The Human Junk Shop.

Instances continue necessarily TO multi
ply in this correspondence Of how badly
they need the money over here. Instance
about the 2,O0Oth Is that of 1.-THE Human
Junk Shop" man named John Easel,
who was operated on at a Brooklyn hos
pital the other day. John, the human junk
shop has been operated on so many times
for his peculiar Observation-Disclosures COM
plant that 1t looks as II he isn't going to
get through with his life this time.
The human junk shop, who has been ex-
hfbiting himself at museums as freak
for a number of years. makes speciality
of swallowing almost any old thing that
is not quite the size OF torpedo boat. He
swallows the things right in the presence
OF the audience, too. 1t has been thought
by skeptical patrons OF freak museums
that the human junk shop was fraud and
that he didn't really absorb into his system
the things that he pretended to gulp down,
but that this view was both erroneous and
unkind is clearly shown by the list of ar
ticles which the doctors removed from his
frame when they performed their last ope-
ration on him the other day. The articles
were as follows:
Six knives of assorted sizes. one watch
chain, one key ring chain. one hall door
key, one desk key. four Yale lock keys, one
button hook, fourteen wire nails, two iron
nails, four horseshoe nails, and two pins.
For once, the hospital doctors properly
diagnosed the case of the human junk shop
when he presented himself to them, with
holding, however, his identity and the ma
ture of his engaging. not to say absorbing.
ayocation.
They looked him over and tapped him and
felt of his pulse and looked at his tongue
and then they told him that they thought
1t likely that he had too much iron in his
system, and that they'd have to give him
treatment looking to the elimination of
the over-sufhciency of ironl
1t was, they say, delightful to witness the
doctors expressions of happiness over the
splendid vindfcation of their diagnosis when
the human junk shop informed them Of
how it really stood with him.

ANOTHER HUMBUG PUNC
TURED
Speaker Cannon and His Free Silver Re.
cord by the Side Of His Stump Talk

The lovable "Uncle Joe" Cannon was
also unworthy of himself when he rang
the changes, as he did for an hour
or more, over the claim that the Demo
cratic party had gone wrong on the
Silver Question and therefore ought to
be voted down.
If this were true it would prove that
Mr.. Cannon himself ought to be retired
TO private life-which would be a seri-
Gus loss TO our public serviee-because
few men in any party have been so
much and so thoroughly wrong on the
silver question as he has. He was one
OF BANDS original allies in the cause
of free silver, voted in Congress for the
Bland Bill, voted 20 pass it over Hayes
veto, and in 1893, voted and fought
against the repeal of the silver pur-
chase law.
Better play fair, even on the stump,
Uncle Joe. The truth is, both parties
have been wrong on the silver question.
II the free silver idea was wrong. The
Republican platform of 1883, drafted
by Mckinley, denounced Grover Cleve-
land for his opposition TO free silver,
and that issue, which was worked to
hhc uAihoob III the west, erected f1aTTl-
son. Every line of law enacted in favor
OF silver for 30 years was of Republican
wrlung.
As long as the question has been
settled by the discovery Of new gold
fields Unexpectedly increasing gold pro
duction more than four-fold, il is time
for both parties, in view of the record
Of both, to drop it.

ONLY
Significance of Little Word In the
Republican Platform.

From the Philadelphia Press (RepD j
The plank of the Republican Ma
tional platform concerning protec-
ton contains this piece of timber:
We insist upon the maintenance, Of
the principles of protection, and,
therefore, rates of duty should be adj
justed ONLY when conditions have
so changed that the public interest
demands their alteration.
In the original draft of the plat
form as submitted TO the committee
on resolutions the word "only" did
not appear. That word was inserted
by the committee. 1t gives a special
color TO the declaration. 1t carries
an Implication of its own. 1t puts a
limit. Without the word tonly'' the
declaration would be interpreted as
rather favoring revision of the tar
iff With the word it will be inter
preted as rather resisting it until it
is forced. 1t is only a difference of
shading, but the difference seems on
casual consideration to be quite dis
tinct
But turn it another way. Put the
proposition interrogatively. Ought
rates of duty to be readjusted" ex-
cept when conditions have so
changed that the public interest de-
mands their alteration" Ought they
to be readjusted when the public in
| terest does not demand their alter
alton? Plainly not. Clearly, then
they ought to be sreadjusted "only
when conditions have so changed
that the public interest demands
their alteration. Approached in this
way the proposition justifes itself.
This gives it another color and goes
far to remove the doubt or the ques-
ton which casual reading might
suggest.
There is another and broader con-
sideration. 1t is for the convention
to declare principles. 1t is for the
practical machinery of the govern
mentor the administration and
Congress-to determine the time and
method of their application. The
convention declared that protection
which guards and develops our in
dustries is a cardinal policy of the
Republican party" 1t declared fur
Their, that the maintenance of protec-
ton is SO vital that " rates of duty
should be readjusted only when con-
ditions have so changed that the
public interest demands their alter
atom This defines and determines
the conditions under which readjust-
ment should be made. But when
those conditions exist is a matter for
Congress to decide. Protection is the
foundation and must be absolute. Re-
vision of rates depends upon condi-
tons which it is for Congress to con-
slider and determine.
