conversation.

quired Mr.. Flint.
Yes, the book takes well. sold ten

days"
Walter pricked up his ears. He won
dered whether the book was the one rec
commended to him. II so, a sale Of ten
copies would enable the agent to realize
twelve dollars and half which was GER
tainly doing very well.
Just as the agents were going out, Mr.
Pusher hustled in. His sharp eyes fell
upon Walter, whom he Immediately rec
oEnized.
'Ha, my young friend, 30 you have
found us out" he said, Offering his hand.
Yes, sir"
Come to talk on business, / HOPPER
Yes, sir, that is my object in coming"
"Mr. Flint" said Mr.. Pusher, this Is
a young friend whose acquaintance I
made a short time since. / told him, IL
here, and we would give him something
to do
Mr.. Flint, who was a slowsr and a
more cautious man than Mr.. Pusher, re-
gsrdod Walter a little dsubtfully.

Certainly 1 do"
HE seems very young"
That's true, but age isn't always an
advantage. He looks smart, and I'll guar

who was accustomed to defer considerably
to his more impetuous partner. What's
the young mans name?"
MY name is Walter Conrad" said our
hero.
VERY good. Well, Conrad" contin-
ued Mr.. Pusher, In an eH-hand manner,
what are your wishesf What book do

Walter.

'In that case you could map out your
own route pretty much. We haven't got

Middle and New England States"
"In other words, we can give you

In Mr.. Pusher.
THAT would suit me, sir" said Walter.
"Still 1t would be best not to attempt
to cover too much territory. A rolling

to begin with. Have you got any money!
Yes, sir, I have City dollars"
Good. OF course, you will need money

"Of course. You're a green hand. Sit
down here, and I'll make 1t all plain to

So Mr.. Pusher, in his brief, incisive
way, explained to Walter how he must
manage. His instructions were readily
compromised, and Walter. as he listened,
felt eager to enter upon the adventurous
career which he had chosen.

here Monday, with Judge John O..
Wilson on the bench.
While the docket is considerably

be that of Cal Stoudemire and George

Jail charged with the shooting of Mr..
John Buckley and the attempted as

REAL TARIFF o
The Entire American People Now
want to Be Shown"

Mr.. Bryan asks: How will Mr..
Taft explain to the average mar the
benefits of projections" and adds; HE
can easily convince a trust that it
profits by the tariff, but what about
the victim of the trust?"
On this entire tariff question the
great American nation is now all
from Missouri, and must be shown"
High tariffs were placed by the Re
publicans upon a large number of
manufactured articles with two de-
clared objects, first, to protect the
American manufacturer, that is to
say, to keep him from being ~undersold
in the domestic markets. by foreign
manufacturers who use cheap labor
or slave labor; second, to deprive
the American manufacturer of the
slightest shadow of an excuse for
using cheap labor or slave labor, and
to put him in a position to employ
steadily high-class American work
men, and pay them wages which would
enable them to live in comfort, feed
and clothe their families, and send
their children to school.
Profit sharing, not profit hogging,
was the first fundamental idea of high
tariff, and it was because the people
of this country were assured solemnly
they would share in the profits that
4 they voted into power the party of
the high tariff, or as the Republicans
c~leverly called it, with considerable
effect before they We're found out, "the
protective tariff" AS soon as high
tariff made them secure, the beneficial,
ries began to loot the American people
by charging artificial prices in the do.
nestle markets, that is to say, prices
not regulated by actual conditions Of
supply and demand, but by the undis.
puted nature of the vantage ground
held by the manufacturers. At the
same time they began to regulate"
wage scales in order to increase their
profits still more, with the result that
strikes, riots and other manifestations
of great discomfort make the history
Of protection read like a war record.
1t was the tendency of the wage to
diminish which gave organized labor
its strength. Many men who under
ordinary circumstances would never
have thought of joining any kind of
society or lodge, formed or joined
labor organisations, in order to secure
for themselves and their families that
real protection which political pro
lection" utterly failed to give. And in
their course of conduct they were
right; for the American home and the
American school must be protected.
The whole aim of the Democratic
party is to protect the American home
and the American school by securing
justice in taxation, and in order to Sc
cure justice in taxation there must be
Democratic tariff reform.

The Cash Gave Out.

Some idea of what it costs to boom

statement that it cost the American
Tariff club of Pittsburg $4,000 to pay
their expenses of the trip to Chicago
to boom Knox. On Wednesday morn
ing, June II, before the work of the
convention had really begun, that
amount of money was nearly exhaust
ed, with no more in sight, SO the club
managers decided to board their spe.
cial car and hike back to the protec.

where they arrived on Thursday morn.

their favorite son placed in nomina,

wherewith to create enthusiasm. Tar.
