CANNOT THINK
Republicans Remain Inert In the Hands
of Their Bosses.


Having decided that it is debarred
from telling what it thinks about any
living issue the republican league
stands as an organization whose only
occupation is To elect its own officers
At Cleveland the league discovered
that by the terms Of its constitution il
has no right TO think. The members
seemed pleased with the discovery OF
their situation as political infants,
without the privileges and responsible
tiles Of frcemen.
The republican party can always be
reckoned upon To show the legitimacy
Of its descent from the federalist body
which dis;rusted the American people
and wanted TO secede that il might re-
new allegiance to the British monarchy
and aristocracy.
The fcderalist OF 1900 was either
boss or slave. The born federalist is
always willing TO surrender his own
independence Of opinion and defer to
the mogul he acknowledges as his mas
ter. Admission that he is unfit 10 think
or act except under orders comes to
him easily. 1t would not strain his
Americanism much 70 give up the bal
lot altogether and let privileged few
do tho voting and governing unchecked
and hcreditarily.
We democrats are prone to wrath
and strife in the great political
struggles which affect the welfare Of
the people, but it is the strife out OF
which flow accessions to the happiness
of the masses The docility of the re-
publicans under the management of
their bosses Is symbolical of the order
OF things under which all accessions
accrue to the powerful few and all the
losses fall to the share of the toiling
many.
Democrats fall from power or miss
getting it through their honest d.
visions over what is right Fedcralists
fall or fail through their inevitable
abuses when in power or the certainty
with which they assume the wrong
side OF any question which concerns
the free and equal participation OF all
citizens in the benefits of government

DODGING THE ISSUES.


The republican league convention at
Cleveland lodges the two important
issues Of the day-tariff and silver.
The report of the platform committee
leaves every thing to the national con-
vention of next year. This is dodging
extraordinary. The reasons are not
far to seek.
On the tariff question the republican
party is an attorney without case. 1.
can do only as the old lawyer advised
his son: when you have absolutely
no defense roar and paw dirt and dis
tract attention" But the revcrber-
nting echoes Of the blast furnace and
the din Of reawakening industry and
rcestab lished prosperity under demo-
cratic tariff make republican roaring
and calamity-shrieks sing mighty
small.
On the silver question the repub lican
party is house divided against itself.
Here is a great question. To which n
great party would address itself. The
voters OF the country expect political
parties TO have the courage Of their
convictions, IL they have any. This is
. case where the sole conviction i a
mistaken conviction that spoils may
be had by straddling and the light won
by running away from the issues.
The people have no use for fawncrs
and towards. men who have no opinion
Or dare not express one.
On the two great issues Of the day
The republican league has lost its
'ongue- 1t stands mute. 1t Is the ST.

In August 1894, the Wilson tariff
bill. reducing the tariff duties, became
. law. Immediately factories opened.
Idle men were set ut work, wages in
creased. mills were crowded to the ut
most capacity TO supply orders In the
schedules including iron and wooden
goods the reductions were greatest
In iron the average reduction was
thirty-scven per cent. and in woolens
fifty per cent Yet in iron and wooden
factories is the greatest increase in
activity noted and in these two
branches arc the advances in wages
most general. The lesson Is very
plain. 1t does not require solomon
or Newton TO discover it. 1t is
simply this: High tariff leads TO low
wages; low tariff Is accompanied by
high wages The proof is ovcrwhelm-
