and the boy got the galleys mixed.
The first part of the obituary notice
of a impecuneous citizen had been
dumped in the forms, and the next
handful of type came off OF a gally
describing a recent fire. 1t read like
this: 'The pall bearers lowered the

regrets, for the old wreck had been an
eyesore to the town for years. OF

THE ocALA BANNER MOVING
ALONG A PEG.

When the Ocala Banner was estab-
lished forty years ago it little dreamed
that it would ever be printed on any
thing but a Washington hand press.
But a wonderful revolution has come
over the land since those days, and
the effect of this revolution has been
nowhere in evidence more than in the
printing Offices of the country. The
old Washington hand press. useful in
its day, has not only been superseded
by larger and swifter presses, but
type setting by hand is being rapidly
abandoned and now most of the news
papers and magazines of the country
are set on machines. In the Ocala
Banner office the Washington hand
press has long since been set aside;
not only this, but steam took the place
Of hand power. This in time was su-
perceded by gas, and now gas is being
superseded by that swift and powerful
agent-the electric current. The type
is set by a Mergenthaler machine and
everything is first-class and up-to-
date, or to use more modern phrase,
up-to-now.
Yes, friends, we have new presses.

pared to do the finest kind of printing

Bryan in 1903.

1t begins to look more and moro
like Mr.. Bryan is to again be the stan
dard bearer OF the democracy. A wave
of enthusiasm for him is already
spreading rapidly ocer the country.
Even those who disagreed with him
most widely in 1896 and who doubted
mis- ability, have come to recognize the
fact that he is great man, great in
in the purity OF his character. Mr..
Bryan has learned a great deal since
he went to Chicago as a newspaper
correspondent and came away the
nominee of the great democratic par
ty. Many things of moment TO the
country have happened since then and
many new questions have thrust
themselves to the front. Mr.. Bryan has
studied changes and conditions, he is
now enlarging his mental horizon by
extensive travel and observation, and
when he returns to America he will be
welcomed home as the great democrat
of the country.
He has always been sound in his
tariff views. and one of the best
speeches he made while in congress
was on this question. The free silver
issue has about passed away, or other
conditions are such that all democrats
can get together on plank on that
question. and Mr.. Bryan can take up
honesty in the administration of pub
lie affairs and tariff reform as his
paramount issues" If he will do this,
the dream of the presidency which
has been with him through two cam
paigns. may become actIalities when
third one is finished.-Selma I(Ala)

Pretty Old To Be Learning New
Tricks.

Tom Richards, with George G. Cur
rie, attorney, will long remember the
second primary election day OF June
II, 1906. Being anxious to record HIS
vote at Deerfield, he tried for backet
chairs and not being able to find one
essayed a motorcycle. This being new
to him, he Thought it better TO try 1T
around a block here, before taking
the longer journey. Alas! Alas! Here
came his Waterloo. The machine ram
away with him, and the energetic city
marshal, ever on the watch for a fee,
ran away with the motorcycle and it's
unwilling guest, and took them before

fined him IS and costs. AS the motor

purely an accident, perhaps the mayor
was hard upon them both. West Palm

a crisis in the industrial life of this
country, in solemnity and Importance,
so far as l know, without precedent or
parallel. Upon one side stands the re-

an organization, to those dominant
powers of combination, concentration,

given its characteristic economic COM
plexion to the history of the last thir-
ty years. applause on the democratic

On the other side, there isabroad in
the land a growing aggregation of re-
sentiment and anger because Of wrongs
that have not been redressed, Of rights
that have been taken away, of hope
that has been deferred. We hear the
mutterings and whisperings of a
threatened uprising in the name Of So

arisen out of exaggerated individual
ism based upon social privilege under
the laws In this hour. sir, it is my
profound belief that the safety of my
country is in the guardianship of the
democratic party whose principles are
coeval with the constitution itself,
whose perpetuity is necessarily asso-
ciated with the permanence of those
principles; a party equally opposed to
the tyranny of the few and the OPP
preston of the many and which offers
in its fundamental allegiance to the
inviolability of private property on the
one hand and of the individual liber-

A DESERVED RECOGNITION.

Senator Taliaferro has been assign
ed to the committee on finance to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Senator German. inis is the ranking
committee Of the senate and a place
on it is very high compliment in
deed to senator who is only begin
ming his second term of service.
The appointment will increase SEN
ator Taliaferro's opportunities of use
fulness to Florida. When proposed
tariff legislation reaches the senate it
goes into the hands of this committee.
The Times-Union favors a tariff for
revenue only, without giving to any
one one dollar of protection that can
be avoided. So long as the system of
protection is maintained, however, its
favors should be equitably distributed.
The republican party, processing to
favor reciprocity, will listen to no talk
in that line except with South or Cen
trail American nations or If it deals
with other nations it will give no con-
cessions except on agricultural prod
ucts. Republican reciprocity would buy
markets for northern manufacturers
at the expense of the agriculture of
the south and especially of Florida.
Concessions on sugar hurt Louisiana
and injured Florida's prospects. Con
cesssions on tropical fruits would
greatly injure Florida. We would like
to see all protection go, but we are
not willing to give up the little that
the south receives only to buy more
favors for the north.
On this committee Senator Italia
ferro will be able to look after the
interests of Florida. OF course the
democrats oppose the whole nefarious
system, but Senator Taliaferro will be
in position to fight all attempts to
make it more nefarious than it is by
making it even more sectional than
il is.
A revenue tariff is properly levied on
tobacco because an internal revenue
tax is imposed on it. thus making this
commodity help support the govern
ment whether produced at home OF
abroad. A revenue tariff should be
levied on the grade of cotton pro
duced in Egypt, because it is a grade
not produced in this country. 1t might
benefit the growers of long staple cot
ton in this country by raising the price
of Egyptian cotton, but If it did this
it would still yield more revenue thar
protection. A tariff on sugar anC
pineapples would be a revenue tariff
because the amount of protection /
would give would be insignificant IL
comparison with the reyeue 1t woul'
produce. Democrats should figh
against striking revenue features
from the tariff as earnestly as the.
should fight for striking out protec
tive features.-Times-Un Union.

Salt of the Earth.

In an editorial in the Ashland, (Pa.)
Telegram on J. Irwin Steele, who died
the other day we find the following:
I'm the profession which he honored
he was strong and uncompromising for
what he believed to be just and right.
He disposed hypocracy. He gave
blows and he took them without
wincing-he was always man."
And here is his newspaper creed:
Never allow personal prejudice TO
enter into anything that might be
said in it's columns, and be always
faithful in serving the public, and,
above all, to keep its columns clean.
He wanted his newspaper to go into
the home a true compendium of the
local events, and always to be 50
clean and wholesome that it would be
a welcome visitor ito every fireside. He
wanted it to be a true reflex OF his
character and to emphasize the in
terest that he always felt in the COM
munity and the pride that he took in
his town."
