The Rome Sentinel is another of those
contemporaries which, taking the duties
on collars and cuffs as text, talk large
ly upon a subject that they know little
about. The Sentinel, like dozens of
other anti-protection papers, carries the
idea that the collar manufacturers great
ly enhanced their profits under the Nc
Kinley law, which is false. Prices were
not advanced on any grade of goons, but
the output was increased, home instead
Of German labor reaping the benefits.
Collars and cuffs are selling to-day
cheaper than they were before the Nc
Kinley bill passed. and so consumers of
these goods have not been plundered by
McKinleyism, as is SO constantly al
legged. These facts have been published
repeatedly, but the Sentinel carefully
conceals them and disseminates false
impressions. The statement that a cut
of ten per cent in wages was announced
by the manufactures soon after the Nc
Kinley law went into effect is also err
roneous. If the Sentiners purposes
were edifylng instead of partisan, we
could give il many more facts to show
that the retention of existing duties on
these goods would square with justice
and patriotism, and be the best thing
for the country. And the same is true
of other classes of goods similarly con-
ditioned, no matter in what part of the
United States they may be made.-Troy

The proposal of Congress not to APP

cultural colleges, is calling out our writ
ers on that subject. DR.. HosRins, in
the Watchman, has pertinent para

And here again, as so many times be-
fore, we want to impress upon our
brother farmers the sacred duty of Civ
ing to the children of the farm solid
and practically useful training. at home,
and in the schools. This ought to be
the leading topic of consideration on

Many of the advocates of Free Trace

PATRIOTIC MAJOR M'KINLEY

When testy old Samuel johnson was
moved to declare of patriotism that it
was ''the last refuge of the scoundrel," +"
he had borne in upon his mind, no
doubt, realization of the malign poten-
cy of good word converted to base
uses. There lie another ism" which
the honest old doctor might have oharao-
terizsd with equal severity, and it is one
which William Mckinley. the patriot, is
preaching in Missouri, Kansas and Ne
brasks, while he holds up to execration
the manly, truthful and wholesome ut
terances of William B. Wilson in Eng
land. "Protectioniem !" Protection to
American laborW These are pleasing
shibboleths; missionaries to persuade
thousands" in the mouth OF tho great
sttitudinizer, of whom the fiery Foraker
once remarked: Nobody could be as
profound as Mckinley looks"
But protectionism is none the less
dishonest because it ia euphonious and
fair seeming. Should the distinguished
patriot from Ohio pursue his pereRrina-
tions to the Pacific coast, we would like
to have him address himself to an expo
sition OF what or who it 10 that protec-
tion protects. Does he claim that high
tariff protects any man from the win
ter's cold? or the summers heat7 or
from competitive labor? or from q de-
clining wage scale? or from combina-
tions of organized greed, known as
trusts? or from glutted home market =?
or from financial panics or industrial
dspressions? or from any i'll that flesh
is heir to? Patriot as he is we think it
would be difficult for him to show how
enhancing the cost of blankets, fannels
and overcoats affords any protection
against the cold, or that elevsting the
prices of sunshades, awnings and the
essential materials for making and oper-
ating ice machines affords a protection
against the summers heat, or that the
absence of duty on men prevents the
importation OF competitive labor, or
that the Mckinley law prevented q de-
clinipg wage scale at Homestead and
Pullman. or that it was a protection to
the people against the sugar trust or
any of the brood, or that it prevented
the decline of wheat and wool in the
markets of the world, or that it prevent
ed the industrial depression of 1S93-94.
We would advise the patriotic gov
ernor to wave the old flag and con6ne
himself to the ingenious enlightened
sel6shness" plea of the high tsriffite.
Behind that, as behind stone wall, an
obstinate and ignorant selfishness cen
plant itself safe from the shafts OF com.
mon sense or the perauasions of q benig-
nsnt altruism. That is the plea by
which the protectioniat so eloquen.ly ex-
plains how pulling the agricultural leg
OF Uncle Sam" for the benefit of the
manufacturing leg will, in time, make
him formidable rival to John Bull.
But only the patriotic major can do this
enbject justice.

tinued public career, might hold in leash
his ultimate design for the common
veal, lest it be projected out of due
season. But, today, the statesman who
makes .festirG lente his motto is in dan
ger OF being left behind and deprived OF
the credit Of perspicac;ty.
The science Of government is now en-
gagng the minds of more people in this
country than at any time in our his
tory. Sentimental claptrap and sect
ional animosities no longer suffice to
draft men into the ssnssless lockstep OF
tions, engross the minds OF voters,
and they are diligently and se-
rously in quest of the truth.
The leader WHO steps to the fore
and proclaims the truth es he sees it,
withou. qualification OF equivocstion,
clarifies the minds of inquirers and they
fall in behind him. The magnificent
demonstration in honor OF Congressman
William l.. Wilson wnen he returned to
his people, after ne had put himself
distinctly or record in favor of putting
coal, the staple Of his district, on the
free list, illustrates how disinterested
patriotism arouses enthusiasm and be-
gets unmessured confidence. Such man
givss to his followers an inspiration far
exceeding the gratitude of constituency
for administration favors procured
through the agency OF the member from
Buncomb. We predict that it will not
take all the time between now and the 9th
OF November for the people of California
to discover in James. H. Budd and
George s. Patton the fearless and honest
champions whom men delight to follow.

The president of the Southern Pacific

The president OF the Southern Pacific
company has for long time cast long
ing eyes at the railroad spanning the
isthmus OF TehuRntepec. He ia credit
cd, and apparently not without cause,
with having on more than one occasion
made strenuous efforts to gain control OF
that very desirable property. Unfor-
tunately for him but very fortunately
for the Pacific states President Diaz has
determined that the Tehuantepec shall
be free road. Two OF the most event-
fnl years OF his liie-1S58 and 1850
President Diaz passed in Tehuantepec
rs civil and military governor OF that
district. To his exertious it is due that
the road lie now almost completed, and
in addition to being fully alive to the
possibilities open to it as a commercial
epterpriue, he has sentimental inter
est in its prosperity. And sentiment
counts for something with the Latin

The rumor of a threatened upture be-
tween England and France, no doubt,
is aimply revival OF the war scare that
prevailed year ago. While q war be-
tween these nations could only be re-
gsrded as q vast calamity. it is q matter
of some speculation what the result
would be. Since the Napoleonic struG-
gle England has had no war which has
taxed her staunchness to the utmost,
and this is the test OF military power.
Her operations in Ashantee, Abyssinia,
the Trsnsvaal and Egypt were of unim-
portant dimensions, albeit undue i'm
portance has been ascribed them.
Even at the Balaclava charge. which
poetry has placed at the head of all
feats of arms, the loss In killed and
wounded was less than 81 per cent,
whereas more than 60 regimonts during
the civil war lost in some one engage
ment over 30 per cent, and one 50 per
cent, yet few have heard of the fact.
