1857 Democratic legislation was respon-
sible. The reaction after the war of
1928 was a leading cause in the
panic of 1918. When the panic of 1857
took place the Republican party was
only year old as a national Organi-
cation, and was not in power in any
branch of the government. The De
mocracy had the president, both
branches of congress and large ma
jority of the supreme court, just as it
had when the panic of 1887 occurred.
Since the rebellion days two panics
have taken place. One was in 1878,
when the Republicans were in power.
TIE other was in 1898, when the Dem
ocrats had the president and both
houses of congress. The chief factor
in precipitating the panic of 1873 was
the characterization, speculation, dislo-
cation and destruction caused by the
Democratic party's rebellion of 1861
Co. The Democracy was crushed at
AppomattoX, but it got even" with the
country by precipitating the industrial
smash-up of 1878. The knowledge that
CIeveIand's vistory in 1893 would in
cite a raid on the tariff by Cleveland's
party started the panic of 1893 several
months before his tariff-smashers had
a chance to get to work.
The person who would start out to
expose all the falsehoods in the Demo
cratic campaign textbook of 1906 might
have an easy and pleasant job, but he
would not have time to do anything
else for several months. Most of the
falsehoods, like that which ascribes
all the panics to the Republican party,
are so palpable that they will excite
laughter rather than anger among Re
publicans. but, as they may deceive and
humiliate some poor Democratic editor
or stump speaker, they are rather stu
Did. 4 specimen assertion in the book
is that President Roosevelt has shown
greater regard for the interests of the
corporations and less regard for the
law than any other executive this coun-
try has ever had" Like the pretense
about the panics, this statement, on
first look, might seem like Il slip of the
pen. But it is evidently meant to de-
Jude its readers. The sort of regard
which Roosevelt showed for the cor
porations was revealed when he upset
the Northern Securities company, when
he smashed the paper trust, when he
overthrow the beef trust, and whens at
this moment. he is making a war on the
Standard oil trust which promises to
land some of its chiefs behind prison
bars. He showed his regard" for the
corporations also when he pushed the
railway rate regulation bill through
congress, and when he put the pure
food and the meat inspection laws on
the statute books. The corporations
would rather be spared this sort of ''re-
gard" The lies which Uncle Joe point
ed out about himself in the Democrat
ic textbook have brothers, cousins and
aunts scattered through the whole col
ume. Chairman Griggs and his asso-
ciates must still hold to Horace Gree
ley's definition that the Democratic
party is the organized ignorance of the
country.-St- Louis Globe-Democrat

PncL.inc Rutter for Winter.

All housekeepers know the value of
butter in midwinter. They who have
butter in summer might just as well
be bountifulIy supplied in winter,
states a West Virginia writer. Try
the following plan, which has been
tested and found satisfactory. Pro
cure several nice clean jars, new ones
are preferable. After the butter is
worked, let it stand for perhaps an
hour, then work again, and so on
until sure that there is absolutely no
trace Of water or milk in it. Now fill
the jars and cover the top well with
dry, clean salt. Place cloth over
the jar to keep salt in its place and
turn jar upside down on a clean piece
of slate. Let remain in this condition
until wanted for use.

horror of the dream, and went above in
my fannels. l looked into Paolo's bunk.
and he slept there. in so heavy a sleep
that | began to doubt altogether the truth
of what | had believed. How could this
man have left my cabin as he had done,
and yet now be berthed in his own? The
dream had cheated me, as dreams often
do.
But more sleep was not to be thought
of. / fell to talk with Dan. and paced
the deck with him. asking what was his

We'll. you see, sir. as there amt no

don't go for to look to hearin' of voices,
or, in plain lingo, there's something queer
about it,
The sound of a gunshot to Ieeward
awoke me from my thoughts. Fearing
that some vessel lay in distress, we put
the helm up and went half-speed for a
time. We had cruised thus for five min
utes or more when a terrific report burst
upon our ears. The thunderous echoing
of a great weapon which a man-of-war
only could carry.
The sound died away slowly; but in the
same minute the fog lifted and l saw,
away a mile on the starboard bow, a spec
tacle which brought a great flush upon my
face, and let me hear the sound of my
own heart beating.

stiu PRESSING Forward.

1t needs no subtle analysis of the
Presidents speech at Harrisburg TO
find therein the sentiments of a man
who is guided by lofty patriotism
and who is inspired by ideals that
make for the moral welfare of the ma
ton. The government has made prog
ress in its efforts to curb corporate
greed, but there is much more to be
done before capital has been reduced to
its legitimate functions.
That is the keynote of the speech
and coming as it does on the eve of
another session of congress, it fur
nishes an insight into the program
which the president will advocate And
he takes pains to make it clear that he
has no sympathy with assaults on

'All honest men must abhOr and rep

all we can to encourage thrift and
business energy, to put premium on
the conduct of the man who honestly
earns his livelihood and more than his
livelihood, and who honestly uses the
money he has earned. But 1t is our
clear duty to see that there is ade-
quate supervision and control over the
business use of the swollen fortunes
of today, and also wisely to determine
the conditions on which these fortunes
are to be transmitted and the percent
ages that they shall pay to the govern

work. To relegate it to the states is a
farce, another way of saying that it

Berry Boxes.

A great many growers of small fruits
make practice of shipping their prod
ucts in boxes with false bottoms. The
bottoms are set up about half an inch
for the purpose of deceiving the Gus
toners and making them believe that
they are getting box full of berries.
1t is disappointing to get fooled like
this, and it has a tendency to reduce
the amount of fruit used Another dis
agreeable practice is putting the best

Foolish Exporters.

In 1880 the United States exported
100000 pounds of butter and 12,0O0,-
600 pounds of cheese, says a consular
report. Twenty five years later, in the
calendar year 1905, this country ex-
ported 100000 pounds of butter and
100000 pounds of cheese. This ire
mendous decline. Notwithstanding the
increased demand abroad, was due to
the methods followed by some Ameri-
can exporters, who shipped adulterated
butter, sold oleomargarine fer butter,
and used similar methods in the ex-
DOrtation of cheese.

The Uncertainties of Revision.


AS Mr.. Roosevelt seems to recognize
distinctly in his letter to Congressman
Watson. tariff revision is not a simple
question Of readjusting this or that
particular rate or schedule, as econom-
ic conditions change. Nobody would
oppose this or that reasonable and
harmless readjustment If it could be
attained without exciting universal
and disastrous perturbation. Unfortu-
nately, hitherto in the history of tariff
emendation it has proved impracticabIe
to enact two or three amendments
senting to innumerable others. some.
possibly, innocuous, many mischievous
in a high degree. That is why the pros
pect of any tariff revision inevitably
unsettles prices, alarms capital, post
pones contracts, and paralyZes Droduc-
ton. 1t is the limitless uncertainty
that stops the wheels of business. It
is. Of course. possible in theory to con-
ceive of tariff revision strictly con-
fined to two or three items which might
have no dislOcating influence on the ma
items industrial machinery. If. for
instance, it were practicable for the
president to announce that, in his opfn-
ion, two or three changes in the Ding
ley tariff should be made, but that If
p bill to that effect should contain any
other changes than those specified it
would be vetoed by him, not ripple
would be witnessed on the smooth cur
rent of the national prosperity. Such
a Iictatorial announcement, however,
would be resented bitterly by the ed
eral legislature, and in practice, there
fore, might be out of the question. We
infer that, as things are now, and so
long as our prosperity endures, Presi- |
dent Roosevelt is stand-patter.-Har
