Organism Must Be Buried.

Considering that Mr.. Bryan this year
has been at his best, that he has been
able for e%xpediencv to lay aside his
radicalfsm and adopt more moderate
tactics, still he does not and never can
measure up to the standard of chief
magistrate. He is for one thing very
unfortunate in his friends and associ-
ates. There Is not one Of them thnt

GRADING Completed.

Fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins have com
pleted the grading Of the Athol-Borle
cut-off and have turned over the road
to the Union Pacific, says the Omaha
Bee They have shipped their grading
outfit to other points along the Union
Pacific to continue work until cold
weather. They have e n about half
Of their outfit to Superior, Sweetwater
county, Wyoming. where the big tip
pies OF the Union Pacific Coal com
pany must be moved from government
ground on which they were built by
mistake. The new location for the tip
pies requires the grading OF about 100.
900 yards Of dirt. The completion Of
the Athol-Borie cutoff means that in
q short time freight shipments from
the coast and the Pacific northwest
will no longer pass through Cheyenne
when en- route for Denver or Kansas
points, but will use the cutoff. Al
though this cut-of IL less than = dozen
miles in length 1t means the saving Of
Z pull up the stespest grade on the
Union Pac.nc systsm.

Bryan and the Taxing Power.


Mr.. Bryan's frequent illusions on
he stump to what he calls 1.-THE tax
eaters" Is a reminder that his views
On the taxing power have always been
1T variance with those of sounder au-
shorities on economic problems. In an
address before the students at Chicago
university on Sept. 10, 1896, he pro-
pounded the question, "Is there any
lust rule for the collecting of taxesr'
which he answered In the negative.
From his viewpoint the answer is en-
tirely plausible and consistent. He is
committed to policies which, II practi-
cable and operative. would make the
collecting Of taxes both needless and
absurd. His method is described In
the following extract from a speech
which he delivered in Memphis:
I'VE insist that legislation can undo
what legislation did. Wa insist that
the opening Of our minis will create a
demand which the closing Of our mints
destroyed and that the demand for
silver will raise the price Of silver bull
lion to $1.2s anywhere In the world"
The cardinal principle Of Mr.. Bry-
ans philosophy is that wealth is Gre
ated by legislation rather than by la
Dor. He holds that the government by
mere fat can fix the value of commodi-
ties which are produced by competi-
tive enterprise and disposed of In COM
p~etitive markets. He uses silver to H.
lustrate his plan and would have the
public believe that the United States
alone and unaided could by mere leg
lslative enactment treble the price of
silver bullion everywhere In the world.
1t is obvious, however, that If the gov
eminent can do any such thing with
silver 1t can do likewise with wheat,
wool, pig iron, mess pork or any other
staple product of labor.
1t follows, therefore, that If values
may be created by legislation instead
of by toll the exercise Of the taxing
power by the government for the pur-
pose Of raising revenue is an act of
tyranny which should not be tolerated
for a single day. If money can be
created by fat, as Mr. Bryan has SO
constantly insisted. the government
should be always rich instead Of al
ways poor, and all taxes should be re-
pealed. Moreover, If the value Of each
mans property can be doubled or
trebled by a mere act Of congress
without injury to the interests of 9th
ers the sooner 1t is done the better
After that the next step should be the
enactment Of laws a%bolishing poverty
and making good health contagious.
They are indisputable corollaries Of
free silver coinage.
Mr.. Bryan's idea Of the taxing power
as shown bv his views on the money
question is not a whit more ridiculous
than bis crude doctrines as to public
ownership and the treatment Of inter
state corporations. His policy would
transform the government into a gam
bier and the monopolist with unre-
stricted power to crush competition,
initiate values and juggle with the
property of the people as personal am
bition or party e~xpediency might die
tate.

Tho Wage E~srner's Choice.
mich d.sry VIE carr shosE stake'

erhe uIeat 80 Vital 1!sti9etion7,
home to himself-between Republican
and Democratic revision Of the tariff
is that Republicans propose to revise
the tariff in such a way as not to re-
duce the wages Of or diminish the op-
portunities or employment of Ameri-
can labor, and Bryan and his follow
ers propose to cut the tariff down as
near a free trade basis as they dare,
with entire disregard Of the interests
Of American labor.
Whether the statement that Bryan
as a Democratic member Of the ways
and means committee Of the Demo
cratic congress which passed the VIII
son-Gormar tariff bill spoke Of Ameri-
can workingmen seeking protection as
public beggars" is correct or not is
Of very slight consequence. because
his lifelong attitude toward tariff re-
vision speaks for itself and shows that
he regards ',eneiciaries Of a protective
tariff, both employers and employed,
as not entitled to the benefits they re-
ceive-that Is, as just what the oppro-
brious epithet designates them.
The Republican party takes the view
and upholds 1t in speech and in prac-
tice that American workers have a
right to protection and that In revising
the tariff that right must be respected
Such Is the difference-as wide and
deep and impossible as difference on
a public question can be-between the
revision the Republican party proposes
and intends to effect and the SO called
revision that Bryan represents In his
public record, his platform and his
speeches.
1t is for the American wage Garner
to decide which kind Of revision he
prefers-the Republican revision. which
will keep the making Of American
goods for America. or the Bryan re-
vision, which will give the work of
making American goods to factories In
England and Germany.
