BRYAN HIMSELF AGAIN.
breaches Economic Adsurdities In
Same Old Way.

Mr. Bryan who started out very con-
servatively at the opening of the cam
paign, resolving evidently to get the
ness men who could not stand his
aforetime radicalism, has broken
through the traces and given up trying
to be good. His speech on the trusts
at Indianapolis puts him back in his
old position of advocating the destruc-
his views without regard to method or
consequences.
AS usual, he is not specific as to
what means should be employed to
carry out his designs. He simply in
general way wants to destroy the so
called trusts, both large and small, re-
gardless of the consequences to others
engaged in similar business or of the
consuming public. He tells us one day
that the American people should be al
lowed to purchase where they can buy
the cheapest, and another day he tells
us that the money from the pockets of
the people is flowing into the Golfers of
the trusts. If the latter be true it must
be because the people are buying
where they buy the cheapest, and if
the trust made goods are the cheapest
then they serve the consumer rather
than iniUre him.
MI Bryan simply does not know
what a trust is. MI Bryan does not
know how to handle financial prob
lens, industrial problems or even po-
litical problems. We have on our stat
ute books today laws providing for the
machinery to punish any illegitimate
business and to remedy any inequali-
ties or injustice. Mr. Bryan has not put
forth any views showing how to i'm
prove present methods.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
Many Important Measures Enacted by
the MajaRty.

The Fifty-ninth and SiXtieth con-
crosses Will 90 down i'll history as rec
ord breakers because Of the large num-
Der of important measures enacted,
measures having directly to do with
the great business interests of the
country and standing between the peo-
pie and corporate greed and oppres-
sion. The Fifty-ninth congress opened
new era in American legislation, Civ
ing emphasis to- the fact that the con-
Etitution is amply sufficient for all the
needs of the people, safeguarding their
interests and furnishing them ample
means of protection. The Fifty-ninth
congress was a Republican congress,
and all the great measures enacted by
it were Republican measures, original
ing with the Republicans and passed
by Republican votes.
There is still much to be done to per-
feet the work begun by the Fifty ninth
congress. Experience has demonstrat-
ed that a Democratic congress cannot
be depended upon to work ont any
great system Of reform. No reform

ever come about under Democratic
regime. AS at present construed the
Democratic party, is made up of too
many ismS to be safe in handling
great questions of political economy
Two great questions will soon come up
for legislatiOn-a revision of the tariff
and remodeling of our currency sys-
tenn. Twice since 1880 the Democrats
have attempted tariff legislation, and
twice the business of the country was
brought to the verge of ruin and hun
dreds of thousands of workingmen
We're thrown out of emp oyment
Twice within the last thirty years the
Democratic party has set up its stand
ard of monetary legislation. First it
declared in favor Of putting the print
ing presses to work in manufacturing
greenbacks without limit and. second,
by declaring for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to l. No evidence has been furnished
that the party has recanted from its
stand for fat money. Is it safe to
trust the party now?

FAIRNESS Of TAFT.
ScrupuIous In His Desire to Rem
der Exact Justice.
REVIEWS OF COURTS MARTIAL
Refused to Approve or Disapprove
Findings of Military Tribunals Until
He Had Carefully Read the Evil
dence-A Case In Point.

aSnCG-A Ease III Toii's'
When he was secretary of war Mr..
Taft never unreservedly trusted to the
Judgment of courts martial upon OF
Tending officers to determine his action
in approving or disappearing the find
ings of these military tribunals. He
was scrupulous in insisting that all
the evidence should be laid before him
to be passed upon and weighed by him
personally. No pressure of work could
be too severe or lack of time too evil
dent to prevent him from satisfying
himself that exact justice had been
done the accused. according to the evil
dence and the facts. One evening long
after the rest of the departments had
closed Mr.. Taft, at the end of an I'M
usually hard dav. took up bundle Of
papers relating to the case OF lieu
tenant who was sentenced to dis
missal. The chief of staff was there,
and he suggested, with view to saw
ing Mr. Taft work: II think that you
will not need to go deeper into the
case if you read the conclusion of the
judge advocates memorandum and
my memorandum The man is a bad
egg. The army will he better off with
out him"
No" said the secretary; 81 always
prefer to go through these cases my
self"
The officer had failed to pay his
debts. Carefully and slowly Mr.. Taft
read the evidence through to the end.
When he finished he looked up and ex-
claimed, But he lied about it, Rap
idly he dictated Il note TO be sent, with
the papers, TO the president and con-
tinued rs he laid them aside: HE
tried, as he admits, to lie out of it. l
think the sentence should be carried
out There might have been some eX-
cuse for the other thing, but there
could be none for the lie. 1t is time
to stop this tendency among the Off
GERS who get into trouble 1t must be
discouraged for the honor of the serv-
ice.
Il want to go over the rest of these
myself said he, indicating another
pile of court martial papers. 81 have
done that sort of thing all my life, and
I'd rather do it than take the judg
ment of some one else

DRY HARVEST in MAINE.

We have had beautiful harvest weather
thus far, and the farmers are getting
along with their harvesting finely. But
little blowing has been done as the soil is
very dry. We have had but small
amount Of rain since the last OF August.
AS a result the feed in the pastures IS
poor and the water supply IN pastures
and wells is very low; on many farms
has failed entirely, and people are maui
ing water from quite distance tor house
hold purposes.
Most of the potato crop has been har-
vested, and the report is one OF the lafg-
est and best crops ever raised here
They are smooth and fair, no rotten ones,
and but few small ones. We have
heard of several instances where the
Weld was from 400 to 44O bushels per
acre. They are being rushed to market,
as the prices are good and the farmers
think that it is better to haul them
directly from the field to the railroad
stations than to store them and have TO
handle them all over again.
In some orchards there are but few
apples, while in others there IS more
than an average crop. 1t is SAFE 10 say
that there will be an average crop IN TINS
section. The apples are large, well COZ
ored and of good shape, and ought to
command the highest market prices,
The corn crop was good. The bean
crop was damaged some by the grass.
hoppers, but what there are left are OF
excellent quality, and the grain crop was
very light, some not getting back the
seed sown. Many pieces were cut green
for fodder during the dry spell IN the
summer. The hay crop was also light,
and it looks now as though many will be
short of fodder before any more can be
raised. Bertha F. Hillman Of Troy IN

BRYAN AT TREASURY HELM.
How Would Business Men Regard
Secretary Chosen by Him?

How would the financial community
like to face panic under Bryan
secretary of the treasury? This ques-
ton goes to the heart of the degree of
confidence which could be placed in
Bryan administration. Even if we had
a new Bryan. sobered by the response
bility of his office. would business men
feel the assurance of prompt. energetic
and intelligent action to protect the
public faith and save the money mar
ket from disturbance which would be
looked for under a secretary of the
treasury named by Mr.. Taft? Business
men are likely to ponder this seriously
between now and November.
1t is not necessary to assume that
Mr. Bryan still fayors opening the
minis to the free coinage of silver to
raise a grave doubt as to his attitude
on all questions affecting the mainte-
nance of the financial fabric Of the
country. Up to the convention of 1904
he would not even agree to an express
sion of opinion that the silver question
had been sidetracked hy the great out
put of gold. and his present aSsocia-
tons and surroundings are such that
1t is doubtful if he couII make any sim
rere declaration which would go far to
establish confidence in his financial
sanity.-Boston Transcript.

BIG AND BROAD.
Methodists Indorse the Candi-
dacy Of William n. Taft.

CaCy OF 1siiilan n. art.
An unqualified approval of
), William II. Taft as Il presiden-
tial candidate was given by the
Rev. James Coote, d. D., pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church
in Thompsonyille. Conn. when
he called at the headquarters Of
the Republican national commit
tee. For years Dr. Coote has
taken a prominent part in Meth
odist circles in New England and
in New York, having been a
presiding elder and occupied
leading pulpits.
NO man has spoken so ear
nestly in favor of the great work
that Christian missions are do
ing in the Philippines, in China
and in the orient generally as
Mr. Taft said MI Coote. In
an address at Yale university he
emphasized that idea particular
~, and on several other occa-
sions he spoke enthusiastically
OF the good being done by ag-
gressiye Christian evangelicalism
in the different countries which
he visited. 1t seems to me that
no evangelical Christian should
hesitate to support Judge Taft.
He is just as big and broad in
his religious ideas rs he is in his
physical proportions. He can be
trusted to do what is fair and
right with all denomina lions.
Il am convinced that what
Judge Taft has said on religious
matters was not for political eff
feet. He has gone hither and
thither doing the work before
him. and at the same time his
keen observation and his sense
of fairness have led him repeat
eddy to give expression to his
appreciation of the work of
Christian missions everywhere.
In Thompsonville is one of
the largest carpet manufacture
ing plants in the world" con
tinued DR.. Coote During the
last Democratic administration
that establishment was COM
PEELED to close. and the thou
sands of employees were thrown
out of work. A very large pro-
portion of those had to leave the
town. My observation is that
the people in that section Of the
country remember that expert
ence and that they do not care
for another administration that
is likely to result, so disastrous
ly"

RESTORING CONFIDENCE.
Country Impressed With Utter
ances of Judge Taft.

z Judge Taft has steadily grown
, on the country since his nominal
Z ton. His judicial pose, his So
, briefly of utterance and his atti-
: tude of deep responsibility have
} all impressed the country. They
are what is wanted to give con-
fidence in a period of doubt and
depression.
S. NJ. FELTON,, president Of the
Mexican Central railroad. who
was one of Mr. Taft's visitors
last week. said in an interview:
in my Judgment the election Of
Mr.. Taft is of the utmost impor-
tance to railroad men as class,
because it means the restoration
OF confidence, which is necessary
before we can hope for perma-
nent revival Of business. The
; great trouble with the railroads
: has been their inability to raise
the necessary money with which
to carry on extensions and i'm
provements. To get this money
there must be confidence on the
part Of the investing public. and
this confidence will certainly be
secured by the election Of Judge
Taft"
The campaign has reached the
point where it is wise to make
the personality of Mr.. Taft
known and familiar over the
country. The campaign is marked
, by it's sober discussion and the
manifest movement of the great
current of public opinion toward
a conservative desire to see the
great issues now opening handled
with care. consideration and
judicial scrutiny.
Judge Taft is Il man of action,
combative and aggressive. He
appeals to the precise conditions
Of the campaign. He has the
qualities which draw men to
him in times like these The
speechnakirg campaign on which
he recently entered will not only
win votes by arousing public
interest. but it will add to the
strength Of the Republican party
in every doubtful state he visits
by showing the people a man
they can trust
