BRYA J HATES PROTECTION AS
MUCH AS EVER.
Declares He Stand * : n II Stood Six
Ycurx , An Uncompromising1 Opponent
of any Tariff for the Uonellt of the
American Slioop Grower.
Last week the wool market report of
the Commercial Bulletin contained the
following paragraph :
"The Salt Lake City correspondent
of Hecht , Liebmann & Co. , of this city ,
writes that Mr. Wm. J. Bryan , in his
recent visit to Utah , assured leading
dealers and growers in private conver
sation that he had changed his minden
on wool , and that though he would
consent to a reduction of duties , they
could rest assured that he never would
sign-a free-wool bill. "
We desire to repeat the paragraph ,
and arc perfectly prepared to furnish
the names of the persons who were
given the assurance that the wool tar
iff would not be an issue and that the
protectionist who wished to vote for
free silver might do so without fear
that the beneficent duty would be re
moved from wool by Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan now makes this publica
tion unnecessary , however , by a public
pledge , which , of course , recalls all pri
vate or personal assurances as to his
attitude on wool. In an interview ac
cepted as authentic by such free wool
authority as the Boston Herald , he is
quoted by that paper , among others , of
Jan. 14 as follows :
"When asked regarding the report
that he had changed his views on the
matter of free wool importation , and
had asserted that , in behalf of western
dealers and manufacturers , he would ,
if elected president , favor a tariff on
wool , Mr. Bryan stated most emphati
cally that he had mi do no statement
whatever to the effect that he had
changed his former views on the ques
tion. "
These are Mr. Uryau's "former
views , " as expressed on the"loor of
congress , March 1C , 1392 :
"I , therefore , Mr. Chairman.denounce
as fallacious , as unwor'hy of consider-
ation.the only reason that can be given
in support of a tariff on wool , as a
protective tariff and for protective pur
poses. "
And on Jan. 13 , 1894 :
"It is immaterial in my judgment
whether the sheep grower receives any
benefit from the'tariff or not. Wheth
er he does or does not , whether the
wool manufacturer collects a compen
satory duty from the consumer of
woolen goods and pays it over to the
wool grower , or collects and keeps it
himself , or doesn't collect it at all , and
therefore doesn't need it , I am for free
wool. "
It is idle for Mr. Bryan's friends in
Utah or the other Western states long
er to seek the votes of wool growers ,
as they have been doing , on whispered
assurances that the free trade plank-
of the Chicago platform is not an is
sue.
sue.Free
Free wool is an issue in 1900.
Mr. Bryan has made it so by his own
public utterance at Columbia , Miss. ,
Jan. 15 , 1900. The private whisper
in Salt Lake City is overridden by the
public declaration again publicly en
dorsed : "I am for free wool. "
A Bryan victory thus means not only
surrender and free silver , but a drop to
the old free wool basis of 27 cents a
scoured pound for ordinary fine me
dium Utah wool. The Western wool
grower will do well to ponder this and
to cut out Mr. Bryan's interview for
reference when the campaign is on
next fall. Boston Commercial Bulle

A TRULY GREAT CHANGE ,
Blarkcd Improvement In the Grade of
Coffins and Furniture Now Demanded.
"Some queer facts regarding improved
business conditions are set forth by th-3
Canton (111. ( ) Register in the shape of
an interview with a traveling man
who represents three factories.one that
manufactures coffins , one that makes a
specialty of tables , and another that
produces a general assortment of fur
niture. Said this commercial trav
eler :
"The factories , though running night
and day , are away behind their orders.
Three of the largest houses on our cus
tom list we have , for the present , quit
taking orders from , simply because we
can't fill them by the time desired.
This being true , it looks as though my
services as trade solicitor will have to
be dispensed with. "
"How do you account for this exces
sive demand ? " was asked.
"Prosperity ; everybody at work ;
good wages ; plenty of money. "
"Well , but ain't coffins as much in
demand in hard as well as in good
times ? " interposed a Democrat.
"Yes , and perhaps more so , but in
such times those of inferior quality arc
the most called for the kind that can
be more rapidly thrown together. In
such times as we now have the best
is required , and it lakes longer to man
ufacture them. "
"What is your experience with ta
bles in good as compared with hard
times , or in McKinley as compared'
with Cleveland times ? " was asked.
"Now , that is something I would
sooner talk about than to talk about
coffins. I will tell you. The many
who use store boxes and loose boards
for tables in the Cleveland times are
now , that they have plenty of work ,
good wages and good money , wanting
good factory-made tables. And when
It comes to furniture In general it is
wonderful to note the increased de
mand in these McKinley times com
pared with the demand in the Cleve
land-Wilson tariff era. People who
could not afford sideboards , rocking I
THE MODERN DAVY CROCKETT.
and easy chairs then are now in a po
sition to have and enjoy them. I' con
fess , as I contemplate the situation ,
that I am somewhat troubled lest I he
laid off until my houses can catch up
with their orders. "
It will be noticed that in the differ
ence between Cleveland's reform tariff
times and McKinley protective tariff
times the change runs to quality as
well as quantity of goods consumed.
Coffins must be better than four years
ago. Any old sort of burial box would
do then ; it had to do ; but it will not
do for people who are earning and
making more money than ever before ,
and who are able to afford seemly and
proper mortuary accessories. So must
the tables be more neat and present
able than in the times when a board era
a box had to suffice ; and in the mat
ter of furniture a demand had sprung
up for a style and quality of articles
that put to shame the cheap stuff that
found a stinted market in the days of
the Wilson tariff. All this means more
demands upon American labor , more
employment , more wages , more money
in circulation , more comfort , more hap
piness. Truly the change is great.
ACHIEVEMENT AND FAILURE.
Results of Republican and Democratic
Policies Contrasted.
We have had three years of McKin
ley and Republican domination. Look
at the practical results. During the
free silver panic pending the election
of 1896 every man owning a hundred
dollars in currency , who could get into
the treasury , got there demanding its
substitution in gold , and the Republic
an leaders even predicted that McKin
ley , if elected , would be compelled to
start out with a bond issue. But in
stead , confidence being restored even
before his inauguration.the gold flowed
back into the treasury in a steady
stream , just as it came back from its
hiding places in Europe to which it
had been driven by the phantom of
four-bit silver. Before the spring of
' 98 had waned the money supply of the
country , resting upon a sound founda
tion , in circulation , in the banks and
in the treasuries , had reached the high
water mark of experience , and before
the autumn had waxed every preceding
record had been broken. This success
was repeated in the unprecedented in
crease of our domestic and foreign
trade , and for the first time in many
years the balance of trade was regis
tered at a high figure in favor of this
country. Before January , 1899 , more
than a million of laborers driven into
the streets by the Democracy had been
restored to work at top-rate wages. At
the beginning of the last named year
every furnace was ablaze , every mill
was pregnant , and every piece of ma
chinery was instinct with life. Yet the
record of 1898 , surpassing all others in
business achievements so far as to
stand out as a conspicuous landmark
in history , is dimmed and eclipsed by
the achievements of the year just
closed.
Wherein experiment has proved
Democratic policies a miserable failure
it has proved Republican policies an
unparalleled success. Then where lies
the path of patriotism and honor ?

A Fine Fiscal Record.
The January record of receipts and
expenditures by the treasury depart
ment was an excellent one. Omitting
consideration of anticipatory payments
liquidating the public debt by bond
purchases in advance of the maturity
of the bonds , the net excess of receipts
over expenditures for the month was
more than $6,000,000. The record of
customs receipts was also an excellent
one , showing more than $20,000,000 of
receipts from this source. The receipts
from internal revenue were about $22-
000,000. It is a matter of surprise to
public officials that the expenditures
on account of the war department con
tinue at such low figures , being less
than half what they were during the
Spanish war , notwithstanding the
maintenance of large armies engaged
in active campaigns in the Philippines.
A year ago the monthly expenditures
exceeded the receipts by about $10,000-
000. As evidence , however , that exist
ing tariff laws are not only proving ef
ficient as protective measures , but also
in bringing increased volumes of rev
enue to the treasury , the receipts from
customs last month were more than
$3,000,000 in excess of those in January
last year.
WAITING FOR DEFEAT.
How the Democrats Hope to Get Rid
of Mr. Bryan.
The Springfield ( Mass. ) Republican ,
which is not Republican , but is bitter
ly hostile to the Republican adminis
tration , says :
"The Bryan situation is strictly
unique. The less his prospects of elec
tion the tighter grows his grip on the
nomination. For the iirst time in our
political history , a great party sits
worshipfully at the feet of a man and
does little or nothing to oppose a lead
ership which few believe can result in
victory. "
The foregoing is a fair statement of
the situation by a paper which would
delight to support any candidate who
could make a half hopeful fight upon
an anti-expansion platform. But its
zeal for Aguinaldo and its relentless
hostility to the Republican party do
not make the Springfield mugwump
oblivious to the facts which are obvi
ous to all except the blind followers of
Mr. Bryan. There is but one explana
tion for the general acquiescence of the
Democratic leaders in Mr. Bryan's can
didacy. With the issue before the
country they have no hopes of success
next November. Whatever the plat
form may be or whomsoever the can
didate may be , President McKinley ,
who has generally satisfied the coun
try and whose administration has been
attended by a marvelous prosperity ,
will be re-elected. This fact sems to be
conceded by leading Democrats in
most the states. The anti-Bryan men
who are prominent Democrats realize
this fact , and , realizing it , they see a
sure way to get clear of Mr. Bryan ,
his silver and other heresies. They
may make a little show of opposition ,
but they will acquiesce inMr. . Bryan's
nomination. They do not "sit wor
shipfully at Mr. Bryan's feet , " as the
Massachusetts paper affirms , but they
are waiting patiently to see Mr. Bryan
rejected as the party dictator by an
other defeat. When he is again de
feated they believe the Democracy will
accept men of brains as leaders. In

Need of New Adjective ; .
One of the needs of today seems to
be a new dictionary with a long and
varied list of terms applicable to the
unprecedented prosperity of the pres
ent. The newspapers seem to have
quite exhausted their vocabularies.even
sometimes in a single issue , in their
efforts to tell the story of the great
and wonderful prosperity which the
enactment of the Dingley Tariff law
has brought to the country. The head
ings of "Good times in Ohio , " or
"Good times in the " "
South , or "Good
times" somewhere else , in common
with all the other brief statements
made to describe the industrial condi
tions existing throughout the country ,
are repeated over and over again until
the reader would grow tired of seeing
them , were it not for what they stand
for. In fact , all the words in present
ase which are descriptive of prosper
ous times are very much over-worked
almost as much over-worked as are
the mass of American laborers in the
present rush of business in the coun
try.
The International Trust.
There is no tariff on automobiles.
But there is a so-called automobile
"trust" with an authorized capital of
$75,000,000. This would suggest that a
Protective Tariff is not a sine qua
non for trusts. There is another inter
esting fact in connection with the
automobile "trust. " It is that , accord
ing to report , the promoters of the
combination purpose to unite all the
important British and American auto
mobile concerns into one organization.
When a trust can be formed in respect
to a product on which no tariff is im
posed , and when , furthermore , that
trust contemplates the uniting of Brit
ish and American interests into one
company , it ought to be self-evident to
all but the wilfully blind that the trust
problem is utterly distinct from any
question of tarJffs.

THE THOUSAND-DOLLAR BILL
A MYSTERY OF THE UNITED STATUS TREASURY A SHORT STORY
BY I.EOX.UID OIJTIIAM
(00110111310110 (
An hour later Edmond Hackett sa
a this desk In the department of the
Secretary o the Treasury , counting
and recounting a packet of 1,000-dollai
bills. They were old and frayed , rag
ged and discolored , and belonged to
the Issues of long ago. They were only
half notes , moreover the lower
halves ; and each fragment of paper
had two big holes punched In it by a
blunt instrument , totally destroying
the signatures which had made it
money , and at the same time reducing
the half-note to the merest remnant.
One by one Edmond turned over
these morsels of dirty paper , countIng -
Ing them most carefully.
"Forty-one , forty-two , forty-three
forty-four , forty-live , forty-six , forty-
seveu , forty-eight , forty-nine ! There
are not fifty here ! And yet they've
been passed as lifty in the Redemption
Office. Humph ! Awkward for one ot
those clever ladies. A thousantl-dollai
bill missing. Poor Mrs. Lawson. In
fallible Mrs. Lawson ! It must be she
who's in for this. "
Taking up his pen to make out the
report , he glanced at the wrapper upon
which appeared the number of bills it
was supposed to contain and the ini
tials of the lady-examiner who in the
Redemption Office had counted and
made herself responsible for the pack
et's accuracy. "What ! " The pen
dropped from his fingers. "B. H. Greal
Heaven ! " That was the signature of
his own wife.
CHAPTER III.
Now this error would mean more
than discredit and a consequent check
in Bertha's future promotion. It was a
rule that the examiner who overlooked
a counterfeit or missing bill should
make good the value of it. To make
good a thousand dollars would pretty
well ruin the Hacketts and old father
Caleb into the bargain. But it was his
duty to make his report instantly to
the Secretary , and with painful reluct
ance he filled up the prescribed but
seldom requisitioned form. With slow ,
dragging steps , he proceeded with it to
the Secretary's private room , but halt
ed with his hand on the door. Sud
denly that frivolous gossip on the ver
anda rushed into his memory. Had
Wilton Loring had Bertha herself
stole the missing bill ? What then ?
Should he turn conspirator and cover
the fraud ? No , no , his duty was clear.
He would not allow himself to hesitate ,
but knocked at the door and entered.
But there was no respite for him and
for his wife. The Treasurer himself
was closeted with the Secretary.
"One moment , Mr. Hackett ! I'm en
gaged , " was the sharp peremptory dis
missal , and he perforce withdrew post
poning the declaration. As he return
ed stupefied to his desk a clock struck
the hour of his luncheon interval. It
was the custom of the family to meet
at home for their midday meal. He
locked up the report and rushed out
of the Treasury. Flying home on a
cable car , he found his wife there be
fore him. Bertha sat at the table like
one in a dream. She did not raise her
eyes from the food that stood untouch
ed before her. Edmond himself could
not swallow a morsel , but furtively
watched his wife while the negress
who waited on them tarried in the
room. The moment they were alone he
leant across the table and whispered
hoarsely :
"You passed a packet today a pack
et of Thousands. "
The young wife looked up with a
start of surprise. The fear that was
written in her troubled face gave way
to a flash of desperate hope.
"It came to you ? "
"One bill is missing. "
"Thank God you can pass it ! "
No word of denial. She caught his
recoiling hand across the table.
"For my sake for your Bertha's
sake you will , you will ! "
Edmond Hackett raised his other
hand to his damp forehead.
"Impossible , child impossible ! You
must be saved another way if it be
not too late. Find the missing bill
among some papers , as if an accident
had placed it there. But , whatever you
do , put it forward instantly , in
stantly ! "
"I cannot , Edmond. I haven't the
bill. "
"You did not steal it ? Oh , forgive
me ! Heaven be thanked for that ! It's
an oversight , then ? Bad enough , but
not beyond repair. Make out your re
port at once , and send it in. You are a
novice , the delay may be overlooked. "
"I cannot do that , Edmond. It'would
be to cast suspicion upon the cashier
who forwarded the bills to the Treas
ury. "
"That is his affair. If the packet was
short when you counted it "
"Edmond , why will you not ignore
the shortage ? By a miracle it is in
your power to prevent the discovery. "
"It is not in my power. "
"How not in your power ? The pack
et will go from your hands to the com
mittee , who do not count it again ; and
by them it will be deposited in the
macerator , to be ground into pulp. It
would never be known that forty-nine
instead of fifty bills had been destroy
ed. "
"Bertha , you forget the other half. I
have only a portion of the bills. The
upper section of your packet went to
the Register's office to be counted
there. "
Bertha Hackett grew white as death ,
and hot tears sprang in her eyes.
"We are ruined ! " she cried , "unless ,
unless " Her glance from the win
dow perceived Caleb Loring entering
the house. "Here Is father ! He will
find out who had the count at the Reg
ister's. "
But the old man knew already. They
read It In his face as he confronted
them , closing the door. Whatever
hope he had cherished on his homeward -
ward way that he might find Bertha
unconscious of the storm that threat
ened was dashed to the ground the
moment he perceived her and her hus
band's agitation. The memory of that
evening on the veranda burned In his
mind , and in a fury of rage he de
manded , fiercely :
"Daughter , what infernal thing Is
this you've been doing ? Are you mad ?
Have you turned thief ? Is Edmond in
it ? Or has Wilton No , no. For God's
sake don't tell me it is my son ! "
v Then Bertha , to her husband's
amazement and dismay , fell down at
her father's feet and confessed that
she , she had yielded to temptation and
stolen the missing bill. She hurriedly
stated the miraculous chance that had
put Edmond in a position to save her ,
and inferring from her father's knowl
edge of the affair , that the man who
had detected the shortage had confided
to him his daughter's responsibility
with a view of screening her , besought
him to accept the friendly overture.
"I would permit no man's dishonor
for the sake of me or mine , " he declar
ed. "For what you have done , you
must pay the penalty. Your Impossible
combination has actually come to pass.
As the counter-check came to your
husband in his department , so It has
come to me in the Register's. It was
I myself who caught the short packet
which you had signed for.
Bertha clasped her hands in thanks
giving.
"Then , father , you alone know ? "
"I and one other. "
"One other ? " repeated Bertha ,
aghast. "Who in your department
should know besides yourself ? "
"My chief , " replied the old man , with
a face of adamant.
"You have reported it , knowing that
your own child "
"Certainly. Fraud or oversight ;
yours or your brother's ; it was not for
me to consider. I am , first of all , a
servant of the State. "
They went back to the Treasury ,
where Edmoud at once delivered his
report.
Bertha found Mrs. Lawson impa
tiently awaiting her. The Treasurer
had sent for the Head of the Redemp
tion Division to investigate an error in
one of the packets which Bertha had
made up. Mrs. Lawson was highly in
dignant.
"I counted the Ranchers' packet my
self , ' 'said she. "I am positive there
were exactly a hundred bills. "
"If one is missing , " began Bertha ,
but the senior lady interrupted her.
"Missing ? No , nothing is missing
at all. There is said to have been
one too many. "
So many miracles had happened that
day that poor Bertha tould only gape
at her in astonishment. It was an
anomaly in arithmetic that one taken
from one hundred should leave one
hundred and-one. There came anoth
er summons to the Treasurer. Another
report had come in of an error from
Mrs. Lawsou's desk. The old lady was
almost in tears but she carried It off
with a show of jocosity.
"Either there must be some con
science money knocking about , or Mrs.
Bertha Hackett brings a mascot to the
treasury , " said she. "Is this another
surplus thousand-dollar bill , sir ? "
But this was the shortage which Ed
mend and Mr. Loring had reported ,
and it was happily met by the excess
in the other packet. So , beyond an
admonition tempered in mercy for the
manifest distress of the girl , Bertha
got into no trouble. She held stoutly
to a theory of the intervention of
providence when discussing the matter
at home , and her husband swept the
pious fancy away.
"I reckon Providence don't supply
cheating clerks with thousand-dollar
bills , " said he. "You divided the pack
et of 100 in two of 50 , as you thought.
But you counted the first backward ,
from 100 to 50 inclusive , and that left
only forty-nine for the second packet.
But why didn't you tell Mrs. Lawson
you made one short ? "
"Fact is , Edmond , that combination
chatter of ours had got into my brain.
I thought Wilton had pinched a bill ,
and I reckoned to do more for my
brother than Daddy would do for his
little girl. "
"Ha ! " observed old Caleb , filling his
pipe. 'Duty first , family afterwards ,
and roguery never at any time , under
any circumstances. "

Foote was intensely Irish and loved to
