sights put on Tom Taggart, too
much German, too much juggling
with the old English language, too
much foxiness generally-but when
Jones of Arkansas trotted up we
could almost see the same old pick
and spade and shovel with which he
dug the graves for the democratic
national campaigns of 1896 and 1900.
IF Our campaign hurts the demo-
Gratis most this year, that is not our
fault. 1t is the fault of Jones and
all the others who sold out the prin-
ciples of democracy to Wall street
and St. Louis. Had Jones and his
crowd readopted the Omaha plat
form, or something similar, and then
nominated some such real democrat
as Hearst or Bryan, the peoples par
ty could not have done business in
1904 at all. 1t was the astounding
betrayal of democratic principles by
Jones, Hill & Co., which gave the
peoples party the opportunity to re-
new the fight for Jefersonian democ-
racy. Inasmuch as We are now ad-
vocating the same principles which
Bryan democrats advocated for eight
years. it seems a little hard that we
should be abused as assistant repub-

leans If anybody had sold out it
would be reasonable to suppose that
it was the crowd who dropped their
principles. We have not dropped
ours.
''The worlds right and wrong seem
to have no place in the political phil
osophy of Alton B. He sloshes back
and forth upon the waves of partisan
manipulation, just like any other ap-
pie. He may think that he swims;
the facts prove that he merely floats.
':Why delude yourselves by hoping
to get reforms inside the democratic
party? The Bryans,. Tillmans and
Baileys have more power III the demo-
cratic party than ever before. East
ern democracy controls and the east
ern democrat is republican in all
but the name. The national domo-
cratic party can do nothing for the
people. It is ruled by cor&1ations.
And it has no common purpose, no
unity. no cohesion. If you are a
true democrat and have the courage
of your convictions you must come
with us. You have nowhere else
to go.
'In my opinion, Parker is going to
be one of the worst beaten men in
political history, for the reason that
he stands for nothing. He does not
even pretend to have any principles.
That such a man can be elected is an
impossibility:"

REFLECTS SHIFTING TRADE.
Iron Industry in Satisfactory Condition
Production Progressing.

NEW YORK. September 29-The appar-
er ~ conflicting reports which reach the
public with reference to the condition of
the iron trade are at variance when the
situation is mere carefully studied, says
the Iron Age. 1t is hardly necessary to
reIeat that the pig iron industry with its
open market reflects more closely the shift
ing currents of the demand. 1t is here that
activity has been sustained fairly well late
ly, quite number of large buyers entering
the markets. Correspondents at different
points report quite an aggregate of orders,
and note further inquiries.
In the Pittsburg district about 1900 tons
of Bessemer and malleable Bessemer have
been placed, and two large consumers OF
foundry iron have covered round lots.
In Chicago several blocks of 800 tons
each have been taken by meters and
cor siderable tonnage. in the aggregate, has
been sold in smaller amounts. New
England steel plant has just contracted for
a lot of 1900 tons of pig iron and has
taken some basic pig for prompt delivery.
In eastern Pennsylvania several lots OF
1900 tons and upward Of foundry iron have
been disposed of, and there have been some
sales CT basic pig at lower prices than
those which have prevailed for some time
past The position of the southern furnaces
has not undergone material change lately
Pig iron production is progressing at an
increased rate, but the very large interests
express belief that the maximum will be
reached early in November. and that then
some blowing out may become necessary
Two currents of belief tinge the views on
finished products Many see good deal OF
announcement in the greater freedom with
which specifications On old orders are com
ing in and attach little Importance to the
fact that on the whole, new business IS
slow
Others state that they did not expect any
stimulation of the demand from the recent
reductions in prices. and do not look Tor
the development of a buying movement un.
tn February or March. The course OF
events in the interval must determine
whether that buying movement Will start
at the present or whether the widespread
views in the trade that somewhat lower
range of prices must first be reached are
sound.
In steel rails, prices for which are ad-
mittedly out of joint with the rest OF the
market. no action is likely until December:
No meeting has been called as yet Tor next
month. nor will there be, according 10 hish

The case of William r. Hearst against

October II. in Chicago. for further hearing
by the Interstate commerce commission.
Chicago was selected for the reason that
special line OF testimony is to be brought

fected in the east 1t is understood that
few railroad men will be subpoenaed, date
still farther in the future being in con-
temptation and city in the east the place
where testimony of that special character
can be adduced.
As the case now stands the contracts of
coal roads with shippers may be called for
by the commission. the Supreme Court hav-
ing ruled that these contracts could be
called for and would have to be produced
upon demand of the commission. The first
case of the commission against the roads,
at the instance and on complaint of Will
liam r. Hearst was won by the roads in
the United States circuit court, but the
Supreme Court reversed the decision and
ruled that the contracts would have to be
shown If demanded.
