Chandler and Mckinley.

st. Louis Republic.
Senator Chambers interview on
Mckinley emphasizes the peculiar
methods Of republican campaigns.
When rogues fall out honest men
have chance Of obtaining their own
and when the republican brethren
consent to let in the light upon their
methods, the public has an oppor-
tunity Of observing the hollowness
and mockery Of their patriotic decla-
nations.
As to the code of ethics under
which Senator Chandler has consid.
cred himself justified in seeking out
q newspaper to thrust forward his
opinions Of the leading candidate for
the presidential nomination on his
party's ticket, nothing need be said.
The charges he makes are based
upon fairly solid foundation. He
accuses Mr.. Mckinley Of swooping
down on Pennsylvania and other
states and levying upon the protected
interest OF those states in support Of
his own candidacy.
1t may be, Of course, that the sem
ator Is in favor Of Allison. who did rs
much as Mckinley to place upon the
statute book the Objectionable Nc
kinley bill Of 1890. But, apart from
his sympathy with Mr.. Allison or
with any other candidate. the facts rs
they stand put Mckinley in an ex-
ceedingly unpleasant light. His
agents have gone into several states
to gain for him the votes which had
already been pledged to favorite
sons. The vast arrangements made
in all those states. rs well rs those
made In st. Louis. must involve a

And with what bitterness have they
been met! The accusation is one
which can be justly made against the
whole policy Of protection. and vet
the workingman is supposed to be
the beneficiary Of the policy. The
tariff barons are the only men who
profit by high tariffs. They pay for
the election OF the high tariff party.
and they compel the people to pay
them in return. The spleen which
in all probability prompted the at
tack Of Senator Chandler in no way
lessons the Importance of the glaring
facts upon which the attack is
founded. 1t goes to prove that in
republican methods, as in republi.
