HISTORY WILL, REPEAT ITSELF.

A widespread financial revolution
necessarily changes the plans of many
individuals. Plans with speculative adj
juncts will bear only smooth sailing ana
on open sea. Shipwreck and disaster
comes with even local storm, but when
it comes as great tidal wave it affects
the material interests of nation. One
of the results Of these destructive tides,
as shown by history, is the innlgra-
ton in great hunters of people whose
/ interests have suffered thereby. After
the panic of 81 10 II there was a general
move westward. Indiana and Illinois
were then on the frontier and owed
their settlement largely to the general
stagnation Of business in the older states.
From 81 to go there was a general STAIN
pede for Wisconsin, Iowa and parts of
| Missouri for the same reasons, and fol-
| lowing the panic OF 70, especially during
| the years - to '18 there was perfect
hegira to Kansas, Nebraska and the
/ DakOtas. The great majority of settlers
during those years viii connect this
| more directly with the conditions grow
ing out Of the great financial storm
which came on with the failure Of Jay
Cook s. Co.
That this is all to be repeated as the
signal to the present stagnation in hus-
mess throughout the country is as GER
tam as that men always do about the
anne thing I'm der like conditions. The
east is over crowded, business Is over
done, thousands are out OF employment,
and practically without means. Prop
erty values are high and the soil IN
many places is exhausted. There is but
one alternative and that is to move west
where the remnant of cash may be in
vested in cheap, productive lands. This
viii yield a support from the start, and
the least that can be expected
Is promises more than the sub
divided, worn out acres of the old farm.
Thus it is that the west has received her
periodic foundations Of eastern immi-
grants, and for the same reasons they
will come again. There Is not even the
element of risk in arranging for this in
the near future.
Kansas has always prospered under
the inflow of population. II is so much
gain to her productive capacity, and the
new money employed finds ready circu-
lation among these already here engaged
in business, or with supplies to furnish.
There is every reason to believe that a
succession of good crops is near at hand. J
This can be expected because it has |
been so in the past. Partial failures and |
phenomenal yields come in cycles, and |
the crop season is now due.
immigration NAV be greatly assisted |
by the railroads. It seems not only bad |
business policy, but suicidal for the |
managers to exact the last cent of old |
time high tariffs under existing con-
dltions. Half rate excursions would |
deluge the roads with business and food |
the west with people. No one need be |
told that this would be profitable TO the |
railroads, where as they are now running /
behind. No wonder there is threatened /
legislation. The people ars the rods
alike are suffering from tins pig-headed |
policy. When they see it they viii fare
better, and the west will be more pros
porous,

LET THEORIES ALONE

We are at last under new tariff law.
! Whatever that law may be, it cannot
! help be better than no law at all, or a
condition of uncertainty and tinkering
which virtually suspends all tariff laws.
But the law which Cleveland stigma
TIED. and would not sign, the law which
hears the name of Wilson but has been
denounced by Wilson himself; the law
which is all cut and finished TO conform
to the wishes of the HavemeYers is chiefly
valuable in the lesson it teaches the
American people.
The whole sum and substance of the
rough experience we have had since the
Democrats came in, Is the warning;
LET Theories Alone"
1t can not be doubted that in all the
years that the Democrats have been
preaching free trade that they have been
in a measure sincere. They have been
chasing this will o the wisp of high
wages and low p.ices. So earnest were
they in this belief that this was not an
illusion, but reality, that two years
ago they succeeded in deIuding with
/ themselves, a larger part of the whole
nation.
But when the pinch came. their eyes
were suddenly opened. They saw at
last that they had been pursuing a
phantom, and when it came 10 the point
OF passing an approximate free trade
bill, they found that it would simply lie
ruination.
The house passed such 4 bill. well
/ knowing at the time the temper Of the
senate, and realizing that the senate
would change it. The senate did change
it. They destroyed the free trade feat
ures of the Wilson bill. and il went to
the conference committee. There was
a short battle there. Il was not 4 hard
battle. The house surrendered without
a pang. or without the least show of
ferocity. The house did so because its
members, or Z majority Of them, were rs
afraid of the once-adored free trade as
the senate was.
II the house had believed thoroughly
in free trade, or approximate free trade.
it would have remained IN that confer
euce and fought the senate TO doom's
day. But the Democrats discovered tina,
they had been wrong ali these years. and
they had to acknowledge If by showing
the white feather and backing COM
pletely down.
There Is no question about their sur
rendering willingly. II the legislation
on the tariff admitted of the senate tax
ing the initatory action aud framing the
original bill, the people would have seen
the house when 1t reached there, amend
ing the bill on protective lines.
50 long as this country Is new and I'M
developed and constrained 10 fight older
/ and more settled and stronger comDeti-
/ tors. free trade is a theory. To the ora
tor it may appear gliitering. To the
prospective Congressman II NAV seem a
! great necessity. But when he gets into
/ congress. and when a free trade bin Is
/ presented TO him and he puts IN on one
end Of the balance and on the other end
places the growing industries Of this na-
+ ton, and the needed governmental reve-
nues. the revelation that lie has been
4 wrong in the past comes 10 him as an
electric shock.

is none the less Pop by adopting his
creed as fundamental to greater ex-
tremes. That he adds disregard for law
and applies the torch, is no retraction of
the milder forms which break out in a
wOrdy protest against the government
that Is. This form IF protest is tolerated
under customs which have long pre-
vailed in this country. The right of free
speech is held az the inalienable RICH of
every man, yet the exercise OF it may
lead to mischief. The mere TRADE
against all rule and every party save
their own, must not be taken as proof
of genuine patriotism on the part of
these Pops. In opposing Democracy
per Sc, they antagonize the truly Amer
lean principle of majority rule. This is
the germ principle of true democracy yet
these patent reformers oppose IL. In
combating the Republican party they
Tefute the doctrine of a strong central
government. A government strong
enough to preserve order, they hold as
subversive of the rights of individuals.
The right of individual protest, they
hold, is higher than the right of our
government to rule The fact that oar
government is representatives. govern
ment by and through the consent of the
governed, has no bearing upon their So
called claims and demands. Were they
in the majority nothing more would be
asked. The right of protest would be
cast TO the dogs, and they would be first
to claim tho constitutional right of the
majority to rule, and to shape a govern
ment, not only cent al, but despotic in
form.
What more perfect form of an oil
garchv could be conceived than a gov
eminent at Washington in charge of the
banking system, the railroads, telegraph
lines and municipal laws OF the whole
country? With power infinite, and the
execution of party mandates, restricted
only by the limitations of their own
sweet Will, these protecting reformer5
would soon give US a sure enough pater-
nal government. Sensible people will
consider the risk of a monarchy, which
cranks would soon carry to the extreme
of anarchy, as too great. The correct
thing for the law abiding, home loving,
but misguided voter, who Is fostering
this movement by blindly following a
few place-hunting, anarchistic leaders,
10 do Is to come out from among them.

WHAT DEMOCRATIC RULE COST.

The depression that resulted from the
attempt of the Democratic party 20 carry
out its pledges has been very expensive.
Business has been forced into stagnation
for more than year. The best index of
the prosperity of the country Is TIE
weekly bank clearings. During the past
year the clearings fell off $14 200, 900, 600.
A loss of 5000 for every man, woman
and child in the country. The increase
in business failures was % per cent, ag-
gregating IN increase of $2C0, 900, 600.
The decrease in the price of horses and
mules cost the farmers $500, 900. 900.
The loss in the price of wheat was
enormous, and the depreciation in the
price of real estate exceeds that OF all
other losses combined. The Democratic
party has forced the country to submit
10 this gigantic loss for the privilege Of
looking on while a Democratic congress
quarreled and dickered and jobbed, only
10 agree upon measure which the
whole country pronounces to be a pitable
surrender to the dictates of a few allied
trusts and a fiat reputation of the PLAIN,
explicit promises under which the Demo-
cratic party gained control of the federal
government
