THE REPUBLICAN, DUTY.

Mr. Bryan's uiterances In Berlin

From these utterances It Is not

For MIR. Bryan still looks revolu-

ing 50 far with socialism. Of changing
the basis of our prosperity. etc. etc.
He still filrts with isms.
Thus IL follows that a policy that at
Temps to compete with Organisms is
not going TO win. for II is very evident
that Mr. Bryan still reJoices IN his
radicalism.
And Il does not lie in the way Of Re-
publican duly to take up greater radi-

TARIFF REFORM A BLUFF.
Not the People, But the Democratic
Politicians Are Calling

While considerable part OF the

the return of Democratic sentiment 70
Mr. bryan, the question of para
mount issue that will stand the wear
and tear of a campaign is a most per
picking one to the party. and very
probably to Mr.. Bryan himself. says
the Albany Journal.
Free coinage OF silver, busting Of
trusts, anti-imperialism - these have
been tried all in vain in recent years.
There Is nothing new In sight out of
which the Democracy could make a
paramount issue, and so. in its desper-
alton. the party is endeavoring to gall
vanize into 4 semblance of reyiviica-
ton ITS old. mummified issue OF tar

ton and ultimate abolition of all i'm

assidnous fostering OF discomfort to

But most Oh the people o. this coun-

gotten either It OF It's cause. And there
IS less discomfort in this prosperous

This is not a defense of graft in the government service. There is enough graft, always has been and probably always will be. When >Beni. Franklin was the first Postmaster General he had to reprove some of the officials and postmasters under him for reckless extravaganza if not actual dishonesty in hand ling the S32,000 that it took to run the department the first year. The first Secretary of the Navy, Joseph Hewes, also went officially on record, reporting that there was peculation in buy ing stores for the little schooner Resolute. But with all this there are lot of honest men now working for the government who do big things for the coun- try at large and get no profit and but little reputation out of it. The Reclamation Service is Ia case in point. That service, which is we'll known to every one in the west, now has work under way for the reclamation by irrigation of 2,000,000 acres of land. It will ultimately re- claim 50,00O,000 with the water supply now in sight. The land under all these irrigation pro- jects jumps from nothing an acre to $50 or 5000 an acre as soon as the projectis ''declared'. But the engineers. and there are hundreds of them engaged in the work, are prohibited by law from making anything out of this appreciation in values. And there has not yet been a breath of scandal about the service. The Department of Agriculture has had it's scandals, but there are plenty of honest scientists there who each year add millions to the value of the farm products of the country and get no per sonal profit out of it.
