the cause OF this sudden change. He gives Us
vague hints OF the cause, chiefly the trouble be-

ever, and we demand of the gentleman more
thorough explanation Of his position and the
true cause of this sudden transition How
can he conscientiously leave the party OF lib
erty, Of equal rights, of humanity-the party
that gave him his political birth and made 1t
possible for him TO serve three terms IN the
legislature OF Arkansas, the dollhouse of moss
backism? How can he sever his connection
with the grand old party of liberty and affiliate
with the party whose existence depends on the
shotgun and the determination or subsection OF
the negrof When the gentleman Is pleased TO
give Us sound reasons for his change, then the
eolored voters OF this country will lend an ear 70
him and assist him and his colleagues In waging
war on the party that created them.
He constantly reminds Us that ne WILL soon
import sixty we'll TODD colored families from
the South 70 be settled in King county. Those
families, he says, are deserving their homes IN
the sunny South all on account OF unfair treat

party. Had he not better inform his sixty fam
lilies that this same old Republican party is
swaying the scepter of power in this North
western country, and that they had better
ship further south, say to Georgia, where they
will be made the fostering care OF those Demo-

THE TARIFF AND ITS JUsTIFICA-
TON.

Major Mckinley was asked recently by
one of his audience about the price of
suit of clothes, supposed 10 have cost $50
before the change of tariff and $50 since.
The Republican leader answered by PROV
ing that suits of mems clothing were
advertised in Democratic papers in that
very county at lower prices than ever
before, and that such clothing had never
been as cheap at any previous time in this
country.
Another obiector wanted 10 know
whether the cost of canned fruits was not
enhanced by the duty on tin plates. The
answer came in q statement from one of
the largest canning establishments that
as yet it paid no advance whatever on the
cost Of cans, but if il should be obliged to
pay an advance equal 10 the entire new
duty on all tin plates used in its business,
that would amount 20 81. 800 yearly, while
the decrease in cost OF canned goods
through removal of the duty on sugar by
the same tariff was $500 4 year in the
same business.
In reply 10 question as TO the effect Of
duties on consumers. Major Mckinley
showed that 4 revenue duty on articles not

LABOR DAY.

New York Press: "The workingmen OF
America are learning to rate the rsutlngs OF the
socialists and calamity shouters at their true
value. Observation and experience have taught
them that capital is not the enemy OF LABOR bur
its best friend. The substantial value OF cordial
cooperation between these two great forces is
constantly becoming more manifest. Each is de-
pendent on the other; everything which injuries
the real interests of either is an injury 10 both.
Only when they work in harmony can the best
results be obtained.
Denver Republican: "Lahor organizations
have for their prime object the protection OF
their members. But they also have good eHect
upon a community, for they have conservative
and regulative influence. sometimes they re-
suit in strikes but back of this it should be
noticed that they produce that cond ton among
the working people which in itself is strong
preventative OF strikes"
Detroit Nelrs: "If every man that marches IN
the ranks of labor was determined TO advance
intelligentiy, scientifically, the real interests OF
the toiing masses, and destroy the barriers tnst
keep the worker from the natural means OF en-
plovment and from exchanging his products
with whomsoever he wills, it would be but q
few years before labor would reach the highest
point il can reach"
Minneapolis Times: "Upon LABOR day we 90
homage 20 labor. 1t is creation not OF kings or
presidents, but of organized labor. The old
monarchical conception, not "noL4y oeao YET,
was that few are born booted and spurred 10
ride, and that the many are born saddled and
bridIed to be ridden. But organized labor is do
ing much TO usher in day OF more genuine re-
publieanism."
Memphis Ara,anehe: "There Is no other
country in the world where such g celebration
may be 30 appropriately held as in America In
no other country is labor so honorable, and no
where else do laboring men exercise so much in
fuence in their own government as here. This
Is peculiarly the workingman's country"
Boston GIobe: "Labor day Is g gigantic object

working forces of the country are no longer 8

but a well drilled. thoroughly disciplined, Or

Milwaukee Nzss: "rhe growth OF Labor day

stined, for they make the loyal, valuable citizen

developed production here 80 that the
domestic price was fixed by home compe-
tition, was paid by the foreign manufsct
urers or dealers for the privilege of selling
at all in the protected market. Thus it
comes to pass that foreign woolens and
cutlery are actually sold in this country
today at exactly the prices charged before
the advance of duties.
Under the reciprocity clause Of the Nc
Kinley act the president had the power TO
exclude SIC, 900 900 worth of imported Ger
man sugar from our free list, but Germany
has made this unnecessary by admitting
American pork free to Germany, repeating
the DEGREES of 1880 and 1888, which sue
cessiYely excluded first canned goods and
hams from this country, and later all pork
and beef products but lard. The reduc-
ton in our hog products outside of lard in
consequence OF the DEGREES was as follows:
Q, aattty. va.ae
losss<siSl 4%,SA0,tol
1881. 43,v1oiIo S,loS p
Iso0. 3ySo3,SS6 2SSyo72
Our total exports Of pork products 10
Germany in 1876 amounted to 81, $50, 453
later they had risen to Isl, 133, 500 pounds,
valued at sll ,2S2 ,657, net increase in
amount of 1924. $3.50 pounds, and in value
of s2,957,0S3. In two years, under the
severe inspection adopted, these exports
had fallen to 70. 4o4 800 pounds and s, $685..
207. For ten years this enormous trade
has been paralyzed by the German DEGREES
of 1880 and 1853, and would be today had
it not been tor the reciprocity clause Of
the Mckinley act, which enabled the presi-
dent, in his discretion, to pinch Germany
in her sugar exports.
Denmark, too, has withdrawn her pro-
hibition Of American pork product; the
French Senate is sure TO approve the action
of the House Of Deputies which has voted
to admit our meat products. Austria
will follow Germany's example or lose her
market for her beet sugar. and if Italy
risk by her refusal the loss of her export
trade to America to the amount of $50, 000,-
600 annually in fruits, wines and raw silk
which we can easily get elsewhere.
The admission Of American pork to
Germany also creates a market for at least
100000 worth more of American farm
products. The Mckinley act, outside Of
the extra demand for grain as a result of
short crops in Europe, has created mar
ket for at least s65, 10000 worth more of
American farm products than were sold
last year, including this $4,000, 900 of in
creased pork sales to Germany. To this
record of the Mckinley tariff must be
added the annual saving of $50, OOO, 600 to
the American people under the sugar pro-
visions Of the tariff act.
