THAT BUCKET BRIGADE

The National Democratic conven-
ton meets next July in Denver,
Colorado. The place is too far Off and
the time is too late TO suit some of
us. But what's the use talking. The
Denver committee came TO Washing
ton after the convention-ten OF
them, each man carried n bucket,
and each bucket contained ten thous-
and dollars in gold, which was rails
ed TO defray the expenses of the con
vention. 1t seems To have Deen a
currency question, and the conven.
lion surrendered Mt once.

A Tariff Object Lesson

Mr.. Bryan is in receipt OF prac-
tical demonstration of the iniquities
OF the present protective tariff law in
the shape OF "A handsome hunting
case gold watch, Elgin movement.
The watch was presented To him by
Mr.. Charles n. Keene, president of
the independent Watch Dealers AS
ISOLATION. On the front OF the case is
engraved the words to the effect that
the watch was presented TO Mr.. Bry-
an by Mr.. Keene, and on the back is
engraved the following:
As demonstration Of the methods
OF the American watch trust, this
watch was bought in England for
s.. 80. The same grade cost the dealer
in this country SO. 5S, a difference OF
nearly fifty per cent. "
Attached 10 the watch is card
bearing an explanation OF the way
i'm which Amerciau watch buyers ole
held up by The watch trust
through the power conferred upon ii
by the Dingley tariT law:
This watch was purchased in
England by Charles a. Keene, a
dealer in watches ut $50 Broadway.

1t was sold by the American watch

Here is the number OF the case.

In brief the Elgin Watch COM
pany made this watch, shipped il
10 England and sold il FOR s.. 9S after
paying carriage and insurance. But
the American dealer must pay SO. %
Tor the S2-..~ watch because theflgiu
wa tch company is protected to such
an extent that it can levy a toll of

granted on the plea OF protecting

THAT SURPLUS

1t is understood that there will Ice
round million dollars surplus in
the State Treasury, available for next
year. There will be Il scrarable, OF
course for this money.
There are two objects which should
have the bulk of it-schOols and
pensions. These two worthy and
needy objects should be helped. We
thought of including in this susees-
ton the roads, but the counties of
the state should build their own
roads. The state may give assistance
along certain lines, aud snouId, but
If there are ever 10 be good roads in
the state the counties must follow
the lead of Russell and other coun-
ties, and bultd their own reads. The
state proposes now to fu!nisa the
bulk of the LABOR and cost by putting
out convicts, and this is enough 10
expect of the itate. Let the counties
take care of Themselves in this ie-
gard, as lief are abundantly able 10
NC help the schools.

ernor Not Launched.
st. Paul, June 25.-"I did not an
nounce in Omaha, as reported in
news dispatch from that city, that I
was authorized to announce Governor
John A. Johnson's candidacy for the
Democratic presidential nomination"
This statement was made by Frank
A. Day, secretary to Governor John
son, when he reached st. Paul from a
trip to the coast.
A telegram in the morning papers
said Mr.. Day had officially announced
the Johnson boom at Omaha The an
nouncement in the telegram was I'M
warranted and untrue, declares Mr..
Day.
what I did say explained Mr..
Day, twas that Governor Johnson had
discouraged the efforts of his friends
to make of him a presidential candi-
date. Anything else am quoted as
saying is manufactured story"
Governor Johnson said before Mr..
Days arrival at the capitol that he did
not credit the interview, inasmuch as
he had not authorized Mr.. Day to
make the announcement attributed to
him.
