"The republican party will never again

the tariff issue We have reached a point

republicans and busintss men generally,
whether republicans or democrats, will
oppose any sweeping changes in the tariff.
The people desire rest as far as possible
from this ISSUE They are in favor of a
tariff for revenue first and that tariff so
adjusted as to protect American labor,
not to give capital an undue advantage.

Patriot AddiCks,

There is food for much reflection in the
action of Addicks, the candidate for
United States senate whom the state OF
Delaware rejected. He was rejected
because he was not fit man to represent
a state anywhere, especially in the United
States senate. His record is that of very
offensive monopolist who has used his
great wealth to corrupt the politics of a
state in which he has but nominal resi-.
dcncc. The particular monopoly which
has supplied his wealth is the making OF
gas for municipalities.
What we wish to call particular atten.
tion to in this Addicks incident is the re-
markable selhshness of the man. His
main argument in his own support was
that he was liberal contributor to party
funds, that he always had the party's
good at h cart and that sIch disinterested
bencvolence should be rewarded. But
he neglected to say that every dollar he
contributed to the party's support was
with a view to his own advancement
Otherwise he would not have allowed his
four supporters to persist in maintaining
deadlock in the legislature. Their
constant observation was "Addicks or no.
body" And to the very end they refused
all overturcs, all inducements to vote for
a compromise candidate, never once fail
ing to vote for Addicks. So in the end
this gerat party man stood calmly by and
saw a United States senatorship wrcsted
from his party because he was not paid
his price for his four votes-the price be-
ing an election to the senate. A fine
specimen truly for such an exalted posi-

Abbreviated skirts on the stage.

The younger generation of today can
hardly realize that the display of women s
legs on the stage is a modern Innovation
In Shakespeare's days female parts in
plays were personated by boys and as
late as thirty years ago such thing as
women appearing in tights on the stage
was unknown in the United States.
The first show of the kind was the Black
Crook organized by Messrs. Jarrett s,
Palmer about 1874, and it raised great
sensation, being made the text of many
sermons which were thundered at the
stage. Following the black crook came
the notorious can can dances which, how
ever, were very decent affairs compared
with the kind of displays put on the stage
today.
Miss George Parker, popular enter
tainer i'm the vaudeville theatres, gives
her opinion on the subject, which we
quote:

Miss Parker, land can tell you that the
customs of today, so far as the variety
theatres are concerned, are very different
from what they were when 1 first went
into the business Then it was risky
thing for woman to come out in long
skirts and show her legs, even up to her
knees but now, well, If you don't fling
your clothes around and kick high and
sing suggestive songs your act don't GO

half dozen skirts, ranging in color from
the deep red of the inside ones to very
faint pink outside. l have red silk
Knickerbockers to match, and they are
made so full and have so many ruflles
that they are almost like divided skirts.
Well, you'd think 1t would be enough if

me that I've got to make it more spicy

harder to get up something that will ex-

much shown them that they don pay any
more attention to what used TO be con-
sidered very risquc and naughty dozen
years ago; and, do you know, think the
bicycling women are responsible for
good deal Of this jaded popular taste.
When a man can go out in Central park
an see dozen pairs of well shaped legs in
tight-ftting Knickerbockers for nothing,
he won't pay to go to the theatre unless
he can see a great deal more. As for the
talk about such displays being immodest

Wilson Bill and Democracy Endorsed.

In our telgraphio news on the first page
of this issue is the annOuncemnt Of a ten
per cent increase of wages in all the de-
partmcnts of the Carnegie steel Company.
This announcement is very significant
and is a strong endorsement Of the Wilson
bill and the democratic party. When the
democratic congress revised the tariff
schedules the republican press set up a
calamity cry and predicted dire distress
Tor the workingmen.. One of the things
the democratic congress cut in two was
steel rails, the chief product Of the Carno-
gie company. Now what have we? In
stead of the distress and lower wages that
che republican press said would follow,
we have ten per cent increase of wages.
The democratic party is the party of the
MASSES and all legislation by our party is
aimed as the advancement of and for the
welfare of the masses. The workingmcn
of America can always trust the demo-
cratic party.

"The Mexican wanted free coinage, 4"
continued Mr.. Perkins, "but they wanted
it in the United States. When asked
them what good free cionage in the
United Statets would do them they said:
"Why, It would double the value of all

mint and get your coined silver worth 100
cents to the dollar in gold Then we

fact, known by personal experience to be
a fact, Is worth barrel of theories.

1t is already evident from the failure
of the bulk of the democrats in Illinois to
seriously interest themselves in the effort
to commit the partysto the advocacy of
the free coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16
to that the friends of cheap money in
the state have miscalculated their
strength and made tactical mistake.
There are equally encouraging indica-
tions of wholesome growth of honest
money sentiment in the south. AS the
business of the country improves it will
become more and more-difficult to plunge
the country into another season of indus
trial and financial confusion. .-Philadel-

BRICE'S AIM.
He Wants the Ohio Democratic Con-
ventiOn to Declare for Sound Money
and Has No Interest i'll Other
Issues.

Columbus, o., August 8-A very close
friend of Senator Brice, to-day said to
the representative of The Associated
Press in regard to the position which
the Senator occupies in the contest now
pending against Democrats of Ohio that
his sole object is TO obtain in the COM
ing State convention an expression for
good money.
He wishes the integrity Of the Demo-
cratic party to be made secure. All
other matters which naturally belong TO
the canvass going on, and matters
which do not legitimately belong TO it.,
things injected into it, are Of minor
consideration.
So far as concerns the candidates on
state and county tickets, for the mem
bers of the general assembly and the
selection Of L. S. Senator by the con-
vention, or by the people, he cares MOTH
ing about, in comparison with the main
object to be attained, and it Is not his
intention to engage in any side issues
merely TO detract from the ultimate aim.
Out of $50 delegates elected to the
state convention 400 are said by this
gentleman TO be for sound money.
