BRYAN AS AN ECONOMIST"

When Secretary of State Bryan APP
peared before the appropriations COM
mittee Of the congress last January to
explain the needs of his department
be said:
II was determined that there would
be one department that would be run
on less than it was before, IL l could
bring it about. and the cost is S120
less than it was last year.
And Mr.. Bryan then. as now, was
training with those whose chief stock
in trade is an accusation against re-
publicans OF extravaganza. All he
could save was s120 in one year in his
department.
But To- his friends of the senate APP
pTopriations committee. keeping close
TO him meanwhile. tackled onto the
appropriations bill an item of new
assistant secretary at $4,000 year.
and two clerkships at 1880 each-so
tina. even the s12o saving vanished and
was swallowed up.
And Mr. Bryan is pleading for the
same sort Of Economists to be given
authority In Iowa that have demon
stratsd how they do 1t in Washington
By adding millions to national expendi-
lures and piling up new taxes.

REPUBLICAN NEXT PRESIDENT.

Republican gains characterize the
elections throughout the entire coun-
try excepting the south. where there
is no republican party and where
there can be none for a number of
years.
Republicans make a large gain in
the house of congress.
The voters throughout the country
have learned that any approach to
free trade is dangerous.
The reader will discover that the
republican gains have been in the old
er sections of the country where
many thousands of men have been
thrown out OF employment, not by the
war, but by the low tariff The coun-
try will learn the lesson to a greater
degree during the coming two years.
OF course, during that period there
can be no change in the tariff. The
free traders will continue to hold a
majority in both houses of congress.
but IL is safe to assert that there will
be no more efforts on the part Of the
democrats In the line of what Wilson
calls his new freedom"
