AN ABLE SPEECH.

1t is difficult to say anything new on
either side of the tariff question or to pre-
sent any Of the familiar arguments. pro
or con, in a new light. but Senator Lodge
did something Of both yesterday. His
speech was a real contribution both to the
philosophy and the facts Of protection. To
begin with, he treated the tariff as purely
a business question and advocated protec-
ton because of it's special adaptability to
American conditions and American inter-
ests. At the same time he showed that
free trade has not brought in England the
benefits that were predicted of 1t, nor any
thing like the benefits that protection had
brought in the United States. Mr.. Will
liam Maitland, an English writer of note,
in a recent essay on The Coming In
dustrial Struggle said: Opposed as 1
am to protection in every form, there Is no
doubt that more can be said in favor of it
for America than for any other country"
Commenting on this statement, the Belfast
News. in it's issue of March "a, says:
w nile DIOtcCllUIl lids tlll SiCu al Niu~oSSo
in the United States, free trade has i'm
poverished all classes in the United King
dom, paralyzing agriculture and depressing
manufacturers" Senator Lodge did not
quote these expressions, because he had not
seen them, but they are directly in line
with his argument.
Senator Lodge showed that he had studded
the philosophy of the relation of protec-
ton to wages and of the latter to consump-
ton. AS TO the Importance of maintaining
a high standard of wages and its effect on
the social system, he declared that he be-
lieved good wages to be absolutely vital to
the stability of our institutions and of our
society. There is no doubt about this. A
general reduction of wages to the European
standard would lower the standard of liv-
ing. the standard of thinking and the
standard of society generally in the same
| proportion. In other words, il would work
a social revolution and change the whole
fabric of American society and eventually
our institutions and laws.
The whole philosophy Of tariff legisla-
ton was concisely stated by Senator Lodge
when he said: Our first object should be
to hold our own market because it is the
largest and best; and that being done and
our own market securely guarded. our next
object should be to increase our outside
markets by any possible devices" In tina
statement lies the vindication Of protec-
ufacturers TO hold the American market
and to pay American wages. What will it
profit us to gain the markets Of the world
| speech is an able presentation of the pro-
lection side Of the tariff question.

WANTED-THE BEST.

The Republicans of Marion county de-
mand the best county ticket that can be
nominated, because they want to bring
about the greatest change yet known in
the management of county affairs. If the
best of the men who are aspirants are Sc
lected next Saturday, as good a ticket as
was ever voted in this county can be Sc
cured. No man should be selected for a
candidate who is defaced with a shady
record. When the best are in the field
it would be worse than folly to nominate
men for whom apologies and explanations
must be made as soon as nominated. The
man who has made a good reputation in
business, who is regarded as a man of in
tegrity and firmness, can be trusted with
public affairs. The man who has fallen
short of public estimation in any capacity
ports, should not be thought of as a Re-
publican candidate. The man who asks
office owes ii to his party to bring to 1t a
good character and a clean business or
01lclal record. Inc man VINO cannon 10
this should keep out of the list of candi-
dates. If any man should be a candidate
who is assailed with ugly charges after
being nominated. the Journal will not be-
come his apologist and defender, because
the various aspirants make it an easy task
to nominate able and clean men.
There need be no apprehension If all the
Republicans in every precinct who desire
a first-class ticket will attend the primaries
Friday night and insist upon knowing
wfom those who are presented as delegates
propose to support. After they get to the
primary they can demand time in which
to prepare a ticket If the men presented
refuse to declare that they will vote only
for the best men. They can instruct dele
gates not to vote for men whom
the believe to be unfit. At least, they
nave a right to know for whom their dele
gates will vote. The whole thing is in the
hands of those who desire a clean ticket
if they will but do their duty and show a
little courage.

and cool-headed men in their ranks for
friction of the past would be overcome.
There is much that is good in labor or
ganization, and If the mass Of the members
of the unions would but see that only hon.
est and intelligent men were chosen to di-
rect, ard that none but good workmen were
allowed to become members. organization
would be mutually beneficial TO employe,
employer and the public. If the troubles
of which the Chicago Building League COM
plains are chiefly due to the walking del
egates. it seems that they shoul present
that fact TO the unions and ask a modif-
cation in so far that excitable, arrogant
and oratorical men shall not be selected as
leaders with absolute overs. They should
strive to get into communication with the
large conservative element of the organiza-
tons and make arrangements with it. If
this cannot be done 1t seems that the lock-
out might be limited to Organizations which
insist on having INSCRIPTIONS men, seeking
causes for dissensions out of which they
live, retained with the absolute power of
walking delegates. Such action would be
in the line of Cancellation. But for en-
ployers to organize and then practically
deny the same right to employees will be
likely to array popular sympathy on the
side of the latter. If one class of men in
an industry have the right to organize for
self-protection the same right cannot be
denied TO others i'm the same business.

SENATOR HILLS SPEECH.

After this sudden fire in the rear il is
more difficult TO tell what the fate of the
Wilson bill will be. Have the free-trade
Democrats any prophecies to make on the
subject?-Chicago Tribune (Rep)
Senator Hill marred his speech by a sa ~
age and uncalled-for attack on the Cleye-
land administration but that was to be ex-
pected. and will carry no weight, as all
politics of a personal character is sure to
be discounted by an inquiry into its mo-
tives.-Pittsburg Post Dem.)
When a soldier throws down his arms
just as the order is given to advance upon
the enemy's works merely because he hates
the officer in command there is but one
name by which he can be known in the
ranks of those among whom he has been
enrolled.-BOstOn Globe CDem.)
Mr.. Hill will hardly claim that he is bet
ter than other men. He says he is a Demo-
crat, and iterates and reiterates the boast.
But there are other Democrats who add
the virtue of modesty to the perfection of
political alignment, and they support the
tariff bill for the good IL will do.-kansaS
City Times Dem)
Senator Hill. having spoken on the tariff,
now has his ear trumpet in position listen
ing for somebody to nominate him for the
presidency some more. The Senator should
be patient until the Coxey brigade reaches
Washington. They probably nave not a
postage stamp about their persons.-Louis-
Vile Courier-Journal Dem.)
1t is a denial of the faith preached by
Senator Hill himself ever since he emerged
from political obscurity. 1t repudiates all
that is creditable in his past. 1t covers with
shame the front of Democratic victory,
which he led in New York from the time
when he assumed the acknowledged leader
ship of his party.-Chicago Herald CDem)
Senator Hills speech yesterday was the
formal declaration of opposition TO the SEN
ate tariff bill that has long been expected.
He makes the failure TO carry out the Chi
come tax TO the bill the reasons for his re-
fusal to support it. The fact in Senator
Hills speech is his refusal TO vote for the
bill.-Pittsburg Dispatch Qnd. Rep.)
While th-re will be some surprise that a
New York Senator. elected as a Democrat,
took the floor to antagoniZe everything in
the policy and leadership OF the party, IL Is
a relief 10 be certain that Hill, Murphy and
the other traitors are on the Republican
side. Cleveland is coming back HIS speech
will restore Cleveland's hold upon multi
tudes of mep.-St. Louis Republic CDem)
In his exposition of tariff principles and
taxation the Senator is at variance with
some of the party. but in this the party is
to be congratulated For so long as its
members are honest in their convictions
they can be relied upon to resolve their diff
~ferences and In the end give the country
such legislation as is inspired by some
thing better than q selfish desire TO rule in
the interest OF class or section.-Detroit
Free Press Dem.)

GOLD COIN SWEATERS"
-Four Persons, Including a Woman,
Under Arrest at Baltimore.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Detectives FIRE.
burger and Reilly, of Baltimore, were at
the Treasury Department to-day and re-
ported TO Chief Hazen, of the secret serv-
ice. the arrest of a man and a woman in
Baltimore, last night, on a charge of mu-
tilating gold coin by tightening IL. From
their description Chief HaZen recognized
James l.. Wilcox and wife, whom the Sc
cret service officers have been in search OF
for some months. They are members OF a
gang which has been operating extensively
in Chicago. and to some extent in Denver,
Omaha, Sioux City and St Lotus Their
speciality was sweating twenty-dollar gold
pieces. and so successful have they been
that IL Is estimated that from $4,000 10 So
coo in gold coin has been artistically shaved,
remilled and passed again into circulation
The leader OF the gang, W. 4. SHAW Is
still st large. Those under arrest are A. -.
Peck. a dentist; Mr.. and Mrs. J. l. Wilcox
and Ralph Wilcox, a brother OF j. l. VIII
cox. Shaw and Wilcox ostensibly conducted
a real-estate business IN Chicago, but VII
cox. who is an expert machinist, spent his
time in a room on Adams street. skillfully
trimming gold coins by means OF a large
lathe. Shaw opened an account at several
banks. where he deposited quite large sums
of money, and they drew IL out In gold at
the rate OF from $500 10 500 a day. Each
morning he would deposit sufficient paper
money to keep his account even. The teller
of one of the banks became suspicious, and
one of the secret service officers was called
In. with the result that two OF the gang
were at once arrested.
In baltimore MIR. and Mrs. Wilcox op-
Grated extensively. and there Is reason 10
believe that a very large amount or the
short-weigh coin was successfully disposed
of. The officers last night secured about 500
of il, and about 500 in nlings. chicago
officers are expected 10 arrive IN baltimore
within n day or two 10 identify the prison
ers There seems 10 be no doubt OF their
identity. however. as WilcoX's full name
was found on his coat.

UncOnsidered Trihes.

When a man has a wheel in his head it
will be found that self-interest is the
spring that turns il.
This is the time of year when the man,
forgetting how he had to dig the garden,
beat carpets and rake the front yard, wish
es he were a boy again.
A Milwaukee philosopher thinks he has
discovered that no one can throw mud and
keep clean hands. The trick is easy enough,
though, if one can find some other fellow
who is willing to be used as a shovel.
The acts of the hypocrite show that he is
afraid of public opinion. And that is the
reason why public opinion jumps on him SO
fearlessly.
The pessimist has a hard time trying to
keep himself miserable. No sooner has he
discovered that all things are going to the
dogs than he finds himself in an attitude
of cheerful resignation.

In the following passage of his speech
Senator Hill hit Senator Voorhees, squarely
between the eyes. Referring to the latter's
Characterization of the opposition to the
income tax, he said:
The senior Senator from Indiana, Mr..
Voorhees,. calls this allegation a NOISY and
it is not half so noisy as the constant vitu-
perations which we hear on every hand
from blatant demagogues who are abroad
in the land, loudly i~nveighing against the
wealth Of the country and impudently de-
handing its confiscation through every
invent.
Mr.. VOORHEES, himself is one of the bla-
tant d~emagogues referred to. His entire
argument for the income tax in his recent
speech was an attack upon rich men SIM
ply because of their wealth. He described
the rich man as feeling himself sumptu-
ously provisioned against all wants and
amply protected against all contact or con-
Germ with the labor-stained millions who
struggle from one ocean to the other for
the means Of existence" He pictured the
possessor of wealth as Cooking out upon
the poor, tired, toiling world as If from a
fortified castle" He talked about the dan
ger of accumulated wealth in the hands
of patrician aristocracies," and declared
that, speaking in the fear Of my Maker,
l devoutly believe that the limit Of en-
durance has been reached; that the time
has come for a test to be made between
the power of boarded money and the power
Of productive labor He concluded his
TRADE against rich men by intimating that
they ought TO be required TO pay the whole
amount Of the pension roll. The logical
effect of his speech was a demand for the
confscation of the wealth of the country.
He richly deserves the severe retort Ct
