east in these quadriennial contests.
The vote of minor parties in 1896
and 1909 was unusually small because
in those two years the Populist vote
was merged in that of the Democrats
in support of Bryan. In 1900 one
branch of the Populists, under the
title of Peoples party, refused to fuse
and supported sWhartonl Barker for
president, who received 80, 109 votes.
This year, however, the two wings OF
the Populist party will likely wor k
together, having united in a call for
Populist convention in July. This
is on the assumption that the Demo
Gratis will cut loose from Organism
and nominate some "reorganizer'
like Parker or German.
Speaking OF minor political parties
the New York Tribune says:
The Prohibition party has appar-
emily exhausted its capacity. for
growth 1t is losing rather than
gaining ground. In 1892 Bidwell, as
a Presidential candidate, got 27O,367
votes. In 1900 Wooley got 2O9, O62.
There is no prospect of a turn this
year in this weakened and stagnant
party s.fortunes The Socialists par
ty, known in 1900 as the Social Dem
ocratic party, has shown in recent
years soneisigns of vitality. Its vote
in 1900 was 30, 142. 1t breaches gov
ornamental socialism and labor union
ism; and should the present tendancy
in the Democratic party toward So
cialistic policies be checked by the
nomination this year of a conserve
tive like Judge Parker, of the Social
list party, like the Populist, failing a
bolt from the convention and the
nomination of radical Democratic
ticket, would profit appreciably by
Democratic disaffection. The Social
ist Labor party is a somewhat mys-
FERROUS organization, with a smaller
following than anyOf its rivals among
the minor parties. 1t polled 1875
votes in 1900, over third of that total
being cast here in New York. in the
main, the American people care little
for third parties. They believe in
the bipartisan system, and avail
themselves of the smaller organiza-
tions only when the two great parties
fail them and they are driven to reg
lister some sudden and violent pro-
test. There is little prospect this
year of any popular upheavel such as
gave General Weaver more than L.
600, 600 votes in 1899. Only serio us
Democratic schism can justify reful-
gent dreams on the part of minor
party managers

Letter to Clark DeherrY.

Dear Sir: We manage to get some
fun out of paint. j. H. Kohlmeyer,
Grove City, Pa, putin Deyoe. Along
came a salesman of somebody else's
paint before ours had got there.
Salesman said ours was short-meas-
ure. Kohlmeyer weakened hung fire
and topped; stopped ours and took
his.
1t was our turn now. We emptied
our can into his and his into ours.
The short-measure was his, not
ours; and we kept our man.
And ever since then, that paint
manufacturer gives full-measure; his
paint is not pure, but his gallon con.
tains four quarts.
Go by the name; and the name to 90
by is Devoe lead and-zinc.
Yours truly

FIRE DESTROYS LUMBER MILL.
Was the Property of Judge Elias Mer-
riI and Sons at Merrill

riIl and Sons at Merrill
Fire ON Saturday morning at 2
O'Clock, which, presume bly,, caught
in some saw-dust and smouldered
from about six o'clock the evening
before, destroyed the saw, shingle
and chop mill at Merrill, belonging to
ex-Judge Elias Merrill and sons, en-
failing loss of one Thousand dollars
with no insurance.
Besides burning the mill and ma
chinery about twenty thousand shin
giles and two thousand feet of manu-
featured lumber was destroyed. A
stack of $4,000 shingles was saved by
removing them after the fire had
been discovered.
Judge Merrill thinks that the en-
CINE and boiler of the mill can be re-
paired at slight expense which will
materially lessen the loss above
given.
The mill will be rebuilt as soon
as possible and the business resum-
ed.

TRUSTS and the tariff will be impor-
tant issues in the coming campaign.
1t is important that the position of
the two great parties in reference to
these questions should be well Under
stood by the voters.
The attitude Of the Republican
party toward the trusts is that while
great organizations of industry are
the natural outcome of our present
industrial system, their interests are
second to the interests of the nation;
they are amenable to the law, and
like the humblest private individual,
they must be made toNobey the law.
The only antitrust laws now on the
statute books were enacted by a
Republican Congress, and were en-
forced only by a Republican admin
istration. The Democratic attitude
on the trust question is an unknown
quantity, lying somewhere between
the Hearst trust-busters and the
Cleveland trust boosters. If the
Democrats we're in power next fall
they would probably never come to
an agreement as to what was to be
done with the trusts, and if they did
agree they thew could not do any
thing, as the Senate will remain Re
publican no matter how the fall cleo
ton may run.
The Republican position on the
tariff will be summed up in their plat
form about as follows: Protection,
which guards and deyelopes Ameri-
can industries, is cardinal princi-
pie of the Republican party. The
Republicans recognize that particu-
lar tariff schedules are neither sacred
nor immutable, and may be changed
when altered conditions demand
their revision. Such revision sho uld
be undertaken only when it is clear
that the benefit will more than com
pensate for the disturbance of bust
ness which inevitably attends revis-
ion of tie tariff schedules. The Dem
ocrats', position on the tariff is a mat
ter of guesswork. Just before Con-
gress adjourned, w. Bourke Cochran,
their star orator, made a violent free
trade speech. A few days later Rep
resentative Williams, their leader in
the House of Representatives, declar-
ed that free trade was impossible.
However, the Democrats believe
either in free trade, tariff, revision,
reciprocity, or projections; here also
there are democratic busters and
boosters. If they were to come into
power next fall, the Republican SEN
ate would prevent them from chang
ing the tariff, but their reckless and
painless attacks upon it would prob
ably bring about once again the dis
aster and panic of 1893.
Looking at the situation carefully,
it is seen that there is sound sense in
the Republican ADVICE: Let well
enough alone; stand pat; take no
chances.
