One not knowing the stalwart dem ocracy of both the putative and the adopted father of this proposal Might think thnt it should be labeled "Re publicanism made easy lu th* south, or how to become a republican with out telling anybody."

The south will cease to havo plan* or Ideals or purposes -of Ita own relating to our government, but must choose the heat of these It can find from ths Job lota offered by other section*. Finally. It Is admitted that that* non-lnstructed electors may "dicker and trade.” but we aro gravoly oa- aured that thl* "Ik no argument' against the plan.

To real, practical men, doesn't It seem that there would be better chance* for real good bargain*, for ever ao many people, if the trading woa al lowed to commence during tha "open season, befor* the election Is hald. end each southern voter be given a license to trade? _ . ■ ..

I amid that “ our party had been run by th* Clave- landlim of the cast and th# Bryanlsm of the west, but never since the civil war bv the democracy of the south, and that the time had come for the aouth to take hold again. I re»d that we should announce that the south will r.o longer vote fer aftythfaT Just because » Is labeled den*w*rnr p ut will hercartor demand and must have the reel thing. Whv wouldn't this be a declaration or Independence? «y some mental process, the mysteries of which I am still working on In the endeavor to understand. Mr. Osborne say* that to literally follow” my suggestion would result thus: "Four years hence, with Anger tips together. With uplifted ere-, with a oa&ctlflad expression and with a preacher’s praying whine, w« Will approach Murphy et al." Does he construe "announce” and -demand" as meaning to "beg.” to riicy, would constitute a fair-sized stick* If not actually a "good atom club?" Oan't he froni hi* own force ful vocabulary supply tho missing words In this demand, so that when soft words arc exhausted It can bo converted Into real, sure-enough “hardsh” talk? He says of this suggested - .'-''nt and (Iwn-iml that forty year* southern democrats have been striving to do that very thing." He aaya: “Have Ve not been beg ging and demanding alternately for more than forty years, and Is It not conceded that w© are as bod aft flow when wo began rt»'mftnfl!ng?'’ If-' argue* from the premise thus laid down and th* premise la unfounded, for the south'hAs not been “demand ing" for the period of forty years, nor for any other period. It Is only now th.it wo ;ir© trying to work ourselves up to the point of making a demand. X have before me the proceedings ‘ tho Denver convention of last July, note therein that the Atele of Georgia dost 20 voice for Grey. S t6r Johflion. 4 for Bryan, and that the state of Maryland cast 9 votes for Johnson and 7 for Bryan, and that ovary other southern state cast Its vote solidly for HD'sn, Does (hi* look like the south Was demanding something that It wasn't getting? As for the Denver platform that grieves and offends my friend so much and that he charges up to the enemies of the south, the Official report of the proceeding* of the convention sftysi "Mr. Haskell: I move the adoption of the report ol the committee on platform and reso lution*.” "The motion waa unani mously ©greed Vt.” Does this record support the charge that my friend makes? The records show that tho south was not coerced In this convention and that no de mands of the kouth were mode end Ignored. The declaration for free lumber In tho Denver platform my friend con strues as a direct blow at the south and Imagines all kinds of sinister and depraved political motives as prompt ing it. It always pays to bo fair. If n©t charitable In our Judgment*, and while 1 have no more purpose"now of defending the Denver platform than X have of assailing It. I would point out the possible Injustice and unfair ness of the charge made against the purpose of the lumber blank. Tho Denver platform says: 1, XV’o favor Immediate revision of the tariff by the reduction of Import dutfe*. Articles entering Into competition with trust- controlled products should be placed upon the free 1M and mnterlal reduc tion should be made in th© tariff upon the necesrarlea of life, eaptctally upon articles competing with such Ameri can manufacture* ns are sold abroad more cheaply than at home, and gradual reductions should be made in such other schedule* a* may be nec essary to restore the tariff to a reve- basis.” "Existing duties have "supplicate," and as meaning that we should whlaper our wishes, not to the whisper national democracy but to a few lead era? I suppose this It Ms Ides, nor only from the ta-.ensg© quoted but because later on he **vs the ssmtccs- tlon means "utter -up!n©n#ss." rimal! wonder tin* h© driln©* "ndw” to moan "old." and “untried* to mean "tried." wh<*n h# thu« with much d«- liberation rives n ' literal'’ definition of “s nr ounce" md "demand." Of course If the demand Isn’t ms-l it won't b© compUM with, but when* does h# flad his Ju*<!flcatl hat th© * making It.

W* demand the Immedi ate repeal of the tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lumber, timber and logs, nnd that those article# may b* placed upon the free list." With much of thla declaration I suppose my friend agre*a. but with tbe latter part—th© "lumber” part— ho disagree*. With tbe soundness or unsoundness of the declaration in whole or In part I am not now con cerned. t am only concerned at thl* tlm© with th* charge that th* "lum ber" declaration wa* aimed directly at th* aouth—In other words, this charge. “To catch a few doubtful western states, a national democracy. In supreme contempt of the south's Interests and rights, aimed a Mew •* on* of her chief lnduttrles." Let us consider the charge tn the light of the facts. According to the last report of th© f«w©stry bureau th© total value of the lumber cut In the United States for 1907. Including laths | and shingles, approached 1750.000.000. j while the total valu# of tho yellow pine cut waa but tffc.00d.000.

If aln»*4 a*' any section, why net at th* northwest as muoh os at th# south- Why not aimed more at the state of Washing ton than at te© state of Georgia? Is It not fairer to assume that the pur- poso of this plonk wfts tha putposa stated?
