uuIred knowledge, a debater strong in statement and adroit in argument. In addition he is an honest man and sincere in the practice of his devilment. Railing from Pittsburg-that is a product of tariff privilege-he has persuaded himself that the chief mission of the tariff is to protect and its incidental office to raise revenue. Hence he faYors prohibitory du- ties on whatever Pittsburg can turn out. For example, the duty on wire rope and wire strand is 56 22 per cent, and practi- cally prohibitory; on cutlery the duty s TO per cent; files and rasps, 7S.69 per cent; on chains, 49 35 per cent; on tin plates, 52.S7 per cent. These are sam pie gratis of MT. Dalzel writ in the tariff to increase the Pittsburg tribe of millionaires. Governments are bad pr worse In exact proportion to the degree of privilege 1t allows favored classes Privilege in governments is the antithesis of equality. Tariff duties laid to pro- tect the steel trust are a privilege that concern enjoys and that must be pald by the ordinary citizen, for the babe un- born and the dead unburied, well as all in active being, are affected by the prices of iron and steel If the tariff did not enhance the price of iron and steel and all the manufactures thereof every ironmaster would turn free trader The only meaning of the word protection as 1t relates to the tariff is the privilege to monopolize the market and charge eX- orbitant prices
 Since the southern question made way for the issues growing out of policies of political economy we have had five great national tariff battles in this coun- try-1sS2, 1886. 1888, 1S9O and 1892. In each and all of them the tariff was para mount Tnre of them-1Ss2, 1890, and 1S92- resulted in signal democratic victories. One, 1886, was q substantial democratic victory One 1888, was a republican Vic- tory by the senderest of margins. The tariff was more or less considered in 1876 and 1884 Democratic years, as 1t was in 1SsO when Garfield, tariff reformer, by the way, headed the republican ticket and was elected. Here is the one pros- porous issue for the democratic party honest and constitutional taxes; but the party has a master, and though that

man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.
 Now, 1t is clear from the connection that the Apostle was not here writing nor thinking about heaven; for in the very next verse he says that God hath revealed them unto us by his spirit; that is to say he is speaking of the gospel as a revelation to us here upon this earth. No psychological research; no human powers of investigation can find out the great spiritual truths which the gospel re- veals. These truths are spiritually dis aerned7 and are not apprehended by "the natural man.

He was an intimate friend of the younger William Pitt whose whole soul was absorbed in politics and who had paid little attention to religion. Wilberforce took Pitt to church with him one Sunday. The preach CT gave a sound, solid sermon on the atonement Wiberforce greatly enjoyed the sermon, and upon leaving the church he asked Pitt: What did you think of the sermon?"

Bryan is the candidate. My humble advIca to the democratic party is to fix for 1912. The republicans cannot even revise the tariff, much less reform it, so the issue of real tariff reform will be as irresistible in 1912 as it was in 1882 or 1890 or 1892
 MT. Dalzell was born in New York City in 1S45 When a child he was taken to Pittsburg by his parents. and has re- sided there ever since. He was given an excellent and a classical education. His is a legal mind and he naturally chose the law for a profession. He had not long to wait for clients, and while yet a young man he got to be one of the general counsel of the Pennsylvania rail- road. At the bar he was noted for the readiness with which he grappled with matters suddenly and unexpectedly sprung by his adversaries. He seemed always prepared and appeared to know the other sides case as well as his own.
 And thus Dalzell was d leading and successful lawyer in 1886 when he was re- turned to the Fiftieth Congress. It was time Pig Iron" Kelley was soon to leave the stage where he had played 50 great a part as the leader of the pro- tectlonists Once a democrat and free trader, for more than quarter of d century with eloquent tongue he had echoed the false economy of Henry C.. Carey on the floor of Congress and taught that taxation for private purposes was national blessing. He was an honest man on the financial question greenbacker- and despite some affected mannerisms, he was q powerful and an eloquent public speaker Now his race was run, his ca reer almost closed, and Pennsylyanid, j, seeking man to wear his mantle, gave it to John Dalzell, who has put even more privileges in the tariff than old Pig Iron" ever preached. Not only did Pitts burg send Dalzell to Congress in lSS6, but 1t sent an emissary out to Illinois

RHYME OF THE DREAM-MAkER
 MAN.

By William Allen White. Down near the end of the wandering lane, That turns round the cares of the day, Where Conscience and Memory meet and
 explain
 Their quaint little quarrels away A misty air-castle sits back in the dusk Where brownies and hobgobins dwell.
 And this is the home
 Of a busy old gnome Who is making up dream things to sell.
 My dear, The daintiest dream things to sell. He makes golden dreams out of wicked
 mems signs. He weaves on the thread of hope The airlest faneies of pretty brown eyes, And patterns his work with trope The breath of rose and the blush of d
 wish
 Boiled down to the ghost of bliss
 He wraps in d smile
 Every once in while And calls it the dream of kiss. Last night when l walked through the
 portals of sleep And came to the weird little den, I looked in the place where the elf-man

THE INDIAN sERENAoE.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley. 1 arise from dreams of thee In the first sweet sleep of night, When the winds are breathing low And the stars are shining bright 1 arise from dreams of thee. And spirit in my feet Hath led me--who knows how? To thy chamber window. Sweet. The wandering airs they faint On the dark, the silent stream And the champak's odors fall Like sweet thoughts in dream; The nghtingales complaint It dies upon her heart, As l must die on thine o beloved as thou art! O lift me from the grass. I die, 1 faint, I fall Let thy love in kisses rain On my lips and eyellds pale. My cheek is cold and white. alas! My heart beats loud and fast: o press 1t close to thine again. Where 1t will break at last.

"HIS man has exerted a powerful
 political influence in this country
 l the past fifteen years. The Ding ley tariff, in it's most important schedule, is John Dalzelfs handwork. Under its operation the American people are taxed hundreds of millions of dollars annually lon iron and steel, and manufactures thereof, of which but $9,1S1O43 found the way to the United States treasury In the fiscal year 1906. All the rest was pure graft, and went to swell the profits of the steel trust and kindred concerns and pay dividends their watered stocks. This country Is the biggest pro- ducer of iron and steel in the world, and makes the cheapest iron and steel in the world Given a monopoly of the do- nestle market, our ironmasters send abroad immense cargoes of iron and steel ant manufactures thereof and sell to foreigners such wares in competition with all the world, and much cheaper than the same goods are sold At home, and here- in the blessed tariff is a benefaction to the foreigner and a hardship to the American consumer.
 The constitution of the United States confers on congress the power to Hay anu collect tariff duties; but more than 9O per cent of the duties laid in the iron and steel schedule of the Dingley lav are collected by the manufacturers of iron and steel. They are paid by the people all right. but the money never reaches the treasury. One great iron master Is reputed to have an income of s1 .000 a month-this Is taxes laid" in the Dingqey law, not for the public treasury, but for the private coffers of Andrew Carnegie, who is one of the larg- est tax collectors in the world, and sec or 1 only to the government of the United States in this hemisphere. If his name were Bill Jones, he would be just as rIcl with the privileges he enjoys to tax some s0.O0OOO0 of his fellow citizens for his private gain.
 John Dalzell is one of the very able men in Congress. He is a lawyer of first rate capacity, a student with vast ac-
