all over the country, he said. "That.
however, is not the fault Of protection"
and tn the WOrEngmen whose wages
had been reduced, in spite OF pr0tec-
ton. he could only offer them this cold
ALTERNATIVES: 'lf, finally, wages are not
measured by a fair standard OF value,
then must labor take advantage OF
thousand opportunities afforded IN this
free and protected country and do Tor
itself what it now does for Others"
That is to say, if the workngman can
not obtain from his employer in tne
projected industries the wages he
thinks he is entitled to, then he can go
out and start a factory OF his own.
Mr.. Mckinley has the same contempt
for cheap goods now that he had III
1891. He defends his act now because
it made everything dearer, and derldeS
cheapness just us he did that year. In
the speech made at Kalamazoo he met
tie Democratic claim that taxation
made things dearer aud that removal OF
taxation would make them cheaper. by
saying: "Well, now they say you would
have things cheaper if you only had
Democratic revenue tariff. Cheap!
do not like the word. Cheap and
nasty g0 together. This whole system
of cheap things is badge Of poverty;
for cheap merchandise means cheap
men. and cheap men means cheap
country, and that Is not the kind our
fathers buiided." In spite Of this SEN
timental theory of Mr.. Mckinley's.
there is not newspaper in the conn
try but daily confrOnts him with the
fact that cheap merchandise is appre-
ciated by the people. Against Mr.
Mckinley's laudatiOn of dearneSs We
can set Mir. Wanamaker's advertisements
of the diminished cost of the things that
men and women and children need by
reason of the reduction of the tax on
them by the act OF 1894. Mr.. Mckinley
is the apostle of sentiment or emotion.
Mr.. Wanamaker's shrewl business
sense recognizes the common sense im-
pulse of everybody to purchase the
things they need at the lowest cost pos
sible.

Mr.. Heatwole will regret having aban-
doned the role of the ''voiceless advo-
cate of all unknown cause" even to the
extent of committing himself to the
silent types of the public print. He

| Mr.. Hall is evidently in earnest in this
| campaign. He believes now, as he has
| for years been convinced. that the ques-
! tions involved in the campaign are uf the
! deepest interest to every man, woman
| and child of his district and the nation,
| and as such are to be seriously thought
over and discussed. He does not be-
lleve that the way to meet them Is by
| misrepresentation of facts or conditions,
| but by stating fairly the policy he ln>
tends to support if returned. and its Ell
feet on his constituents. He expects
| and believes that the voters Of the Third
district expect from his opponent a
| similar seriousness and frankneSS. The
peitifogging that Is eXcu sable in petty
court by petty lawyers he thinks does
| not become men discussing great
national questions. and his reply to the
medley of persifiage which Mr.. Heat
woie recently put forth as his answer to
the proper and pertinent questions
asked by MIR. Hall, which we present
this morning, is in keeping with his
| sense of the dignity of the office both
| aspire to, aud the Importance OF the
| issues involved.
| Were the question simply one between
| Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Hea:wole, were not
several thousand people concerned in it.,
| Mr. Hall could. and doubtless would.
| have treated the potpourri of campaign
| slush which Mr.. Heatwole put forth
with that silence of contempt which it
merits. But as the personality of neither
| is involved. as it is solely one OF the peO'
| pie OF the district, Mr.. Hall is fortunate
| in the weaknesses of his adversary per-
hitting him as they do to treat the varl-
Gus phases of the question fully, and,
while ostensibly replying to the quips
of his opponent, really making strong
| arguments to his constituents. MIR. Hall
| and his people have cause to thank Mr..
| Heatwole for his rashneSs. and. it must
be said, his folly. AS further contrl-
button to this continuation Of etucatlve
campaigns the reply of MIR. Hall is val-
liable, and will be read by his constltu-
ents with interest and Increased pride
| and confidence in the ability OF the man
they have heretofore selected to repre-
sent them in the councils of the nation,
and whom they will again select.
