"My heart would be ungrateful if,
it did uot concentrate itself to your'!

Mr. Bryant was introduced by

thoughts. On being introduced

)RT MILL, 8. C., THUI
is iu a position, as I believe to the edu- i
cation of the world, it ought to re- I
main in the uttiilude of a mipil and
be ever ready to profit by the experience
of others.
The first message that L bring from
the old world is a message of i?eace.
The cause of arbitration is making
real progress in spite of the fact that
the uatious most prominent in the
establishment ol' The I league tribunal
have themselves been engaged in
wars since that court was organized.
There is a perceptibie "rowth of the
sentiment in favor of the settlement
of international disputes by peaceful
fiflpaiis.
While men ma'- differ as lo the relative
importance of issues, and whil;
the next Congress will largely shape
tlie lines upon whieh the eonuug nrcsidontial
campaign will be fought, I
think it safe to say that at present
the paramount issue in the minds of
a large majority of the people is the
trust issue. 1 congratulate President
Roosevelt upon the steps which lie
has taken and my gratification is not
lessened by the fact that he has followed
the Democratic rather than the
Republican platform, in every advance
lie lias made.
The tai iff question is veiy closely
allied to tlie trust question and tlu
reduction of the tariff furnishes tin
easy mceans ot limning tlie extortion
which tin* trusts can practice.
While tree trailc would not necessarily
make a trust absolutely impossible.
still it is probable that few
manufacturing- establishments won hi
riare iu eut? i into a trust if the Peesid?*nt
were empowered to ->nt noon
the free list articles competing with
those controlled by a trust. 1 cannot
permit this opportunity to pass without
expressing1 the opinion that the
principles embodied in the protective
tariff have been th<; fruitful source of
a ureal deal of notiticnl corruption as
well as the support of many of our
most iniquitous trusts.
It is difficult to condemn the manufacturers
for uniting to take? advantage
of a high inrtn schedule when
the schedule is framed on the theory
that the industries need all the proj
lection given and it is not likely that
the henetieiaries of these schedules
will consent to their reduction so
long as the public waits for the tantl
I to he reformed by its friends.
Plutocracy is abhorrent as a repub- j
lie; it is more despotic than an- |
arehv. more sellish than bureaucracy. 1
It preys upon the nation in time of
peace and conspires against it in the
hour of its calamity. Conseiencceless
eompassionlcss and devoid of wisdom,
it enervates its votaries while it impoverishes
its victims. It is already
sapping the strength of the nation,
vulgarizing social life and making u
mockery of morals. The time is ripe
for its overthrow. Let us attack it
boldly, making our appeal to the
awakened conscience of the nation in
[the name of the counting room
| which it has defiled, in the name of
business honor which it has sullied
in the name of the people whom it
has oppressed, in the name of the
homes which it has despoiled, and in
the name of religion upon which it
has placed the stigma of hypocriev.
And, if I may be permitted to suggest
a battle hymn, 1 propose a sta/a
strongest of the poems of Scotland's
hut slightly changed from one of the
democratic bard:
"Columbia! My dear, my native soil!
For whom my warmest wish lo
Heaven is sent! ,
Long may thy hardy sons of rustic
toil,
115c blest with health and neare and
sweet content!
1 And, O, may lleaven their simple lives
prevent
From Luxury's contagion, weak ami
vile;
Then, tliro' unearned wealth to wick
edness he lent,
A virtuous poimlucc may rise ami
stand,
: A wall of lire around their much loved
land." .
Democrats and Silver Party.
lleno, Nevada, Special. The joint
Democratic and Silver party State
convention met, organized, adopted a
platform and made the nomination of
a ticket the order of business for the
day. The platform adopted declares
that the Democratic Congress needed
to enforce the existing laws and praises
the legislative work of Senator
Newlands.
Short Weight Lard.
Chicago. 111.. Special.?City Sealer
Joseph (jivin directed that suits he
instituted against Armour & Company,
Nelson Morris & Company,
Swift & Company and the AngloAmerican
Provision Company on a
charge of selling short weight lard.
The city sealer declared that he and
one of his inspectors purchased five[>oiind
pails ol' lard at the stock yards
and found them t<> be from three to
twelve ounces short in weight.
