"a SINGULAR FATUlTY."

''How incomplete must that sort of
protection always be which leaves free
ingreSS TO the labor of other lands when
every circumstance is such as to tempt
it hither, and use it as factor in reduc-
ing the wages of labor with US. This is
the breach in the wall which the work
ingnlan, with singular faulty, has neg
lected to guard" says the Pioneer
Press, with blunt frankness that must
be anything but consoling to those of
its readers who get in daily wages the
compensation for their labor. We can
easily imagine one of these men reading
it and commenting OH it somewhat in
this way:
well; I'm jiggered. Here we've
been voting the Republican ticket for
thirty years because that was the only
party which had the job of protecting
US. Lord, how they have fooled us!
Thirty years Of taxation Of imports so
as to make them dearer, so that our
bosses could compete and pay us high
wages. Thirty years of il only to keep
our wages from going down to the pau
per wage level OF Europe. Thirty years
of listening to and believing all their
talk Of how they were protecting US;
leaving it all to these statesmen who
knew it all, and voting just as they told
us all the time. And here comes this
paper right from the inside of that
party, and blurts out the truth at last. and
tells us that there hasn't been any real
protection in it at any time, because all
the time our bosses have had free trade
in labor. But that is not the meanest
part of it. 1t is all our own
fault. they say. We workingmen
should have known better than to
leave the door open. The doctor
telling his patient that he should have
known what was the matter with him
self and made his own medicines. That
Is cheek. The only thing we can ask
for is "a judicial regulation OF immigra-
tion;' and because we haven't seen 1t
before we are guilty of a singular
faulty Why didn't the Pioneer Press
find it out and tell US ,long ago? Why
didn't all these other eminent statesmen
find it out before? We're they fools or
fooling? Why, that lawyer-states man,
Senator DAVIS, hasn't found it out
yet. Only last May he told us that the
first principle on which RepEblicanism
is based, and the disregard of which
will entail the dissolution of that great
organization, is the protection of Amer

1T is A QUESTION OF MORAL
LTY AND RIGHT

The Democrats have almost always
made the mistake of arguing the phases
or the tariff question as if it were mere
question of expediency, the right of the
matter being conceded. Because of this
there have been volumes of statistics
compiled. speakers have plunged into
tables of figures to prove something
about relative prices and wages, and
the mass Of the people have become
hOpele5siy confused with the ramifca-
tons of the discussion and the conflict
of statement.
Democrats, writers and speakers, will
find their cause stronger, their success
greater. their footing surer, when they
base their arguments on the simple
question of the right of every human
being, having produced aught with his
labor. to exchange it with any person
anywhere, without other let or him
drance from his or any government
than the necessities of that government
may require. That is so plain, so SIM
pie, so right, that it will command at
tention and assent. Why shouldn't the
wage Garner who has earned his dollar
buy with It what he wants of any one
who viii give him most in exchange for
it? Why shouldn't the farmer who has
produced a buShel of wheat trade it
where he will for what he will? Are
grown men so childish that they must
be safeguarded by a paternal govern
ment? Can't they be trusted to get the
best of bargain? What right in nature
has government to say to the wage
Garner or the farmer.or to any one, "you
must give somewhat of that which you
have produced. to another in order that
he may establish himself in business?
This is the true Democratic position.
Base your attacks on Republicanism Oh
the ground that protection is radically,
inherently wrong. No party ever yet
failed of success that thus buttreSsed
its position. Success has always at
tended appeals to the sense Of right in
men. Federalism went down before
JEFFERSON assertion of it; Whiggls m

their attack, and slavery went down
when the Republican party appealed to

Desperate Thief in Reality, but a

fashionable hotels in Frankfort, and
was asSOciating with several we'll
known Americans and their families,
and with two English nOblemen. His
clothing was of the finest quality. and
he wore expensive jeNelry. His lavish
expenditure of money had won him the
title of 1.-THE American millionaire"
While seated in the reception room of
his hotel last Friday, the German police

ON IT, OR sTRADDLING IT3

Unless our Republican cOntempOra-
rleS get together and agree on some
common statement of facts, there is great
danger that their readers may get con-
fused amid the conflicts of assertion and
wander away from the fold and seek
shelter at last in the quiet agreement
and harmony Of the Democratic fold.
Such things have happened before, and
these trOublOuS times are favorable to
its happening now. For illustration,
here is the Milwaukee Sentinel shout
Ing with glee that CLEvELANDs speech
sets him down fat-footed among the
tree traders pure and undefiled. Up
the lake, its fellow dispenser of misin-
formation, the Inter Ocean, insists that,
In the same speech, the same man &C
complished an elegant straddle of the
tariff question. Now it is physical i'm
possibility for person to be at the
same moment on a plank with both
feet and astride of it, and what other
conclusion can those unfortunate peo-
pie who get their facts from both these
papers come to than that neither of
them knows enough about the tariff
question to be able to tell if man is
standing on it or straddling it? And if
they do, they are just in the right frame
of mind to set them joining the process
sion of their fellow partisans who are
moving over into the Democratic fold.
This advice would be open to a suspi-
cion of its sagacity, were it not so ap-
parent that there is no possibility what
ever of our contemporaries ON the other
side getting into common agreement
on anything except that these Demo
Gratis are horrid, disagreeable wretches,
who should be frowned down on by the
SaviOrS of society.

brought on an extended interruption
from MIR. Allison, who said
this speech of his, which
he believed had been quoted
a thousand times, had been made in the
house of representatives in 1870, at the
time when the wool growing Industry
of the world was as different from the
wool-growlng industry of today as moon
light was from sunshine.
Mr.. Vest defended and fortified his
statements as to trusts, which had been
sassailed by MIR. Aldrich. In answer to
the figures of the senator from Rhode
Island, lie asserted that there had been
q constant decline in wages since the
passage of the bill, which accounted for
the fall in prices, which fall had been
noticed.
Pearl Button Fraud.
On the one item of pearl buttons he
gave figures which he said had been
(Mllls) and himself by the largest i'm
porting house in Washington, showing
that the prices Of these articles had
been increased at least 100 per cent by
the tariff. Mr.. Aldrich, again inter
,rupting, admitted that this was so, but
said that pearl buttons, previous to the
act of 1890, had been made in Austrian
prisons by the most degraded system of
labor.
Mr.. Vest answered that he was glad
to elicit the admission that the tariff did
increase the cost of articles to the con-
sumer. Of course that was what it was
put on for, aud any man who as
erted to the contrary ought
70 be disfranchised for life.
lLaughter.l In closing MIR. Vest men,
toned that the senator from Kentucky
(Mr. Carlisle) would answer in detail
that portion of Mr.. Aldrich's argument
based upon the figures obtained by the
subcommittee, and OF which Mr.. Car
isle was member.
The debate was also participated i'm
by Senators Hale and Palmer. 1t lasted
between four and five hours. and at
its close the resolution on which 1t
was based was laid On the table
to be taken up again when Mr.. Carlisle
shall be ready to answer MIR. Aldrich
Oil the points made by him. The anti
option bill was taken up, but as the
time for adjournment was close at hand,

This year this promises to and should

These Derby days are of-English origin.
but they are intensely and periodically

on the glorious Fourth, as the record of

terday's Twin City Derby day was no
exception TO this rule Of rain. On the
contrary, the average of Derby day wet
ness was far surpassed. The great race

And it was great day. rain or shine,

wife were at Hamline, and the latter
was defiantly arrayed in her brightest
attire. The mammoth amphitheater,
with IFS thronging thousands in gay APP
parel, its tiuttering fans and nodding
bonnets, made pleasing contrast with
the background of leaden skies. 1t was
evident that the race meeting had been
inaugurated with thorough success,
despite the discouragements of Jupiter
