PROVES THE YOUTH OF DAVIS New York World Tells {of the Candidate’s Activity. F New York, Oct.15.—The New York |! World in a dispatch from Piedmont, | _ Va. eave “The next time I make a speaking toar of West Virginia I’m going with young men,” said David B. Hill last of Heary Gassaway Davis, aged 81; William Pinkney Whyte of the same age, and John W. Daniels, aged 62. Mr. Hill was tired, his voice was husky, but Davis and Whyte were frisky as young colts. S“Oh, you will get used to thissoon,” sald Mr. Davis, escouragingly. “You youngsters don’t seem to be able to stand as much as they did in my day, besides you must remember this isa young man’s tour. You and Senator Daniel are the only old fel lows in the party.” Here is the record of Mr. Davis's day: Awakened in Baltimore, 6:30 4. m;started on special train at 8; made twelve speeches in as many Gifferent towns; traveled 221 miles through Western Maryland and part of West Virginia; was the first man out of the train at every stop and the last to get abroad; made the firet speech at every station and {n- troduced the others. Besides his own regular epeeches, made sixteen short remarks, presenting Hill, Dan- fel and Whyte. Never lost his tem- per once; made six flatcering little references to women present at ineet- OURS IS A “WORLD POWER.” |The United States Has Net Recently Attained That Distinction.

PRESCRIPTION May Not; Divorced Persons Remarry. Boston, Mase., Oct. 14.—The Epie- The New York World states that the Republicans are hoping by this means to estrange “the voters of the Bryan Democrats from the National Democratic ticket.” ‘ “A Populist campaign in this state,” continues the World, “is to be made with a plentiful supply of funds, and a state organization, it is said. It is openly intimated that there are not a few Republicans who would subscribe liberally to the Populist cause, for the purpose of deflecting Bryan votes from Parker.” “In this connection it is announced that Thomas E. Watson is to deliver forty speeches in doubtful states, and, strangely enough, at the precise points where they might be expected to do most harm to the Democratic ticket. Mr. Watson has been in frequent con- sultation with a number of men here about his plans. Some of these men were formerly ¢losely identified with Bryan.” In connection with the efforts of, Populists to aid Mr. Roosevelt, Demo- crats are citing this trenchant para- graph from Mr. Roosevelt's pamphiet on the campaign of 1896: “Thrift, industry, and business en- ergy, are qualities which are quite in- copal general convention to-day in| compatible with true Populistic feel- years was commander of the Twelfth |army corps, which represents Saxony jin the imperial Gérman army, and |in 1891 distinguised himself by abol inge; waved his handkerchief at and made courtly bows tothem.

Charles Goodnew, as he lay dying at his home here last night. Kindly hands raized the frail form of the old man and his eye took on a new look. Slowly and distinctly he recited from memory the declaration of Independ- ence from beginning to end. As the last words came from the emaciated lips the old man hesita. ted a moment and then with a wist- ful gaze upon the assembled relatives and friende, said: “Boy, that’s De- mocracy every time.” He gave a gasp and was dead. Major Goodnew was one of the best-known residents of the town and formerly was a leading Democrat of Hunterdon county, having represent- editin the assembly in 1879 and 1880. He was 80 years old.

HEROISM AND LOVE OF COUNTRY. “The Government of the United States was organized solely for the people of the United States. While it was contemplated that this country should become a refuge for the op- pressed of every land, who might be fit to discharge the duties of our citi- zonship, and while we have always sympathized with the people of every naon in their struggles for self-gov- erp.aent, the government wes not created for a career of political or civi- lizing evangelization in foreign coun- tries or among alien races. The most efficient work we can do in uplifting to the throne being Prince Frederick, @ promising scion of royalty, 39 years old, and also of military tastes. A Landslide, Thinks Dockery. Chillicothe, Mo., Oct. 14.—Gover- jnor Dockery in an interview here to: day predicted a Democratic landside on both the national and state tick- ete. He said in part: “The conditions now are very much like the campaign of 1892. Three weeks ago it was difficult to finda Democrat who thought national suc- cess probable. At this time Demo- crate are hopeful and the situation in Missouri and the information from other states is most encouraging. It now looks like a Democratic land- slide.” he finds the indifference among Dem- to-night to a large audience.

When the American farmer pays one-third more for farm machinery, barbed wire, nails, binding twine and a good many other things that he buys than the same products are sold for to the farmer in Europe, he dis- covers that high trust prices have their drawbacks as well as their ad- vantages, As long as high prices were confined to wheat, cotton and corn, the farmer had the best of it, but now the trusts have forced up the cost of living, which includes near- ly everything the farmer does not pro- duce, the profit made off the farm is less than when prices, all around, were much lower. The quality of clothing is not nearly so good as it was some years ago; the “all wool and a yard wide” cloth is a thing of the past; it is now nearly all cotton and 33 inches wide, as anyone can dis- cover by measuring it and picking even what is called fine goods to pieces and closely examining it. The high protective duty on wool has led the manufacturer to imitate wool with cotton, so that only an expert can dis- cover the difference. This wonderful apparent transformation of cotton is called the mercerizing process, and the combine that is producing it is realizing vast profits. There is no protective duty on cotton, so the dif- ference in price between cotton and wool is wide apart; the first named being worth eleven cents a pound, and ‘wool about twenty-five cents. Thus, although the protective tariff on wocl is the highest on record, 11 cents a pound on unscoured and 22 cents on scoured, since 1897, the price of wool has been much lower than under any other high tariff. Yet, the farmers have not made money on their sheep, to judge by the great decrease in the number raised, reported by the Agri- facturers to find a susbtitute, the mier- cerized cotton and shoddy. The shod- dy mills of Cleveland and elsewhere were never more prosperous than un- der tile present tariff. So the farmers have been selling their wool at a low price and buying mercerized cotton and shoddy at a high price, when they DRUG-STORE..
