If Grover Cleveland subtracted materially from hU high tanking' as a statesman by permitting the Wllaon-Oorman i tariff llll which h branded aa a thine ab . horrent to become a law. then Taftbas done no less by signing the, Payne-Aid rich bUL - The Wilson-Gorman bill was exactly what tnis cm s neuner con latently protection, free trade nor reve nue tariff, it does not satisfy urmoa erate degree any one of the several factions of toe Republican party the high, protectionists,- the low protection ists, ' the free raw material advocates and the protected raw material advo cates. , It does not redeem the party's pledge to revise me tarirr oownwara. a pledge enunciated In the Chicago platform- for - revision and then interpret ed by Candidate Taf t as meaning revis ion oownwara, an as runner interpret ed by the authorised orators or tne na- tional committee, and as still , further Interpreted by the 'Republican newspa pers of the middle west, where the real battleground was In the campaign. : The present claims -that the so called concessions to. President Taft, in the last days of the conferences between the two houses, brought to pass redemp tion of tbe downward revision pledges, will not stand the test of inspection. Tbe average rates of the Payne-Aldrlch law will not be less than those of the Din ley law, which must be the standard from which to judge whether or not there has been revision downward. AUrfqh's Blight of Head Trio. The most transparent, political trick ever worked was played by Aldrich upon the president. This trick 'will go into the country's history as the manipula tion of a pea and shell man at a coun try fair. This was the trick: - Aldrich knew he had to confront a demand for genuine downward revision. The bill as It left the bouse was not revision downward, " though it was less objectionable than the senate draft Aid rich got together the members of his body who represented states wherein were interests demanding higher duties, effected trades and . combinations and produced a bill that, not only failed to revise downward, but effected a pro nounced revision upward. ' Then , he sent the amended bill to conference and awaited the result The country demanded redemption of the pledges of the party. The president who had been silent when to speak would have spoiled the Aldrich game,' fot frightened at the storm of protest he entire bill had been constructed. He demanded certain sneclfic alterations. : In very sllirht degree some of them were changes downward from the Ping- j lay rates, but in no Instance did the re- 1 duction affect the industrial. .situation of any one of the monopolies-now con trolling production, of. the main .Usees arise f life. .- x yy - i mu. .1.1. ..1.1 .U..

Onlnlons of Bebelllons Bepublloans. .This is the condensation of the' tariff story as. related by the Republican I'l surgent senators and representatives. I have embodied lit this statement that which several of the. rebellious Repub licans have said to mV within the week. Every element of this statement Is the exact reproduction of Republican senti ment and represents the belief of . Sena tors La Follette. Clapp.', Nelson, Cum mins, DolUver, Beveridge and Brlstow. They come from five middle western states, with ' this representation in the house: Wisconsin U. Minnesota Iowa llIndiana IS, Kansas 8 total 61. These senators are. backed by house members who vote .with them. The middle west is in open revolt.- Ths real test In the house' 10 -days ago was on the vote to recommit the bill, and the bill supporters Won- by only, six.- Had the Democrats who remained away from the house that night been present and voted with their party, the bill would have been; defeated, i . .-v- ' i Hay Defeat Cannon for Speaker. Therefore; Speaker Cannon carried the bill - not by hlsxontrol of the house, but because, of tho .dereliction of the Dem ocrats. The- speaker's power '.suffered mighty diminution at. that moment The evnti-Cannonites at i once declared they could defeat the Danville man for re election as head of the house. And this seems borne out by the political tacts of the moment . - This, then. Is one fruitage of the tar iff fight Two men have headed ' ths htli tariff army's two divisions the senate, and housa. Senator Aldrich is the -other head. "The Interests" that cohesive thins;, always working under a common 'instinct of political-graft has been the commanding; general. Cannon and Aldrich have been merely the con venient Instruments to carry Into stat utory law ths wishes of these Interests. Hence, defeat : for Cannon means the breakup of the existing combination; it forces readjustment-of the entire fight ing force of "business tn politics." -Aldrlob'a Tower waning'. And, with Cannon 'defeated for speak er, the common people will hay won a mighty victory. This Is the meaning 1 TMl ' v i i i i I llll 1 ' " ' 1 1 il i " I 1 unr.sirij,,,.. ,i , jt f : 1 p it .

Much . is being -made In religious cir cles . n this - - country of . brotherhood work, . but Oreat . Britain - seems to be far ahead in this respect . The Broth -erhood movement here is largely in ths organisation stage; it has not wholly found itself, but awaits the emergence of a great leader. . On the other - side the Brotherhoods are a working- force, which not only hold every Sunday-greet mass . meetings, attended by - literally hundreds of thousands of men, but they also embody the social consciousness of the time. One who has recently been In -Great Britain, making a study of religious ana social ' conditions. Key. Charles Stelsie, secretary of the depart, ment of -church and labor of the Presbyterian- denomination, - says ' that - the British Brotherhoods- are the great men s movement or vine- present aay.

While -the American men are feellnr around for an issue- and the leadership. having many -officers but no great per sonality, their fellow churchmen on the other side have plunged into the broad er orotnernooa spirit or tne time, iaen tifying themselves with the social trend of today. Whether or not the-British churchmen are more wensltlve to the mood of their time than men here may be debated,' but certainly they-, have evolved an expression of It which has caught the British heart as a great fiasslon. The Brotherhood hymn, which eads a collection of songs Issued- by the National Council of British Broth erhoods, Is called "The .People's An them." It was ' written by Ebeneser tClliott, the 'sou of a Rotterdam iron founder. It runs: , .1 "When wilt thou save the people? ' O Ood of mercy, when? The people: Lord, the people! Notvlhrones and crowns, , but men I God save the people! Thine they are. Thy children, as thine angels fair From vies, oppression and despair, Ood save the people!" "Thla hymn expresses the thought' of me masses -ana the spirit 01 tne Broth erhoods," said Mr. Stelxle. "It reveals a tremendous motive for religious ails- giance. r oie tnese lines: 'A bend Of hard-oressed men are we.

Every -Sunday in London alone there are as many,' as 250 of these meetings, some with an at tendance going as high as 2000 persona, Mr.: Stelxle characterize them as "brief, bright and; brotherly." He says they are aimed at the man of the street, and so are -kept popular, -v They are. usually lor men oniy, ana are. in no sense a third -preaching service. - Qreat preach ers as well . as. great ' statesmen and social, economists are In -constant' de mand for these addresses. The laymen themselves have developed a grasp of present 1 religious and social conditions and a" power to express their convic tions that makes them a platform force, '6 Alert to Xavixig', Issues. ' These meetings, are broadly evange listic, yet always social.' Mt Stelsle referred, me-to an crtlcle he had writ ten for., the Interior upon this , very subject , in which he said' that the speakers present such subjects as- child labor, the temperance movement old age pensions, or some other toplo which is claiming the interest Of the men at the time. HS goes on to say that these social subjects are more thoroughly discussed by the working men of Oreat Britain than they are by the men of the same class In the Uni ted States. The three objects of the Brotherhood movement In Oreat Britain as sum marized by Mr. Stelsle are, "First to Yftt A man onil wnmon lit Irlnffjlnnl of -Ood; second, to unite - men . In j brotherhoods of mutual help; third, to 1 win tne masses or tne people lor jesus Christ ... . . rood and the Gospel In Its department of social work tbe British Brotnernooa promotes "insti tutes for Social Fellowship." These j are often maintained In separate build ings rrom tne cnurcnes ana supply va rious recreations, including ' gmynae- lums, reading rooms, debating societies, study circles, etc. In the summer out door sports are maintained. An adjunct of the social institutes are the refresh ment counters. Curiously enough, these are not only self supporting, but fre quently a source of revenue to .the Brotherhoods..- They -help maintain the popularity of the more altruistic de partments; Much ef the activity which is relegated to lodges in America is assumed by these British Brotherhoods, with their benevolent and. thrift clubs, visitation of the-- sick and ; absentees, book funds whereby a million books .a year are circulated- labor exchanges and a variety- of multiform masculine activities differing with the needs and tastes of the locality. 'i '-';V v Xiaytnaa." WHO". Osb' Preach, : ' The surprising statement is made by Mr. Stelsle that there are. 60,000 preach ers In Great Britain alone, from every walk of -life., many of them from the ranks ef the workingmen. He points out that nearly all of the SO labor lead ers Irt parliament received their train ing as . public speakers in the church; and that quite' a number of - thera are lay preachers. ; With this force of men trained to.-public work, the extension of the Brotherhood movement and. the uplift Ideas which it embraces has been comparatively easy. These laymen also give themselves ; to straight out, old, fashioned preach In . in Streets,1- in chapels and in missions.;-; '. -' . The business sense of the laymen Is displayed by - the ; way In which - the Brotherhood men advertise their,-work and meetings. - In addition - to their general use or tne newspapers they go in extensively for handbills and a case1 Is cited of a -Brotherhood ; that waa i started In-a town of 17,000 persona For Its first popular meeting- it distributed 15,000 handbills. .
