 Why do the republicans favor high tariff laws which tax eighty millions of people for the benefit of a small fraction of the population? Because they look at the subject from the standpoint of the beneficiaries of protection, while the denl-s ocrats consider the rights and interests of the consumers.
 "Why do the republican leaders refuse to enact laws for the regulation of rail roads? Because they look at the sub ject from the standpoint of the railway magpates, while the democrats consider the interest of the patrons and the in- tcrest of the stockholders, both of whom have reason to complain of the manage ment of some of our railroad systems
 Expense of Imperialism.
 why is it that the republican leaders are willing to continue the enormous ex- pense of imperialism when 1t has brought nothing but danger and humiliation? Be- cause the republican leaders are con sidering the interests of a few who hope to secure oriental trade, while the dem ocratic party considers both the rights of the Fiipinos and the iqterests of the democratic masses who pay the taxes and furnish the funds required for the military support of colonial policy.
 AS I may add the difference in the point of view will explain the difference in the remedies proposed to relieve the present financial strngency. It came from speculation in Wall street and the republican leaders have so tied the coun- try to Wall street that millions must shiver when the Wall street spectators get cold. The republican remedies all provide that the high financiers shall be well paid for acting as guardians, while democratic remedies look to the protec- ton of the depositors and the business of the country.
 ''The time is ripe for a democratic ap- peal to sentiment of the country. There is No doubt that a large majority of the people take the democratic rather than the aristocratic view of government ani of society. All that we have to do to so convince those whose democratic sentiment that the democratic party can be trusted Is to b. democratic If entrust- ed with power I believe that in the com ing Congress our democratic senators and representatives will prove themselves equal to the task imposed upon them and demonstrate the fidelity of the party to democratic principles. Then, with united party we can face a divided op- position and enter the campaign with tie assurance of victory"

Immjurants Emiuratinq

Our new and unassimilated fellow citizens are returning to the old coun' try by the thousands weekly. The steerage of every outgoing steamer is crowded, and it is estimated that the outflow is at present as large as the inflow.
 This exodus has some relieving fea- lures. It will at any rate assist the army of the unemployed, for it will lessen the labor congestion in the large cities and in all industrial cen ters. It will go far in enabling Ameri- can workingmen to secure even in a period of depression living wages. When the plants are started up and are again overwhelmed with orders the outgoing tide will become no doubt an incoming one, and America will be none the worse on account of win ters exodus.
 The steerage rates are low, winter is approaching, and the returning emi- grants are no doubt little homesick. It will do them no harm to spend a winter at home, and if some of them should fail to return their good luck
 
 here will lead their neighbors to come here when times are better. This country will get enough immigrants whenever we need them and can give them employment.

Savings Bank Habit.

After long period of business pros- perity there Is little excuse for any man of average health and energy being without funds" said thrifty citizen. There has been work for every man who was willing to work; and as a matter of fact the majority of wage earners have saved money enough to live in comfort without, employment if necessary, and maintain families for two or three years on their accumula- tions. Conditions are very different in this respect from those obtaining in 1893.
 q came to Birmingham in 1898 with only money enough to pay my board for a month. I have never been with out employment since the first week I set foot in this town; end while I am not a rich man today, l could quit work tomorrow and never strike an- other lick and yet keep out of the poor house if I lived to an old age. I at tribute my comfortable fix largely to the savings bank habit.'

Street Liahts.

Tt is hoped the city council in provid- ing appropriations for next year will not overlook the demand for additional street lights" said an old citizen. 'If arc lights were expensive, if the proper light ing of the streets in residence sections in- volved a large outlay-the demand for more light would not be pressed at this time, when the city fathers are con- fronted with difficult problem in steer ing clear of 8 heavy deficit but some- thing like 5000 year would pay for all the necessary additional lights.
 "A few residence sections on the north side are very dark at night and several streets on the south side are in total darkness. The city council should strain a point in this matter. Nothing makes so poor an impression on strangers as dark streets"

Cause of Automobile Accidents.


 Officer Dickson, who has been in charge of the South Highland district for a num- Der of years, and whose efforts have ac- complished much in lowering the speed of automobiles, declares that there should be some standard of efficiency proved be- ing hand of chauffeur.
 "The greater part of the trouble l have experienced in lowering the speed of au- tomobiles," stated Officer Dickson last night at Five Points," comes from negro drivers. To my mind, one of the large cars requires man of proficiency to bring out its best efforts, and certainly a man of experience to drive it without endangering the lives of others. There should be law, l believe, to require a chauffeur to pass certain examination tests. You can take the average negro of little experience and he loses his head while seated in big machine. He sell dom knows whether he is going at an eight-mile or a 2:40 gait. You can fol- low the list of accidents from automo- piles, and you will find that at the time the great majority were manned by na- groes. or equally as inexpert white en- ployes."

This gentleman was in my store day or two ago and in dis cussing this matter said he had been in Pittsburg a good deal since this deal took place and that the people there were very uneasy about it. The opin- ion seems to be that the corporation will concentrate most of its effort to- ward the developing of the Birming
