Nothing Slow About Bryan When a
Presidential Nomination
Is in Sight.

Mr. Bryan's felicitous if not alto
sether novel remarks at the Jefferson
ian banquet will be read with interest.
Especially do those sentences COM
mand our admiration in which Mr..
Bryan graciously conveys to an await
ing world the impression that he will
not resort to extremes to escape an
other nomination, says the Chicago
Post
Many imaginatiOns would be UNEQUAL
to the feat of constructing a picture Of
Mr.. Bryan being pursued madly around
his farm by committee charged with
the duty of throwing a nomination
about his neck. There are those. in
deed, who have believed that he could
be approached without danger and
even that he would stand while the
honor was being fastened upon him.
There should now no longer be any
hesitation over the matter, and a com
mittee may be made up to push Mr.
Bryan's candidacy in the fun assur-
ancc tnat lives will not be sacrificed.
Mr.. Bryan announces that he expects
to remain in politics for % years,
whicn places beyond any doubt his
willingness to run for the presidency
Oh the democratic ticket, and, as is
necessary in that case, to keep running
for generation or so.
il should be noted in this connection
that MIR. Bryan is about to start on a
trip abroad, where it may be assumed
he will interview prospective citizens
who IN the course of the said % years
may be in a position to support this
candidacy.
Nj. Bryan's peculiar brand of dem
ocIacy' has its strong hold among the
late arrivals.

NOT A PRESENT NECESSITY
Democratic Counsel Can Be Dis
pensed With by the Re
publicans.

The assumption that the party must
now decide whether it will nor will not
revise the tariff, and when revision
shall be undertaken, is purely an arbi-
Irary act without authority. The party
may not elect to do the bidding of the
reyisIonists, says the Trenton IN. j.
Gazette.
The truth is, the matter was passed
upon at the last national convention
The national platform does not lea e
any issue to be compromised" The
Tevisionists sought TO have that done,
but the convention declined.
The attempt to force the issue now is
nothing more than bit Of personal
politics upon the part of certain ambi-
tious but discontented republicans who
hope to profit by promoting factional-
ism in the party.
When the necessity arises congress
Will revise the tariff. That necessity
does not now exist. To force it is to

1t is difficult to understand why GER

Every argument for immediate revi

the Cumminsesque statement that "the
consumer is more entitled to competi-
tiOn than the producer is to protec-

sitions, all borrowed from the demo-

MORE THAN MOUNTAINOUS
Uncle Sam, Prosperous Beyond Com
pare, Gives Everyone Work
and Good Wages.

Under the operation OF the Dingley
law Uncle Sam has sold abroad $4,000
100000 worth of goods more than he
has bought.
That's a drain we cannot stand"
says the foreigner.
1--WE must not repose in fanCied Sc
curity that we can forever sell every
thing and buy little or nothing" says
the revisionist, half quoting Mckinley.
Well, let us look into it, suggests the
American Economist. What has be-
come of the $4,000, 100000 balance in
our favor? What are we doing with
the $400, 600 balance in our favor
last year? Draining our customers and
holding it in our strong box? Not a
dollar of it. We have spent it or given
1t out right among them. We have not
a cent of it in our treasury. Some $780,
100000 of it we pay in freight charges
Fully $100,000,OOO we spend in having a
good time abroad. bringing home in eX-
change only pleasant memories. Mil
lions more are sent to the old countries
by our prosperous immigrants to those
left behind. These millions are gifts
of gold. for which we get nothing in
return. Other millions go to pay divi-
dends and interest on foreign invest
ments.
So every dollar of our balance stays
right among our customers. 1t is well
that both they and we should under
stand this. He is certainly a magnan-
imous merchant who, after selling
/ goods in town, spends all that is due
| him in buying other goods, in sightsee-
ing, in food and drink and presents to
old friends.
Uncle Sam is the most sknerous, the
most magnanimous merchant in the
world. He not only takes care. of his
| own people, but after selling more
/ goods than any other salesman he buys
| literally and then scatters what is due
him among his customers.
! This is ideal reciprocity indeed. Much
more than 500 1000 is being spent
| by American tourists in Europe every
| year in pleasures that are consumed on
| the spot and not brought home. Why,
! from $4,000, 600 to $1O0OO,O 600 are given
! by liberal tourists in tips and gratui-
! ties alone. And besides all this liber-
ality it is said that we give these for
eign customers an occasional bargain
/ when We can, selling them goods below
cost or at an unusual discount, just as
the department stores do at the end of
. the season.
A very prosperous merchant is Uncle
| Sam. And well he may be, for he is
| prosperous beyond compare, always
busy, fully employed, well paid, used
TO the best of everything lots of money
in the lank, well insured and well pro-
/ tected in every way. And so he is able
| to welcome each year million of those
who want to enjoy his opportunities
and to these he gives labor and good
wages, and soon they, too, help to scat.
ter his wealth throughout the world
What a pity it would be-what a
crime it would be-to alter a tariff
with such benefcent results to all man
kind.

PACKERS PAY BIG PENALTY.
Officials of a Chicago Firrr Pleaded
Guilty of Accepting Rebates from
Railroads and Paid $4,000 Fines.

Chicago, Sept 22-Four officials of
the SChwarZschild & Sulzberger Pack
ing Co., Of Chicago. were fined an ag-
gregate Of $4,000 by Judge Humphrey
in the United States district court
here Thursday. The fines followed
plea of guilty to indictments charging
conspiracy to accept railroad rebates.
The defendants were: Samuel We'll,
of New York, vice president of the
company; b. S. Cusey, traffic man
ager; Vance d. Skipworth and Charles
E. Todd, assistant traffic manager.
Mr.. We'll was fined $4,000, the other
three $4,000 each.
With the entering of the plea, the
declaration was made that unless at
least one of the cases is Immediately
settled, the life of Samuel We'll, who is
vice president of the company and was
one of the defendants, is in jeopardy.
He is said to be a nervous wreck and
fears were entertained for his life if
he had been allowed to continue under
the strain of trial. The plea was en-
tered, it is declared after complete
understanding had been reached be
tween counsel for the defendants and
Attorney General Moody.
The plea made Thursday does not in
in any way affect the charge of inter
ference with government witnesses
made in a previous indictment return
ed against Cusey and other Schwarzs-
child & Sulzberger men.
The fines carried with them a pro
vision that the defendants be confined
in jail until the fines were paid. The
fines, however, were paid Immediately,

the total amount s25000 The check,
