BISMARCK ON PROTECTION.

AS the foremost statesman of his time
and the most universal genius in the
field of affairs since Napoleon, whatever
Prince Bismarck has to say on any polit-
ical subject merits the thoughtful atten-
ton Of the world. Recently, in the
course of a public address, the German
chancellor said:
THE success of the United States in
material development is the most illustri-
Gus of modern times. The American ma
ton has the not only successfully borne
and suppressed the most gigantic and eX-
pensive war OF all history, but immedi-
atelv afterward disbanded its army found
work for all its soldiers and marines, paid
off most of its debt, given labor and
homes to all the unemployed of Europe as
fast as they could arrive within the terri
tory, and still by a system OF taxation SO
indirect as not to be perceived, much less
felt Because it is my deliberate judg-
ment that the prosperity of America is
mainly due to its system of protective
laws, | urge that Germany has now
reached that point where it is necessary
to initiate the tariff system of the United
States"
1t must be matter of contemptuous
surprise to Prince Bismarck to learn that
a powerful party in the United States is
at work for free trade, though face to
face with the beneficent results of pro-
lection and sharers in the prosperity of
which it is the fruitful parent. 1t will
be hard for HIM to understand how the
partisanship of any class of American
citizens can be so blind and reckless as to
array it against the economic policy
which has carried the United States
through great war and over moment
Gus difficulties in finance, especially
when the alternative is a system which
is proposed for us by our historic enemies.
No doubt the prince will find an argu-
ment for his own form of government in
the fact that republic has no defense
against those who seek, by legal means,
and through mistaken and ignorant zeal,
to tear down the safeguards of It's pros

WOMEN POLITICIANS.

1t is trite old saw that factions speak
louder than words Equal suffragists
disclaim, in their public utterances, any
desire for office: they only want the
privilege of voting, but it Is notable
fact that whenever or wherever there Is
an opening for one of their number to
get an office, no difference what party
affiliations or combinations are necessary
to secure it, they put forward q candi-
date with as much eagerness as the most
pronounced office-seeking partisan
among men, and the candidate is as
keen to secure combinations as the varl-
GUS factions and issues usually are IN
making them. This has just been dem
onstrated in Butler and klngman coun-
ties. In Butler Miss Homer has been
nominated for superintendent OF public
instruction by the Prohibition, Union
Labor and Democratic parties in the
order named, and of course she has ac-
cepted ali and would take more if there
were any to offer. In Kingman Miss
Ella Frazier, who has always been Re-
publican, occupies the same position with
similar surroundings. The Sedgwick
county case has already been mentioned
in these columns. Talk about women
not wanting Office and not getting mixed
up in politics! They would just simply
crowd the men out and monopolize the
whole business if they could.

The two letters of acceptance lust
ublished-Harrison and Cleveland s.
show the positions of the Republican
and Democratic parties exactly. Harri-
sons letter sets forth plain facts, while
Cleveland's is the veriest demagoguery.
Harrison shows the Democratic party to
be in favor of tariff for revenue
only" without any of its protective
qualities, which England holds is their
free trade. The Democracy has stated
time after time that they are in favor
of a tariff that will secure Just
economically administered, and no
more. They simply want a tariff for
revenue only" and stop at that,
whether it protects or not. The Repub-
lican party is in favor Of protective
tariff that will not only secure sufficient
revenue but will protect us from foreign
competition at the same time.
Cleveland's demagoguery consists in
saying, in the face of the foregoing, that
the Democracy is not in favor of free
trade, in urging economy when his adj
ministration has spent $95, 200, 900 more
than the Garfield and Arthur admins
tration did, urging the reduction of the
surplus after permitting it to accumulate
for political buncumbe, in urging civil
service reform after making sweeping
changes in official positions, which
demonstrates that the president believes
in the old Democratic doctrine tina. to
the ''victors belong the spoils."

BEAT HIM IF YOU CAN.

From the Emporia Republican.
1T might be asked" says the Emporia
Democrat, why did not Republicans
nominate a man at least physically able
to stand up before Judge Martin" SO it
might. And it might be answered that
Republicans prefer to honor man who
was physically disabled by rebel bullets
in bravely defending his country rather
than an athlete who preserved his anat-
omy by ingloriously staying at home.
mendation is of little value in Demo-
cratic estimation, but the Republican
party may be pardoned for indulging in
its little weakness, especially as no out
slider has any right to dictate whom it
shall nominate. Mr.. Humphrey is the
choice of his party-beat him if you can.
