed by the Re-
publican national convention to notify
Theodore Roosevelt of his nomination
for President Of the United States;
and, second, the speech Of President
Roosevelt, giving notice Of his accept
ance Of that nomination-have set
tied the question as to what Is the
dominant issue in this years cam
paign. If any doubt remained con.
corning the chief issue, almost the
only issue, which divides the two
great parties in the civic battle Of
1904, such doubt has been completely
removed. The tariff is the issue. 1t
has been made the issue by the plain
words alike Of the authorized spokes-
man Of the Republican party and Of
the candidate chosen by the unani-
nous action Of the Republican party.
In his address of notification Speak.
er Cannon devoted his attention to
the tariff more largely than to all
other subjects combined. After dwell
ing briefly upon the splendid history
Of the Republican party in its rela-
ton to the shaping Of events and pol.
icies, Mr.. Cannon said;
Under the lead Of the Republican
party for over forty years the United
States, from being a third-class pow.
er among the nations has become in
every respect first. The people rule.
The people ruling, 1t Is necessary that
they should be competent to rule.
Competency requires not only patriot
ism, but material well-belng, educa-
ton and statecraft.
1.-THE people, under the lead Of the
Republican party, wrote upon the stat
ute books revenue laws, levying taxes
upon the products of foreign countries
seeking our markets, which replen-
ished our treasury, but were so ad.
justed as to encourage our people in
developing, diversifying and maintain
ing our industries. at the same time
protecting our citizens laboring in pro.
duction against the competition of for.
eign labor, Under this policy our man.
ufactured product to-day is one-third
of the product Of the civilized world,

STILL CHASING HIMSELF.

and our people receive almost double
the pay for their labor that similar
labor receives elsewhere in the world,
thereby enabling us to bear the bur.
den Of citizenship.
Liberal compensation for labor
makes liberal customers for our prod.
ucts. Under this policy Of protection
our home markets afford all our peo-
| pie a better market than has any
other people on earth, and this, too,
even If we did not sell any of our
| products broad. In addition to this,
we have come to be the greatest ex'
porting nation in the world. For the
year ending the 30th Of June, 1904,
our exports to foreign countries were
valued at $1,4OO,OOO,OOO, Of which
$45O,0OO,OOO were products Of the fac.
tory. The world fell in our debt last
year $47O,OOO,OOO, an increase Of $75,.
100000 over the preceding year.
This policy Of protection has al.
ways been opposed by the opponents
Of the Republican party, and is op'
posed by them to-day. In their last
national platform, adopted at st,
Louis, they denounce protection as
robbery. They never have been given
power, but they proceeded by word
and act to destroy the policy Of pro
lection. Their platform is as silent as
the grave touching the gold standard
and our currency system. Their chos'
en- leader, after his nomination, hay
ing been as silent as the sphinx to
that time, sent his telegram saying.in
substance that the gold standard is
established, and that he will govern
himself accordingly If he should be
elected"
Later on in his speech Mr.. Cannon
returned to the subject uppermost Ii
his mind, as follows:
Correct revenue laws, protection
or free trade, the gold standard ant
our currency system, all depend upor
the sentiment Of the majority Of oul
people as voiced at the ballot box
A majority may change our revenue
laws, a majority may change our cur
rency laws; a majority may de
stroy the gold standard and establish
the silver standard, or, in lieu Of eli
ther or both. make the treasury note
non-interest bearing and irredeem
able, the sole standard Of value.
