1T LOOKS VERY STRANGE
Mckinley Elected by the People to Wipe
Ont McKinleyfsm.

Out McKinleyism.
There Is a most welcome moderation IN
the tone of leading republicans in con-
gress regarding revenue legislation II
their present temper holds there would
seem to be reason to hope that a sub
stantially unanimous agreement may be
reached as to the proper means of i'm
mediate relief. 1t is perhaps too early
to predict the action of the republican ma
jority in congress. The protected mo-
nopolies will soon be clamoring for the
equivalent of their campaign contribu-
tons, and an extra session may be forced
upon the country. But there is growing
strong public sentiment against the revival
Of McKinleyism and against the disturb
ance of trade. Boston Post.
1t seems strange to read about
strong public sentiment against the
revival of McKinleyism" just after Nc
Kinley's triumphant election to the
presidency, and yet there appears to be
substantial justification for the senti-
mcnt. Still more strange does McKin-
ley's case become in the New York
Times view of it when it says that
lac was, at the close of the campaign,
'the champion of policy which he had
opposed for years, the only agent by
whom abhorrent tendencies caused or
stimulated by himself or the policies as
sociated with his name could be met
and overcome" That is, Mckinley was
elected by the people to wipe out Nc
kinleyism and ward off threatening in
fUences with which Mckinley was for
years in sympathy. This result was
achieved, in the Times opinion, through
ga most curious sequence of events, the
influence of decisions and the force of
circumstances"
ct was, indeed, most curious Sc
quence of events that operated to the
selection, for the promotion of certain
reforms, of a man utterly opposed to
those reforms. Strange indeed is the
combination of circumstances that con-
spired to this result. 1t is not to be
wondered at if some apprehension is
rife as to the possible failure of the
plan to enforce certain policies through
the agency of president not in sym
pathy with those policies. A man who
has been placed in a most important
position in government through the lin
f,uence of delusions" may, not unrea-
sonably, be expected to startle the VIC
Tins of those decisions. On the whole,
it may be said that the Mckinley adj
ministration promises to be full of in
terest for the students of government.

TARIFF VIEWS OF REPUBLICANS

Grasping Benefciaries Who Want Pro-
lection.
1--WE want protection for our Amer
lean industries assert high tariff re-
publicans.
What the country needs is a rev
enue tariff law-one that will prevent
a deficit" says Thomas B. Reed.
A petition has been presented to the
finance committee Of the senate by
SIS out of SO of the wool firms of Bos-
ton asking for the immediate passage
Of the Dingley bill as a measure of
temporary relief, to prevent the flood
ing of this country with foreign wool
ens.''
This coterie of patriots wants pro-
lection, not revenue. The relief it asks
is for themselves, not for the nation.
Senator Wilson, of Washington, is OPP
posed to the Dingley bill. He says:
1--WE do not want horizontal in
crease of the Wilson tariff rates. That
would benefit eastern interests, which
already have protection, but would do
very little good for us in the west. We
in that section want protection for
wool, lumber, coal and lead"
With the general disagreement
among republicans as to what kind of
tariff bill should be enacted, there
appears to be lovely fight ahead on
the matter of duties on importations.
The patriotism of the late campaign
is already displaying itself in the grasp
ing efforts of tariff beneficiaries to keep
out all goods which would come in COM
petition with their own regardless of
the effect on the government.
This is patriotism with a vengeance.
Buffalo Times.

POLITICAL IGNORANCE.

RepubHcanism.
The republican press has had much to
say of late about the debasing effect of
ignorance on politics. Its express pur-
pose is to make shallow people believe
that ignorance is responsible for the mil
lions of votes cast for the democratic
party.
The Republic showed from the statis-
tics of the census that, state for state,
except in the south, the disadvantage of
illiteracy was on the side of Mckinley.
1t pointed out that in the southern
states, where the percentage of litter
acy is enormous, the i1literate negro ele-
ment belongs to the republican party. It
called attention to the fact that the
great cities, which the republican press
itself has charged were hitherto demo-
cratic because of the large proportion of
vicious voters, this year gave great re-
publican majorities.
But now comes Senator Bill Chandler
vociferously voicing a demand for the
annexation of Hawaii, with its popula-
ton of half and whole savages, and
many republican organs are insisting
that there shall be no restriction of i'm
migration, because the foreign element
is favorable to the gold standard and
other republican policies and saved the
day for the party in the recent contest.
This hypocritical policy is in keeping
with the republican party's record. 1t
denounced the foreign voters as igno-
rant paupers and anarchists as long as it
thought the democratic party got their
votes. The ignorant voters are the
voters who do not vote the republican
ticket. The favorite republican dictum
is that the intelligence of the country
ought to control, but, from its stand
point, intelligence is the ability to make
and control millions, and hence the intel
ligence which ought to control the coUn-
try is the money interests that can pur-
chase the votes of the ignorant and de-
PRAYED.
The republican party added millions
of ignorant votes to the voting popula-
ton solely because it believed they
would perpetuate and extend the power
of the party, and it is willing TO do it
again whenever the chance offers.-St.
Louis Republic.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-12-17

The rich manufacturers contrib
uted literally toward the running ex-
penses of the campaign. Reasoning
from the past they had good reason to
hope that the accession of the repub-
lican party to power would be followed
by return to the good old Mckinley
tariff times. What more natural, there
fore, than that they should begin at
once a systematic agitation for another
Mckinley bill. They are simply fol-
lowing out fundamental law of the
protection school of fnance-the more
protection a given class receives, the
more it wants; once favored by special
legislation, it expects and demands al
ways to be thus Acknowledgment Free
