MONARCHY rs. ANARCHY.

Anarchy appears to have suddenly
risen to the surface with considerable
force in continental Europe, and this
may be accounted for by reasonable
hypothesis. In monarchies govern
meat is not for the people, but for the
privileged classes. Under the present
system what has the peasantry of Rus
sla to do with shaping the policy of
the czar2 Nothing at all. They are
simply the slaves of the soil, who ig-
noraRtly believe that they should be
thankful TO God and the emperor
for the privilege of existence. Is it
any matter of surprise that if, by cir
camstances, they become educated to
the true status of affairs, they Join
nihilistic societies, and attempt to orr
gin form of government in which
Russians should have the controlling
infuenceq That such is the fact is
simply indisputable evidence that in
telligent patriotism is not dead in that
country, and that those "to the man
ner born" have some interesc in the
land where their ancestors for centu-
ries lived. And is it any wonder that
the lordly Spaniard, with the proud
Castilian blood in his veins, should not
bear with meekness the rule of the
court at Madrid, whose paramount OBJ
ject appears to be its own aggran-
disement and the perpetuity of the
reign of the ruling monarch. Even
in Great Britain what right has Queen
Victoria to be the ruler over 43,000,-
900 people, whose ancestors have been
attached to that soil for nearly a
thousand Years2 There is no more oh.
selete doctrine in this age of the world
than the divine right of kings, and
the supremacy of the nobility can
not be supported by any process of
reasoning. The world should be
republican, or, at least, every
individual should have some inherent
rights, with which no one should in
terfere. This is the line of advance
nent of the nineteenth century, and
the brotherhood of man and father
hood Of God should be universally ac-
knowledged. That the mind of the
Russian patriot or the liberty loving
Spanlard, when reformation seems I'M
possible, should revert to the total de
struction of the existing forms of the
social fabric is the natural sequence
of the hopeless longing of patriots.
Anarchism is political disease, and |
it is impossible to eradicate it while |
the present conditions exist. You may
cure diphthera and fevers by path
ological treatment, but they will recur
until the atmosphere is purified and
the causes which produced them have
been eradicated. In republics anar-
chy only exists because the germs of
the disorder have been brought from
foreign countries, and the purifying !
influence of free institutions will soon
work permanent cure with all sane
men.

The defeat of the notorious Judge
Maynard and Tammany at the las,
election in New York has encouraged
ex Mayor Grace, ex-Secretary Far
child, and other independent Demo-
Gratis to reorganize the anti-snap move
ment of year ago as a permanent
power against the dictation of Tam
many in the future. They will again
invite Democrats to put down their
names and pledge themselves to oppose
Tammany even by uniting with Re
pu'licans to defeat machine-made
til cts in New York city. They ex-
pccr, also, to extend their organization
over the state to oppose the dictation
of the Hill machine in state politics,
and claim that they can control $780,
900 Democrats in the state to defy
David B. Hill and drive him from
power should he next year try to con-
troll the nominations for Governor and
other state Offices.

witnessed most heroic incident
many years ago. In 1866 two ladies
and two gentlemen went over the
Susquehanna river, opposite small
town in Pennsylvania, to place call
ed Peter Steps. To get to Peter Steps,
which is on bluff $50 feet high, you
had to go by back road. On top of
the steps were two tall pine trees,
eight feet apart, and to tie rope to
the trees and swing out over the
bluff was the object Of the party.
After the gentlemen had been swing
ing some time one of the ladies want
ed to swing. Annie, q beautiful girl,
got in the swing, and after short
time she exclaimed: "Give me good
push. I want to go out so l can see
the road below" We did so, when
snap went the rope, and with terri
BILE scream Annie went crashing down
on the rocks.
Almost scared to death we ran to
the road below. We could not see
Annie, but on looking up there she
was. Her clothes had caught on
small scrub oak tree, and she was
hanging between heaven and earth.
By this time a crowd had gathered
on the road below Everybody was
excited and was wondering how to
get her from her perilous position.
Just at this time Harry Saylor came
running up the road Seeing what
was wrong, he went up the back road
to the pine trees, and catching the
rope that was used for the swing de-
scended.
But, alas, the rope was too short
He did not wait for longer one, but
inch by inch he picked his way to the
oak tree, and by the greatest exer-
ton he managed to get her to the
base of the tree Once there even he
dared not leave go of Annie or the
tree. In the mean time a longer rope
was procured, and tying it around
Annies waist she was landed safely
above. Not so with Harry. When
near the top, he slipped. Down he
went, landing on the rocks below, a
bruised and bleeding mass.
Gently and tenderly was he taken
home, but his work on earth was
done. On the stone that stands at
the head of his grave are these words,

DEAOCRATIC SOPBIsTRY.

The following which we clip from
leading Democratic exchange in this
state, is clear evidence of the sophis-
try to which that party resorts to sup
port its fallacy of free trade:
"The woolgrowers and the lumber
men of Oregon will naturally be OPP
posed to that feature of the Wilson
bill which proposes to transfer wool
and lumber to the free list. They will
oppose it on the suppositlon that a
duty on these articles is necessary to
uphold the prices The fallacy of this
proposition has already been demon
strated in the case of wool, which to-
day is not selling for as much as the
schedule rate. The Mckinley law i'm
poses high duty on wool, and yet the
market price for wool hardly pays for
clipping che fleece, much less for rails
ing the sheep. The same is relatively
true of the lumber product.
Wool-buyers and manufacturers
have expressed themselves on different
occasions during the last few months
that the reason they have not pur-
chased the raw material was because
they expected it to be placed on the
free list,and would be at much lower
price. This is simply exercising ordi-
nary precaution in business, and is the
rule that is followed by every mer-
chant In this or any other country who
desires to be successful. It makes no
difference in trade circles about the
Mckinley tariff being in force when
there is well l,grounded apprehension
that it will be repealed at an early
date, for men exercising the least sense
will buy as little as possible if there
are indications that articles will be
cheaper. Even our esteemed cotem-
porary, in buying his stock of paper,
would not lay in a large supply, if he
thought in the near future the
market would be much lower.
With the endorsement of the
Chicngo platform for free trade,
with the pledges of the victorious
party given to the people that the
'.robber" tariff should be blotted from
our statute books, it is nonsense to
argue that because the doctrine of pro-
lection was still in force that manu-
facturers would buy as largely as in
former years when there were no
signs of any change in the economic
policy. During the past season there
were few sales of wool at any price,
and this was for the reason that free
raw material was expected after the
vote cast last November. And these
apprehensions have been proved not to
have been groundless, for the ways and
means commltteehas pl aced this pro-
duct OH the list of free articles, and
nothing, except solid stand taken by
Republicans in the next congress,
can save the country from being
flooded with Argentine and Australian
wool at price that will be ruinous to
our sheep.raisers.

that the only remedy that can be ap-
piled to the existing hard times is free
coinage of silver, and others who are
firmly convinced that the silver agita-
tion in this country has caused the
financial depression lately experienced.
The verdict of commercial nations Is
in favor of single standard es a
measure of value, and this conclusion
has only been arrived at after long
continued experiments. Perhaps the
tariff question has not been tested in
as thorough manner as that of the
circulating medium, and, aside from
the theories of some college professors
and the experience of Great Britain,
there are no indisputable authorities
in favor of free trade. England pur-
sued very stringent policy of protec-
tion until 1916 when she changed to a
modified free trade-not absolute. The
empire of Great Britain derives her
revenue from duties, but not on raw
materials. In this connection proper
consideration should be had of the
conditions in each and every country.
Great Britain, aside from her colonial
dependencies, is not an empire of va
RED resources, and very many raw ma
terials have to be imported. To tax
these would not protect the home
products-because. in many instances,
there are none-but would simply 10
crease the price of the article to the
consumer. This is not true of the
United States, for the variety OF soil
and climate make it possible, without
ruinous foreign competition, to grow
almost everything that enters into the
manufacture of commodities. There
is the experience of commercial ma
tions in favor of the gold standard as
a measure of value, and Great Britain
is the only successful country that is
the champion of free trade, and she
has every inducement to the policy she
pursues by reason of the paucity of
her natural resources.
The discussion of such subjects dis
tinguishes a face people from those
under the sway Of an absolute mon
archy. In Russia the peasantry takes
the ukase of the car ms sacred as holy
writ, and only the students in the uni
vorsitles possess that patriotism which
induces them to call in question the
right or wrong of implicitly obeying
the powers that rule. Freedom may
descend to uuhridled license; but any
one who he's an interest in the govern
meat in which be resides either as a
property owner, subject or citizen
should have the privilege OF critcising
the laws that govern hiu, and with
out this privilege he is little removed
from serf or slave. This inter
change of opinions in this country, on
the street and III newspapers and perl
odicals, IS the indisputable evidence of
free institutions, and when it does not
exist the great republic will have be-
come simply another name for despot-
ism. However much our opinion may
be inclined towards honest money and
the economic policy of protection, we
ere always delighted to hear a free
and frank discussion of these subjects
in every place.

care is taken to leave the American pro-
ducer with differential duty in his ia.
vor. Complete freedom is given only
where no competition is feared. 1t is
better than McKlnley's Chinese wall,
but leaves the foreigner trading with the

it Is preferable to the purely obstructive

But few days will elapse before
the first Democratic congress for over
thirty years will convene in Washing
ton City, and the country is anxiously
waiting to see what legislation it will
pass. On August 7th President
Cleveland called a special session to
repeal the silver-purchass clause of the
Sherman act, and this has met, done
Its duty and adjourned. Still the
pressure of hard times is felt in every
department of trade, and relief has
not come as promised. The ways and
means committee has drafted its new
tariff bill. placed several articles On
the free list, and manufacturers and
capitalists are trsmulous that Democ-
racy will wreck the industries of the
country by passing this bill. Repub-
lican, will stand a solid phalanx
against free-trade legislation, but they
are in the minority, and are powerless
to avert this threatened disaster.
From all appearances there can be no
hope of business again becoming pros
porous and the wage-earner being en-
ployed at remunerativs wages until
1896, when the party of progress and
protection win be placed at the helm
of national affairs. Four years of
Democratic destructive legislation Is
an appalling prospect to contemplate;
but there is no possible way to avert
it, and if our people will only learn
wisdom from this direful experience,
the American policy will not be jeop-
ardized again by any insane desire for
q change.
