HANDLING POPS WITHOUT GLOVES

Atheneum last evening lald pare the
fallacies of the populist pretenses in fine
style. Think of a speaker telling his
audience that the paternalism that would
be sure to grow up under the pop theory of
government ownership of railroad scould
be provided for by the Acknowledgement
of railroad employees. Yet such Is said
to have been the assertion of Attorney
General Standish in his recent speech at
Devils Lake. Railroad men, contemplate
such a theory for a moment and see how
you like it. That the pop party would
require every employee to vote their
ticket is evident from the requirements
now insisted upon OF any resident who is
employed upon the addition to the capt.
toll now in process of construction.
The fallacy of reformation INDUCED in
by the pop state treasurer was exposed,
when the speaker showed how that gen.
tleman had taken advantage of a tech
n~icality to have the law, providing that
the state should receive interest on de-
posits, declared unconstitutional, so that
the deposits could be placed where they
would do the most good-for the pop
ticket.
Protection to home industry is one of
the cardinal principles of the republican
~party-home the most sacred place upon
earth. The prosperity of the nation, as
home, means the welfare of the individ-
ual home Of every citizen. Once say that
the interests OF the nations laborers will
not be fully protected and you blast the
great incentive that makes man INDUS
trious and civilization. DESTROYS. The
hope of the individual can only intelli-
gently be based upon the prosperity of
the masses. Such can only be accom-
plished by a thorough amalgamation of
labor and capital. Neither can succeed
as the enemy of the other. Glass legis-
lation in the interest of either is decried
by every principle of the republican
party. While, on the other hand, to array
the n against the other is what the
pops as their cardinal virtue,
and what every pop platform points to
as an oasis. The fusion the populists
and democrats have made is merely the
blending together of the worn out habit
iluents of of exploded isms with the
greed for Office, so long the hope and de-
sire OF every democrat.
The Bismarck TRIBUNE is also in favor
of fusion the fusion of the interests of
every citizen of the nation with that of
every other. The blending of the
interests of labor and capital SO that
each will act in harmony with the other
the protection of every home industry
and every home. The advancement
morally, mentally and financially of
every integral part of the great mass
that makes up the nations population,
or, in snort, the adoption of every prin-
ciple of the republican party that has
made u country loved at home and
respected abroad. Fusion with those
wholesome reforms which time has
shown Is necessary to be made to make
a perfect whole. From the pineclad hills
OF Maine Tom Reed has set the example.
Let US of North Dakota be up and doing
that 9 may announce to the world on
the 9TH of November that the republican
party, who look to North Dakota for a
good report like the mariner who turns
to the north for a guiding star, have had
their faith we'll founded.
