 The policy of protection to the wages Of labor has been prostituted to the most rapacious greed; t has bred hated combines and trusts until nearly all that labor buys must pay tribute to this organized robbery of the masses under color of law, and fl tho friends of pro tection refuse to eliminate the honest protection of labor wages from the monopoly taxes of the Mckinley tariff, they will destroy protection and entomb it with slavery as another monumental suicide.

 HOW THE FARMERS VOTED.
Facts and Figures Showing the Position

Facts and Figures Showing the Position
 of the People on the Tsrif Issue.
 In all the Northwestern agricultural States the issue before the people in the last election was the Mckinley tariff bill. The farmers do not like the policy of that measure, and showed by their votes for Congressmen that they propose to throw off the excessive burdens of protection.
 In Indiana in 1888 the Republican plurality in the Congressional vote was 4,57t This year the Democratic pla- rality amounted to 34.99S.
 In Minnesota the Republican plural ity of 1888 was S1, 456. This year the Democratic plurality was 14, O76
 In Kansas the Republican plurality on the Congressional vote of two years ago was 7s,0O0; this year the opposition carried the State by more than 12,000
 The farmers of Nebraska gave to tho Democratic and Alliance candidates for Congress an aggregate plurality of about 29,00o. In 1888 the Republican candidates plurality amounted to 25,- 000
 In Iowa the Republicans carried the Congressional districts in 1888 by 2S,- 0o0 This year the Democrats win by 5000.
 The verdict against the tariff law in Illinois was very emphatic. In 1888 the Republican plurality was 27,667; this year the Democratic plurality is 34, 800
 1t is to Congress that the farmers look for relief from the burden of tariff taxa tion, and it is apparent from their fig ures that they have done their utmost to defeat the men responsible for the Mckinley bill.
 In these six States the Republicans have 41 Representatives in the present House and the Democrats IS. In the next House the Democrats will have A and the Republ leans l5.
 There is no doubt as to the position of the farmers on the tariff issue. IN. Y World

A PARTY OF THE PAST.

Force and Fraud Have 1Faa Their Day
 and Give Way to Betfer Things.
 The Republicans have had no end Of fun at the expense of the alleged Bour- bon Democrats who learned nothing and forgot nothing while they were out of power. Their writers and speakers have humorously described tho old Colonels of the South who preferred to live in the past and refused to keep step with the progress of the age
 The Republican sense of humor is easily tiekled at times, and the fancy pictures so frequently drawn of the al- legged Bourbons and Southern Colonels never failed to excite the amusement of the insolent and swaggering yictors.
 But the partisans whose knell of doom has been sounded are at last be- ginning to see themselves as others see them. 4 rude shock has clarified their vision, and they see an uDcouth figure, half soldier, half bushwhacker, in a time of profound peace, frown- ing upon the honest toilers around him, levying tribute in the shape of a robber tariff, and threat ening to draw his sword when protest is made. In this guise ap- pears the Republican party today, a quarter of century after the closeof the war. It is the same old combination of force and fraud that loomed mp in the earpet-bag governments Of reconstruc- tion times.
 Talk about Bourbons and fossil Colonelsl They areprogressive twenti- eth-century men by the side of these warlike bummers. whose sole stock in trade consists of the passions and issues of generation ago.
 The Republican leaders are beginning to see their party from a new point of view. If ever party stood still and lived in the past, it is the party of Me Kinley and Reed. It has stood in the way of peaceful progress; it has nursed sectionalism, and 1t has raised its voice for war when the people were ready to forgive and forget It has tried to turn this Republic into plutocracy; 1t has footed the public treasury, and it has threatened to perpetuate it's rule with bayonets.
 There is no longer room in this coun- try for such party. It is party of the past, and it will soon be only matter of history. It has outlived it's day, and is dying It will not be mourned-tri- umphant Democracy will soon heal the scars that it has left behind. Atlanta Constitution.

Distress of the Republicans Over Imagin-
 ary Difficulties.

ary Difficulties.
 The Republican papers manifest the most touching solicitude lest their friends, the enemy" shall act unwisely in the organization of the next Con- gress and in the measures 1t shall pro- pose. They turn away from their own griefs, and, perhaps, hope to mitigate them in picturing coming fellowship in misfortune The selection of the sue cessor of Speaker Reed is a prominent source of nneasiness to them. At times they see ''the Confederacy in the sad dle;" again 0 combination of the South and West against the East and embarrassment growing out of the assumed Presidential aspirations of certain prominent Democrats. If the diversion of their minds in this direction affords any relief, there should be too much humane spirit and cheerfulness over the situation among the elements that have aided in the chastisement Of the politically wayward, Co desire to interrupt these Republican efforts. Still, there need be little men, tai fatigue induced by rapid movement, as it is a whole year before the Demo cratic House will meet and the natural processes of evolution may alleviate their stress in that time The Demo- crats will have excellent material to select from, and the man they put in place of Reed may not wear sash, but he will Do Q gentleman and humane man.
