To be Tail of Hearst,s Kite.

New York, April 6.-The national
democracy can amalgamate with the
Hearst independence lesgue only BY
accepting dictatiou from Fl :srst. Thu t
is the way local democratic leaders de-
fine the lelt.r sent by W. r. Heart tell.
ing just how far John Temple Graves
was lu.hol'z.d to go when he raised The
HARMON, Fl sarst, and harmony banner.
Hearst claims that In New York ne has
destroyed Tannsny Hall. This, Tam
msDy leaders declare emphaticslly to-
day, Is 8 lie.
The declaration on that line is read as IN
announcement that, at the coming pril. 're7,
he and his followers will try to capture the
Tammany machinery and Charles F. Murphy
and his associates are slready working to
guard against that. They read between he
lines in Hearstis statement that he is trying to
form on alliance with the upstate democracy
and capture the state machine. Tammany
admits if the Hearst plans are we'll financed

October of last year, against the Vile

sustained compound fracture OF the
fifth vertebrae. In other words, his
back was broken. In most cases of this
kind, death is almost instantaneous.
But the hearty young athlete lived and strug-

was performed and the pressure relieved from

An Open Letter to Con-
gresham Howard,
of Alabama
THOMSON, Ga, August /, 1910.
Hon. N. ". H0aca2d,
Fort Gaines. Ala.


DEAR Mr.. HOWARD y ours received. T GER
talnly did not know that you had voted for
the Dingley Bill and were a High Projections
1st. In view of the fact that the Ocala Plat
form and every subsequent platform contained
the declaration that the necessities of life
should be on the free list I don't see how in
the world you ever claimed to be Populist
In principle Mr.. Dingey himself used to cry
out IN disgust at the greed of the manufac-
turers who were demanding and getting those
outrageous duties which enable them to rob
other industries.
Answering your question, will say that after
Senator German had placed his eleven hun
dred amendments on the Wilson Bill, it be-
came as Infamous as Cleveland termed it.
The fact however, that it did provide for a
graduated tax on the net incomes of the rich
made it better law than the Dingley Bill.
You have explained to your people why
you put tax of 165 per cent. on blankets,
and of $50 per cent on the poor mans over
coat. Have you told them that, on common
wearing apparel, the Dingley Bill put tax
OF more than 100 per cent! You know, as
well as do, that the tariff compels the people
to pay two or three prices for every rag of
clothing they buy. For the benefit of a few
rich manufacturers, the unprotected millions
are taxed from head to foot, and from cradle
TO grave.
The Steel Trust has declared a profit of
more than S4O,0O0,00O on the business of the
last few months: that's more money than the
si~teen million people engaged IN agricultural
pursuits qcW clear this year.
Like other Republicans, you pretend that
the tariff is made for the benefit of the labor
ing man. Why, then, can the few thousand
manufacturers pile up net profits of more
than two thousand million dollars per year
when our laboring classes are in such a dread
full condition, and our farmers are so hard
run? In practically every one of my North
ern exchanges there is daily evidence Of the
distress among the workmen. Some starve,
some commit suicide, some go to begging, 9th
ers are driven to crime. This damnable pro
tective system is one of the main causes of the
terrifying inequalities in the distribution of
property. The corporations are hogging the
entire national increase in wealth. Few of
our merchants are doing more than swapping
