YOU HAVE AMPLE REMEDIES.

Government is informed of a new
anesthetlc that absolutely kills all pain.
Everything coming our way. Might
scatter little around until the tariff
argument is ended. New York Herald.
And a great deal more after the tar
iff bill becomes a law. The pain the
country is suffering during the argu-
ment is only anticipatory; that it will
be called upon to endure after the new
schedules become effective will be real
and agonizing. Norfolk Virginian-Pilot
Of course that part of the country
which is now undergoing anticipatory
suffering is the low tariff Democrats,
who always belong to the calamity brig
ade. And we doubt not that their pains
will be truly agonizing after the new
tariff schedules, arranged according to
the sound judgment of the intelligent
Republican leaders so as to raise suf-
ficient revenue and amply protect Amer
lean industries, go into effect. But we
suggest to our run-mad anti-protection
Norfolk contemporary that the low tariff
Democrats can find abundant remedies
for the relief of their agonizing pains,
and they are written in the Democratic
pharmacopoeia. There is DR.. Daniels
chestnut bark extract, DIR. Lassiter's
peanut oil, and DR.. Saunders concen-
trated nicotine. These, with other rem
edies we might mention, ought to re-
lieve the most violent attack of Demo
cratic free trade colo.

GREAT DEMocRATS ARE DEAD.
Party Lacks Leaders On The Present FIuht
In Congress.

New York Mail.
With apparently no one but the Hon.
Joseph Weldon Bailey to represent the
principles, the economic policies and the
honor of the Democratic party, one be-
comes conscious of the recent awful
mortality among the great Democrats.
Grover Cleveland is dead. That is
very apparent. Controlling votes have
been cast by Democrats at the present
session of Congress against about every
principle and policy that Cleveland
stood for.
Those two great Southern Democrats
OF full ststesmenlike stature, John 7.
Morgan and Edmund w. Pettus. are
dead. L. Q. c. Lamar is dead. Will
liam L. Wilson is dead; nobody could
doubt that at the present moment.
That fine Missourisn of eloquent and
human speech, George G. Vest, is dead.
John M. Palmer, Illinois grand old
Democratic patriot, is dead. A. G.
Thurman, Ohio's noble Roman is dead.
The crafty but wise German is dead.
William E. Russell, the pure and fear
less psladian of Massachusetts, victori-
GUS young Democracy, before whom the
bars of party opposition fell like reeds.
Is dead. James c. Carter, the peer of
the jurists and publicists of the past, is
dead.
We shall not extend the sad list. All
the great Democrats seem to be dead.
What has the party left in Congress?
Mainly pitiful lot of temporizers and
demagogues, of assistants of organized
influence, of sorry apologists for the
continual surrender Of their own prin-
ciples.
The ghosts of the great men whose
names we have mentioned, or their
painted portraits on the walls, would be
worthier representatives of the cher
ished principles of their party than they.

Says the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
General Corbin says he made Presi-
dent Taft. Tom Platt says he made
Roosevelt. Now guess, children, who
made W. ]. Bryan" Judging from
Mr.. Bryan's composite political con-
struction a good many persons must
have had hand in making him.-Rich-
mond News Leader.
We wonder if our brilliant Richmond
contemporary did not place some of the
marks of its plastic hand on 1.-THE com
posite political construction" as they
journeyed in company to the devil last
year. Surely our contemporary would
not entirely lose the opportunity to
make its impress on such chameleon
character as Bryan's.

St- LOUIS Globe-Demoorat.
The Conservative" Democrat is a
rare study. This session of Congress.
including the regular and special terms.
has shown us Democrats in both houses
who have opposed the Republican plat
form claim that, in revising the tariff, a
reasonable profit" for the American
manufacturer should be added to the
rate found after estimating the total
cost of foreign goods to be imported.
This opposition is not sound, since ad-
uniting foreign goods into domestic
competition on an absolute equality
would be practical free trade, and nc
Democrat will admit that he is q free
trader.
Some of them are, but they are inva-
riably of the radical" wing of the
party. The inconsistency of the "con-
sentative" Democrat is seen in the fact
that, while he denies the wisdom anc
justice of laws to assure the manufact.
urer a reasonable profit, he is most in.
sistent in demanding that no law, state
or national, shall deprive railroad cor
porations, or other corporations, of such
profit. He insists that all laws shall
be drafted with view to making it DOS.
sible for corporate investors to make 8
reasonable profit upon their invest
ments.
And while he denounces a plan to vest
the officers of the government with
power to determine what a reasonable
profit in manufacturing should be, he
denounces, with equal heat, every effort
made by officers of national or state
governments to ascertain the legitimate
cost of corporation management and to
lay down laws drawing lines between
that figure and the one they shall charge
the public for their service. Such in.
constituencies as this have made the
Democratic party d joke. The mer
guilty of them seem never to see them,

surdity. Meanwhile their party is DIV.

Mr.. GILLESPIE WILL ACCEPT.
Virginia Republican.

Virginia Republican.
There has been considerable specula-
ton of late among the press of Virginia,
and especially with the papers at the
national capitol as to who will be the
first to announce themselves as an as
pirant for the Republican nomination
to make the race for governor.
Every few days brings forth new
name and if such reports were in the
least correct, and all the gentlemen
mentioned in connection with this office
should go before the convention seek
ing to be nominated, it is doubtful if a
soothsayer could tell when the conven-
ton would adjourn.
There seems to be general demand
coming from all parts of the State for
Mr.. A. P. Gillrspie to make the race.
and realizing this demand, he has con-
sented to make the race, and will 90
before the convention as an avowed as
pirant for the nomination. When Mr..
Gillespie was proposed at the begin
ming as the most suitable man upon
which the gubernatorial honor should
fall, he much preferred that another
should be named, as his business mat
tiers were such that he did not feel that
he could sacrifice the time which would
be consumed in the campaign. There
has never existed the slightest doubt
that when the Republican party named
its candidate, whoever it might be. but
that he would be elected. The determ-
nation of Mr.. Gillespie to make the
race. will add strenth to his candidacy
and no doubt assure his nomination at
the convention by reclamation. We
fully believe that the naming of the
Tazewell county gentleman is equiva-
lent to an election.

Oh, HOW SHOckINGl

In the news columns of the News
Leader We notice that the Democrats of
Richmond are disturbed over the report
that some of the election officers for the
coming primary will not cast their votes
IN the primary. And the News Leader
says:
The report has also reached the COM
mittee that in the city hall there are
employed men who never pay their poll
taxes, although they are receiving their
salaries from the city Of Richmond. 1t
is explained that these are men who
take advantage of the constitutional
suffrage clause which exempts ex-Con-
federate veterans
If this exhibition of a lack of good
citizenship is SO shocking to the News
Leader and the othordox Democrats of
Richmond, how will our contemporary
feel when it will be forced to support a
man for Attorney General of Virginia
who has availed himself of the advan-
tage of the constitutional suffrage
clause, which exempts ex-Confederate
veterans from the prepayment of their
poll taxes, and who permitted himself
to be posted on the delinquent insolvent
tax list for the non-payment of these
taxes?

WHEN RI6HT7

The Lynchburg News, in its eager
ness to have Mr.. Bryan regarded as not
being severely critical of the Democra-
cy of those Democratic Senators and
Congressman who voted for protective
duties on raw materials, has again be-
come very laudatory of the Nebraskan.
In its present controversy with the
Richmond Times-Dispatch the News de-
MES that Mr.. Bryan has said that Sena-
tor Daniel and other Democrats have
repudiated the Denver platform and
voted for protection. The News quotes
In support of its contentious the follow
ing from the Commoner:
The Democrats, on the contrary.
are demanding reductions and the Dem
ocrstlc member who votes against de-
crease is the exception rather than the
rule Even in such cases, the Demo-
Gratis who voted against reductions have
voted for low rate instead of high
rate"
How does this square with Mr.. Brv-
ans recent declarations which are az
follows:
The Democrats who voted against
free lumber have
Voted to repudiate the national plat
form of the Democratic party;
Voted to encourage the destruction Of
our forests;
Voted to raise the price Of one of the
chief necessaries of life;
Voted to tax a material that enters
into multitude of industries. and thus
to place an unnecessary burden upon
these industries;
Voted to tax the people of the whole
country for the benefit of a compare
lively few owners of timber lands. and
Voted to tax majority of their own
constituents for the benefit of minor
ity of those constituents.
And the following was also sent out
by Mr.. Bryan as a warning to his fol-
lowers:
Democratic voters, you cannot be-
gin too soon to select candidates for
Congress. In about a year the cam
paign will be on and upon that cam
paign will largely depend the hope of
the party in 1912. Let those Democrats
who believe in pure and undefiled De-
tmocracy get together in each district
and pick out Democrat who cannot be
bought or frightened. The trusts have
stealthily secured control of some of the
Congressman who were elected as Dem
ocrats, and they will have the conf
dence of the trusts in securing renomi-
nation.
No time is to be lost; now is the
time to organize the real Democrats To
secure Congressman whose Democracy
is real"
If Mr.. Bryan did not have Senators
Daniel and Simmons, Congressmer
Glass, Saunders, Lassiter, Maynard anc
Lamb in mind when he promulgated
this warning, will the News please name
the men he was talking about.

the bequest of 800 to her by Private

der, but he revered this gentle woman
as ''the friend of all soldiers" From
his little savings the poor fellow who

times a millionaire, knowing that she
will dispose of the money in way to
do the greatest possible good to the
men of his own rank in the army. 1t is
an episode which can not be considered
without tender thought of the dying
man who was helped in his last mo-
ments by the grateful thoughts of a
woman known to him only by the repute
of her good deeds for his own kind.

HOW THINGS CHANGE.

Most persons will remember that in
the memorable campaign of 1896 the
Democrats, with Mr.. Bryan as their
leader, talked principally about the
down trodden farmer. We heard moth
ing then about the consumer OF the high
price of living. Things were too cheap
and the purchasing power of a dollar
was too great. The remedy suggested
for the then existing evils was an un-
limited supply of cheap silver dollars.
We hear nothing now from our Dem
ocratic friends about the suffering
farmer. He is not even classed with
that mythical distressed consumer.
Occasionally, perhaps, some thoughtless
scribbler may suggest that farm ma
chinery is too high, made so by a pro-
tective tariff, but such a statement ia
laughed at by the farmers as they look
upon the splendid prices they are re-
celvlng for their products.
The value of farm products in the
United States have nearly doubled since
Mckinley was first elected President.
1t is estimated that the products of
American farms this year will exceed
S., COO, 900, 900. We near no more cries
about the poor farmer Ten millions
of farm mortgages have Leen paid off
in this country in the last ten years;
and the farmers have become the most
independent, as they have always been
the most useful, class of citizens.
The farmers have reached this happy
condition under the financial and tariff
policies of the Republican party. If so
much that is good can come to agricuI-
turists from sound money and protec-
ton policies, have not all classes of citi-
zens been helped by these policies?

Not great while ago the Lynchburg
News had quite = different estimate of
Mr.. Bryan That was in 1904. when
Mr.. Bryan had made a violent attack
upon Judge Parker and other leaders of
the party. Then the Lynchburg News
published the following editorial in its
columns:

rs HE DERANGED?''

That was remarkable performance
at Cooper Union in New York, Monday
night, when William ]. Bryan, twice
nominated by the Democratic party as
its candidate for President of the United
States, stood before a miscellaneous
audience and blackguarded the most
conspicuous Democrat now mentioned
for the Presidential nomination. 1t was
a scene never before enacted since the
Republic was founded and one which
for the sake of decorum and decency. it
may be hoped will never have a repeti-
ton while the Republic endures. For
lack of dignity, for stark unwisdom. for
an exhibition at once humiliating and
deplorable, this public appearance of
Mr.. Bryan's takes precedence of any,
thing which has gone before or shall
even follow it. Not content with the
extraordinary honors heaped on him by
the Democratic party; unmindful of the
dignity which should control the actions
and characterize the utterances of a
public man who has been exceptionally
trusted. the Nebraskan went all the
way from Omaha to New York to To-
ment strife by protesting the action of
sovereign State in having declared for
the nomination of a favorite son. 1t
was piece of impertinence to begin
with and it ended in diatribe of coarse
vltuperation and SANDER that ought to
forever settle Mr.. Bryan's status. 1t
well may be inquired if Bryan still re-
tains his mental balance in degree that
entities him to be considered sane"
Was the Lynchburg News sincere in
its estimate of Mr.. Bryan in 1904, or is
it sincere now?
