Ardmoreite Special.
Washington. Jan. 27-Judge Park
er's retort to Mr.. Bryan's statement
made before the Kentucky legisla-
ture that he had taken his Incident
and supported Parker during the 1901
campaign really justifies some rem
iniscences ON my part
In 1895 Judge Parker was can
didate for reelection as chief judge
of the court of appeals of New York.
He was the one state candidate TO
be voted for. The real fight which
was being made was that for the
/ election of Henry George for Mayor
| of New York. Elliot Danforth then
| chairman of the state committee,
/ loyal democrat and a good friend
| of Mr.. Bryan's came to me-l being
at the time chairman of the Henry
George San paign commttee-urg-
| ing that we should put Judge Park
| ,r's name on our ticket. The fight
made by the Henry George men was
| purely local one. 1t was on the
|. .len dominant forces in Tammany
II Hall. OF course we were beaten.
Three days before the election
Henry George died. 1t was too
late to present any other candidate.
Looking back on the contest now,
am quite sure that we would have
been beaten in any event. Mayor
Van Wyck was elected overwheim-
ingly, and probcbly would have been
in any event The temper of New
York at that time was not for re.
form.
Before the tickets were printed
, was asked by Mr.. Danforth to meet
Judge Parker The meeting took place
at an uptown hotel Judge Parker
desired that his name should be put
upon the ticket with Henry George
and that Henry George should in
every speech he made during the
campaign say some words in his be
half. AS there was no fight being
made on the Part of the Henry
George people in the state, this was
acceded to with the single provisC
that Judge Parker should distinctly
de. lare that he had supported bry
an in the campaign of 1896. II tool
nearly an hours argument to per
suade the Judge to make such ;
statement. When 1t was made 1t tool
this form, Il cast my vote for th'
! nominee of the democratic party il
1896. as | always cast my vote 70
the nominee of that party" The lei
ter was addressed toElliot Danfort
at my own suggestion. Mr.. Danfortl
is now dead, and how access to hi
\ political papers can be obtained,
do not know. But | do know this
4 that when Alton b. Parker was
candidate for reelection as dhief jus
: tice of the court of appeals, it tooI
nearly two hours to persuade hin
I to say that he even voted for MI
g Bryan in 1896, and then when h
a handed his statement to that effec
to me, he hesitated and said: 81 an
y afraid | am making a great mistake.
! When Judge Parker today speaks o
Mr.. Bryan's sowing dragons teet
in his path, 1t might be well for hin
to consider the time when he use
the friends of Mr. BRYAN to bel
. him into a position and then after
wards discarded them.

Fallaclous Finance,

II you had $3.50, ,G23 to your cred.
II in the banks, and you had notes or
bonds coming due. amounting to SG3-,
94546O on August l, drawing three
per cent. interest, would you pay what
you owe, or allow the notes to run for
ten years longer? II would seem to
be a plain business proposition to pay
the notes and thus save two per cent.
interest The above statement of the
amount of money on deposit in the
banks and the bonds due on August /,
Is the exact condition of the United
States treasury on July II, but It is
stated that Secretary Cortelyou in.
tends to allow the s63 1000. 900 of bonds
to run and still draw three per cent.
interest instead OF paying them.
Those outstanding bonds were is.
sued on August 1, 1898, on the three
per cent. 1920 basis, that Is the gov.
eminent can redeem the bonds on the
expiration OF ten years, or can allow
them TO run ten years longer. Those
outstanding bonds can also be refund.
ed with new bonds drawing two per
cent. interest, 80 that instead OF the
government having to pay annual in.
terest of about s1,920,0OO a year this
interest charge would be reduced to
$3.50, 900 year.
There would be no doubt about what
q business man would do under these
circumstances. He would undoubtedly
pay the bonds and stop paying inter
est. But the government finances are
evidently not run on business prin.
ciples. but appear to be manipulated,
for the benefit Of the national banks
or some other Wall street favorite
who owns the bonds.

Railroads and Politics,

Are railroad rates to be raised on
August /? The railroad managers
claim that either rates must be In.
creased or wages reduced to make
both ends meet. The Republican poll.
ticians say that to reduce wages dur.
ing the campaign might lead to
strikes and the defeat of the Republi.
can ticket. This puts the railroad
managers in a dilemma that It is diff.
cult to extricate themselves from, for
they have decided It is for their best
interests to elect Mr.. Taft, and they,
therefore, do not wish to embarrass
the Republican managers by reducing
wages, 80 1t Is said they will increase
railroad rates about ten per cent. The
business interests are much opposed
to an increase Of rates which would
naturally lead to decrease in traffic.
All this shows the necessity of a di.
vorce OF railroad policies from Repub.
lican politics. or both will suffer. The
people are In no mood to indorse the
Republican candidates IL they are to
pay the freight, and the railroad en-
ployes will oppose, even to the point
OF a gigantic strike, a reduction OF
wages while the cost OF living is still!
so high.
II is difficult to decide the merits OF
the controversy. but however It is set.
tied II would seem to spell disaster to
the Republicans.

TARIFF AND WAeE.EARNERs
American Workers sorely Oppressed
and Receive No Benefit.

American wage.earners are sorely
oppressed by the present high tariff
Even II Il be admitted that the tariff
enables some Of them to obtain bet.
ter wages than they perhaps could
nnder lower duties, the number of
such is relatively small. 1t embraces
only those who are employed In Ger.
tain Industries. To the great major
ity Of workers the high tariff Is not
only of no benefit, but imposes exac.
lions which to many are cruelty bur.
densome.
The tariff reaches about everything
that the wageearner must have.
There Is hardly necessity that is not
included In the schedules OF the Ding.
ley law, and on not a few of these
the duties are as heavy as those lev.
led on luxuries which can be had only
by the rich. This Is one of the Inc.
qualities of the law which justifles
the demand for tariff revision and re.
form. There can be no defense OF a
policy that thus discriminates against
the great majority of the people.
In the pending campaign the wage.
earners of the country are pretty
certain to give more earnest consider.

the existing tariff.-Chicago journal.

New York World for BRYAN

The New York World has come
straight into the Bryan camp. In q
leading editorial the other day the
World says
We are nearing the end OF one
stage OF Rooseveltism. It's fruits are
before us. In the name of false pa
triotism they are jingoism, imperial
ism, extravaganza. plutocracy, central.
ization. They are violence, usurpa.
tion, panic, depression. They are con.
tempt for law, contempt for courts.
contempt for congress. contempt for
the constitution. All these have been
crystallized in the machine.made and
corporation financed candidacy OF a
personally amiable and excellent
proxy.
Independently and firmly, volun.
tarily and consclentiously, and with a
keen appreciation of It's own RESPONSE.
bility to the public, the World, con.
fronted on one side by Rooseveltism
and Roosevelt's proxy and on the other
by Democracy and Mr. Bryan, has no
hesitation in saying that, within the
limits OF true Democracy, the Demo-
cratic ticket is entitled to the full
Democratic vote"

The Pestlferous Tariff,

Another reason why the Democrats
should keep still about the pestiferous
tariff Is that they haven't chance to
revise 1t. Within week 80 fearful
Republican papers have pointed that
Cat, not with viciousness, but in a
spirit OF kindness. After they have
given this sage counsel to the Demo-
Gratis. they always fall to discussing
the hopelessness of Democratic pre-
ponderance IA the United States Gen
ate. That is always happy Repub.
lican argument. The senate stands
now immdtably committed to the
crime of Dingleyism, so the Democrats
might as well indulge in no displays
OF peevishness over the tariff.
