a sort of American diplomatic free
lance. always at the call OF the state
department. in Latin-American affairs
President Roosevelt sent him as Amer
lean delegate to the second pan-Amer-
ican conference, where again he dis
tinguished himself by his rare tact n
maintaining peace between the squab-
bling Latin-American states. He took
a leading part in negotiations leading
up to the establishment of an interna-
tional court for the settlement of dis
putes between the Central American
states.

Mr. Buchanan was born on a farm
near Covington, Miami county, Ohio,
Sept. 30. 1858, and was educated at a
country school SIt was said that at
one time he worked as a blacksmith.
Inquest Date Set.
London, Oct. 1S.-An inquest into
the death of William /. Buchanan,
the American diplomat, whose body
was found in Park Lane Saturday
night will be held Wednesday. The
investigation thus far has failed to
throw any light on the movements of
the diplomat during the few hours
death. There are no eyi-
dences of assault or robbery and it
is supposed death was due to heart
,louble or an apopletic stroke.

THAT apostle of high protection and
tool of the trusts, Senator Aldrich, 'must
indeed have high regard for the inteli-
gence of the people. In speech in the
Senate last week he made this statement:
Monopoly cannot live under the pro-
lection policy"
This is falsehood that insults the peo-
pie ofthe United States. Every man of
sense knows that protection is the very
thing that develops and fosters monopoly.
The paper on which these words are
printed is product OF monopoly, one of
the greatest trusts in the world Sugar,
steel, lumber, clothing, shoes, glass-oh,
all the necessities OF life are absolutely
controlled by the great monopolies that
have flourished under the protective pol
icy.
Why that's what protection is for.

IN closing the debate on the tariff bill
for the Democratic side, Senator Bailey,
of Texas, made sort of bluff that doesn't
go down with very good grace. Mr.. Bal
ley, as one OF the Democratic leaders, had
fine opportunity TO distinguish himself
by standing up for the people during the
tariff discussion.
But he didn't do it.
On the contrary, there is we'll founded
suspicion that he played into the hands of
Senator Aldrich, and his vote on several
occasions showed that he had more regard
for the trusts than he had for the people.
Bailey is a buffer.

THERE is no doubt that President Taft
has plenty of adipose tissue, but since he
signed that monstrouS tariff bill we have
our doubts about the character OF his
backbone.

really thinks that the new tariff bill was

him stand up and be counted.

THE government statistics show that
the farmers of this country will get over
$4,000, 100000 this year for their crops OF
wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley. The
farmers won't be able to keep great deal
OF it, however, for, after all, the great
trusts and corporationS-the manufactur-
erS that hold up the consumer and extort
such outrageous prices and the railroads
that charge so much for carrying it to
market will get the lions share of the
profits.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill will give
the trusts more than ever, the coming
year.

AFTER signing the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill President Taft issued lame sort of
apology for doing so, in which he says:
81 have signed the Payne tariff bill be-
cause | believe it TO be the result of a
sincere effort on the part OF the Republic
can party to make downward revision,
and to comply with the promises of the
platform as they have been generally I'M
derStood, and as interpreted them in the
campaign before election"
We don't believe that Mr.. Taft believes
this at all.
If the Payne-Aldrich bill is the best that
the Republican party can do to revise the
tariff downward-well, il ought TO be put
out OF power and give some other party
chance.

NOW that the new tariff law has gone
into effect, all that the people have TO do
is to pay the bills-go down into their
pockets and dig out increased prices for
the necessities OF life. And while they
are doing this they don't get single adj
vantage in return.

AS the provisions of the new tariff bill
become better known, il is seen that
where Aldrich couldn't bully an outrag-
eous provision into the measure he has
gotten it there by dishonest trickery.

IT'S dollars to doughnuts that the cor

THE old question, (Which is the moth
er of the chicken, the hen who laid the
egg or the hen that Matched it?" must
now give way to the query, "Who is the
father of the Payne AldriCh tariff bill ?"
1t is true that the original egg was laid
in Payne's committee room, but after AL
drich had brooded over it for couple Of
months its own father-or mother-didn't
know it, and the result is a monstroSity
that everybody is ashamed OF.
1t was bad egg from the first-it turned
out to be an even worse fowl.

COMPLETING THE FUSION.

The acceptance by the Committee OF One
Hundred OF the Republican nominations would
command the approval Of all those Independent
voters whom the citizens movement was sup
posed 20 represent II would, moreover, In
sure complete fusion OF all the substantial ele-
ments in the recent conference Only two or
ganzations have deserted, one persistently re-
current paper party of many names and few
members. which always comes into existence
when n fusion is in prospect and drops out OF
sight the day after election, and the other
Hearsts Independence League. OF the latter's
support the fusion is well rid. Its actual voting
strength is small. It's power TO drive away
votes from any ticket is prodigiOus. Its COM
binatiOn with the Democracy three years ago
was disastrous 10 both. and its combination
with the Republicans year later made large
part OF the Republican party "take TO the woods" ="
On that occasion It put on the ticket for a
judicial Office a lawyer who was subsequently
indicted for extortiOn And this year it was
following the same course, insisting on NOM
mating men for Office who would have alienated
more votes than il could have delivered
When its demands for the lions share Of the
spOils were refused IL withdrew, virtuously
protesting that IL would not enter into ''sCram-
bic for Offices! We sincerely hope that this is
the last time the Independence League will be
invited into an anti-Tammany combination.
What is left of the fusion is all that ever
ought TO have been in it-the Republican party
and the really sincere anti-Tammany element,
partly organized, but for the most part utterly
unorganized To all such there Is abundant evil
dence that the ticket is eminently satisfactory.
Its acceptance by the newspapers which usually
speak for the independent Democrats of this
city has been remarkably cordial. The New
York TimaS'' saws Of it eNamOlo.
Not once in a generation does any party.
union Of parties, offer to it's suffrages a candi
date who more completely fills and meets It's
need and its desert than Mr.. Otto T. Barnard.
who was nominated by the Republican City
Convention yesterday. mayoralty
nomination OF this high quality is indeed. so
superlatives Of praise If It is not an ideal
nomination. we should like 70 know the reason
why.
Zine Evening Post" remarks regarding Mr..
Barnard:
He has had precisely the business training
most needed in the Mayors Office In this Junct-
ure OF the city's affairs. In character he is in
every way fitted TO lead the anti-Tammany fight.
The names OF Mr.. Bannard's two associates
on the ticket Mr.. Prendergast and Mr.. Mitchell,
are equally well received. II is therefore ap-
parent that all the Republicans will have to
do 10 enlist independent citizens heartily in the
coming campaign Is 10 keep the borough and
county tickets up 20 the standard of the city
ticket The nominations on the local tickets
should be from the highest class of Republicans
and Democrats who are available for the Of
fees. Thus the fusion movement will gather
strength and become invincible.
