MCKINLEY I'm DEMAND.

The demand for Mr.. Mckinley from all
parts of the country to crate on the
Fourth of July should not be understood
as meaning that it comes from curiosity
to see the next President, nor because his
name is William Mckinley. It is because
he has been designated by the Republican
party as the proper man to administer the
affairs of the General Government and
lead in the work of oiling the wheels of
commerce and industry that they may
roll ahead again without friction. The
people are hungering for better times. For
three years they have fed upon the husks
of prosperity. They have planted and
reaped, but no increase has come to them,
Their labor has brought no compensation.
They have been obliged to stand in help
lessness and see their savings wither and
disappear. They are in distress, but they
see the dawn of prosperity, and they
know it is the party which William Nc
Kinley represents that is pushing aside,
by the mighty principles of true Ameri-
canism, the debris of torn-down industry
that good times may come again.
1t is natural, therefore, that the people
should want the next President, who is to
lead in this mighty work, to help them
celebrate the day which stands III the
calendar of time and marks the beginning
Of the political and industrial inde-
penddnce of the United States. To be
sure, Mr.. Mckinley represents in himself
the highest type of American manhood.
AS citizen he stands for whatever is cal
culated to better the condition of the
neOnle but il is as the chief reDresenta-
tive of the political organization that is to
deliver the whole country from the thrall-
dom of bankruptcy with which Demo
cratic perfdy and incapacity environ
them that all want to see and hear him. The
coming Fourth of July should be day of
thanksgiving for the good that is about 10
come, as well as day of outpouring of
patriotism.

dustrial, commercial, financial and agri-
cultural independence, and without it the
declaration of July, 1776, would have
availed the people nothing. The great
ness OF nation lies in its commercial and
industrial strength, and its strength is
measured by the protection the nation
gives to its commerce and industries.
Hence, the meaning of the American
idea" is protection to each sovereign
against non-American or foreign indivld-
uals and agencies that are calculated to
impede him in his right to reap the full OF
his effort. There is nothing mysterious
or uncertain about the principle OF pro-
lection any more than there is in the
principle of political independence.
1t was the fear of the industrial lnde-
pendence of the colonies more than their
political separation that made England
struggle so hard to retain jurisdiction over
them. Since their independence was rec
ogniZed by Great Britain no stone has
been left unturned by that country to
nullify the declaration of industrial inde-
pendence by the adoption of free trade.
Free trade would give England CONNER
cial and financial supremacy, and not only
so, but SO long as free trade prevailed the
United States would be IN debt to her, and
since the debtor is always curtailed in in
dependence of action he is, in sense, a
slave. Commerce is void of sentiment,
and has no conception of the meaning OF
philanthropy. 1t fights always for the
supremacy of that nation which promotes
it, therefore in ratio to the protection this
country gives to it is this country's su-
premacy established. This is all that pro-
lection means and stands for. 1t is not
born of superstition, of sentiment, nor OF
any religion, but of common business
sense and experience in commercial opera

without microscope when it is known
that il was made after the editor and
proprietor of the Enquirer had put his
private mark OF ownership on an easy
working majority of the Ohio Democratic
State Convention and that his majority
passed a resolution to the effect that the
editor of the Enquirer is altogether the
best man in America for the Chicago con-
vention to nominate for Vice-President,
although, as matter of fact, he should
be given the first place.
The trouble with the Democratic party
is it is devoid of principles as well as prin-
ciple. Hitherto it has been supposed to
be party OF office-hungry men, whose
principles were like the chameleon-a
member of the lizard family which has the
faculty OF changing its colors to harmo-
nize with those of the thing it is for the
moment the most intimately associated
with. Two sets of principles, SO called,
are now undergoing repair for use at Chi
cago, and whichever set shall appear
to possess the greater number OF
deceptive qualities will be employed to
beguile the unwary into the Democratic
trap. If the Democratic party ever advo-
Gated principle that did not contemplate
the spoils of Office for the bosses it has
been kept under cover. At all events that
is not the kind that is used in active SER
vice. The plan of Whitney to straddle
questions which the people are deeply in
terested in may be said to be genuine
Democratic working principle, for 1t Is
composed wholly of intrigue, deceit and
false pretenses But t'principles, not
men," is joke-an idiotic joke at that.

RAILWAY SWITCHING CHARGES.

The act establishing freight rates without
switching charges by the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Railway was bold and deadly
blow against system of robbery that has
prevailed ever since the Southern Pacific
went into the monopoly business. Of
course shippers know that switching rates
are additional charges; that is to say, the
rate-sheet quotes the cost of transporta-
ton, which ostensibly includes all charges
between the initial and destination points,
but when the consignee comes to pay the
freight and remove the goods he finds a
switching" charge has been added to the
card-rate. For tearing down this system
of plundering shippers, the Valley road is
Justly entitled to the thanks of every busi-
ness man in the State, the more so because
there never was. nor could there ever be,
any excuse for such unjust methods to ex-
act money from the public. A stagecoach
might just as well stop on the outskirts of
the town and demand extra pay to deliver
its passengers at the hotel.
In the early days of railroading when
transfers were made by wagons there was
an excuse for such charges, for the term
mus of the road was its destination point,
but in these days of connecting lines the
switching charge means that the shipper
is in position to be squeezed with no
power to prevent it, and the custom was
not only introduced in railway manage
ment at an early day, but it has kept its
itching palm hard down upon all the
traffic of the State ever since. A single
switching charge does not exact great
deal of money to be sure, but in years
business it amounts to a great deal of
money to every large shipper. and very
often shipper would be satisfied with the
sum of the switching charges he has paid
for the years profit. But the management
of the Valley road will have nothing OF
that Sort and shippers are under obliga-
tions to it for overturning and annull-
ing most vicious and unfair custom.

THE GRADUATION GIRL.

When you read your farewell essay, when you step
upon the stage
And tell us what the country needs and why the
heathen rage;
When IN phrases so majestic your opinions are ex-
pressed
That we hardly understand you If the truth must
be confessed
Perhaps you'll solve this puzzle which so unrelent-
ing clings
And tell us why one girl has three or four engage
ment rings
We know 1t is problem. that has baff1ed every
land
To keep supply exactly in accordance with de-
mand,
And philosophers inform US that great deal of
our care
Is caused by some folks getting such a lot more
than their share
So when you speak of ethics, sociology and things
Pray tell us why one girl has three or four engage
ment rings. Washington Star.

but 1t is doubtful if there is anything fun

1t is too brazenly absurd to be twisted
into a news item, for an item

one thread of truth running through it
to make it go. The funny part of the

will provide for the construction of such paths
and they will belong to the wheelmen as much
as the sidewalk belongs to pedestrians. Future

to admit of such path. Wheelmen themselves
should be willing to have imposed upon each
