Chairman Brice, Of the democratic
national committee, was int erviewed
last Sunday by the reporters, who
wanted to know what he thought of the
effect Mr.. Blaine would have in the

The San Francisco Examiner says
'"Of course the leaders of the republican
party, the men of bright minds anu
clear heads, do not believe in tho nom
sense about a connection between the
tariff and wages. They know that the
price of labor depends on the demand
and supply, and is no more governed
by customs duties than by police regu-
lations. But republicans have a robust
and abiding trust in the stupidity OF the
American people. They are firm in
their faith that the American laborer
can DO frightened out OF his senses by
the mere assertion that his wages are
going to be cut down. They are posi-
tive that he is so grossly Ignorant That
he believes governments can regulate
wages by interfering with business.
They arc confident that he will believe
anything he is told. Whether they are
right or wrong we shall not know Tor
SURF till after the election. It'll simply
Il question of brains. The democratic
idea has always been that everybody is
wiser than anybody, and that the rank
and file of American wOrkmen, when
fully appraised of tho facts, are safe to
be trusted TO decide the most difficult
problems of politics. The republican
idea is that it is safe betting the rank
and file of American w~OrkIngmen will
decide wrong. This difference OF
opinion springs in a measure from the
education of the leaders of tho two
parties. AS a rule, the leaders OF
the democracy graduated from very
humble schools. But the leaders OF
,the republican party were generally
reared III the purple. They are the
flower and the gaud of American
plutocracy. They are presidents OF
banks, directors of railroads, trustees
of manufacturing establishments; they
have grown fat by the taxation of the
people tor their benefit, and naturally
enough, they entertain contempt for the
intellect of a class which could so per-
NIT itself to be robbed. They cherish
a lofty scorn for the common people.
November will show whether the
workingmen of California are tho sort
of fools the republican leaders take
them TO be.

After seven months of persistent
complaint against the democrats OF the
house for unsettling business by tariff
agitation, says the Philadelphia Times,
the republicans of the senate have
finally decided that they must begin
tariff agitation by preparing a tariff
revision and revenue reduction bill and
pass it in the senate. Will they pre-
pare and pass a bill In the interests of the
country or of the party2 They vindi-
cate tariff agitation by confessing the
necessity of tariff revision, and will
they revise our tariff laws to promote
industry or to promote party? When
James G. Blaine was speaker of the
house he favored free coal, free salt and
free lumber, and aided in passing bills
through the republican house making
those articles free. Are not free coal,
free lumber and free salt ever more
important now than they were them
Senator Hale was the leader of the
house in passing a bill for free coal, free
lumber and free salt, when tariff re-
vision was treated as a business and
not a partisan question. Senator Haw-
ley supported and voted for free coal
and other free raw materials only u few
wears ago, when there were no supreme
political necessities to control tariff
Legislation. In 1870, when tho tariff
duties were 7.0s per cent, or less than
they are now, (47. 10Y Senator Sherman
denounced our tariff duties as "unex-
ampled in our country and higher by
nearly so per cent. than they were in
1861" and he protested against them az
endangering the whole protective sys-
tenn. Senator Allison, who is a leading
spirit in framing the new enate bill,
favored free coal, free lumber and free
salt when political masters did not die
tate tariff legislation, and he declared
the tariff of 1916, $50 far as regards all
the great interests of the country, as
perfect a tariff as the country eve had"
Three republican presidents-Grant,
Garfield and Arthur-and two republi-
can secretaries of the treasury, have
officially urged free raw materials to
enlarge markets for their products
With these pointed tributes to the chief
features of the house tariff bill from the
leaders Of the republicans, will they
deal honestly with labor and repeal oil

The question of the political com,i-

The Philadelphia Record has been
making Investigations into the condi-

the Wyoming coal fields of Pennsylva-
MIA. II finds that there are 5000 Hun
garians and Poles and 1900 or 1000
Italians in the valley-abOut one-third
OF the entire number of laborers. Last
year 1000 Hungarians and Poles came
into tho region directly from Castle
Garden. To show that this influx of
population consists largely of imported
laborcrs, the Record publishes a state
ment of a member of the coal pool,
who stated that in 1887 the coal
operators of the anthracite region,
after consultation, decided that in order
to keep the labor in the coal fields in
subsection it was necessary to do
two things; first, to make twice as
many coal openings as were necessary
to supply the demand, and, second, 10
get a supply of cheap foreign labor
large enough to overstock the region,
so that when any trouble should arise
there would be plenty of surplus labor
on hand, and if a strike should occur at
one point the supply of coal could he
kept up at another point.
