They come on like the stage soldiers in the old days who used to march on at one wing and across the stage and around behind the drop scene and march in again. I notice. however. that they are almost invariably American interests which serve in that capacity. In my time I have seen foreign steamship companies ably represented in Washington when Immigration bills were pending. Nobody seemed particularly to object. In fact. the appearance of foreign interests. whether on the tariff or any other subject. never seems to trouble our friends on the other side. but it is always sonic American who is engaged in business. and perhaps is engaged also In committing the crime of being in successful business and making a little money at it. who is invariably trotted out as the sinister influence behind the opposition to some meritorious and benevolent Democratic measure.
