The ParIor Socialist.

I think this class is, for the time, on
the increase, but l am glad to think
that among educated men the class is
only that of faddists and will fade
away as the Millerites did The spec
tacIe of men who enjoy all the luxuries
of life, with trained servants and cost
1y esta blishments of all kinds, declaim-
ing against the social order and the In
justice done to the poor and suffering
in the community Is not enc to attract
the sympathy of sensible men. The
truth is that an argument In favor of
a first cause, or a divine plan of the
universe, finds no better or stronger il
lustration than in the progress Of the
world under the impulse of men to-
ward personal freedom and the right
of property. The right Of property has
played quite as important a part In the
development of the human race as the
right of personal liberty. Indeed, the
two rights are so associated in the
struggle which man has had to make
in taking himself out of the category
Of the lower animals and lifting him
self to his present material and spirit
ual elevation that. it is hard to separate
them in a historical discussion.-Wil-
liam Howard Taft.

WEDNESDAY was gala day in Gin
cinnati, the occasion being the visit OF
the committee to notify William H.
Taft of his nomination for the presi-
dency by the Republican party. The
people OF that city made it non-par-
tisan affair, and all united to do honor
to their distinguished fellow citizen.
AS was predicted Mr.. Taft's speech
was of considerable length, setting
forth in an exhaustive manner the
principles and pledges of the Republic
can platform and the fallacieS of the
Democratic declaration of principles.
The points treated may be summarized
as follows Pledges to maintain the
Roosevelt policy, reaflirms doctrine OF
protection, uphold the courts or en-
brace anarchy, Republican platform a
progressive policy, Democratic plat
form policy of destruction, piling up
OF capital not a violation Of trust laws,
combination of capital necessary and
advantageous in many instances, Dem
ocratic proposition to abolish tariff on
trust goods means ruins OF these indus
tries, necessity of some tariff revision
is admitted, conditional physical val
uation Of railways indorsed, federal
of trusts and interstate
concerns approved, jury trial for CON
tempt cases will impair effectiveness
of laws, labor shall not willfully injure
any mans business, injunctions grant,
ed without hearing sometimes neces-
sary, Philippine independence means
chaos, publicity for all campaign ex-
penses and contributions approved,
Democratic plan Of compulsory guam
antee of bank deposits means ruin of
of banking system.

Muck Rakers.

Just as present we have been pass
ing through siege of attacks upon
our social and political systems by gen
tlemen whom President Roosevelt has
properly denominated "the men with
the muck rake" Either in order that
they may sell their articles or in order
that for political purposes they may
stir spirit Of unrest they exaggerate
the abuses thought to exist In political
and business life and give distorted
and therefore a false view of actual
conditions. They attribute corrupt
motives without proof, and by dwell
ing on instances Of evil they destroy,
or they seek to destroy. the sense of
proportion of their hearers. and read
ers in q general condemnation of So
ciety at large. There never was time
In the history of the world when there
was more virtue, more charity, more
sense of brotherly affection than there
Is today. Could anything be more in
spring than the bounteous outlying
of money, provisions and labor for the
benefit Of our fellow men which was
evoked by the disaster in California p

THERE are 1,218 election districts in
New Jersey and forty-four Of these
have repudiated voting machines.
These forty-four voting districts in
clude wards in a score OF small mu-
inequalities. The opposition seems to
have emanated from Democratic
ward workers and the special cleo
lions had no interest for the voters.
A small minority carried each place
that went against the use of the ma
chimes. The Paterson " Press says
" The enemies of the voting machine
are winning easy victories all over New
jersey by default of the people who
believe in it. When Calico, the great
astronomer, who tisEb announced the
discovery of the revolution Of the earth
and the stability of the sun, was COM
PEELED to publicly abjure that belief,
he exclaimed under his breath e pur

who deny that the voting machine is a
great agency for the publication of
elections will be compelled to echo the
saying of Calico, and admit that the
world does move, for all that, >"

THE BALANCE. OF TRADE.
Largest Ever Recorded Despite un-
favorable. Conditions.

IdNoEa0H0~ Noft0lbtOHSs
The completed figures of our foreign
trade for the fiscal year 19O7-S show
the largest balance in our favor ever
recorded. That balance is $666, 457, 1903.
which exceeds by $2,00O,O00, the, phe-
nomenal margin of the fiscal year
1900-1. 1t lisa striking evidence of the
general soundness' of financial and In
dustrial conditions in this country that
In panic year we could maintain
our exports at top pressure and roll up
an unprecedented credit abroad, while.
retrenching in our imports and exer-
omies. The rush of our products
abroad in November, December, jan
uary and February made it easy to
draw on Europe for gold supplies to
end the currency famine and that evil
dence of our strength as a producing
and exporting nation. together with
the amplitude of the resources at the
treasury's command, quickly dispelled
the fears caused by the hurried liqui-
dalton forced last year on certain in
terests which had overextended them
selves in speculation.
We were in no such fortunate condi-
ton IN 1923, when industry and
commerce suffered a somewhat sim
liar reaction. In that year our ex-
ports fell off from $1,oS0,OoO,O00 to
$S47 100000, while our imports in
creased from $50, 0O0,o 900 to SS66,oOO-
000. A favorable balance of trade Of
500, 600, 900 was converted into bal
ance. against US of $18,O00,0O0. 1t was
not until 1867 that exports rose
again above the $1,000,O0o,OOO mark.
Now. however, exports have declined
only a trife from $1,8S0.O00,O00 to
s., 800, 100000, while imports have been
cut from $1,434, 100000 to 81, 1874 ,OOO,-
900. We retrenched heroically and
successfully this time and in six
months have recovered fairly we'll
from the effects Of the October panic.
Foreign trade will not remain at a
standstill, as 1t did for four years after
1928. There are indications already
that the check of the October panic
has been overcome and that the new
year will show a development In har.
mony with that Of the long array Of
prosperous years since 1897.

THE POsToFFICEs OF THE
COUNTRY.

There are in the United States over
sixty thousand postotfices with 240, 900
employees. All supplies are sent from
Washington, and they cost Uncle Sam
the tidy sum of S1,71S,O60 this year,
and range from tags to tacks, file cases
to fans. wheelbarrowS, paints, leather
wire, lamps and conglomeration Of
other miscellaneous articles such as
would be handled by a large general
department store.
For instance, the department. pur-
chases nearly 100000 pens each year,
while 1864 pencils of every de-
scription are expected to meet the
demands of the postal service for the
coming year. If these pencils were
laid end to end they would reach a
distance of $50 miles, but it would be
impossible to estimate the number of
times these pencils would be placed
to the users lips in an endeavor to
collect thoughts, thereby hardening
the lead and tending to shorten their
official lives. Uncle Sam will not
" stretch point" but his employees
frequently do, for there is an estimat-
ed requirement Of 1000 pounds Of
rubber bands for this year.
Five hundred typewriters and IA,
220 ribbons will meet the demands of
official typists, the department thinks.
and 100000 wire clips and $4,000
fasteners will hold official papers in
place until $4,000 pounds of sealing
wax can be affixed. Writing is avoid
ed wherever possible by the use Of
rubber stamps, and 1000 dozen stamp
pads will probably be worn out during
the next year.

THE latest proposition in relation to
the work of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee is that two
Offices be opened with a vice-chair-
man in charge of each and that Con-
gresham VIM. B. Mckinley be moved
up from treasurer to chairman. Con-
gresham James A. Tawney, of Min
nesota will have charge of the
Chicago headquarters and Congress-
man Loudenslager of New Jersey, wi !
have charge Of the New York office.

vision, moving from one place to the
other as occasion demands. This ar
rangement will made a new secre-
tary and a new treasurer necessary
but it will retain the experienced
members of the staff.

A PLUTocRATlc FEE.
1t Costs a Hundred Dollars to Join
Bryan's Honor Roll.

It Costs Hundred Dollars to Join
Bryan's Honor Roll.
Mr.. Bryan has always prided himself
on setting his face against class dis
tinctions and distinctions based on dis
PARTIES of wealth and income. He has
been a consistent advocate of the dollar
political dinner and on many Of his
visits to this city has stipulated that
he should break bread at truly demo-
cratic feast leaving Lucullan Demo
cratic club banquets at $40 plate to
''reactionaries" who had more or less
lost touch with primitive Jeffersonian
simplicity. His soul would probably
have revolted at the $500 plate big
Tim" Sullivan dinner last winter,
which many of our stanchest Jeffer-
sonians hereabouts attended with
gusto.
Why, then, do Mr.. Bryan and his adj
visers, in their plan for the publication
of an "honor rolf of subscribers to the
promotion of the Democratic cause and
his own candidacy, establish such a
plutocratic entrance fee as 500? The
patriot who gives $500 to. the Demo
cratic campaign fund of 1908 is to find
his name properly blazoned in the
newspapers. But the poorer brother
who can give only $40 or 81 is to be de-
prived of all the outward credit and
inward satisfaction of such publicity.
We cannot find any logical basis for
discriminating between the larger and
the smaller subscribers. If each gives
according to his means the reward
should be equal. Jeffersonianism GER
tainly took a day off at Lincoln when
It was decided to exalt the greater
giver and ignore the lesser. Is Mr.. Bry-
an going to create classes and orders
of merit within the Democratic party,
dividing the elect 500 givers from the
common herd of 500 and under con-
tributors New York Tribune.

department of the National Civic
Federation, and has entered upon his
duties at headquarters in New York.
The appointment is unquestionably a
good one, for no man at the head of Or

for the post, which requires fair
minded intelligent man familiar from
practical experience with the rights of
labor, and of capital as well.

THE way such a big man as Judge
Taft scampers about the world is
something remarkable. We read OF
his being in one place yesterday and
many hundred miles away to-day. Peo-
pie had hardly got through perusing
his speech at Cincinnati when they
heard that he was playing golf and
having a good time at the Virginia
Hot Springs. But wherever he goes
he takes his campaign and his bust
ness with him, and scatters sunshine
and good humor everywhere.

LABOR AND DEMAGoGY.
Trades Union Vote Can't Be DELIVERED
to the Democrats.

| Trades Union Vote Can't Be Delivered
to the Democrats.
When General Jackson was presi-
dent an attempt was made to gather
into one political party everybody who
was not a member of the order of
Free and Accepted Masons. 1t failed,
carrying but one state of the Union
When Franklin Pierce was president
it was sought to gather into one polit-
zeal party everybody not of foreign
birth and not Roman Catholic in re-
ligious faith. 1t failed, carrying but
one state for president. When Gen
eral Grant was president it was I'M
dertaken to put every farmer in the
Union into one political party 1t was
then taught that nothing was patriotic
but labor and nothing was labor that
did not delve in the SOIL Out west it
was called 'the granger movement"
Down south it went under the name
of "the Farmers Alliance" 1t failed,
as it deserved to fail, as every sort of
class politics inevitably fails in free
country with an intelligent and pa
triotic citizenship.
And now it is proposed to gather
organized labor into one solid mass
and offer it's votes to the political par
ty that bids highest in promises of
special privilege. The Sixtieth con-
gress refused to offer legislation for
that vote. So did the Republican con-
ventfon at Chicago in June, but the
Democratic convention at Denver in
July made high bid, and it was de-
clared that the trade had been con-
summated and that in consideration
for the Democratic plank regarding
injunctions organized labor would re-
enforce the Democracy with some mil
lion or so of votes.
But discordant voice comes from
Chicago where certain labor organiza-
lions have rebelled and are i'll man
nered enough to say that they do not
intend to be included in any bargain
and sale of the labor vote.
Labor's only safety is precise, exact
equality before the law with capital
Labor's safety is the turning of it's
back ON all demagogues.- Washington

THE Prohibitionists' plan to raise
campaign funds is novel, in that it
will to certain extent tell where they
are at before the votes are counted.
Eugene w. Chain, the candidate for
President, proposed the plan, which
has been adopted by the National Com
miUtee, and it provides that an ad-
mission fee of 25 cents apiece shall be
exacted from those who wish to hear
Prohibition spellbinders. The faithful
and their sympathizers will no doubt
put up the price, and in this way a
record of the probable vote for the
national ticket may. be estimated.
There will be no predatory" funds in
