The greatest deep waterway oon rela tion ever held began lu erosion la the Auditorium Theater at Chicago Wed nesday, and the city on that day was heat to two presldentlol candidates and oe vice presidential nominee, who were guests of honor of the Lake to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway Association. William Howard Taft, 'Republican nominee for President; William Jen nings Bryan, Democratic nominee for President, and John Temple Graves, vice presidential Candidate of the Inde pendence party, were the three distin guished guests. These threo men ad dressed the waterways convention Taft and Bryan at a banquet Wednes ay night and Mr. Graves at a great Smoker held Thursday night at the Coliseum for 6,000 of the waterway lelegates and their friends. Taft also tpoke at the opening meeting of the convention Wednesday morning. Bryan poke at the session Thursday morn toff. William K. Kavanaugb, prcaldont of the association, called the convention to order and introduced Bishop Sam uel Fallows, who pronounced the in vo cation. Bishop Fallows prayed for the early consummation of the convention's oijecta in the interest of American pro gress irnd the greater glory of God. Tho address of President Kavanauga fol lowed the Invocation, and after it Sec retary William V. Saunders read his report The audience presented an unusual ly beautiful assemblage, evory delegate holding an American flag, which had been presented to him at the door on his entrance. On the stage, In addition to the officers of tho association dele gates, sat Governors, United Statoa Senators and Congressman of tho vari ous States and officials of many differ ent cities. Watcrwar Htatory la Violated. W'UHam F. Kaumlera of St. Louis, aao retary of th Lakea-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway Association, In hia report to the convention detailed the history of tho deep-waterway movement, the difficulties tt encountered in the beginning, Its pur nose, scope and prospects for the future and the benefit that the United States woukl derive from if? Tho work of the association In teaoh iag through newspapers, magasiaea, pamphleta and speakers Hie Importance of the deep-waterway project was explained by Secretary Saunders. "Through its publicity," the report oats forth, "the association teaches the ater ohanta and manufacturers that with the building of the deep waterway freight rates will be steady and reasonable and not subject to the violent fluctuations such aa occur at present. It also teaches the 1,600,000 men directly employed by the railways that rail and river traaa nertation are complementary: they mast help each other to perfect the transpor tation of the country." According to Secretary Saunders the ooctrine of the association Is . that the irst duty of the government is to porfost its transportation and that this can only be done by building the deep waterwof from Chicago to New Orleans, improving at the same time Into complete naviga bility the principal tributaries of the Mis sissippi river so that the ship waterway between the lakes and the gulf will be the trunk line of a comprehensive system of waterways. The actual launching of the deep ira, tar way movement by the trip down the river from Chicago to New Orleans over taa route of the proposed waterway made by Congressmen William Larimer and Henry T. Balney of Illinois and Ben Humpbreye of Mississippi and their organising of the deep waterway association waa re lated by Secretary Saundera and every step taken in (feat connection by the vari ous associations, officiate and eitiaeas since then was explained. "The first convention of the assoaiatlsa held In St. Louis had on Its roster 1,100 delegates representing twelve States," runs the report. "The second convention in Memphis last year had on It roster 2.300 delegates, representing nlaetaon States, and this convention baa on Its roster 8,917 delegates, representing forty four States." Waal lecresale 'Cowa. Dr. V. A.

Vfasfngton Monument May So Used as Wireless Station. The most remarkable wlreltsa tel- inntpli project on record Is contem plated by the Navy Department. It i I'otlilug less than the conversion of the top of the Washington monument Into a wireless telegraph station. The bureau of equipment of the Navy Do-, partment has taken the matter op 1th Secretary Met calf and advised him that the plan is feasible. Secre tary Metcalf aald recently that tho bureau In question had advised htm not aloue that It was a practicable plan, but that If the station wore es tablished be bud been assured that without relaying It would be possible to reach stations In western Buroi and to communicate with tho vessels of the Anierlcen fleet at sea in distant waters. He added that no final action 1ms been taken and that the subject waa bolng considered. The plan Is to use the Washington nionuniont only temporarily end if the experiment proves successful to erect a permanent tower of the necessary height, probably the approximate height of the monument, which Is 555 feet. The plan If carried out will revo lutionize the wireless telegraph and coblo business of the government and will greatly facilitate' communication to Europe and with the war vessels. Tho value of tho plan In wnr time would be Incalculable If It can bo worked aa the bureau of equipment be lieves it can. Bear Admiral Cowlee, chief or the bureau of equipment, In discussing the wireless plan, said there could be no doubt or the feasibility of the project, though there might be sentlmeryil rva sons against this use of the monument "Application for its use has been mado to the War -Deportment," said Admiral Cowlee. "It Is the plan to use the monument temporarily and then to put up a steel tower about 500 feet high. Messages could be sent 8,000 miles. No attempt would be made to use the station for the Pacific coast, but it would be used for reaching points in the Atlantic and the Carib bean regions." The proposed station wooM be the highest in the world. In Liverpool, England, 10,000 long shoremen are idle, and the docks are filled with Idle sailors and officers looking for berths.

It Is n long time since Europe has had anything as exciting an the Bul garian muss. Turkey had just begun business under Its constitution, and Hon. Abe ILumid hnd begun to get used to the sight of his subjects and quit wearing fcheot Iron linings In his bloom ers. There was some prflkpeet that the nrmy and navy might get a few years' overdue back pay, . and the ladies of the r.pnnna were figuring on n few new Paris gowns and hlgh-hecled slippers. Everything was sailing along smoothly whan Prince Ferdinand suddenly got the bit In his teeth and ran nwny with the whole outfit. His lndcrfendenee party movement has set nil Europe wor rying. Austria has announced her Intention of annexing tho provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and as Cousin Wil hclm Is backing up this little land grub It Is pretty likely to go through. Italy Is mad because Austria Is seizing a ter ritory largely peopled by Italians. Rus sia Is mad on general principles. Tur key Is busy trying to thrash naughty, naughty Ferdlnnnd, nnd Austria Is un opposed. There Is a demnud for a con gress of the signatories to the Berlin treaty to decide what shall be don;, now that Austria has violated tho In tegrity of Turkey, but students of Eu ropean politics fear that such a meeting would result In trouble. , However, It is not believed that war will result unless the progressive ele ment among the Turks feels that some thing must be done to prove that a pew era bus dawned In Turkey. Tho chief danger apparently is that Russia and perhnps certain other countries of Euroiw will demand something to coin pen'sate them for tho Increased strength of Austria and Its allies, Further, the fury of tho Servians, at tho gnowlng prestige of their old rivals, the Bulga rians, may lend to urmed attneks along the Bulgarian or Austrian frontier. The Bulgarians of Macedonia who, opposing Greece an one side and Tur key on the other, long have sought to romo under tho political domination f Sofia, doubtless will take new hope from the formation of, an Independent latlou ruled by a "czar of tho Bulgnrl tns." Only a war of conquest against Turkey could join them to the new Rulgarlun kingdom. The Bulgarian rmy is remarkably" efficient for its ilze, but tho staying power of the Turks bas been abundantly demon strated." Bussia'a wish for a new conference of the powera which signed the treaty of Berlin to modify that instrument seems to be generally shared by the governments of Europe. The present feeling at Purls nnd Loudon la that the emperor of Germany, by eucouraging Francis Joseph and Ferdinand In their daring course, has scored heavily against the new western alliance form edy by King Edward. Still, it Is prob nblo that the whole matter will end merely in peaceful diplomatic pas sages. Progress la th Soath. Reports published by the Manufactur ers' Record of Baltimore show that stone roudmaklng is In progress throughout the South without let-up, and that contracts are constantly being made. Also huge euuis are being spent on the development of various industries, such as coal, oil, cotton, etc. W Edinburgh, Scotland, Andrew Car negie announced his decision to set aside Il.2o0.000 for the foundation of a hero fund in hia native land. That the growing generation in the rural district of Minnesota la taking, an active interest In egrlculture, and la eager to take up the work, well equipped by ex perience, la shown by the fact that more than 4.000 children under the age of 18 will compete ia the Stat Industrial con test at the school of agriculture on Jan. 2, 8 and 4.

The work of the railroads la in de veloping the West was highly praised at the meeting of the Trans-Mlsslsslppl Congress in San Francisco by J. C.

Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of-tho University of California, spoke on "West of the Mississippi River what docs it menn?" He said a great future Is opening out before the trans Mississippi couutry In general and Cali fornia in particular. Col. Fred W. Fleming of Kansas City took for his subject "Western Insur ance," while Gov. Cutler of Utah nnd former Governor Pardee of California both paid attention to "The conserva tion of natural resources."

' Attorney General Dickson of Colora do, tspenking on the topic, "Irrigation and disposition of public laads," drew the attention of tho meeting to the Im portance of guarding government lands from too free distribution. James J. Cullbreath, secretary of the American mining congress, talked on tho conservation of mineral resources, and Frank Short of Fresno, Cel., dis cussed the relation of the natural re sources of tho "conn try to Its sooial and political conditions. TOLD IN A FEW LINES. In the shipbuilding trade oa the Mer sey and Tyne there are 20,000 fewer men employed than last year.

In Ills I)ch Moines Hppe-li advocat ing a tariff fr revenue only Mr. Bryan declared Hint the protective system tuxel the fanner of the coun try for the benefit of the manufactur ers. The first benefits of- revision upon Democratic linos, he insiHts, will come to the farm. As for protec tion, "the whole system la vicious. Business should not Ih linilt ium leg islation." For this startling theory the "Anierlcnn Kconomlst" snys Mr. Iryn u ought to le defeated. If for nothing else, niul in Its current num ber It proMIUIldN a sorlPH of !(! qucs tloim to the Democratic nominee for President, all relating to specific schedules covering agricultural prod ucts, ami osks whether Mr. Iiryon fa vors removal of the duties quoted. Of course, Mr. Bryan dure not favor any thing of the kind, for the moment he does the fanner will take alarm, and in this particular yoirr Mr. Bryan Is very solicitous for the agriculturists. With the Dlngtey bill in effect our Imports of agricultural products amount to f414.0HO,0O0 n year. What THE FARMER AND IPT The Protected Farmer Well, Mr. Bryan, If It's a "vicious" system that Jlas given my farm the richest ten years I ever knew, and then, even though crippled with give-away foreign trade agreements, has enabled the country to weather a year of hurricane panic, then all I have to say is that the sys tem Isn't quite "vicious" enough to suit me. I'm goiug to vote for the inun that's under orders to keep it as "vicious" as he can. they would go to if Mr. Bryan should apply his revenue tariff no man can tell, but we should soon find that the American farmer was getting the worst of It. Mr. Bryan Is very fond of giving out the Impression that manufacturers and the great organ ; Ized business of the United Stat.es arc j the only beneficiaries of protection. I Ye, practically everything that grows . or Is produced on the farm Is pro tected. The list, which Is formidable, Includes cattle, swine, horses, mules, sheep, barley, barley mult, buckwheat, corn, corninoal, macaroni, outs, oat meal, rice, rye, wheat, wheat flour, but ter, cheese, milk, tieans, cubbnge, el der, eggs, bay, honey, hops, onions, pens, potatoes, commercial seeds, struw, vegetables, sugar, -wool, hides, leaf tobacco, fruits, nuts, bacon, ham, fresh beef, veal, mutton, iork, extracts of meat, lard, poultry, and tallow. So it will be seen that, If Mr. Bryan's great scheme for scaling down the tnriff until there Is no protection, but merely revenue, becomes a reality, the fanner will, have to tako his medicine along with the manufacturer, for we have the assurance of the Democratic party that it plays no favorites. Let the farmer who contemplates 7ottng for Bryan ixiniler on these things. Let blm remember that It was llr. Bryan who drafted thc free wool tlause lu the Wilson bill mid that it is this saino Mr. Bryan who "denounces ill protection us 'vicious,' Including protection for tho American fanner." Pittsburg Gazette-Times. A Short Sermoa. In both his first ami second buttles Mr. Bryan polled much the largest to tal vote ever cast by the Democratic party. The Republicans won by In creasing their own vote immensely over their former greatest effort. If they had not done this they would have lost. - An examination of tbe fig ures Is- Instructive for they have dis tinctly a present bearing. Mr. Bryan'a totul vote In 189U was ti,r02l92'i, and In 1900, 0,358,13:1. The largest previous Democratic vote, lu 1802, was 5,550, 918. Bryan broke the Democratic rec ord by over 800,000. If the Republi cans had fulled to offset the big In crease they would have been defeated. Republican uputhy would have been fatal in either tbe first or second Bryan cumpalgu. In the Parker slump of four years ago the Democratic to tul sank to 5,082,734. But that is not murk to be considered by Republi cans this year. In both his former campaigns Brynn wa 'stronger than Parker by anout a lutlllou and a quar- (ToMMEMT mi r f ter votes, and stronger than the Demo cratic party had previously been by MHl.tJt'O. Iii. fighting Bryau In 1890 nnd 1900 the Republican party rose to the occa sion. Its highest vote before was .",440.210, In 1888.. In 1890 It went up, as a result of the most vigorous effort, to 7.104,779. It Increased to 7,207,028 In litOO, and to 7,021,489 in 1904. But what would happen If the Republicans should be apathetic this year? It is true that Bryan does not get votes lu proportion to the crowds he draws lu traveling throughout the country. But, at the mime time, he has polled 800, 000 vote more than were ever receiv ed by nny other Democratic nominee for the presidency. These figures are the plain mathematical proof that the Republicans must work with nil their might to bring out their full vote. There Is no sure margin If less Is done.

But for the protective tar iff there would be no sugar factories In the United States to-day. The protec- "VICIOUS SYSTEM." tive tariff built up the Iron, steel, tin, nud, in fact, every Industry of note in tho laud. The stronger the tariff pro tection the greater development of in dustries. Hence the more the American people should cling to thelrjndustrinl development nnd foster nnd encourage it by wise legislation. Were It not for the turlff there would be but few smoke stacks, mills or factories In the United States. Those countries that hnd their manufacturing Interests highly develop ed and that were paying labor wretch' ed wages, could hold the American mar ket Indefinitely with their products, and their competition would make it un profitable and Impossible to develop American Industry. Under the stimulating influence of the tariff this couutry has become the lead lng Industrial center of the world. Tho high degree of development it has at tained In this respect may warrant cer tniu modifications in tariff schedules, but this should be carried out by the friends of protection not the veiled advocates of free trade. National Farmer. A to I'reo Wool. We'lhiiik the New York Commercial will prove to bo mistaken in Its pre diction that a demand for free wool will Ih strongly pressed when Congress takes up tariff revision. If such a de mand Is made it must come from the manufacturers of woolens. These gen tleiueu have memories, no doubt. They cannot possibly have forgotten what happened to them when free wool und lower duties on woolens were the prod uct of the tariff revision of 1891. Xeith er arc they such fools as to suppose that free wool would give entrance for their woolens Into world markets. They know better. What they need Is the privilege of weaving woolens for Amer- Icuu consumption. This they would not have in the event of free wool. Burnt children druad the fire. ttra aa l aaafe Iteaaoaer. Uuu of the favorite ami familiar ar guments of Bryan Is that hia renomina tion by the party after two defeats is evidence that they still believe In and endorse "tbe principles tbut I have Ison advocating." Well, what are the principles that Bryan has been advocat ing? Certainly there is noue that he advocated so strenuously as free coin ago of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1.

'.. THE MOST IMPORTANT THIHO. That l.ahor Should Flrt at All Hat Work ann Waarea. We think the Intelligent union Work er knows that what the labor program of the ItemiM-rntle pnrty Is after Is not the bestowal uiwn the unions of all that they want In the way of legislation on injunctloiiH, but the votes, along with the ciikIi contributions, of organized ln- Jor. And we also think the Intelligent union, workman knows mat me mot lmMirtant thing to him nnd to the coun try Is that lie should have full work at good wages. Neither he nor any one else can see lu n Bryan political pros pectus the work nnd the wages thnt he has actually experienced under the practical policy of the pnrty which makes business, first of nil, for Ameri can Industries nnd therefore work for American wage-earners. There was little emuigh for labor to do, lu the mill and factory or on farm or railroad, after the election of 1892, bearing war upon American Industries In imswer to the protests of Mr. Bry an's "BT'ggnrs" nisi o satisfy the de mands of Mr. Haskell for secret dis crimination against union labor. But the want of those days would become plenty In comparison with the ruin which would be mado of our producing agencies If farmers, manufacturers-, merchants N and wage-earners were threatened with an enforcement of the IKtllelos of Mr. Brynn nnd u Democratic Congress In sympathy wlih and subject to him. We don't imugluc anybody can fool the wage-earner, organized or unorgan ized. Into believing that there will lie an abundance of work for him when business indefinitely shuts down or that there cun be wages, or anything but bread-line support, for the workingmen of the United States, skilled ajnd un skilled, when there Is no work. One would need to hare n minimum of faith in the common sense of organized labor to credit 'U with complete Ignorance on the cause nnd the underlying founda-' tion of Its welfare n natural program that stimulates business, and with it work and wages rather than one which ravages our industries and Impoverish es our workers. And It would be neces sary for organized Inber to be utterly bereft of all memory to believe that the man who has always been proved wrong In all 1)1,3 prophecies nnd promises since he first began to make them would now be right lu the new prophecies and" promises which he puts out as he again ' seeks the votes of those who have re fused to follow biin Into error imd mis fortune. New York Press. LOW TARIFF AND LABOR. What Dr-an'n Plan Wonlrt Do Men Who Work for Wnuea. Bryan's assertion that tho Republican party Is upholding the trusts because; it docB.not ngrec with biin on tariff revis ion, Is only another dream of the "Peer less one." Any thinking man knows that low revenue tariff would Injure the working man, because It would re duce wages to the level of the chea working men of Europe ; would cripple many industries In the country thot have not yet secured such a foothold in the industrial world as to be able to compete with free trade conditions and starvation wages of the countries where no protection Is provided by law. liryan does not seriously believe in revenue tariff himself. He considers It, however, good bait to catch tho ln Ixjrlng man's vote. His only mistake Is in considering the working man of to day to be an ignorant creature, made up of credulity, nud ready to swallow any sugar-coated pill of promise held out to him. Yesterday .the laboring man took time all over the couutry to celebrate bis own attainments, and the representa tive crowds thnt filled Lafayette's streets showed no strain of mental weakness In -their faces. On the other hand, intelligence, bruins and common sense wuve to the fore In every speak ing Countenance. Such men ns march ed so Joyfully lu yesterday's parade are In the habit of thinking for themselves, and are educated as much as Mr. Bryan along lines of busluess prosperity. Such men would laugh If the proposition was seriously put to them to exebaugo the protection now afforded them by the present tariff wlih all its imperfec tions for the starvation wages and low standard of prices for all Ameri can produce that would mark Bryan's 'theory of revenue tariff. The Republican party has pledged it self to revise the tariff and make It as amenable ns Kwsible to the country's condition. But it has also promised to take care of the laboring man, nnd this thought It will ever have hi mind while ndjusting this important issue. Iji Fayette Courier. Will Karmrrn Contribute t There are admittedly "hundreds oi thousands of farmers abundantly able to contribute." Indeed, the prosperity of the Anierh-nu farmer can hardly be" overstated. But that prosperity will not move him to contribute to help elect Bryan or any other Democratic candidate. For It is the result not only of Nature's Imunty, but of twelvo years' of Republican rule, and Is the most complete possible refutation, of the Democratic claim that the prosperity of the manufacturing industries under the Republican tariff system is gained at the exHnse of the agricultural In dustries. The farmer's tlurihiiess. cited by Brynn und Kern as a reason for his contributing to their fund, la there fore 'the very thing that will most in-, cllne him to do tbe exact opposite. Ho will contribute not to the Bryan cam paign fimd, but to tho Republican cam paign fund, nnd he will not have to be solicited by Mr. Taft to do so. Allen, town News. l ast la Kit her. Caw, No man can vote fur Bryan iu tbe coming election except on one of two grounds. Kither hi: must believe that Bryau still yearns for the destruction of the gold standard and the establish ment of free silver, as he did in 1800, or else he must believe Ihut Bryau was wrong then and that he knowa better now. In tbe one case the conclusion la Inevitable that Bryan ia unlit for President. In tbe other he fa a faulty reasoner and an unsafe guide
