Mr.. johnson Willing to Give WelI-Writ-
ten Note of Hand.

The financial prospects of Mr.. Wash
ington Lafayette Johnson were decid-
edly clouded, but he still preserved a
sanguine spirit, which his friends did
not always appreciate.
I'D like to borrow jes' a little
money OBJ you," said Mr.. Johnson, con-
fidentially, to friend. "I-I wouldn't
ak you fo' it, but I ain got single
cent left in de worr."
What security can you glib me?"
asked his friend, without any enthusi-
asm.
"Why, glib you my note OBJ hand!"
and Mr.. Johnson looked panied and
amazed at such question. 81 reckon

The man with the dark mustache
groaned painfully; the other merely
shock his head in silent agreement.
They were decently clothed, but OBJ
viously depressed in spirits. There
was that in their detected attitude
which told of disaster, and the way in
which the bigger mans hands fidgeted
in his pockets plainly indicated their
emptiness.
Between sunlit but silent fields the
level white road on which they stood
stretched away two miles ahead, where
its perspective vanished in point.
What luck!" muttered the dark
man for the twentieth time.
"oh, dry up, dol" snapped his COM
panion. Whats the good Of keeping
on like that?"
THE chance Of lifetime!" went on
the other in the monotonous tone Of
one rejecting on lost opportunities.
ITO think that we are the only two

his tone to one of ridicule. Nice sort

The dark man took no notice what
ever of this outpurst

ing the finish. Velveteen, by ten
lengths! Was there ever such
luck?" he pondered.
The other turned away with a short
exclamation of annoyance, went to the
side of the road and sat down mood
lily. The dark mans lips moved. He
was making calculations. Presently he
looked up; his expression changed; he
listened.
A soft hum rose on the air-very
faint, very distant-rose and fell
again. For a few moments the dark
mans eyes searched the horizon where
the road seemed to end. Then he gave
a start as black speck showed where
earth and sky touched. The hum be-
came a rhythmic throb.
by jingo, yes, I'll do it," he said,
under his breath. He turned to the
other man. Quick, quick!" he cried.
Behind the hedge!"
The little man jumped up suddenly.
"Watchermean?" he asked anxiously.
Before he was aware of it the dark
man had him by the arm and was pull
ing him through a gap in the hedge.
Down. he admonished, dropping to
a crouching attitude.
The motorist looked along mile
and half of deserted road.

LETS CAT OUT OF BAG.
German Manufacturers to Flood
America With Goods il Bryan
Chor1d bo E1oo%ad


The following cablegram to the New
York Sun under date of Oct. 8 shows
what German manufacturers expect to
do should Bryan be elected:
Berlin. Oct. 3.-The gladiatorial
fight between President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan has suddenly aroused Ger
man interest in the American Presi-
Dental campaign and columns are now
devoted to extracts from the mammoth
campaign documents of the combatants.
German hopes of Democratic uict0ry
haze been renircd and many merchants
and manufacturers hare sudden7y
gro1cn optimistic about a rerision of the
tariff 1chich arW enable them to flood
America tciM their goods"
The German manufacturers evidently
are shrewd observers. If Mr.. Bryan
should be elected and his downward
revision doctrine With ultimate free
trade be carried into effect we would
soon be flooded with German-made
goods Of every description. and our fac
tories could go out of business.
Protective Tariff Theory.
On the other hand, should Mr.. Taft
be elected our friends the German man
ufacturers would not be able to break
through the wall of protection which
would be maintained for the benefit of
American labor.
The protective-tariff theory as de-
fined in the Republican platform. and
as adhered to by Mr.. Taft, is that in
order to maintain high wages in this
country there must be "the imposition
Of such duties as will equal the differ
ence between the cost of production at
home and abroad, together with a rea-
sonable profit to American INDUSTRIES
Mr.. Taft points out that the cost of pro-
duction is determined chiefly by these
three elements: "The cost Of material.
the cost Of labor and the interest on
capital. or what is known as the manu-
fa%cturer's profit"
"The normal operation Of protection,
where competition has free scope.' Mr..
Taft asserts, sis to lower the cost Of
producing and so to reduce prices to
the public. AS a consequence. after ten
years operation Of a particular sched-
ule, it ought to result that the cost of
production in this country is made less,
and therefore that the difference be-
tween the cost of production in this
country and abroad is less, and there
fore that the duty ought to be reduced"

cause be is the broadest and the most
unselfshly brave man 1 know, and be-
cause he will carry the spirit Of the con.
stitution Of the United States in his
very blood" These seem to be excellent
reasons also for sending Taft to the
White House. The American people
will undoubtedly show on November 2
that they have come to that conclusion.

The function Of the next administra-
ton is not to be spectacular in the en-
actment Of great statutes laying down
new codes of morals or asserting a new
standard Of business integrity, but its
work lies in the details Of furnishing

the executive in making the supervision
Of the transactions COT corporations) SO
close, so careful, SO constant. that the
business men engaged in it may know
promptly when they are transgressing
the line of lawful business limitations,

and defiant, and promptly restrained
and penalized.-Judge Taft, at st.
