for long time past upon what they
were pleased to call free trade" They
drew out the ancient and departed
fraud believing that there might be- as
was said of the bloody shirt long ago,
another president in it." They told
everybody that the Democratic party
was absolutely committed to free trade.
They have been quoting from John
Sharp Williams and Bourke Cochran
and lot of other leaders to that effect,
and seriously advising the American
people that as far as the tariff was
concerned this election would involve
simply and solely choice between the
Republican policy of standpat ana the
alleged Democratic policy of absolute
and unequivocal free trade.
They are not the least embarrassed by
the necessity which the st. Louis plat
form imposes upon them of whrling in
stantly to the right about. These very
same organs are now telling us daily
that there can be no Democratic tariff
reform at all because the influences be-
hind Judge Parker will not permit it,
Tariff revision, they say, would meet
the same fate that it did under Cleve-
land, and the people might Just us well
adjust their CALLED shoulders to the yoke
they now bear, because Democratic
success could not remove it or make it
rest more easily
We rather like this form of argument.
1t shows an enemy with IN uneasy con-
science. 1t demonstrates the nature aud
the terrible anxiety of Republicans on
the tariff issue. They know well that
the people will not stand for the in
famous robbery TO which they are now
subjected in behalf of the monopolies
and trusts. They know that the people
are turning to the Democratic party as
their only hope of relief under such
oppression. They know that the Demo
cratic party was never in such good
shape as it is today to accomplish u
practical and satisfactory reduction of
the tariff. They know that on this
subject the old extremes of opinion in
Democracy has disappeared, just as they
are vanishing with regard to the Curreu

Yet one may be as simple as the other.
AS every one knows or should know,
the action of A telephone in reprodu-
cling the sounds of the human voice is
due to the impact of the sound waves
upon the delicate disk of the mouth
piece of the instrument. the transmits
sion Of these infinitesmal vibrations by
the electric current along the route
of the transmitting wire to the second
disk of the receiver from which the
identical sounds introduced are given
out. Or, stated differently. certain
sounds are produced by certain definite
and Interchangeable wave disturbances
either in the atmospheric ether, as IS
claimed by some, or in some other in
definable transmitting medium. These
waves, beating against the surface or
the transmitting disk Of the telephone,
produce exactly similar disturbances
of the second disk. which in turn sets
I'D the same disturbance of the atmos-
pheric medium and reproduces the
sound transmitted.
Similar lines of argument are fol-
lowed by those who would attempt to
solve the riddle of Mr.. Fowler's inven-
ton Color is produced by an infinite
succession and variety of light waves.
The representation of the human face,
or Of any object, is but combination
of different colors, and, therefore, OF
many and different waves of light
Therefore, if it is possible to transmit
the tones of the voice along the wire
because it is possible to find a disk
delicate enough to record the disturb
ances in the medium, why is 1t not
pOssible to discover a disk susceptible
to tn light waves that go to form and
make up the lines of the human face
or of some inanimate object?
The method is simple in theory, so
say the wise ones, but the application
of the principle is where the task be-
comes difficult Mr.. Fowler has solved
the riddle. but whether by disk or lens,
or by what not, he will not say. Time
will settle the question, and will tell
thS answer,
There is one thing. however, that thu
inventor will say and that is that his
any manner dependent upon the tele-
phone 1t is Il separate and distinct
instrument but seems to be a natural
complement to the Older instrument
1t is natural in conversation to see
the person to whom you are address,
ing your remarks, and why should not
it be the same when talking over the
phone?
Mr. Fowler will follow up his simple
phone attachment by which the Ope-
rator will be able to see the person
with whom he is talking, and will com
plete it and bring it into use, for this
he considers to be the thing Of great
est moment at this time. After that
phase of his invention has been per-
fected, he will take up all of the other
branches which spring from the first
achievement. The attachement by
which large scenes can be reproduced,
as the theater a prizefight, or similar
sights, will be followed up and COM
to all to be a thing Of staple worth.
