TARIFF CoNFERREEs.

The rush of importers to get in their
stocks before the MCKINLEY bill is
passed is the strongest evidence Of the
oppressivenesS of that measure on all
commercial interests. The rush has
been so great as to cause drain on the
money supply of the country that has
brought us to the verge of financial
crash. Investments in Western prop
critics have been paralyzed for the pres
ent by the demand for money in the
East. and it has all been done for the
benefit of CARNEGIE's iron, the twine
trust, the cutlery association, the blooded
ram raiSers in Ohio, and other pets of
that ilk.
The little relief promised by the SEN
ate amendments is likely to vanish
under the touch of the conference COM
mittee. While the conferrees sit with
closed doors and with closed mouths,
enough escapes through the keyhole of
the conference room to indicate that
Tom REED, in his capacity as rajah of
the house, is getting the best of it all
around. 1t has been his purpose from
the beginning to force the MCKINLEY
bill on the country in its original form,
and the chances are that he is going to
succeed. Mr.. REED stands hand in
hand with the Irvine trust, as be does
with all the combines, and he has
promised them that binding Irvine
shall not go on the free list. Having
been invested with autocratic power by
the body over which he presides. Mr..
IC n 70 l, ic
promises. AS for the reciprocity amend
ment Mr.. REED has personal reason
to have it knocked out. 1t gives him
one more opportunity, and, perhaps, the
final one, to administer blow to the
other "Man from Maine." Ii he can
eliminate the reciprocity feature from
the bill, he will succeed in dropping Mr..
BLAINE to the position of political back
number, and will enable Rajah REED
to ride roughshod into the presidential
nomination over the wreck of his rivals
reputation. BLAINE has been stronger
in the senate than REED, but by some
sort OF political jugglery BLAINE's
friends failed to get places on the con-
ference committee. So that if the rec
iprocity amendment is 10; knocked it
will be because of REED willingness to
concede a point that there is nothing in.
The ALDRICH amendment is nothing
more than a shadow. 1t merely SquintS
at reciprocity. without making a single
provision for its enforcement. Further
than the personal advantage Mr.. REED
would be given over Mr.. BLAINE in the.
presidential race there is no reason why
the protectionists should object to the
ALDRIcH amendment. The senate sugar
schedule will, probably, be retained, as
it is a trifle more favorable to the sugar
trust than MGKINLEY's schedule.
1t can be reasonably predicted that
the conference report will be favorable
to the MCKINLEY idea clear through,
only that the protective duties may be
increased where MCKINLEY failed to get
them high enough to suit the protected
interests, and the bill will be passed be-
fore the end of next week, with all of
its enormities and iniquities retained.
In whatever form the bill may pass,
it is certain 'there will not be sem
tence or a line in it that will open a
market for another bushel of wheat or
another barrel of pork

for the good of the Republican party,
not for the personal benefit of those
millionaire politicians, Merriam and
Snider, who believe they can purchase
all the votes necessary to nominate and
elect them. Months ago it pointed out
the unfair tactics being employed by
Merriam to control caucuses, apd eau
tiQped as to the danger to the Republi-
can party of nominating q man whose
only recommendation was his money.
In voicing the IDEAS of the rank and
file OF the Republicans of Chisage
county we took that stand.
The situation now becomes more
alarming.
Having proven the purchasing power,
by two nominations and one election, he
strikes out boldly on the same line for
the United States senate.
And are we, as Republicans, to be
censured for not supporting this man?
Is money to be held out as the chief
and only requisite for an aspirant for
office?
What, then, becomes of your party
and your principles?
How can you educate your young men
to become good, staunch Republicans,
if they have the fact before them that
they have got to become millionaires to
stand at the head of the party in the
state or in congress?

hands of man capable of upholding
Democratic principles. The Fifth dis
trlct ought to be good missionary ground
for the Democrats. Lit is the largest
congressional district in the United
States, and includes two-thirdS of the
entire territory of the state. There are
twenty-nine counties in the district,
and in most of them the agricultural
interest predominates. Although the
district has always been Republican,
the bulk of the voters are in active
sympathy with the Democratic idea of
tariff reform. When Mr.. CoMsToC X
was nominated two years ago. he
pledged himself ''to follow in the foot
steps of his pr edecessor." How he
failed to keep that pledge is illustrated
by his vote in favor of the MCKINLEY
bill. As Mr.. LINCOLN once remarked,
1T is hard to fool all the people all the
time" Mr.. CoMsToCK fooled his con-
stituency two years ago. but there is
not a likelihood that he can do it
again.

NOT FOR Fun.

Some OF the Republican papers seem
to imagine that Hon. MORT WILKINSON
is running for congress in the Second
district just for the fun of it. They will
probably be convinced of their mistake
before the campaign is over. Mr.. WILL
KINsON knew exactly what he was I'M
dertaking when he accepted the Second
district nomination. He had been over
the ground before, and the fact that he
was not discouraged by his former eXpe-
renee ought to convince the Republican
organs that he is not making plaything
of this canvass. He Increased the Dem
ocratic vote two years ago in almost
every county of the Second district. and
reduced Mr.. LIMBS majority to point
that convinced the latter there was no
particular fun in such canvass as Mr..
WILKINSON can make. Mr.. WILKINSON
is going in to reap the harvest of the last
campaigns sowing. He made the fig hit
then with very little outside help, and
he can make it again relying on his own
efforts. There isn't a man in the stat e
who is more vigorous campaigner than
MI. WILKINSON, nor one more familiar
with pnblic questions. He is an orator
of the old school, and enjoys the conf
dence of all classes. without regard to
their party affiliations. The people of
the Second district could not find an
ADLER representative than MORTON S.
WILKINSON.
OF one thing they can rest assured
if elected to congress he will not bow to
caucus dictation, and be prevailed upon
to vote in direct opposition to the inter-
eSts of his constituents. He wears his
sovereignty under his hat; and that is
something that cannot be said of JouN
LIND.
There isn't power enough in the po-
litical machine to force a man of MORT
WLKINsoN's independence to vote for
an Ubiquitous measure like the NJ CKIN-
LEY bill.
Nor could all the Tom REEDS be-
| tween here aud Halifax drive him into
| the support of bayonet election law.
| If it is congressman the Second dis
trict voters are after who knows the
rights of his constituents, and dares to
maintain them, MORTON S. WILKIN-
SON is their man.

BIighted Ideals.

To the Editor OF the Globe.
LOWELL, Mass, Sept. 20.-Dear Sir:
In your very able editorial in Wednes-
days GLOBE on IAN Ideal Blighted'
you speak of the wages paid by John
Wanamaker to his lady clerks, and you
say, after quoting from Factory In
spector Martins report, that this is
harsher picture than might be given of
other establishments that employ
large number of women need not be
supposed.
But say, suppose we can look about
us and see firms that do not pay their
lady clerks enough to keep soul and
body together. we do not think of it so
forcibly until men comprising these
firms are held up to the public as Chris
tian gentlemen. then it is, as you say,
that it does destroy our ideal,
and reduces an exalted nature;
and | add, that in most peoples esti-
nation it brings such men to the level
of the brute. Now, here is a man who,
in his own city, aud, in fact, through
out the land, has been called ''ChriS-
tan gentleman" and many have talked
of him as great and good man, who
spends much of his time and money
doing good. | ask, what is left for the
public to think after reading Inspector
work is done for effect? Just think of
these words in that report: 81 con-
slider Wanamaker's establishment as a
great halfway house on the road that
leads to gilded denS of vice" And 10
think such men should be given one of
the best government offices in the gift
of the people; and this is the man
who would suppress from the
mails book that goes to show

that many women are forced TO live in.
because, with all its sorrows. it is pref
cradle to having to work for such
men as John Wanamaker. While in
Philadelphia last winter, could not
but notice the tired, care-worn look of
many of his lady clerks. and then COM
pare them to the bright faces of the lady
clerks in the ST. Paul and Minneapolis
large establishments, and | feel sure
when | say it is because we find in our
great Northwest more of that live and
LET live" feelingl so necessary between
employer and employee.
l say this: Striving after bread, and
receiving such inadequate wages, does
imperil woman's rectitude in the strug-
gle for existence, and when such men as
John Wanamaker make that struggle
harder for woman, he should by
shown up to the public in his
true colors. He should take pattern
from many large firms who provide
many comforts for their lady clerks. 1
heard of one, short time ago. who
called one of his lady clerks to his desk
and told her he considered her worth
more wages than they were paying her,
because she was worth more to their
business, and needed more wages so as
to enable her to dress as they wished
her to. We need more of such business
men and less of the John Wanamakers.
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor, / am respect
fully, 81. Z. s.

TO BE TRIED.

Mr.. BLAINE did not discover the
virtue of reciprocity until he had felt
the breath of men the tariff bill was
leading past him toward control of the
Republican forces. Ithas accomplished
for Mr.. BLAINE quite as much as he
could have anticipated. What it will
effect for the country is not now quite
apparent. The proposition is to admit
free of duty sugar, molasses, coffee, tea
and hides from certain countries to the

ducts of this country. If they refuse,
this country is to tax its people $780,
100000 or so. All of these articles to be
imported have been on the free list.

that is likely to be of more advan-

The five men who have represented
this state in congress for the past two
years have all been pronouncedly in
favor of a high protective tariff. The
record left behind them proves this to
be the case. The Mckinley vote is of
itself sufficient proof TO stamp them as
protectionists of the strongest type. All
have been renominated in their several
districts. and each will stump his dis
trict, backed by a high tariff record, yet
standing upon low tariff platform

From what we heard when the Re-
publicans met here and nominated
Comstock, we should Judge there is con-
siderable dissatisfaction in the Repub-
lican ranks over that nomination. Some
delegates from the western part of the
district were not at all backward about
showing their dissatisfaction, and they
thought they might just as we'll have
staid at home for all the chance they
had in the convention. They thought
the whole thing was put-up job and
will not vote for Comstock, the man
who is Republican in principle, but
who is running on the Democratic

1t is signaled throughout the district
and the state that six out of the seven
newspapers in Houston county have de-
clared themselves for Capt. W. III. Har-
ries for congressman from the First dis
trict, and this fact is received with no
little annoyance by the Republicans.
The friends of Capt. Harries are in for
hard fight. and the tumbie-down
fences of Mark III. Dunnell have been
used for firewood. The delegates who
nominated Mr.. Dunnell at the Austin
