BRYAN AND TIE TARIFF.
The Peerless Candidate Qualified to
Lead Free Trnde Cohorts.

The enthusiasm with which the Dem
ocratic leaders are hailing the coming
Of Nj. Bryan from his tour through
foreign parts and the fact that num-
Der of state delegations in various
parts of the country have given in
lorsement to the proposition for MAX
ing MIR. Bryan the nominee of the Dem
0cratic party in 1908 convince most of
the political observers here that unless
something unforeseen happens Mr.
Bryan will be the Democratic nominee
for the presidency, practically without
0pppSitiOn 1t also seems to be the
opinion that Mr.. Bryan hopes to unite
the various wings OF the Democratic
party on a middle ground of compaIa-
tive conservatism, abandoning all refer
ences TO the money question ana max
ing the campaign solely upon the issue
of the tariff and opposition to corpora
tons
Whatever may be said about the I'M
soundness Of Mr.. Bryans economic
opinions generally and regardless of
the views now entertained by many
people throughout the country respect
ing the conservatism of Mr. Bryan
compared with the strik ing illustrations
the country has had within the past
two or three years of want of con
scTvatism in high places, the country
will not forget that William J. Bryan
is and always has been radical op-
ponent of the protective tariff and per-
ciCfppt I'm hiS Il f,t Ia
1t will not be forgotten that Mr. Bryan
was a member of the committee on
ways and means of the house of rep
resentatives in 1894 and had con
spicuous part in the work of that COM
mittee in framing the iniquitous Wilson
tariff law. 1t will not be forgotten
that so radical was the Wilson bill
when it left the committee of which
Mr.. Bryan was conspicuous member
that il required the efforts of Senator
German and other Democrats in the
senate to save it from being the most
obnoxious free trade bill ever present
ed in congress. Even after the senate
Democrats had materially modified the
bill the measure when ii became a law
was so obstructive OF American inter-
ests and SO liberal in its encourage
ment of foreign competition that im-
ported commodities flooded the markets
of the United States, while the mills
and factories throughout this country
stood idle and American workingmen
dined at soup houses in the leading in
dustral centers of Tie country
Mr., Bryan has a record on the tariff
question that qualities him to be the
leader of the Democratic party in ii
presidential campaign on that issue
He may not be radical at this time on
the subject Of free silver, but the most
ardent free trader in the country would
not be disappointed on account of want
Of radicalism on the part of Mr.. Bryan
In his denunciation of the protective
system.

Farms in the vicinity of Muncy
are beginning to be enclosed by val
liable young hickory, walnut, and
butternut trees. The farmers realiZ-
ing the dearth and scarcity of these
sort of trees, are overcoming the sit
uation by this means.
In former years the fields have
been surrounded with fences, but
now that the line fences have be-
come thing of the past the tree
planting idea has become quite gen
eral. Scarcely ever does one see a
heavy line fence surrounding the
fields of the farms that stretch
throughout that valley, and oftener
does one see the edges of the fields
dott ed with a thrifty growth of
young fruit and nut trees.

A most unfortunate and fatal ac-
cident occurred last week on the
Bloomsbury fair grounds in which
an old man lost his life.
David Winner was on top of load
of straw that was about to be uu-
loaded into the fair stables when he
in some manner lost his balance and
fell from the wagon, striking his
head on the stable. He breathed
only a few times after the fall. A
doctor was summoned and said the
mans neck had been broken.
Another man nearby tried to save
Mr.. Winner, but his movements
were impeded hy a pitchfork he was
holding and before he could lend as
sistance the unfortunate man had
fallen.
Mr.. Winner was native of Hem
lock township, Columbia county,
and lived in Bloomsbury and Cata-
wissa nearly all his life. He was 76
years of age.

BRYAN A FREE TRADER.
He still Regards Protection as a
Great National EVIL.

Great National Evil.
Mr.. Bryan has not recanted the po-
ltical doctrines he preached in 1896
land 1900. He stands today where he
stood then, ana his two cardinal prin-
clples then were free silver and free
trade
There is one great virtue of Mr.. Bry-
ans character. lie is consistent and
unwavering III his principles. He is
not a trimmer or an opportunist
When the Democratic party dominates
him for president in 1903. as there is
now every Indication that it will do, he
will dictate the platform and make the
campaign issues.
Mr.. Bryan believes that tariff protec-
ton is a great national evil that shell
ters whole brood of evils. He would
apply tie Ak to the roots of the tariff
system. His doctrine is the time hon
ored Democratic doctrine that tariff
should be made for revenue only, with
out any regard to manufacture: that
the government has no right to impose
taxes for any other purpose save the
expense of the government
The financial doctrine of Mr.. Bryan
has been so well discredited by expert
ence in the last ten years that it will
be held in the background. In matters
of real reform President Roosevelt and
congress have cut away the ground
from Mr.. Bryan and his party. There
will therefore be no issue to come up
in the next two years to have equal i'm
oortlnce with the tariff question, and
that viii be the great issue of the can
didacy of Mr. Bryan
Meanwhile the country will have oc-
casion in the congressional elections
this year TO pass preliminary Judgment
on the tariff question. The voters will
say in the elections in the various
states whether they are prepared to
carry out the theories of Mr. Bryan.
New Jersey will go on record with the
rest of the country. The first FIVE
years since the last federal census
show q phenomenal increase in the in
dustrial prosperity of this state What
the federal census of 1910 will show
depends wholly upon the results of the
elections for congressman and presi-
dent in the state and national elections
in 1906 and 19OS.-Newark Advertiser.

Another Victim.

The Osler theory is responsible for
the termination of the life of Henry
Sando, at Lebanon, who believed in
the doctrine that man had outlived
his usefulness when he reached the
age that incapacitated him for work !,
and he accordingly went to the gar
ret of his home and hanged himself,
last Saturday. Sando, who was 63
years old, and retired blacksmith
in good circumstances, raised fami-
ly of five children, all of whom
turned out well and one of whom
is about to be ordained Reformed
minister and is attending the Ursin-
us Theological Seminary at College
vile. He worked hard all his life
and accumulated several valuable
properties and his family connec-
tions were of the best He contend
ed, however, that Osler is right, and
that when man is without any ca
pacity for work he should be put out
of the way.
