During the war the democrats
called Abraham Lincoln, a Nero, an
ape, a butcher, an ignOramus, a trai-
tor, baboon, a bloody tyrant, and
other vile names. Those charges
were all false. To-day if a repub-
Ican even hints at the charges made
by some of the more decent demo
Gratis themselves against their candi-
date without even mentioning his
name, the Phillipsburg Democrat
fires up all over, and calls such re-
publicans TRAITORS" Republicans
did not originate those charges
against the democratic candidate
hence are not responsible for them.
The Democrats quarrel should be
with the two democratic ministers OF
the gOspel-the men who first made
the charges against their leader in
stead of with us. The HERALD would
not have brought forward these IN
pleasant things had our contempt
rary not assailed US so savageIy and
that without provocation. The bull
doing method is not always the best
to adopt toward the HERALD when
we have facts to back us up in the
position we assume.

Some people seem to be mixed up
ON the tariff question. 1t would
seem that they are unable to under
stand the difference between the tar
if duty levied on foreign goods i'm
ported into this country, and the In
ternal Revenue tariff. Now the pro
teetive tariff is a system of laws that
requires the foreign manufacturer to
pay the government a certain sum OF
money for the privilege of selling his
goods IN American markets while the
Internal Revenue tax is a tax levied,
not on foreign goods, but on goods
manufactured in the United States.
This tax posses no protective feature
whatever.

do know and that is if the Repub-

The daily papers remark that there
was very marked difference be-
tween the late Republican and Dem
oeratic State conventions. The Re
publican was decorous, dignifed, and
impressed the spectator with the idea
that 1t was a gathering of intelligent
clear-headed, thoughtful men. The
Democratic convention was bolster
Gus, noisy, and undignifed, and act
ed like a crowd of half intoxicated,
angry fellows who were spoillng for

when the bribing of members OF Parliament

In America we congratulate ourselves upon
happy adjustment of the branches of gov
ernment that we have relied on to protect us
from this most demoralizing form of corrup-
ton. Yet today it is openly talked through
out the country that the" influence" of the ad-
ministration has been sufficient to bring over
enough of Mr.. Randall's protectionist fol-
lowers to pass the Mills bill. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal explains how this has been done by the
man who cannot be called the modern Wal
pole simply because he is not a statesman.
The Representatives from districts where wool
growing is an important industry have been the
most dlilenlt to capture, but unfortunately for
those who are opposing this legislation, consid-
erable number of them do not anticipate re-elec-
ton. Their whole political future Is, therefore,

Certain classes of persons arrogating to them
selves the title Of exclusive friends Of temper
ance have conceived certain ideas regarding the
use OF alcoholic stimuants. and they have set
about stopping the manufacture and sale OF those
stimulsnts Starting with the assumption that that
destroy annually the lives OF vast number OF the
population; that they are the direct cause Of
nearly all the crimes that are committed, they
invoke the active cooperation Of all persons in
the task they have undertaken. Finding the
great mass OF the people incredulous as 70 the
ness OF their statistics and unwilling, therefore,
70 enter with them upon crusade TO destroy
what they deem useful and necessary when prop
erly used, those zealots have undertaken TO CO.
cree them, assuming guardianship over them.
The above Is from the Belfast organ Of
Personal Liberty. 1t would be difficult to
conceive of more utter disregard of the
facts than this paragraph contains. The
assumption that but few persons are inter-
ested in the suppression of the manufacture
and sale Of liquor, and that they have sue
ceeded In coercing the great mass of people
into passing laws for that purpose is decid-
edly refreshing. OF course the Belfast pa
per knows perfectly well that the prohibi-
tory law was first enacted only after very
vigorous contest, In which both sides
of the question were ably argued
throughout the length and breadth of
the State. The Belfast paper knows
perfectly well too that it was the votes Of
the masses that put that law on the statute
book and has kept it there with only a short
intermission ever since. To claim at this
late day, when prohibition has been the poll
cy Of the State for more than a quarter OF a
century, when Legislature after Legislature
has ratified IT, and the people have by their
votes embedded 1t In the Constitution, that it
is favored only by a few and misrepresents
the sentiment Of the people in general is
absurd. ff-

In his much talked of essay on America
Matthew Arnold gives 1t as his opinion that
the poor man is not so terribly wronged and
oppressed as the free traders in our midst
would have us believe. Indeed. II is the bur-
den of Mr.. Arnold's criticism Of America
that everything is regulated over here for the
advantage Of the man with small income,
without due regard for the men having ff-
teen hundred dollars year and upwards.
"To begin WITH" he says, "the humber
kind of work is better paid in America than
with us, the higher kind worse. The official,
for instance, gets less. his office-keeper gets
more. The public ways are abominably cut
up by rails and blocked with horse-cars; but
the inconvenience is for those who use pris
vate carriages and cabs. the convenience is
for the bulk of the community who, but for
the horse-cars, would have to walk. The or
dinary railway cars are not delightful, but
they are cheap. and they are better fur
nished, and In winter are warmer than third
class carriages In England. Luxuries are
as have said, very dear-above all. Euro
pean luxuries but workingman's clothing
is nearly as cheap as In England. and plain
food is on the whole cheaper. Even luxur-
les Of certain kind are within laboring
mans easy reach. have mentioned ice,

The row between the Irish aldermen of
New York city and Mayor Hewitt, occa-
stoned by the latter's refusal to allow the
Irish flag to float over City Hall on st. Pat
rlck's day, has so far developed that both
parties cannot do otherwise than pursue it to
the bitter end. The full text Of Mayor
Hewitt's recent message to the aldermen
shows very courteously worded but sting
Ing document. He reminds the Irish that
while they number but 1916 per cent. of the
population Of New York, they have repre-
sentation on the board Of aldermen equal to
27 per cent. They are equally well repre-
sented In all the other departments, even
better on the police force, which contains
2s.10 per cent of Irishmen. The Germanf,
he says, who have 1885 per cent. of New
York's population, on the other hand have
but Ala per cent. OF the city appointments.
He also asserts that while they are more
honored than other foreign born citizens.
they also furnish more than their share Of
the burdens of the community; since they
furnish 36.S per cent of the inmates of the
charitable and penal institutions of the city,
against 1913 furnished by the Germans and
14.7 furnished by all other citizens Of foreign
birth. 1t is to be regretted that Mayor
Hewitt allowed himself to thus vent his
spleen by reminding his Irish fellow citizens
Of a misfortune for which foreign op-
pressors are responsible; all the more unfor-
tunate because the closing words Of this
remarkable message embody sentiment
that appeals to the breast Of every patriotic
American, wherever born; 'The American
people, made up Of many elements, Is toler-
ant, long-suffering and slow to anger, but
they regard the flag as the symbol Of nation
ality, and they will surely resent any propo-
sitions which look to the recognition Of any
other idea OF sovereignty, within the limits
Of the Union, than that which is embodied in
the national flag, sanctifed as 1t is in their
hearts by glorious and tender memories of
priceless sacrifice"

The purchase of votes by political 'heel-
ers" In Rhode Island was not the less high
crime because 1t seems to have been partici-
pated in by both parties and encouraged
by some church members. But the improper
influencing of voters Is a crime that has
probably existed wherever popular soyer-
eighty has existed. But there is another
crime against popular sovereignty, even
more alarming than corruption at the
polls; 1t is the crime of improperly inhuenc
ing chosen representatives of the people, the
men whose venality not only degrades them
selves and the institutions Of their country
but constitutes most fragrant betrayal of
public trust. And the most alarming form
of this crime is not when the representative
is won over by the bribe on the promise of
crafty lobbyist or an interruptions corpora
tion but when the administrative depart
ment Of the government itself uses its pow
er and resources to influence the members of
the legislative branch. For the loyal Eng
