Again have the Connecticut
courts spoken and sustained the
Republicans in their claim of vic
tory at the last Gubernatorial
election. This time it is in quo
warranto proceedings brought
by the democratic claimant to the
office OF the Secretary of State
against the hold-ovcr Republican.
While the Republicans never
claimed that on the face of the
returns the democrats did not
have a majority, they did claim
that had certain votes not been
improperly thrown out, both
parties would have failed of a
majority, and the election would
have been thrown into the Re
publican Legislature. This the
court substantially finds, and it
establishes the fact that Gen.
Mcrwln and other Republicans
have been deprived of Offices to
which tlcy were entitled bv the
unjustifiabIc and illegal action of
the democrats.

The Tnrin und wooIlrn Industries.

As a local illustration of the
manner in which the Mckinley
tariff is affecting Vermont i'll
dustricS the Bennington Banner
SAYS: The Valentine Knitting
company find ii necessary to put
on two sets of employees TO run
all day and part of each night
This is done to keep up with or
derS. and as business looks now
it is not improbable that i'll the
near future this mill will run day
and night tbs year round. The
Campbell mills, also, have been
running nights as well us days
all owing to the Mckinley tariff.
1t also says that as regards full
time the woOllcn mills arc no OK
ccption.
To show, however, that this
condition of affairs is not CON
fined to Vermont, we quote the
following from the Rockville, H.,
Journal: ~ demonstration ofthc
good elects of our present pro-
tcctivc tariff laws is to be found
in the testimony of Mr.. Lodge,
an English woollen manutact-
urer, who is visiting in Rockville
Mr.. Lodge says that the United
States used to be England'S best
market for wOollcnS, but it is not
so now. Although the wages
paid to help i'll this country are
about five times as much as those
paid in England, our protective
system keeps out the foreign out
put, Mr.. Lodge, whose father
was the original Worstcd manu-
facturer Of England, is in this
country on asort of investigating
trip, with the idea of removing
his woollcn business from Eng
land to this country. What
! stronger argument forprotcction
than this ,"
No stronger testimony than
this could be asked for as to the
efficacy of the Mckinley tariff.

Thcparamount issue before the
American people to day is that
of the tariff. No amount otDcm-
ocratic misrepresentation orcVa-
sion can change it. The Dem
ocratic platform states distinctly
that any tariff except one for rev
cnuc only is unconstitutional.
The Democracy is essentially a
free trade party. The Neal
amendment was carried by a
large majority and expressed the
sentiment of the party. The
leaders of the party are free
traders and every prominent free
trader and free trade paper at
home and abroad is out for
Grover Cleveland.
The traditions of the Dem
ocratic party are free trade
traditions. In 1911 the Dem
ocrats promised moderate
tariff law; they kept their pledge
bv passing in IS rs a moStradical
tariff bill. In 1913 the party
congratulated the country on the
noble impulse given to free trade
by the repeal of the taritfoflSl2
In 1856 it again distinctly placed
itself ON record in favor of free
trade by affirming that " the time
has come for the people of the
United States to declare them
selves in favor of free seas and
progressive free trade throughout
the world.
With this free trade record of
it's platforms there goes a record
of tariff tinkcring in Congress.
Since 1896 almost every Con
grcss has seen an attempt on the
part of Democrats to change the
tariff law III manner injurious
to the industrial interests of the
country. Past Democratic tariff

The opening Of schools is not
distant, and i'll many places hir-
ing of teachers for the ensuing
year. 1t does not pay to hire a
cheap teacher, whose chcapncss
is the only or chief recommended
ton, says the American Cultiva-
tor People do not often think
OF it thus, but the child's time in
school may often be worth more
than is that of his parents at
their work. If, through incllici-
cncy of the teacher, good use is
not made Of time in the school
room, the loss can never be re-
paired. Something also depends
on the parents, and much more
on the child, to sec that time is
not wasted even with the most
faithful Of teachers.

FAIR PLAY.

TO the Editor of the HcraH.
In the interest Of Fair PLAY
take my pen in hand to rcfutc
some of the fallacious state
mcnts made in the free trade crcsS,
and by some of our would be free
trade politicians. The free trade
press informs us i'll very grave
. tone that the trouble at Home
stead was caused by the pro-
tcctivc tariff, The free trade
politician strikes WcbSterian
attitude and i'll tones of thunder
informs us that protection did it =.
If protection is the cause of
strikes in America, does free trade
cause strikes in England?
If protection is the cause of
strikes, then in England they
ought not to have any strikes,
for England has free trade. But
we all know they have strikes,
and have them frequently.
We therefore arrive at the CON
clusion that free trade is not the
remedy by which we are to be
freed from strikes Wedarc affirm
sclhshness in one party, or in
both parties i'll the employer, or
i'll the employees, or in both, is
the cause of strikes. We claim
that free trade will not cure sell
hShncss neither will protection
cure selhshncss.
But we claim that protection
properly applied, that is, as it
has been applied by the Repub-
lican party, is a remedy fOrcovct
BUSINESS to certain extent. In
other words protection has
lifted us to a plane where we
need not covet our neighbors free
trade nor their markets.
We are informed by the free
trade press and free trade orators
that protection does not aid the
workman but enables the en-
ployer to become rich.
Now get your catechism. Get
free trade catechism.
Q. What is the great wealth
producer?
Ans.-Labor. The trees in the
forest are valucless without
labor; the various ores in the
mines are valueless without
labor; our great factories are all
valuelcss without labor.
Labor then is the great wealth
producer. Labor then is the
only wealth producer.
If the protective tariff makes
the employer rich, and labor is
the only wealth producer, how
can the protective tariffmake the
employer rich without making
work for the workman?
Will some free trade democrat
please enlightcn
