Nsv Jsrs~y Orators Impudsnt Claim fos
Republication

A sample OF the kind OF fapioodle
with which republican orators stuff
their credulous hearers is found in the
address Of state senator r. {. stokes.
chairman Of the late repu blican state
convention OF New Jersey. After
claiming that every good thing on
earth was the result % republican leg
islation o. ofice-holding, and that all
calamity and misfortune has been
caused by the wicked democrats. he
proceeded u explain why ths was So
The republican party he said. ..is a
party whose principles are as broad as
the nation and as great a. the repub-
lie; party that stands for all that IS
great and inspiring. II stands for hu-
man freedom and mas sympathy for
liberty a; home and abroad. IL stands
for Justice and equal rights for all"
Brave words. Truly n noble plat
form for any party. But does this
declaration OF principles represent re-
publicanistn Of to-day l. the party
which stands for combination Of
local selfish interests, all seeking for
government favors at the expense of
the whole people. really one OF broad
national principles Does the party
which makes its campaigns on appeals
10 sectional prejudice, ignorance and
greed stand for all that is great and
inspiring? What kind of freedom is
favored by the shameless spoilsmen
who corrupt the voters whom they
have impoverished with funds wrung
from the beneficiaries of class leyisla-
ton? Freedom 10 bear heavy tax bur
dens and TO buy dear goods from tariff
created monopolists? Liberty. TO trade
with foreign nations only on payment
of heavy fines on all goods taken in
exchange for those we send abroad?
Are commerce-restricting laws which
force the masses TO pay annually enor-
nous sums to privileged class enacted
in the spirit of liberty? Does true
freedom mean the oppression OF the
many by unjust taxatin. in order that
the few may roll up great fortunes?
Has the party of Nnay and platt. of
Fat-Frying Foster and Blocks-of- Five
Dudley enacted a single law during
the past 30 years that has been on the
side Of liberty and against restriction?
II i possible that senator Stokes
was not ashamed TO publicly declare
that the republican party stands for
justice and equal rights for all. He
certainly should have been. The at
tempe OF the party which owes its
present existence to the defense and
advocacy Of injustice 10 pose as the
champion OF equal rights Is an insult
20 the people who for over 30 wears
have been robbed by the party's laws
The farmers who have been crushed |
into poverty by system of taxation
which violated every principle of equal
rights. the workingmen who under
protection paid far heavier taxes on
their necessities than the rich men did |
on their luxuries. knew how little |
truth there is in the republican claim.
They know that the once great party
Of Lincoln has passed into the hands
Of a gang of corrupt agents of monop-
oily. and that the only promise for any
real reform in the interest of the
masses must come through the democ-
racy. the party OF the common people. |

WILSON TARIFF DID IT.


According TO the calamity orrans
the Wilson tariff is responsible for all
the business. social and other ills
which have trou bled the country since
the Mckinley law was repealed. Fires.
drough;s. failures resulting from dis
honesty or incompctency. burglarics.
big crops of potatoes. small crops of
hay. floods. weevil. low-priced wool.
high-priced hides. the Russian thistle.
divorces. the bicycle craze. strikes. the
decreased demand for horses through
the extension of the TROLLEY system
and the increase Of high tariff living
have all been caused BY democratic
free trade IL any farmers crops hare
been light the Wilson tariff did il.
The same wicked law froze the Florida
orange groves, aud also caused a mild
winter in the north which prevented
the harvesting of full ice crop. Ow-
ing TO the competition Of untaxed
cheap weather from Canada and Mex
leo the winters have been colder and
the summers hotter than when McKin-
lev ruled the land. Grass refuses In
grow and trees bud since protection
was struck down BY the disloyal enc
mics of high taxes There can be no
doubt that II was the reduction Of
eight per cent in tariff duties which
brought about all the calamities which
afflicted the country during the past
two years BY simply restoring the
Mckinley rates the dark clouds OF

however. would come from the fact
that If the foreign vessels which now
carry our farm produce TO Europe were
compelled TO return empty to this
country. they would have to charge
higher rates for carrying our exports.
This would mean that our ability to
sell abroad. which depends largely up
on the cheapness OF our products az
compared with those of competing ma

In order 10 pay the increased freight

FOREIGN PROTECTED MiLLERs.
American Flour Manufacturers Want .Re-
tsiistory Legislation Against Foreigu
Countries

rsiistory Legislation" Against Foreign
Countries
A somewhat novel view of tariff dis
elimination on the part Of foreign
countries was expressed at a recent
hearing before the ways and means
committee in Washington An asso-
citation of manufacturers of wheat
-four demanded .'retaliatcry legisla-
tion" against Germany. France. Italy.
Spain, belgium Switzerland. Portugal
and Sweden because those courfrie
impose on imported -four duties which
are higher than those which they i'm
pose on imported wheat Herein. il
was urged. is wicked ..discrimina-
tion" against fiour. and the offending
countries should be punished by retail
iatory statutes In this way. /. was
held, they could be compelled 10 buy
American -four instead OF American
wheat, and the millers in this country
would derive much benefit from the
change.
But why do the countries mentioned
irnI ose higher duties on fiour than
those which are paid on wheat? Is it
not for the protection of their own
millers? They buy American wheat.
but they prefer that IL shall be ground
in their own mills. both for the reason
that it is their policy to sustain and
protect their domestic milling indus
try and because their people prefer
the methods and the products Of do
mestic mills Ought our protectionist
millers TO complain because the for
eign miliers are thus protected
If they persist in complaining ard
in demanding retaliation can they
reasonably expect to gain anything by
the legislation they suggest? We think
that retaliatory legislation would dc
more harm than good. and that our
own wheat growers and -four millers
would he hurt by tn. Y. Times
