Leader Of His Party In British Parlia-

and Debater-life Full Of
Activities.

Chicago.-Since the death Of Charles
tor In Irish leadership has been, and
still is, John Edward Redmond, the
leader of the Irish party In the Brit
ish parliament, who is now touring this
country.
Fifty-three years of age, of a
physique that, Notwithstanding the
constant strain that has been placed
upon 1t for years, is still magnificent,
e.oquent, tactician of the highest Or
der, a man of learning and of the
most remarkable selfcontrol, Mr.. Red
mond occupies at the present time the
foreground in the arena Of English
and Irish politics.
His career In parliament began at
an almost youthful period in his life.
His father, Mr.. Redmond, Sr.. has
often spoken boldly upon the floor of
commons against British misrule in
Ireland.
John Redmond was educated by the
Jesuits at Clongowee Wood college
and at Trinity college in Dublin. where
he had distinguished career.
Only few years after leaving col
lege he took his seat in the house of
commons. During his service there
he stood for a division in Liverpool in
1885. but was defeated.
On the first day that he entered
parliament he was suspended from
that body for breach of the rules.
At that time Gladstone. Parnell,
Healey, William O'Brien and John Dill
lon were leaders.
Redmond made himself recognized
by all these able men. He was at
once brilliant orator and debater.
His speeches attracted notice for their

German Manufacturers to Flood

The following cablegram TO the New
York Sun under date Of Oct. 3 shows
what German manufacturers expect to
do should Bryan be elected:

fight between President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan has suddenly aroused Ger

The German manufacturers evidently
are shrewd observers. If Mr.. Bryan

trade be carried into effect we would
soon be flooded with Gcrman-mide
goods Of every description. and our fac

Mr.. Taft points out that the cost of pro-

three elements: "'rhc cost ~ material.
the cost Of labor and the Interest on
