 Such an assertion does not reflect favorably upon the hones y or fairness of the candidate of the Bull Moose party but rather reflects upon his ig- norance: to make us wonder if ignor- ance is contagious like the hookwcrm disease and that the American people are becoming more and more as the cracker jaks of Georgia and Florida, the most ignorant people in the world place alcohol the free list while they shout for a tariff and prove that they are the free traders and not the followers of old Hickory Jackson who have faith in the old slandered and vilified but unterrified Democracy to make the American people one har- T11onious happy family and the House of Congress of worthy brothers that posterity will point to with pride and history will write their names the noblest works Of God.

 FREE TRADE BUGABOO
Danburx. Oct. 10. 1912

Danbury, Oct. 10, 1912
 Editor of the Farmer, Sir:-
 ''It is not surprising to me that the public press has never even noticed that islander heaped upon the Demo- cratic party for a generation that it was a believer in free trade. The islander was seemingly so ridiculous and absurd that it was universally considered a bugaboo. Republican poll iticians are even now coming forth to tell of the people who lived in South Carolina in 1892 tha wanted the mar kets of the world for their cotton as the American market at that time was a limited one and western boun- dary was Ohio. There is no aristoc- racy in South Carolina now that i5 founded on black slavery and the peo- pie of the South care more for the American market for cotton than all the markets in the world : 1t together. Nevertheless the president of the Uni- ted States is fighting the people ot South Carolina to have them respect the federal tariff laws and it is mani- festly unfair to connect these aristo- crate of slavery with the Democratic party of 1882 and unfair to dis credit the views of President Jackson on the tariff. He believed in the tar if for revenue only and not for the protection of grafters who have wruns

 As the two men drew thus closer and closer together, Stuart's bearing toward Nan became guarded, and at last their relations strained She met his new at titude with deep resentment and grow ing wonder. Her firm conviction was that he had become interested in an- other woman. From the first she had suspected Harriet Woodman, and had inevitably linked her coming with Stuart's change of feeling.
 With the liberal use of money she made the acquaintance of a member of the chorus of the grand opera com pany who agreed to report to her every movement in Harr1et's life.

 Without a word he went below and asked the doctor to call Stuart.
 When his old friend entered he took his hand quietly, and for once in his life the little, black, piercing eyes were swimming in tears as he spoke.
 You're 6 great man, Jim, and, what's bigger. you're a good one. If God will forgive me for the foolish things said and did I'll try to make 1t up to you, old boy. Is it all right?"
 Stuart's answer was 8 nod, a smile and a. pressure of the hand. aa%
 When they were back in New York the stirring scenes of Virginia brought Stuart more and more into intimate personal relations with Bivens, and he had taken advantage of the fact to draw away from his wife. He ceased to see Nan alone. Bivens' increasing devotion made this easy, and on Har- riets return from Europe with an en- gagement as understudy in grand opera his life settled down once more to the steady development of his 1Q6a1 Ol SGENAC0 lO lAS COH4AAOA pOOPAC.
 Scarcely day passed without bring ing to the young lawyer some remind CT of Bivens' friendship. Two great lawsuits involving the principles on which the structure of the modern business world rested were begun in the federal courts. At the financier's secret suggestion the more important of these was placed in Stuart's hands. Bivens hoped to beat the government in this suit, but in case the people should win he wanted Stuart to have the honor. .- ....
