A Queer Minded Free Trader.

The man who believes that the repeal
Of the Mckinley tariff and the adoption
Of a free trade policy would put an end
to strikes and riots has queer mind.
Such a policy would inevitably result in
the closing of many industrial establish
in others. There would be a hundred
men for every job. There would be in
dustrial paralysis and keen distress
among the working people. Poverty and
despair would cause strikes, revolts,
create riots and the very pillars of our ma
tional fabric would be seriously shaken.

The Republican platform this year
does not call for a revival of this SO
called force bill The Democratic howl
is without a basis or warrant But even
if the Republican party were again call
ing for the Lodge bill it would not be
committing any crime or wrong. as Mr..
Cleveland would have the country be
heve. 1t would merely be demanding
justice for people whom the constitu-
tion has promised to protect, and who
are still year after year robbed and de
frauded Of their rights by ruf1ians and
murderers in the service of the Demo
cratic party.-kansas City Journal.

the right society in the right place. 1t is
doing a work which is out of the reach of
other societies. 1t has strong tendency TO
train these young minds for a nobler and
