J Columbia Citv, Intl., Nov. 7. lt seems to be the fate of gre.it lvterni- j ei'S like Mr. Bryan to live in history rather than in ollice. Disheartening as is tho result in the Republic, the increased vote for I K-mocrfttk: prin ciples in many States fiid me to hope that the money-mud inngiiates will yield to treatment rather than die the death that inevitably over takes all who grow arrogant. The buslines interests will surely see that our party is not the enemy of vested rights. We strike only at vested wrongs. 1 hope they may be peaceably wiped out, for 1 fear if they are not they will be forcibly. These evils would have beea cheer fully under Mr. Bryan. 1 hope they will be under Mr. lati, though gtudgtngly. I fce light has been werth the making. There are now no discoid ant elements in cur party. Factions have been blended iu the white he it cf persecution and a spirit of mutu al trust restored, which uuu'iirs well for the arising of a constitutions! democracy out of theaslns of defeat In Indiana it is not io lie made u partisan victory by my using pitron age to reward at the expense of the interests of the people. If I kaow how, 1 am going ti give the people an old-fashioned coustitut'onal ad ministration, which means etual rights for all and special privileges to rone. If you will keep up the cry. "Back to the fathers!" we will get there soaie day, and the sooner the bettet;for while business and money are yood for the tieople, principle :s the one enduring necessity of good government. TrAoH.

Tl:e l iriff ii to he revised in the interests of the manufacturers, espe cially tbp big trusts whoe ollicials have made largo contributions to the llepnbliciin campaign fiin.U and otherwise helped in the eleitou of a Republican Ptesident and Congress. N. xt Tuesi'ay the House committee ou ways and means will hwgin hear iiies here, and during the coining seioii of Cooresg Mr. Sereno Payne, Mr. Jolin Dalzell aud Mr. Nelson W. Aldrich, the three fore- un at Representatives in Congress of the depredatory corporations will meet frequently and lix up a tariff lull. This will be passed through the House during the second or third week of the month of March iu a special session, und will be pass ed through the Senate in something like one or two months,, alter pro testing speeches have beeu made by the Democrats, who, however, will not be able to help tjemselves. The foremost exponent of a tariff for revenue only ip khe country, per haps, is John Sharpe Williams, the minority leader of the House. In discussing khe subject yes'erday he said: WILLIAMS DISCUSSFJS IT "Tariff revision? Yes, I suppose they will have to make some sort of a feikt ak carrying out their pledges to revise ten tariff. But the coun try need not expect changes in the schedules that will permit anything like tgesnine foreign competition and bring abont a lowering of prices. None of the larcenous advantagea ne protected industries now enjoy will be. taken away from them by ii.e Republicans. Wherever sched ule are lowered, it will be because the industries to which the sched ules relate have no seed of the amount ef protection now given tbtm. And the reduction will be made only to such a point that the manufacturers can continue to sell tbeir products at the jame heavy Daargia of profit they have enjoyed in the past and now enjoy. The containers need not ho,).- to gain anything in the way of lower-priced commodities as a refill of Republi can tariff revision. UPWARD, NOT DOWNWARD. 'A ad ia many cuses the revision will be upward, ius.eal of down ward. " This will be t li-. c.v! especially with certain agricultural products, of which small itian;i;ii aie e. pnrted. On the-- the tirill' raes will be mere 'd. for the purpose of tunning the faruii r believe he is get ting to share i.i the tn;lT revision. The whole thing wall li? a mockery and a delusion, and win n ii is all done the country will be ieft just as much at the mercy of the piotccted manufacturers and the trusts as it is now. "Perhaps th- duly on lumber will be removed or greatly reduced. But this will be because the timber sup ply of the North is practically ex. limited, and about all the timber left in the country is found in the South." Mr. Williams will have no part even in the protests against the ini quities which will undoubtedly be all through the new tariff law. He will retire from the House ou March 4th,; next, and will not be in either bouse during the extra session. He has been elected to the Senate, but will not take his seat until 1911, at the beginning of the Sixty-second Congress. During the coming Bhort session he will not be the minority leader, having resigned that position to take effect when Congress assem bles in December. Champ Clark will succeed him without any doubt, more than enongn numbers being alnady pledtred to vot fr him. C. L. Jones has resigueU his posi tion as clerk in the poitoffice at Greensboro aad will take charge of the graded school at Oakdale, Alamance ceunty.
