GIVES NEW YORK TO BRYAN.

 The Brooklyn Eagle, one of the lead. ng republican papers in the country that Bryan will go to victory with Chandler in New York and in a wild rage administers this rebuke to .he reuublican leaders in New York;
 "The republican politicians here who think they can hold New York for Taft and safelv let 1t be lost for Hupres are mistaken.
 If tbev conpive at the defeat of Huphes thev may insure the deFeat of Taft in this state. and probably in the union. The conseuuences of either result to the republican state politicians sho"ld be fatal.
 They shorld be pvt out of brs- mess as effectvally as were the Sc povs in India. who were led to mug zies of loaded guns. when the guns were discbarped. The authors of treachery should have no resurrec- ton in politirs. The victims of 1t shopid administer on tho estate of the authors of 1t.
 'we notice that president Roose- welt is reported to be entirely sat isfied with the policy and assur- ances of the republican state com mittee in New York. It win be we'll for the president to sec that he is not made the prev of professional confidence men in bis party in this state. He win share their re- proach,, if they have dusted his eyes. That may not be lust but that will bs inevitable. The presi- dent forced the nomination of Hughes, to aid Taft, on men whose sleeves and pockets b~loed with knives to be thrust in ths gover- nor's back. The responsibility for Hughes as well ss for Taft in this state is up to- the president.

Cost Of a King . Carriage

King Edward rode in "a carriage
worth $4,000 when he swent to the
opening of Parliament on the last oc-
casion.
The vehicle IL one of the most costly
and splendid in the world. 1t was
built in 1851, at cost of $36 900 on the
occasion of the marriage of George III,
and has ever since carried the English
kings and queens on their high state
occasions. Sir William Chambers de-
signed the vehicle, which weighs four
tons.
Despite it's 147 years service its great
wheels, gear and bocy are said to be
as sound as when built, and it looks
as if it would go on forever. Steel
springs were unknownwhen thecoaeh
was built, and its ponderous yet dainty
luxurious body is suspended on leath-
er braces, not unlike those of the old
Conrad stage coaches of America. Its
balance is So perfect that touch of
finger is enough to set the body swing
ing ON the big creaking straps which
brace the carved and gilded tritons
supporting the drivers seat and ham,
mer cloth. The length of the vehicle is
"a feet and it is II feet high.
Ths elaborate carvings cost more
than the carriage proper, the coach
builders bill having been less than
$4,000, !while that of the carver was
moro than $4,000. Something of the
character of the ornameE tation may
be guessed from the fact that the ar
fist Cipriani. received 81 500 for paint
ing the panels, and that the late
makers charge was about $4,000, the
crimson satin interior of the carriage
being most deliberately upholstered.
The preparation of the royal equi-
page for state occasions is real sight.
SiK pairs of milk-white horses from
the reyalsstud are always used, and
ell wear false tails. The ceachman. in
powder and curls,!kmounts his seat

wool trust would be more effective
than an army of ecosonnic commits
slons appointed by Roosevelt. Judge
Taft had more power as judge upon
the bench, to eF force the Sherman
antitrust act, than Taft as president
would have to punish or restrain thS
trusts.
IfTaft as JUICE had not the sense Of
conviction strong enough to protect
the farmer and wool grower from the
trusts, what assurance have we that
he VIII be more earnest in our behalf
if we try him in new position? If
we try him in a place where he can
appoint farms commissions rather
than charge grand juries?
One federal judge with the powers Of
grand jury at his disposal could
STAN pede more trust officials in 36
hours than any president could do IN
four years by college professors sitting
upon commissions. Taft, as federal
judge, had the opportunity to drive
these pirates to Jail and to the peniten-
taries every time he charged grand
jury, but none were freightsd, but alb
were fattened and wore the Taft smile
One federal injunction commanding
the steel trust to dissolve would have
ended this nefarious busincls in 1885,
Instead of that, we see the trusts or
ganized and monopolizing all the nee
essities entering into the life Of the
American people, and this without
protest or prosecution.
We see them grow fat on their ILL.,
gotten plumber, while sitting at the
cabinet table in the white house; we
see their campaign subscriptions swell
into $l2,000,0 900 in 1896, 1900 and 1904,
and no question: asked.
am not a candidate fer any office
and this is non-paYitsan occasion,
but you have asked rue to discuss the
wool trust, It's origin and its effect and
its remedy.
My answer is, elect president whe
will have tho conviction that the vio-
latiOns Of the trust laws have gone too
far. Elect q man who will appoint eff
fcenr, progressive, federal judges
judges who pay their own railroad
fare-judges who know trust pirate
at sight-a judge fearless and fair, with
no obligations to trusts and to pluto
Gratis or to the plunderbund.
Elect a president who will appoint
his executive officers from the people
and net from the plundsrers. If Mr..
Bryan should be elected by your votes
and by my vote, and should be as
indifferent to our cries for help as have
national officials in the last twelve
years, then gentleman Of Buckingham
county, I want to live to come again to
d1nounce Bryan, from this platform,
DIS man unworthy CT our trust. l
want my voice to ring out in denupcia-
ton against him if he fails to use the
powers Of government fer the protec-
ton of the ''com mon wealth, and not
to be used to foster the interest of cam
paign contributions and trust fattened
officials.

corporation or trust. This trust de-
stro yed the competition, but by form
ing the American Wooden company all
competitive bidding for rev wool in
Ohio has ceased.
We may have different agents buy
| ing wool, but all wool goes to the one
eastern buyer, one bidder. one buyer.
In Ohio in 1908 we were Obliged to ac-
eept an arbitrary price of 20 cents fol
unwashed wool in Marion and Craw
ford counties of the state-20 cents fas
against 30 last year.
Wool should have been As cents this
year as compared with last year, if the
natural laws of supply and demand, or
of cost of the commodity mad been per-
mitted to operate. Ohio wool growers
received an arbitrary price last year
and submitted to it.
This year we were dubbed again and
received one-third less The losses to
Ohio wool growers this year compared
with last year were 10 cents per pound
upon 12,2S9, 900 pounds. If we had re-
ceived an open competitive price COM
mensurate with our cost of wool this
year, our prices would have been easily
so cents.
Our losses in Ohio have ranged from
81, 800, 900 to $4,000, 900 by reason of the
wool trust. Meat raisers, on mutton,
have lost 81 800, 900 more this year by
orders of the meat trust.
Every shipper was paid SO 1-3 per
cent to sc 2-3 per cent excessive freight
rates. Every head of family has paid
trust prices for his wool goods. His
clothing Of the better quality his been
the highest since war prices.
Who has been the benefieiaries? he
little group Of trust magnates in Bos-
ton and Philadelphia that organize
and maintain the wool trust, the group
of trust pluudering hIghwaymen who
organized the American Wooden Com
pany and who operate it in violation
of the national antitrust law; com
menly called the Sherman act.
What have been their profits this
year? / give you few figures from the

pretty things that please children al
ways and especially so at Christmas.
Presently from a darker, poorer
street tiny slip of girl came timid-
ly around the corner, and, glancing
about anxiously to see that no one
was in sight, she stole up to the win
dow of the little shop and began
feasting her hungry eyes upon its
beautiful treasures. She was very,
very thin and pale. and her clothes
were but shreds and patches, yet her
eyes sparkled, and there was the joy
of Christmas In her heart just to look
at the good things.
For minute or more she stood with
her wan little face pressed close
against the glass, and then she drop
ped to her knees before this shrine Of
Santa Claus and clasped her hands to-
gether as we see pictures of children
at prayer. Her upturned eyes were
closed, and the light fell upon her
face very softly.
In the shadow of the houses across
the street big policeman stood watch
ing. Now he came stealthily over to-
ward the shrine, with the child on
her knees before 1t. AS he reached
the curb be heard her voice, trem-
bling and uncertain:
"Noy I lay me down to sleep
pray the Lord my soul to keep. If /
should die before / wake, pray the
Lord my soul to take. And, oh, SAINT.
Claus, l do want a dolly and some
candy for Christmas Amen
She had said the only prayer she
knew, and as she rose to her feet
again the policeman touched her on
the shoulder. She started suddenly
and would have run away, for these
street waits fear the big policemen,
but he held her.
Come with me-" he said, and she
began to cry.
He took her into the little shop, and
when she came out again she held a
yellow haired doll fiercely to her thin
little breast with one hand and in the
other she carried two bags of candy.
AS she looked up to the big police
man be saw in her face what he had
seen as she knelt before the shrine of
Santa Claus, and he bent down and
kissed her good night - William j.

Christmas Pies.

In England, Yorkshire is still the
stronghold OF vast Christmas pies that
trace their lineage far beyond the Nor
man conquest into the dim feasts OF
Saxon kings and Danish freebooters.
A rather quaint note. written in 1888.
makes mention of the "wains" COR wag-
ons) grooming about Christmas time
under a load Of these pies and adds,
"At such times the hostess of a well
frequented inn of the old school will
construct q pie of the circumference
rivaling her own, and the county news
paper will record its dimensions"
One such hostess of the old school
is immortalized by a famous though
slightly profane epitaph in Yorkshire
churchyard running as follows:
Here lies the body Of Mary Ann Shovcn
She was versed IN the arts
OF cakes pies and tarts
And the mystical rites Of the oven.
When shed lived long enough
She made her last puff
A puff by her husband much praised.
Now here she doth lie
And make a mud pie
In the hope that her crust may b'
raised.
