REPUBLICAN MISRULE CITED. Sulphur Springs, W. Aug. 17. In notifying the Hon.

Henry G. Davis of his nomination by the Democratic National Convention for the vice presidency the Hon. John Sharp "Williams, of Mississippi, said: Mr. Davis Sir: We have been appointed by a most notable convention as a committee to notify you of your nomination by tile Democracy as their choice for Vice President of the United States. We desire to express the pleasure we feel In having been selected to perform this duty and our confidence in you, your faithfulness, honesty and wisdom.

The people see in you one of the best products of the best period of American Institutions, a period whose salient characteristics were local self-government, individuality, equal opportunity and freedom; freedom to work, freedom to buy and sell, freedom to compete in industrial life, resulting In self-dependence, freedom to develop as one's own master and not merely as the well-trained and well-managed Industrial servant of another. They see In you what Oliver "Wendell Holmes said is a rare thins, "a self-made man who Is yet not proud of his maker." Just before leaving home I said that I was going to West Virginia with some others to notify you of your nomination. One of my brother's little boys, stand-. Jng by, aaid "Uncle John, he must be a mighty big goose if he hasn't, heard of It already." In a certain way the notification with which we are charged Is perfunctory and unnecessary, and yet Is well to maintain by some degree of formality that respectful observance which is due to great events. The nomination' by a great party to the great office to which we call you, the vice presidency, carrying with It the duty of presiding over the Senate of the United States and the possibility of succession to tne presidency Is a great event.

Title of Williams' Speech, 'As soon as I learned that I was, by resolution of the convention, to be the mouthpiece of the committee for the performance of this pleasant task, I began to look about me in order to see how the duty had been performed by 'others. I found from recent performances of a similar character in the Republican camp that for a notification speech a historial essay Is altogether the proper tiling, absolutely necessary for the emergency. We shall tb eref otter entitle our notification ad- dress "A Brief Historical Disquisition Upon Some of the Blunders of Our Ancestors as Viewed from the Standpoint of the Wisdom of Republican Statesmen, Who Have Embraced the Strenuous Life." The first of these consisted in discriminating against the red man the Image of God In Cherry on account of his race and color and previous condition. Our ancestors said it was on account of the Inherent or Inherited race traits, tendencies and supposed, incapacities, of which his color was "but the outward sign. Be that claim pretense or sincerity, we found to our astonishment that "the door of opportunity and hope" in the way of office hoi ding: and voting had been closed to Lo, the 'poor Indian.

He was not in- vlted in by the selectmen In Connecticut, by the electors of the self-governing towns In Massachusetts, to help govern our ancestors and the country which they had committed to their charge, nor did our ancestors promise to assimilate (him. The Iliad of Our Woes. This first violation In America of the divine right of manhood suffrage and of the cherished fundamental dogma that all men. of all races are equally capacitated to govern themselves, and especially to govern others, has doubtless been the "Iliad of all our Plainly, it was what the Boston Transcript so eloquently -'calls "colorphobla," We could not ac-. count for It, except, perhaps upon a line of thought suggested by a sentence In the notification address of the permanent chairman of the Chicago Convention.

Informing the President, of his nomination bv the Republican party to succeed himself, 31r. Cannon said: "By blood, by in-' heritance, by education and by practice -we are a self-governing people." Are we to believe that Mr. Cannon meant to intimate, converso, that nobody was of self-governing capacity unless by blood, education or successful practice? If so, it is feared, that he is getting back to our ancestors', blunder, and may incur the danger of receiving the epprobation of some of those benighted creatures known as Democrats. We wonder If our ancestors In New England, New York and Virginia had been stupid enough to 'have some the converse of Mr. Cannon's utterance In their heads, and if they had based their action on the fact that the "noble red man" had none of "the blood" of self-governing races In his veins, none of that subtle force ot "heredity," which accounts' for so much and which is so hard to be accounted for itself.

If they thought that he had not for any sufficient length of time been "educated" for the task of governing white men or had had no "practice" in it, except such as seemed to lead to the conclusion that he was not capable of it. Inconsistencies Pointed Out. The next great blunder In our early hls-torv consisted in their taking up' arms against King George and his forces, when the latter were actuated, as they themselves confessed, only by the kindest designs of "benevolently assimilating" to themselves our resources and our oppor-iintHps You. air. who have a Republican unn.in.

n.n and. tneretore. possess culture by affinity at least.wHl hardly believe that our ancestors were stupid enough to fight against the principle which we so frankly recognize in the Philippines, That it Is perfectly right, self-evidently. proper, tirely different sorts of government, one for ourselves 'at protecting individual, civil and political liberty and pretending to furnish full and equal opportu- nitles for industrial development and another for order "in the colonies" absolute and discretionary in its character and avowedly limiting Industrial development there bv the' necessities of commercial exploitation for the benefit of the "home" merchant and the "home" manufacturer. We know, now, of course, that all our ancestors' talk about "inalienable rights" of self-government "no taxation without habeas corpus and right of trial by jury, freedom, of the press, freedom of speech and freedom of assemblv were only a pretext resorted to bv ranting "insurgents" In order to throw off the "civilized influences" of the best Eovernraent which the world had that far witnessed.

We have not been stupid enough to confine to mere, words our apology for this mistake in our 'history; we have apologized by deeds of confes-. slon It seems strange that we could, as a people, have prospered industrially and otherwise, as wo have prospered so mar-velously, sir, in all our history, both as NOMI Of taxation from one man In nrdprtn hot- house the prosperity of another, has, in some way or other, benefited and both.

In: conclusion! sir prav for war no-twdy can tell what great things war will end. in when once begun.

It might result In making of your chief the first "Em peror ann'i-ora Protector or me western Hemisphere." You would, of course. In that event, as heir-apparent, share his glory. Your legal title might become 'Prince d'Outre Here I know you woufld run som little -risk of having him designate his Secretary of War as his suc cessor, out believe i wouia cnanco n. Besides, peace Is a tame and unstrenuous thing, and "smothers out some of the finest instincts of manhood." Shakespeare said: "In thy right hand carry gentle peace to silence envious tongues Our forefather even down through the times of (Lincoln and Grant, thought this sentiment sound morality and sound policy, for nations, as well as for Individuals. We know now that the right policy is To tread softly and carry a big stick." Heal' War Is Not Hell.

Who was the fool who 6aid, "War is hell." anyhow? My word for It. he never saw real war. Remember above all things that our chief duty as citizens, but especially as rulers, is not to be "weaklings" or "cowards." A weakling, sir, is a strangely domesticated animal who listens before he acts and who weighs evidence before he decides, who modestly venerates great-ness-ln who actually prefers "piping times of peace" to the "pomp a nd clrcumstan ce of glorious war. Weaklings are "men who Tear the strenuous life, the only national life that is really worth the Hving' the life of Crown-Colony-Conquest, the Life Militant, in a word. We are getting to be as a people, your committee is glad to say, splendidly military.

A flag, brass band and a choice collection of epaulets, escorting a Secretary of War to and from the depot In Washington when he augustly leaves or arrives, appeal to the higher flights of our patriotic Imagination, as nothing else does or can. If I have to some degree In these words, speaking for the committee, been your mentor, attribute It In part to my shorter experience on the world's stage and my consequent superior wisdom, but still more to the fact of my close study and assimilation of the wisdom of Republican statesmen, both In and out of the White House. I hold, after mature deliberatlon In common with the "greatest of these and one of the youngest, that youth necessarily insures wisdom because the older a man is the more he has forgotten. It has been a pleasure to us to do our duty, to notify you of your nomination. This has been a Treasure notwithstanding-the fact that yc- had already been.

In a manner notified Hon. Elihu Root, who, while pretendedly notifying Senator Fairbanks, "could not get his mind off'n you." as the darkles say. and whose speech consisted principally In saying: "Go to, thou art an old man," and in bemoaning the fact that you might possibly die before you got to be President. So might he, for that matter. Democratic Presidents Never Killed.

'That would be bad enough, but not as bad as a case I know of the case of a man who was once elected Vice President, and who became President later, "tickled the ars of the groundlings, but made the judicious to grieve." Mr. Root forgot that Democratic Presidents are never killed and that they never die while holding office, although some of them do afterwards. In further comment upon Hon. Elihu Root's notification of your nomination, I will hazard the remark. In repCy to one of exceeding good taste on his part, that It is ibetter to run the risk of incurring, as In due course of the flesh we all must, physical "Inability" than to have heen born with that peculiar mental "Inability for any poJisible task in life which consists of taking ourselves too serlousiy and nobodv else with respect or rever- Vla'real- conclusion, Mr.

Republican Mismanagement.

It is true that the times fhen were gooa, out jl a iaci x-nax, rf-hyfA been no chance in tht party in power, many of the evils prophesied have come under Republican, rule.

The apprehension which now prevails in business circles and the present unsatls-fcAra industrial conditions of the coun try seem to demand a political change. Ho Class Distinction. Tn thft laiuruaxre of our platform, "the i-ferhf of lnhor nTfr certainly no less vest ed, no less sacred and no less inalienable than the rights of capital." The time is opportune to emphasize, the truth of this utterance, xne mosx sacreo ruL ot ji oh-ertv is the right to possess and own one- and the labor of one's own hands- capital ltseit oemg out Bioreo-up iaDor. For years I worked in the ranks as a wage earner, and I know what It Is to earn my living In the sweat of my brow.

I have always believed, and my convictions came from the hard school of experience, that, measured by the character of work he does and the cost of loving, a man is entitled to full compensation for his services. My experience as a wage earner and my association with labor have alike taught me the value, of democratic principles; for In them the humblest has the strongest security for Individual right and the highest stimulus to that Independence of spirit and loe of self-help which produce the finest private characters and form the base of the best possible government. From Surplus To Deficit. The receipts of the Government for the year ending June 30, 1902, the first fiscal year of the present administration, showed a surplus over expenditures of but for the fiscal year ending Jun 3). 1904, instead of a surplus there was a deficit of jn.000,000.

From the 1st of July, 1904, to August 10. or for about a month and a third of the present fiscal year, the expenditures of the Government have exceeded the receipts by Kl.715.0-J). There could be no stronger evidence of the extravagance into which the Republican party has fallen, and no more potent argument in behalf cf a change to the party whose tenets have always embraced prudence and economy in administering the people's Our Republican friends are prone to refer to the great commercial growth of the country under their rule, and yet the census reports show that from ISoO to I860; under rule and the WaJker tariff; the percentage of Increase was greater In population, wealth, manufactures and railroad mileage, the factors which affect most largely prosperity of the country, than In any decade since; Fer Capita Assessment Increases. The cost of government has largely Increased, under Republican rule. The expenditures per capita for the last years, respectively, of the Administrations given, taken from the reports of the Secretary of the Treasury, were as follows: In 1S60, under Buchanan $2 01 In 1893.

In his recent speech of acceptance, said that they know what they mean when they speak of a "stable currencv, "the same thing from year to year," and yet, in the platforms of their party in 1SS4. 1SS8 and 1892, they favored the double standard of value. In the platform of 1SSS they said: "The Republican party is in favor of the use ot ootn gold and sliver as money, and condemns the policy of the Democrat ic -Administration In its efforts to de monetize silver.

WORE HIGH-RECORD PRICES. MARKET AFFECTED BY REPORTS OF DAMAGE TO CROPS. A BIG RISE IN YORK. Chicago, Aug. 17.

September wheat sold at $1.09 on the Chicago Board ot Trade to-day 3Ta4c over yesterday's close. December advanced ac to 51.10-Those prices marked a new record far above all previous so-called high points. Intense excitement attended the trading. The market closed within of top figures for the day in September and 1c for December. Reports of a more alarming outlook for the wheat crop inthe Northwestern States and Canada seemed to turn nearly every Individual In the pit into a frantic buyer.

Cable advices were bullish and they were Indications ot large foreign buying orders in this market. Messages from Korth Dakota were to the effect that many fields that Icos thrifty will not be cut because ot the shriveled condition of the wheat berries, due to the ravages of black rust. Farmers in Minnesota were said to be burning their wheat fields to clear ground for next year's crop. In districts ot Manitoba where the crop promised a few days ago to be twenty to twenty-five bushels to the acre, it will not now, according to yield over twelve. Few reserves wcr; experienced after the buying furor took possession of the crowd, prices mourning rapidly.

The close was strong, but prices were off somewhat from the top through the operations of scalpcrs. A HEAVY ADVANCE In New 'York Is Caused By Rumors of Possible Frost Damage. New York. Aug. 17.

The general market closed 4H to i cents net higher, representing one ot the heaviest single day's advances since' tlm bull movement began. Late dispatches expressed a fear that if frost reached the Manitoba crop it would mean widespread damage, as grain there is now in its critical stage. This fear brought in renewed buying for outside account, and gave the market its impetus when higher prices were reached.

That we are moving and divorcing there is no doubt. Standing now In the dawn of the Twentieth century; having forbidden the reading of the Declaration of Independence in a part of the. country's domain; with courts ready to'declde that the Constitution is not a written letter, to be read and obeyed, but a dancing panorama, "changing Itself to suit changing conditions;" having put our foot down, wisely and firmly, upon freedom. of speech and freedom of assembly and freedom of the press in Colorado and those "appurtenant-appendages," where freedom of speech, press and assembly- might be awkward for us; having Joined the holy alliance of land-grabbing nationalities; having discovered that God's com-piand against robbery and theft" does not apply to men in the aggregate, acting as nationalities, when robbing communities, of their independence or "benevolently assimilating" their resources amid all I these reversals of historical blunders of I our past. I boldly aver that we need not despair of the republic.

i The Tariff Question. True, there are those who say with blind fatuitv that the Dlnirley tariff law did not exist always, that everyone of Its schedules Is not unchangeable to be worshiped, that the Republican party itself wbb not born until a comparatively recent date nnd that yet the country, on the whole has always prospered. They say that Its prosperity was owing to new and cheap lands. Inviting the brawn and muscle of the white men of the: world to their cultivation, skimming from the surface of the human ocean its wave crests of courage and enterprise. They say that it was owing to a magnificent area of free trade, first between the colonies and then between the States ah area that has grown by Democratic-Amer ican expansion or nomes.

institutions ana Industry, and not by Republican-British Crown-Colony-Conquest until it early became larger than any area of untram-meled free trade which exists, or has ever existed, on the earth. They say that- it was due also to our freedom from the tax-burdens of militarism and the con sequent ability to devote our resources. thus saved, to the education ot tne peo ple and to their betterment in home and Industrial life. They point to the fact tnat. even during tne penoa oi our ex istence as colonies that constant move ment of laboring men from the Old World to our shores, which still continues, was going on; that this movement was accel erated after we became a separate sov ereignty on the earth and that it was still more aiter ine rauoiwi Question of the possibility of a dissolu tion of the Union had been finally set tled.

Tney say that this very movement to America of worklngmen, under both high tariffs and low tariffs after we became a Federal Republic, and under no tariffs at ail, as in colonial days, was proor ot uie fact that higher wages have been paid at every stage of our ht3tory. to white men working in fields and factories and mines and forests -in the United States than were being paid to the same white men working In similar pursuits In the bid country. They say that the currents of labor flow, unlike, the currents in our rivers, toward the highest level toward the place where the rate of wages and the standard of llvlnir are hurhest. Thev say these foolish people nearly au Jjem-oc rats that taxes are necessary evils and never in themselves a blessing to be sought for; that there is some element of common sense In the old aphorism of hay ing as little governmental interierenoe with the affairs of men as is possible, consonantly with the protection of life ana liberty ana property, ah oi wnicn illustrates to what helehts of oaloable ab surdity so-called intelligence can climb!

Isolation Versus Reciprocity. I know there are a lot of old-fash' rtnwi it-nf-riAt rjeonle. principal Iv Democrats, who say that the wa tc word of i us ria 1 progress among communities is not isolation ana independence of productivity, but reci-nropftv nnd interdependence: that isola tion leads to feelings of estrangement and enmity among the people; that industrial interdependence constitutes a sort of woria-erceciive aonu to nwp uie j. need not stop to tell you that such men are "mere theorists." One of them might be granted plenary power for a thousand years ana at tne ena oi uiu.l penvu vum THit iin-vA iriven anv change, of occupation to such capitalists and worklngmen in Maine as are, or might be made to be, desirous of raising sun-kissed plants.

How It has happened, since we became a ea-eral nation, the comparatively pauper negro labor of Central Mississippi has not oeen able to run tne nign-pricea wmte labor of Central New York out of the farro-Inc business. I also-cannot understand. Nor can I understand how it is that wages in California should have been for -years two or three times what they were in Maryland, although the products of the comparatively pauper labor of Maryland had free access to California and although tnat comparatively pauper labor itseu was secured tne uonstituuon iiseir in the privilege of migration to and sojourn in California. Stranger yet, the pauper labor of all Europe was dally flocking both to Maryland and California! I again do not understand I doubt even if uncle Joe Cannon himself can fully understand mtrse roousn racis. The Question of "Wages.

Some people have been sillv enough to say that the white man of Central New York need not fear the competition of the black man In Central Mississippi, nor any diminutionr of his wage because of that competition. They say, foresooth, that the -white roan in New York is a more efficient laborer quicker, steadier and more intelligent than the black man in Mississippi; that he does more work in a day, turns out more product in an hour, works more days in a week, is idle fewer weeks in a year, has more self-control, foresight and frugality and, being himself, for these reasons, more prosperous, miakes the community In which he lives more so. These same people are absurd enough to add that the highest priced labor is, as a rule, the cheapest labor, and that the lowest priced labor is, as a rule, the dearest labor, and that, somehow, it has happened In the history of the world that the home of low-priced labor has never been the home of highly developed agriculture or, prosperous industrialism, and that the most prosperous end profitable industrial communities have always paid the highest daily wages. They even go so far as to say perhaps you, like me, have with astonishment heard them, say 'that the very reason why certain labor Is high priced is because it Is efficient and therefore a better investment for capital, when productivity Is considered, than the lower priced labor with whose products it comes in competition. Of course, you and I know better than that we have learned better from our Republican friends.

We know that the reason labor was more highly paid, even in colonial timss in America, than- the same labor for the same work was paid in Great Britain, must have been the existence of some sort of "protective" legislation, keeping out of America the pauper labor, and the products of the paper labor, of England, Scotland, Wa3es and Ireland. It is true that we ha've riot thus far found the law upon the statute books and we are told, by ignorant historians, that there was no such legislation, but, whether that sort of legislation has been yet found or not It must have existed, because superior wages and the prosperity of the 'workingman must be had, and can only be had. by force of a policy of legislative -protectionism, The lost statute will be found after awhile never fear, sir 'because the theory cannot be sustained In any other way. ana the theory, as our Republican friends tell us, is "our fixed national policy," hence' to doubt it would be disloyalty. Demagogic Appeals.

A Wise man entertains a sovereign contempt for a great many sorts of errors, but the sovereignfst of all should be visited on the designing idiot who says that the price of labor depends upon the amount of work to be done In a country and the number of men capable and desirous of doing it; In a word, on demand for and supply of labor. That particular sort of peculiarly inspired idiot attempts to explain that the high -wages which were paid In California and all the new States for those employed on farm, in store, mine or forest, In comparison with the wages paid In older States, which were without free lands and with comparative scarcity of worklngmen and the comparative abundance of new work in the new States. The same featherless biped, we cannot be too severe on him, sir, carries his explanation further and tells you that the superiority of our wage rate In colonial times and always sfnee then, over that existing In Great Britain and on the Continent, was due to this same fact, Paucity of worklngmen and abundance of work. How lacking in subtlety of Intellect! Instead of seeking In remote metaphysical places reasons satisfactory-to a curious mind: hecontents himself, like a 'brother to the ox," with the facts that happen to obtrude themselves right In front of his nose. These be, sir, mere demagogic appeals to "the basest set In the land the farmers," as our fellow-citizen in die White House is said to have called them.

What is the "brother to the fit for, anyhow, save to be taxed for the creation of naturally unprofitable industries? It is plain, sir, to me and you and other strenuosities, that an industry, created by taxation and maintained by legislation must necessarily be more profitable to the taxpayer and to the consumer and, therefore, to the Commonwealth, than an industry which does not require any legislation to make It profitable in the first instance, nor any taxation of consumers to keep it on its feet after it has been "created" by the base agencies of soil, climate, natural aptitude and other environment. "Beneficent" Corporations. That reminds me of another blunder of our ancestors, both under the common law In Great Britain and in the United States. They seem to have entertained a notion that combinations In restraint of trade, seeking monopoly and competition, are In some way adverse to the development of individuality and somehow poison the life of trade. They went so far as to contend that the highest object of man's existence Is not to be well managed, even at a living money profit to himself, but' that It Is to learn to manage himself well.

We know now that combinations of corporations seeking with the power of monopoly the resultant power of robbing consumers by raising prices to an extortionate figure, under the shelter of tariff laws, shutting out foreign competitors, and seeking- the further resultant power to bear down the price to be paid to the farmer raising the raw material, and seeking the yet further resultant power to regulate wages, by reason of the fact that the workingman has nowhere else to eo to cet work ex cept to the concerns in the combination-are, on the whole, beneficial Institutions in a free republic of self-governing men They may appear to be doing some harm. may appear at nrst oiusn indeed to be blocking that broad opportunity for In dividual effort, which you enjoyed, sir, when you advanced In a lifetime from the I position of a brakeman. on a train to that of a leader of men as a railroad and In- I dustrlal captain, and which many a coun try mercnant, necome now a merchant prince, also once enjoyed. These ara only phenomenal, however mere outward; seemings. Great combinations of industrial corporations, seeking monopolistic control, we now know to be "Industrial evolutions.

Por Recovery of Property.

According to a statement made here to-day by a prominent citizen of Richmond, the Board of Trustees of the Central University of Kentucky, now located at Danville, will be made defendants in a suit to be filed In- the Madison Circuit Court this fall by the heirs of the late Col. S. P. 'Walters, who will seek to recover forty acres of land donated by Col. Walters on condition that the property would always be used for educational purposes by the trustees of the college, but since the consolidation of the college at Richmond with the Centre College at Danville, and the school moved to the latter place, the heirs of Col.

Walters believe that the trustees of the school have broken faith in the promises under which the land was- accepted by them from the former wealthy Richmond banker. The suit will be filed by Col. W. R. Letcher, of Richmond, on behalf of his wife, who is a niece of the late Col.

colonies and as States, In spite of the monstrous error this unholy rebellion. The Boston Tea Party. Coming on down the ourrent of time we found another period of popular 'hysterics that Is incomprehensible to us of a wiser generation, in view of some enlightening facts in our recent history. Some men In the troublesome little town of Boston, masquerading as Indians, seized and threw Into the sea certain cases of tea belonging to certain merchants of the East India Company. That this wa3 a violation of law no man In England or America had any doubt; that the violators of the law were amenable to punishment under the law through its usual processes, among which were indictment by a grand jury and trial by a petit Jury, none doubted.

With a wisdom, however, equaled only by that of the present occupant of the Chief Executive's chair in these United States, these usual remedies by law against law breakers were ignored by that sapient statesman. King George, as 'being reeds too weaK to depend upon In an extreme like that. The consequence was that the entire population of Boston, men, women and children, observers of the law as well as law-breakers, were punished and the Boston port bill was passed, thus In a fash-Ion royally excommunicating the little town, commercially and Industrially. Then came that strange and unaccountable outbreak of popular hysteria to which I have referred. Not only ail New England rose In wrath, but distant Virginia and remote South Carolina caught the frenzy and sold in effect this foolish tning: ir government can disregard tta forms of law whenever in government's opinion the forces of law are too weak and can pumsn.tne innocent without trial because of the deeds of violators of the law.

then are we none of us safe, even to the remotest confines of Carolina or within the depths of the woods of Maine safe neither in our persons nor our Drooertles. nor in the pursuit of our happiness the very difference between a free government a uespousm oemg tnat a rree government operates without the prescribed turma ol ih.w ana a aespoijsm is a government In accordance with snm Indl. vidual's discretionary notion of justice or liecessitV. Oil wi rpmpmhAr thnf nil the wisdom of King George's Cabinet wuia not put an ena to tnis wanton rury, even though the Cabinet answered: "This concerns nobody except the town of Boston." Our ancestors could not be quieted, but got worse and worse, until their mis guided counsels led to the foolish result or insurrection and a free and indepen dent. Aiuenian wjvernment.

The Indlanola Incident. We have, however, made the amende honorable for this silly business by our governmental atrenuosity at Indianoia Miss. Not long since it was alleged, although not proven, notwithstanding the loazl uitiL uiCT-e was a unixea states -Marshal to arrest, a United States grand junto indict and a United States petit junto convict, that certain DeoDle in thp town of Indlanola, had conspired together tor the purpose of preventing an incumbent of a Federal office from contrn-nins to hold that office. True, there is a plain statute of the United States "writ large," on the pages of- the Revised Statutes, providing- punishment for those giruty ox mat identical crime. It was, oerhat9.

however, thoncht that t.h al leged crime could not be oroven in a court of justice under the ordinary forms of law; cnat tne torces of law, as in the precedent cited in Boston, were "too weak" or not to be altogether "relied upon" by those in authority. The necessary and righteous consequence was that, recurrine to the orece- dent established by that miracle of wis- CTom. lieorsre or tanover ana ms cabinet, we promptly and strenuously deprived the ucue town or inaianora or an mail facilities, proceeded to punish for the law- breaking intent of a few if. Indeed, such intent ever existed which I frankly admit is questioned all of the town, men and women, aootors, merchants, black and white, by cutting off their mall facilities: thus, by a White House decree. excommunicating them from the intelligence of the world.

Our ancestors, incomprehensibly, even after they had had the wisdom of the Boston port bill fully ex plained, persisted in cneir maaness ana folly, refusing to be enlightened, and still hunK1 on with miraculous fanaticism to the belief that only 'the guilty ought to be punished, and even the guilty only after a fair trial. 'Not so with out Wiser generation in the Indlanola case. Again I wonder how we managed to prosper as we have prospered so miraculously in all our history, in spite of a folly like this, uncon-fessed even, until a very recent date; but a roily wmcn we nave now, tnanfc uoa, nobly shaken off. Stinging Sarcasm. The next great historical blunder.

In spite of which, strange to say, we have, as I cannot too often repeat, prospered right along In every step of our history, with now and then a temporary drop back, was the immolation by our ancestors of the nation's industrialism upon the altar of free trade within the common domain, notwithstanding already existing State lines furnished convenient Dlace. opportunity ana temptation to es tablish customhouses those potent en-couragers of commerce. What we ought to have fought for during colonial days was a high protective tariff to keep Brit ish products out or tne American market and another hieh protective tariff, to keep American products out of the British market; thus enriching both Britain and America. Then, after we had accomplished our Independence and each State had become a separate sovereignty. South Carolina ought to have protected herself again I'ennsyivama ana iew ingiana.

Pennsylvania ought to have seen to it that a line or customhouses preventea the Invasion of her sacred soil by the products of the Jerseyman, the Mary-lander and the Delawarean. We ought to have encouraged Interstate trade by stop-nlnir it as much as possible, thus pur suing in that regard the enlightened pol icy wnicn prevails in regaru io uur international trade. Then, after forming the present Union the Constitution Itself ougnt to nave prescriDea to tne ouites "mutual protection, by mutual taxation and consequent universal prosperity." What Might Have Been. What an enormously rich country the little state of Jtnoae island would nave been now but for the influx of the cotton raised by the pauper labor of South Caro lina ana ueorgia, slave labor lor a long time and therefore worse than Dauner la bor! How rich Florida have been, if, instead of raising pineapples and oranges and such products as an unreasoning sun seems to recommend, she had kept the rye' and barley and wheat and woolen goods of the Northern States out of her confines and had "created." at some little expense people It is true. but still, witn mucn pnae ana seir-grati-flcatlon, purely "Floridian Industries" of these and all other things.

Each community on the surface of the earth, sir, should "raise everything and make everything which it possibly can," regardless of the cost to its people of making and raising It, and If they will not make and raise everything of their own accord then the people ought to be taxed until somebody consents to accept the profits of newly created industries for the altruistic purpose of giving them away to American, Polish, Hungarian and other labor. 1 nave Known people foottsn enoueh to answer: "That if New Jersey had 'created a great New Jersey banana indus try, we wm say bananas could be easilv raised there under class and in forcing beds), it would have made bananas very mucn more cosuy cnan common people would like and that perhaps it la better for New Jersey to raise potatoes and peaches and manufacture various things naturally profitable and, with the profits of capital and labor thus plebeianly employed, buy bananas." But the men who say that, of course, are lackhiar In patriotism "a cheap banana makes a cneap man, ana we nun roul scorn at those who are so lacking in self-dependence as not to be willing to pay whatever Is necessary to be paid out of the pockets of consumers in order to prevent the pauper banana, raised by pauper labor, crown on pauper soil, nourished by.
