Tariff Plans and Campaign Promises.

For the benefit of those persons who
look with surprise upon the Canton
clique's plans for high protection tar
if, as revealed by the Dingley proceed
ings in Washington, there should be
an explanation. Such persons recall
the facts that the Mckinley campaign
was made on the money issue. and that
the Republican leaders caused it to be
understood there would be no post
victory sacrifices to the mill bosses,
and they incline to wonder why. since
victory was won, there has been no
Republican discussion of how the finau-
cial system might be improved. They
also awkwardly ask why all this troIb-
lie to please the tariff seekers.
These myopic persons should be in
formed that while Mr.. Hanna devoted
his attention last summer to the money
question, it was the manufacturers who
answered it to his satisfaction and to
Major McKinley's election. The ques-
ton was, ..How much?" and they re-
piled in such a way that there was
nothing left to be desired by Hanna's
inquiring spirit. The persons inter
ested in maintaining the present mon
etary standard, true to their habits of
thought, did not allow themselves to
become notorious for liberality.
Now the fight is over and victory
has perched upon the cupola al Canton,
and the rewards of merit and valor are
about to be distributed. Why should
the money brokers and bond syndicates
expect TO head the line? Why shouldn't
the mill bosses have the first chance
ut the feast?-N 7. Journal.

THE State Legislator is allowed
mileage TO reimburse himself for his
expenditure in travelling to and from
the State capital. If he expends no
money for that purpose it is not fair
that he should draw any from the
State treasury on that account for he
Is out nothing. The State pays him
mileage on the superstition that he has
paid the railroads or other common
carriers the amount he draws upon his
mileage account. When the railroads
carry him for nothing he should not
be allowed money for mileege for the
reason he is out nothing for this pur-
pose. When our local statesmen find
that they cannot ride on a free pass
and at the same time draw their mile
age, without laying themselves liable
to perjury, the pass will no longer be
in demand.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Following Is
Che first annual message of President
Mckinley to congress:
TO the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives:
1t gives me pleasure to extend greeting
TO the Fiftv-fourth congress assembled at
the seat of government, with many Of
whose senators and representatives have
been associated in the legislative service.
Their meeting occurs under felicitous
conditions, iustifying sincere congratula-
ton and calling for our grateful acknowl-
edgment to bene1cent Providence which
has so signally blessed and prospered us
as nation. Peace and good will with
all the nations of the earth continue I'M
broken.
Patriotism Now Above Partizauship.
A matter of genuine satisfaction is the
growing feeling of fraternal regard and
unification of all sections of our country,
the inCompleteness of which has too long
delayed realization of the highest bless
ings of the Union The spirit of patriot
ism is universal and is ever increasing in
fervor. The public questions which now
most engross us are lifted far above
either partizanship, prejudice or former
sectional differences. They affect every
part of our common country alike and
permit of no division on ancient lines.
Questions of foreign policy, of revenue.
the soundness of the currency, the inviola-
bility of national obligations, the i'm
provement of the public service, appeal to
the individual conscience of every earnest
citizen to whatever party he belongs or
in whatever section of the country he may
reside.
