THE REPUBLICAN TARIFF PLANK.

In it's issue of October 2, the Omaha
(Neb.) Bee, Republican paper, print
ed this editorial:
BRYAN'S TARIFF POLICY.
The Denver platform plank on the
tarin question is notable for its vague
ness, but Mr.. Bryan has come to the
rescue and made it all plain. In one
of his recent speeches on the tariff, he
said:
In all tariff legislation the true
principle is best maintained by the
imposition of such duties as will equal
the difference between the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad, together
with reasonable profit to American in
dustries."
Nothing prettier in the catch-all line
has been offered in this campaign. The
most hide-bound standpatter in the
country can accept that as satisfac-
tory and the rankest free-trader can
find delight in it. The declaration
means simply nothing. An attempt to
legislate along that line would simply
open the way to interminable wrang-
ling as to what constitutes "a reason
able profit" for hair-splitting on wages
on one industry, price of raw materials
in another, rebates and drawbacks in
a third and SO on through the list Of
thousands of articles that are now on
the tariff lists. Under such PROPOSE
ton, an attempt at tariff revision at
Bryan's direction would serve only to
halt industrial and commercial nrOP-
ress and keep business unsettled
during his term of office.
The Omaha World-Herald, in it's is
sue of October 3, shows the bad blum
der made by its Republican contem-
porary.
The paragraph which the Bee at
tributes to Mr.. Bryan was merely
quoted by Mr.. Bryan from the Repub-
lican platform.
The Republican plank is as follows:
I'm all tariff legislation the true
principle of protection is best main
tanned by the imposition of such du-
ties as will equal the difference be-
tween the cost of production at home
and abroad, together with a reason
able profit to American industries
Referring to the Bees blunder, the
World-Herald says: Now that it de-
velops that the blow is aimed, not at
the Democratic position, but at the Re-
publican position, is it's force any the
less? Does it not, in fact, become the
more potent and convincing?"

FOR
FALL CAMPAIGN
PoPuLIsT MEET IN CONVENTION
AT NASHVILLE AND NAME
ELECTORS.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, July 17.-Pop-
ulists Of Tennessee met in mass con-
yention Thursday in the Hall Of Rep
resentatives, and besides reorganiz-
ing the state Executive Committee
chose two electors from the State at
large and authorized the State Com
mittee TO choose electors representing
the Congressional districts. There
being no delegates present from the
First and Second Districts, the State
Executive Committee was empowered
to make selections of the committee
men to represent these districts.
The convention was not attended
by as large a number of delegates as
the leaders had hoped. only about 125
being present. In spite of the fact
that their numbers were small, the
of the Peoples party
showed considerable enthusiasm, and
inspired by the stirring words OF their
candidate for President, Thos. E. Wat
son Of Georgia, gave evidence that
they will do some hard work to ad-
vance the cause of Populism in the
State. The feature of the morning
session of the convention was an adj
dress by Mr. watson, whose appear
ance in the hall was the signal for
demonstration of enthusiasm, and
whose remarks were punctuated with
outbursts of applause. Especially did
the delegates cheer when Mr. Watson
proclaimed his intentions of carrying
on the fight even if the time should
come when he might be the only man
in the world willing to oppose the
dominant parties in the country.
The platform adopted by the con-
vention makes joyful mention of the
differences that exist in both Demo
cratic and Republican parties; and
the recent Republican Convention In
the Hall of Representatives when the
Oliver and Evans factions engaged in
2 pugilistic encounter, is declared
disgrace to the State. The recent
campaign between two Democratic
candidates for the Gubernatorial nom
ination is described as being merely
the clash between the ambitions OF
two politicians seeking Office, and the
issues that made up the fight are de-
clared to be irrelevant to the rear
things demaded by the times.

SHIPPERS RISE
UP IN PROTEST
WILL NOT TAmELY SUBMIT TO
AN INCREASE IN FREIGHT
RATES.

CHICAGO, July 17.-That the llii-
nois Manufacturers Association plans
To look after the shippers interests In
the proposed advance of freight rates
nv asking for an early joint confer
ence with the railroads interested, Is
the statement today of President Up
HON of that organization.
The protest is not directed particu-
larry against the general advance
which the roads in the East purpose
uniting into effect October l. but
against any action without eonsuita-
tion with the shippers, which seems
to be the present attitude of the roads,
according to the manufacturers. The
shippers also object to the piecemeai
policy Of advancing rates of which
they are beginning to see signs In dn-
ferent territory and on different COM
nIodities.
Outlining the methods to be pursued
nv the Illinois Manufacturers Asse-
citation if it comes to g fight, Mr.. Up
ham said an appeal probably would
be made to the courts to enjoin the
roads from putting the new rates
into effect unit the Interstate Com
merce Commission could have an OPP
portunity to pass on their reasonable
ness.
although | do not want to be I'M
derstood as speaking for the national
commission or to be fortell1ng what
1t will do said Mr.. Upham. i think
am safe in saying shippers are still
desiring to talk matters over with the
railroads. We want to know what all
the railroad leaders think about 1t.
Perhaps the Pennsylvania is not as
eager as the New York Central lines
to increase rates.
"Then, too, we have some peril
nent question to ask the railroad men.
For example, we would like to know
WHY it is. if the railroads are SO aw-
fully hard up, that the majority OF the
lines still are paying big dividends.
The dividend on the Baltimore and
Ohio, for instance, has just gone
through with whoop and this does
not look as though that road was hard
up for cash."
No date has as yet been suggested
for the joint conference between the
railroad chiefs and shippers.

Now Read This.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, July IL
Democrats of many Southern States
are writing to w. H. Taft declaring
their purpose to vote for him and de-
vote whatever may be in their power
to secure his election. Letters OF
this kind form one of the most inter-
esting features of Mi Tafts daily
increasing mail.
From Democrats in Maryland, Ken
lucky. Tennessee, North Carolina and
Georgia he has letters assuring him
that in the belief of the writers those
States will give their electoral votes
to the Republican ticket in the COM
ing election.
While Mr.. Taft reads the letters
with interest he receives informa-
ton that there is hope of carrying
Georgia with a feeling that on the
part of the writer the wish is father
to the thought. Intense feeling
against the policies of Hoke Smith in
that State is looked upon as the foun-
dation of the bitterness of Georgia
Democrats toward the election OF
Bryan, as they look upon Bryan and
Smith as representing the same
ideas.
From Maryland, especially, Mr..
Taft has a large number of advices
from Democrats that they expect to
see the State go Republican, and
that there will be many Democratic
votes to help carry it. Many of these
Democratic correspondents have de-
clared that the nomination OF Mr..
Bryan is doubly repugnant to them
because they believed his defeat In
two campaigns had disposed of him
as a candidate of the Democratic
party, and they believed there would
be new leader of the party to rep
resent what they regard as true De
mocracy.
Mr.. Taft's mail is constantly In
creasing, and this class of letters is
forming a considerable part of it.
While these expressions from South
ern Democrats are regarded as the
most interesting feature of the OPP
position to Mr. Bryan within his own
party there are many others from
Democrats in the North, Connecticut
being prominent in that respect.

DALLAS, Tex, July 18.-After a
heated and rather unique campaign,
the Democrats of Texas will on next
Saturday, at a primary election, vote
what is probably the longest ballot
ever used in the State. 1t includes
all elective public officers from Con-
stable to Governor, and also Presiden-
tial electors and party officers, and In
Texas a Democratic nomination is
equivalent to an election.
Gov. Campbell, who is candidate
for second term, Is opposed by X.

cause of Gov. Campbell's tax and anti
corporation policies. Williams was
comparatively unknown late In May
He is a blacksmith and Justice of the
Peace. and served one term in the
Legislature eight years ago. He has
made no speech; but has written let
tiers to the newspapers in which ne
denounced extravaganza in govern
ment and machine rule. Gov. Camp
bell has been on the stump for the

didate for a third term. His oppo'
nent. Richard NJ. Wynne, is support

BALLOONS AND

WASHINGTON, July 19,-"In the

column will be made up OF balloons
and airships.'
This is the belief freely expressed
by army and navy officers here. For
this particular reason, the army bal.
loon tests which are to begin at Fort
Meyer next week will receive much
attention in military circles. It is
understood that several of the mill.
tary attaches of the diplomatic corps
will be at Fort Meyer to take note
and report back to their respective
Governments.
One of the most important results
of the tests probably will be the es
tablishment of an aerostatic corps IN
the navy. Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Newberry will be one of the
interested spectators. He has been
following closely the progress made in
balooning, and has requested Cen
Allen. of the Signal Corps, to notify
him when the trials will take place
at For Meyer.
1t is understood that the American
