a PLAIN ISSUE.

The question is likely 10 be presented to
the voters of this city whether they want
boss government or government without
bosses. In former years we have only had
= choice between bosses. Two years ago
the fight lay between Democratic and Re-
publican bosses. The times were not ripe
for the nomination Of a non-partisan ticket.
Buckley had such a firm hold on the Demo-
cratic machine that all the Republican and
part Of the Democratic party were required
10 defeat him. Had a non-partisan ticket
been nominated in 1890 the Buckley ticket
would most undoubtedly have been success
ful- At the present time the conditions are
different The local Republicans have not
fulfilled their premises. The Legislature
WHICH the machine placed in nomination
two years ago was the worst the State has
ever known. Since the Legislature ad-
joUTDed the municipal departments have
been cumbeTed with these tools Of bosses,
and have Consequently failed to keep their
pledges. The complete surrender Of the
Republican party TO the Southern Pacific
Company has convinced the solid men of
this city that municipal Offices can only be
Put on business basis by means Of an in
dependent non-partisan ticket. II is as
suTed that such a ticket Will draw about
equally from the TWO parties. 1t follows,
therefore, in order lrotto repuIse good men
from either party, that nominations should
be divided as equally as may be between the
two. While it is trne that a good ticket Is
Of more Importance than an equal division
between parties, is t not also true that a
good ticket can. be made up without such
favor to either party as will repulse voters
from the party least favored?

sTEyENsoN's SPEECH.

Republicans should be grateful to Candi-
date Stevenson for the speech he made at
the opening of the Democratic campaign in
Illinois. Tariffs" said Mr.. Stevenson.
have no effect upon wages, except to
diminish their purchasing power" A
speaker who deliberately comes in conflict
with facts does his friends more harm than
his enemies. 1t has been demonstrated time
and again that the tariff enables American
manufacturers TO pay higher wages than
they could pay in the absence of tariff and
hold the home market Only month ago
an exhaustive inquiry into the cost Of pro-
ducing a ton of steel showed that the labor
cost was IS GA greater in the United States
than in England. Where is this IS G4 dis
tributed This being the excess of labor
cost it must be distributed among the labor
ers. The total cost was a little over 81
greater in the United States than in
England, and the differences between the
labor cost and the total cost may be ad-
mtted to be the profit of the manufacturer.
Again, Mr.. Stevenson says: "The higher
the tariff the less the purchasing power of
wages" This could only be true If the
duties were added TO the cost of the article
in the market. But there are hundreds of
articles in which home competition
has reduced prices below the for
eign prices before the duty was
levied. In all eases where home CON-
petition keeps the prices down to the
prevailing price when duties were levied,
the purchasing power of wages is not
affected. And in all eases where American
competition has reduced prices below the
prevailing prices when duties were levied,
the purchasing power of wages is increased.
But Mr.. Steyenson'S most complete give
away" is in the following: Wages are
governed by the great law of demand and
supply" In the long run this is true. Bat
the object Of the tariff is TO increase the de-
mand. 1t aeeomplishes that object by in
creasing the amount of work done in this
country. When we make steel rails in the
United States instead OF purchasing them
abroad We increase the demand for Ameri-
can labor. When we make cloth that had
formerly been made abroad we increase the
demand for American labor. And so on
all through the long line of industries which
the tariff has enabled US TO establish and
prosecute in this country. Reading this
speech, we very easily understand why Mr..
Stevenson wanted to change the issue from
the tariff TO negro domination. On the lat
ter issue he could give free rein TO his
imagination without danger Of running
against facts. No one could say what the
colored race might do il protected in their
right to vote. They might dominate the
South, though the chances are a million to
one that they would not. But the protect
i've policy has produced results which no
sensible man tries to ignore.
