Where |. Democratic Princlples

New York Journal of Comnferce.
 In the days when the Democratic Party ruled the land, except in brief periods of reaction. 1t was the party of hard moneys and revenue tar- iff," and the period in which the coun- try made relatively the snost rapid progress was from 1s4e to 1880 under the gold standard advocated by "Oid Bullion Benton and the Walker tariff. But for slavery and the civil war and their consequences the policy of those days would have continued and mate rial progress would in all probability have been greater than it has been. But where are the old Democratic prin- clples and policies now, after the wreck to which. upholding slavery brought the party2
 Where its hard money doctrine has gone ask Bryan and his followers, and of the political consequences the re- suits of three campaigns since Cleve- lands second term will tell the story. is being done to death at this mo- ment In the United States. The Payne bill, Republican measure. put iron ore on the free list, the duty on that ing very little revenue. The Aldrich substitute. a measure scontrived solely in the interest of great protected cons cerns, and combinations, restored the mainly for the benGft of the steel Trust" When this paragraph came to a a'vote in the Senate it was adopted by 61 to 24, and neafly twice as many while fewer Democrats than Repubii- cans voted against 1t. Fourteen of the adverse votes were cast by Repub- hcans to ten by Democrats, while Dem ocrats furnished eighteen of the sixty one favorable votes.
 Democratic principles, as they once we're, are not dead, but they have no party devoted to them. Their former worshipers have wandered off after the strange gods of greenbackism. of Pop ulism and now of protectionism in their several districts and sections. They crave the fat of its altars be- cause others have it. and so long as grab for their share rather than try to stop it. The forces of greed, the policies of levying tribute upon the mass of workers and consumers to en- rich those who control and direct pro- ductive industries. took control of one party years ago because other forces had brought it Into power. Now they are losing their hold upn that and grasping at the other for some of their support.
 With its principles the Democratic Party has repeatedly thrown away its chance of regaining the confidence and support or the people; That q ma. reform of the tariff. to lessen the tribute t9 trusts and greedy combina- tions of capital, and to relieve the ex- action upon consumers, there is J no doubt. But that majority Is not all In one party and it is not Represented by the majority in Congress, least of all in the Senate, where, not the peo- pie, but the States and the trusts are represented. Before there Is a gem uine reform of the tariff there must be re-drawing of party lines but which party will be on one side and (which on the other seems now to be uncertain. Names gre not likely . to be discarded or changed but Repubi- cans appear quite as likely to be the | ttarin reformers of the future as Dem ocrats. who are now selling their birthright for mess of pottaEe.

wo0ld give Solomon himself a case of dodgins and side-stepping. The chances are that he will please nobody in this matter. The North carolinians believe. as firmly as they believe in the value of peanuts, that a Declaration of In- dependence was promulgated at Meek lenburg more than a year prior to ths Philadelphia deliverance. and you couldn't get this belief out of them with mallet and chisei. It Is part of their articles of faith. and any one who attempts to discredit the claim will be put down as a specimen of mopumentai ignorance and obduracy. as MT. Taft himself win learn if he butts his head against that stone wall of North Carolina faith.
 But on the other hand he will be no better of if he falls In with the North Carolina idea and adds the weight of his character and position to sustain the Mecklenburg claim. He may not only assure them of his full belief in the soundness of their com tention. but may produce facts, figures and historical data to place Mecklen- burg in the forefront as the place where the idea and plan of American Independence was conceived and deIiv- cred to the world.
 This. we say, would make him solid with the old North state~and its in- habitants, and bind them to him with hooks of steel that no human power could loosen. but how about othersf In South Carolina and Virginia they get their backs up whenever the Meek lenburg matter is mentioned and de- clare that no such declaration was ever conceived, executed or promulgated in North Carolina or any other part of the habitabie globe. either in 1775. or at any other period of recorded his- tory. If the President falls in with the North Carolina claim, and makes them believe that 1t Is historically in- he may as WClA Cut OOuth Carolina and Virginia out of his list of visiting acquaintances.

North Carolina believes in the Declara- ton, the others repudiate it, and how can he make himself solid with both !? He can't do 1t. and our advice would have been to plead sickness. prior en- agreements or something else and stay away from the celebration. That way. and that way only. lay safety.

1,,. uol,anaers are q philosophical

The Hollanders are philosophical people. They hoped and prayed that their young queen would present them with a prince, but when she agve birth to a girl baby--and a very small one they tubilated over the event just the same, and could not have expressed much greter joy and satisfaction if the young one had been boy. What they wanted was an heir to the throne SO as to have &n onset against any claims Germany might put forward and as the succession to the Dutch throne descends to a female as well as a male they feel that they have something to be happy over. and we suppose they ars austifiable in their joyful expression of qualification at what is at least partial fulfillment of their hopes and desires. As a matter of fact. they would rejoice if for no other reason than that the birth of an heir is a disappointment to the Germans.

This h My 66th Birthday
Albert A. Pope.

Albert A. Pope. the pioneer in the development of the bicycle industry in the United States, was born fiji Boston. May 20, 1e43, and received his educa- tion in the public schools. Family res verses compelled him to earn his liv- ing at comparatively early age. At IS he was employed as a porter in the public market in Boston. In 1882 he went to the front as Second Lieuten- ant of a Massachusetts infantry regi- ment and served until the close of the war. Returning to Boston he opened a small establishment to deal in shoe Manufacturers' supplies. He first saw a bicycle at the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876 and two years later he gave the first order for bicycles to be manufactured in the United States. In a few years his company became foremost in the bicycle industry, with the main plant in Hartford, Conn, and branch factories in a number of other cities. Later, when the popularity of the bicycle began to wane. Colonel Pope embarked in the manufa ire os automobiles and soon became one of the leaders in that industry in Amer ica.
