London Generally Heavy.

The London stock market was generally
heavy, although the quotations for Ameri-
can stocks showed only small and irregu-
lar changes and little was done here for
foreign account
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the country S
trade were indecisive exhibits. Fore
casts of the bank statement suggested
such comparatively negative showinss as
have been made for the past few weeks.
Nearly all of the more active railway
shares showed at one time or another de-
clines in the neighborhood of l per cent
and there were few exceptions to the
common drift of prices. Some attention
was excited by the unusual activity and
the quite pronounced strength of Union
Pacific preferred The common stock
moved, however. in line with the general
market and the dealings at large pre-
scented no features of particular interest.

ture being the purchase of 1900 bales

WILL SUPPORT BRYAN.

The Record has determined to support the
candidates of the Democratic party. There
is drifl in both parties away from safe con.
stitutional moorings. But on immediate
and vital issues that divide the political
opinion of the nation the Democratic party
is most firmly rooted in the faith of the
fathers. Putting aside all lesser matters Of
controversy, the sharpest line OF contest at
the present time is upon the question of
taxation; whether the necessary burden of
government shall be 80 distributed as to
bear in just proportion upon the whole body
of taxpayers and as lightly as possible upon
all, or whether taxes be so laid % 10 build
up favored interests at the expense OF Others
not 80 favored. Upon a pernicious policy
of favoritism, TO which since the ending Of
the Civil War the Republican party has
committed Itself, great injuslices and In
CAPABILITIES have besn bnilded. The country
is al the mercy of combinations and mo-
nopolies. which are the creatures and Of

Which Il the Nobler Hero2

EditOr Sentinel 1t has been heralded
throughout the country, In praise OF the
proves of Mr.. Taft, the Republican candi-
date for the Presidency, that he thought
nothing OF riding horse thirty or forty
miles on a stretch over the mountains and
through the jungles Of the Philippine Is.
lands. 1t is related, with exquisite humor,
that after such ride Mr.. TAFT sent cable
gram TO Mr.. Root, at Washington, telling
how well be felt upon his return from the
strenuous trip, and that Mr.. Root cabled the
inquiry, "How is the horse ?"
This incident has already been brought
forward as campaign card in favor Of Mr..
Tafts election.
AS the subject has been thus far neglected
by the political poets of the Taft literary
bureau, beg indulgence for the following
unpretentious lines:
Their hero is a statesman who ia big anC
broad and fat;
Upon patient horses back for forty miles
he Sat.
His friends are quite delighted by Big Bill'i
brilliant feat
"Hail to the noble Chief" they cry. "OuI
hero cant be beat"
My hero is the weary beast that carried such
q load
Three hundred pounds, or thereabou ts,
DER forty miles of road,
Through jungles dense and mountains wild
beneath the tropic sun.
Let others praise the fat hero-I'll champion
the other one.

WALL STREET AND TAFT.

The Wall Street bankers are evidently
going to put up record breaking campaign
fund for that great and good man TAFT, al.
though he would rather they would not be
public about it. Isaac Seligman said just
before leaving for trip to Europe that pros
perity will follow the election, IL Mr.. TAN
Is President He believed that american
politics will see the greatest victory for the
Republican party that it ever has known"
Of course, this great Republican victory,
II 1t materializes, will be followed by a still
greater prosperity for the Wall Street inter.
ests, or they would not be 80 enthusiastic
about it. No wonder the Republican lead
ers refused to allow the publicity bill to
pass the Senate and refused to endorse pub
licity OF campaign contributions in their
national platform.

TARIFF AND WAGE FARMERS

The Republican party would appear TO be
very solicitous about the wage earners OF the
country and especially declares In the ma
tional platform, just adopted, Its purpose ITO
maintain the high standard OF living Of the
wage earners OF this country who are the
most direct beneflclaries of the protective
system" That sounds we'll, but can hardly
deceive the average workIngman, who from
experience knows that II he is 'sthe most
direct beneficiary Of the protective system"
the sooner that system Is reformed the better
1t will be for him. There lie no doubt that
the tariff protects the manufacturers and
that 1t has iostered trusts and created mo.
nopoles. We also have evidence that the
tariff has had hand In creating the panic
and the resulting business depression.
Senator Foraker has just declared In a
speech 10 the members Of the Cincinnati
Chamber Of Commerce that "there is still a
cloud hanging over the business OF the coun-
try that cannot be removed by the resolu
tIons OF Sunshine Club" and that the fear
of tariff reform makes business generally
uneasy. There are also good many un.
easy worklngmen, for Senator Foraker said
that on July 81, 1907, there was work for
10000 more men In Cincinnati than there
were workmen to do II, but the mercantile
agencies Of Cincinnati now informed him
shat there are to-day In Cincinnati from
10000 10 $4,000 idle artlsans--men who
work at trades, skilled labor. and the high.
est classes Of labor, 80 to speak,"
This acknowledgment by such an emf
nent Republican leader that the wage earn.
ers are hunting job instead OF the job
hunting them, hardly shows that they "are
the most direct benedcIaries of the protec.
tive system" II they are 1t shows that the
protective system is delusion as far al
wage earners are concerned.
We hear from Pittsburg, the head cente
Of the protective system, that the employs
Of the Steel Trust are compelled TO sell thei
small holdings In that corporation, which
does not add to the truth OF the Republican
declaration that those workingmen are th,
direct benefciaries of the protective system
for the Steel Trust Is very highly protected
by the tariff.
Then the National Glass Budget, OF Pitts
burg, Of June 81, reports disastrous stat
OF affairs for the window glass workers
which Is one Of the highest tariff-protectet
industries in which the workers should b,
the "most direct benefciaries of the pro
tective system" But tappears they are not
for the Budget reports that when wages arr
figured strictly on the sliding scale, unde
which agreement the factories and thei
workmen have been working, that it "won'
net them an average Of 81 day for thel
labor"
The Republican boast that the protective
system produces prosperity to the working
man is thus shown to be merely bait TO catcl
suckers.

RECORDED HISTORY CONTRA
DTTTED

An alert suburban scribe, writing from
Rockville under recent date, has senten.
tlously informed the readers OF the metro.
politan press that the nomination OF William
j. Bryan by the late Democratic National
Convention did not arouse much enthusiasm
among the Democrats of this county; that
the county went against Bryan eight years
ago, and that, in this regard, history will prob
ably repeat itself at the election next No
vember.
The only serious fault to be found with
this little piece of Illuminating informal ion
is that the single statement In 1t which pur.
ports to be fact is merely reckless and
stupid libel upon the official election returns
from this county in the presidential election
held eight years ago. The official record
shows that William J. Bryan carried Mont.
gomery county at that election by majority
of 1874. He also carried the county in 1896.
He will carry II in 1908, and his nomination
has aroused sufficient enthusiasm, coupled
with other significant indications, to justify
peat itself, as the rural scribbler 80 classic.
ally and originally predicts. by recording a
third endorsement of Mr.. Bryan by the
voters of Montgomery county-this time by
a majority much larger than he has ever
received before.
Every well-regulateds suburban correspond
ent should keep track Of important election
returns in his own particular bailiwick and
try to get his facts on straight. II he can.
not recolect the general results Of presiden.
tial elections in his immediate field Of op.
erations, he should keep memorandum oil
them; otherwise his sage and philosophical
observations about history repeating itself
are liable to betray fatal instability in their
fundamental elements and a corresponding
structural nsufficiency in their terminal
facilities Tor something yet more serious than
that, as so conspicuously exempliied In
the sage and sentent correspondence herein

DEMoORATYO SUCCESS AssURED

DEMOCRA TIC SUCCESS ASSURED.
Through Its president, Samuel Gompers,
the American Federation of Labor has en-
dorsed the platform and candidates of the
Democratic party in the present national
campaign and has publicly pledged to
Mr.. Bryan its hearty support in November
The organization represents upward of two
million voters scattered throughout the
country, and can easily swing the result of
the election one way or the other. II has
never before declared for any particular
candidate In presidential contest, leaving
its members TO their individual choice in
the selection of candidates. About two
years ago the federation took q new depar.
ture, and decided TO support men and mea-
sures most favorable to the interests of the
organization and its members. 1t has been
shabbily and unjustly treated by the Repub-
lican party, both in Congress and at the
late Chicago convention. II has been hon.
estIy and justly dealt with in the Democratic
platform, and In return will throw it's voting
strength TO that party. Should nothing
happen between now and the election to
seriously divide this vote, Bryan will be
elected by an overwhelming majority and
4 Democratic House of Representatives with
him. His chances were excellent even
without the formal endorsement OF the
American Federation of Labor 9Th the
voles of that organization at his back bis
lection lie practically assured. !
