Democrats believe that this coun? try had no right to force its govern? ment upen those people, and that il should withdraw from the islands us soon as possible, meantime making it plain that such was the intention. .Mr. Hryag has presented his views with such marked ability on many other questions that even when he was wrong, as he has been all too frequently, he was able to convince thousands, and among them Other men of rani ability, that hi was right. No mere "phrase-maker" can main? tain himself so long in the high opin? ion of the world as Mr. Bryan has done. He has performed great service to the country in teaching the people that the public should know before election what the candidate* had spent and were about to spend; that list people should choose their own candidates for office, unhampered by boss dictation?in short, that the people should really rule the coun? try. He has taught?and was teach? ing It while others were denying? that the Government had the right to control the great corporations, and that it was its duty to do so. He has had a great deal to do with bring? ing about the change in public sen 'iment in the matter of taxing In eomes, to the end that the men who enjoy the swollen fortunes of the country should le forced to pay a just proporton of its running ex pen? ses. He was among the leaders of the new thought in politics which is sweeping over the country, breaking the grip of those who have been dic? tating elections in their own SOUiah interests and enlarging the powers and stirring up the interests of the mssscs. His Ideals are high, as shown by his continued advocacy of c lean gov? ernment, his unconquerable belief In the riKht of the laborer to the en? joyment Of the fruits of his toil, and the unfaltering faith he exhibits in the tinal triumph of popular fOV? srnmont over the His with which ki is beset) bj leaching the people lo think for Ihomaslvei and act for thomsnlvoa, and by educating them on pubic question! thai they may think and ad intelligently.

A Lincoln pi inter, who is well ac- j lnt< d witii the Held, recently made a computation showing that the printing sent out of the city to th.s.' bargain counter concerns would. if left at home. mean the employment in Lincoln of from hirty to fifty additional men in the prin :ng trade, in other worda would equal the establishment of a factory employing from thirty to fifty hands. In the face of such renditions the Commercial club, of which most of these shoppers for cheap printing are members, is sacking factories that will give em? ployment to no more labor, and are offering local capital to the amount Of One-half the necessary stock. Competition in the printing lines in Lincoln is sufficient to w'.rrant ivory purchaser getting a fair pric3 ?often one that Is below the cost of production?and the buyer who shops out of town Is taking from local labor money that would bene? fit the city if expended here.

Seven Cincinnati Clothing Mann fnctnren To Clone Up shop. Indianapolis Xt-ws. By January 1 seven ready-made Clothing manufacturing concerns in Cincinnati will go out of business, and 1,200 tailors, cutters, house help ? rs and salesmen will be out of work. The 1 ouaet that already have liqui? dated, or are now liquidating, accord? ing to the Cincinnati Enquirer, are Marks & Friedman, Uettman, Bloom ft Co.. Bommerfleld A Co., Season goodi Gulterman ft Co.. Loeh Uros., and Mayer, Bcheuer, ?>ffner & Co., a firm which dates back to lSf.f* end has the distinction of having been the foundation <>f the International bank? ing house of Kuhn. Loeh Co. These IndUftries have been killed by too much tariff, and the 1,200 workers will be out of work for the same rea? son. The Enquirer says: "The liquidation of these houses is the most serious blow that has struck industrial Cincinnati in many years. Their profits have been dwindling, as one manufacturer explained, not be? cause of the loss of business or sharp competition, but because of lossej in manufacture, due to the poor quality .f cloths on the market." This poor quality of cloths is due, the manufactur us say, *'to the high protective tariff on wool and wool? ens." Again, the local record, and tin manufacturers themselves, tell the story better: ?The greatest drawback to the wholesale clothing buslnesa today !? the high tariff on wool," said Max .?-'Uberberg ,of Feder, SUberberg A Co. "Th,-. wholesale clothing Indus? try was prosperous under the Mc Kinley law, and also for the first few yean under the old Dingley law, That was because of the great com? petition iti the woolen business ; it produced good cloths. Then the Aineri-an Woolen Company came along and absorbed of the best noils in the country, Since then condition! have turned unfavorable to the clothing manufacturers; prices advanced und the quality of clotha dett rioratcd."
