THE PALMER PLAN.

Ger. Palmer has neither announced him
self as = candidate for the U. S. Senate
from this state 10 succeed Senator Fsrwell
nor has he said he will accept such candi.
dacy If offered him. He has, however
given such strong and forcible reasons In
favor of his plan TO have candidate, that
It Is earnestly TO be hoped the Democrats
of Illinois will not fail unanimously to
adopt 1t. The Palmer plan is simply that
hereafter each of the great political parties
In the state, at their next convention to
nominate candidates for Treasurer and
other state officers, shall also nominate a
candi date for L. .. Senator, such candidates
to receive the votes, In the next legislature
of the senators and representatives elected
by each party respectively.
This was the way In which the great
battle between Lincoln and Douglas was
arranged in this state In 1858, and never Ia
the political history of the country was a
political contest waged more manly, digni'
fed, instructive and farreaching In Its
l
beneficial results.
The arguments In favor of the Palmer
plan are so obvious as hardly to need re-
hearsal The present method of electing
U. s. Senators is by caucus of the men,
bers of the legislature belonging TO the
party In the majority. The caucus Is
usually divided on two or three candidates
between whom half dozen of rascals hOlc
the balance of power. These sell out to
the candidate having the most money, and
the choice falls ON whom not third of the
caucus really wanted
But for this method, would Simon Cam
eron ever have been In the U. s. Senate, or
his son Don How did Leland Stanford
get there from California or Teller, from
Colorado or Farwell, from Illinois or
Ingalls,, from Kansas or Sabin, from Min.
nesota ; or Jones, from Nevada etc, etc.
The truth is the U. 8. Senate has degener-
ated into set of plutocrats as devoted to
the building up and exaltatlon of the
IlouCJ poWOt III Nuio SouhuJ 40 tho III AtAcA
House of Lords Is to upholdlng the vested
privilege of the peerage.
The Palmer plan would change all this.
In place Of the caucus 1t would set up the
will of the people, as 1t now controls the
presidential election by instructing the
members of the electoral college by direct
vote. The plan is simple enough. The
only thing to do Is for the Democratic
party year hence to make Its nomination
and go before the people In the Legislative
canvass. Let the Republicans In general
and ChaS b. Farwell In particular decline
to follow suit If they dare ! They will find
that no millionaire will be able TO buy q
seat In the U. s. Senate when the purchase
involves halt a million of uncorruptible
voters instead of half dozen of rascals
holding the balance of power In caucus

pROTECTIONIsM AND THE PROFESSORS

The Free Traders are "bad men," OF
course. They aim to give every man
chance, and no favor to trusts or monopolie:
in any form. They may be also mean men
but they can hardly equal the contemplate
meanness Of the protectlonists now
wsgiug war on the professors Of political
economy who occupy chairs In some OF oul
colleges. In the science of political econ.
omy, protectionism Is fallacy that has nc
place In the expositions of the science as
laid down by every unprsiudiced authority
In Europe and America. As natural con-
sequence, every professor of the science In
America, practically, teaches his classes
"free trade" as the only scientific point OF
view In which trade and commerce can be
studied.
The attention Of protectiOnists has been
called TO this terrible state of affairs
Though they claim that the graduates are
all protectionists, nevertheless II is not "be-
coming" for young men to study aXioms
which can be applied on all occasions
Therefore, war has been declared on the
"free trade professors"
The first free trader" to feel the brun,
of the attack was Prof. Canield of the
Kansas University, who has keen kicked
out of his chair, which has been filed by
Prof BIackmer of the University OF the
Pacific, "whose political economy" says
the american Economist (prOtectionist)
"agrees with the 10th census, and that OF
the American statesman from Hamilton
(sic) to Judge Kelley" Prof. Blackmel
will doubtless be willing and able to adjust
his opinions TO suit his employers, even II
they Go conflict with the science of polit
ical economy, which seems to be played
out In Kansas.
Having disposed of Prof Garfield, the
guns have been opened on Prof. Henry G
Adams of the University Of Michigan, who
is charged with teaching the "pernicious
doctrine" that "all the benefits conferred by
the tariff go to the landlords and monopo-
lists Prof Adams has not been "bounc-
ed' as yet, but from the pressure that Is
being brought to bear on the Board OF
Regents by the high tax beneflciaries, his
removal will not BIZ an unexpected event
or If that body does not remove him, the
legislature may force resignation by cut
ting off the supplies.
Then, having disposed of Adams, the
guns will no doubt be turned on Taussig OF
Harvard, Summer of Yale, Ely of John
Hopkins, and so on ad It,, until every man
who has the name of scholar will be sub
stituted by Pennsylvania bred high tar
iffite who can ignor science, history and
every day expesience and do the dirty work
of the Carnegie's ct i'd omne genus.

incandescent and arc lights, and with arc
lights, they surely ought in three weeks
to figure out something But possibly the
wrong company made the loves, bid. That's
different, of course.
Speaking of electric lighting, Prof. Ely Of
John Hopkins University, who has given o
great deal Of his time to problems Of NUM-
opal government, has been investigating this
subject. Among other data furnished him
by cities running their own plants, were the
following figures Of the cost of electric light
ing at Dunkirk, N. Y, (steam plant) for
October, 1888: The average number Of arc
lights run were IS, at a fetal cost of $225. 28
for the month, with coal at $l.65 The lamps
were run Q total of 1854 1-6 hours, and were
of 1000 candle power.
The FEEE TRADER does not pretend to
know the city can do better or not-with
the present bids in-by owning Its own
plant. The lowest of the bidders says the
pTlCc 10 loWeE tuou tuos ~ VhAoA PAooooiy
any city in the U. s. is buying light, which
is probably true; and that the bid would
yield no profit to the bidders, nothing above
per cent. in the investment. Certainly,
counting the quality and quantity Of light
the city has never been able so far to do as
well by the contract system.
But there is way for the city to find out
whether or not il would be more profitable
to it to own Its plant: by Investigation. Az
rors owns its own plant after having bought
its light for several years; Elgin is similarly
situated; Joliet and Bloomington are putting
in public plants, doubtless after thorough in
vestigstion. Besides that, Fred H. Whip
pie Of Detroit has just finished Q handbook
for the benefit Of gas committees, on electric
lighting, which Is said to contain more infor-
nation of value to city officials contemplate
ing the adoption Of an electric system Of
stree. lighting than probably any other pub
location. Mr.. Whipple does not NEEDLE
with the scientific questions which surround
the subject Of electric lighting, and uses few
technical terms. He shows the layman the
difference in expense between the contract
system and the ownership of plant, tells

The veto of Mayor Cregier of the Stands

Chicago to the heart Of the city, shows that
Mr.. Cregier has thorough comprehension
of his responsibility as mayor, at least In
the matter of granting franchises. There

watching or the intelligent exercise of
