A PuRPosELEss PARTY.
At Seems Fearful of Making Direct Il
sue of PRINCIPLES.

SUI VI
The prominent fact which stands out
in the national democratic platform
adopted at Chicago is the extent to
which the republican platform is in
dorsed and an issue avoided.
The Chicago document indorses the
Minneapolis platform on all of these
points: Prohibition of trusts. internal
development of navigation, American
control of Nicaragua canal, protection
of the lives and limbs of railway en-
ployes, opposition to convict labor COM
petition and sweating system. restric-
ton of criminal and pauper immigra-
ton, recognition of the Worlds Colum-
bian exposition, support OF national
defenses, support of public schools, in
dorsemeut of civil service reform, Just
and liberal pensions" and sympathy to
the Jews in Russia and to the cause of
home rule in Ireland. In all of the
above particulars the democratic con-
vention thought the republican plat
form so good that the Chicago plat
form practically reproduces the Mime
apolis document, but at greater length
and with greater circumlocution.
Even on the tariff the party appears
to be afraid to make a direct issue of
principle. The principle of protection
is virtually indorsed IN the sentiment,
contained also in the republican plat
form, that the tariff shopld equalize
the difference in wages here and
abroad. The protective principle is

The reading of the platform was
warmly greeted. and its unanimous
adoption almost instantly followed.
A remarkable scene ensued. 1t be-
gan by the convention rising in their
chairs, cheering, swinging coats which
had been taken off on account of the
heat, waving hats and fans and throw
ing things into the air. All the dele
gates were on their feet and the stage
was crowded with members of the COM
mittee on resolutions.

again recognized in the sentiment that
! Che tariff should promote the healthy

! changes should endangcr the labor and
capital involved in protected industries.
/ Practically the sole issue which the

| party to its repcal-a pledge which an

The silver plank is mixture that

breath the platform promises free coin

provisions which make free coinage i'm
possible. There shall be free coinage,
! but the silver dollar so coined must be
equal in intrinsic and exchangeable
value" to gold dollar, and there must
be international agreements and safe
guards" which prina facie preclude
free coinage. 1t is a repetition of the
old story commencing: Mother, may /
go out to swim"
The party pledges itself to continue
ton in regard to public lands-a policy
which every settler who had dealings
with the late land commissioner re-
members with deep and bitter expert
ence.
As to the handling of trusts, the dem
ocratic party has at length discovered
that the tariff is not the parent, and
that free trade is not the remedy, but
that the worst evils of trusts can be
abated by lava principle which the
two parties hitherto have always con-
tested. The democratic platform there

Protection and AmericanIsm.


In the campaign Of 1893 who can recall with
out shame the impudent appropriation Of the
national dag as an exclusive symbol by the
protectiouist party, and the reiegation OF its
opponents 70 the British flag, thus proclaiming
a moral disfranchisement, decentralization and
deportation OF onehalf the citizens OF the United
States.-N. Y. Evening Post
Without attempting to answer the
Posts broad question, we simply desire
to call its attention TO the following
editorial utterance OF another great
mugwump free trade newspaper, the
Boston Herald:
The American flag Is simply a number Of
pieces Of textile fabric Of three different colors,
sewn together for the purpose Of making pre-
determined combination.
When free traders are found sneering
at patriotism and ridiculing all feelings
of veneration for the American flag,
when they advocate policy that would
break down our industries and hand
over our markets to foreigners, they
surely cannot blame proteetionists for
chasing them as adherents of Great
Britain rather than of the United States,
Whatever else may be said of our pro-
tective policy, it must at least be adj
mitted that that policy-the American
system, as it was named by its great
expounder, Henry Clay-is one which
is designed TO stimulate a sound and
healthy American sentiment 1t empha-
sizes the Importance OF American in
dustries American markets and Ameri-
can workingmen. Its fundamental doc
triue is that American skill is great
enough. American talents are varied
enough. and American laborers intelli-
gent enough to enable us to manufac-
ture at home everything that we are
not precluded, by climate or other nat
uraI causes, from producing. 1t is an
American policy, broadly, consistently
American, and as such its most appro-
pirate emblem is the American flag
BETWEEN the years 1850 and 1890 the
number of people employed in the
woolen industry in Rhode Island in
creased from 2,164 to 1885, and the
total amount paid in wages from s., Ill.,
657 to S7,O49, ,1O9. At the last election
in Rhode Island the candidates of the
free trade party were overwhelmingly
defeated. The people over there DON'T
