REASONABLE PROFIT i.

What is IA reasonable profit" for
the Industrial Trusts to charge over
and above the difference between the
cost of production at home and
abroad? The Republican managers who
are hand and glove with the protect
ed trusts and combines evidently
know, but are afraid to inform the
voters, for the Republican platform de-
clares that:
"In all tariff legislation the true
principle OF protection is best main
tanned by the imposition OF such duties
as will equal the difference between
the cost OF production at home and
abroad, together with a reasonable
profit to American industries"
As the present tariff undoubtedly
upholds "the true principle of protec-
tion," for II more than equals the
difference between the cost or produc-
tion at home and abroad" and has al
lowed our trusts and protected inter
ests to charge much higher prices
here than similar goods are produced
and sold for in foreign countries, one
would think even the friends OF pro-
ltectionism would be satisfied. But IL
lappears from what the Republican
platform declares that on top of this
enormous difference in prices here and
lAbroad there is 10 be q further in
crease In the tariff rates, II the RE
Ipublicans are successful, by increasing
THE present tariff duties, so that on
top OF the profits already enjoyed.
there shall be added enough more to
ensure a reasonable profit" II is
the evident intention of our Republi-
ca ntariff tinkers TO allow the trusts
and protected interests to say how
much the increase shall be and as we
all know they are not bashful in their
ideas OF what Is .'reasonable.
Under this Republican plan of tariff
revision Immediately after election .
and no doubt 1t cannot be too immed-
late for >the trusts and protected in
lterests. the present plight Of the
Amerlcan people will be comfort, pleas
ure and affluence compared to what
the future will bring, II the voters al.
low the Republican revlslonlsts and
their trust friends full sway.

o'clock, the hour set for the dele
gates to reassemble there we're less
than a hundred in their seats:
Up to the hour the convention re-
assembled, prominent delegates from
all over the country talked with
Bryan by telephone, seeking TO learn
his choice for vice president. 1t
was stated that he had not attempt
ed to dictate.
Finally Chairman Clayton called
the delegates to order at 1:41 p. m.
and Rev. Martin j. Corbett of New
York offered prayer. At 1851 the
roll call for vice presidential nomi-
nation was begun.
Thomas h. Marshall placed Kern,
of Indiana, in nomination.
Chairman Taggart OF the Nat
ional committee says he is confid-

Chairman Clayton's voice having
been lost entirely, he called Con-
gresham ollie James, to the chair
to preside.
Governor Thomas of Colorado,

which 1t implies. You will have no

At 1926 m. John ]. Walsh

uAGGING BUSINESS.

The boast of the Republicans that
their policies have carried the coun-
try safely through the panic, and
that business IS rapidly reylving. does
not seem to agree with the facts. For
instance, the United States Cast Iron
Pipe Foundry Company, known as the
Pipe Trust. has just made It's report
to its stockholders which shows very
disappointing results. The President
OF the company says In his report:
"During November. 1907, business
absolutely stopped the company did
not lose Its business. There was no
business.
when there was added TO this nat
ural condition the depression which
was caused by the panic the result
was stagnation such as has never
been known In the history OF the cast
iron pipe business In this country. Not
only was there q cessation OF bust
ness and sharp fall In prices In
November, but there was a declining
marketing all through the winter and
lelrly spring months"
But the report tries TO encourage
the stockholders. although no diyi-
|dend Is declared even on the preferred
stock. by saying "that with the open
ling OF spring business has improved /"

Washington, July 10-With the
complete severing of diplomatic
relations between Venezuela and the
United States Thursday afternoon
President Castro has added another
nation to the list that he has Of
Tended. Unable to comprehend why
a foreign power should resent any
ruling In his Czarlike sway, he cut
off diplomatic intercourse with
France. Next comes America, and
dispatches indicate that the rela-
tions between Holland and Vene-
zuela are at a breaking point. How
far Castro will go in isolating his
country from international friend
ship Is a question. 1t is not likely
that war will come between this
country and Venezuela, as Castro
knows when to back down but his
actions In the last few
months have made him an imitant
here and in Europe.
The relations between the two
countries, which have been main
tained without a break for fifty
wears, we're severed when Senior
Veloz-Goiticoa, the Venezuelan
charge d'affaires called at the State
Department TO present TO Acting
Secretary Bacen notice from his
government that he was TO quit his
post here.
In a five minutes talk he ex-
Iplained to the Acting Secretary that

That millionaire Cincinnatian who Is
at the point OF death, as a result OF
cheering for thirty minutes for Roose-
welt at the Chicago convention, should
be warming to the other CO million
aires who attended the convention to
let suoh strenuous politics as Roose-
welt seems to require religiously alone
in the future. This sad case OF over
wrought enthusiasm for the President
raises the serious question: Why did
these .'malefactors of great wealth"
cheer for the President? President
Roosevelt was supposed to be chasing
these rich malefactors to their dens
in the lairs Of the Octopi, and other
predatory corporations. and here we
had evidence of colluslon, or at
least, affection between the million
aires and the President, even to the
point OF sacrificing their health. II
not their lives In his behalf. This
devotion is beyond our comprehension.

BRYAN THE MAN


This statement in itself is suffi-
cient to instill confidence into the
hearts of the Democrats and at the
same time to cause a shudder to the
members of other parties especially
to those who are on the ticket
against him.
Despite the opposition which has
been operating against Bryan In
some quarters he had a sufficient
strength In the national convention
in Denver TO make his nomination.
and this too in the face of the fact
that in two previous campaigns he
led the party and in both was de-
feated.
The record of Mr.. Bryan is in
deed the marvel OF the age and It is
doubtful whether 1t will ever be
equaled again in the worlds his
tory. For twelve years he has held
the center of the stage In Demo-
Icratic national politics, not only
THAT but he has been recognized as
lone OF the brainest men In the coun-
hry or in the world today. He is not
10 man whose ideas have been bound
down to any one subject. Politics
Is not the only avenue In which he
ihas won fame. AS a lecturer he
holds the foremost place in the
lcountry. None can draw so large
an audience and hold It's attention
30 completely as can Mr.. Bryan. In
AN intellectual way he Is a giant
and as leader in religious mat
ters there are few in the ministry
lwho are his equals. During his
lcareer as q public man, during his
two campaigns for the presidency
and his campaign for the third
domination not word has ever
been uttered against him and none
can be uttered truthfully. History
records instances OF men who were
In power holding the love and
highest respect OF people while In
lpower and usually after some prom
inent man has died, the people
awake to the fact that he possessed
liability and lovable qualities, but
never before has a man who has
Isuffered the political reverses which
!Alr. Bryan has suffered, held the
esteem amounting almost to admira-
tion and alteration that he has.
From each defeat he has arisen TO
a higher level IN the estimation of
the people and from each battle he
has emerged with the scars which
mark the hero and only serve to
urge him on To greater deeds and
lgreater accomplishments.
II matters not what the outcome
OF the coming election shall be, his
tory will record OF Mr. Bryan that
he was one OF the most able and
: wtthal the most remarkable man
! this country has ever produced.

DEMOCRATS FORCED no CONTRIB
rrrpu,

The Paper Trust has just reported
to the New York Stock exchange, that
its gross profits for the past ten
months were $17,1s7oo9. For which
good showing the Trust may be thank
full othe Republican party which has
protected it from competition through
high tariff rates. When the Trust
makes its contribution TO the Repub-
llcan campaign fund, every Democratic
newspaper proprietor, at least, Will
unwilingly be the Indirect donor of
part of the Doodle TO elect Taft and
Sherman, and another Republican con-
gress, which would, II successful, per-
haps revise the tariff higher, instead
of abollshing the tariff on wood pulp
and print paper.

Some OF the Republican papers
are endaevoring to make a great
deal of political capital out OF the
Garber-Johnson AFFAIR. They will
have hard task of disrupting the
Democratic party along those lines
when Bryan is at the head OF the
ticket.

The Democrats will have one ad-
vantage In this campaign that never
occurred before. There will be $780,
900 cash In the hands of the treas

not exceed $4,000, II ordinary prud-
ence has been observed by the man
ayers. Ninety thousand dollars Is a
pretty good nest egg to begin the cam
paign upon and not from tainted
source either.
