Mckinley.
Oh, yes; there will certainly be q re-
affirmation of the doctrine OF protec-
ton for projections sake in the repub-
licnn platform OF next year.
Mr.. Quay says so. Mr.. Platt says so.
Mr.. Cullom says so. Even Mr.. Allison,
| of Iowa, who can never be brought to
make a positive declaration of any
sort, has gone so far as to say that
''the republican party must not de-
part from its historic doctrine on any
question"
"Its historic doctrine on the tariff
question Is written in the history OF its
years OF uninterrupted control of the
government, during which it decreased
| the internal revenue taxes on the evil
| dences and instrumentalities of wealth
and increased the tariff taxes on the
mass for the benefit of favored indus
tries. That is the historic doctrine
Of the republican party on the tariff
question, which Mr.. Allison insists must
not be abandoned.
All this, however, indicates more OF
disappointment than of triumph for
Mr.. Mckinley. The growth Of the
democratic tariff law in popular favor
makes it dangerous for the republican
party to reassert its tariff doctrine, but
that reassertion is q political necessity
which cannot be avoided. The party
leaders viii be as adroit as possible in
giving it voice in the platform, and
they will not increase their difficulties
by nominating as the party candidate
a man who would give the tariff plank
q meaning which they do not want. the
people to see in it.
They are playing another confidence
game. They propose to have McKin'
leyism without Mckinley. st Louis

4 Mexican Frontier Ball,

DR.. Dewitt, of the army, used to tell
innumerable stories of his experiences,
and most Of them related to a time
when he was stationed at n post down
on the Mexican frontier. He was pop
ular down there, end deservedly SO, for
he attended the sick for miles around.
One time his Mexican friends deter
mined to do him honor. Accordingly
they arranged a great ball. DR.. and
Mrs. Dewitt were invited, and they
went, the two Of them. The ball be-
gan early, as Mexican balls do, and the
surgeon and his wife danced in the
first set. They danced in nearly every
set, in fact, for politeness forbade re-
fusal, and after a few hours of it they
began to be very tired. They were the
guests OF honor, indeed. Time wore
on and still the dance went on. 1t
went on all night. Finally, DR.. Dewitt
called one OF the men aside and asked
him when, in heavens name, the thing
was going 10 be yer "Oh, senor,"
said the Mexican, 1--WE have been wait
ing these many hours for you to give
the signal for the last dance.'-Wash-

LABOR AND REpusLIcANIsM,
Depressing Eject of Republican Lesisla-
ton on American Industry.

tion on American Industry.
The fact that labor is prosperous Is a
source Of much trouble TO some OF the
republican organs of the country that
are eonstitutionally opposed TO r~econcil'
ing any such state 6 affairs with the ex-
isteuce Of a democratic administration.
They do no have TO account for any
new triumph of labor over capital, for
il is the unmiStakable lesson of the re-
cent past that the interests of capital
and labor are identical, and that one
cannot prosper without the welfare
OF the other. They are not embar-
raised by any better place which labor
holds in the economic system, for the
position of labor has already been won,
and is recognized in the statutes OF the
state and Of the nation But what
puzzles these molders OF party senti-
ment is to explain the recovery by
labor Of the place it held before the
crushing depression set in two years
ago
Labor has not only recovered this
place, but has made ii more secure and
has a brighter outlook for the future
than ever before in the history OF the
country. The position held by those
who work is more commanding one
than they have ever before held, and
the fact is largely due TO their W eff
forts. 1t was the vote OF the wage
earners that overthrow Mckinleyism
and established a tariff for the people.
They elected the congress that did
away with the ruinous financial policy
Of the republican party, insisting that
the dollar with which the working.
man is paid shall be as good as
the dollar paid TO the government
b~ondholder. With this accomplished,
and with a wise conduct Of its affairs,
the future OF labor is assured. Indus
try is lourishing, wages continue to
advance, the relations between capital
and labor are, with a few exceptions,
harmonious, and the republican SPELL
binders are confronted by conditions
that drive them TO subterfuge and mis-
