--"The sugar trust holds its grip

The republican pretentions of
wanting fair and honest elections are
very shallow when such fair and hon

dates. A living example OF this is the
present situation in California. In

BABY X FIRST.
The poet may sing

The poet may sing
Like a bird on the wing,
And the proSer accUstoln his quin
To a talented strain,
But Imeau to maintain
That there's one thing which passes The
skill.
II has never been sung
By terrestrial tongue,
II has never by pen been rehearsed,
How iueffably priced
And how much idolized
In the homestead il Baby the Ffrstl
Not for osSas OF gold
Upon Pelions rolled,
Not for pearls to the ornament piled,
Not for rubies galore,
Or the great hoh-i-Noor,
Would the mother r%elinQuish that child.
She would brave the high fire
or a Didoesque pyre,
She would patiently hunger and thirst,
II her sacrifice brave
Could by any means save
From one pang her sweet Baby the First!
Oh that dear little thing
Is the queen or the king
" the house in which it had BIRTH,
For the mothers strong love
Simply ranks it above
Ev'ry creature or object on earth.
Yes, she fondly contrivcs
To believe that its hives
Is Of earthly diseases the worst,
And its tiaiest ache
Will induce her to wake
All the night, beside Baby tho Firsti
Babies Second and Third
Have no reason to grid
At the mothcrly treatment they get;
Babies -Four, Five and Six,
They are much INDUCED chicks,

Number One would, indeed,
Pick o crow with mamma II they burst
Could they guess how much less is
The love she possesses
For them than for Baby the First.

PROTECTION VS.. M'KlNLEYlsM.
ProhlbItIve Rates of tho Mckinley bin
and Their Results.

anu z
Hon. John A. Kasson, who will be
favorably remembered us a republican
member of congress q score OF years
ago. writes a letter TO the Washington
Post to protest against the use OF the
phrase mckinley ism is dead Ihat
is, Mr.. Kasson objects TO that phrase
if It is to be understood that Mchln-
leyism means national protection
and theoretically he conveys :he idea
that il it doesn't mean that, but some
thing else, then he doesn't care a con
tinenial cuss what becomes of it.
Mr.. Kassou is justified in feeling
some anxiety on that point, and in
order to relieve his mind the Times as
sures him that McKinleyisrn doesn't
mean national protection" what 1t
means is the robbery OF the many to
enrich the few, impoverishing the
millions to add to the plumber OF the
trusts, and reimbursing the nanufac-
turing barons for the millions OF dol
lars they contributed to the republican
corruption fund in 1885 and 1872 IN or
der TO debaueh the ballot and corrupt
the voters of the country in the liter
est of the republican plunderers.
That is what McKinleyism means, as
distinguished from national protec-
ton. When Mr.. kasson represented
an Iowa constituency in congress the
government was under the policy OF
national protection, and he was among
those republicans who protested
against the increase of the tariff taxes
for the reason as they then said that
higher duties would be ~burdensome
and unjust. subsequently such presi'
dents OF his party as Grant and Arthur
recommended a reduction Of the du-
ties, But McKinleyism doubled them
in nearly every particular, and estab-
lished not protective but prohibitive
rates.
The consequence of the substitution
of McKinleyism for national protcc-
ton was the formation of n sugar
trust, n steel trust, a cordage trust, n
barbed wire trust and various other
trusts, the business OF which was to
plumber the people, and they did bust.
ness with great earnestness and assidu-
ity until the election of 1892 knocked
them silly. Then the new tariff bill
was enacted, and, though the advo-
Gates of McKinleyism denounce it as a
free trade measure, it provides for du-
ties a trife higher than those which
existed when Mr.. kasson was in con-
gress.-Kansas City Times.
