The republicans have got Blaine and they
do not know what to do with him.
Before the arrival of the great Maine
Statesmen they were wrought up TO a Won
derfui pitch Of expectancy, as to the potent
effect his presencc would have on the
republican campaign. Mr.. Blaine in Europe
was more talked of than General Harrison
at home, and finally, when the Little Rock
statesman arrived, the republican nominee
was completely ovcrshadowed in the en-
thusiasm which greeted the arrival of the
real leader For few days everything
worked beautifully MIR. Blaine caught the
country by the ear, and poured republican
doctrines into II TO the intense satisfaction
of party leaders, He spoke all the way
from New York 10 Augusta, and every re-
publican ia the country was delighted at
The oracles of the new Moses, except Gen
eral Harrison, and if he derived any degree
OF pleasure from Mr.. Blaine's overshadow-
Ing presence, it has not been so recorded.
But MIR, Blaine is man OF bluuders.
Before he had been home long enough to get
the dust of, he opened his mouth and planted
both Of his great American feet square into
1t, and unfortunately they have both become
lodged below his collar bone, and the re-
publican party linas itself in the position of
being compelled to either abandon Mr..
Blaine, or give mp the ghost.
Mr.. Blaine's trust speech did it.
lie had not been back home long enough
10 know that both parties had taken strong
antitrust positions, and, presuming that the
republican party was making the fight on
the same old monopoly and corporation
planks Of its past platforms, he came gal
lantly TO the rescue Of the infamous system
of commercial combinations against which
the whole American people are now en-
gagged in determined warfare.
To continue MIR. Blaine in the field, as its
beading advocate, would be for the republl-
can party to practically ndorse his views on
the trusts. To take Mr.. Blaine out of the
fight would be for the party to lose the SER
vices of the man on whose efforts they have
relied with supreme confidence to elect their
nominees.
What arc they to DO?
The ST. Louis Globe Democrat, one of
the most prominent republican organs In
The country, IN attempting 90 defend Mr.
Blaine, admits that "his remarks may have
been silly and Irrelevant, but nobody can
dislort them into defense OF the trusts
except by reoklesuess and mondacity
hdicrously diaproporuon8te to the effect
which the words have Oh the canvass"
Mr Bainc's words speak for themselves.
ho announced 10 SO many words that
trusts are private affairs about which tho
public have nothing TO DO. Thus II viii be
seen that bis words have very direct ei-
ieei on the pending canvass in which the
democratic party and the peoples interests,
on the one hand, are airayed against the re-
puphe"h party and the monopolists and op-
pressionis.s on tie other.

Republican Duplicity.

There seems TO be some doubt about the
senate being able to agree on tariff bill
This is all good for the democrats, for there
could be no better issue for the democratic
party than to go before the country on the
old tariff laws, with the republicans favor
ing them, and the democrats opposed to
them.
We have all along doubted the sincerity
of the republcans-wh they claimed
that as a party they were opposed to
the Internal revenue laws 1t is only re-
Gently this opposition was asserted and it
now appears that it is not genuine. We
notice another queer thing; that whenever
they come to vote on this question they al
ways stand up to the existing laws and it is
said that Senator Sherman is very partial to
these laws. In other words he believes in
them, and will not consent to a change
without fight.
This issue will have to come squarely be-
fore the people. These war taxes must 20,
and the party or men who back them will
not be sustained. 1t is only question of
time. The republicans have tried hard to
make capital ont of what is attempted by
the Mills bill, but they can have but little
to say, if they fail to submit better plan, to
meet the deficiencies of that bill. What the
people demand is some step toward reform
ing the tariff and it must come, and come
in the right way, and the party that brings
il about, SO as not to hurt American labor
will be entitled to the thanks Of the people.
1t will not do to say "let well enough
alone" because we have a surplus now that
would be dangerous if our treasury should
fall into corrupt hands. There is no need
for such surplus, and to get rid of it, by
wise and iuiicious legislation is what is de-
manded. The people will not hesitate to
hold up the hands of the party that honestly
makes an effort to reduce these taxes, and
above all else, to get rid of useless and I'm
necessary war taxes.
What we need in congress is statesman
ship, instead OF partisanship. The country
wants y tariff So levied that 1t will protect
American labor where it completes with
pauper labor Every phase of war taxation
should be abolished, and if the plan adopted
should, on trial, show adeGcency, it would
be an easy matter 10 make up the shortage
with proper income tax, which is the fair
est and best Of all taxes, because il falls ON
the men best able to pay IT,

Outdoing the Bagging Trust.


Tuesdays CONSTITUTION contained the
following item:
The farmers living around High Shoals factory have
seen the officers Of the factory. They have agreed
to take their cotton packed with three pine boards
bagging The farmers are now busy cutting and
splitting their pine boards six feet long, and all Of
their crop will be put up in these packages. They
claim that tagging has gone up to such price
that they cannot afford to buy it. and that it viii
pay the factory to buy cotton with the boards
around it.
This example well deserves emulation by
the cotton growers throughout the south.
They are not necessarily dependent upon
the bagging trust for the wrapping of their
crop of cotton, and the best thing to do is to
go to work at once and get out of the hands
of the monopolists, whose only object is to
squeeze blood tribute out of them.
If the farmers of the south will act con-
certedly in the matter, they can become in
dependent of the bagging trust. The
present price of bagging is simply out
rageoEs, and the farmers are justified in
their claim that they cannot afford to pay
it. The farmers around High Shoals factory
have taken the right step, and if those in
other sections of the south will do the same
thing, they will soon find that the price 0
bagging will be reduced to reasonable
figures.
If it is not, do without bagging and use
something else.

Some Doubtful States.

Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan and Califor-
MIA are by no means certain republican
states.
Indeed, there is a strong probability that
more than one of them will work its way
out of the republican column in the presi-
Dental election. The republicans realize
the fact that they have more uncertain
campaign on hand, to hold these states,
than they have had since the organization
of the party. They are contesting every
inch of ground, and the energy which they
have heretofore expended in states which
they considered doubtful, is now being de-
voted in part to these states which are as
doubtful today as New York. New Jersey,
and Connecticut were two years ago.
Chairman Brice, of the democratic execu-
tive committee, openly declares that Cleve-
land and Thurman will carry majority
of these states. The republicans will, of
course, not admit that their strength in
these states has decreased, but the intensi-
ty of the effort which they are making to
hold them is a certain indication that they
are convinced that it will take harder work
to carry them this time than ever before.
Chairman Brice considers the prospect of
! democratic victory in Iowa particularly
bright. Indeed, his satisfaction at the out
look in that state is such as to warrant him in
openly claiming it for the democrats. The
republicans are badly divided among them
selves, and the democrats are more united
than they have ever been. There has been
a constant decrease in the republican vote
of the state since Garfield carried it by
| 10000 majority. Blaine carried it by only
1900 majority, and in that period the
democratic vote increased over 10000.
| Chairman Clarkson, of the republican
national executive committee from Ohio,
has sounded the alarm to the republicans Of
the state, and admits that it can no longer
be considered certainly republican.
To say the least OF it, the situation in
Iowa augers well for the democracy. Even
if it loses the state it is wonderful evil
dence of the growth and strength of the
party to find a state which only few
years ago was the banner republican state
of the union, so closely divided as to be
doubtful, 1t simply means that Iowa will
fall into the democraetic column in short
while and that other western states will
join it.
Chairman Brice is now making triT
through those of the western states which
he considers doubtful and is confident that
| he will return with cheering news. Let Il!
| hope so.

The Fisheries Treaty.

1t is fortunate thing for the country at
this time that a democratic and conserva-
tive administration is in power; otherwise
the rejection of the fisheries treaty would
have tendency to create trouble between
the United States and Great Britain. We
have never been quite certain that the
treaty was the best that could have been
negotiated, but the republican party, with a
faulty that seems to be the chief character
istic of its leaders, chose to make it party
issue, and thus removed it altogether from
the field of impartial discussion.
1t is thought in some quarters that the re-
lection of the treaty will lead to trouble be-
tween the United States and Canada. In
deed, the organ Of the dominion govern
ment, the Halifax Herald says that trouble
is sure to follow the rejection of the treaty.
1t predicts that the Gloucester fishermen
will hasten to disregard the fishery laws and
regulations of Canada, and that the Cana
dian customs officials and cruisers will thus
be brought into unpleasant relations with
yankee INSTRUMENTATION that may ulti-
mately lead to open rupture. 1t predicts
also that all the disputes, denominations
and misrepresentation of the past will be
renewed with increased bitterness.
The Herald goes on TO say that it is APP
prehensive of a very serious complication,
but this apprehension, it seems, is not
shared by the leading British papers. The
London Times looks forward to no trouble,
and the Pail Mall Gazette goes SO far as to
characterize Senator MorSan's prodigious
speech in favor Of the treaty as mere bun
combe. The Gazette says that the rejection
of the treaty simply relegates the whole
question to an amicable settlement after the
presidential election"
Although the treaty is rejected, the modus
vivendi does not fall with it. The licenses
issued pending the discussion Of the treaty
still remain in force, and viii continue
until next spring These licenses have
served every purpose that the treaty would
have served had il boon adopted.
II isn noticeable fact that no republican
VINO has argued against the treaty, which
las been rejected by The senate, has offered
an amendment. The plan seems 10 be to
afford Brother Blaine (if be should unfor-
! tuuately come 90 be Die practical president
Of the United States) an opportunity 20 20
/ o. war wish Great Britain.
Fortunately, there Is no likelihood that
Brother Blaine will become acting presi-
dent.
