exceptions to cover such cases, and we
have learned that it is equally binding
as to what 1t omits."
II we could imagine such crude
prohibition to be enacted into law, and
to be regarded as valid, what would be
the effect? Mr.. Bryan, with his usual
readiness, suggests that the concern
may sell as much Of its plants as are
not needed to produce the amount al
lowed by law. He speaks as though
every manufacturing concern had as
many fully equipped units of produc-
ton as would correspond to any given
percentage of trade which II might be
required to lop off, Plants are not so
easily dismembered. Reduction In out
put means reduction in work, reduction
in the number Of men employed and
curtailment Of the efficiency Of a going
concern. Let us suppose a concern
which controls so per cent Of given
product-that is to say, makes and
sells $S,0OO,0O0 in value out of a total
trade in the product amounting to $10,-
100000. Is it to be compelled to reduce
its output to 100000 because only
100000 in value are made by others?
Then, If 1t could sell part Of its plant
on Mr.. Bryan's theory, what should it
sell? Should it sell off enough to re-
duce its capacity to $5,OOO,0OO, and
allow three-fifths Of Its plant to remain
idle until others developed capacity
for handling the other $5,0OO,OOO?
Should 1t assume that the total trade
will increase and Is not always to re-
main at 100000 and hence retain
a larger portion Of its plant In idle
ness?4 Or suppose a concern controls
100 per cent Of the trade in some arti-
Gle, what plants shall 1t retain? 1t
can produce nothing until others pro-
duce; but it may produce an amount
equal to the production Of others, and
1t hopes the trade will grow. What a
vision Of business uncertainty and con-
fusion, Of idle and impaired plants, of
the ruin of workingmen whose lives
have clustered around particular indus
tries and who depend upon their con-
tinued efficiency, is presented by this
fanciful remedy for the destruction of
trusts!
Apart from this, II the dissolution
were effected in the manner desired
and portions Of plants could be sold
and were sold as suggested, to whom
would the sale be made? Would it be
necessarily to foes or to those ambi-
tious to be competitors and anxious to
take advantage Of its plight?
This proposal in its utter disregard
Of the facts of business, In it's substi-
tuition Of the phantasies Of the imagin-
alton for the realities Of life, stamps
the Democratic platform with the fatal
stamp of 1896. The commerce and in
dustry Of this country, the interests of
its wage earners and Of its interdepend-
ent masses, who must rely upon the
stability of business, cannot afford to
give license to such vagaries.
In the solemnity with which this
proposal has been declared. and the in
ystence with which ii Is advocated, we

IF our opponents to deal wisely with

We hear Of workingmen saying that
this time they intend to vote for Mr.
Bryan, because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? How is a tariff for
revenue, ignoring the protection idea
altogether, going to open the shops and
mills? How will the election Of Sena-

industry? Or the publication Of cam

Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan Of Tariff for Revenue Only.
(From the Labor WORLDLY
Workingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, If Mr.. Bryan shall be elect
ed President, his plans for revision Of
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr.. Bryan is the professed
enemy Of the tariff system. He would
impose duties, If at all, for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses to call trust made
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit in import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti-
mates would be more than made up by
increased imports. OF course, his hope
Is to strike at the great protection
States, which happen to be Republican
in politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West vir-
ginia, etc. 1t does not seem to matter
to him that every dollars worth Of for
eign goods in the competitive class COM
ing into the United States on a revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces the demand for home
goods, thus displacing Just that much
American labor. What he wants to do
is to rebuke and avenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth him In politics and who will
have none of him at the polls, says an
exchange.
But while Mr.. Bryan Is cunning for
protected industries and Republican
States, once his proposed tariff law
should be in force it would fall alike
upon all sections Of the country, the
only differences between one State and
another being in the degree Of hardship

After Baron Martin, who possessed

One of the counsel engaged in 1t was
named Stammers, solemn, formal,

made a speech without quoting pas
sages from Scripture. In addressing
the jury he was about to pursue his
old habit and got as far as las the
prophet says" when the judge inter
posed
Don't trouble the jury, Mr.. Stam-
mers, about the prophets. There is not
one of them who would not sell his ia

For months Owosso readers have seen
the constant expression of praise for
Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about the
great work they have done in this local
ity. Not another remedy ever pro-
duced such convincing proof of merit.
Mrs. VIM. Fuller formerly living on
Rowley street, Owosso, Mich, says:
my back caused me a great deal of
suffering and at times the pains ex.
tended to the shoulders, and were So
severe at times that / was unable to
rest. 1 suffered many accompanying
symptoms of kidney trouble and my
physicians told me that my condition
was very poor. 1 procured Doan's
Kidney Pills and the backache soon left
me and feel like different person. "

organs speech at Crookston was a
great disappointment. He actually lost
ground there for Democracy. Thous-
ands Of people were there to hear him,
and waited till ten o'clock in the even

was a narrow appeal to farmers, a
harangue, trying to prejudice them
against Republicanism. 1t didn't take
at all. Only once was there the slight
est symptom of applause. He spoke to

tanned a campaign of education amons

IN COLOR OF SKIN.
MYSTERY BATTLES PHYSICIANS
indianapolis Woman Offers Puzzle to
Several Doctors Who Have Made
Study of Case-Thinks An
other Change Coming.

indianapolis, Ind-For the third
time in her life of SO years, the wife
of America Massey, an ex-slave who
lives with George Laswell at Minneso-
ia street and Churchman avenue, has
turned from black to white.
The first 16 years of her life were
spent In slavery as q housemaid and
as she can remember nothing about
her parents she does not attempt to
explain the mystery which has baff1ed
every one who has seen her as well as
numerous physicians who have ex-
amined her.
Having completed the third trans
formation Mrs. Massey is now of
fair complexion. Her skin is not light
in patches, but is completely white
with the exception of three small
brown spots on the right side of her
face and one on the left. A tint of
pink on each cheek adds a bit of color
to her appearance and the curly hair,
which is gray only in patches, brings
additional contrast. When working
about the house she rolls her sleeves,
showing arms whittier than would be
expected on a woman with a fair
skin.
For the last II years Mrs. Massey
says the transformation has been In
process, and as the change has been
completed for so long she is rather ex-
pecting the reverse performance to be-
gin before many months. She has as
yet noticed none of the more marked
sensations experienced in former
changes. The only things that have
caused her to believe transformation
is due are the appearance of the small
spots on her face and the fact that
she has remained white longer than
usual this time.
In making the first complete change
from black to white and then from

deeply in love with her at first sight
and he laid siege to her heart as per-
sistently as ever he followed rare
specimen of orchid. That she returned
his love he was sure, but there was a
restraint in her relations with him
that he could not fathom. Finally
when riding to hounds they found
themselves far from the pack. Night
was coming on, beautiful moonlit
night that no lover could resist. AS
they logged their horses side by side
along the bride path he took her In
his arms across the saddle. She strug-
gled feebly, yielded and their lips met
in one long, passionate kiss. At last
she freed herself and told her pitiful
story. She could not marry him. She
could not in honor say that she loved
him. She was already the wife OF an
other, welded before the registrar,
although she did not tell him this man
was the Hon. Algernon Sidney Hop
pington. The marriage must be kept
secret because If Hoppington mar
| ried against the wishes or without
the knowledge and consent of the
great-uncle in America he forfeited
all right to his vast estate. Yes, she
had thought she loved him, but now
but she might not say; honor sealed
her lips.
This honor Graham respected, and
he accepted his fate like q man and
sought to forget her in long journeys
attendant upon his chosen vocation.
But Kismet was too strong for them.
Hoppington came into his fortune and
! left England to claim it. Then en-
sued long silence in which his wife
knew nothing of his movements but
what she saw in the papers. Had
Graham returned to England then a
divorce and happier marriage might
have followed, but he was far OF in
the Philippines. At last anger and
a woman's curiosity to know what
was going on got the better Of her,
and she determined to go to Chicago
openly, and, If necessary, fight it out
there to the conclusion of recogni-
ton of her rights or an absolute di~
vorce.
