The difference between the two great po-
litical parties OF the republic in relation to
the tariff issue is merely one of tendencies.
The democratic party tends toward free
trade, but gives open manifestation of that
tendency only In an enlargement Of the free
list and in reducing duties which are in
tended rather to protect home industries
than to raise revenue. The republican party
tends toward u prohibitory protective tariff,
but indicates this tendency only by curtail-
ing the free list and by increasing existing
duties and imposing new duties with the
object of fostering or creating American in
dustries, while at the same time raising the
necessary revenue. The actual differences
between the two parties In their respective
tariff propositions are often extremely small.
The free-trade tarin-for-revenue-onlyb bill of
1898. based on a political platform which de-
clares that protection is unconstitutional, re-
Bembles in many features the republican pro-
tective act Of 1888. which preceded the Nc
Kinley law, and the average Of duties pro-
posed by the former is said even to exceed
those imposed by the latter.

ed. push carts were gleefully upset and
fruit stands were regarded as legitimate
prey. In the places OF amusement there
was more of imported supremacy. The per-

they purchased theater tickets. But this

Ten years ago and there was no organiZa-
tion among men that was more influential
than the Knights OF Labor; today few So
cieties seem to be moving more speedily to-
ward dissolution. With a membership that
at one time could, If thoroughly harmo-
nious, have elected its leader President Of
the United States, it controlled countless
branches OF industry; now it is an occa-
sional tail to the labor kite, while It's one
time boss. T. V. Powderly, Is a discredited
member Of a disintegrated order. OF the
interminable quarreling that resulted in
Powderly's downfall the general public
knows nothing and cares less; it has no in
terest in anything save the lesson taught.
Powderly's ambition knew no bounds. He
dreamed of uniting beneath one banner the
toilers OF earth. and there was period in
the last decade when it seemed as though
his comprehensive plans might fully sue
ceed. What use would have been made of
the enormous power placed in the general
master workman's hands had the scheme
reached fruitiOn cannot even be nationally
guessed at. None of the glorious promises
of the organization ever approached reaiiZa-
ton; its principal officers could not stand
prosperity. First the controlling powers
were swayed by political influences, and
then there was deviation from the straight
line because Of religious prejudice De-
cadence was at once apparent and not for
a moment has there been recovery or even
promise Of recuperation. Latterly the
knights have been at war with the Fedora
tion Of Labor and with the subordinate
unions whose delegates compose the fedora
ton; strife that has injured both combat
ants, but especially the knights. With the
most acrid sort of jealousy in active opera
ton one or other Of the big organizations
was bound to fail, and the lot seems to have
fallen on the mediaevally-titled combina-
tion. But its opponent must be careful or
IL, too, will suffer much. Powderly has
been humiliat ted because he was the favored
one of the ring" and rings" are unpop-
ular just now. Gompers may well heed the
warning. So far as anyone seems to be
aware, Powderly has never used his office
for his own personal benefit, and in that
respect he differs from the average boss"
but his methods were decidedly dictatorial,
and have been resented 1t Is doubted
whether the election of James r. Sovereign
as general master workman Is likely to be
advantageous to the knights. He proposes
to remove the offices of the order to his
home in Des Moines. Iowa, far away from
the great manufacturing centers- Should
he do so that will probably be the end Of
what has been a wonderful organization.
