Principles of the A. P. A.

This association is being maliciously
misrepresented and we wish to be
placed fairly before the public:
l. Nationality is not bar to member
ship in the order. No man is asked
where he was born.
2. We. interfere with no mans
partisan politics.
3. We attack no mans religion, sc
long as he does not attempt to make his
religion an element of political power
t. We unite to protect our country
and its free institutions against the
secret, intOlerant and aggressive efforts
that are persistently being set forth by
a certain relgio-poEtical organization tc
control the government Of the United
States and destroy our blOOd-bOUgh1
civil and religious liberty.
3. We are in favor of preserving
constitutional liberty and maintaining
the government of the United States.
6. We regard all religio-political
organizations as the enemies of civil
and religious liberty.
Z. is IN our opinion unWise and
unsafe to appoint or elect to civil
political or military office in this coun-
try men who owe supreme allegiance to
any foreign king, pOtentate or ecclesias-
teal power and who are sworn to obey
such power.
s. We are in favor of maintaining
the principle Of ONE general unsec-
tartan free school organization, and Will
oppose all attempts to supplant it by
any sectarian institution.
8. We are opposed to all attempts,
local or national, to use public funds for
any sGctarian purpose.
10. We are in favor Of laws taxing all
church property.
IL. We are in favor of changing our
immigration laws in such manner that
they will protect our citizen laborers
from the evil influences of cheap
pauper and criminal labor, which,
through the instrumentality of Euro
pean propagandist societies, and in this
country by the aid of strikes and the
subtle influence Of priests, are rapidly
supplanting our free and educated
American citizens in every line of in
dustry.
u. We believe there should be an
educational qualification to the elective
franchise that will require every
''American citizen" to be AElericanized.
10. We are in favor of putting into
Office honest and true patriots who are
the best qualified to fill the position,
regardless of political parties.
Il. We are willing to be governed by
these principles in our future political
action.
10. Our mission is to awaken the
people Of free America from their
lethargy, Indifference and over-conf-
dence. Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty" yet the Professionals of this
Republic have ceased to be vigilant, and
in conscious strength are either intent
ly chasing the almighty dollar, or
quietly doing, while we swiftly drift
toward more tremendous and terrible
crisis than this country has yet known.

BLAENE's PROPHECY FULFILLED

Extract from speech of James G. Blaine, octo-
"The great Southern wing OF
the Democratic party are deter
mined to establish the doctrine OF
Free Trade in this land They
will be assisted by their Northern
allies. The fight is now on. There
is a great body of visionary but
educated men, who are employed
day by day in writing Free Trade
essays and arguments in favor OF
that doctrine, which find their way
into every newspaper in this land,
The great body Of our people have
never experienced themselves the
suAerings which always result
when the protective principles are
laid aside. Poisoned and excited
by the wild statements Of these
writer's and the demagogic
appeals Of Democratic speakers,
the result will be that in the very
near future these forces which are
now working will be strong enough
to defeat at the polls the party now
advocating the doctrine of Pro
lection. 1t must inevitably follow
that uncertainty and doubt will
ensue. The business men Of the
country, fearing the destruction Of
the principle of Protection, will
decline to engage in business,
consequently mills will shut down
and the workingmen will be thrown
out of employment. The people
will then see as they have never
seen before that they cannot be
prosperous and have work while
this principle is threatened. In
the midst of their suffering they
will learn that the only way they
can be prosperous and happy is to
vote for the party that has built up
the industries by which they have
gained livelihood; because they
will then see clearly that when the
mandatory is shut down there is
no demand for the only thing
which they have to sell, and that
is their labor"

THE TARIFF TANGLE.


Cussion in the Senate is that
nobody knows what is being
considered. There is a bill pending,
to be sure, but it is not the
measure that is likely to be finally
submitted to a vote. It is material
ly different from the bill that
passed the House, and there has
now been a compromise effected
which will still further and radically
change its provisions. Under such
circumstances, the debate is
necessarily restricted to abStrac-
tons, beyond which there is
nothing but vague conjecture and
general uncertainty. The Repub-
licans are ready and anxious to
enter upon the work of practical
legislation in the case, and to COM
plete it as soon as possible. They
are not responsible for the delay;
they are not flibustering to pre-
vent prompt and effective action.
The trouble is all on the side Of
the Democrats, who are unable to
agree among themselves as to
what they want, or what they are
willing to stand by as an ex-
preston of the views and purposes
Of their party. It is Well-known
fact that instead Of trying to
redeem the pledges upon which
they gained control Of the Govern
ment, they are seeking to evade
their obligations in that relation,
and to establish a policy that has
no justification in their past
professions and tendencies. The
existing tangle is the result of this
duplicity, as any one can readily
see who keeps track of their pro-
ceedings.
Never before in the history of
the country has there been SO
much vacillation, mystery and
confusion about a tariff bill. Such
measures have heretofore been
formulated, discussed and passed
in consistent and straightforward
manner. The legislators of the
party in power have been harmoni-
Gus concerning the doctrines to
be observed and the objects to be
accomplished. But in the present
instance, a want of definite agree
ment has prevailed from the start,
and it has been impossible to tell
from day to day what was to be
looked for in the way Of sudden
variableness on the part of the
Democratic majority. When the
Wilson bill passed the House, it
was supposed to represent the
deliberate and conclusive judge
ment Of the Democratic leaders,
including the President, who gave
it his formal Endorsement even
before it was reported; but when it
reached the Senate Finance Com
mittee, the Democratic members
Of that body at once proceeded to
amend it in important particulars,
mainly in the interest of trusts and
preferred classes and sections; and
now we are informed that a
virtually new bill has been pre-
pared. It is idle to debate the
proposed plan Of tariff reform
when the nature and the details of
that plan remain concealed. Let
the Democrats disclose the policy
that they expect to establish, the
bill that they intend to pass, and
it will not take long to dispose Of
the matter. In other words, let
them stop their own wrangling
and get down to business, and the
tension of doubt and fear with
regard to tariff Legislation will
soon be relieved.
