Colorado Coal Case Settled.

Pueblo, Colo, Oct. 9.-The IA
nous suit of the United States
against the Utah Coal and Iron com
pany, of Durango, in which the gov
eminent sought to recover $63O,OOO
for coal alleged to have been taken
from government lands illegally, was
compromised in the federal court
here today. The coal company is to
pay the government $4,000. The
case was tried here in 1906 and the
government was awarded Judgment
in the sum of $5,125, but immedi-
'ately appealed the case which was
reversed and remanded back for
trial. An effort was made. to delay
the trial, but the jury was secured
this morning and the compromise
was effected soon afterwards.

Can't Di,affect the Farmers.

The failure Of Bryan's desperate at.

Is illustrated by the manner in whicl,

According to Congressman Halvor Stew.
enson the event went off as follows
"Bryan's speech at Crookston was a
great disappointment He actually lost
ground there for Democracy. Thous.
ands of people were there to hear him
and waited till ten o'clock in the.even-

was narrow appeal to farmers, a

against Rel 'lblicanism. 1t didn't take
at all. Only once was there the slight.

silent, disappointed audience"

ENEMY OF TARIFF.
Tabor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan Of Tariff for Revenue Only.
(From the Labor Worldly


Workingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, If Mr.. Bryan shall be elect
ed President, his plans for revision Of
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr. Bryan is the protested
enemy Of the tariff system. lie would
impose duties, II Mt all, for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses to call trust-made
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit in import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti-
mates would be more than made up by
increased imports. OF course, his hope
Is to strike at the great protection
States, which happen to be Republican
In politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio Illinois, Indiana, West Vir-
ginia. etc. 1t does not seem to matter
to him that every dollars worth Of for
eign goods in the competitive class com
ing into the United States on revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by SO
much reduces the demand for home
goods, thus displacing just that much
American labor. What he wants to do
Is to rebuke and avenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth him in politics and who will
have none of him at the polls, says an
exchange.
But while Mr.. Bryan is cunning for
protected industries and Republican
States, once his proposed tariff law
should be in force it would fall alike
upon all sections Of the country, the
only differences between one State and
another being in the degree Of hardship
imposed.
We hear Of workingmen saying that
this time they intend to vote for Mr..
Bryan, because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? How is tariff for
revenue, ignoring the protection idea
altogether, going to open the shops and
mills? How will the election Of Sena-
tors by direct vote start the wheels Of
Industry Or the publication Of cam
paign contributions? Or the further
harassment of the railroads? Or the
reorganization of the House, 80 that
the Speaker may be powerless? Why
open this country now to the markets
OF the world when we have not sufi-
cient demand to consume what we our
selves manufacturer Under Republi-
can rule we have just had ten years Of
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem
ocratic administrations we have never
had prosperity for any period. long or
short.

In connection with this period

in connection with this period
were shown details OF continental
troops. Philadelphia's famous First
City Troop in the original uniforms
escorting Gen. Washington; Robert
Morris, the great financier Of that
time, who raised the necessary funds
for country to defeat the British, the
battle of Germantown, and other
important features of that part of
the city's and country's history.
Philadelphia and the nation in
the war of 1912 were similarly
treated and again 1t was shown that
1t was Philadelphian-Stephen
Girard-who financed the govern
ment. Considerable attention was
also devoted to the Mssacan war and
the rebellion and in connection with
the latter display it was shown that
another Philadelphian-like Morris
and Girard-performed the hercu-
lean task of providing Lincoln with
the funds for saving the Union. That
was Jay Cooke, the great fnancier.
Another feature of the civil war per-
iod was the reproduction of details
of men Of about twenty each, cor
rectly uniformed, representing ev-
cry one Of the Philadelphia regiments
which enlisted for the war.

Cam p.i~n Of Educ.t,o-

In the great battle of 1895 the Re-
publican larty again stood for the
maintenance OF the integrity Of the ma
ton. The fight was against odds pro-
duced by great Industrial depression,
and against the most sophistical argu-
ments. The Republican party main
tained campaign of education among
the waye-earners and the farmers,
which ultimately led to the complete
defeat Of this second financial heresy
which has threatened the integrity Of
our business slructure.-Hon., VIM. Ii.

BourE11 ON BRYAN.
Is His "shall the People Ruler'
Simply "a Local Issuepo

Congressman Henry Sherman Bou-
tell OF Chicago, commenting on Mr..
Bryans speech in Iowa, says:
Mr.. Bryan's question, "Shall the PEG.
pie ruler" implies that somewhere in
this country the people do not rule
The only States where the people do
not rule are the States that are ex.
pected to give overwhelming majorities
for the Democratic ticket. Perhaps
Mr.. Bryan thinks that his question il
purely "a local ISSUE" Ii he is sin
cere, challenge him to make u speech
III Vicksburg, Miss, on Government

his famous anti-imperialist speeches,
simply changing three words, substitute
Ing Mississippi" for philippines and
''black brothers for "brown brothers."
Let him suggest that we have as chair
man Of his meeting John Sharp VIII.
liams, leader Of the Democrats In Con.
gress, and as vice-chairmen the other
members Of the Congressional delega.
ton from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech
In Vicksburg, If he shall have escaped
the rule Of the people in that COM
munity, dare Mr.. Bryan to repeat
his grafton on popular government in
Charleston, s. c., with Senator Till.
man as chairman Of his meeting. MIR.
Bryans sentiments have a purely geo
graphical sincerity. His epigrams and
startling conundrums are especially de-
signed to meet local demands. OF this
nature are Ill his views on tariff and
taxation.
Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every
time a trust is formed tariff sched-
ule should be repealed, and every time
trust is dissolved new duty should
be added, is too funny even for comic
opera.
II on March next Mr. Bryan should
become President, with Democratic
Congress in both houses, and should
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries de-
llvered by him in his speech of last
Friday, 1t would plunge the nation into
o"AAA uptSS diiu DlIlS vi INDUSTRIAL
chaos II he should begin by repeating
the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the natio1.al
finances by losing S6O,0OO,OOO a year
In revenues and would stir up a revo-
luton in Louisiana, Utah, Colorado
and Michigan. Then, If he should re-
peal the duty on cotton goods, because
some hustllng manufacturers Of New
England or the Carolinas were dump
Ing goods in China in rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, he would divert
other millions from the treasury and
Invite still further Industrial ruin.
But, OF course, Mr.. Bryan would do
none Of these things, any more than
he will invade the solid South and sum
mon the cohorts OF Democracy to the
defence Of the Constitution with the
battle cry "Shall the People I,ule?'
Mr.. Bryan simply does not mean what
he says. What he utters with Chad
bandian JUNCTION in the North he repudi-
ates with Pecksnlffian duplicity in the
South.

Honor Salneron.

Madrid, Oct. despite the pro-
tests of the monarchists and cleri-
calls, Malrid was to-day the scene IF
a republican demonstration in hon
or of the memory of the late D..
Nicholas Salmeron, former presi-
dent of the Inflated Spanish repub-
lie, who died at Pau, France, on Sep
TENDER FL, at the age of 20. The
memorial was in charge Of the Span
ish Freethought Federation, and eu-
logies on the dead stateman were
delivered by some of the most prom
inent literary men OF Spain. Some
of the speakers declared that the re-
publican movement, in which Sal
meron was leader. will yet throw
sufficiently to overthrow the mon
archy and establish a permanent re-
public in the land now ruled by Al
fonso and Victoria.
The late DR.. Salmeron was lead
ar in the Cirtes when the revolution
Of 1858 dethroned Isabella and made
Amadeus, the Italian prince, the
sovereign of Spain. When Amad-
eous was expelled in 1873 and a re-
publican provisional government was
formed, the portfolio of justice was
confided to Salmeron. In June,
1873. he was chosen President of
the Cortes. In July, Pi y Margal
having given up the position of chief
executive, the Cortes chose Salmer-
On to fill it. He took the office July.
10, himself a Federal republican,
and pledged his best efforts to put
down both of the extreme factions
which threatened the state. His
energetic measures soon checked
both the Carlists and the extreme re-
publican faction. He resigned in
September because the Cortes re-
fused to abolish the death penalty
for military offenses and he would
not sign death warrants. Castelar,
succeeded him and he was again
chosen President of the Cortes, serv-
ing until the coup d'etat Of Jnauary,
8. 1874, which brought Alfonso XII
to the throne. While in exile in
Portugal, Salmeron, through the ma
chinations OF the Spanish minister,
Canovas, his reactionary enemy, was
ordered to leave that country with
in twenty-four hours, and fed to
Paris. He retained as his friends
the university students of Spain, and
as comrades the university profess
