Scnnlan Captures the Irish.

The Irish comedian, Seaman. is still
drawing like magnet to the New Califor-
mia. Every seat in the auditorium was
filled last evening to enjoy his persouation
of the principal character in the cast-the
title-role. There is not great deal Of diff
ference of motive and idea in the various
pieces that Mr.. Seaman has assembled in
his repertoire. They address, from several
points, the Irish patriot feeling, ampli-
fed as that feeling is by resi-
dence in foreign parts and by. nurs-
ing recollections of early days in the
old country. He seems to be always sue
cessful. however, in attacking this mental
condition, for be has consolidated follow
ing, and for an Irish boy who has gradu-
ated from Harry Hills New York racket,
this ought to be a proud consideration with
him. 1t proves that the individual Is
nothing, the idea and purpose everything.
1t is a case of g Remember. Boy, You're
Irish." as he sang last evening to immense
applause. Seaman is as great man as
Parnell in his way. He illustrates what
Sir Robert Peel once said. in the House of
Commons: Il care not who may make the
laws for Ireland. l desire only the privilege
of writing the songs for that people"

shippip~ Dried GRAPES.

Drying wine grapes for shipment is more
popular this season with growers than con-
yerting them into wine here. Large ship
ments will soon follow the first car that was
sent East the other day, and contracts at
good prices are rapidly being made. The
dried grapes are destined for France to be
made into cheap wine.

The Democratic party is not free

selling where you can sell the dearest
Let us look at the essence of these
declarations. You can buy cheaper in
England than you can in the United
States, so they say, and SO we are
bound to believe. We have commercial
relations with that country. We sell
them our surplus grain, cotton and
cattle. We buy Of them manufactured
products, and from other countries the

THE M'kiNLEY BILL.
Views of Journal Which Opposed the
Original Draft of the Measure.

Views of Journal Which Opposed the
Original Draft of the Measure.
On the whole the new tariff will help
the Republicans in the Congressional
canvass. The advances In rates which
have been made in some of the
schedules, as compared with existing
law. were, of course, not looked for by
the great majority of the patty before the
measure firstappearedi in the House, and,
in the opinion of the Western section
OF the organization, these changes
weaken the bill and leave it open to
serious attack. But its good Qualities
more than Offset its bad ones. The cut
in the sugar duties strikes blow at the
trust, and will reduce the price of one
of the staple commodities. Relief is
thus furnished in a aquarter from which
it was sorely needed. 1t is a relief
which affects all classes, and which will
be particularly grateful to that most
numerous and important class of all
the poor. The sweeping reduction on
binding twine, too, will aid the farmers
and strengthen the Republicans with
an element Of the community to which
the party has always looked for ma
terial aid. .rf
The Republicans thus find themselves
in position to make an aggressive and
winning canvass. Its pledges to the
people are being kept with fair de-
gree OF promptness and sincerity. Sew.
eral weeks ago the chances for the
adoption Of a tariff measure as favora-
BILE to the interests Of consumers as the
one which has just been agreed on is
were not looked for. The Democrats.
as a consequence, began to find the
prospects for their success brighter than
they have been in several years past
and encouragement was felt in the
ranks of the Republicans Now, how
ever, the situation is entirely changed.
Once more the outlook becomes full Of
hope for the Republicans. There can
be no reasonable doubtthat government
by the Republicans ordinarily is favored
by the great majority Of the voters. The
party can always rely with confidence
on commanding and holding the popu-
lar approval whenever it is true to it's
best impulses and traditions. The
change shown in the past few days on
the tariff in the direction of progress
shows that the old spirit Of liberality
and regard for the rights and privileges
OF the masses has again begun to assert
itself. Whenever the Republicans de-
serve to win they do win. and they de-
serve to win this year.-St. Louis Globe

THE AMERICAN HOG.

One Fact Which the Free Traders Dc
- Not Seem to Remember.
The European an press abuses the Nc
Kinley tariff bill without stint The
French papers say it will ruin" some
of their manufacturers The German
exporters are saying the same thing,
and the free trade press in the United
States is calling attention to this Eu-
ropean sentiment, as if it were some
thing that should influence U.S.
Why these walls from European man
ufactTers and exporters? If the Amer
lean people pay the entire duty, as our
free traders insist, how is it going to
hurt the European manufacturer? But
is not the fact admitted by their pro
tests that they share in paying the
duty-that they will have to, reduce
their prices in order to hold American
trade?
Another foolish performance of oar
American free traders il their express
sion Of fear that European countries
will '.retaliate" by imposing higher
duties on American products. They
forget that these countries have dis
crim1nated against US Tor years, Ter
many and France utterly prohibiting
the importation of American. pork and
pork products. That Of other countries
is admitted at moderate duty. Ours
is excluded on the false ground that ii
is liable to be diseased. The millions
who eat it every year know the utter
nonsense Of this. If the Mckinley bill.

manufactures in the same lines as those
of the German and French manufacture
ers and exporters who are so agitated
over 1t, and who are protesting against
it, let them demand that American pork
shall be admitted as freely as they ad-
init it from other countries. Let them
compel their own governments to treat
our products fairly before they condemn
us for revising our own tariff laws

ADVOCATES OF PROTECTION.

The Arguments of Years What Our

on Protection.
We find to-day, in the struggle for
protection, reproduction of the argu--
ments for free trade which the Ameri-
can people debated, considered and con-
demned as unsound yearsaga 1t takes
a great man like Daniel Webster to ac-
knowledge that he is wrong Mr.. Web
ster, in his speech against the tariff of
1924, made as strong an argument for
free trade as can be urged to-day. This
however, did not defeat the passage OF
the bill, and. as the result ofmature de-
liberation, Mr.. Webster became a lead
ing champion OF the protective tariff
system, The first great question, pend
ing the adoption of any National fiscal
policy, is: How shall we most surely
and fully develop the entire Industrial
capacity Of the people. '
Having adopted such policy, stick TO-
it and don't try experiments, unless by
comparison with some other country,
which has different fiscal policy, it can
be proved that the entire industrial
capacity of that people iSmore fully de-
veloped and employed and the people
more prosperous, better rem unerated for

very correctly believed that by this
measure they were helping the American

annual message, declared that the safety
and interest of the people required that
manufactures should be promoted. and
in his second annual message said:

the encouragement of manufactures.

Washington was never interested in
