We do not hear much more about | Bryan and the negro. Every Democrat in Orangeburg) ?County should register. The South can trust Bryan, as he is a true friend of this section. Mr. John C. Garlington repudiates | Hearst and his party. He rightful ly says Hearst is working for Taft. Mr. Guffey must feel grateful to Mr. Bryan that he limited donations to the Democratic campaign fund j to $10,000. You may be sure the Independent Party is not expecting to cut much ice. or Mr. Hearst would have had himself nominated for President. Even the "unspeakable Turk" has determined at last on a constitu tional government. The world cer tainly does move towards Democra cy. Read Mr. Bryan's speech of ac-j ceptance which is published in anoth er column. It is a strong speech and should be read by every Demo crat, They have ordered pajamas on the Cupids in the new Academy of Music in Brooklyn, but the plaster srirhes are to remain in the altogeth er state. Hughes announces he will run lor Governor of New York again, and the Republican party leaders] say he will be defeated, although) the President is for him. This is a dull year in business, ar.d 300,000 freight cars are still idie in consequence of the Republican panic, and as a result the politicians find it difficult to create enthusi asm. Standard Oil Trust shares have appreciated 8270,000,000 since the panic, so it will be no great strain on Brother Reckefeller to contri bute a million or so to the Republi can campaign fund. Empty dinner pails and half full ones is the best the Republicans can j Jboast of in this campaign. Repub lican boasts oL being prosperity pro ducers will hardly sausiy iauur an der these circumstances. There would seem to be some friction between Chairman Hitch cock and Secretary Dover of the Re. publican National Committee, which j indicates that the old Hanna ma chine is hanging back in the traces. The headquarters of the Republi can Committee in New York has a "high-ball alley" which connects it with the Republican Club grill room and bar. Thus the'thirsty Republi can patriots get their drinks at cost price. Vice-president Fairbanks has ev idently not full confidence in Mr. Roosevelt, or perhaps it is Mr. Taft for1 he says: "There are too many who profess decency in politics, but who do not carry their propositions into effect," The Glass Bottle Blowers Associa at their annual Convention just held recommend their fellow members to vote the Democratic ticket. Here tofore that Association has had Re publican ler.rings on account of enormous tariff protection to the glass industry. At St. Louis and Pittsburg, where the Sunshine Clubs are working ov ertime, the reports are very encour aging on paper, but in the Southern States the Cotton Mill outlook is re ported "worse than at any time since the depresssion began." Why not organize a branch Sunshine Club in the Sunny South, or is it too surely Democratic? "My Dear Harriman." Whecher the exigencies of the Presidential campaign will require President Roosevelt or Mr. Taft to call on Mr. Harriman for financial aid is not vet known. It is certain, however, that "My dear Harriman" was never more able to furnish the boodle than now. He'is the undisput ed Railroad King. He controls 45, 151 miles of the railroads of the country ? and is just about to gobble the Eastern Gould roads which will give the Rail roads he controls another entry to Pittsburg and Baltimore, and has his hands on others. The capital Stocks of the Railroads he now dom inates amount to the enormous sum of $1,627.550,900.00 with an issue of $1,935,910,594.00 in bonds. It follows that all competition between r these Harriman railroads is obliterated and the people who reside on them and the merchants who do business over them will have to pay "all the traffic will bear." Is it good public policy to allow this railroad mag nate to combine competing railroads at his pleasure? President Roosevelt has been hand and glove with Mr. Harriman, who is an ardent Republican, and the ev idence of the Ardor of Mr: Harri man for Republican success has been disclosed by letters that have been published and the fact that at the request of President Roosevelt Mr. Harriman raised $260,000 in the last days of the cainpaign of 1904. That money Mr. Harriman declared was used to buy the voters of the State of New York, and did have the effect of inducing 50,000 of them to vote the Republican ticket and save the G. O. P. from defeat. That transaction was a great blot on the reputation of President Poosevelt, almost as much as the collection for Republican campaign purposes of the trust funds of the Life Insurances Companies was. that should have been sacred to the wid ows and orphans, for Mr. Roosevelt was the direct beneficiary of the use of this political corruption. If President Roosevelt was really intent that such "malefactors of great wealth" as Mr, Harriman, should be controlled or limited in plundering the people through ex cessive railroad rates and manipula tion of the enormous surplus funds of the corporations he controls, would he have been in political part nership with Mr. Harriman? If Mr. Mr. Roosevelt was really sincere in eradicating the influence of such malefactors of great wealth as Mr. Harriman in the Republican party, would he not be urging the proper Federal officials to prevent the fur ther combination of railroads under the domination of one man? When Mr. Harriman was a dele gate to the Republican national Con vention in 1904, he was no better than he is to day. but the Republi can party has allowed him to be come much more powerful. Those voters who believe that corporations should be controlled can hardly ex pect reasonable regulation as long as the chief manipular is all power ful in Republican councils. Manufactured Prosperity. People here who keep close watch of politics and businese are asking what is going to happen in the neaa future? They well know that most of the talk of renewed prosperity is for the purpose of bolstering up the Republican party and the Wall Street stock market. Neither the G. O P or the Wall Street gam ulers cankexis& Wiiu.jui a -ju.i ma. ket, therefore Sunshine Clubs and Prosperity conventions have been or ganized, press agents hired and won derful tales told of the increased business being done. Still there is trouble in business and politics and no]one can tell what will happen.>The financial managers, of couse. are not deceived by the rosey reports their agents have set in motion. Far from it, They are still groping blindly along trying to stay the flood of liquidation that has continued in greater or lesser force since last Oc tober when the panic overtook them. That this is not an overdrawn pic ture of present conditions is shown be the declaration of that master of finance, Edward H. Harriman, that he is at his wits end. Democracy Spreading. We are doubtless on the eve of great events the World over. There is a demand for more freedom in many quarters of the earth and everywhere is unrest in men's minds. The old order of things is pas sing away and a new era is dawning that will, through the growth of J Democracy, dispossess autocracy and bend the wills of Emperors, Kings and Potentates for the bene fit of those who toil and spin and pay taxes. Even the Republican politicians in the United States have felt the whip and spur of the ever living Democracy and the good old doctrine of, "Equal Rights to All and Special Privileges to none," is becoming a world wide shibboleth that is ever growing stronger and Republican Prosperity. There is work for the Sunshine Clubs in New York, for the Wo man's League which looks after the interests of working women, reports that 70,000 women are unable to find work. Th'* Woman's L'eaguv appears to have a more pracucal view of business than the Republi can Sunshine Clubs and evidently does not believe that mere faith in prosperity will produce it. There fore, the League has named Aug ust 15th as "Prosperity Day," and to make sure that it will bring re lief to some workers, the League is urging influential employers in that State to increase the number of their women workers on or before that date. If there are 70,000 wo men out of work in New York, what is the number of unemployed men that are suffering in conse quence of mistaken Republican pol icies .that produce panic and pro longed business depression? A Strong Speech. Mr. Bryan's speech of acceptance which we publish in fall, is general in its form and does not go into a detail discussion of the issues of the campaign. As the Charleston Post says Mr. Bryan does "not have to analyze the platform of his party* as Mr, Taft analyzed the platform of his, because Mr. Bryan accepts the platform as a declaration of principles, binding upon the candi date, while Mr. Taft, finding the platform offered him by the Re publican party to be full of holes, must needs spend much time car pentering it into condition to sup port his political bulk. Mr. Bryan stands squarely upon his party's platform, and pledges himself to press for the enactment into law of every principle defined in it. There is nothing equivocal or uncertain in his utteran'-e.-:, and there need to be no uncertai) ry about'his determi nation. What he promises to do Mr. Bryan v.-ill surely endeavor to do. Mr. Br. tin sounds the note that will run through his whole campaign. Ii is in the question which hehur.-: "Shall the People Rule?" ' Tha' ,s the question the voters of tbv United States must answer at th>- polls in November and if they v < uid answer it in the affirmative th? y will vote for the man who' Wednesday for the third time within twelve years has accept ed the leadership of a great party to which he was called by the free, un trammeled and enthusiastic demand of the rank and file? Spectacular Politics. Its preety tough on the Republi can managers to have their powder wet by the United States Court sprinkling the Standard Oil fine so that the anti-trust issue will not even fizz. No wonder President Roosevelt denounced the Court look ing at the matter from his . partisan standpoint. There is no doubt the Standard Oil is guilty of accepting rebates, but the Republican attor neys and Judge Landis were so anx ious for a spectacular fine that they overplayed their hands and did not allow the jury to know the whole truth. A Soft Snap. The Aldnch Monetary Commis sion consisting of nine Senators and nine Representatives in Congress has been having a good time at Narragansetts Pier and have now arranged to visit Europe, all at government expenses, No limit is set to the amount they can expend, i o. i. h.'i' >".'ui itt >? Aua' -i rl l ? G - ? ei'iiuieni uio^Ube oiti? uicj acm? in. If that is not a cinch which could be turned into a fine field for grafting, what is it? The Standard Oil Case. The whole question decided by the United States Circuit Court in the Standard Oil case was not the amount of the fine as President Roosevelt jumped to the conclusion it was, but whether the Trust "had knowledge of the tariff sheet from which it is said to have accepted a concession." Judge Landis refused to admit evidence on that point and the Circuit Court overruled him and threw the case out of court. Judge Grosscup evidently thinks President Roosevelt knows nothing about the law or the evidence in the Standard Oil suit. The President's spectacular method of Trust busting for political purposes was sure tc strike a snag when the higher courts took hold of the matter. Wanted.
