What Bryan's Plan Would Do

What Bryan's Plan Would Do to
Men Who Work for Wages.
Bryans assertion that the Republican
party is unfolding the trusts because It
does not agree with him on tariff revis-
ion, is only another dream of the peer
less one Any thinking man knows
that low revenue tariff would injuru
the working man, because it would re-
duce wages to the level of the cheap
working men of Europe; would cripple
many Industries in the country that
have not yet secured such foothOld In
the industrial world as TO be able to
compete with free trade conditions and
starvation wages of the countries where
no protection is provided by law
Bryan does not seriously believe in
revenue tariff himself. He considers
1t, however, good bait to catch the la
boring mans vote. His only mistake is
in considering the working man Of to-
day to be an ignorant creature, made
any sugar-coated pill of promise held
out to him.
Yesterday the laboring man took time
all over the country to celebrate his

An to Free Wool.

We think the New York Commercial
will prove to be mistaken I'm it's pre-
diction that demand for free wool will
be strongly pressed when Congress
takes up tariff revision. If such a de
mand Is made 1t must come from the
manufacturers of woolens. These gen
tlemen have memories, no doubt. They
cannot possibly have forgotten what
happened to them when free wool and
lower duties on woolens were the prod
uct OF the tariff revision of 1891 Meth
er are they such fools as to suppose
that free wool would give entrance foi
their woolens into world markets. They
know better What they need is tht
privilege of weaving woolens for Amer
lean consumption. This they would moi
have in the event of free wool. Burnt

TIE DAY BEYOND.

When youth is with US. all things seem
But lightly to be wished and won;
We snare tomorrow in a dream
And take our toll for work undone;
For life is long. and time a stream
That sleeps and sparkles in the sun.
What need of any has;ef" we say;
Tomorrow longer than to-day.
And when tomorrow shall destroy
The heaven of our dreams, in vain
Our hurrying manhood we employ
To build the vanished bliss again;
We have no leisure to enjoy,
$50 few the years that yet remain;
So much to do, and ah !" we say,
Tomorrow longer than to-day"
But when our hands are worn and weak
And still our labors seem unblest,
And time goes past us like bleak
Last twilight waning to the west,
at is not here-the bliss we seek;
Too brief is life for happy rest.
And yet what need of grief!" we say;
Tomorrow longer than to-day"

The magnificent Industrial develop

people should cling to their industrial
