Political Economy Changing Bases.
No one who has observed the discus
sions of subjects coming under the
general head of political economy can
have failed to note that a change of
base has been effected. or. ut least. is
being effected. The idea so elabor-
ately set forth by Adam Smith. and
followed closely by Mill. Spencer. and
lesser lights on both sides of the At
lantic. is going way. The fundamental
idea of the old school was individual
freedom. with all its many corollaries.
When the useless sestraint of the past
which gave rise To that crusade for
larger liberty are recalled n cannot
fail to see that there vas great need of
reform in hat direction. But the need
now is such an adjustment of the prin-
ciplcs of government to individualism
as will correct the abuses of freedom
which have come to bc Il public
menace.
Henry Gould may he taken as the
representative of the logic of the old
idea in taxation. He would not only
tear down all custom-house. but give
up the taxation of all property except
land. Anything thai the owner can
move or hide he would exempt. whether
domestic or imported. Another logical
application of the same principle is
the leaving of everything to private
contract and competition. restricting
the province of government to the ut
most limit instead Of enlarging its
sphere. SO rs to male governmental
control Il provtection against corpor-
ate monopoly with all lis attendant
evils. Anarchy itself is still another
corollary of the old proposition.
for Il bottom anarchy is simply in
dividualism.
To what extent governmental inter-
ventiOn in business matters can be
beneficial is an open question. The
British Parliament and British Col
onial Parliaments. our own Congress
and State Legislatures have passed a
great many laws of late designed to
curb the power of combination. and in
many other ways come to the rescue
of society from the evils of unrestrict-
ed liberty. These laws have some
times beer ineffective, but Oftener dis
appointing. About all that can be
said in their favor is that they are the
gray of the morning giving promise
of a new day.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

When a man leaves the Democratic
party and goes over to the Republic
cans he is considered by the Republic
cans a converted sinner. but he is not
always converted. We know a man
in this county who has come over on
the Republican side. but he IS not yet
converted. He is trying to work some
old Democratic tricks on his opponent
for office. They wont 20, though.

to remove the chief of police and some
of the police officers for having ex-
torted money from the keepers of dis
reputable houses. on the pretext that
it would be paid into the campaign
fund of the Populists. And the evil
dence is said to be pretty clear that a
gigantic system of blackmail of this
sort extends throughout the State on
the part of Populist officials. For in
stance. it is proved that the infamous
lottery gang at Kansas City. Kan.
has been paying 5 5 1000 per month as
hush money to the Populist state gov
eminent. to keep from having the law
enforced against them.
And this from the leaders of "a party
which claims to be the only pure
political organization in the country;
which charges that the Republican and
Democratic parties are alike corrupt
and constituencies. Yet the fact re-
mains that the POpulist administra-
lions have been, in many cases. like
those detailed above-composed of a
gang of scoundrels who are o the
make" preying upon vice and crime.
The rank and file of the Populists are
honest but mistaken men, the dupes
of loud-mOuthed demagogues who are
using them for their own selfish ends.
The lesson is a plain One-the man
who poses as a leader. but whose ar
gument is wholesale denunciation of
all men who do not follow his lead as
corrupt and vicious. is apt to be a
scroundrel himself. 1t is one of the
ear-marks of a criminal nature to be-
lieye that all other men are ~rascals.
like himself: and the Populist leaders
are fine examples of it.-Toledo Blade.
