from time to time be necessary. but
1t is so phrased that 1t is expected to
be satisfactory to those in favor of
an increase of duty. to those who
favor a reduction thereof and to those
opposed to any change whatever.
Judged by the record of perform
ance, rather than that of promise. on
tho part of that party in the past. 1t
would seem as II the outcome. in the
event OF its success, would be to graf
ify the latter class. With absolute
control OF both the legislative and ex-
ecntive departments of the govern
ment since March 4. 1897. there has
been neither reduction nor an attempt
at reduction in tariff duties. 1t is not
unreasonable to assume. In the light
of that record, that a future Congress
of that party will not undertake re-
vision of the tariff downward in the
event that 1t shall receive an indorse-
ment of its past course on that sub
ject by the people. 1t is a fact and
should be frankly conceded that
though our party be successful in the
coming contest we cannot hope to Sc
cure a majority in the Senate during
the next four years, and hence we
shall be unable to secure any modifi-
cation in the tariff save that to which
the Republican majority in the Senate
may consent. While. therefore, we
are unable to give assurances OF re-
lief to the people from such excessive
duties as burden them. 1t is due to
them that we state our position to
be in favor OF a reasonable reduction
of the tariff we believe that it is de-
manded by the best interests of both
manufacturer and consumer. and that
wise and beneficent revision of the
tariff can be accomplished as soon as
both branches of Congress and an ex-
ecutive in favor of 1t are elected with
out creating that sense of uncertainty
and instability that has on other occa-
sions manifested itself. This can be
achieved by providing that such rea-
sonable period shall intervene be-
tween the date of the enactment of
the statute making a revision and the
date of its enforcement as shall be
deemed sufficient for the industry or
business affected by such revision to
adjust itself to the changes and new
conditions imposed. So confident am

people for reform of the tariff is

Hancock once lived in the house
where was born. and Samuel Adams
was there many. many times. I'm as
much of a Hancock as Edith, though
she won't admit 1t. Don't you like
Boston better than San Francisco,
Mr.. Blake?'
Really, remember very little OF

a small boy we moved to Quincy, and
from there to a farm near bingham.
That part OF my New England life
most vivid in my memory clusters
round the old farm in Rocky Woods

The dark eyes opened wide and Jes-
sic looked wonderingly into Blake's
face.
"Why. yes. l lived there for several
years. Do you mean to tell me that
yon ever heard of that desolate patch
OF rocks. pines. stone fences. buckle

marshes?"
Certainly have. Uncle Tom

ton, and spends the summers there

it strange. Mr.. Blake, that both of us
are familiar with that out-of-the-way
country? Where was your fathers
farm?"
1T was then known as the old Leon
ard farm. Do you know where Peter
Burt lived-Peter Burt, the old crazy
man who used to pray at night from
the top OF the big rock?"
"Yes," said Jessie softly, with lit
tie catch at her breath as the blood
mounted to her cheeks.
James Blake watched her face in
tently. Both were thinking of John
Burt, but with what different emo
tons. Since the sun had set. a gulf
had opened between John Burt and
James Blake.
And Jessie Garden? Intuitively she
felt that James Blake knew John
Burt. In a fash it occurred to her
that Blake's business with her father
was a subterfuge. Was he the bear
er of tidings from John Burt? Per
haps John was dead? II alive. why
did he not come himself?
And you knew John Burt, l re-
member now that he often spoke of
you He always called you Jim and
rarely mentioned your last name. And
you ran away from home. Did you
ever meet John Burt in California,
Mr.. Blake?"
James Blake was not deceived by
the careless tone in which she asked
this question. With grim joy he re-
fiected that Johns injunction for Sc
crecy was still in force. He must
either misiead Jessie Garden or prove
false to his friend; but for the first

grief lie refused to attach his sigma

1894, but he lacked the nerve to veto
It. He simply held his nose during
the interval necessary to enable the
bill to become a law without his con-
currence. Judge Parker is not an
other Cleveland. He will not attempt
to boss or to fight his party, as Cleve-
LAND did. He is not built that way.
he will be with his party in all things.
The st. Louis platform. which would
strike down protection, would cripple
tire navy. would decimate the army.
would cut adrift seven millions OF
Fllipinos totally incapable of self
