Mill, the lucid explanations of Huxley and of

The demise of the RepNb5cnn affords a
striking illustration Of Zen Franliltns
time-worn motto; Credit is dead; bad
pay killed him.
While the Repujiicdn had been for
many years suffering from mismanagc-
ment and lack of public confidence. its
final failure is chiefly due to the intro
duction of the give-away policy. A few
years ago Loyal L. Smith did very
large business in Omaha by selling
dry goods below cost. HIS brass bands,
free excursions and attractive posters
drew immensely, and for time crowded
his honest competitors. But in due time
the enterprisng Smith had to abscond
to keep out of the clutches Of the sheriff
The same givc-away policy has ruined
several of the rotating prOpriCtors Of the
Republican and finally wrecked the whole
concern. W hen u newspaper reduces
It's subscription price below the cost Of
the white paper and ink, or worse
yet, if the publis her seeks to work up Il
mammoth circulation by forcing papers
upon people who do not want them, and
throwing papers into people back and
front yards, the enterprise must sooner
or later end in u crash. Nobody can af
ford to deliver six eight-pagc papers
and a Sunday edition for five dollars u
year or ten cents u week. This was the
rat that ate the meal in the
RpuJlicUa tub, and has been eating the
meal in the larder of our amateur col
league, Mr.. Hitchcock. 1t is only Il
matter of time when the drain will
finally eat up his entire concern.
There is only one Legitimate way for
men to build up a business, and that is
to furnish good goods and get good pay
for them. The give-away policy can
only pay as decoy. 1t can
not be done in the snbs cription
price of paper because paper and ink
are staple goods like flour and sugar.
They cost SO much per pound and nobody
can afford to give them away in any
quantity or for any length of time with
out drifting into bankruptcy.
Competition between papers conducted
on business principles must be on the
lines of their respective excellence as
news-gatherers and exponents of public
opinion. In that line there is wide
range for the man of brains. Capacity,
industry and integrity of purpose will
achieve the best results. The lesson of
the hour should not be lost upon our
overreaching contemporaries.

THE democrats of Mississippi, with
characteristic generosity, have invited

THE republicans of Tennessee, who
have just held their state convention,
were outspOken in favor of an effective
federal election law. There are no more
aggressive republicans in the south than
those OF Tennessee, and it is not inn
probable that they will be the first to
break the solid democratic control Of
that section, to which end it is quite
possible the proposed election law would
materially assist them. Their decla-
ration in favor of such law
may have some influence at
Washington, but until there is
moro expression in the same direction
from the republicans of the north, the
friends Of the proposed legislation in
congress will not increase in number.
just how strong they arc at present in
the senate is matter of some anxiety,
but the impression obtains that they are
not in sufficient force to pass an cleo
tion bill. Az any rate, no such meas
uro as the house bill can pass at the
present session, so that those who are
troubling themselves over this matter
may dismiss all apprehension of new
law to take effect upon the congress sional
elections of the present year.

CLARIFYING GOALS TO NE WCA STLE"
Senator Morrill, opened the tariff de-
bate in the senate on the part of the re-
publicans Wedn esday, making charac-
teristic speech in defense of the protcc-
ton policy with which his name is con-
spicuously identified. The most inter-
esting portion OF what he said was his
reference to the markets of Central and
South America, which it is proposed
this country shall endeavor to secure for
our agricultural products by policy of
trade reciprocity. The Vermont senator
very plainly indicated that he is not in
sympathy with this proposal.
He said that of agricultural products
cattle, sheep and horses, the countries
south of us have an abun dant and cheap
supply, not only for home consumption,
but also for expectation. To carry any
of these products to those countries in
the vain hope of finding market would
be, he said, like carrying Goals to New
castle.' He believed that adding free
sugar to the breakfast table presented a
stronger case than tea and coffee pre-
sented in 1872 for like treatment. This
attitude of the Vermont senator, in dis
tinct hostility to the policy so pcrsstentlv
and plausibly urged by Mr.. Blaine, is
hardly to be doubted represents the view
of a majority of the republican senators.
They cOncede that it is most desirable to
extend the markets for our farm pro-
ducts, but the facts show that there is
little possibility of any very mat terial en-
largement Of our trade in this respect
with the southern countries, and as be-
tween a direct and certain saving to the
American people of more than fifty mil
lion dollars annually 10y making sugar
free, and retaining the duty as II means
OF forcing reciprocity, which might not be
accomplished for years, and the results
OF which, whenever accomplished, might
prove to be very unsatisfactory, they
prefer the first policy.
Mr., Blaine's plan of enlarging our
trade in the product of the farm with
other American countries has gained
many adheronts. 1t has II plausible and
promising aspect when viewed by itself.
But faith in it must be weakened by any
careful consideration of the facts of the
situation. These show that while Il few
years ago nearly all the South American
countries imported breadstuIs, the more
populous and progressive OF them
now raise enough to supply the
home demand and leave sur
plus for export, During the fiscal year
1889 the total Value of breadstuifs and
provisions exported from the United
States to South America was only twcn-
ty-three million dollars The demand
for our wheat and flour in the South
American markets will steadily decline
for the reason that the Argentine Re
public, Chilli. Uruguay and Brazil are
making remarkable progress in the cul-
tiyation of wheat, all Of them except
