WASHINGTON LETTER.
John Sharp Williams, the Brilliant New
Democratic Leader of the House;
Roosevelt as a Trust Buster;
An Example of Raising
Price by the Tariff.
rijiui'iul CorrcKiKiiifleiKw Cornier.
Washington, D. C, June 22.
Some time ago I told the readers of
this correspondence that 1 would
give them a few sketches of some of
tho public men of the nation, whose
names are seen in print almost every
day, and I will begin by saying a few
words concerning the Hon. John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi. Mr.
Williams will be the next floor leader
of the Democratic party in the
national House, of Representatives,
and it is well that the Democrats of
the country should know something
of him.
Mr. Williams has been in Congress
for the past ten years, but not until
the past four year has ho asserted
himself and obtained the standing in
that body that ho deserves to oacupy.
His bil limit intellect might not then
have Hashed across the horizon of
the House, being a modest man. had
it not been for tho extremely poor
leadership suffered by the Democracy
daring that period. The leader of
the minority party in the House is
always the man who receives the
caucus non.ination for Speaker of
the party. That distinction, for the
past four years, has been enjoyed by
the Hon. James D. Richardson, of
Tennessee. Mr. Richardson is a
good man und one of the very best
parliamentarians in the House, but
he is a weak leader. He lacks politi
cal courage. When the Republicans
would hit the Democrats over the
head with a club, instead of hurling
back a brick and scabbing some one's
head, Mr. Richardson invariably
would apologize for being on the
fuceof tho earth. This disgusted
and disheartened the Democrats, and
we invariably got the worst of it'
until De Armond, of Missouri, or
John Sharp Williams came to the
rescue and poured some hot shot in
to the ranks of the enemy when they
usually were willing enough to retire
from the field. It was just by such
spurts as this that John Sharp
Williams came to be known and ap
preciated as one of the ablest men on
the floor of the House, loved and ad
mired by the Democrats and feared
and respected by the Republicans.
It was, therefore, with great pleasure
and the majority of Democrats greet
ed his announcement lust winter that
he would be a candidate for the
Democratic caucus nomination for
Speaker when the 58th Congress as
sembled. It did not take long for
enough members to enroll themselves
under his banner to assure his nomi
nation, and thereby make him the
titular Moor leader of the Democrats
during the life of that Congress.
His leadership will put snap and
vim and go into the Democrats from
tho very outset. They will have
confidence in their leader who will
always confer with his colleagues.
They know that when he hews out a
line of policy that he seldom will
make a mistake. They also know
that when he get after the Republi
cans the latter will be very chary in
their attacks on the Democratic
party. They have tested the steel
of Air. Williams mine than once and
they have no appetite for it. When
in debate with him they know that
their statements must be photograph
ic in their accuracy er they will be
badly tripped before he gets through
with them.
In a professional beauty contest
Mr. Williams would be a selling
plater. He would not be a good
hundred-to-ono shot. His personal
pulchritude is absolutely nil, but
there is no discount on the quality
of gray matter under his hat. He
has a tine, well-shaped head, covered
with bushy curling brown bair, a
tine eye and a scraggy mustache, but
his hodv is small and as thin
stepchild's bread and butter. - But
where he delimits in comeliness of
person, he makes good in intellect
ual brilliancy. One forgets all about
the fact that he is not a physical
giant when he is on his feet, and
von are listening to that well modu
lated and penetrating voice and
watching that long index linger
which he persistently throws at the
enemy, from his mouth roll chunks
of wisdom and eloquence fashioned
in the most exquisite English ever
heard on the floor of the House. It
is an intellectual treat to hear him.
When he rises he can always count
on a tun press gallery and the cloak
rooms always empty themselves into
the House, and that is tho greatest
compliment any member of the
House can receive. In short, John
Sharp Williams is an able debater, a
finished orator, as true a Democrat
as ever marked the earth, as biave
as a lion, and as relentless as fate
when he goes after a Republican
juggler with facts and figures.
When he gets in action next winter
there will be more Republican hair
sailing around the atmosphere of
the House than one has seen since the
davi of Ben Hill, Lamar, Alex
Stephens, Sunset Cox, John, Carlisle
and Bill Morrison. The democracy
is playing in luck this time,
Some very shrewd, if unscrupu
lous, newspaper work is being done
bv the press agents ho are booming
President Roosevelt for the 1904 Re
publican nomination. They are
portraying him as a heavyweight
trust tighter who is smashing the
trusts right and left. They tell tha
people that Wall Street is dead
against Roowvelt, and is hatching
all aorta of schemes to prevent his
nomination. They are even invent
in? imrc.nioiia atones about the nost-
oflice frauds, scandals and corrup-
tions, which they hope will nut only

divert well-deserved blame for, this
state of affairs from the President,
who hns permitted it to goon for two
years, out win try ui inane ihjiimuui
capital out of it for him. ihcynow
say that some of the principal rascals
of the many who were plundering
the postofiice were conspiring to pre
vent the President's nomination next
year.
In these simple and absurd ways
they expect to beguile the voting
population oi me country, nun, ac
cording to their own assurances, they
are succecdine.
Let us sec what kind of fights the
President has been making against
the criminal trusts of the country
and in the interest of the "plain peo
ple," about which his tooters are so
loudly prating at present. The
President's reputation as a trust
smasher rests largely on two court
decisions obtained last year. The
Beef TriiBt was enjoined by the
courts and the Northern Securities
Co., a railroad combination, was de
clared illegal in the United States
Circuit Court In neither case can
any benefit to the "plain people" be
detected, even by the aid of the most
powerful microscope. Both of these
trusts are continuing to fix prices
and rates that the people must pay,
and it may be said right here, that
no decision under the Sherman law
has resulted in permanent benefit to
the people. The net results have
been that the trusts have changed
their form, but not their substance.
No court decision has perman
ently lowered prices or rates,
or taken the hands of the trusts out
of the pockets of the people. Nor is
it probable that court decisions will
ever remedy the evils of trusts while
we have high tariffs and other special
privileges which give monopolies
powers and encourage combinations
and trusts. We must somehow over
come these monopoly privileges be
fore we can hope to get rid ot the
evils of the trusts. But the Presi
dent has set his face against any
change in the trust-fattening tariff,
lie eyen stopped off on his recent
stumping tour to help strangle the
poor little "lowa idea, wnicn ieeoiy
declared that tariffs which shelter
trusts should come off. If people
call this strenuous trust-busting they
are easily satisfied.
Milk sngar tonus tne oasis oi oaoy
foods. It is. therefore, a most nec-
ossary product in thousands of house
holds, and it should lie as cneap as
possible, for unfortunately, most
babies are born in poor homes where
the parents must struggle hard to
get sufficient food even of the poor
est quality. If there is auy industry
that should be fostered and protect
ed, it is this industry in our homes.
It would certainly seem cruel, almost
inhuman, to legislate to make the
price of baby food nearly double
what it should be and thus to put it
out of the reach of millions of little
unfortunates. But this is lust w hat
our Congress did when it, in 1897,
put a duty ot tive cents a pound on
sugar of milk.
The Casein Co. of America not
only the National Milk Sugar Co.,
the principal manufactuier of milk
sugar in this country, but it controls
the milk sugar inuusiry oi me
world.
It is now selling milk sugar in
this country at HI cents and in Eu
rope at 9i cents per pound. It man
ufactures it here, principally in iew
York and Illinois, aud exports it to
other parts of the world. The dif
ference in its foreign auu uomesuc
nriees'is exactly the amount of our
tariff duty. The milk-sugar infant
gets its protection at tho expense of
ine numan inianu no are saui lin
ing human infante on the altar of
protection. We are putting tho dol-
lar above the man. i et our rresi-
dent is discussing "rate suicide
without suggesting lower duties on
food and clothing, all of which vast
ly increases the cost of living and
thus starve and freeze our little one?
and greatly increase the death rate.
Moody'a Manual of Corporation
Securities for 1903 tells us that the
capital stock of the Casein Co. of
America consists ot $i,uw,wu at c
per cent, cumulative preferred and
$5,500,000 of common, and the net
earnings in 1902-3 were about $1,-
700,000. The total value oi our
milk augar product probably does
not exceed $3,000,000. Thus this
protected industry make a nct profit
of more than 25 per cent.
niguiy waierea capital auu oi
on the sales of its products.
President Roosevelt should stop
scolding the fathers and mothers of
this country until ne has nau a pri
vate seance with the directors of the
Casein Company, and until he has
asked Congress to take the tariff (!n-,
ties off all product made by trusts
which do not need protection and
which use it only to unduly increase
the coat of raising children.
Remove the tariff and other ob
structions, Mr. President, and the
race will take care of itself.

It's tell thousand times harder to
be just than generous. It is easy
enough to give a poor woman a
dollar, but when it comes to follow
ing a straight line, being luet in all
things just to God, to your family,
to vour children, to all men, it is a
different t lung. Smie men are never
i lint to their wives. Thcv unv their

working, economic, painstaking wife
axkg for a little money on Monday
the brute will say, "Oh, wife, what
do von want with money?
"I know a fellow in Georgia who
had been married ten years. His
wife suggested that that was her
'birthday, and he said to himself,
"I've got a good wife, she has been
kind, self-sacrificing and true in all
respects; I must by her :i present.'
So he went down in town that (Inv
alid walked into a store and bought
himself, a new hat, consoling him
self that nothing would more please
a good wife than to make her hus
band a present of a new hat. (ureat
laughter especially among the mar
ried ladies) He's the meanest man
1 ever saw ( laughter), ami there are
a great many men just that way.
We are too otten unjust to our
children, exacting of them things
we don't do ourselves, and lieruting
them with our tongues when they
don't understand what we want.
And then we are too mean to say ten
words to make one of them happy.
Oh, how unjust we are to wives,
hurthamls, children!
"If you 11 put a little downright
justice in your conduct with your
children, you'll have happier homes.
Did vou ever start anywhere with
your wife and keep hurrying her up,
when you ought to know she has
not only to dress herself, but live
children besides, while you have
nothing to do but get ready.'
'Hurry up, hurry up; I don't want
to lie lute! If you don't hurry I'll
i on by myself. And after a while
she tells vou to 'Go on, husband;
I'm afraid I can't get ready in time
for vnu; I don't want to hinder you,'
"I've done just thatwav. (Laugh
ter.) I have walked off, out the gate
and liftv yards down the road, und
then I'd stop and think. Id say,
'Sam Jones, you arc the meanest man
iving, und vou slum t go to rliurcii
or imvwhere else till you learn how
to behave yourself. And then 1
walk buck and go in and find worry

and say 'Wife, I'm just as nieiiii

you to forgive me. And she for

and find ourselves the first ones I here.
(Laughter.)
"The lrd have mercv on us!
How unjust we are to our wives, our
children, our brothers ami sisters,
aud our neighliors!
"There are men in this very town,
w ho meet a neightior's wife on the
street, take off their huts and how
and smile us sweet and tenderly,
"How iir vou Madam?' and then go
home and wound their own wives
with their tongues. Clever to all
wives but their own. And so it is
with some wives; they are all smiles

cut their husbands to the heart with
their tongues. God pity the man
with such a wife as that!
