In many respects the qualities
which commended Benton to the PEG
pie Of Missouri and caused them to
keep him in the Senate for so many
years, where he arose to be easily
the greatest statesman of his day in
the Middle West, are to be found in
the present junior Senator from the
state. Neither wal a native Mis-
sourian, but each went to the state
to make his career and there sue
ceeded in having his merits reeog-
nized. But it is in their fighting quail
tiles that the parallel between the
two men is most to be noted. Fear
formed no part OF the character Of
Thomas H. Benton, and the makeup
of James A. Reed might be analysed
with a microscope and put to the acid
test and no trace Of It would be found
Reeds predecessor in the Senate in
the days before the war was a great
tribune Of the people and a champion
Of their rights. and It is on the same
side that Jim" Reed is always found
battling. When he feels that the
cause which he represents is a just
n there is nothing which Reed en-
Joys more than he does in fighting
for It. In fact, it is a keen delight to
him. Other men may find pleasure
or relaxation in various forms Of
amusement. but he takes his diver.
sion in hunting his opponent in er'
o to his lair. 1t is no sham battle
which Reed puts up when he enters
a contest. Rather is Il a fight to a
finish, and woe is the lot OF the en-
envy who gives him the smallest open

important matters Is remarkable. he

measures. Moreover, he has the abil-

In the early days Of the republic when manufactures and indus

tive tariff might have had its use in establishing these businesses on,

hand crude, but since that time our worknen have been able to so
perfect themselves in the mechanical arts that a days work here is
almost as much as European workman ean accomplish in a week.
