Mr.. Bryan is a free trader. In his
latest generalized manifesto he says
the tariff is one of the issues be will
discuss hereafter. But this is not Il
question on which he is likely TO
change his record in the least nor can
he modify it essentially without violat-
ing ali Democratic precedent. In all
that he has said or written in the past
Bryan hes wholly condemned the prin-
ciple of protection IN a tariff. His
most noted speech in Congress was a
long and elaborate argument against
any protection in any schedule. He con-
tended that the constitutional rights Of
the people forbid the inclusion in any
tariff rate of a purpose to build up
American industries or to protect
American wages against open foreign
competition. He held that tariff
should be based entirely on public rev.
enue requirements, and that American
manufacturing interests and the wage
earners connected with them should
adjust themselves as best they can to
foreign production and wages. This
is free trade and the Bryanites should
not balk at the only term that squarely
expresses their position on the tariff.
They are not tariff revisionists. All
parties are for tariff revision as occa-
sion arises. Republicans have revised
protective tariffs again and again, but

The Tariff WIZ staad.

at the conference of Republican lead
ers at Oyster Bay it was .ssermined
that the party, in the .grsssional
campaign, shall oppose all tinkering
with the tariff at this time President
Roosevelt, Speaker Cannon. Chairman
Sherman OF the Congressional Cam
paign Committee, and the rest of the
Republican ehieftains who were at the
meeting, took this position. 1t will be
proclaimed in the Republican text
book for 1906, which will be issued in
two or three weeks. At the meeting,
where the proofs were submitted TO the
President, the final touches were given
to the textbook. Every campaign ora-
tor and every Republican newspaper
will have copy of the textbook by the
formal opening of the campaign. 1t is
well to have the party's position on
this issue officially set forth at the out
set in the canvass, because in Iowa,
Wisconsin. Massachusetts and one or
two other States there has recently
been some talk in favor of tariff re-
vision.
Republican stump speakers and news
paper will, in 1906, have an easy and
pleasant task in setting forth the bene-
fits which the tariff has conferred upon
the country. They can point to more
prosperity at home than has ever been
seen in the past, and can show the larg-
est foreign trade which has ever been

The Alabama came into port to coal
and reft, and the kearsarge soon fol-
lowed. Captain Semmes, of the Ala
bama, was hero in the eyes of the
young woman, and he was much
amused at her abuse of the Federal
vessel. Captain Semmes knew that the
kearsarge had run him to ground and
would fight him in any case. so he sent
a challenge for fair combat In neutral
waters outside the Cherbourg break
water. On receiving the challenge the
Kearsarge put out to sea. The spec

but it had only gone outside to wait.
That night the young woman was

and quiet. Turning to her, he said:

The day of the battle friend Of
hers, who had man-of-war boat at her
command because her husband was an
officer in the French army, invited the
young American girl to go out to the
breakwater with her to witness the en-
gagement. On their way out they rowad
as near the Alabama as possible, and
stood up in the boat and cheered. The
men on the Alabama cheered back and
dipped its flag At half-past it
steamed slowly out, going straight TO
where the Kearsarge waited. The Deer
hound, an English yacht, kept near It.
1t was a long, tedious time before
they settled to fight Finally they
opened fire. When the smoke cleared
away the Alabama seemed to be max
ing for Cherbourg. Then it began TO
settle, and tie gallant ship went down
within 200 yards of the Deerhound. its
eolors flying. Through the powerful
telescopes the ladies in the man-of-war
boat could see the yacht speeding of.
They did not know then that it had
picked up Captain Semmes and thirty
nine men and was making straight For
England.
The man-of-war boar went to render
assistance, and the girls Gid not get
off the breakwater until O'Clock.
When they got back to Cherbourg ev-
