CHAPTER KIN.
PURSUIT.

My work at Elizabeth was done.
Whatever mystery this house contained,
whatever the secrets of the Kingdoms
and the Lawfences. my business was
not with them. 1 had only to return
to New York n place this message in
Burr Curtiss' hands. I would counsei

spite would be wise Tor both of them;
they would be calmer, more Self-con-

sensibly what must be the one crisis
of their lives. But a great load was

impossible could stand between them.
So they would win through. at last.
Cheered at this thought, 1 left the
house and made my way to the hotel.

P. S.-Seely endeavored to put look of

that he fixed up the Pond letter, and kept

Some Political History

Mr.. Louis Post, in recent number of The
Public, makes the assertion that Bryans cam
paign of 1896 "was incontestibly the first
great battle at the polls between democracy
and plutocracy"
1ncontestibly?
Why, the very nomination of Bryan was
caused by the great fight which we Pops had
made in 1892. We not only rolled up more
than a million votes for James B. Weaver,
but we polled 100000 votes in the Stateelec-
tons of 1894
This advance of Populism made it neces-
sary for the Democratic managers to side
ton by the fusion movement of 1896.
In fact, the Southern politicians and editors
were so elated by the ruin brought upon us,
by the nomination of Bryan, that they openly
and loudly boosted of how they had ''buried
the damned Populist party"
But wasn't the Greenback movement of the
Seventies also "great battle between democ-
racy and plutocracy"

j. TX. billiards Paper Will Be
StODDed

From Camilla Ca, the above named writes
me most obscene letter requesting that we
discontinue his paper. He is furiously angry
at me because Of my espousal of the cause of
the inmates of the Soldiers Home, near At
lanta.
[ would publish Mr.. billiards typewriter
letter, were it not so shoczingly indecent.
He could be prosecuted and punished for send
eng such offensive matter through the mails.
Does Mr. Hilliard think that the State
should pay for a0hishey for DR.. Foe? Isn't it
the opinion of Mr.. billiard that Force should
have been succeeded by Miller-aCh0 beat one
Of those old soldiers to death, q fen gears
ago.?
Does Mr.. Hilliard think it was right for
the management to throw Few into the streets,
after Force had beaten him nearly to death?
Does Mr.. billiard indorse the conduct of
the management which compels those Vet
Grams to clean out the spittoons, to carry the
coal, to buy their own kindling- wood?
Perhaps, if DR.. Fox didn't feast so often
and SO sumptuously, out at the Home, and
drink so much liquor at the States expense,
he mi ht allow those old men some hghtwood
splinters.
Tip Harrison is heartily welcome to such
a champion. [ am truly sorry that he ever
got into the reading circle of our JEFFs And
it gives all of us genuine pleasure to show
him the door.
If Mr.. Hilliard has been a reader of this
paper as long as he claims, he has learned
from it that my wife opens and handles all of
my mail: if he is gentleman he will realize
the enormity of his breach of the rules of
good breeding. He might have ordered his
paper stopped, without indulging in the stale
and obscene illusions which properly belong
to the vocabulary of the black guard.

Our circulation has grown to such proper
tons, and we have to print so many of the
Watson books, that our two big presses are
unable to keep up. We are already badly be-
hind in the matter of publishing the books.
Consequently, we must have a press which

We are negotiating for one, and will install
it as soon as possible.

Another Tariff Talk-The COnfiSca-
ton Feature
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE

consider the tariff on tin. [ was a member
OF the Congress from which William B.
Leeds secured the enactment of a duty on
foreign tin. I heard the imprisoned speech
which Williams, of Illinois, delivered in
favor of it, [ saw him when he absented
himself for moment, and returned from the
corridor with a glossy square block of pig
tin which he, with some difficulty and redness
of face placed upon his desk He triumph
antly pointed to it as conclusive evidence that
Leeds was really producing tin manufactures.
That was in 1898. Leeds died the other day
and, without expressing any opinion as to
whether he went straight to Heaven or He'll,
| will simply mention the fact that his
widows little wad is said to be thirty million
dollars.
He got it by compelling every citizen Of
this country who had to buy tin vessel of
any kind to pay several prices for it. The
sewing girls thimble, the laborer's dinner
pail, the milk pan, the wash-pan, the drink
ing cup, the coffee pot-every single article
of tinware on the American continent cost
those who paid for it, at least four times as
much as the tinware of England was selling
for in Europe.
The fortune which Leeds left represented
the value to him, individually, as a private
citizen, the power which Congress had given
to him to confscate portion of the bread
winners wages, the employees salary, the
professional mans income, and the farmers
hard earned revenue
To the extent that you and I were COM
PEELED to pay to Leeds greater price for his
tinware than would have been extorted from
us by the natural laws of supply and demand,
we were robbed Our money was confscated
to his use, and we got nothing whatever by
way of compensation.
And remember that while Leeds was con-
fscating to his private use, under the forms
of Law, thirty million dollars that belonged
to his fellow citizens, the foreigner who paid
tariff duties at our Custom houses, and added
them to his original price, confscated other
