The Real HnttIe Ground.

Senator Sherman is deluding himself
in believing that New York is to be the
battle ground next November. Every

real battle ground is in the northwest,
where the Democracy and the Peoples
party will join forces against the COM

A Platform for Democrats.

This is an average of half million
annually, and in this great army of i'm
migrants in search of work the great
mills and factories find men to take the
places of strikers.
There is no possible way of protecting
labor from competition. 1t finds it on
all sides. Every new machine completes
with labor; every immigrant bears the
labor market. The great law of supply
and demand fixes the price of labor,
fixes the labor schedule. Why should
the laborer, unprotected and helpless,
vote to protect the capital of his en-
ployer? Why should he vote to keep up
the price of what he has to buy when
he sees and knows that it is impossible
for the same law to protect him in the
only thing he has to sell:-Louisville

Labor from Competition.
But what of the workingmen: how
are they protected?
Mr.. Carnegie knows how to protect
himself. He does it by having the duty
on his products made so high that none
can come into the country to compete
with him and break down his prices of
anything that he has to SELL
The laborer has nothing to sell but his
labor; how is that protected: Is labor
shut out by any law? Here are the tg-

was carried out in very large proportion OF
tbe nublic and private schools. in the civic
narades the school children marched h. tens oil
thousands. and carried off the honorS OF the
festivities. 4 wave Of patriotic feeling swept
over the entire country, uplifting the cause OF
FREQ education. The Executive Committee in
CHARGE of the celebration has already received
testimony from superintendent and teachers
in all parts of the Union showing that the move
ment has left profound impression upon the
public schools. and that nothing of like IN
tonsitv of feeling has been witnessed since the
close of the Civil War.
The Columbian celebration in the schools has
been at once an object lesson in National unity
and landmark of educational progress. Tn
one dav were heard patriotic utteianceS III
every section of the country, and the nag was
honored North and South with equal enthuSl-
asm. In many a Southern city veterans OF the
bluo and the gray marched side by side and
.aluted the flag as it was raised over negro
schools. In salt Lake City, where the flag was
At baf.mast on the Fourth of July few years
AGO a great concourse in the Mormon Taber-
nacle cheered with one consent when the Ma
tional colors were displayed. In the Far west
no less than in New-England the same pledse
was on the eager lips of the children who are
to be the citizens of the coming century: Al
legiance TO the flag and to the Republic Tor
which if stands one Nation. indivisible, with
liberty and Justice for all" The echoes OF the
celebration have come even from far-a"ay
Alaska. where America" was sung in Indian
schools and the flag was uniurled on Columbus
Day.
Certainly it was a good augury for the future
of this free land that the most powerful I'M
preston produced by the Columbus ceieora-
lion should have been made by this patriotic
uprising of the rising generation on behalf OF
the fac and free schools. The memory OF the
civic parades by day and the Examinations ana
papcantry by night will speedily fade; the
echoes of the oratory will soon be forgotten
bnt the conviction that the free school system
is the chief sign of progress and civilization IN
thc New World has been lodged in the minds
of the coming generation of American clt-
zcns. and it will never be displaced.

THE flag AND THE SCHOOLS.

TIE TRIBUNE has received from Francis
Bellamy chairman Of the Executive Committee
of the National Public School Celebration. a
highly appreciative letter referring to its SER
vices in promoting the success Of the move
ment. He states that an article from this Jour
nal on columbus and the Free Schools was
reprinted in the official circulars Of the com
mittee and very extensively copied throughout
the country. In his judgment THE TRIBUNE
did much to give publicity to the projected
Columbian celebration of the public schools
and TO arouse widespread interest in the move
ment. We are very glad to have been instri-
mental in directing public attention to prof
ect which appealed strongly to -patriotic SYM
pathies and was crowned with success
We apprehend that in the turmoil of the
election contest the significance of that far
reaching educational movement was not fully
appreciated 10y thoughtful Americans. On CO.
lumbus Day the flag was raised and saluted
by hundreds Of thousands of schools in every
Stale and Territory The Grand Army of the
Republic, wherever there was an organized post
sent details of comrades to assist in these patri-
otto exercises. "America" was sung in nearly
every schoolhouse in the land, and the uniform
