! started his speech, it was admitted by
even its bitterest opponents that the
bill would pass and the Republican SEN
ators were gathering in the chamber for
the final vote that would make the
South vassal OF the North.
After the force bill was killed, the
whole South rang with praises OF Gray,
and the hope was expressed that the day
would come when the grateful people
south Of Mason and Dixon's line might
show their appreciation OF his services
in some substantial manner Now, Judge
Gray's friends say, that golden oppor-
tunity has come.
During his fourteen years in the Sem
ate, Gray took leading part in all the
discussions Of important public ques
tions, and from the start to the finish OF
his service there he never lost an oppor-
tunity Of attacking the existing tariff
laws. He claimed then and still asserts
that our tariff wall confers special priv.
ileges upon small class of beneticaries
aud fosters monopolies. His friends, the
farmers, Judge Gray says, are the chief
sufferers by the tariff as 1t is now writ
ten upon the books, for they must en-
dure all the hardships and exactions
forced by the law, but receive none of
the benefits enjoyed by the more fortu
nate classes OF citizens. Here arc few
thoughts that Gray has contributed to
the tariff discussion

The Shakespeare Bacon controversy
is right where it began many years
ago. The man from Stratford is still
In possession, though there are many
learned men who seriously question
his rights. 1t has not been proved that
Bacon wrote the plays or that Shake
speare did not write them. One thing
the controversy has done. however-it
has immeasurably heightened the mys.
terry of the fact. If it is a fact, that the

take out dollar there, not for the pur-
pose OF putting it into the treasury of
the nation, but to transfer it to the poe.
ket of another?
THE poison of the system of tariff
protection has got into the very blood
iof the American people.
1T is not right and you cannot de-
fend it upon any ground Of fairness and
justice between man and man"
Here are few more Gray thoughts
on vital problems:
The trusts-"By the provisions of our
monstrous tariff, the government has be-
come q partner in these combinse. 1t
stands guard while the individual mem
bers OF the partnership work their de-
signs and carry out their purposes"
Labor upions--"unless my judgment
is at fault and my faith unfounded, labor
unions will soon have passed through
their period OF trial and tlibulation, and
will emerge on bright and sunlit plain.
where true American character, the fruit
of the American individual liberty that
had its birth on the day we celebrate,
will illustrate the WORTH Of our institu-
tons, and make perpetual for us and
our posterity the blessings Of civil and
religious liberty"
Contradictions cannot sympathize
with those whose constant endeavor
seems TO be not only to minimize the
rights OF the states, but to obscure their
true relation to the federal government,
No one now doubts that this union
Of ours is an indiossolube union and no
more should there be doubt that it is
a union of indestructible states
Liberty without law is anarchy, but
law without liberty is despotism."
Il see no necessity to expand the pow.
ers Of the central government. They are
large enough"
Judge Gray makes no bones of saying
that he IL opposed to the retention of
the Philippines and is anxious to give
the islanders their independence as soon
as they can manage themselves. He is
for the fullest measure Of religious lib
erty, stands for free press, the exclu-
sion of the Chinese, and reciprocity be-
tween the United States and the powers
OF the world; and is against ship subsi-
dies and all other kinds OF subsidies,
first, last and all the time.

Says Laboring Man Asked The Republi-
cans For Bread, They Gave Him Stone.
Washington. June 29.--Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, has issued another state
ment assailing the labor plank of the
Republican platform. He says that the
laboring man asked the Republican
party for bread and it gave them a
stone. Mr.. Gompers continues:
We ask no immunity for any one
guilty of wrongdoing, whether they be
workmen or others, but we must insist
upon the constitutional guarantee of
equality before the law. We will be
satisfied with nothing less.
The decision Of the supreme court
in the Danbury hatters' case declared
the labor organizations trusts, when as
a matter Of fact labor organizations are
voluntary in character and formed for
the purpose of protecting and advanc-
ing personal rights. The labor organi.
cations deal in no product, whether of
the hand or of the land; they are simply
associations to protect aud advance the
interests of men aud women who aim
to conserve their personal rights, their
personal freedom. The trusts are COM
binations of men dealing with products
of labor.

ing the labor working people without
affecting their personalities, their bodies
their minds, their very souls. We asked
tie Republican convention to decusre
in essence for the enactment of law
granting human rights and human free
dom, and it wholly failed to meet the
requirements Of an intolerable, an I'M
Just and un-American situation.

It is a queer primary law under which Republic
who have an overwhelming majority IN .
state-cannot elect the man they nominate. G. A.
johnson was the Republican selection for governor
last June. His primary vote exceeded that OF
both dis Republican competitor and that OF the
Democratic candidate-by 5000 In the election
four or five months afterward--Johnson received
several tnousand less votes than the Democratic
memberships the fact, that he secured $4,000
an the primaries to $1,000 for Burke The Repub-
Leans evidently don't trust themselves to- elect the
man they designate.
The claim IS made that c. A. johnson was de-
feated because of his endorsement by Alex Nc
Kenzie. There were several other candidates on
tho ticket with the same endorsement. They pulled
through That should refute that idea. Alex Nc
Kenzie could not have cast the $4,000 votes fot
johnson himself-and no man would stuitify
himself as to make the statement that Alex Nc
Kennels influence was SO great in June that he.
could make $4,000 people vote for whom he pleas
ed-ands so weak inNovember that he could not get
far less number of votes to endorse the same
man he had made them endorse in June. The
idea is ridiculous.
1t was claimed in the campaign against NJ N.
Johnson that he should be defeated because he
was endorsed by Alex Mckenzie. If McKenzies
endorsement Of G. A. Johnson was such blight
ing influence, why did it help NJ N Johnson to
win?--Park River Republican.
