assistance Of the gentlemen in gold lace

In the matter Of travel, President TAFT
is also trying TO get back to Democratic
Simplicity. Instead OF hiring a special
train, as President Roosevelt usually did
when visiting other cities, President Taft
merely charters private car which Is
hitched to the regular passenger trains
Of the lines that reach the points he
wishes To visit,
As consequence, he is usually half
or three quarters Of an hour late in
making his destination, but he probably
feels recompensed ia the knowledge that
he is not making show" Of himself in
any way and is travelling very much like
any other American gentleman.
His modesiy in this respect also spares
him many Of the crowds at the stations
that would be there 70 greet him we're
he coming in on special, for as he
travels now, upon the regular trains,
scarcely any Of the railroad men are
aware that he is upon their divisions
or sections until after be has gone.
While Senator Deliver was ripping
up Senator Aldrich and the Senate bin,
the Rhode Island laeder was more irritat-
cd and agitated than he has been az any
other time this session.

in the Congressional Record and show
up Dolliver as a Democrat
Other senators we're SO interested that
they reached for the old reliable Record
next morning even before giving atten-
ton 70 the newspapers What they saw
made them pause at first and then give
ii up There were over seven pages of
facts and figures on the most complicat
ed schedules in the tariff bin, Nobody
has had the patience and the requisite
technical knowledge to figure out wheth-
er Deliver is guilty or not guilty.
MAYBE it convicts.n commented one
can figure II out lie can have my seat"
Deliver saws that as the same inequai-
tiles now in the schedules existed in
old vet. maybe it does, but if anybody
outside an experience wool or cotton man
1897, II is not remarkable that his close
investigation disclosed the same evils dug
up By the senator's Aforementioned
Yiding the aforesaid senators actually
made the discovery.
They were talking at the capitol of
American and Oriental labor, and Sena

an enterprising mining man, who has
had large mining enterprises in every
country in the world of any mining inn |
portance. He has mined in Australia; !
he has mined in South Africa; he has
mined in the different countries Of South |
America and Of Central America, in
Mexico; in Russia, in Korea and in this
country. He has been at the same time
conducting mining enterprises in all these
different countries He informed me
that, SO far as the production Of the /
anti was concerned, the discrepancy in
wage scale made no difference, that he
would rather operate under high wage
scale than under low wage scale, be-
,ause wherever the high wage scale pre-
