believe Uncle joe" to be a particular

that he has made a few slips. In

was the parent when in the senate

Bryan's Hunt For an Issue.
Mr.. Bryan, Theoretically corked up
on the old issues of free silver. i'm
perialism and government ownership
of railways, Is scrutinizing the record
Of Republican administration during
the past twelve years with a micro
scope to find some peg on which to
hang an attack. 1t would not be alto
gether surprising II a party which had
done so much IL this period to advance
the glery and economic progress Of the
country had made a casual error here
and there. These twelve years have
witnessed the wal with Spain, which
gave freedom to Cuba and Porto Rico
and brought the Philippines under
Americas -uthority. They have wit
messed the emergence Of the country
from depression and financial uncer-
taInty upon the firm ground Of the
gold standard, enacted into law by a
Republican congress. They have wit
messed the creation Of a navy which
Is carrying u flag with honor around
the world. They have witnessed the
extension of the strong hand over the
railways and the great corporations in
behalf Of equality of treatment for all
citizens. In sum and substance. these
twelve years have witnessed for the
average man q decree Of prosperity

How William J. Bryan jugSles With
the facts when they run counter to bis
purposes was shown by his speech At
Cedar Rapids, T., Oct s He was
speaking 4 susek Of : tariff for row
ssua eaiy q the tfus remedy for bust
r9ss dspre1Rt onf a1d sought to enforce
th- soauat qasssst-stRtistic relating
to commercial failures. His contention
was that the conditions which led to
the 1922 failures In 1893. the largest
number recorded for a single year,
were In no way attributable to tariff
reduction, "for," he protested, sit must
be remembered that the Mckinley tar
if was still In force in 1893"
This trick evasion will deceive no
body. The congress which enacted the
Wilson-G orman tariff properly de-
scribed by a Democratic president as
"a creature of peridy and d%lshonor"-
was elected In 1892. Its mere existence
was a blight to American industry. The
country knew precisely what to expect
from 1t, and from the hour Of its cleo
ton the great business enterprises Of
the country began to wither and decay
There were only 1924 commercial
failures In the country in 1892, but
with the certainty of wholesale reduc-
lions Of the tariff by the congress
elected that year the number OF fall
ures rose to 1922 in 1893. There were
1856 in 1894, 1s,197 In 1895 and 1908
in 1896, those being the years covered
by the Wilson, German act of perfdy
and dlshonor.
Note the changes which followed the
repeal Of that ruinous law. The Ding
ley tariff took effect July "a, 1897.
The failures that year numbered only
IS. 1851, the number declining to 12.t8o
in 1898 and to 1887 in 1899. The high
est number Of failures received for any
year since the Wilson German act was
repealed was 1881, in 1903. The per
cent Of failures for the whole number
Of business concern covered by Stats
tics was 1.81, in 1898, under the VII
son-Gorman act, but It "a only 81
Of I per sent in 1901, under the Ding
ley act.
MI. Bryan IL urging tho country to
return to the old policy Of revenue
tariffs, which as a member Of congress
he helped to force upon the statute
books In the form Of the Wilson-Gor-
man monstrosity. He declares that If
the Democrats win In the coming cleo
lions there win be a reduction Of the
tariff such as "wii remove the tariff
question from politics for a number Of
years" It will be also such as will
put American manufacturers out of
business for an equal period.
Every time Mr.. Bryan talks on the
tariff the people + reminded that he
is a free trader who helped to enact a
law which drove tens Of thousands of
American business concerns into bank
Eruptcy and brought indescribable dis
tress to hundreds Of thousands Of
American workingmen. His plea for
power to repeat that monstrous wrong
against the productive enterprises Of
the land is at once sublimely audacious
and supremely insulting.

Our GOVERNMENT WAS STRUNG AT
JAMEsTOwN.-It seems that Uncle
Sam was Outrageously buncOed by
the Jamestown Exposition. He
loaned cool million Of dollars, to be
returned from the gate receipts, but
as that income did not equal expendi.
lures he has been left to hold the
SACK" for about 1860. 900. Contrary
to the general belief the Government
is not a preferred creditor, and the
only chance for REIN bursement seems
to be in its buying in property built
with the loaned public money. Thi.
experience emphasizes the belief that
this show business to boom local
enterprise has gone about far enough,
if it is to be upheld by the fostering
care of the General Government.

A CONCRETE Moroa, a
small town in Illinois, will on the
18th inst. dedicate what is known as
a compartment masoleum, a struc-
ture of concrete, containing IA
crypts for the reception of that num-
Der of bodies, the recepticals being
sealed with a like substance for all
time. The building is 60 feet long
and 33 wide, with walls ten feet in
height. Every casket will be marked
by marble slab bearing the usual
inscriptions of the ordinary tomb
stone. The new idea appeals to
those who do not like the custom OF
placing loved one in the ground.
The mosoleum at Maroa is the first
in the West, and the only other
similar to it is that on Boston COM
mon which contains the bodies of
many famed in history sealed by
masonry in rockwell terrace.
