The very general dissatisfaction
with the insipidlty of the tariff plank
in the republican platform. is voiced
as follows by the Minneapolis Tri.
bune: The Hon. Gordon E. Cole,
whose views are singuIarly at
variance with those of the republican
party of the United States, but who
aspires regularly and periodically Co
write the p1atfeEln Of the republican
patty Of Minnesota, was, conspicuous
q asGal yesterday in connection
with the work OF the committee on
resolutions. he is probably in no
small degree responsible for the
evasive. meaningless and therefore
cowardly plank that treats the tariff
question. The convention ought to
have been ashamed to allow such q
bit of oracular nonsense to pass
without protest or challenge. TIE
Alliance people had soms,-Sisws on
the tariff question: and had sense
AZ
enough. ana nd courage enough to
express them. The democrats will
not fail this year to adopt tariff
plank that can be understood. Bnt
the republicans of Minnesota, belong
TO the party in power, that il
responsible for the actual treatment
Of the tariff issue, have the Habbiness
20 adopt a tariff resolution that il
intended to read three or four ways
like an Ivory-soap advertisement, and
that means absolutely nothing at all
The repHblicaRs Of Minnesota stand
committed to the following remark
able sentiment:
THAT, having the requirements Of
the government In view, our tariff
laws should be so adjusted az to best
protect our American industries an6
bear fairly and equitably on al
sections of the country"
There are certain ancient politica
hacks who stay in the republican folt
of 3finnesOts for the crumbs they car
gather, or for some reason unknown
snd who are afflicted with astuteness
They believe that these sUbtiltiel
and tricks of language, which MAKE
platforms place where honest opin
ions are disguised, to be part anC
parcel of Bhrewd politics. But they
are either old fools or old humbugs

II there was spot on earth where the
concentrating of vast manufacture
ing population would give the sur.
rounding agriculturists convenient
and profitable home market for all
they could raise, IL ought to be Berks
county. Yet there, as everywhere, the
"home market" proves dclusion. The
decrease in the agricultural popula-
ton OF the county tells its own tale OF
the unprohtableness OF farming in
what was once one Of the richest agri-
cultural counties Of the common
wealth. The tendency of protection
is only to double the cost TO the far
mer of every thing he has TO buy,
without increasing the price of what
he has to sell, and thus, in spite of
swelling cities and villages around
him, his business decays.

The mistake OF Farmer Wilson was
that he paid any attention TO this i'm
pudent blackmailer. He should have
pitched his demand into the waste
basket and not given 1t another
thought. In the course OF heated
campaign it often becomes necessary
to spend more or less money for effect

there are always state. county, ward
and precinct committees to attend to
such business with which the less the
candidate has to do the better. IL

The fact that, instead of applying to
them he makes his demand on Mr..

to whom he is total stranger, shows
that he is nothing but an impudent
matchmaker.

Ii Is said In the census Office at
Washington that II congress remains
In session until September LIST. it can
adopt bill providing for congress
sional re-apportionment so as to take
effect before the November elections,
which will very materially change the
complexion Of the house in the sd
congress.
But will congress be in hurry TO
make that app0rt0nment? All the
interest the present congress has in
the matter Is the best means to secure
Republican majority in the next
house. Will new apportionment?
From present appearances, under the
new appOrtionment there will be heavy
losses Of members uf congress in the
New Englond and Middle States, and
small gains only in the northwestern,
all the heavy gains being in the South.
For example: st. Louis in the past
ten years, has risen from $50, 900 to
44S, 900; Louisville from $4,000 to $780,
900; Memphis from $4,000. TO $4,000;
Nashville from 43, 600 to 1000: Allan
Ia from $1,000 TO $1,000: Savannah
from 10000 to $4,000; Dalton from TO-
to 80, 900: Galveston from $1,000 to 3d.
600; Chattanooga from 1900 to A, 900:
Birmingham from 5000 to $1,000: Fort
Worth, Texas, from 5000 to 1900.
And with this heavy increase in the
cities there is said to be no such de-
crease in the agricultural districts at
the South as in the North. Under
such an outlook will it pay" the Re-
publicans in congress to make a new
apportionment? They will probably
find it more profitable to stick to the
Lodge bill.

three other papers, and told roundly
''if you would like the support of my
papers during the campaign" he must
come down at once with $50. To this
Mr.. Wilson replied that he was 1.-The
nominee of the Democratic party and
as such he had the right to expect the

PALMER AND CONSISTENCY.

The Ottawa Republican,, along with
numerous other republican papers in
the State, is taking great comfort
from a series of letters being published
in the Springfield Jomnoi written by
one John Dean and addressed to Gen.
John NJ. Palmer, Overhauling the rec
ord of the latter as southern Illinois
Democrat 30 and 40 years ago. For
example, Palmer was member Of the
State Constitutional Convention Of
lS47, and as such voted for the clause
in the constitution adopted by that
body fOrbidding the immigration Of
negroes into the state. If our es-
teemed contemporary viii examine the
list Of members Of that convention
and note the names recorded in favor
of the clause referred to he will prob
ably be surprised to find how many
good subsequent republicans are in
the category. Southern Illinois at
that time was overrun with the very
dregs and offscourng Of the free negro
population Of the border slave states,
and its people wanted no more Of them
The whites Of all classes in that region
held very radical notions on the sub
ject, as was shown IN the next but one
legislature after the constitution Of
1913 was adopted, when that model re-
publican statesman, the sainted John
A. Logan, won such renOwn as the au-
thor and supporter OF the famous
''black laws" which that legislature
passed in compliance with the cOnsti-
tutional requirement, and which, by
the way, our neighbor may be surprised
to learn the OTTAWA FREE TRADER
at the time denounced as barbarOus
and unchristian. Oh, yes politicians
had queer notions in those days, not
only about 'niggers,' but banks, cur
rency, judges, schools, and good
many other things. IT you propose to
hang every man for idiosyncracies and
follies Of those days that don't square
with the more enlightened ideas of the
present, beware you don't have good
many gallows to erect for your friends.
The John M. Palmer in the cOnstitu
tiOnal convention Of 1913 was certain
ly very different man from the Gen.
Palmer in charge of the Department
of Kentucky in 1864. The former, it
must be admitted. was a trfle Logan
ish in his hostility to "niggers;' the
latter was threatened with assaSsina-
ton for showing too much friendship
for "the colored people"
Henry Clay on memorable occa-
sion, when accused of inconsistency,
expresses his contempt for politician
who never changed his mind. Times
and seasons change and with them po-
litical exigiencies and proprieties.
Charles Sumner started in political
life as Democrat, and came near dy
ing one, but most OF his intermediate
career was an embodied abhorrance of
the very name.
Politics often make strange bed-fel-
lows and the whirligig of time brings
odd reyenges. 1t is the height Of folly
to undertake to fight a man in these
days on his record before the war. AT
the end Of an upheayal like that, it
would he as unreasonable as absurd to
expect man to land on the same hill
lock upon which he stood before the
cataclysms.
