THE CELEBRATED TRIO.

THE CELEBRATED TRIO.
Forver Governor Folk replies to tn
interrogatories propounded by MI
Bryan to Democratic presidential as
pirants in a way to show that he i!
in perfect agreement with the peer
less leader on all the issues the latter
thinks will enter into next years cam
paign. What Mr.. Bryan approves hi
approves; what he opposes, he opposes
The country will neither be surprised
nor much interested. Mr.. Folk is in
debted to Mr. Bryan for his present
prominence, and shows gratitude at
least in standing witE him as to what
the party in national convention
should declare for.
Mr.. Folk opposes, as Mr.. Bryan
does, consideration of the element Of
protection in revising the tariff" This
probably means that had Mr.. Folk
been a member of the house he would
have voted against putting a duty on
raw wool. That duty was opposed by
a number of Democrats in caucus, but
accepted by them after majority had
approved. Does Mr.. Folk criticise
that action? Mr.. Bryan does. In his
latest attack on Chairman Underwood
he again refers to it, and describes it
as the camers nose. He seems to
fear that the animal will soon be in
side the partys tent, and in full pos
session.
Mr.. Bryan recommends an open
caucus on tariff matters. Publicity,
he thinks, would hold the Democratic
legislators up to their campaign prom
Uses and the party's platform. But he
forgets that in the revision of the
Dingley law number of Democratic
senators and representatives, with the
Denverp latform first in their minds,
openly voted for protection duties.
Publicity had no terrors for them.
When voting time came in congress
they put aside their party's creed and
their individual campaign deliver
ances, and protected the industries in
which their constituents were inter-
ested. But that is protection" Re.
publican senator suggested to Mr..
Daniel of Virginia when the latter pro-
posed an amendment to the Payne bill
then under discussion. Call it what !
you please" replied the Virginian,
who had on the stump always in
Weighed against protection. my con.
,tituents want it, and I'm for it."
An open caucus would not cure
What Mr.. Bryan deplores, says the
Star. The trouble is
greater and deeper than that. Party
platforms seldom mean what they say.
IN the tariff particularly they have
'een ENORMOUSLY misleading. The
Democratic platform of 1892 was
mashed by some of the very men who
ad stood on it and obtained office.
he Denver platform was openly
louted by some of the men who had
elped prepare it. The denunciations,
eneral and specific, of the Payne law
ldulged in last year read strangely
4 the light of what is now being pro-
osed in the way of revision. II
Mr.. Folk may not app rebate the full

ever served in congress. But Mr..

BY what possibility could the United

Senator Work, Of California, made

thing for the general government ia
the way Of charity. The Southern
States have been taking care of their
soldiers who are deserving and in need
and they count pleasure to support
these men without federal help. The
pension business has been carried to a
wild excess in the North and from
present indications several generations
to come will bear the burden. 1t is sad
to relate that it has been for years and
is still menace TO congressman and
one which they are generally afraid to
oppose though they know ard feel it
is wrong and an unjust burden upon the
taxpayers of the country. A Congress
man with several thousand pension
ers in his district is forced to vote for
any and all measures increasing
pensions for to oppose any requests
made for pensions mesns political re-
tirement. One would think that with
the liberality with which the federal
government has dealt with its soldiers
they would be well cared for but still
there is n demand for more and more.
1t Is estimated that with the bill hich
recently passed the lower house of
Congress, known as the dollar day
pension bill, the pen sion appropriation
Will be Increased $15,000,000. 1t has
been forty-six years since the surrender
at Apromaltox and yet the pension
appropriations are larger than ever
before. Thousands Of old soldiers die
every year but Uncle Sans pension
bills get bigger the further we get from
the great war and the more soldiers
that die.
1t is right and proper that the gov
ernm ent should care for it's disa bled
and needy soldiers but there is "a limit
beyond which even governmental gen
erosity should cease in justice to the
Taxpayers.
