Of course the later amenities of the - tampaign were bound to be the most Interesting. From the Republican . aide in earlier weeks came the fraudu t lent Cleveland letter and a charge that Mr. Bryan had once called ' worklngmen in general "beggars;" Irom the Democratic side came, ' principally, a charge that Mr. Taft had once declared a dollar a day to b enough for any worklngman. All ' these falsities, though exposed. hve been persistently circulated for what i ever they might be worth with the Ignorant or ill-informed. Thanks to , We lived for years past In a white light which revealed them as clean and honorable men, the heads of the 1 tw flckets. except for some elurs "- upon Mr. Bryan's conduct in the Ben ' nett will matter, are escaping lm putatlonaupon their personal char ' evcter. Serious detraction has been reserved for the much less well known, and In Mr. Sherman's case jnuch lss favorably known, vice presidential candidate on each ticket. Some of the ugliest charges ever heard in a political campaign have ' bean made against Mr. Kern, princi pally by the Hearst yellow Joornsls. ' These charges are so grossly and , palpably false that it Is hard to Imagine any aane person even frac tionally literate believing them. We , turn impatiently from such mud to examine sensational accusations made against Mr. Sherman. The Sherman charges were at least print ed In good faith by the newspaper first giving them publicity. According to a story furnished The jKw York World by Edmund Burke, avisos Angeles. Cal., attorney,' Mr. Bherman, Burke and several other, persons conspired to obtain ISO, 000 Acres of New Mexico lands through several thousand individual appllca- lions bearing the signatures of Mil- Yaukce brewery employes. To facili tate this scheme, said Burke, 1500 Was paid two members of the New ; Mexico Iand Board and (5,000 to ; Governor Otero, a third memlwr. Net lonf thereafter, this method proving ; Clumsy and dangerous, Representa tive' Bherman, as alleged by Burke, , prepared and had pasoed through the House a bill permitting the Territory j of New Mexico to dispose of land In large quantities thus procuring legls- latloa for his own pecuniary benefit. All this detail presented a rather formidable appearance, and a .state ment from Mr. Sherman was very much In order. The reply has been Insd t, and It l-ars every appearance of. frankness and fullness. Mr. Sher man : denies that he Introduced or had anything whatever to do with the bill from which tl. Burke schemers expected profit, lie asserts, also, that he knows nothing f attempts to ' bribe the New M'-xi'-o Land Board. The -project had pns.nud Itself to him e a business tu heme of a specu lative sort, and. as a tiusine-is man he ', took, the chance of gain. His con- section with It, he insists, was en tirely above-board. If the Western promoters to whom he had entrusted ,hlo money 1,000) did anything .crooked, they acted entirely without his ' knowledge or consent. As a matter of fact, not one foot of United FtateS property was concerned in any . -wayp Concluding that the venture ' -would be a failure, be withdrew at an early stage, fretting back about half of his money. ' He had never dream ed that the transaction eooM be made s taI tor charges against him until last August, shortly after his' nomina tion foe Vice President, he received a l laxkmailing letter from Barks. To this letter he paid no attention what ever, end he presumes that Barks has "found another market for his wares. " la short. Mr. eherman appears aim p!y to have grot Into , bad company.

Miles, a lead ing member of the NaUonsl Assoclae' Hon of Manufacturers. Mr. Males. a protectionist, a tnanufactttrer and a Republican," finds himself impelled; to protest against "the abuse of an economic principle upon the right use of which depends the welfare of mil lions of manufacturers and laborers." Mr. Miles first proceeds to show how the Dingley bill rates were made. It was not even claimed that they rested upon any underlying principle of measurement whatever. Each In terest simply got all it could. For example, Nevada borax, by far the most profitably mined deposits in the world, was "protected" Ave cents a pound, thus making the American price 7 1-2 cents as against 2 1-2 cents in England. The Nevada mines were shortly afterwards sold to an English syndicate for twelve million dollars, the right to tax the Ameri can people Ave cents a pound or 200 per cent, over and above a fair price forming the principal part of the property sold. "When the Dingley bill was passed," points out the writer with reference to the most gigantic of an the tariff grafts, "the cost of the manufacture of steel rails was til per ton in Pittsburg and 118 In Eng. land; ocean freight was, and la, about $2 50, making $19.50 the English cost delivered In New Tork, or S per cent, above the Pittsburg cost. Im agine any Congressman being so fool ish or so daring as to attempt to ex-, plain why, with this 83 per cent of 'natural protection,' $7.80 per ton, or (,5 per cent, more protection was given by Congress. Not long after the passage of this bill steel makers, guid ed by Wall Street promoters, put about one billion dollars of water Into one corporation, and partly, at least, by the powers given to them in that tariff by Congress and the President they have transfused the wealth of the people into that watered stock, In an amount not less than $1,000,000 per week, until It has become a most substantial property." Americans owning factories both In the United States and In Canada are buying Pittsburg steel cheaper for their Ca nadian factories, and are supplying from those factories markets former ly supplied from the United fitates. Mr. Miles very pertinently submits that the granting of such a tariff Is a farming out of the taxing power for private considerations and to pri vate Interests. The way out Is Indicated by Mr. Miles with much clearnesa Firstly, the consumer, whose interests have been totally neglected heretofore, must be given proper protection. Such tariffs aa, for example, tax him more heavily fin his sugar than the entire cost of producing It, are any thing but protection to him. In tariff making the trusts have been sitting on both sides of the commit tee table and the people at times have not seemed to be represented at all. The reader must remember, secondly, that domestic competition, for many years considered a cure-all for tariff abuses, has been so far elim inated by the formation of trusts that it constantly tends toward com plete disappearance. "Congress," says the writer here with great point "might almost as well decide that there shall be no competition as to give, as it now does, to shrewd American business men rates that are practically prohibitive of imports upon billions of dollars' worth of the re qulrements of the people. In my own business, for Instance, a protection of 15 per cent to 25 per cent. Is neces sary, but Congress gave us, under the omnibus clause, 45 per cent In doing this it permitted. If it did not Invite, us to consolidate, and to add to our sales prices about 20 per cent and treble our profits, possibly quadruple them. At any rate, the strong arm of the government will not permit of foreign competition, and so by our elimination of domestic competition the people can be put wholly at our mercy to the extent of the excess duty. And this is what has happened with most of the necessities of life." International costs and foreign competition. Mr. Miles' third princi ple for observance. Is submitted by him as substantially the only salva tion remaining. The National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, he notes with satisfaction, has declared for the exact difference In costs at home and abroad, to be figured, however, with such reasonable and ample margin of safety against contingencies as ordi nary prudence Justifies. He does not at all subscribe, to that plank In the Republican national platform, se cured by the ultra-protected Inter ests, which would add "a reasonable profit to American industrlea" Why. he unanswerably asks, should a gov ernment which does not. . guarantee profits to the wheat grower, good In comes to clerks or steady employ-' ment to labor become a guarantor for trusts only? Reciprocity, with maxi mum and minimum schedules. Is the fourth and last principle laid down. This, inducing healthful foreign competition, would mean ealarged markets for American mannfacturen instead of a people shut ta behind a' Chinese-wan tariff with trusts' which prey greedily upon them. , C Mr. Miles quotes creat bankers as agreeing- that a full half -billion dol lars of sheer graft Is annually takea from the pockets of' American con sumers by the few ultra -protected In terests and that it constitutes s heavy strata . upon our financial resources. He might have, added, if taking the special Southern standpoint for a moment that the Sooth s position Is almost Solely no of . graXt-payer. EearcCly less than Southern farmers, Southern cotton manufacturers, whs sen a combination basis Of . do mestic and foreign competition. ai)4 in foreign markets, are sufferers front the trust-favoring system' They stand for wholesome tariff , laws, not rank abases, and the wiping- out of the enormously burdensome trust grafts would benefit them as much as any other element . For remedy Mr. Miles. like every one else who has studied the subject honestly and Intelligently, proposes a tariff commission. He shows that both political . parties; Republicans through the McKinley and Dingley bills and Democrats through theSvil-son-Gorman bill, have demonstrated the impossibility of getting the right thing done by dickers among politi cians. His contention is for experts of independent standing who, as the servants of Congress, shall determine the costs of production here and abroad and lay the clear proof be fore Congress. Present leaders of Congress, he very truly says, do not want any proof. They are, he might have added, thoroughly averse to the correction of abuses which Insure them and their party powerful finan cial and political support from ths unduly profiting interests. The Re publican party organisation, and Re publican leaders as such, are not without some share of the swag. Mr. Taft has deeply offended the tariff hog in past years and he has prom ised early and genuine tariff reform in the event of his election next week, but what he could do over the party leaders' opposition would probably be very little. The tariff commission Idea Is far from new. In Germany and other countries It long ago passed Into suc cessful accomplishment In the United States, owing to powerful op position from special industrial and political interests, not to mention some opposition from politicians In general as a class, it must wait on events events which, we hope, will not be long in developing. TO DROWN OCT FOREST FIRES. Rain-making by the explosion of bombs in the air Is by no means new. Cannon have been employed out West with good apparent results at times. For a long time It has been asserted that' Important battles are apt to bring on rains, and by various accounts this tendency was marked in the recent Russo-Japanese war. Hence the rise of the professional rain-maker. Most remarkable of this class, at least prospectively. Is Prof. Carl E. Myers, of Frankfort N. T.. aeronaut and balloon-maker. Pro fessor Myers has Just contracted with paper manufacturers holding large acreages in the Adtrondacks and with the New Tork State fish, forest and game department to produce such a copious rainfall as shall drown out the great forest Ores now raging In that section. ; The plan, old In principle, is some what novel In mode of execution. Professor Myers will fill a great bal loon with two gases, and after send ing It aloft a thousand or twelve hun dred feet, will explode It by means of an electric 'spark. So terrific will bs the explosion as calculated that peo ple cannot safely remain under the place of Its occurrence. Professor Myers has chosen to make his first trial In the Mohawk valley, near but not In the mountains. He declares himself entirely confident of success, and the land owners and State officials employing him entertain much hope of results from his exertions. It may be, of course, that a rain will fall and yet Professor Myers' agency In Its production lie open to question by the skeptical. This is the possibility with which all rain makers must reckon for good or evil. But if the professor even seemingly delivers the goods he will be on the road to fame and fortune. His Ideas ars doubtless sound and in after times he may be remembered as one who set mankind's feet at the beginning of a new path of achievement. It Is worthy of note that the odds In New Tork have shifted . from Chanler to Hughes. Mr. Hughes has not only been a tower of strength for his party In the national campaign, but since his return from the West he has done wonders for himself at home. There Is an Increasingly strong feeling that notwithstanding Mr. Chanler's undeniable . personal worth Mr. Hughes' defeat would be a triumph for bad elements tn public life. These changed prospects, how ever, have not affected Mr. Taft'a, which, as mirrored la the betting, re main neither better nor worse than before,. .'''V.

' r : Claims That The ' Observer's Report i' of His Case at. Presbytery Was Mlatoadinr, Mot Based on Facts ft and Was Written by One Strongly X Prejudiced Against Hlm..f:';:--.:; Te the Editor of The Obserretff'y The report of the proceedings of the First Presbytery yesterday at. OUead, as It appeared In The Observer WedT nesday, the 2$th. was a very unfair, representation, in so far aa It relates te the trouble between myself and a disaffected taction In the session: That report did not adhere to ths facta, was altogether misleading, and evi dently written by one i who was strongly prejudiced against my case. In the first place I was not at any time openly "accused" on the floor of Presbytery, (what accusations may have been made before the commit-; tee I can not say), neither wort' any "charges" preferred against me at any time in Presbytery. Those rep resenting the opposition repeatedly declared, on the floor of the Presby tery, that they had no charges to make.' The reason Is evident. The statement that "Mr. Baird had been ruled out of order, that is, in presenting the latter part of his re marks," is misleading, as no refer ence was made to the "latter part of his remarks." ' And everybody who knows anything about parliamentary law, or presbyterlal law and usage, knows that he was out of order from first to last, for the simple reason that he was not then a. member ot the body in session, and'eonsequently had no right to the floor. Later Professor- Balrs.was allowed ths prlv. lieges of the floor as a commissioner, this being recommended by the com mittee on credentials. The committee on credentials de clared the meeting of the session, at which Mr. W. A. Cochrane was ap pointed a delegate, to have been le gal, and, therefore, Mr. Cochrane was the duly accredited representa tive of the session and entitled to a seat In the Presbytery. Our conten tion was thus admitted as Just and right, and In perfect accord with the law of the Church. Furthermore, not only did 108 people vote against accepting my resignation while one voted to accept but a very strongly worded petition, signed by ninety members, not one of which voted at the congregational meeting, not being able to be present. An equally strong petition, signed by every mem ber of the new congregation in Grove ton was presented to the Presbytery beseechln git to not dissolve the pas toral relation between myself and the First church, as that would mean a severance of my connection with that work, they deeming themselves a part of my.charge. Let it be understood that I am not seeking by this any vindication at the hands of the people of charlotte. I am well assured that such vindication will come in due time. I can trust the good people of Charlotte to 'suspend their Judgment until they know the facts. A com mission has been appointed by the Presbytery to investigate this whole matter, thl sin accordance with my expressed wish. WILLIAM DUNCAN. (Any reader not blinded by parti san ry will see no contradiction In the facts as given ky the above card and as printed yesterday morning in The Observer. In its report The Ob server stated that only a charge of personal Indiscretion was made against Mr. Duncan, or has ever been made. He declared at the' Presbytery meeting yesterday that he had ad mitted to his session that he acted unwisely and Indiscreetly. The mod erator can speak for himself "on the point of parliamentary law which Mr. Duncan raises. That is none of The Observer's business. If ths writer had been prejudiced against Mr Duncan, he could easily have publicly made known what the "personal In discretion" was, for he knows, buq this was never mentioned at any com mittee meeting or on the floor of the Presbytery so far as the writer known, and, -therefore, technically, fell outside his province, The entire Imputation against the writer is pass ed over as being altogether unworthy of further notice.
