The process Of liquidating has beg:l

''liguidation." Does not Wilson,
chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, declare that the fight has bc-
gun to end only in absolute free trade?

President himself, in his latest eontri-
button to the conflict of letter writers,
tell us that this act furnishes a want
age ground from which must be waged
further aggressive operations against
protected monopoly and government
favoritism?'' The President must have
referred to protection To American in
dustries, for he uses the sacred language
of his guild.
He could not have meant sugar, for,
In his last public epistle, with most
lovely but Unm;stakable circumlOcu-
ton, he has eXhorted the brethern not
TO be frightened at that, and was -
tender to il in n veiled way as he was
and is openly for its broth n tenants of
the same hotel floor, the Dominion
Coal Company, why should we conf
ment on the POp-gun bill? They sleep
side by side i'm the haven of rest. It il
bad to he dead, but il must be disgusting
10 be a dead humbug. They cannot
even hang on them the little shre,is of
hypocrisy for which they were in
tended. Mr.. Carlisle has moved even
the hillOck on the grave. The world
enjoys very greatly the Democratic
denuneiatiOn of trusts to-day. And
good all this talk is. The deeds Of
these people may not be all tina. the
decaiOgue demands, but their language
Is. Their votes are wrong, their actions
are fatal, but fling out the banner and
war-cry of saint Pecksniff and down
with monopoly" and the public will
forget the Sugar Trust they did aid and
even the Coal Trust they tried to aid.
History does not lack parallel

memory ''all taps i vanities, " and yet

left Baby Charles and Steenie the Duke
of Buckingham laying his duty before
him, said King James of the rrprobatc
Delgarne. "Oh, Geordic dudlinS, Geor-
die, it was grand To hear Baby Charles
laying down the guilt of discrimination
and Steenic lecturing on the purtitude-
of incontinence"
The President cIings almost to we;ri-
ness To his free raw material. What i
there i'm it? Nothing but fantasy and
delusiOn. What defense : there for pro-
lection at all except in the broad doe
trine that this country should do IT. own
work and export its own resources or in
the broad doctrine that full wages
should be paid its workmen? Are not
the men who did go out of the mines s.
worthy of encouragement rs the people
who toll in the mills?
One thing cannot he reiterated tcO
often and touch upon it again. This
country i weary almost unto death of
these disputes about tariff. We are,
above all things, weary of this long III
action and uncertainty. We were
ready to seize AT anything, if only it
were finality. ''Give us something
we can figure on and let Us alone, wa4
the cry. But, alas, even that repOse j.
denied us. The leader in the House
declares we shall have rest. The leader
in the Senate still talks of fstorming the
citadel and the defeated President,
and, a. he says, taking his
place among the rank and file, with
one voice proclaim new agitation and
a new crusade. More than that Mr..
Cochran and Mr.. Tom Johnson and
all the out-spoken brave men who
would have fought the act to its death
proclaim their undying hostility
thereto.
Whatever the Democrats think cf
each other, whatever they say Of each
other, however much they may differ

in the struggle for the overthrow of the

Of the unhappiest uncertainty. We are
promised two years more unless the
House be wrested from the grasp Of
these men and the hands of Mills. VIII
son, Cochran, Johnson and the Presi-
dent are stayed. But the American
people viii take care of that. Not Re
publicanS alone but honest, sensible
people of all parties and of all faith.
One year and Il quarter of such govern
mcnt will suffice for half a century.
Men begin to see now tIat the pros
pcrity OF this country was not a matter
IF course, a thing which happened of
itself, hut was the result of sensible
measures of sound system and a wise
forecast.
However short the Republican party
may have come of perfection il govern

ye shall soon see its like again.
