One of the most interesting figures in
the Republican National Convention
which met at Chicago Tuesday was the
now venerable John G. Fremont, the
Pathfinder" the standard bearer of the
party In Its first organized campaign for
tie Presidency. Counting from that of
1859, which nominated Fremont and
Dayton. this is the ninth quadrennial
convention Of the Republican party, and
Tor the first time In history that covers
more than the period Of a generation Its
representatives meet with no common
purpose or policy and with no inspirs-
ton whatever save that afforded by a
personal contest for the spoils.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The convention at Chicago is Blaine
meeting. But Blaine has gone coachin.,
with Carnegie and the convention does
not know whether Blaine's refusal is CO
quetery or final.
The convention wants Blaine badly
because they know he Is the only one
who can properly exploit the fslsehood
and fraud of the party In times of alleged
patriotism The Republican party is
badly off 1t does not see principle ex-
Dept protection, and they know they can
be beaten on that.
Their candidate Is sick And the health
bulletin will not make him we'll man.
Still they must nominate Blaine.
The other nonentiiies would beat the
party, and Sherman would give the party
away by reason of his record.
Blaine 1t Is.
Good for the Democracy, for We can
beat him now as we did before.

The Republicans continue to give them
selves away. In the convention the two
State delegations which contended for
the privilege of furnishing the temporary
chairman for the Republican National
Convention, who was expected to strike
the keynote OF its proceedings, were
those of California and Nebraska. In
spite Of the sntimonopoly and anti.
corporation feeling that is said to pre-.

The Chicago convention could not be

race. 1t Is Blaine concern and q repre-.
tentative of the Republican idea of

sentatives Of the corruption power, and
Alger prominent exponent of wealth
acquired In protected interest, but
any candidate nominated at Chicago will
perforce be the exemplar of the monop-
olist tendencies Of the time. Blaine, the
incarpation of the prevalent spirit Of his
party and the first choice of two-thirds
Of the convention, stands distinctly fol
the corporations.

II the devils deputy has hall as much
TO do with the policy as the character OF
II means, then Bob Ingersoli is the yer,
man to take the Republican party to-
well, we'll say. Halifax or Hagers'own.
The internal impudenee Of putting the
country on war taxes in time OF peace
and making 5O,OOO,OoO Of people pay
tribute TO 10000, 900, Is just such a para
dox as Bob Ingersoll could champion. he
believes In the devil at so cents lecture
and "a a fit representative and exponent
Of the party that in this age OF freedo"
orono.es to make people pay twice as
much for the necessary articles of every
dsy life as people in other countries 90
The Republican party says that II pro
,ects American labor.
How about the strikes. They are
caused By the rich manufacturers VINO
o,r, the home market, and then "sh'i'
down because they want the hands To
strike. -,
All the time they sell the goods while
the factory is shut down
They open again when the surplus Is
sold and the workmen have to come 10
again for anything the monopo''S'
chooses to pay.
Now If the markets of the world were
o,on n the American workmen they can
boat the world. and there could not be a
"sbut down." because the supply would
demand one hundred times the produc'
a. now and there would be ten times as
many manufacturers.
This is a simple problem of supply an'
demand. We fought the revolution De
cause England denied the market OF 'he
world TO American manufacturers

tina, his superior handicraft can success
fully compete with the whole world
The demand for labor will be greater
and the wages will be greater, because a
little ring of monopolists cannot control
the market,
But AS it Is, the American artisan can
only work for the home market, which Is
in the hands of the few monopolisis by
virtue Of protective tariff that stops all
competition, and kills the consumer a.
well as the producer. We have called
attention constantly to the fact that
across the st. Lawrence river people get
their clothes for one-half of what we pay
From the shoe and sock up TO the hat the
price 10 a third less than what we pay.
1t is In vain that the Republicans cry
Stree trade" simply because the citizen
demands that the Government shall not
make him pay 80 per cent tribute on his
shoes. socks, trousers, waistcoat, coat
and hat.
We want the Republican party to
answer this question if they can, viz
Why shall the people Of the United States
pay more for their clothes than the peo-
pie in Canada:
