A Protective Tarla.

We renew and emphasize our allegi-
anee TO the policy OF protection as the
bulwark OF American Industrial inde-
pendenee and the foundation OF Amer
lean development and prosperity, This
true American policy taxes foreign pro-
ducts and encourages home Industry:
IL puts the burden OF revenue on for.
eign goods. Il secures the American
market for the American producer; Il
upholds the American standard OF
wages for the American workingman;
II puts the factory by the side % ,he
farm. and makes the American farmer
less dependent On foreign demand and
price; II diftuses general thrift and
POUNDS the strength OF all on the
strength OF each. In It's reasonable ap-
plication Il Is Just, fair. and impartial,
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly, to sectional dis
elimination and individual favoritism.
We denounce the present Democratic

tariff on foreign imports which come
into competition with American pro-
ducts as will not only furnish adequate
revenue Tor the necessary expenses OF
the government, but viii protect Amer
lean labor from degradation TO the
wage level OF other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question OF rates Is a practical
question. to he governed by the condl-
tions OF the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromlslng principle
Is the protection and development Of
American labor and industry. The
country demands a right settlement

THE WAR on THE COURTS.

Our dependence in the political cam
paign now opened Is that the people
at large, and by large majority, may
ind out before it is too late what is
going on. Let it be noted that at Chi
cago Gov. Altgeld inserted in the plat
form in diplomatic language clear
propositions for the Indulgence Of the
vindictiveness that is known to rankle
in him against the courts, particularly
those OF the United States; and Mr..
Bryan was at pains TO give part
OF his bird song to that theme and in
the spirit OF the master

him. 1t VIII be silver mad in both
branches. The senate will become
even more deplorable than it is. The

ators. the product Of the revolution,
win be a working majority, and II
this happens the contagion win strike
IN the congressional representative dis
trlcts. and the house Of representa-
tives win be clothed in the same red
paint that the president is to wear

supreme court? Oh. no: one OF the
great objects Of the revolution Is to

cipal adviser OF the administration.

partment OF justice. we may anticipate
rapid results from this tierce barba-
rian Of the radicals. The combina-
tion Of cranks in the executive and
legislative bodies would be at once

Bryas. - win be in the same
state that Cleveland was when he
found Democratic congress on his
hands and responsibility for the whole
policy Of the government fastened on
him. The supreme court would first
be attacked by its extension. Instead
of nine judges there would probably
be twenty-one. and the worst cranks
in the country pitchforked onto the
bench. Altgeld would probably be
chief justice. Bryan has already in
vited all the loafers to march as
tramps to Washington. and feed on
the farmers by the way, saying he
never would give an order to keep of
the grass. The grass would be loaded
with loafers and armies Of tramps for
ever on the march looking for any
way to make living without work.

The Astorian's comment on Mr.. Full
toms letter to the oregonian was not
inspired by any hostile feeling to-
wards Mr.. Fulton, nor does it believe
that Mr.. Fulton's letter published this
morning was written in any unfriendly
spirit towards the Astorian. In the
main the Astorian agrees with Mr..
Fulton's construction of the st. Louis
beratform, but until it appears that Mr..
.ourne has reeeded from his conten-
ion in favor of the free and unlimited
joinage Of silver. al Z ratio Of lG to I,
independent of international acton.
the Astorian submits as fair proposl-
ton, even under Mr.. Fulton's con-
struction, that Mr.. Bourne cannot
stand on the St. Louis platform, and
he must be, therefore, an improper
person to act as secretary of the Re-
publican state committee. 1t will be
remembered that the Astorian stated
after the st. Louis convention that the
convention had succeeded in making
money plank, which while in no sense
a straddIe, was yet so admirably
worded that no Republican, whether
believer in international bimetalllsm,
the free coinage of silver at its mar
ketabIe ratio. or the preservation Of
the existing standard could refuse to
stand on it. The only class Of people,
as 1t looks to the Astorian, who are
prescribed by the st. Louis declaration
are those who believe in the free coin
age of silver, Independent Of interna-
tional agreement, at a fixed ratio Of
-6 to /. To this class Mr.. Bourne un-
questionabiy belongs. Under the st.
Louis Interpretation, therefore, he can
not be Republican, end should re-
sign or be summarily deposed from
the committee.
