him AZ sample Of the misrepresenta-
tions that are being made. we call at
tention to the assertion of ex-Congress-
man Lawrence, president OF the Wool
Growers association, before the Dingley
committee, which was that Mckinley
owes his election to the wool men, and
that they have the right to expect
tariff on imported wool ranging from
so to 100 per cent That Law
renee uttered a falsehood there is
no doubt at all, and, not only so, but he
knew there was no truth in what he
said, but the committee pretended to be-
lieve it, and the tariff on wool will be
fixed accordingly.
The truth of the matter Is, the chief
wool producing states voted not only for
free silver but free wool as well. They
were Wyoming. Idaho, Colorado, Utah,
Montana and Texas, while California
and Oregon came very near going the
same way. No one supposes that the
wool men of these states are opposed to
high protection for the item of wool 1t
is not natural that they should be, but
they regarded the money question of
paramount importance. and they were
willing to help elect free wool man to
the presidency for the sake of having
proper financial legislation, and what
is true of the wool states is true of the
whole country. Thousands of protection
lists voted for Bryan because the money
question was the issue, and 1t was upon
that issue Mckinley was elected. /. e.. to
try ,or international bimetallism before
the United States assumes to establish
a financial system independent Of other
countries, all of which has been pushed
aside in the interest of the industrial
trusts and monopolies. The indications
row are that nothing short of the direct
irterposition of Providence would save
the Republican party from overthrow at
the next congressional election.

TONydHrs ADJUSTMENTS
THINGS THAT ARE APPARENT

Two things are apparent. First. the So
called sound-money Democrats made
McKinley's election possible under
promise that the money question should
be made paramount to all others, and
financial system put in operation which
should retire the greenbacks and take
the government out of the banking busi-
ness. Second, under pressure from the
high protectionists Mckinley has
adopted a policy which ignores the
money question altogether and makes
high tariff schedules the chief end ard
aim of his administration. Were the
situation not so serious there would be
keen delight and sweet satisfaction in
saying 'I told you So to the Democrats
who were inveigled into the trap that
Hanna set for them. There is evidence
plenty that it was never the intention
of the managers of McKinley's cam
paign to let him subordinate the tariff
question to anything.
But for the Democratic vote that was
cast for him Mckinley would have been
the worst defeated candidate since
Greeley was repudiated by the people.
1t will be remembered that during the
campaign no speaker who talked tariff
could hold an audience, but that anyone
question intelligently would have
crowded houses. The fact is, the people
insisted that the tariff question be let
alone and the money question held to
the front and made the paramount issue.
The gold Democrats believed that they
could rely upon Mckinley to make his
policy conform to their wishes and put
the tariff question aside until the gov
ernment had adopted a financial system
on the lines of the Indianapolis plat
form, which was not at all antagonistic
to the st. Louis declaration of the Re
publican party, and acting upon that
belief they elected him.
But Mr.. Mckinley, whether by order
of Hanna or by his own voition, it mat
ters not, has not only repudiated the
agreement with the gold Democrats to
put the money question to the front, but
he announces through Senator Thurston
that no effort whatever will be made to
readjust the financial system of the
country until every industrial product.
including raw material, IS secured
against any and all outside competition
by a protective tariff law that will pro-
tect. 1t is the most dasiardly betrayal
of confidence in the history Of American
politics, and what makes II all the more
Infamous is that the high protection
leaders of the Republican party in
tended all the time to turn their backs
upon the gold Democrats so soon as their
votes We're secured.
Not only have the gold Democrats
been betrayed and kicked out but the
high protection Republicans are delib-
erately falsifying the election records to
prove that it was the promise of high
protection, and not the Democratic vote
which went to Mckinley, that elected

of business since the election; but call
attention to 1t to show how significant 1t
is Of our spirit as nation We are in
utter bondage to 'our business inter-
ests." A weak and struggling people
under our very noses are making as
brave fight for their homes and nation
al honor as history records, but we will
not openly lift a finger to help them. be-
cause thereby we might lose a dollar.
Robbery. rapine and murder, under the
name of war, are carried on right In
front of our door, and we will not even
protest, because 1t might affect the
stock market. A year ago Senator Sher-
man was the loudest- -mouthed lingo OF
them all, but now he has changed his
mind. Cuba might become charge
upon us" The election is past. Even a
rich New York dude cannot become q
British subject without causing finan-
cial disturbance. We place our material
interests above justice. above honor,
above manhood. We proclaim our trust
in God on our coins--so as to be sure not
to forget it-but our actions belle our
words. 1t is hypocritical pretense. 1t
is the dollar itself in which we trust.
The effect of this is to lower ourselves
in our own opinion. There are thinking
minds that are questioning whether pa
triotism, which has been our glory in
the past, Is not becoming a lost virtue
w nat Is there 10 lONe ABOUT govern
ment that sacrifices everything to greed
and-worse than that to the greed of a
privileged few? We are not violent
people, even If Mr.. Ambassador Bayard
does tell the English we are. We are a
cool-headed people, and are likely to
settle all disputes in peaceful manner.
But the fact remains. easily to be seen
by any observer, that a very large class
of our citizens are coming to look upon
our general government with feelings Of
distrust. The government that encour-
ages one class of citizens to ride upon the
backs of another class cannot count
safely upon the patriotism of the class
being ridden. Mr.. Chauncey Depew
may make beautiful after-dinner
speeches about 1.-The possibilities of
American citizens under our glorious
free institutions" etc, ETC., etc. But
people will smile and remember that it
IS only a way Chauncey has and really
means nothing at all. These are only
stereotyped expressions that have come
down to us from Daniel Webster and
Edward Everett, and are kept for such
special occasions as after-dinner speech
es. Fourth of July rations and Friday
afternoon school exercises. The fact Of
the matter is. the possibilities" of the
average American citizen are narrowing
rapidly. year by year. all the grandilo-
ouent speeches to the contrary rotwith-
standing so that in many matters OF
governmental and social reform we are
not even keeping step with the rest of
the civilized world. Is American patriot
ism waning? NJ X. MILLER.

munity protection against a dishonest

any way a remedy the legislature has
neither time, temper nor quality to try
an impeached judge.
In the recent history of California we
have had great and honest judges ma
liciously attacked and slandered with
out means of adequate relief; we have
had men physically incapacitated for
work as judges remain on the bench,
impede justice and overburden their fell
low judges; we have had men morally
disgraced sitting as judges. For ALL
these things the community has had no
relief.
Contempt of court is the offense which
the good judge must invoke for protec-
tion against slander, but from the very
nature 1t is and must be unsatisfactory
to fair minded judge and to the pub
lie. The proposed court of discipline is
offered by competent and conservative
leaders of the bar to remedy very pal
pable abuses in our legal administra-
ton. The reign of technicality in law
and of chicanery among certain classes
of the bar must be brought to an end
If the people are to retain their conf
