FINDS IS BILL IN THE PACKAGE

John Grant PegE. city inspector Of
weights and measures. has all the other
city officials in a Jealous humor.
Mr. Pegg went to the police auction and
bid in for $40 a package that Melted him
a large sum. In the package he found 4
s. bill. several ~valuable pieces Of jewelry'
a revolver that he sold at once for ~.
and a rattle ticket for a fresh COW that
carried the winning number. The ticket
had been bought some time ago. but the
rattle did not come of until Thursday
night.
Peer tried 10 sell the COW and her calf
to street Commissioner Flynn, who also
held a ticket. Flynn refused to buy unless
Pegg would also give him his famous
rabbit heel with the extra toe on t. This
Pegg would not give up, but while they
were arguing some mischievous person
went into Pegs office and got away with
some q the jewelry he had bought, which
was lying on his desk.
Assistant Gas Commissioner Butler was
blamed by Pegg for putting up a job to
attract his attention, which Butler angrily
denied. Thus matters stood Friday morn
ms. with Mr.. Pegg still in a bitter mood,
when the mail man brought him the fol-
lowing letter:
Friend PeRE. i herewith return your
ring. I cannot imagine how I was tempted
to take II. unless I had In mind the pre-
sentati0n OF a token from the democracy
OF Omaha to Governor ShallenbeTger for
all yhat he has done for them.
JOnu, I know In your goodness OF heart.

TOM.
That's Flynn.
That's Flynn" said Pegg when he read
the letter. still Il isn't his writing"
When Flynn was shown the letter he was
inclined to make a rough house, but Mayor
Dahlman. who happened along, quoted
hiln. I know you wouldn't steal any brass
jewelry, Tom" said the mayor soothingly.
Brass jewelry, your grandmother
shouted Pegg. THAT sturf was IS carat
fine. You just look at it, And he pro-
duced some Of The gaudy trinkets.
Let's see Prof. Crowley" said the mayor.
The professor. who is an expert chemist
and assayer, agreed with the mayors dag
nOsis. and Pegg at once withdrew his offer
to sell the COW 20 Flynn. Because he has
a lot OF kids I was going to let him have
the COW cheap. Now III give her to the

Last winter many people felt il would
be well 70 abate somewhat these activities.
But those who had sought to dominate the
American market were not satisfied with
this and determined TO go farther and still
more strengthen this domination. They
seized upon the tariff revision as a means
Of doing so.
The recent tariff struggle was in no
sense a struggle between protection and
free trade, but degenerated into a struggle
between monopoly on the one hand and the
true friends OF protection on the other. As
an Illustration Of this, the men who forced
the tariff bill through congress threw pro-
lection 20 the wind whenever il served
their purpose.
The real issue OF today. SO far as he
tariff Is concerned. Is to protect American
industry. where il needs IL. from foreign
competition and al the same time protect
the American consumer from the unjust
exacuons Of domestic competition.
AS bearing upon the main issue, I re-
fer you 70 the retention Of the coupon fea-
mre IN the tobacco trade. which the senate
struck out but which was put back in con
ference, which could only nave been 20
strengthen the competition"

Senator Noses z. Clapp Of Minnesota,
speaking at a meeting here tonight said
IT was singular that the reactionaries In
congress should characterize those who
stood for the fuIfilment Of their party's
pledge as progressive. but he had no OBJ
lection 70 being a progressive and would
let the reactionaries locate themselves. He
said:
The republican party was founded on
the basic principle that where men
voluntarily associate themselves. so-caned
leaders instead OF debating TO the many
should reflect the purpose and policy Of
the many.
Following the passage OF the Dlngiey
law in 1897. there came a wonderful revival
in our industrial and commercial life. Ac-
~companying that revival, there grew up a
condition where competition was largely
supplanted by combination.
"Thi was not a discovery made BY the
progressives, but was f~oreseen by such men
as Garfield and Sherman.
The American people. observing the
process by which competition was being
eliminated have battled for the last seven
years for the Independence Of the Ameri-
can market
