Gle of revenue taxation" Though trust be
benefited to the extent of many millions, all
of which must come from the pockets OF the
people nevertheless tax the sugar bowl for
it's Democratic. That's the Presidents po-
sition. Having proceeded to put the ad-
ministration thus publicly on record, and it
will prove disastrous onel the President
proceeds to tell some unpleasant truths
about the Democratic Senate. Indeed he
may be hkened to an unfortunate in
dividual standing between the devil
and the deep sea and who became
so frenzied with fear as to throw himself
toward both calamities. He declares that
the Democratic departure from principle is
emphasized "by the suggestion that the
wool of the farmer be put on the free list
and the protection of tariff taxation be
placed around the iron ore and coal of cor
porations and capitalists. How can we
farce the people after indulging in such
outrageous determinations and violations
of principles
Is it any wonder that Senator Hill says
the plot tbiekens? Sugar taxation illustrates
in practice the pernicious tariff doctrine of
Democracy carried into effect. Cleveland
advocates it. The Democratic Senate al
ready condemned in the popular mind is
held up to the scorn of the public by the
Democratic President. The President is
logical and the logical result is Democratic
disaster.

Herbert Spencer has made too many
mistakes to be regarded as a prophet. Too
many fascinated by the brilliant attain
ments of Spencer have made the mistake
of attributing infallbility to him. This
sort of homage has evidently acted like old
wine upon the philosopher until intoxicated
by it he has come to think himself prophet
as well as philosopher. That he is not
and never has been is forcibly brought to
mind by his recent letter to the secretary
of the worlds congress of evolutionists in
which he prophesies reorganization on a
socialistic basis and sees civil war impending
in this country and eventually military des-
potism of the severest type. The learned
Herbert doesn't know what he is talking
about, doesn't have an intelligent compre-
hension of the people of this country or its
institutions. He is as ignorant and misin-
formed today as he was when he declare the
common school of America to be fruitful Of
evil.

government of the republic? Why should
he speak of himself as if he belonged to one
of the fixed social gradations OF an aristo-
cratic system, when he is member OF So
ciety in which all are laborers, and in which
the capital is almost wholly held by men who
began where he is, poor though he may be
In this country there are no classes.
There is only one class, and all the citizens
belong to it. To speak of Labor as dis
tinct social classification is to outrage the
spirit and the principle of our institutions.
1t is not the sort of talk BETTING Americans.

The New York Sun publishes a current
story to the effect that Secretary Gresham
sent to Japan the following dispatch !:
The United States views with regret the
levying of an unjust war by Japan upon a
weak and defenceless nation like Corea. +"
Such an asinine blunder is calculated to
take away the breath of even those who
have followed the erratic, un-American,
pusillanimous and intermeddling foreign
policy of the secretary of state. 1t is diff
cult to believe that Gresham sent dispatch
so devoid of common sense, not to say di-
plomacy las is credited to him. At the time of
writing the officials 10 the state department
denied the story but have not made pub
lie the dispatch which was sent. Gresham

Tariff reform" as laid down in the Dem
ocratc platform if adopted means wide
spread failure. Tariff reform" will be a
failure if the Wilson bill is adopted in all
its pristine inconsistency. A farcical pros
titute will simply masquerade in the garb of
tariff reform" if the Senate bill is adopted.
No compromise is possible that will repre-
sent tariff for revenue only, protection,
principle or common sense. Why continue
to wage this inconsistent, nefarious warfare
on the prosperity of the country?

The cholera still hangs on in Europe, but
it does not appear to be making very rapid
progress. Modern medical science, and a
better knowledge of sanitary laws and their
practical application, has enabled civilized
communities to deal with this dread dis
ease with far more success than has ever
before been possible. There is reason to
hope that the time is near at hand when this
dread disease will cease to be the serious
menace to human life that it is at the pres
ent time.

The support which woman suffrage re-
ceived from the fashionable women in New
York was of doubtful value. 1t became a
fad, so these women without a mission or
inclination to look after their own house
hold took it up, went into ecstasies over it,
held afternoon teas to discuss it and allowed
it to usurp temporarily the fashion plate.
The hot weather has dispersed these epieme-
raj allies leaving those who have woman suf-
frage at heart, who have toiled in the cause
these long years to bear the burden of the
work with the New York constitutional con-
vention. The prospect that this body will
take any pronounced step in the desired
direction is doubtful.

The Cant That Makes Trouble.
New York Sun.


As Senator Hoar told the students of a
summer school at Worcester, on Monday,
this country itself sis nothing but great
labor organization" and the Debs strike lis
nothing but little labor union rising
against great one"
The assumption of Debs and his crew
that there is in this country a distinct class
called Labor, and that they represent it,
does violence to every American principle
and tradition. Mr.. Cleveland was not less
recreant to the whole spirit and theory of
our institutions when he talked at the Madi-
son Square Garden, two years ago, about
"toil," as if it were the unhappy lot of a
class of fixed boundaries distinct from tho
rest of the people. The same recreant
Americans write and speak of the "plutoc-
racy," the "capitalistic class" as if the pos
SCISSORS of property were body by them
selves fortified by special privileges, into
which entrance from outside is barred.
In truth, labor and toll have been the lot
of people from the beginning. They are all
iaborers here, or, at least, the drones are so
few they are not worth counting. The pro-
posed Populistic income tax is made to dis
criminate against people with incomes ex
ceeding $4,000; and how many are there
of them? Only about $4,000 out of
100000 people, according to the
estimate of the trainers of the vengeful inn
position. OF these So 900, too, how many
get their incomes without regular labor on
their part? The number is not $500. Even
the richest of them are oftentimes the hard
est workers, and the great mass of them is
made up of people who have gathered by
toll accumulations which they keep only
by constant industry, or of men who are
laboring day by day in the professions
or in business. Hardly more than one
in ten of them has any money which was
not made by his own ability and industrious
application. In the whole U nion there are
not more than a hundred large fortunes
which were not built up by the personal
exertions of the men to whom they now
belong. Take the rich railroad men. ALI of
them, two or three families excepted, began
poor. Nearly every superior railroad Of
ficer has worked bis way up from the
bottom of the ladder; and the same pos
sibiiity of ascent remains for those who
are low down. They are all laborers
together, from the superintendent down
to the switchman, and each is paid
according to the value of his services.
1t is a disgrace to an American that he is
willing to be included in specific class
designated as Labor. Is he not an American
citizen? Has he not an equal voice in the

Then the trusts drew up tariff that was
Just what they desired, and the Democratic
Senate merely stood by and admired. The
Republicans protested, but the protests
were in vain, for the trusts poured out their
money as the clouds pour out the rain.
Even Vest and Mills we're silent, though
they showed that they were 'mad;" but
nobody could discover that the trusts were
feeling bad.
Sugar stock was bought up quickly BY
the great mems sons and cooks, and some
statesmen's names were written secretly in
brokers' books. Scandal grew so rife and
ugly that the Senate, in defence, even held
investigations" and protested innocence.
In the merry "secret sessions" senators
would testify how they "never specialized
while each winked roguish eye. Each
had mot bought stock nor sold it," though
the public knew he had and the people
grew indignant, but no trust was feeling
bad.
Then in conference committee sat the
Democrats at last, and the noises of the
conflict rivalled a steam SIRENS blast. All
the Democrats were quarrelling, and the
echoes of the fray travelled up the cable
car track to the White House far away.
MelllD6Ie IIOH Tue IOuse grew aushy =
Word came from the President, but the
senators responded that they didn't give a
cent" Difficulties grew as many as the
bones in Taunton shad, but nobody could
discover that the trusts were feeling bad.
Democrats with wrath grow purple, and
they even weep with grief. At the White
House they hold counsel, but cen there
find no relief. Smeared with scandal,
gross and tainted is the Senate tariff bill,
but the House is almost ready to take down
the bitter pill. So the trusts are suavely
patient and await the certain end, for the
Houses will is weaker and in time will
surely bend. So the House still chafes and
mutters and the President is sad, but no.
body has discovered that the trusts are feel
ing bad.
Still the peoples turn is coming and it
will not be so long ere the trusts that now
are gleeful will discover something wrong !;
for the ballot box can even bend stub
born Senate's will and Republicans will sure
ly draw up the next tariff bill. Germans
bill with all its scandals, all its jobberies
and deals, all its grossest imperfections, all
its pickings and its "steals. will be wiped
out of existence and the nation will be glad,
and at last twill be discovered that the
trusts are feeling bad.

One of the leading fire insurance men in
the State has this to say: fewer farm risks
than ever before are accepted and these
risks are pretty carefully picked over. He
says that if every farmer would have a
special fire ladder and barrel of water
conveniently placed he would find himself
in better standing. Mr.. Pinkham be-
lieves that for farmers the town mutual in
surance plan is best and cheapest, and he
finds that it is being adopted in Maine quite
freely. The advantages of such insurance
are that on account of the intimate &C
quaintanoe of the parties no bad risks are
taken and the people watch each other very
sharply.

is in every respect worthy descendant of

the old ticket entire and let it be Lincoln
