BOLD BRYAN MESSAGES.
The Perennial Democratic Humbug
Gives Forth a Part
ing Bray.

The last thing before leaving his
country for his country's good Mr.
Bryan has published in the Commoner
an open letter to President Roosevelt,
which is probably the most impudenC
thing he has ever perpetrated, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
The subject-matter is the president
as peacemaler and the treatment IS
a combination of patronage and toady-
ism. He graciously comedies that the
president managed the Russo-Japanese
peace conference very. we'll, but pro-
ceeds to offset this generous compIi-
ment with a criticism of the presi-
dents course with reference to the ar
bitration treaty with European coun-
tries which the president negotiated
and the senate rejected.
He says the senate "wisely refused
20 surrender the treaty y-making pow
er," which is probably the most Of
fensive thing he could have said to
the president Then he makes a silly
recommendation about an internation-
al arbitration board which betrays q
ence agreements. All of this is
coucned in Bryan's inimitable ungram-
matiCal and incoherent phraseology.
Could anything be more disgusting ,
Ever since the last presidential elec
ton, in which Bryan and his followers
were buried out of sight by an indfe-
nant country, he has pursued the pres
ident like a poodle dog, sometimes
barking to attract his attention and
then licking his boots to cultivate his
acquaintance.
Bryan flatters the president with as
surances that he is a good democrat.
He tries to overwhelm him by assur-
anceS that he would even vote for him
He "honors" him with visit and q
conference" on public affairs. Now
he writes him this revolving open let
ter rraising him. censuring him and
counseling him. Could anything be
more indecent?
President Roosevelt has never de-
served this humiliation and his friends
should resent it.
AS a perennial democratic humbug
Bryan is at liberty to criticise and
even to slander the president, but the
country will draw the line at jollyng
raaging, patroniZing and chumminess.
If there were any lese-majeste laws In
America the preparation of such Of
fenses as his presidential messages"
would consign him to a felon's cell

THE big THREE"
IN A COMBINE
THEYPU MONEY INTO A POOL TO
PAY LOBBYISTS LookAFTER
INSURANCE LEGISLATION.
SCHIFF ATTACKS Mr.. HENDRICKS
He Assails the New York Superin-
tendent of Insurance-He Said
EquitabIe's Finance Commit
tee Was Dominated by
by Mr.. Hyde.

New York, Sept. 30.-When the leg
islative committee on the insurance
investigation adjourned yesterday un-
til next Wednesday il concluded a
week in which greater progress had
been made than in any week since the
investigation begun.
1t was during the afternoon session
yesterday when Alfred w. Maine, an
associate auditor of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society was called to
the stand, that it was disclosed that
the Equitable Life, the Mutual Life
and the New York Life companies had
formed q pool to look after legislation
before the various state legislatures.
Andrew Hamilton, to whom President
Mccall, Of the New York Life paid
several checks the purpose of which
the counsel for the committee, Mr..
Hughes, has not yet brought to light,
was one of the chief members of the
legal staff for these companies and
was employed and received money for
services from the Equitable.
Not the least important develop
ment of the day was the appearance
on the stand of Jacob II. Schiff, head
Co. He vigorously defended his atti-
tude while a director of the Equitable
society and claimed his firm had acted
in a conscientious manner in all its
dealings with the society. At the con
clusion of his testimony and before the
committee could adjourn, Mr.. Schiff
asked to be allowed to make a state
ment. He was permitted and he made
an impassiOned attack on the state
superintendent of insurance and
statements he had made concerning
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. during the investi-
cation of the Equitable.
During his testimony Mr.. Schiff
made the charge that the minutes of
the finance committee regarding GER
tain meeting were false. He later
qualified this, however, by saying if
the transaction under consideration,
one in Union Pacific preferred, was ac-
tually made he did not hear it, though
he was present at the meeting. Again
during his testimony regarding the
power of the finance committee of the
Equitable society Mr.. Schiff said that
the entire committee was at the mercy
of one man. 1T was all Hyde" said
Mr.. Schiff, "all Hyde and Alexander"
New York, Sept. 2S.-Yesterday's
session of the legislative committee to
investigate insurance methods was
given over to the matter of syndicate
transactions of the Equitable Life AS
surance Society. Henry r. Winthrop,
assistant secretary and financial sec
retary, was on the witness stand and
many of his statements were accom-
panied by typewriter documents Civ
ing the various transactions in detail.
1t was brought out that in one of these
syndicates Senator Depew was a par
ticipant to the extent of 100000 and
the senator was requested to appear
before the committee.
An astonishing revelation was made
when Mr. Winthrop declared that vari-
Gus sums that had been paid to the
Equitable, amounting in all to $92 ,493,
had disappeared. There is no record
of the final resting place of the money.

DUAL TARIFF CUTS PRICES
Home Market Would Be Weakened
and Wages Would Go
Down.


In the glad days of the Wilson tariff.
when the foreigners were not "strang-
ling the American export trade in ag-
ricultural products and manufactured
goods" our total exports of everything
in 1895 were S793, 1892, ,599. In the ifs al
year of 1905 they were $1,518.5 SCI ,720!
Our great basic industry cannot
suffer, says the New York Press, 50
long as the American people have 50
much money and are living so well
that they take all the farmers offers a.
the lest prices of modern history. II
the farmer sells all he raises at top
prices it will take the dual tariff" re-
yisers a long time to convince them
that they would be better off selling
more abroad at lower prices and less
at home at lower prices.
Put American wage earners ont of
employment and the first thing to go
down in price will be our farm pred
ucts for the first thing the men who
arc out of work, or on reduced time
and wages will do will be to eat less
wear less and cut down their general
living expenses. What the farmer
wishes to preserve is his market OF
good priCes-the home market. The
dual tariff" will weaken the home
market and lower all prices, commodi-
ties and wages alike.

BUSINESS BAROMETER.
The Leading Industries Are Assured of
Great Activity for Months to Come.

New York, Sept. 30-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Lower temperature stimulates retail
trade and fall openings are largely at
tended, but the weather is not cold
enough to menace late crops that are
maturing most satisfactorily. Ger
tainty of a successful season on the
farms contributes more than any
other single factor to the confidence
that is felt in all sections of the coun.
try Comparatively little new grain
has been marketed thus far, which is
largely due to the planting of winter
wheat and other preparations for next
year that are unusually extensive.
Manufacturing activity is fully
maintained, the leading industries
having contracts assuring little idle
machinery during the balance of the
year, and it is probable that more
business will be carried over into 1906
than at the opening of any previous
year.
Failures this week numbered 250 in
the United States, against 223 last
year, and 2l in Canada, compared with

two and four tracks at different places,

extended over the entire line in the future.
