THERE is a COED deal of shallow
clap-trap in the pretense that the
wages of labor are low in soma foreign
nations which have protective tariffs,
and that, therefore, the same condi-
tions will attend protection in this
country. Everybody knows that this
is false pretense. Wages are low in
all European countries, and it is
against the whole European system of
wages that the republicans protest.
They want protective system which
will secure to the American working
men American wages for their labor.
The democratic programme as de
veloped in the presidents message and
the Mills bill, if carried out can have
no other effect than to compel manu-.
facturers in this country to get theil
work done for the same prices paid in
Europe or else go out Of business. II
is absurd to claim that the repeal OF
protective duties can have any Other
effect.

TIE following special to the Kansas
City Times throws q little light into
third-party affairs in this state. We're
the facts not as stated the following
would not be very likely to appear in
the columns of the Times:
TOPEKA, Kan, June 27.-The Lead
or, the official organ of the prohibition
party in Kansas, issued from Topeka
aud Wichita by the Leader Publishing
company, has suspended publication.
The reason of the failure Is attributed
10 lack of patronage and funds to meet
expenses of publication. One OF the
publishers to-day said: The prphibi7
ton party will hever succeed until 7t
deserves success, and that time will
never be until its leaders can do some
thing else besides making promises
with no attempt whatever to fulfill
them. From indications already man
ifested, it is a self-eyident fact that
] the prohibition party Of KaiisaE is q
farce and fraud, If the movement of
its so-called leaders can be taken as a
criterion. All bodies are judged by the
actions of those whom such bodies
place i'll position to do the will of their
dictiOn; hence, on this basis the people
of Kansas judge the intents and pur-
poses of the so-called prohibition
party as managed in the state Of Kan
sas. Financially the party is bank
rupt and as to honor it is an unknown
quantity so enthusiastically small that a
microscope of the most powerful tense
would fail to discover the remotest
semblance to the least possible degree
of such an attribute. When the entire
party within the borders of Kansas can
not muster cash enough to meet obliga-
tions incurred in the establishment of
state paper it is high time such fact
was made public.'' D5e

How the free trade racket is hurting
the democracy may be inferred from
the fact that Hon. Geo. Q. Richmond
of Pueblo, Colorado, member of the
state democratic central committee,
and one of the sblest men in that
state. has gone over to the party of
Harrison and home projections. Com
menting on the matter, the Pueblo
Chieftain has the following:
Hon. George Q. Richmond's retire
ment from the democratic party has
caused the disgruntled political hacks
of the unterrified great deal Of worry
and uneasiness. They recognize Mr..
RichmOnd's ability as an orator and
debater, and they fear his power. The
papers of the state generally are con-
graduating and eomplimenting Mr..
Richmond upon his bold stand, and
he is being besieged by invitations to
address republican clubs all over the
state. That he will make it warm for
the democrats no one need doubt, and
wherever he consents to speak he will
be greeted by crowds of yoters who are
seeking after the truth. 1851

THERE is chance that the parallel
between the career of Henry Clay and
James G. Blaine may be extended far
Their than it has been thus far = For
reasons of expediency the wings Sc
lected William Henry Harrison in 1910
in place of Clay, who was the most dis
tinguished member of his party, as the
republicans chose Benjamin Harrison
in place of Blaine this year. Clay as
sisted Harrison by speeches on the
stump during the canvass, and
Blaine undoubtedly win assist
HarrisOn's grandson. Thus far
the similarity between the ca
reer of the two statenen is. clear and
direct. In the canvass of 1874 CLAY was
made the WING candidate, and some re-
publicans think Blaine, in 1892, will be
the candidate of the republicans. Un-
fortunately Clay got badly beaten in
that election.-Globe- Democrat.

A representative OF THE News while
on vacation IN the east took particu-
lar notice of the condition of tho crops
along the line of road he travelled and
also OF the Improvement during his abb
sence. In eastern Kansas, IN Missouri
and southern and central DIinois the
corn has nearly doubled its height in
three weeks and has improved much in
color. Three weeks ago all the points
named were in need of warm weather
and rain. Since that time an abund-
ance Of both has been showered down,
and hence the rapid growth. In some
parts of Missouri and eastern Kansas
the chinch bug has cut the wheat crop
short and Is destroying few cOrnfields,
but on the whole there viii be a good
yield.
The wheat is most all in the shock
and as near as can be judged from a
distance and what could be ascertained
in the several towns along the line.
will make over two-thirds of a good
crop.
The corn along the Missouri Pacific
from LEROY tn Emporia is much larger
than in Missouri or Illinois, and NOT
only larger, but of more even growth
The oats Is very short in eastern Kan
sas and Missouri, but will make fail
yield. In Illinois the oats crop ia very
heavy and will yield greater harvest
than for many years.

1T ID mentioned as fact that may
be curious or otherwise, as the reader
may determine, that while General
Fremont and Hannibal HamIin. the
latter an eN-vice president and the for
mer the first republican candidate for
president, are both ''alive and lick
ing" not a single man who ever ran
as candidate for either president or
vice president on the democratic ticket
is now living. The present occupant
OF the White House is excepted, of
course. But then it should be added
that he enjoys all the robustitude which
is associated with 80 pounds ayoirdu-
Pois. Then there is Judge Thurman
who Is now on the track for vice presi-
dent. He is not very vigorous, it is
true, but he manages to get round and
blow his bugle. These two cases nnust
be accepted as an offset to those nr
Fremont and HamIin.

THE Kansas City Journal, in refer
ring to General Harrison's Chinese rec
ord, about which much has been report
ed, says: The only thing ever
urged against him was his vote against
the first prOhibitive Chinese inImigra-
tion bill, but this was not AN act TO be
censured, for the reason that the bill
was in direct opposition to the terms of
the treaty then existing between this
country and China. The dignity of his
position and the honor of his country
demanded this action. He, however,
labored earnestly in support of the
present bill, and the closest possible
scrutiny of his record fails to disclose
single instance wherein he was not
the steadfast friend of American labor
and American interests generally.D
