This will make a curious combination, the author of the Simple Life" and the author of the strenuous Life. ." Yet it was compliment paid the Frenchman's book in a speech while on a political tour through Maine that is undoubtedly the indirect cause of the reverend visitor being on our shores, The President is good adviser; he would make the fortune of any circus as an advance agent. He would make the fortune of the Republican Party C in this campaign If the people believed circus management should be kept in control at Washington.
 When the King of Servia was assas- sinated, the Presidents first remark was, That will help the sale of my friend .Curtis's book" Curtis having just put out a book of travels through istic incident of the quickness without regard to seemllness with which he habitually thinks and acts
 He had read the Frenchman's book. It is a more or less effective plea for a quiet as opposed to a rushing bolster ous existence. Instantly this turbu- lent mind is seized with the idea that the true career is one led in gentle ob scurity. in unnoticed. unheralded deeds of kindness, in brave devotion to the simple duties of life, and presto. he mounts the stump and tells the world he has found a book he wants to place in the hands of every man, wo- man and child in the United States Such is the way of man. that everybody fell to and began to read Wagner, and then comes the demand he should visit this country. Certainly never did a recommendation that had such serious consequences fall from lips with a more comic aspect. The hero of the Impetuous school, the believer in the blr stick in political affairs, of the single stick in private life; the man who Eloats over the prospect of wars. right eous or unrighteous, Is to be the host of an unaffected foreign clergyman whose reputation is founded on anti. poGal teachings, from those with whicf Roosevelt has belabored the world.
 Every Frenchman writes book when he can lay hands upon the mate rials for one, and MT. Wagner will un, doubtedly write one about the United States. Let us hope he will tell can didly and honestly how he found tho at Oyster Bay.

THEY DID WE'LL.

All the people of Alabama should read the report of the Huntsville grand jury, printed in yesterday morning's Advertiser. It is a scorching expose of an affair which disgraced Huntsville, humiiiated Alabama and brought dis credit on the State military. That both the sheriff and Mayor were grave iy negligent and derelict is plainly apparent from the report. It was the plain and solemn duty of the Sheriff to protect the jail and the prisoners to the taking of life, if necessary. It was also plainly the duty of the Mayor to take early and decisive steps to pre- serve order and disperse the mob if 1t lay in his power to do so. It was plain ly and emphatically the duty of the mil. itary to guard the jail. even though that duty required them to shoot down the assailants.
 Except in extraordinary cases, 1t is a reproach on the ofiicials and the peo- pie of any town in Alabama when tha military arm of the government has to be called in to protect prisoners. The Sheriff is clothed by law with ample power to call out the posse and main tain the majesty of the law at all ha- zards. It Is the duty of the Mayor of a town to assist the Sheriff with all the means in his power. If these ofn- cials do their full duty and fail. then the military should be called in. and they should do their duty as soldiers. for the time being relegating to the rear their sympathies as citizens.
 We know that 1t Is disagreeable and distasteful duty to shoot down citi- zens. even when they are violating the law. but 1t is infinitely worse to have the laws under which we live trampled under foot. a jail burned and the lives of prisoners seriously jeopardized. That Is not only an assault on the law. but 1t is destructive of government and a serious disgrace on the community. It is not merely Huntsville that is hu- initiated and discredited. but the entire State and people of Alabama.
 To Acting Governor Cunningham, to Circuit Judge Paul Speake, to Solicitor Erie Pettus and to the Grand Jury of Madison County, the people of Alabama owe debt of gratitude for the prompt. efficient and fearless manner with which they have discharged their duty in the grave crisis which confronted them. They have done their part in the reliminary work of removing from Alabama the stigma of lawlessness and murder. It remains now for another jury to be equally fearless and con- scientious, and thus prove to the world that We are a people who will main- tain, enforce and abide by the law and no longer suffer 1t trampled under foot by mob violence. to the shame and humiliation of all the people.

 am manufacturer of wire. wire ropes and netting. and I wish to con- me my remarks to these branches. I may give one instance of the methods or foreign competitors. The United states sells In Canada upwards of 3o,0OO tons of barbed wire per annum. which they distribute through the medium of the Canadian Hardware Association At the commencement of each season the ,nited States Steel Corporation en- ters into an agreement with the Can adlan Hardware managers of d consid- erable number of representative works actual wage rates, which showed that at blast furnaces, hour for hour there was then but little difference In the rates paid as between Great Britain ana America, while some of the Amer ican furnaces produced $500 to 4.oOO tons per week, compared with $50 to 626 tons in England, with nearly the same number of hands. For unskilled labor the British rate Is materially lower than the American.
 I do not hesitate to say that if tba canadian had been charged the same prices as were nominalfy charged on tba other side of the line. hardly any Amer ican iron and steel would have found It's way into Canada during the last nvc years in competition with tba cheaper prices quoted for British mo terial." ma

Some Filthy Extracts From the
 Democratic Campaign Book

Advance sheets of the Democratic campaign book have been issued from national headquarters in New York. These sheets deal entirely with the tariff and trusts. Some extracts from the compilation are as follows:
 During the year ending June 30, 1904, the sale of American manufactured pro- ducts to foreigners amounted to S452.- o00, 900, of which fully s5 per cent. ac- cording to the estimates of well-inform- ed exporters were sold at cheaper prices than are charged for precisely the same goods when sold to Americans. The average price of these goods In the for eign market Is 20 per cent. less than the selling price in the home market .. On some goods, such as paints and var nishes. the difference between the price to foreigners and to Americans Is only 5 per cent. but on agricultural imple- ments. tools. machines and hardware | the e>difference in the price to the for
 eisner and to the American varies from
 10 to 50 per cent. On wire. cartridges, playing cards. etc. the difference Is more than 100 per cent. and on such articles as wire rope and borax the difference exceeds 200 per cent Were there nothing else to condemn the Re publican policy of high tariff taxes. this one fact ought to be sufficient to cause the American people to repudiate It.
 for surely nothing can be more unjust than for the American Government to tax Its own people to the end that American steel rails. blows, shoes and other articles of prime necessity may
 be sold cheaper to the people of Japan
 Europe, and foreign countries gener- ally. than they are sold at home to Americans. It Is absurd to speak of infant industries" like the Steel Trust
 which Is able to compete with the so- called pauper labor of foreign coun-
 tries and which makes enough profit on its export sales, even at prices far below its domestic prices, to enable it to pay dividends upon millions of dol
 lars of watered capital. During the first thirtythree months of it's exist ence the Steel Trust has made net profits of $327,000.000. an average of
 $11s,0o0.oOO a year, or slo,O0O, 900 a
 month. s3oo,00o a day and s30,o0o an
 hour for a day of ten hours. But for the unjust tariff on steel products. there would have been no temptation to manufacturers and trust promoters to organize this gigantic monopoly
 with it's thousand million dollars of watered stock. When the voters of
 America. the farmers. mechanics. clerks and professional men. realize the ex-
 tent of the difference between export and home prices they will speedily
 withdraw protection" from such "in- fants' as the steel and other giant
 trusts of this country. As long ago as
 1890 the attention of the American peo- pie was called to this injustice of the
 Republican tariff policy which permits
 trusts to sell goods cheaper to foreign CTS than to Americans In a pamphlet
 entitled "Protections Home Market, " published in 1890 by the Reform Club.
 we find quoted the domestic and ex- port prices of a number of American goods. The domestic prices usually ex- ceed the foreign prices by 10 to 25 per cent. and In some cases by 100 per cent.
