New York World.
The arrangements of the tariff pluto
Gratis for the purchase of the presidency
are complete. The money has been
raised, the Martins and Hacketts have
been hired and the Pharlsees them
selves stand ready to pray for their fell
low men on Sunday and debauch them,
if possible, on Tuesday.
On another page will be found the re-
suit of a searching inquiry into the
sources of the corruption fund OF 1892.
Compared with it the Wanamaker col
lection of four years ago sinks into in
significance.
-Four hundred thousand dollars was
an enormous sum in 1888. 1t is Daga-
telle in 1892. The plutocrats were in
veSting in promises then. They are
investing in performance now. The
delivery of the goods has begun, and
the cash value of continuance is known
to none Sd well as to the mercenarles
themselves. They can afford to give
freely and generously.
600. to perpetuate the tariff on steel.
The Cramps pay $4,000 for subsidies
made and promised. Dolan contributes
$4,000 to maintain the tax on WOODEN
goods. The Dobsons pay $4,000 for the
privilege of fixing the prices of carpets.
Filter pays the same amount for pro-
lection 10 his cordage trust. And so
they come-the DiSStons, the Br0mleyS.
the Badwins, and Widner and Eikins
and Wanamaker,all good men and true,
who believe lii the principles of Pro-
tection."
Over $1,O0O,OO0 has been raised al
ready in Pennsylvania. But that is
only The first installment. More is
needed to stem the tide, and more is
forthcoming. At this very moment
Henry e. Frick, foremost in support OF
the principle and in defense OF Ameri-
can labor, is in this city negotiating
with the Republican managers. Be
fore he shall return bargain will be
struck and another million if necessary
will be placed at the disposal of the Re-
publican committee.
1t is a business arrangement, and Mr..
Frlck and his associates are business
men, who will not hesitate to find
ready thousands for prospective mill
ions. And yet, for a business arrange
ment, it is strangely unbuSIneSslike.
Ask these men what becomes Of their
money and they place their hands
upon their hearts and swear they can
not tell. Il did hot KNOW" said John
anamaker four years ago; Il did not
want to know"
He does not want to know now. None
of them wants to know. Bribery is
crime, and criminals have no standing
in society. The Martins and Hacketts
can afford to take risks, for they have
nothing to lose. But these men have
regulations to maintain. Some go to
church and pray with Wanamaker.
Others stay at home and chat with
Quay. But all are model citizens, and
honorable men.
tA YeS-h0norable men. SO they boast.
SO they are known. And yet he who
conspires with others to thwart the will
OF The people is tGaitor. He who in
duces another to sin against his con-
science and his country is criminal.
He who builds up his hoard from the
meager substance OF the poor is worse
than thief.
The time has come to call men and
things by their true names.
The kind of protection for which these
mercenaries can afford to pay a million
dollars is robbery. 1t is betrayal. 1t is
crime.
And the men who buy and pay for it
are robbers, traitors and criminals
enemies of their country every one,
from the hypocrite Wanamaker to the
blackleg Martin.
Let them stand forth in the fierce light
of public exposure and feel the burning
scOrn of every honest man.
Then put American patriotism against
Greed and Corruption. Break the Money
Power. Drive out the Pharisees. Pun
ish their Agents. Defeat their Bene-
ficiarv.
