campaign which swept two old estab-

profits were estimated at millions.
Since then we have heard of nothing
but the doings of James Blake. Here

den. picking up paper, which gives
an account of conference between
this upstart and the Secretary of the
Treasury of the United States. They
say Blake is only twenty-seven years
old. Jessie, my dear, 1t is great
thing to be born fortunate. You were
not wise. darling. in your selection of
a father" General Garden smiled
sadly.

the world!" exclaimed Jessie, placing
her hand in his. But I'm not going to

He pulled nervously at his beard, and
the military moustache bristled ag-
gressively.
Answer me, papa! l have a right
to know this"
There was flash in the tender
eyes and a warning curve in the pret-
ty lips. The crimson left her cheek
and she looked frankly into her
fathers face. There is in innocence
the bravery of truth and the calm
modesty of virtue. General Garden
was disarmed.
Nothing has been heard from Mr..
Burt so far as l can learn, JESSIE" he
said. Possibly his grandfather may
have news. | am reasonably sure Mr..

Jessie opened and read a note from
Arthur Morris. 1t congratulated her
on a safe return from abroad. and
closed by asking permission to call
on the first evening which would suit
her convenience. The letter lay idly
in her hand, and her thoughts were
far away when the general uttered
an exclamation.

THE ISSUE DEFINED
SPEECHES OF PRESIDENT RoosE-
WELT AND SPEAKER CANNON.
Alike In the Address of Notification
and in the Response Thereto, the
Predominanee Of the Tariff Ques-
ticn Is Distinctly Recognized.

The two speeches delivered at Oys-
ter Bay on the 9th of July, 1904, first
by Speaker Cannon as chairman OF
the committee appointed by the Re-
publican national convention to notify
Theodore Roosevelt of his nomination
for President of the United States;
and, second, the speech of President
Roosevelt, giving notice of his accept
ance of that nomination-have set
tied the question as to what is the
dominant issue in this years cam
paign. II any doubt remained con-
cerning the chief issue, almost the
only issue, which divides the two
great parties in the civic battle of
1904, such doubt has been completely
removed. The tariff is the issue. 1t
has been made the issue by the plain
words alike of the authorized spokes-
man OF the Republican party and OF
the candidate chosen by the unani-
nous action of the Republican party.
In his address of notification Speak
er Cannon devoted his attention to
the tariff more largely than to all
other subjects combined. After dwell
ing briefly upon the splendid history
tion to the shaping of events and pol
icies. Mr.. Cannon said:

party for over forty years the United
States. from being third-class pow
er among the nations has become in
every respect first. The people rule.

That evening Arthur Morris called
on Jessie. OF her favorable answer
to his suit he had not the slightest
doubt. He had carefully rehearsed
his avowal. After critically reviewing
his campaign since quitting Paris he
decided that he had made no mis-
takes.
He made his declaration confidently,
but with more of feeling than Jessie
thought him capable. "Mr. Morris, :"
she said with an earnestness which
almost tricked herself, II owe a duty
to my father which l cannot forego.
He is alone and in trouble. and l
cannot leave him. You know little of
the pride of the Gardens If you imag-
inc that the daughter of General Mar
shall Garden will give her hand in
marriage SO long as the shadow of
bankruptcy hangs over his name"
Morris again assured Jessie of his
absolute confidence in General Car
den's financial future, and attempted
to secure some conditional promise
from her.
II am willing TO wait, don't you
know" he said. I'm sure General
Garden will come out all right. Go
abroad if you like. but promise to
marry me when you return" He
gazed longingly at her.

within the next two years. VIII that
satisfy you?"
Morris left Jessies presence wild
with delight over his fancied success
A few days later General Garden ar
rived from Boston. and held several
conferences with Arthur Morris. One
night he greeted Jessie with unusual
tenderness. The old proud light was
in his eyes. His shoulders were
thrown back and his step was elastic
81 am no longer 4 bankrupt, Jessie,

alone. 81 have SO disposed of my Sc

my pet. And Mr.. Morris has given
me a position in his bank, with a
chance to work into partnership"
"Oh, that's splendid" exclaimed
Jessie. Are you sure you will not
be disappointed? Is it all arranged
beyond any doubt?"
Here is the check" said General
Garden. with some surprise. Why
do you ask, Jessie?"

Transformation Of a Shabby Ma

Transformation Of Shabby Man.
A certain New York man whose
bank account is so fat that it takes
six figures to measure It, used to go
around looking reprehensibly shabby.
Recently there has been a change in
his appearance. Nowadays his at
tire is really natty and he shaves at
least three times a week.
One day the shabby looking man
went into J. Pierpont Morgan's office
on business connected with charity.
He asked to see Mr.. Clarke, who
looks after some of the charity af-
fairs in which Mr.. Margan is inter
ested.
Mr.. Clarke is not in now" said one
of the clerks. IF you will come to-
morrow you may be able to catch him
and possibly he will help you little"
The shabby-looking man thought
that closing sentence sounded rather
queer.
Thank you" he said, sarcastically.
You are very kind
That's all right" replied the clerk,
1--WE been broke myself"
The shabby-looking man saw light
"Oh." he said.
Since then the shabby-looking man
has ceased to be shabby.

aside his paper and slowly wiping his

years to establish standing and credit.

This policy of protection has al
ways been opposed by the opponents
of the Republican party, and is op-
posed by them to-day. In their last
national platform, adopted at St.
Louis, they denounce protection as
robbery. They never have been given
power. but they proceeded by word

lection. Their platform is as silent as

substance that the gold standard is
established, and that he will govern
himself accordingly If he should be
elected"
Later on in his speech Mr. Cannon
returned to the subject uppermost in
his mind, as follows:
Correct revenue laws, protection
or free trade, the gold standard and
our currency system. all depend upon
the sentiment of the majority of our
people as voiced at the ballot box.
A majority may change our revenus
laws. a majority may change our cur
rency laws; majority may de-
stroy the gold standard and establish
the silver standard, or, in lieu of ell
ther or both, make the treasury note,
non-interest bearing and irredeem-
able, the sole standard of value.
"Sir, let us turn from the region of
doubt and double-dealing. the debat-
able land, to the region of assured GER
tainty. The Republican party stands
for protection. It stands for the gold
standard and our currency system.
All these dwell in Legislation enacted
under the lead of the Republican par
ty and against the most determined
opposition of the Democratic party,
including its leader and candidate.
These being cur policies. and having
been most useful to the country, we
have confidence in and love them. If
II be necessary from time to time that
they should be strengthened here and
controlled there, the Republican party
stands ready. with loving. competent
hands, to apply the proper remedy.

DO you mean that You are flying
from Arthur Morris?" Edith:s dark
eyes opened wide.
'I do. prefer the society of strang-
ers abroad rather than to tolerate his

Jessie. biting her lip in vexation.
They cantered in silence until they
came to the old bridge where Jessie
first met John Burt. There she refined

Jessie remained behind. Back
through the swiftly-fying years her

Did John Burt yet live? Did she
vet hold the place in his heart she oc-

He Never Saves the Bands.

When King Edward smokes cigar
the bands are religiously torn into
four pieces every time. The reason
is that once, at Marienbad, it came to
the ear of the king that band from
round one of the royal cigars, which
was stamped with the royal arms, had
been sold by an indiscreet waiter FOR
5 guineas. The man who bought it
attached the band to a similarly-made
cigar. and went round showing the
cigar to his friends, saying it had beer
given to him by the king.

attitudes OF the two parties on the
subject Of protection is herein stated
with great force. The Republican par.
ty stands committed to the doctrine
that only through the operation of the
protective policy Is 1t possible to
maintain the American standard OF
living, while the Democratic party.
caring nothing for the American
standard of living. but intent. now as
always, upon cheapening and degrad.
ing American labor. brazenly antago
nizes protection both as to principle
and policy by denouncing 1t as rob
berry" of the many for the benefit OF
the few. No matter If protection does
maintain high wages and a high
standard of living. Being robbery"
of course, protection must go. That is
the Democratic attitude.
Upon the general subject of reel
procity President Roosevelt said:
I'VE believe in reciprocity with for
eign nations on the terms outlined In
President McKinley's last speech
which urged the extension of our for
eign markets by reciprocal agree
ments whenever they could be made
without injury to American industry
and labor"
By this rule there can be no reel
procity in products which compete
with American industry and labor. II
is safe rule. 1t is the only Repub
lican rule as laid down by the ma
tional Republican convention of 1904.
1t was what President Mckinley
meant at Buffalo in 1901. 1t is what
President Roosevelt means now. 1t is
also what the Republican party means
all the time.

ty exhibits will have no cause to
be ashamed at the big show, for it
will not be excelled, if indeed it is
equaled, by any district. Howev-
or, it is to be much regretted that
there was so little interest taken
by the operators at large to send
exhibits of their mine products,
and those who have gone to the
trouble and expense of getting
together this splendid display de-
serve much credit and compliment.
Those not exerting themselves to
include representative samples of
their product have probably miss
ed an opportunity of lifetime;
certainly these exhibits will do
much towards advertising and set
ting forth the possibilities of this
district. The mineral exhibit will
be under the critical eye of min
ing men and capitalists from all
sections of the world, and that all
operators from this district have
not contributed their effort to-
wards making the display more
complete is indeed lamentable.
